Macbook

I just got my laptop back, however, I want a Macbook really badly. I just love the look, the programs and eerything, and they last so much longer than PC.


My pinky fell asleep :/

Animals That Fulfill Our Lives

I've been looking through my photos that I've taken of my animals, and no matter what kind of mood I'm in, these photos continuously make me smile. Here's a few recent photos:

 

This particular photo wasn't staged, my dog (Bello) is constantly laying down in chairs that are for people, and he just makes the most cutest faces, If the photo wasn't in black&white you'd be able to notice that he's a dirty ranch dog, but the family loves him and we enjoy him being at the ranch. 

 

Buddy, is my mom's dog, I actually told Buddy to lay down, and that's where he chose to lay down, I never stage my photos because I like when it's a "be yourself" sorta concept. 

Expect a lot more photos soon, I'm possibly getting a new camera in the next few months.

Photo shoot w/ Max

On one warm spring day, Max (model), came over to play with my little brother, and he was in the front yard swinging a tennis racket around and I saw him through my room window. I proceeded to go out side and told him to do various posses with the tennis racket, and this was the result. I good photo shoot. You can view more of my photos on Flickr>>http://www.flickr.com/photos/makayladavis/

I had a lot of fun with this shoot, he's just has amazing character, one of a kind

Is it time?

I'm thinking a lot about writing my first book, I have various ideas for the concept and meaning for my book. Now, I'm just trying to sort out the ideas and analyze and hopefully then everything will fall into place as it should.

I'd like to note all of my ideas here in this blog, but I'm afraid that will result in a individual swiping my ideas and using them to there advantage. But, if you know me personally, I could defiantly share my ideas with you.

August Rush

August Rush is a movie about a young boy being taken away from his mother at birth, and he finds his parents through his music. This movie is very heart warming and inspiring, and it gave me hope, hope that one day I could find my farther through my writing or photography. I know August Rush is just a movie, but these types of situations happen in every day life. They happen when people have faith, hopes, and dreams.

I strive each day to become a better person, and I have faith that I will find my farther through my interest -writing and photography- It could defiantly happen, miracles do happen. Maybe that's what God has planned for me. Keeping faith will only assure me that that's what is meant for me.

My faith has just rose, my dreams have just expanded, and I will never stop hoping that one day I'll find him, for the better or worst, there will always be an empty piece in my heart until I see him.

Never doing the right thing

I've lived my life knowing in the back of my mind that I can never get the things I truly want, and only the things I need. I live in a household where I'm compared all the time to Their life time and how they were raised and how they grew up. It's ridiculous because as the world ages technology is becoming a must so why not keep up with it. Also, knowing such things like: some of my peers get whatever they want, when they want, and I have to watch them in their happiness.

When will my happiness come? I figure until I get my own job and earn my own money where someone is required to pay me my money no matter what. Because, do things for your family doesn't pay off one bit; they never pay you for the things you do for them, but you still do those things because their family. I'm done doing favors for people, I'm doing being the "nice guy". I'm tired of hearing the old "Be patient". It's really aggravating and it makes me sick to my stomach knowing that I can't have the things I want.

Yeah, sure I know about the people in poverty, and I'm tired of getting compared to them when I talk about how I can't have the things I want. If you think about they are in a 3rd world country, I'm in America. Don't ever compare me to them. If your going to stoop that low and compare me to them, you should compare me to my peers that go to my school look what kind of car they have, how expensive their clothes are.

Nothing is cheap, and nothing will ever be cheap in this world again, so your just going to have to cope with it and stop complaining about how you cant but something because it's not on sale. But, you want the economy to get better, go spend some money then, because that's the only way it'll ever get better.

I have family members that has done nothing extraordinary to receive all of the materialistic things that they have, and I've kept good grades my whole life and I've done most of things I do for my Mother. I'm done doing things for her, she's living her life through me and it wont happen any longer. I've applied to a summer program for science and health for her, because she cannot except the fact that I'm a creative person, I like to write and take photography. She wants me to become some Forensic Detective or some sort of Doctor.

Mom, your the one always talking about how we need to change because we have a new president and he's the first African American president. Maybe you should change.

I don't care how much money those people make, if I'm not doing something that makes me happy, then I'm not doing it for me. So why do it?

That's the question I've asked myself for the longest time. I'd say the answer is because I please others instead of pleasing myself. I try to make them happy, but even doing all that I don't get rewarded and barely get a "Good Job" for the things that I do in school. There's always something that I'm not doing right or something that I should be doing.

Why not just congratulate me for the things I do instead of complaining about what I'm not doing? Ask yourself that, and think about it each day.

I'm convinced that I will never reach potential happiness because of the way I live my life.

I'm not "okay" with that.

Blog Changes

I"ve been thinking about making changes in the topics I chose to write about. I think I'm going to start writing about current topics (newspaper style) and also do my own interviews for my blog.

Also, once I get my video camera I will be doing live feeds of interviews and I think that will bring a lot of attention to my blog. I may even find another more in depth site to start blogging on.

I may in fact start blogging on a site called Flickr.com where I upload all of my photography. If you take a look at my first couple of writings in my blog you'll see that they have pictures in them. those were a few of my first pictures I've ever taken; now I've learned a lot about photography and getting better day by day.

If you know of any in depth blog sites let me know.
Also, check out my Flickr account (all my photography):
