The Game of Life!
15 years ago
First off, salutations to everyone! How's everyone been? Don't be shy; we're all here to talk today. Share your thoughts and feelings. :3
Next, I would like to apologize for my lack of activity lately. I know, I can't apologize enough for that. ^^;
Now, I'm just one deviation away from hitting the big 200th over on dA. I wanted my Friend Portrait, that thing I promised to a few people, to be my 200th, so I haven't been submitting anything. Then again, I haven't been drawing very much lately, either. I don't know if there's a valid reason for that.
I've seriously been lacking in proactivity of any sort lately. Classes are starting back up for me on Tuesday the 18th, so I'd better hustle. Last year was one hell of a roller-coaster for me, experiencing many ups and downs as I kept on truckin' with life, accepting whatever it threw at me. Whether it was good or bad, I just absorbed every hit.
It's a miracle I'm still standing today, in all honesty.
But enough of that. I must work harder than ever if I want to succeed in this game of skill and chance. That means I have to change up my daily schedule, switching things up here and there. For instance, I must step away from my comfort zone and start being more proactive in schoolwork and my artistic abilities, not to mention social prowess. That said, I won't mention my plans on seeking employment, because that's still a huge hurdle for me to jump over. As absurd as that sounds to most of you with an upright head...
I also plan to delve into a few new territories in the artsy department, some of which I'll leave up in the air for you to interpret and imagine. X3 It's going to be interesting, and I'm going to require a lot of patience.
Art, as much as I love it, tears me apart. Whether it's sketching, writing fiction, or working on more hands-on things like perler beads, I'm always the man who can never finish anything. I have so many ideas, fantasies and desires, but I can never bring them to fruition, at least to the point where I can call it complete and be proud of it. Hell, I look at the work I do-- my art--, I admire it very much, but I'm unable to pick out a single piece that I'm truly proud of. Sure, I've improved since I begun my account here and on deviantArt (hell, even before that!), but to what extent? Nothing I've done strikes out to the hearts of their viewers.
Until the day in which I can break the cycle, I shall keep working hard doing the thing I love the most-- drawing Nintendo-inspired fan art and fantasies from my imagination. I don't think I'll ever stop doing that, as much as people may dislike it.
I apologize for the rant. My ADD always gets the best of me when I write journals. ^^;
(I'm not advertising my condition for sympathy, by the way; it really does get in the way of things. If anything, I just laugh it off.)
In other random news, I extended my music collection world-wise in getting a hold of a nifty soundtrack from the Finnish band Hevisaurus [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hevisaurus ], a power metal band for kids that features dinosaurs playing metal instruments. I have to say, it's impressive enough that a band like this exist for the kiddies, but their music is nothing short of amazing. Of course, being metal, I'd say it's an acquired taste.
Not to mention, it's Finnish, so I can't really understand what they're saying. Hehe! Nevertheless, I still enjoyed their Jurahevin Kuninkaat album, the one I snagged, thoroughly.
That's all I have to report for the moment. ¡Hasta luego! ^.-.^
