Let me tell you about my day messing around with the whole Joan of Arc symbol thing. It was kind of a random deep dive, but pretty interesting nonetheless. So, I started off just poking around, seeing what the general vibe was about Joan of Arc. Turns out, she’s way more than just some historical figure. People see her as this huge symbol of courage and bravery. Makes sense, right? I mean, the girl led armies when she was just a teenager! I can barely lead myself to the fridge…

So, I was trying to figure out this whole Salvador Dalí thing. You know, the guy with the melting clocks and all that weird stuff. First, I started by looking up books about him. Just wanted to get a general idea of who this dude was. I stumbled upon this site, Goodreads, and saw that he’s got, like, 347 books listed. Can you believe that? 347! And they’ve got tons of ratings, too. People seem to dig his book “Diary of a Genius.” Then, I wanted to buy some of…

Alright, let’s talk about what I did today with “c茅zanne landscape”. So, I was digging around for some info online and stumbled upon this profile, @2blandscape, which is run by someone named Barbora Brabcov. It seems like a second account linked to another one called @chilchilllchil. Barbora’s got around 42 followers and is following 130 people, with 77 posts up there. Then, I found out about 2B Landscape Consultancy Ltd. Apparently, they’re a big deal in the landscape architecture scene, registered and all that. They’ve been around since 1998, based…

Okay, so, Cape Town, right? I’ve always wanted to go there, and this time I finally made it happen. I started by digging up some random facts about the city, just to get a feel for the place before I even set foot there. Getting Started First things first, I needed to get there. It’s a long haul, but hey, that’s part of the adventure. I booked a flight and managed to find a cozy little spot to stay, nothing fancy, but it did the job. Once I landed, I…

Okay, so today I want to talk about this crazy art performance I tried to recreate, called “Rhythm 0” by Marina Abramović. You might have heard of it, it’s pretty infamous. The basic idea is that she stood still for six hours and let the audience do whatever they wanted to her using 72 objects she provided. I wanted to see if I could do something similar, to see how people would react and what it would feel like to be so completely vulnerable. I know, sounds wild, right? But…

Okay, here is my sharing about armor chain: So, I’ve been seeing this whole armor chain thing pop up, and it got me thinking, you know? I saw someone asking about the best places to snag some chain mail – hauberks, mittens, the whole nine yards. And I get it, it all comes down to what you’ve got in your wallet and what you’re gonna do with it. One time, I had, like, 3700 gold in this game, and this sweet chain mail set was going for around 2K. I…

Alright, so today I’m gonna talk about something that’s been bugging me for a while – this whole “Nietzsche versus Christianity” thing. I mean, you always hear about it, right? Nietzsche said, “God is dead,” and all that jazz. So, I decided to see what the big deal was. First, I just did a simple search. I typed in “Nietzsche Christianity” and bam! A ton of stuff popped up. But it was all so complicated. Words like “ontology” and “hermeneutics.” I just wanted the basics, you know? Nietzsche’s Big Idea…

So, the other day, I was digging into this whole Berlin Wall thing, right? I mean, I’ve heard about it, seen pictures, but I wanted to really get what the deal was, especially from a visual perspective. That’s when I decided to dive into some political cartoons from back in the day. I started by just looking around, seeing what I could find online about these cartoons. Turns out, these drawings were a big way to show the world what was up with that wall splitting East and West Germany….

Alright, so, let’s talk about this “controversial nude art” thing. It all started when I stumbled upon some article online about how nude figures are like, as old as art itself. I mean, I get it, the human body and all that, but I wanted to see what the fuss was about in today’s world. First thing I did was dive into some more reading. I found out that the word “nude” is supposed to be different from being just plain “naked.” Like, one’s supposed to be all artistic and…

So, the other day I was cleaning up my old bookshelf and found this book called Ways of Seeing by John Berger. I remember buying it years ago, and I thought, “Why not give it a read now?” And wow, it really messed with my head, in a good way! I started reading it on a lazy Sunday afternoon. I’m not gonna lie, it wasn’t like flipping through a comic book. I actually had to think while I was reading it. I was reading it very carefully, word by word….
