Surrounded by Cuckoos, but I was the crazy one

I've never really felt I've been surrounded by cuckoos, or really that anyone is really any more crazy than any other. Everyone functions differently in some way, so to say some certain way is crazier than any other lacks basis in anything very substantive. Craziness is in the eye of the beholder.

There's an artist named David Firth who has created videos which I think are particularly deranged in an intriguing kind of way. For some reason the disturbed nature present in all of his works is oddly calming or pleasant. He's probably most known for the video series Salad Fingers, but that's really just the tip of the iceberg. I first discovered him when I was much younger, and while a few of his videos were somewhat terrifying for me, I didn't want to stop watching. I just recently re-watched a few of the videos in question and had nearly the same reaction.

If my situation is as the title of this blog implies, I suppose I should feel privileged to be the only crazy one among the cuckoos as craziness can be enjoyable.

  1. Being cuckoo CAN be enjoyable! Well as long as we don't go too extreme here like I sometimes do, haha.
