Just a random thought, for my first ever contribution!

I think perception is important. Important enough to be foundational in our appreciation of whats around us.

One's perception determines the interpretation of what one sees, hears, feels, smells and tastes. This is known as sense perception, to be more specific. Without proper sense perception, one will never be able to fully appreciate the true (or lack of) beauty of things they encounter. But then again, do you really need perfect taste buds to truly enjoy fried, crispy chicken? do you really need a perfect sense of hearing to know that chirping birds sound better than gunshots? Would you not know that shit is unpleasant if you had a blocked nose?

I think what your senses tell you, and what your mind tells you, are 2 different things (pardon me for the weird english).

Your senses send impulses to the brain to alert the brain of whatever you have encountered. But how one reacts to it differs among different people. Does everyone have different kinds of senses? everyone still has the same 5 senses (6, for some). But I think opinion also plays a role. Opinions differ among people, which probably explains different interpretations between people. One man's David Cook is another man's David Archuleta. Tastes differ among people.

SO WHY DOES TASTE DIFFER AMONG PEOPLE?

I think that is the question.

Truly the rambling of a bored NSF

polka-dotted apple competition

did an experiment with some of you guys: collected

1. a visible noun eg. apple
2. an invisble/abstract noun eg. competition
3. an adjective eg. polka-dotted

put them all in excel and shuffled them around a little.

PHRASE OF THE DAY:

Foamy whale grace.

makes sense!

P.S. ...what does this stand for? Anybody know?

POST-SCRIPT?! i'm going to pull an oscar on this blog's initiation.

eh. thanks to bingxin for her suggestion: 'elephant'. major inspiration.
thanks to nujabes who put me in the mood. more bout that later.
thanks to the song 'cloud age symphony' which gave me cloudy impressions.

And while we're on the subject, although I sort of insulted Van Gogh there, he's really great, really. I love him. So i'm gonna give him some noob love by posting pictures for all those out there
who think Van Gogh invented the telescope.

salutations

it is the birth of cloud deck, but not the start of our artistic musings!...

Welcome.

Here, we shall
draw, design, doodle, post doodles, listen to music, write poetry, take photographs,
feature photoshoots, share crazy videos, gossip, spur on the random movement, engage in
complete ludicrosy, make general comments on life.

We are observers of life and cloud deck is our observatory. And i believe that anyone who can observe anything of any kind...can engage in any kind of art. No matter how often you fail at pictionary. Or how the picture of your mom on your mother's day card consists of three strokes. Or how your bear looks like an alligator. or a piece of tapioca.

if there's anything I want to accomplish here and now and in the future, it's to have every person regardless of race, religion, gender, excuse to participate in something I like to call A-R-T. Art is not an elite movement, it's not just Van Gogh. It's everywhere around us, if we just pay a little more attention.

So. To prevent my introductory post from sounding like a US college essay, I shall end



and wish all viewers happy observing from cloud deck. Be like the elephant. He is a good elephant who, while waiting for a taxi, observes and appreciates his surroundings. He is an exemplary role model
