Something that happened todayOnly it isn't today any longer, it almost never is but the one time,Something that happened today6 months ago in Personal More Like This
but still it was today when it happened.
There's been no poetry poking about in my soul
these days but I've been circumspect about it
and counseled myself that like a bear in winter
it may not be dead but only growing cubs,
living off stored fat, and sleeping.
Today I was at the grain store buying feed
for my four horses. The man who loads the grain
out of the warehouse is leathery and lean as an old bean.
He's chatty and kind, and when I have dogs in the car
he gives them too many biscuits and has to wait to load
the grain bags till they finish.
So as I said, this vessel for the poetry she-bear (me)
was buying and he was loading and chatting and about the third
bag he asked me what kind of horses I had, and I told him,
and then he said to me that when he were a young man
there was a Morgan mare lived on the farm of a man he worked for,
and only he could load this mare onto a horse trailer when it was time
for her and

I'm going to SCADIn exactly one week I will be moving to the United States to attend the Savannah College of Art and Design (the Savannah campus). Moving out of my home country, leaving my family and friends here, is something that will probably take me a while to digest, but I will be doing it to pursue an artistic career, which will (hopefully) make up for it. And if for some reason I don't feel happy, I will just go back or try something else. But I do not think that will happen. Fortunately I know a couple of people who go there already. If any of you go there too, feel free to tell me, I'd love to meet you.I'm going to SCAD2 months ago in Personal More Like This

Cute Animals Using SmartphonesHere at Adorkably Deviant we are usually in the "cute" business of things. So since this is cool and funny and cute in so many ways, we just had to post it. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did.Cute Animals Using Smartphones1 year ago in Personal More Like This
And there were many books...So, I'm in the process of moving, and I've determined that if I were to stack all of my boxes of books, they would be four times my height. Not the books themselves, but boxes of ~40 books apiece.And there were many books...1 year ago in Personal More Like This
If I'm five boxes tall (about), that's twenty boxes times forty books is eight hundred books.
I've got probably another four boxes in storage - nine hundred and sixty.
Plus the shelves I haven't packed yet (probably another eight boxes, at least) - twelve hundred and eighty.
Plus the three hundred titles in my Kindle - fifteen hundred and eighty.
I think I may have a problem.
Clearly, I need to count my books more accurately.
The Photographer's Guide: Taking Quality PhotosI've wanted to write a guide for a while now.. But I wasn't sure what to write about. In my poll, this was the one you guys most wanted to see.. So here it is! If anyone has something to add, please note me!The Photographer's Guide: Taking Quality Photos1 year ago in Personal More Like This
It really bothers me when people ask about my camera because they like my pictures. My camera is just a tool, it's not magical. You don't even need a DSLR to be a photographer. Anyone can take a picture on any device, and it be considered art. It is how you do this that most effects your outcome. For example, a photographer I watch, *oO-Rein-Oo, frequently takes wonderful pictures with his iPhone.

So, for this guide, I'm going to be talking about the basics of how you go about producing a quality picture, both when you take the photo and afterwards.

People often get distracted with the complex settings on their camera. The best thing you can do for any situation yo
A Blessing And A CurseTomorrow is the first day of May, making it about 2 months since I've started photography.A Blessing And A Curse1 year ago in Personal More Like This
In this time, I've learned quite a bit. I think I'm starting to get in touch with myself a bit more... But my depression keeps getting in the way. It's almost as if I'm wary.. no, afraid to let myself out. Life has ingrained in me: Letting go = pain. I can't seem to get over it.
I've also started to see the world a bit different. It's both a blessing and a curse. Now I find myself looking out the window marveling at sunlight filtering through the leaves.. I notice the way the plants are growing and how they stretch twoards the sun, the unique way people walk and the color of women's eyes. It's also sometimes painful.. Driving around town noticing broken houses, fights in alley-ways, and children walking home alone.
But there is something to be said for this newfound vision. I feel more at home in the world.. I guess maybe I was just asleep before. It's made me want to travel somewhere love
QuotesTaken from one of my tennis coaches.Quotes1 year ago in Personal More Like This
"Winning is everything."
"It doesn't matter whether you win or lose - until you lose."
I don't know.
I found them amusing.
Oh, and in one of my classes I started questioning words. Since slang is all about connotations, does that mean the meanings are subjective and therefore do not exist? Or am I way in over my head and really have no clue what I'm talking about?

The Art of DystopiaSci-fi dystopia art is one of my favorite things on DA. The amount of detail is incredible, and you feel like you’re actually looking into a future world. It’s easy to get lost in these drawings. With the Killjoy comic coming out, I thought it would be fun to feature some of this incredible art. It might influence the way you imagine Battery City.The Art of Dystopia2 months ago in Personal More Like This

At first, I thought this was a charitable effort, with Blackberry as its corporate sponsor. Under that supposition, I disapproved, and expressed my disapproval, but very mildly. Now, watch me disapprove rather more forcefully (but still quite politely, because I'm repressed, that way):
The Keep Moving Project is NOT a charity, with Blackberry as its corporate sponsor. It's an advertising campaign for Blackberry, from which Neil Gaiman expects to make a small profit, which he will donate to an unspecified cause. So...problems:
1) Contributors don't know what they'd be contributing TO, beyond Blackberry's continued success. Does Neil Gaiman's idea of a worthy cause coincide with yours? Who knows? (There may be somewhere online where one might discover the intended beneficiary, but I couldn't find it
Something you should read about suicideThough I think suicide is not a big deal and I honestly don't give a shit about it, since it's just one way to die, I felt the need to copypaste an old thread from 4chan that I totally agree with. I think this might help.Something you should read about suicide5 months ago in Personal More Like This
EDIT.
First off: THESE WORDS ARE NOT MINE. Are you able to understand this? Don't start bitching about this thread and please, stop insulting me. If you are depressed and want to read words like "Nuuu dont leave this world I luv u your imprtant((", stop reading now. The guy who wrote this wanted to cheer up everyone, using apparently mean terms. It's from 4chan, for fuck's sake, don't expect delicate words for crybabies.
Also, I'd been suicidal for years. So don't even try to tell me shit.
Thread starts HERE.
I never got why people would kill themselves.
So if you want to die you obviously don’t give a shit. Like, about anyone. ‘Cause if there is anyone who loves you, you don’t give a FUCK about them, or hurting them, and if there’s not, the
So I was just stopped by a cop....I wasn't driving. I was walking. He drives up, rolls down the window, and says something I don't quite hear. I say hello. He repeats it. "How old are you?"So I was just stopped by a cop....3 months ago in Personal More Like This
I'm in shock. I ask, "How OLD am I?"
"Yes."
"I'm 29!!" (I'm sure I sounded incredulous.)
He stares.
I say, "I have my license if you want to see it." He wants to see it so I give it to him. He looks and hands it back.
He thought I was a highschool truant.
The moral of the story is that I should stop wearing clothing a teenager might wear because as I continue to get older and not to age it will become more and more unbelievable that I am as old as I say I am and I don't look forward to being driven in the back of a police car to the nearest high school, in tears BECAUSE I HAVE ALREADY DONE MY TIME!

Propaganda I by ~Yuujakumi

The Comfort of Mindless Obedience
When is information true and useful and when is it just “propaganda?” Why in fact is an image or phrase or animated art sequence “propaganda” rather than it simply being a “lie?” What about acceptable lies that define our society as much as they degrade it - - for example commercials that obviously hype a product with untruths or political advertisements full of unachievable platitudes.
