I uses to envy thoses who could paint and draw out their ideas with color , but then remember that with my details I can paint with words and words can drip deeper into the soul then a drop of paint could to thoses who are blind . - Devon Day

WOOT

So ill be with Brian ALLLL week , i just need gram to do some laundry ( she doesnt trust me with her washing machine ) Though i did read on the hotel website that they have a place to do laundry in the hotel so i should only need her to wash some of my clothes. Anyhoo , brian is thinking about starting his trip tonight and get a head start , It would be amazing for him to get hear earlier then 6 pm BUT i want him to get some sleep though .

I need to work on my book

Random thought/Rant



Okay thought that is buzzing in my head this morning is


what if when someone is born they get a message from fate stating the day they die ...and NOTHING they can do can change that fact.Would it make the world a better place? or would it make the rant of tired and failed suicide go up? Though i do say it would make planing things a little bit more interesting .
..
" Oh, you wanna get lunch on Nov 30Th? oh sorry i can do that day, that is the fate day of death what about the 29?"

Just a thought to think about , if you knew the day you were going to die would it make you rethink how you live your life or would you not give a shit? Or would it make how think about death differently because in today's world we see death and dying as a negative , Well in ancient Egypt death as seen as the most amazing journey, we wouldn't have much control in our death so we may try and get as much control in life we could get...

humans



I have a headache ...it sucks , I had way to much sunlight today ... Anyhow I went to some fair like thing with my parents to see fireworks but my lovely dad read the sigh wrong and the fire works are tomorrow night ... but oh well ,who cares, I got out of the house for a few hours which is all I care about . I am about to submit some of my poetry into that magazine I'm just waiting for Brian to send me the copy he edited for me so its perfect , oh where would i be with out that boy? in 1 hour and 15 Min's it will be 1 day until i get to see my Brian"

The reason why im sending out my poetry is because its the easiest thing for me to get out there and because its what i have the most of. That way if my poetry gets out in the world of the writers and artist then ill already be known by the time my book is ready to be sent in so people who be like who the fuck is this girl?

ohh yeah Devon day, that poet from standish maine... okay " and then go from there.
I would like to be known in the world as a writer and artist but i dont think of fame like most people do ,

Fame to me is :
" Doing what you love and sharing it with the world "
Not making tons of money and spending it crazy like while everyone else has to work 40 hours week to just make rent .... Yeah we wont get into a fight about how the world is working now adays with anyone at this given time . Im too tired...

anyhoo I'll write more later

-Devon

[Insert witty title here]


Good afternoon everyone,
I finally did get some sleep really early this morning and was woke up early this afternoon by Brian telling me via text message some good Great news for this coming week because he is coming up from his home state in Ohio to come and visit me for a whole week!!!! The word excited isn't even the word for how I'm feeling right now. My afternoon seem okay , i went out into the living room after talking to Brian on the phone and it was until about 3 30 ish that shit hit the fan, Grandfather( that is how i address my grandfather when I talk about him ) started yelling at me because the side of my tummy was showing he was saying that I should know how to dress myself by now and that it was unneeded, now he could have just asked me nicely to pull down my shirt because I had not even noticed that my tummy/side was showing , I was sitting out there for over two hours and he didn't say shit to me about anything, but the moment my gram came home he started yelling at me, i believe it was because he knew that my gram, rather then defend me,she would agree with him so not to cause trouble with him and piss him off, see my gram make sure that he is happy before anyone else is happy including herself . Therefore I was wrong about how my clothes where, now i was wearing a pair of PJ pants that I made at school in a sewing class which are a few sizes to big for me and i didn't notice that the side of my tummy was showing or i would have pulled down my shirt, I pretty much told him to fuck him self which pissed gram off, but i honestly don't give to shit about that in all honestly . My grandparents seem to think that the only way to get me to listen is to scream at me and that if I were to be asked nicely i would have gotton pissed off, which isn't true, if they asked me kindly to do something i normally do it, but if they tell me with out asking and being polite i will do it when i feel like it , see i believe highly in respect and as the old saying states, if you want respect you need to earn it and only a few people have earn it,
  • Brian of course
  • Most of my teacher from school
  • My parents ( they made me and put up with me )
  • and my friends who put up with me and are there for me every second of my life and know me better then my family , it is sad honestly
That is just to name a few , my family honestly don't know me very well, not that i honestly give them the chances to get to know me because honestly I just don't fit in to their norm of living they think that i have to be perfect but being perfect is boring , it takes all the fun out of life , when my family ( mom , dad ,sister, aunt, cousins etc) come to visit i normally lock myself in my bedroom on my computer because normally they try and pride their way into my life and ask questions that they don't need to know about because its none of their business, NOW please don't get me wrong i love my family , they just happen to drive me crazy

okay now on to the writing part of this post I have decide to send in some of my work ( poetry ) i may have said something all ready but to clear up any questions on the matter I'm sending in my work to a "poetry magazine" they will allow up to Four poems as long as they don't go over ten pages I picked out four of best poems i think i have , they ask you to send them all into one document so reading is easier for them, it will sadly take up about 2 months to get back to me but its worth it i hope, oh did i mention that they pay up to 10 dollars a line for poetry they pick to be in their magazine ? of course their is a limit to 300 dollars but still money is money don't cha thing? I Think so ... i'm going to send in my work later this evening when Brian gets home because he promised he would edit my work for me to make sure its perfect so there isn't any confusion in what I'm trying to say .... Wish me luck, ill keep everyone in the loop of stuff as well for your viewing pleasure

