The Office

I tried to create a page called “Things Devon Likes” to show the world all the wonderful/shameful things that give me joy. But there were just too many things to fit on one page, and the final product didn’t look appealing. So I’m going to start posting about them on here from time to time so all you lovely people can learn more about the things that make me smile. My first entry will be about The Office because it comes on tonight, and I’m very excited about it.

If you haven’t seen The Office yet, you probably don’t have a TV. But in case you haven’t seen it, I’ll fill you in. The Office is a hilarious mockumentary sitcom about the daily lives of the employees at the Dunder Mifflin Paper Company office in Scranton, PA. The premise may not sound that interesting, but it has proven to be a huge success. The show is in its eighth season, and there are even rumors of a spin-off to premiere next year. It really is a great show.

What I love most about The Office is its dry humor. Like I said before, the setting and background are pretty bland. Even the characters’ clothes are quite generic for office workers. But it’s their personalities that make the show work. Every character is very well-developed, and they each have their own little quirks. The show is also very appealing because it’s so relatable. Having a crazy boss, not being able to work the copier, and forgetting your computer password are all experiences that viewers can relate to and laugh at. The ridiculous characters, the relatable setting, and the witty humor come together to form a show that proves that desk jobs don’t have to be boring. They can be the most hilarious thing on TV.

The Office airs on NBC Thursday nights and is also available on Hulu. Check it out!

These Times

I came across a song the other day by a band called SafetySuit. It’s a beautiful song. It’s called “These Times”, and I hope you will check it out.

We live in uncertain times. Whether it be a financial bind, a disease, a distant loved one, or a broken heart, we all have our trials. And sometimes, it feels like there’s no hope. Sometimes, we get so overwhelmed by our problems that we think there is no way out. But by trusting in God and loving each other, we can overcome any trials that come our way. With patience, love, hope, and community, we will get through these times.

“I’m telling you these times are hard, but they will pass.” —SafetySuit

Half-Birthday

This pretty much sums up how I’m feeling today.

Today is my half-birthday. In six months, I’ll be 20 years old. 😁

I’m getting so old. In six months, I’ll no longer be a teenager. What do 20-year-olds do, anyway?

Has anyone else had similar feelings about growing up? It seems to be flying by. Feel free to let me know what you think.

BackSpace Productions

As many of you may know, I recently shut down my old production company, the Djilas Project. I posted the farewell video a few days ago. It is hard for me to say goodbye to something that has been a huge part of my life for nearly four years, but it is time to move on to bigger and better things.

And that is why it is with great pleasure that I announce I have joined BackSpace Productions. I have worked with Kevin, Rickey, and Taylor on various video projects, and I am glad to finally be an official part of this awesome group. We are currently working on a full-length movie to be released in December 2012, but we will definitely be releasing some shorter videos in the coming year, too.

Thank you all so much for your support. I hope you will continue to support me and BackSpace Productions as we do our best to offer you high-quality entertainment and to have fun along the way. Film-making is my passion, and I count it a great blessing to be able to share my passion with you.

Check out BackSpace Productions on our website and Facebook page, and watch out for more videos coming your way in 2012!
