Jaded? (somewhat) [Olympics & Art]
Mood:  not sure
Now Playing: Olympics on tv in the background.
Topic: wondering where I stand
yes, I feel this way somewhat with regard to the two things I mentioned above in the title

I posted about my "jaded-ness" in art over in the CAA's forums a bit earlier this night.

-of course, I'm probably wrong in regards to the way that I am evaluating things- actually, I'm rambling...

Anyway, what I originally wished to post about in my blog for this entry is this: I'm getting tired of the Olympics.

...

I know that these are beautiful events, and that they are great to watch- but I'm the kind of person who can identify when things are set up in a formula-like way, and after a while when I see these things, I don't like them as much as I did intially.

-I'm beginning to see during the broadcasts of the Olympic games (as I watch in America):
excited commentators who were former athletes
judges making many weird decisions with regards to rules and scoring
dramatic/melodramatic use of music throughout the footage of the athletes' performances

and...
overplaying of the National Anthem

-Don't get me wrong, I DO appreicate everyone's efforts with regards to this, and I am fully aware of how beautiful and wonderful the Olympics really are- but I'm tired.

...
meh, I don't think that I stated this too well tonight- I'll return to this subject in the future (if I can).
