@user-pg7uj4bp4q 3 года назад

the more i read it though. like something Becket would write. it pokes fun at the poetic contrivance of attributing colors to our emotions by using a deconstructed simile to emphasize the superficial. just as we might paint a wall blue regardless of the wall's inherent qualities, so too do we paint our poems with overwrought literary devices that ultimately stultify emotion, which naturally eschews the order poems impose it. "Blue as blue paint" suggests the paradox of using a written form to express the ineffable.

These are TRUE African parents, tho! I'm a child of Ghanaian and Cameroonian immigrants. I studied Journalism, not pre-med, engineering, or law. Love SNL for creating this sketch. UPDATE: I shared this skit with my W. African parents on Sunday -- my mom was laughing with tears in her eyes! Then she shared it with her friends! She said she saw herself in the skit. Even funnier? My brother's name is David and he changed majors in college.

@@tatnat1287 Yeah. I'm near an art school and there seem to be some kids that turn out that way. Have 2 roommates who are 20+ who are still in art school and still having to be supported by parents. The issue really is art college is so DAMN expensive. Unless you're able to make something of your degree (which a lot of them do too by taking on jobs as graphic designers or clothing/furniture design etc.), it's tough to make it out in the art world. The competition is fierce and you have to be very talented and ingenious.
