"Stop thinking about art works as objects, and start thinking about them as triggers for experiences. (Roy Ascott’s phrase.) That solves a lot of problems: we don’t have to argue whether photographs are art, or whether performances are art, or whether Carl Andre’s bricks or Andrew Serranos’s piss or Little Richard’s ‘Long Tall Sally’ are art, because we say, ‘Art is something that happens, a process, not a quality, and all sorts of things can make it happen.’ … [W]hat makes a work of art ‘good’ for you is not something that is already ‘inside’ it, but something that happens inside you — so the value of the work lies in the degree to which it can help you have the kind of experience that you call art."
Brian Eno (via jessiethatcher)
I could reblog/post this every day as a constant reminder.

A glimpse into the wonderfulness that is my co-SL
Part of me doesn’t want to share this. I like to keep things like this to myself. But I need to in order to remind myself that I can be a teacher and that I have people who will support me. I may or may not have frantically emailed Sam, but to be honest, I really do miss seeing and talking to him. He’s great, eloquent, and I feel like he knows me better than I think he does. So here it is, for the wold to see, and to serve as a reminder to me and all the other unemployed teachers out there to keep your chin up.
You’re in a tough position, it’s true. The future is intimidating, its weapon of choice uncertainty. Rumination is productive, but one must be strong-spirited and cautious enough to channel such reflection towards a positive end, skirting the ever-tempting realm of moping, melancholy, and self-deprecation. I’m proud of you for this Christine, and I hope you can be proud of yourself. More often than not, teachers resemble this troglodyte (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3bYv2AKPZOk) more than the patient, brave, and attentive mentors they should aspire to be. Find solace in the knowledge that you’re character is true to the role model of many.

Somebody need me too much. Somebody know me too well. Somebody pull me up short, and put me through hell. And give me support for being a love. Make me alive.

I am more or less in love with this song.
You can be my best friend. I can be your right arm. We’ll go through a fight or two, no harm.
I’m ready. Someone, come.
