Pretty sure Shubert AND opera is by far the best car music ever...EVER!

Wow, awww. I’m pretty sure that that just made my weekend. Like, it’s been an awesome weekend in general anyways, but that comment was pretty sweet. But I actually had this conversation with Lola today about how love is a verb and it totally makes sense to some extent. I mean, when you actively love someone or something, that love exists, but as soon as you stop, the love ceases to exist. I don’t know, I tend to think about the concept of what love is a lot, but I enjoy thinking about insanely unanswerable questions like that. I find that pretty interesting that you actually had a clear picture of what love is before, because I really never had. I don’t have a problem with not having a definition for it, I guess that I didn’t ever think about someone else actually just being like “yeah, love is this”. But the verb thing is probably the closest thing to an actual idea of it. It’s kind of like how dance is a verb and every single time you dance it’s a little bit different, even if it’s with the same person to the same song. Yeah, I’m sure that I totally don’t make any sense, but it’s a pretty fresh idea. I need time to let it grow into a real thought, you know?
And yeah, I totally know what you mean about having to draw super badly and I also know the hardships of not having a scanner. Bah on that! I’m thinking that I need to make a picture like this… I think that it should be a series, but like each image in the series is a different person’s pictorial version of love. Hmmm, now I’m all thinky. I wish that I didn’t have work tomorrow so I could stay up all night and think up my own version…

I really like that verb spin on what love is, especially when you bring up the topic of dance. Dance is one of those human expressions or arts that really only exists when it's going on; once it's over all that's left is the memory, and I guess that's also true for love. I like the comparison between dance and love because it gets me thinking about how love is really another form of human expression. I also like the "every time it's different" connection. Nice metaphor! I wish I could explain difficult ideas that well.
I've been thinking a lot about how we develop throughout our lives recently, and it occurred to me that the older we get, the more complex things like love get. I mean, when you're a baby looking at your mom or a little kid with a pet, affection and love are probably a lot simpler than they are at this point in our lives. I think this has a lot do with why for me love seems like so much fuzzier a concept than it used to. It's not so much that I used to be able to clearly define exactly what it was, but just that the feeling itself was simpler.
Yeah, I tend to spend a lot of time thinking about this sort of stuff. I think it's important to really stretch your cognitive muscles with some philosophy sometimes because even if you're not going to come up with any useful answer, it helps you understand yourself.
I like your idea of doing a series on this. You could just grab a bunch of artists and be like "Draw love... Dooooo it!". I think it would be kind of neat also to have the different artists not look at each others work until after you're done the series, just to get a bunch more perspectives.
Yeah, work interfering with doing other cool stuff is weak
