About
Hello there! My name is Devin, and I guess you have stumbled across my blog! I am basically just 20 year old guy from New Jersey who is interested in politics, the paranormal, meteorology, and spirituality. (So pretty much a a bona fide freak show!) For the most part, I am laid back, open-minded to new things, and suffer from a bit of social anxiety! And well that is pretty much it for now, maybe we can chat sometime! (And if you friend request me on Facebook please just let me know so I don't leave you sitting in Facebook purgatory :P).

Mind-Bending Photo-Manipulations by Erik Johansson
Erik Johansen’s pictures are worth more than a thousand words. The German born, Swedish based photographer enjoys nothing more than manipulating the mind with his tantalizing visual imagery. His vivid imagination and surreal forms create brilliant pictures of surreal moments, all with a hint of the believable. Originally a computer engineering student, Johansson currently works on personal projects as well as commissioned ones.

"Now all you can do is wait. It must be hard for you, but there is a right time for everything. Like the ebb and flow of tides. No one can do anything to change them. When it is time to wait, you must wait."
— Haruki Murakami/ The Wind Up Bird Chronicle (via vous-trouvez)

Ten Relationship Words That Aren't Translatable Into English
- Mamihlapinatapei (Yagan, an indigenous language of Tierra del Fuego): The wordless yet meaningful look shared by two people who desire to initiate something, but are both reluctant to start.
- Yuanfen (Chinese): A relationship by fate or destiny. This is a complex concept. It draws on principles of predetermination in Chinese culture, which dictate relationships, encounters and affinities, mostly among lovers and friends.
- Cafuné (Brazilian Portuguese): The act of tenderly running your fingers through someone's hair.
- Retrouvailles (French): The happiness of meeting again after a long time.
- Ilunga (Bantu): A person who is willing to forgive abuse the first time; tolerate it the second time, but never a third time.
- La Douleur Exquise (French): The heart-wrenching pain of wanting someone you can’t have.
- Koi No Yokan (Japanese): The sense upon first meeting a person that the two of you are going to fall into love.
- Ya’aburnee (Arabic): “You bury me.” It’s a declaration of one’s hope that they’ll die before another person, because of how difficult it would be to live without them.
- Forelsket: (Norwegian): The euphoria you experience when you’re first falling in love.
- Saudade (Portuguese): The feeling of longing for someone that you love and is lost. Another linguist describes it as a "vague and constant desire for something that does not and probably cannot exist."
"We misrecognise ourselves in the image of the other and through this misrecognition come to constitute an idea of ourselves, an identity which is fragile and predicated on that which is external to us. … I misrecognise the other as like me on the basis of my own misrecognition of myself and I fail to grasp that which is truly other in the other just as I fail to grasp what is truly other in myself."
