One Toke Over the Line

Well, discussion in class about art earlier this week fell onto margin art, margin photographs, etc. I think that at least acknowledging stuff of the margin is good, but should there be that line of okay and not okay? It's the same problem we ran across with censorship. In our group, it was brought up that just because you may find something offensive does not mean you have to look at it. What if there was no other choice?

Okay, those were my semi-deep, relevant thoughts for the day. I was looking up different mythological creatures for another class and I was reminded how much I love it. Everyone knows that the Kraken was based off of giant squid, but it was kinda cool being reminded that sailors thought the Kraken was as big as an island. Part of the reason I may be hitting another "mythology is frakkin' awesome!" stage is because I watched "The Last Unicorn" the other day. 'Tis still an awesome movie, and I was sad to realize that I didn't bring up my copy of the book to school with me. Oh well. I'm sure I'll live. I might be going through withdrawals, but I'll live.