FYI




Just so you know ... i may be a writing but I'm also into photography, mainly film photography but i am slowly getting into digital , at this moment in time, I'm working with a 1974 Pentax film camera that Brian got me for my birthday , he is my baby! I work a lot with out door photography but when taking pictures of humans i try and make it so they do notice I'm taking a photo of them its random and beautiful ... i do have some digital photography on my computer that if anyone wishes to view just send me a message or an email okay? thank you

god im lazy again ...

God I'm lazy

chapter two of my book is about 7 pages now...chapter one is almost 30 .... -sighs- i have a lot of work to do , i honestly think about my book more then i write it , i wish i had my brain wired up to a machine that when i think about stuff it turned it into text on my computer for me ...that would be nice , my book would be done now...yeah ... it would be amazing ... "note to self...invent that damn machine" what would i call it though mmhhm -thinks - .... - five minutes later ...mmhhm Yeah , i got nothing. If you think of anything... let me know okay? k cool

in the beginning ....


So as a writer I started with poetry I was VERY bad so very bad. It was very dark and only a few lines with time i did get better but yeah I was bad, Normally about death , when i got into high school i got alot better. I write about about the world and so far my theme as been writing about art and how it can change the world

My favorite artist/band/writer would be Otep and she stated that

" Our government has failed us, our leaders have failed us and religion has failed , art and music is all we have left . "

You will hear me talk about about otep, i look up to her alot <3>


boring day



Good evening everyone,

My day was very boring . . . I sat in my living room and did nothing it was ... boring . Though I did take my written part of my book and put all the pages in page protectors and then put the pages in a folder so nothing happens to them , that was fun... oh yes , I shall be adding to my book soon ... i hope ... im kinda lazy but ill put some stuff i wrote poetry wises

This is something i wrote when i had a problem with writers block
I can’t pick up my pen or fight the wars defect the gods and overcome the laws, or win this battle of the monster media or to let the energy flow To let the roots of creativity grow , I can’t pierces the soul with my words tonight, I can’t see the light to take on the world with this unbearable battle, I want to feel the tickles of the nerves crawling up my back as I pull these emotions out of my souls and let them exploded onto the paper with out control.

~Devon Day

ALL MY WORK IS COPY RIGHTED

boredom

Boredom ... There should be a clinic/hospital or something for it . Its 3:16 am here and I'm bored out of my mind , mainly because I'm not honestly tired. My dog and I are having a converstion in grrs because he is Grring in his sleep, is "grring" a word? mh i think it is. Anyways I really should be working my book but I'm being lazy. I'm sitting in my bed , in my bedroom, with a glass of milk and puddling . Exicting I know. Anyways I made up my mind in writing a blog because I was getting tired of just staring my work with one or two people, Mainly because I knew more people would enjoy it but I am going to be honest with you ; I am extremely over protective of my work and I can at times having separation issues with it and letting go problems when dealing with people reading it but once they read it and like my work I normally don't have a problem reading it and share it more often with them. Though I am picky about stuff, If you read my work I wanna get feed back when people just say "I like it" mhm yeah thats nice , what the hell do you like about it? . Doesn't tell me much here people. . . So even if you say you like my details that is at least telling me something, honestly I dont think that is too much to ask . is it? Yeah i didnt think so ... Moving on ..... mhm yeah i got nothing ....going to bed or I may just lay on my bed with my ipod listening to music until my brain finally turns off, yup that sounds, about right, good night.

This is how we start.....

Oh, where do I start? Well, I guess I'll by talking about myself my name is Devon I'm 19 years old , I am from and live in a shit hole called Standish,Maine. Nothing honestly happens here its a boring state over populated by trees. Yup. Trees .
I'm going to go to school for Art history and photography , Yes I'm a artist
and nerd and slight dork...okay yeah, there is nothing slight about it .I'm a dork and proud!!!!! . I live on the computer and my face is normally in the pages of a book. I can't spell and and my grammer sucks. Yes, normally all my work has to sent to my best friend brian who edits it . He is who keeps me going in my world of writing and all that great stuff. You will most likey hear about him alot more then anyone else in my life. Oh yes, writing . . . My hobbie and passion and talent all wrapped into one which is all in the power in my finger tips... i hope that makes sences ...it did in my head.
Anyhoo, I'm working on two books at the moment, one novel and one poetry book. -sighs- too much work and so little time , although I'm doing my best and I have brian , what would I do with out that boy? I tend to go all over the place in my novel , I wont say the title of my book just yet . As of now I have chapter one and chapter three done, Chapter two is being typed ( its in my hand writing on paper at this moment in time.) and I have chapter four started. chapter five has a plot and stuff ( ideas) written down . -sighs- Im hoping to be done my book or at least close to being done by new years because that is when the publishing place I would like to send into allows submission. Until then I have to stay focsed and alert . For a girl with ADD this could be a problem . . .
