shut up, strap up and step up..
added a piece to facebook a few minutes ago. vids from Youtube make up around 40% of my posting on that website so it's not an unusual event, expect in the piece accompanying the vid I wrote something rather honest. so honest in fact I kinda surprised myself. the vid was about the pics of Robert Capa (D-Day) and his photos. here's what I wrote:
"everything I do creatively, from writing to photography usually stems from Rob Capa. the freewheeling, improv attitude in work. the broken-bottle aspect of my layouts. the us-against-the-world mentality. all stems from the Spanish Civil War and D-Day, Capa and Tauro. very honest, very unapologetic, very dispassionate almost. it's not much, but it is what it is. X"
rereading it I admit it isn't 100% truth. I am honest, but I am also apologetic for my approach. it's something i'm trying to curb in my life. as long as i'm not mean to anyone it shouldn't mean I have to apologise for being... different. cos I am, OBVIOUSLY, not just the obvious but in my opinions of things. I rarely march to any drum but my own. and it's often out of time. ;)
But that aside the rest is pretty much spot-on. I like minority tales, ensemble stories, survivor narratives. It might be ramped up for tension and drama, but most of my friends have endured the worst and have come out stronger for it. Nietzsche was spot on with that one. it makes you interesting, makes for an interesting story down the pub. you laugh louder at the good bits if you cry harder at the not-so-good parts. very rollercoaster but that's life.
I don't know where this post is going, but I just thought i'd share it.
I mean, today I did my nails, cleaned the apartment, changed my bedding for something with wild flowers on it, washed and blow-dried my hair and read. and wrote.
[the last one I thought was so obvious it wouldn't need mentioning]
blow dry hair?
nails?
FLORAL BEDDING??????
ok, who am I and where's Devi gone? ;)
heck, i'm writing this with a bottle of Coke (I only drink it out of bottles, i'm a snob when it comes to certain brands). You might as well label me as mainstream white girl. or GWG 2.1.
[GWG - Generic White Girl, a friend of mine I roomed with back in the day]
does this mean I have to start lusting after The Wanted? eat KFC regularly? Watch Hollyoaks?
*shudder*
