Family, Pokémon X, Birthdays and other happenings...
12 years ago
I don't usually write journals about things going on in my personal life, but today I have just been hit by some devastating news that I have to vent it out...
My grandfather, a man who I have looked up to, has passed away last night after his battle with a second stroke in the hospital back at my home state. He was a nice guy, wouldn't let his age stop him from being a youthful spirit and a witty man. At an age in his early 80s, he could still manage to be an enjoyable fellow to be around for anyone. I enjoyed his company, and I will miss him dearly as I am coping with the reality that his recent years of issues have come down to this day. I will miss him, as will the rest of my family and friends who knew him.
This photo best shows how awesome this guy was. This was during the annual Outer Banks beach trip with my family. Let this picture set the tone on how cool he was and how much he will be missed.

I will miss you, Buddy (his nickname). May you find peace in heaven...
On a lighter note, I got my hands on Pokémon X at the midnight launch, no big surprise to anybody. Anybody who I haven't got on my 3DS friend list yet, let me know. I am showing some interest in dedicating more time in some hardcore battling in the competitive spree, so I would love to spend more time battling with my friends and foes. Want to actually make the most out of this Pokémon experience with this generation's game.
Call that an early birthday present to myself, because my birthday is now 9 days away (which makes it October 22nd). Another year older and another year the wiser. Weeeeeeeeeee.
In the art department, I wrapped up the Pokéwalker avis for the year. I didn't get enough avis to post Set 2, so I will just let that sit on the sidelines. If Felldoh and Annie would like to post theirs on my behalf in their own galleries, you have my permission as long as you give credit.
I don't have a lot of art pieces lined up to work on. Been taking the time to relax and take a break, I suppose. I do have a lineart I should finish since I will be home all day today. Though I should have some pics between now and when I will be bringing back another drawing spree series in honor of a certain show's new season kicking off this fall...... stay tuned!
And that's all I got for now. Stay safe, everyone, and have a good weekend.

My heart out to you buddy <333333
I got pokemon x too. Not sure how competitive I'll be, but It's nice having that option being more accessible.
But no matter the loss, there is always a bright side. Sure I didn't know him personally, but I'm sure he was a great man who touched a lot of hearts. He may not be with us physically, but he still lives on by those lives he's graced with his presence, over the span of his life. :]
On a lighter note......... Booooooooooooooooooooo! Shoulda got Y, like all the real men got/are getting. :b I'm no competitive Pokemon player, so don't expect to see me battle too much. If they have a team dealy, I'll more than happily do that with whomever.
Plus, this one has exclusives i want, so i am content with this decision.
I loved your grandparents man. you guys have been a second family to me. Always will be.
