Ah, such joys...
Journal Entry: Thu May 10, 2007, 11:17 AM
If I take a picture of my home as my creation, how does it come close to capturing the joy and comfort that is felt by being "at home."
The concept of home is a nebulous one at best, with everyone's varied experience, memory, and emotion crafting to each their own image of what home is. Do you feel at home by yourself, with your family, with your friends/extended family... what about being at home in your own skin?
My home is whatever gives me that level of comfort and emotional relaxation to just be, no need for anything else at that moment. Classified by location it generally occurs in one of the abodes of my family/close friends (hopefully my own abode will soon qualify as well) and can generally be associated with smells as well. Not necessarily the American idiom of "warm apple pie" but baking goods do lend a hand towards hominess, cooking in general brings good smells (burning=no good), and fresh laundry too. Pine is a good smell as well, though that probably reveals my penchant for the NW US.
That's all for now, time for me to get back to work. Hopefully I can visit dA more now, so feel free to comment and I will reply.
- Listening to: a lot of different stuff, mostly electronica
- Reading: Concrete Countertop Design
- Watching: uh, the computer screen?
- Eating: Hmm, that sounds like a good idea
- Drinking: Oh, if only I could have a Guinness right now

You'll have to forgive my brevity, there's only so much I can type in a day!
But sure, emotions can be explained in a binary nature. You're trying to subject 'middlegrounds' (binary to language(why? irrelevant!) to the universe, sure both language and the universe are expressable as binary, but expressing the universe as language... I don't think would be 100% accurate, for the sake of defintions... math would be a large part of it, which is independent of language, it's universal

Wait a second...you're MESSIN' with me!!! *insert raucous cackle here*
You stated that language is incapable of accurately expressing emotion...then you wind your way down to the assertion that everything has a logical and quantifiable nature...therefore is expressible in binary. *hmmm* Methinks, methinks you mean to make a jest of both myself and logic...PAH!
I try'n not limit myself to merely what my senses tell me, or the commonly accepted "laws" of nature (we keep revising them after further input, more inspection, analysis and debate). We state of so loftily that the universe is quantifiable...and we base our body of knowledge on that and many other "facts"...but my general take is similar to your comment about language and senses...if we limit ourselves to the known then we cut out an awful lot of "could be's" and we're lost. Plus, I have serious doubts about the abilities of any single person to amass such a body of knowledge as to truly be a "know it all"...in any case they'd be more of an ass then either of us and I vote for burning them at the stake *evil grin* call me a heretic, or something like that. And oh...how I amuse myself!
Now, I've stated my general approach to the matter, you've stated yours...I dunna think either of us is going to be so rude as to try to force a square peg into a round hole (*grins* so to speak)...sooooo...hmmm...quite a quandary we have here.
What to do what to do...?
Ooooo...something SHINY! *TAG* You're it! *runs away laughing*

Possibility is limited. Think of inheritance. A quantifiable universe cannot give rise to unlimited possibilities. But only equal or less than. This is a concept of conservation, a law we know to be true. Ripples only spread to the edges, before they bounce back, or they usually fade to nothing long before they arrive... and even if not, they'll do it afterwards. Entropy is another law.

*nods* No prob, weapons can take on a beauty of their own when in the "right" hands. Beautiful people handling them, a good photographer capturing the "moment" and there's lovely art made. Art created, made from an object meant for destruction. Nicely symbolic, sorta yin-yang if you will.
Fun to watch, glad I could provide feedback that was helpful (I aim not to annoy too much, but its fun to share ideas), and I look forward to seeing your future creations.

Proving you're funny or that I'm easily amused...?
In any case, you've just "proven" that I can never get to where you are, so we're destined never to meet and are lost in the endless arithmetic of space...or is it space of arithmetic? *grins*
The assertion that all ideas can be expressed in binary is merely that, an assertion...this implies the idea that all ideas are quantifiable and other commentary that you've made has already given rise to the idea that words, language in general, is fallible. So, we commonly express ideas using language (if we go the route that all ideas can be reduced to arithmetic, see above referenced problem of getting anywhere) and yet language is fallible, therefore incapable of perfectly representing ideas...language goes into binary but can't take the idea with it. Binary fails, falls *kerr-plop* into an infinite pool of possibility, and all is well as the ripples spread.
...and if I could, I would say "I am / hear me roar!" and then collapse in yet another fit of laughter.
Sleep well when you get there!

To get from point A to point B first you MUST travel HALF the distance. Thus (b-a)/2, and then half more, (b-a)/4, exponentially. So you never get to the point because you MUST *cough*infinitely*cough* keep going half the distance.
Don't even start thinking when I'm around or you may never stop!

USED MY STOCK? PLEASE SEE MY JOURNAL HERE [link] AND SEND ME LARGE VERSIONS FOR MY ARCHIVES PLZ!!!
Please don't speak... it would spoil the illusion I have that makes you intelligent... -.-
Mostly doin' the happy dance 'cause Rent has reached folks even in the homophobic state of Tejas...YAY! (not generalizing you dearie, just the temperature-excessive state you happen to be located in...*shrug*)
"There's only us, there's only this..."
TTFN, and keep havin' fun, eh?"

I look forward to seeing it, ought to be something a bit different. Something on the opposite end of the spectrum from your usual work would be to try'n get a Maori-type dancer in your studio, it'd be fun to see what you do with that.
Keep up the good work, eh?
