Post Whatever You Are Thinking At This Very Moment

Yes saw that, no idea why as she didn't post her thoughts on Coldplay, maybe she's just one of those odd balls that downvotes based on her opinion on other posters rather than the content posted.

Why do you keep referring to me as a “she”? What is wrong with you?

There’s nothing wrong with me, others have refereed to you as she, so assumed you were.

NO. "Others" haven't referred to me as she. Only Redacted has, and she does it deliberately and maliciously. Perhaps you shouldn't believe the shit that antagonist spews, like everyone else here.

You need to chill out and not get so wound up about stuff, I’ll refer to you as he going forward.

I have an even better idea: don't refer to me at all!

That would be great, thanks!

Salty has claimed to be female before, I honestly have no idea what it is.

 

[Was I ever any good]

Salty could be a cross- dresser.
That would solve things perhaps.

Maybe if you had commented on why you didn't agree with my post on Coldplay rather than just downvoting it, I wouldn't have had to refer to you at all.

I have ignored your constant stupid, unwarranted aggression against me for months, possibly years.

The fact that you suggest that things need "solving". Oh, the irony. And you don’t even understand how f***ed up and idiotic that is!

I am not the one who bravely “comes out” at the age of almost 60 (to a handful of morons on an internet forum) because I have a history of being rejected by women, and am now trying it with the men.

Likewise, I am not the one who keeps writing drunken “poetry” night after night on a music forum, lamenting how disappointed I am in lurve, and how disappointed I am by the womens and now the mens, and how lurve just isn’t for me.

No, you, are the one who seems to be in dire need of “solving” a few things, and here’s some advice (normally my advice is expensive, but I feel generous today so you get it for free): nobody likes a stupid drunkard with anger issues. So, work on your anger issues, go talk to someone, get some counselling, go join Alcoholics Anonymous and hopefully, that will solve a few things for you!

Yes, I meant the signature gif! He was so joyful and proud in that gif - but the reason I loved that gif for you the most of all, is because of how ebullient he was! Were you bored of him? Whenever you would occasionally be back in here for a visit with Mister Mistoffelees’ ta-das and with his high-kicks and his hi-jinks - well they were the only ebullient moments of anything I’ve ever been exposed to in here at all! Did you get sick of him? I don’t know… how could you get sick of him, if you thought my idea to go see Cats stoned was such a GREAT idea!

I can’t remember exactly when it started, maybe the end of last year? Or maybe the beginning of this year? I can’t remember, but anyway, at first i just wasn’t myself at all for a little while and I was feeling very sad, and so I was having a real I wear black on the outside because black is how I feel on the inside moment. That was what started it all initially, lol. And then I can’t remember, but after a few days or after a week or two, I changed back to how it was originally.

And then I still felt so unspeakably, totally dis-aligned and misaligned with that image. and with any image of anything that I would normally like or relate to - that I felt like a pitch black square was the only thing I could possibly even conceive of, to choose to visually represent me, because it’s the only pictorial representation that communicates that it offers absolutely nothing, and takes absolutely nothing.

It’s the only avatar with no artifice. There is no artifice, because I am the precipice. It’s an avatar that offers no explanation for who or what I am, because ultimately, I will never offer any artifice, or any explanation. There is no prequel to me. There is no sequel to me.

I can be anything anyone wants me to me be. I learned how to play that game a very long time ago. But I will still only ever be me. In all my incarnations. The blackness can be an abyss. It can be my depths. I am the abyss. Or it could just be the walls all around me, through which no one can see in.

A black hole is everything, and it is nothing. I am also everything and nothing. It’s the future, and it’s the past, all rolled into one, where time loses all meaning, and all that exists is the self. A black square is also isolating, and isolative. It is dependent on nothing. It calls for no one. It may be a thing, it may be real, or it may be nothing at all. It may be nothing more than a close up of a small piece of silk from the hem of my dress.

So, NO! I was not quite going for Black Lives Matter! Silly little goose!

In art, there is a movement called Suprematism, founded in Russia by Kazemir Malevich around 1915. It focuses on basic geometric forms (circles, squares, lines, rectangles) and it emphasizes the supremacy of pure artistic feeling over the depiction of objects.

Suprematism is considered one of the key movements of abstract art, influencing later developments in modern and contemporary art. I am interested in this less as an art movement, and more as a concept as it specifically applies to my own life. The supremacy of pure artistic feeling not over the depiction of objects for me - but above and over all.

I was thinking of all of this when I chose to remain as a perfect black square for the moment.

