SplatterTribe: Introduce and compare yourself to a food product and tell us why the comparison?   Devon: Hi I am a turnip. I love the earth as it is my home from which it I have grown. Often while planting a garden I am neglected. But eat me up, my taste is eclectic. ( no Dr. Seuss, but I get what I get)     SplatterTribe: What is your definition of Art?   Devon: oh man, the whole thing is. The world. What an astonishing expression. So many textures - mood and emotion.

The stipulation is that we got to be receptive. Also I would like to add I don’t think we can claim sole responsibility to any creation. There is a transient bi-way. Maintaining the rhythm of one particular theme we can stabilize, and prolong its duration.
 

SplatterTribe: Do you think it is possible for the sky to fall?   Devon: Yes, every time it rains.     SplatterTribe: How would you define Entertainment?

A Turnip

Devon: Anything that transports you from the hum-drum that you are normally accustom to dwelling - to a space more stimulated.
 

 

SplatterTribe: Can you write a sentence or a paragraph using the following 7 words?

Splatter
Mold
Tribe
Socks
Macaroni
Cheese
Maze

Devon: No

(*Tribe Note: No Answer? You know how long it took me to come up with that question? Well, after seeing the "no" answer I decided to send Devon the following sentence for creativity's sake....

 

.....While traveling through the maze of macaroni and mold, the Tribe got cheese splatter on their socks.

See, that wasn't so hard! Well here is his response,

 

"And about the "no" comment : I had to. It seamed like so much fun. it was a whimsy of rebellion."

 

Now,..What this all boils down to is a prime example of the problem with being an interviewer with such a no b.s. cutting edge interview style like I possess. You can ask the tough questions....but there's no guarantee they will answer them!)

 

SplatterTribe:  What kind of writing are you into the most fiction or non-fiction?
 

Devon: Definitely fiction. Unfortunately, writing fiction - for me - is more of a feat than non-fiction. Not having a station of actual events to work from, requires more trust in the outcome, and an over-all greater imagination.
 

SplatterTribe: Are you into conspiracy theories? If so, give me one.

Devon: I have two.

 

One: The shadow government has existed for a few million years and every 10 to 30 thousand years the world is subjected to a major catastrophe which whips away all traces of humanity. The shadow government, exiting in massive subterranean facilities repopulates the earth with human beings, and if necessary : organic life of varies persuasions. The “alien” vessels reported by eye-witnesses are engineered and piloted by human beings, using technology that has been evolving for more than a million years.
 

Two: Everything that ever was, ever is, and ever will be has always existed - no beginning nor ending, with no creation nor destruction. Cause and effect is relative - products of limited self that is constantly comparing conditions and extremes. In actuality everything is simply an expression of atman in super-position. Its all consciousness, and or proto-consciousness..

 

(Tribe Note: Uhm, yeah, do you have any proof of any of this? And if you do....PREPARE TO DIE RAT!)

 

SplatterTribe: What video games have you spent the most time on in your life?   Devon: Halo 2 and 3. The ways you can kill one another in multiplayer is quite versatile. The hours oblivious to life outside the box has been fucking ridiculous!

A Tie

 

 

SplatterTribe: How do you fit a square peg into a round whole?
 

Devon: Easy - just make sure the hole is bigger than the peg.
 

 

SplatterTribe: Do you think Tom Cruise is a Man, Alien, Robot or a sibling of Michael Jackson?
 

Devon: I think he is a guy who has bought himself the delusion of enlightenment, which coincidently is merely an exaggerated demonstration of each of us. We all believe we are right (at lest most of the time) and that our mind-frame is the best, otherwise we would adopt a new veneer. No body has sanity’s approval.

(*Tribe Note: See, I would have said sibling of Michael Jackson because of his lack of understanding just how weird he is and the fact that I know I read somewhere that Tom Cruise used to be a black dude.)

 

 

SplatterTribe: I saw some skeletons in the lines on my walls. They kept laughing and pointing and trying not to fall. Then one looked my way and jumped to the floor, stared me in the face and said, "Open the door!", but the only door in the room was already open. I mean honestly what do you do in that situation?
 

Devon: First and very importantly you should shut the door and then ask them to clarify. Next - of equal importance rearrange your clothes in a questionable manner, like socks on your hands, and ties on your toes. Do this to show you understand the randomness of the meeting - all preconceptions are off. Never offer food, or drink. Naturally it only enrages them. And if ever you feel their intentions are to frighten you - you turn about and wiggle your hinny and say “Nanny nanny boody boody” The inconsistency of this action will have them scratching their heads in great perplexity.
 

 

Socks

SplatterTribe: What are your music listening recommendations?   Devon: Believe it or not I don’t listen to much music. When the question comes up my response is rather awkward ,and somewhat of a conversation kill. People love that question because it is a way of sizing people up, seeing what box they belong in, and how the interior of our box compares to theirs. If people want to know the potential compatibility of some one we should just observe the other person’s facial characteristics and body language-

 so much more effective in deducing their essence. Maybe that’s just me.
 

SplatterTribe: The next question is a 5th grade science question so we can find out if you truly are........SMARTER THAN A 5th GRADER!

Two students wanted to find out
which of their toy race cars would go
the farthest. They let each car roll
down a ramp and then measured how

far the cars rolled. Which of these
should be held constant if they want a
fair test of their cars?
A The height of the ramp
B The weight of the ramp
C The length of the cars
D The shape of the cars

Devon: I’ll go with shape.

 

(*Tribe Note: Doh!! Nope. See the answer there would have been the height of the ramp. Why? Because it is, So there you go Devon. You Are NOT Smarter Than A 5th Grader)
 

SplatterTribe: Give us some movie recommendations
 

Devon: American Beauty ( number one favorite)
 

 

SplatterTribe: Any closing comments regarding anything?

 

Devon: Yes, I’m full of shit. And oh yeah : we should do are best to shut up. It’s all much more beautiful in silence.

 There's no need to Welcome Devon to the Tribe cause Devon has been a member of The Tribe for years and years. So see, this interview wasn't to Welcome Devon. This interview was to Introduce Devon. So World, meet Devon & The FoolRant.
