All the posts have been impersonal so this one will have a little more ‘me’ in it. Oh joy. The last few days have been rough and I don’t really know where my head is, both emotionally and with work. I want to work but like everyone I’ve spoken to on my course there is a great sense of apathy in me. Not only that but I have the attention span of a goldfish and in this house that will be the end of me.
I am also having trouble saying things, articulating myself. Everything comes out wrong or seems to and disaster strikes. I try and explain myself and mind working but it just seems to become like some alwful stain spreading itself. I wish I didn’t open my mouth.

“Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent” – Wittengstein
He was right, he may have back tracked on that later in terms of philosophy and aesthetics but when it comes to common sense, and making life easy, yes Belle should be quiet! When I can’t formulate a sentence, my attempts to do so are what get me in the shit. It’s as though I just pick words to fill the spaces in desperate attempts and then I look back and think ‘God you were chatting crap’
I was happy for a while but my over analytical mind got bored of simple and decided to screw into itself again.
But I like Wittengstein, a lot. He died right before he even managed to finish his theory which in itself could have perhaps solved philosophy and answered all questions. It’s even his fault because he got a little too ahead of himself and decided he had solved everything before he had even touched the essence of the answer. But I like that. He seemed pretty brave, and acknowledged his mistakes in the long term.

Therefore I will now state that our Aesthetics lecture was not a complete waste.
I felt it went slightly too fast and most of the first part I had a previous grasp on, it was just that my doing R.S. at A level had put such ideas into the light of ‘religion’ when really what these gents were chatting about was aestheticism; ideals and how we have achieved the ability to believe them.
But it was lovely to go back to philosophy after it’s long absence in my life. I’ve missed it. I’ve taken a book out from the library [I was the first to take it out as it’s new c: ] and it is about art philosophy and beauty. It’s a very big book and a little scary but it’s going to aid my project little in terms of research and it will definately help my essay. Which I have vaguely chosen the title of.
“Has the notion of beauty been lost today’s contemporary art?”
Or something like that? Again better words are needed. My tutor suggested “Beauty and Sublime” but that could just be too easily from an article. I know what it’s about though which is good and the main thing. I’ll base my argument on the idea of Anti aestheticism and the concept of beauty making a ‘come back’ but not as we know it, rather in concept, time, detailing etc, whilst comparing a few artists. I’ll be bias and pick ones I love. Haha.
I’m quite excited. This essay really could be good if I get on it for the full … 4 weeks. God that’s not long enough when you have to do PPD as well. Balls. Oh well I will have to, this needs to be epic!! Bajesus. There’s so much work to do and no time.

Oh i need a pet to make me smile again and de-stress me.
