Yesterday evening, I was doing my usual sleuthing routine on the internet. I’ll search for anything and everything that could potentially bring me some inspiration and give me the push to be creative. I somehow ended up on Flickr. - For those not familiar, Flickr was huge in the 2000’s and early 2010’s. I believe it was the first true photo sharing social media platforms but I may be wrong. Looking at these old Flickr accounts is almost like driving past houses at night and seeing what people are watching on TV. Yes, it’s slightly invasive, but otherwise innocuous. - While I was on Flickr I stumbled on an account that hadn’t been updated since roughly 2011. I had my attention caught by an account which, ironically, the owner had the same first name as myself. I found a sick photo of an X-ray of a foot with bolts, presumably the result of a procedure. I ended up scrolling and looking through his page. A glimpse into a past life. Who was Trevor? What was his life like then? He was a creative individual, an enjoyer of music. He had a band. I found similarities plentiful. I like finding common interests and similarities with people. A connection of sorts. - Trevor had a good portion of his life documented and shared for people to enjoy with him. - I ended up googling his band out of curiosity and discovered Trevor had passed away sometime in 2011. Upon this revelation, I felt a certain sadness, melancholy. I felt wrong, like I shouldn’t have been there. That I was invading his privacy in death. - I shared this with my friend, and he makes a good point. Trevor left a mark on this world. Trevor was a being. A real person. Trevor was a vibrant individual who was so full of live and lived it the way he wanted the best he could. As I write this, I’ve come to believe that maybe I’m wrong. Maybe it’s not a violation. Maybe it was just meant to happen. I’d like to extend a thank you to him for giving me the inspiration to be creative and create something to reflect upon him and the life he had. I hope wherever Trevor is now, he is at peace. - Life is temporal. Life is beautiful. Leave your mark.
Thank you for visiting my blog! This is actually a huge accomplishment for me, because this part of my site is the first part in which I was able to do a majority of the coding and css by myself after visiting a guide from W3Schools. I feel so psyched. Anyways, it's awesome now that I have a space on here to share some thoughts in full without any constraints. Doing this website is one of my favorite hobbies. When I have that inspiration, I feel like the limits are endless. Anyways, my name is Trevor. I'm a 21 year old guy from the US. I'm really into art and graphic design, and I'm a huge Madonna fan. I love all sorts of music, though. This website is inspired by Madonna's "Justify My Love" remix titled "The Beast Within". In this reworking of "Justify My Love", Madonna recites scripture from the book of revelations. It's a super scandalous track and got a lot of flack. In 2004, during her reinvention tour, she used a remix of that track over video clips from her photoshoot with Steven Klein called X-STaTIC PRo=CeSS. I'm totally obsessed with this photoshoot and I wanted to make it the theme of my website. As for Verba Contra Deum? It's a latin translation for the phrase "words against god", a lyric from "The Beast Within." I don't know, it just seemed cool, lmao. My good friend ZZZQuil helped make most of this site, though. I'm really grateful for his help. Anyways, that's all for now. Thanks for checking this out!
My name is Trevor and this is my blog. This is where from time to time I'll post little things about my life! Thanks for checking it out! :)
Coming soon.
