Reason number 5,026 why I don’t “get” art. This Lucian Freud masterpiece just sold for $33.6 million dollars. I personally think it looks like a giant version of the fat girl pictures me and my friends used to send each other labeled as “hot porn” in junior high - and then later in life, what some guys I know loved to change the wallpaper on others computer too… And by looks like, I of course mean its so identical that it’s the entire reason I watched the video to begin with. I personally would rather buy a $36M penthouse in NYC or Chi-town and have my art be my ceiling to floor windows. That’s just me though.

I find humor in what people hold Holiest. Race, religion, music, sex, politics, and sports are what interest me, and also what I like to discuss and make light of the most. Sensitivity is the wild card of comedy. I believe the biggest laughs come from the humorous acknowledgment, and subsequent release of uncomfortable tension.
My hobbies include taking stock options, being thanked after sex, and having my asshole friends write quotes saying what my hobbies include.
I am not trying to be crass, this is simply who I am. If you get insulted, you probably missed the point.
