Meaningless Things

on my explaining that my unproductive weekend was depressing and that since i produced nothing noteworthy i had no reason to blog, dave remarked

"so yuh only showin good things.. the little frou frou parts and none of the bad things? in other words, being dishonest?"

and was right. so here we are.

the production of things that had no meaning lead to questions:

if a thing is created wihout meaning / for no specific purpose, can it be valuable?
if yes, how?? if no, why?
meaning = value?
how important is imagination? i.e something that is wonderful that is imagined that has no place in the real world.

the questions led to an idea. an event. details of which i'll have to keep in order for it to work the way it should but on sunday night in a maxi the shittiness of the weekend worked in my favor and showed me how to solve the problem.

the weekend's meaningless work?

a map of a place that is not real and won't be real containing instruments and devices that are just as imaginary:

and a set of faces and numbers from the newspaper that are of no consequence to anything:
