tape two french fries together make one bigger fry

twice as much

tape two french fries together them them big fry

buy tape

buy french fries

must be more than one

tape two fry make one

people say the tape doesn't stick to the fry

an invitation to smash the fries together into a mass of potato

just like entropy

it releases heat

here's some things that I think would be cool if my generation started doing

 more pack formation. like the way previous generations centered around the idea of the nuclear family, I think it would be really cool if we focused more on wolf packs. packing up.

estimating wrong. I always thought it was really dumb and kind of insulting that every few years in school we had to learn how rounding and estimating works. Like "if you wanted to round up 256 to the nearest ten, what would it be?" That's stupid. Just tell the person 256. Or you could also say 250. It doesn't matter. I never liked it and I still don't. 

get really into sequins. just seems like a market we could really take over if we wanted to. "THESE ARE FOR US NOT FOR YOU!"

destroying things we don't like. we should just destroy things. like buildings or whatever. And I know that's a crime and bad but no one ever considers the violence and destruction that went into making all the terrible buildings that no one likes. Destroying forests and wildlife is a violence that's regulated and deemed permissible but it's still awful and destructive. Right? 

In every house there should be a puke calendar and whenever anyone pukes in the house you mark it on the calendar and it lives in the basement with the circuit breakers and whatever and when you move you don't bring it with you it just stays there.

in every town there should be a bad guy who is always causing trouble and if you want you can try to catch them and if you do they throw a parade for you and the bad guy has to stay home for one week until they can be a bad guy again

that's all I got for now. I think these ideas are really good and everyone within like 5 to 10 years of my age should start living by these rules and I think it will really...I think it would mean just as much as if you did anything else but, despite that, things must still exist anyway.

point of art

 ask people what the point of art is and you'll probably get a bunch of nimbly pimbly answers like

I don't know

and

art doesn't have a point

and

to affect people emotionally in some way

or 

communicate ideas through a medium

or something like that which I think is lame. The point of art that I like the best is to give you permission. Art succeeds when it gives someone else permission to make the art or do the thing they have been wanting to do.

Art is a hammer not a ravioli. That's what I'm trying to say. 

You can eat a ravioli yum yum and that's fine but that's not what art is. What do you do with a hammer?

You pick it up and drive sharpened steel into planks of lumber.

You wouldn't just look at a hammer, a mighty sledge, and go, "wow gosh em gee that sure is nice."

And I'm not trying to say that art has to be practical in any way. Regardless of practicality or purpose, art should flip some switch inside you that makes you want to do a thing you maybe didn't even know you wanted to do. Art can reveal the nails you've been meaning to pound and give you the tool to do it.

I'm also not saying it's a perfect 1 to 1 relationship. Like if you see a painting you like and now you want to make paintings like that. It can be. But it could also be a song that gives you permission to think and act a certain way. Or a sculpture whose process inspires your own process. 

The process of making something is "doing something" and so it doesn't make sense to me why the appropriate response should be "receiving". Doing begets doing.
