Deviantly detained?

Tue Oct 27, 2009, 11:32 PM
I've been MIA for so long I don't even know what to say. I'm not going to make excuses, because I know that everyone out there knows that life happens.

I moved to (outside) LA, got a job, got a new apartment, the only thing I lack is a rescued kitten. Stay tuned for that is next on my list.

I've finally managed to unpack my camera; it felt so good to hold it again. I've been taking pictures here and there with a Canon Powershot but it just does. not. compare.
I'm reviving/planting some roses in my back garden as well...gardening has become a hobby? Never thought I'd see the day. Next thing you know I'll actually learn how to cook (probably not.)
There's something about the coastal climate that makes gardening into almost a calling. Flowers spring from the cracks in the sidewalks, as do palm trees and cactuses. It smells beautiful whenever I take morning walks or runs down the strand to the beach.

In my spare time, between working, gardening, reading, thinking about what I'm going to do with the rest of my life slash where I'll be living next, I've been working on some book ideas. The poetry book is set and almost complete, but my books are a bit of a work in progress, which is perhaps because they blur the realism/supernatural barrier. It's hard to keep things in my head so almost everything I write turns into a stream of consciousness. I'll have some previews up here soon, if only to make myself feel better.

ALSO! I'd welcome any thoughts regarding subjects of photography! I'm looking for new ideas to try.

OH MY GOD I think I found what you were saying! [link] Came across it when I was looking for the cliffnotes version of Greek love-philosophy for my brother. Here is the suspected snippet:

Plato does not talk of physical attraction as a necessary part of love, hence the use of the word platonic to mean, "without physical attraction." Plato also said eros helps the soul recall knowledge of beauty, and contributes to an understanding of spiritual truth.
Lovers and philosophers are all inspired to seek truth by eros.

As a matter of personal respect I have never quoted anyone I did not think was more clever than myself which has, until today, made me seem very foolish.

Okay what the crap. I believe I misinterpreted your Milton :(
So much of his poetry rhymes, you must explain, convey, teach me the rebellious rewards of discipline!

thanks for the reply and +fav. I have been so preoccupied thus far in the semester, so i didn't get too many chances to sort through all the shots i've taken "still".

if i have time this week i'll find one or two to put up

is it just me or is this text window moving as i type? as you can see i'm not exactly sober ;) and complicating this is i'm listening to "Girl From A Pawnshop" by The Black Crowes i can't tell if the song's sad or happy, cuz right now it sounds like McJagger on prozac
:iconmatthewfike:
