Being vague.

People tend to take offense when being Vague. I'm attempting to understand why this is. People have a need to take things seriously, probably because vagueness is a lack of conviction. Vagueness is not having much to say but saying something any way, so its a step up on nothingness. It could also be viewed as the excess of saying nothing. The last point seems to mirror most Relationships, i mean this in all its connotations. The way to avoid vagueness is to write something and over time pad it out with Meaning, this is the same with life, you pad it out over the course of it. This will move a thing away from vagueness but its sort of dishonest, but you can't argue with progress either. That is If you consider a move away from vagueness to be progress. 

I like the device of being vague and will always opt for it over ambiguity. Art dislikes vagueness but will zealously promote ambiguity, because its easier psychologically and there is always the need to believe there is something beyond the superficial. 

Television likes vagueness, it allows viewers to passively participate. It lets you fill the gaps by allowing for gaps, leeway. Its a sort of guided freedom where the amusement is as much in your head as it is the show (some art does this).   

 





   

Seinfeld, indifference and irony

My understanding of why i like Seinfeld took a big step forward. All four of the characters have a hefty level of indifference towards most things, even Elaine (what a woman). Because of this the show overwhelms with an excess of irony. Their indifference implements many of the key ironic moments, they appear to constantly test of the boundaries of convention within everyday life.

This feels very much like a situation i could have instigated. 

   

Indifference is Ironic.

This statement I found hard to comprehend for some time. I'll start with Art. Art is like the handicapped child of the world, people work with it and hope that it will come to fruition at some point but all are unsure how so. Art in the past has had a purpose, the works with religious and biblical references were used to aid the church in altering its subjects perceptions. Portraiture was used for posterity and to demonstrate ones importance. The paintings of Claude Monet are beautiful which is enough reason for me.

Today the art forum tries to convince (itself mostly) that it is a powerful force, bringing about social improvement. Art can only every be used as supplement for altering models of thinking (in general) and this is where it stops. As it is people thoughts, actions and words thats really change things. Art will always be confined to a supplementary position.

Indifference is ironic because indifference is recognizably a greater investment into something. Its the choice of maintaining a distance towards a thing because one does not fully agree, or doesn't like the appearance of been in unconsidered agreement. But really it is just a slightly altered take on the same situation and thats what really makes it ironic, its a redefining of the same situation. Indifference is really just slight difference.

I came across this funny spread of Arnett in GQ Magazine, publicizing his due to come out TV series. I think the world is ripe for likes of me.   

I love Will Arnett

Will Arnett, currently has to be one of my favorite people. The perfect idiot, he truly is brilliant. He played one of key characters or Arrested Development, Perhaps the single best loose sitcom since Seinfeld.
A show that has become a thing in itself and could taint the reception of his show, Running Wilde. 
The name I am not so convinced of. But I'm personally glad a man as inherently funny as Will Arnett has been provided with a platform, affording him to stay present within the industry, in a big way.
