Yes, I prefer the Hefty ones, anyway. The ones that come in black, with drawstrings.





















I'm sorry, I couldn't resist xD



I know, right? I have all of these old VHS tapes, and since I have no player (old one broke) I’ll never be able to play them again! D :



I wonder what truly makes art valuable, and how can one measure such value? Why is it that a painting that consists entirely of paint splattered on canvas, with no rhyme or reason, hangs in a museum with a weighty price tag, while painstakingly detailed art gets left out?

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">If the value of art is not determined by skill, is it the emotion that it insights within its audience that measures its worth? If a piece moves a thousand people, does that make it more precious then a piece that moves 10 people?

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">And, as you said, what is it about older pieces being seen as so precious? Is it because they are irreplaceable, easily destroyed remnants of an artist long gone? Do people like Poe’s works more now, because they know they’ll never get any more? (You don’t know what you have until it’s gone)

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Same question goes for music, movies, and even video games. Why are some more valued then others? My opinions on this subject are a little scrambled:

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Personally, I think that their value is subjective. If you, the viewer, enjoy the work of art, then it is valuable to you. Let’s say a kid scribbles on paper with crayons and pastes that picture to my refrigerator; I’ll value that thing more than the Mona Lisa, and I wouldn’t sell it for anything. What do you think?
