'Why' and 'How' are More Important than 'What'

Disclaimer: I apologize if this post seems to be a bit off the blog topic.  I'm a big believer in the philosophy that nothing is simple, and in order to understand how something works, you often need to break it down into much more basic parts.  As such, this particular post may not be your cup of tea.  I've attempted to bring it more in line with the actual topic by jumping back into the original discussion of art, although I know there are likely to be several people reading this who disagree with me when I say that art is purely communicative.  And that's fine; I'm not here to debate on that.

There is something rather presumptuous about keeping a blog on communication concepts as a college sophomore while in the act of taking a communications course.  There is something equally presumptuous about using meta references and self degradation under the assumption that acknowledging hubris excuses it.  Look, I did it again!  We can keep this up all day long.
