I would like to use the opportunity of thanking you for the professional direction I have always enjoyed checking out your site. I will be looking forward to the commencement of my university research and the complete prep would never have been complete without visiting this site. If I can be of any help to others, I’d be happy to help by what I have discovered from here.

Enjoying Beluga Caviar

Flora Rouse — Thu, 01 Dec 2011 11:25:15 -0600

I think that whatever one enjoys, one enjoys because it gives you a good feeling, it calms you, doesn't upset you and it turns your mind off, and excludes the outside world. To explain why exactly you enjoy certain things is impossible, it's just an automatic reaction you get from certain things, and everyone's emotions are triggered by different things. For example I enjoy music and food, and I think I can explain what makes me enjoy my favorite food, beluga caviar, but I don't know why I enjoy those things. I love the way they burst in my mouth, and I like the taste of it, but why I do, I don't know, because there are people I know who hate it for the exact same reasons. I guess it has something to do with previous experiences and feelings we assigned to those memories. After a while the memory fades, but the feelings and connections stay imprinted in our brain. But I wouldn't bet on this explanation.

I have been reading your entries during my morning break, and I must admit the entire article has been very enlightening and rather well written. I assumed I might mean you can realize that for a few reason this weblog does now not view well in Internet Explorer 8. I desire Microsoft might prevent changing their software. I’ve a question for you. Would you mind changing weblog roll hyperlinks? That may be really neat!

What do you enjoy?

elliot — Sat, 16 Feb 2008 18:01:12 -0600

How do you decide what you enjoy? What does "enjoy" mean, anyway?

Which leads me to the related questions: Why do we engage with art? What do we get out of it?

I am quite obsessed with this as an issue. I spend a huge amount of time and money on music. I love music. I can talk about my favourite bands all day. But my engagement with it is shallow, in terms of how well I can talk about it: I don't understand music in a technical way, even though I think it engages me both intellectually and emotionally. What am I getting out of it?

(I love dancing, by the way. You might not think that. I rarely go to clubs. But I absolutely love dancing. I used to go to loads of club nights at university and just immerse myself in the music, especially the beats and basslines. Now it's restricted to the kitchen while I'm washing up. I don't really like dancing at weddings or parties, mind.)

And recently I've got back into reading science fiction books. I love science fiction, too. Again, though, my engagement is shallow: I know about its history, general themes, I can recognise writers and styles, but I don't theorise deeply about its deeper meanings. I'm happy to just chat about it. (Though I did write a dissertation on JG Ballard and William Burroughs once.)

On the non-art side, I enjoy gardening a lot. I can lose myself when I'm out in the garden, pruning, weeding, sowing, just looking and smelling and hearing the garden around me. I think that is one of my purest enjoyments; I particularly enjoy it because I don't feel I have to intellectualise it. Maybe that's my problem with engaging with art, I think too much about it. Isn't that the point?

I've excluded familial relationships and friendships from this monologue: I don't so much enjoy these, as experience joy (and pain) because of them. Is this the same as enjoyment?

I've also excluded computers. As I work with them all the time, I have a love/hate relationship with them. I can't make a blanket statement that I enjoy programming. Often I don't. Sometimes I find it intensely frustrating and limiting. Other times I find it mind numbing. Then other times I get so engrossed that hours pass without me moving to eat or go to the toilet. It's one of those things.

I suppose what I'm getting at is: I don't feel I have a deep love for any hobby or pastime. Perhaps rather than "love" I should say I don't feel consumed by anything, or driven, or ambitious, or even that passionate. Should I be? Does it matter if I'm not? Is it just the time of year? Maybe I watch people on TV culture shows too much and think I should be able to intelligently discuss my experience of the world, the same way the participants on those programmes do. Perhaps I should just relax.

What do you enjoy, by the way?

(Now I've written all this, I'm not even sure why I did it. Perhaps it's because I've spent the whole day listening to Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, a band I love and have done for 20 odd years. It made me wonder what it is about music that I like so much. And why I place so much importance on a person's music taste as a measure of their personality. I probably shouldn't, but I do.)
