People and Art

My thoughts are kind of all over the place right now, and I'm trying to decide what of it I want to write down and what is better off left alone. We will see as I start writing.
First off, I spent a good portion of time with friends this weekend, at a couple houses and what not. People start heading out for college now, so it was the last time I would see some of those people for a while.
One of the places I went for a few minutes(literally) was Ambers house for a bonfire. I was there for only a few minutes for several reasons.1. I had something else to do that was more my style, and 2. I really didn't know that many people. Let me explain the second point, obviously I knew like Bryan and Amber and Natalie, and obviously all of those people are cool, but I wasn't talking to any of them very much. But you're like, Aaron, or more likely, Ron, why not just meet some people that you don't know. If this was last year, I may try to meet a few people, but when I am about to leave for college, why bother meeting someone that a.will be heading to a different college and that b.I will probably never see again. I don't see the point in wasting both my time and their time. Unless a stranger is going to the same college or maybe somewhere near me, I really don't care what college they are going to or what their major is. However, that seems to be the number 1 conversation starter nowadays. That may sound pessimistic, or you may just not like my point of view, but I would rather chill with good friends in my last week than people I've never met.
I went to New Vintage this week instead of Bethel, since I wanted to see those peoples before I left. I did enjoy seeing them and will definitely miss that youth group this year, they're good folks...
I was talking to Victor today about how people make comments about art being dead. He brought it up I believe, but the main point of the conversation was this: Yeah their are a lot of uncreative artists right now that aren't doing original stuff, but those type of people have always been around, people just don't remember them after a while. Art isn't dead, or even close to it, I just think awareness of different aspects of art come up in every generation. For example, take rock music in the late 70s and 80s, where a lot of bands would just bust a guitar solo every song til the point where a lot of them just started sounding manufactured. Today, Rock music has too few solos, in my opinion, and the common themes are the gravely voice and verse-chorus-verse-chorus-bridge-chorus-chorus. Again those are just my opinions, you can disagree if you want.
That's all for tonight, and it came out alright if I do say so myself.