In Suprematism, Art shouldn’t represent reality. I also don’t represent reality. Not here, and not anywhere else, either. Malevich sought to free art from the burden of reality, allowing it to exist so that it could live independently as a creation of the artist’s mind. I also only exist as a creation of my own mind. Because in fact, anything outside of that - couldn’t matter any less to me.

And so I had this black square, which felt vital and critically necessary, because i couldn’t represent anything else, and also I didn’t want to.

But then a month or two or whenever later, I remembered Malevich’s most famous painting, which is also the most famous and iconic painting of Suprematism, called “Black Square”. I hadn’t thought of it immediately because his black square looks very different to my black square - his black square is on a white background that looks cream to me, and the black also not completely solid. It’s not even a very deep-hued black. It doesn’t immediately convey opacity, as the first thought you might have about it when looking at it. It’s very different.

It has white cracks surfacing all across it, as though all the white lines are tracing routes across a globe. Or maybe, they’re what cracks on a heart would look like - if everything that leaves a mark on us rose to the surface so that we could see all the demarcations left behind.

In any case, when I finally remembered it, I immediately recognized with such obvious familiarity, the intriguingly similar parallels underlying the use, and also the intended underlying representation, of each of our respective black squares. Lol!

Suprematism had a profound impact on the development of modern art, influencing movements such as Constructivism and Abstract Impressionism - which is neither here nor there for me. But it did also play a crucial role in the development of 20th century avant-garde art - which is where my deeper loyalty lies, and what I’m more moved by.

Although completely foundational to it; the movement’s emphasis on geometrical abstraction is incidental to me. It’s a tool, used to make a point. And it drives the point home very well. What I care about the most in all of this, is the exploration of pure artistic feeling. And the emphasis on the geometric abstraction and on the exploration of pure artistic feeling from this movement are what subsequently paved the way for future artists to experiment with non-representational forms and very conceptual approaches to art.

Moving away for a moment from visual arts to writers, you’re probably somewhat familiar with Jorge Luis Borges, yes? I imagine at least in name. He’s an Argentinian writer who became one of the most significant literary figures of the 20th century, famous for his works that delve into abstract and philosophical themes. His works often explore complex themes such as infinity, labyrinths, and the nature of reality. His short stories are known for their abstract and philosophical nature, delving into concepts such as infinite structures and abstract worlds.

I’m just using him as an example, I’m not in any way exclusively impassioned or devoted to his work, but conceptually, certainly these are the types of abstractions and symbolic themes in modern art and literature that draw me in, and which pull me close and hold me in place.

But nothing is static, not even for a moment. Not ever. And certainly neither am I.

Individuality, rebellion, and creativity - in me, and around me - are my oxygen. But these things have to have a foundation of substance underneath, in order to have any value.

So, ummmm, YES. We could definitely say that I was NOT exactly going for Black Lives Matter.

I’ve been wanting to reply to this. Apologies for the delay. I have these prolonged periods of fatigue during which I am pretty much incapable of doing anything, including reading anything longer than a paragraph and writing anything longer than a paragraph. I’m getting better, slowly.

Every time I have to reorient myself. How I feel, and how I am and who I am alternates between high-kicks and barely managing to stay above the surface. And then everything in between. I'll write more about this, Mr Mistoffelees, Juan Borges and black later.

NOW what the heck am I going do about my beautiful black abyss, bunbun!!

Make it blacker. Make it so black that it looks like a void.

Isn’t amusing to see the three witches of solo congregate around their cauldron to cast their spells upon anyone that either disagrees or simply annoys them.

SALTY… I always knew that you were a closet fan of my poems, otherwise you wouldn’t have read them. Would you !!
AND, I’m a mere 55, and not 60. By God you are a cheeky one

NWL….. Well your just one of those stupid
Lemmings that will follow any fool over
The cliff top. I’m so NOT Surprised that your single and all alone.

ZOOM….. well, she just likes to argue the
Toss just about anything that is ever posted on solo.
Another sad sack that presents as though
She lives out a bitter existence.

Well Ladies…… have fun around your
Cauldron this evening.

Eye of Newt anyone ?

I was watching The National on IPlayer last night last night who were on the other stage and said to my wife that they've pulled a hell of a crowd tonight, makes sense now after reading the BBC review on the main stage headliner.

After a rumoured appearance by pop queen Madonna fell through, the slot eventually went to US R&B star SZA.

One of the most-streamed artists in the world, she's a vibrant, confident performer, whose complex, messy dissections of modern relationships have endeared her to millennial fans.

But their passion failed to ignite any magic on the Pyramid Stage.

The star drew the smallest audience I've ever seen for a Glastonbury headliner, in more than 20 years of coming to the festival.
