EXPRESS ABSTRACTIONISM

The day i realised that i was one of them, i stopped doubting them! And the day i stopped doubting them, i started believing myself a tad bit more. And this belief then had only one way to go and that was UP, up towards a more stronger level. There was something i could fall back upon... something that was MY genre! Something i was usually better than the most around. EXPRESS ABSTRACTIONISM!

The dictionary meanings of ABSTRACT are-
a). thought of apart from concrete realities, specific objects, or actual instances,
b). expressing a quality or characteristic apart from any specific object or instance,
c). difficult to understand; abstruse,
d). an idea or term considered apart from some material basis or object.

Women, Men or basically, the People as a whole are divided into two classes - those who think conventionally, one... and two, those who think radically. Conventionally, you can say that its 3 am right now, radically, its sixty past two.


People ask, how do they do that. I mean, how do some people manage to think 'out-of-the-box' and do that almost before anyone could blink. Most of the interviews for both higher studies and jobs look for such out-of-the-box thinkers. Not that they don't take the others, but they certainly prefer the former ones. Its all about practising the practice of being an out-of-the-boxer. (The last statement has a very funny OTHER meaning too... READ AGAIN, if it hasn't struck you yet.)

Even RADICALISM has some RADICALISM attached to it. How? Just like YOU have some amounts of YOURSELF attached to YOURSELF, so does RADICALISM. Orange, the fruit, has some ORANGENESS to its ORANGENESS. Thinkers have some THOUGHTFULNESS to their THOUGHTFULNESS that makes them thougthful. Well, the bottom-line is, it is both easy and tough being unconventional.

Some are born freethinkers, some develop freethinkingness over the course of their unfreethinking lives. Belonging to the Avant-Garde takes a little bit of immoderacy. A renouncement of established beliefs and ways and starting anew, afresh. Beginning from the Level-Zero and zeroing in on a complete paradigm shift. Asking yourself, time and again, what are you doing to be uncommon in the common. How are you thinking differently from the general genre. And challenging yourself every moment to better your previous fanaticism.

Like i once said, TANG makes me TANGIBLE... thank goodness i don't like BANGS... that might make me BANGIBLE! Don't ask me what that means. And no, you don't have to be abtruse. Express Abstractionism is all about fast and quick out-of-the-boxness which should have a certain basis for its development and not just for the #eck of it. (where #=h)

Try looking at things differently. Think over the prospects from a different perspective. Make it a way of life. You might have the gift of thinking, or the gift of spontaneity, you might not have either of them, or maybe you might have both of them. If you have both of them, then you should not be reading this. This post isn't for you. The others, will have to develop the art. And it can only be done by doing it. Doing things in a manner which others won't be able to do might strike gold.

But being a non-confirmist doesn't mean that every established tradition needs to be challenged without giving a thought. All it means is doing things in a way which is different and BETTER than the earlier one. Bettering is very important. Michael Jackson once sang, Heal the world, make it a better place; for you and for me and the entire human race. So, lets do it for him (sniff... sniff), lets do it for the KING OF POP, Michael Uncle. (sniff... sniff)

And besides, being an individualist might even help you come up with some of these social-service-blog posts. A wiseman once said 'Being Abstract means being ABSolutely TRACTive'. (guess who the wiseman was... err... wiseman is. ME-ME-ME!)

Yeah, abstraction involves more careful thinking than non-abstraction. The logic is very, very imposingly unclear and profound. As far as you've got all that you're the next best thing (to being abstract).

Therefore, from this weird discussion, we learn that continuous Abstract Expressionism leads to EXPRESS ABSTRACTIONISM!
(You could read that in one go? Amazing!)

P.S. - Just in case you did not notice, i did not use any slangs in the post, which i even generally do not use in my posts and also, i did use as many as 10 variants of the word Abstract in the above discussion. Now this, for one, is a very ABSTRACT post.
