"Artcasm"
Some artists draw, some paint, others, like myself create Digital Art. However, there is one kind of artist that goes unnoticed, and doesn't get the recognition he deserves. Here's a hint as to what kind of artist I'm actually referring to.
"You need a haircut."
"We don't actually NEED anything except for food, air and water, so why don't we all go live in caves and spear large animals for food every day?"
The art of sarcasm has it's roots in many societies both now and in historical times before Christ. Actually, I just made that up, not true at all, I was being sarcastic. Who knows when sarcasm actually began? Even more so, who cares? Without sarcasm in all of it's wonderful forms, our society would not be what it is today.
1. We would have more fighting, for instance, instead of just jumping on someone and beating them into oblivion, we use sarcasm instead to express our anger to them.
2. Politicians would not be politicians.
3. Less laughing would occur.
Don't believe me? Go one full day without sarcasm. If you think you could, then I'd call you a different type of artist. (See right)

Are you impressed?
Have you ever changed yourself to impress another? I like to think I haven't, but actually, we all have. I'm currently sitting in St. John's University in Jamaica, New York. I glanced over my shoulder at the computer next to mine, at which there is a master student (she refers to herself this way in terms of being at St.John's for six years) writing a paper. The word "efficacious" came up about 3 times. When was the last time you used the word efficacious, without having to impress someone?
In terms of "impressing others" we tend to get out of our normal personalities and slip into a different person. Whether it be impressing the opposite sex, professors/teachers, bosses, or parents, the fact is that everyone does it. Out of pure curiosity, I decided to get a second opinion on this concept.
[Writer:Q.A.Headen,Jr.] What is the deep need for one to impress another? This can be due to the inadequatecies that one can find within themselves. An individual may not like their lives, their jobs, their homes, so they tend to imbelish the truth to seem better.
I feel as though it's not usually necessary to impress others in terms of opposite sex, or professors/teachers or authority. If you were to let yourself be YOU, they may like YOU better than what you are trying to be. I'm not trying to give any motivational speech or anything of the sort. More or less just trying to understand the actual art of "impressing others".
