When someone writes a research paper on some subject, it is more likely to get someone else  to read it, agree with it or even have the reader change his opinion is to use some experts’ opinions on the same subject in support to the writer’s. In this case, the writer gives himself a favor of experts “helping” him in constructing a persuasive paper. When I saw Honda commercial, I thought of how this commercial was anything else but the car commercial. Unlike any other car commercial this one had a higher quality in terms of presence of arts in it. It is impossible to underestimate arts, we respect it so much for its past and cherish it in present, and always give it a credit for whatever it will be in the future. In other words, arts are and always will be a lot more meaningful to the humanity than any “popular” arts like TV, Hip-Hop, or other modern day equivalent. Using arts in commercials, it is like having this special touch by the “expert” for which people will give credit for. Because of the new acquired high qualities of the arts in commercial, people would see a car advertisement in much more intriguing and responsive way. By using arts in Honda commercial, giant automobile company takes a credit for arts’ place in the word. I think it a quite clever way to distribute anything.

Today, on my way home, I allowed myself to get lost on campus. i just wanted to get lost, probably for the same reason why at times i leave my cell phone at home... to get away from people.
It's hard for me to get lost in the surroundings that I'm familiar with. I can easily find a direction that I have to get moving.  Well, having S<->N direction, I can always tell which way i have to go if I need to find my home or some other place i need to be.
I dont try to get lost often...only once or twice a year, and try to do it before the winter. Luckily for me, today all of the reasons led to my absence from a crowd.
I've never thought of what I'm looking for when "i'm gone". Probably I want to go to "no place" to look for something or nothing. Because of my morals, i dont drink or do drugs to get lost, but i need the same feeling. I need feeling of euphoria. It took me some time to finally understand why i do this...i need an "exhaust" for my negative energy.
So, today when I've tried to do the same routine...  I've failed!

     I've been thinking about circulation of matter... I've been trying to think critically of How nature's manifestations like mountains and oceans are the end points in this circle of infinite motion of matter, and How the end points change their relation to one another in time. But with a certain respect to each other, mountains and oceans have never tried to undermine one's importance or destroy.
     Even though it seems that there is never ending conflict between them, these two large Earth's creations always have worked collaboratively to make sure to sustain life by supplying construction materials to all living beings.
Since my first lessons of natural Sciences, my teachers of geography, geology, biology, environmental science and other related studies of Earth have always taught me that lithosphere (mountain ranges, and land) and hydrosphere (oceans,seas, lakes, and rivers) are the most powerful forces on Earth and actually are destroying each other. Thinking there for a moment, I have come up with more questions that I can answer. But the question that matters the most to me and may lead  in the right way of thinking (so, i am going to elaborate on it) is "Why is it that in the most tense regions of their struggle there is so my life?". Is this life a by product of never ending conflict?  Well, that is a strange war, isn't it? The war where things can be brought to life and not to be destroyed is not in our traditional interpretation of war, right? The way I see it is since the begging of time two elements have a long term partnership that brought  life and more importantly managed not only to sustain life for millions of years, but to expand it in the farthest and deepest "corners" of the planet. There always has been an immeasurable exchange of matter.
     I am not sure if it is possible to imagine ideal relationship in anything that we know. Under certain conditions one of the sides will try to dominate the other.

What space means to me.

I like big spaces...let me correct myself, I LOVE big space. I wouldn't feel small or abandoned in a large surrounding. In fact, it helps me to be creative and increases my activity. I think it's been this way as far as I can remember myself. I guess the way I'm used to is when I get out of my apartment I like to go someplace with large windows, tall ceiling, and walls so far apart from each other which could allow me to play football if I wanted to. For that particular reason, I enjoy being in the places like libraries, lobbies, hallways, studio art classes lecture rooms, airports, etc.
Although when I choose to rest, it is necessary for me to go back home to my small place, where I would feel comfortable enough sleeping in any part of my place regardless of how big it is (of course, I mean reasonable dimensions of space where I can stretch at least). Speaking of small spaces, I just recalled that back in the days of my childhood I used to like closets, and I would often used it for many occasions.
When I will buy my own house, I would make sure to have lots of living space and spacious closets in it.

The road to success.

Its been two weeks already since that day when Beth Cavener talked about her work, inspiration, and  life, but I'm still coming to think over and over again about what she had said about creating this one master piece. "It will take you to make twenty crappy pieces, forty mediocre, and probably the same forty good ones before that moment when you'll make one master piece." Commenting on this, I would say that there is a great amount of experience speaks for itself, and this experience has been built on making trials and errors, with a  lesson learned after each trial and error was made.
There is another side to this, and Beth mentioned it as well. She said, "With every piece made, you always think of it if that's the one." People see the final manifestation of art in each piece of their work. Only professional artists know the way to success. Keep on trying sounds  like a bitter truth, rule, and, at the same time a professional advice. I, personally, always see "the one" in every try, however, understanding that there is almost infinite number of tries lies ahead, I have to keep on changing, developing, sophisticating my work. There is always a room for experimentation and discoveries, and I'm not afraid to take my chances to try something else even when I think that I'm at the last stage to be done with my work.
