*RAWRBARKS* whos still with me? (update)
11 years ago
General
Life is too short to waste thinking about the past or worrying about the future. Live for the moment and regret nothing.
First I would like to once again apologize for my absence of late. Not that its a completely valid excuse but I have been busy as hell the last couple months. Today is my first day off in quite a while where I don't have a long list of things to do.
As far as work. I have two business endeavors going on and now I'm working full time in sales, hopefully temporarily, to help raise money to launch my businesses. What am I selling? Vacuum cleaners, but I'll get to that in a minute. The first being my local delivery company with a box truck, which has been temporarily put on a back burner due to not having money to rent a semi so I can transfer my license from Missouri to Illinois, and I can't put insurance on the box truck with an out of state license. Secondly, I have become involved in a roadside assistance and windshield repair company called JustNTime. Its a new company, less then a year in business, so business is slow, but I'm sticking with it for now and seeing where it goes. As far as sales, I mentioned vacuum cleaners. Have you guys ever heard of Kirby? I'm a Kirby salesman lol. I've only been with the company for a couple weeks, and the independent factory distributor I'm working for does offer a guaranteed weekly minimum plus commission so if I don't make a sale I'm still not working for free. They are great machines though so I should be getting some sales. In fact I plan to buy one for our myself to use in our house at some point. I have every intention of seeing where this job goes, if it goes well and I end up making decent money I might just stick with it and decide to get out of the transportation industry for a while. But I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.
My F150 has long since been sold to a friend from Missouri, and I'm grateful that its in good hands. My new toy, which is both my daily driver 3 out of 4 seasons and my racecar (in case you missed it: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/13701647/) will soon be battle ready. I have a Progress solid front swaybar, ZZP tubular lower control arms, and a new set of BFGoodrich G-Force Comp-2 summer tires in the garage waiting to go on. As far as future plans, there are several planned upgrades. My goal with it is to crack 400whp or 11s in the quarter mile, whichever comes first. Traction is a big issue with this car on street tires, it spins up to like 80mph. I know what the previous owner told me it runs, but I haven't tracked it myself yet, so I'm looking forward to getting it on the track myself and seeing what it can really do. I have gotten into it, but I haven't fully opened it up on the street.
Full_Moon_Arkell and I have been together officially for two months as of Friday the 25th. I don't know if its because I was so used to being alone, but theres still a part of me that expects this is all a dream and sooner or later I'm going to wake up.
I finally got to try fursuiting. We are planning to get full fursuits made of Kalak and Ryder eventually, but in the meantime we are sharing a fox partial called Plex. Some of you may recognize him because of who he was once owned by. We are giving Plex a fresh start, a new permanent home, a new personality, and we are working on a new backstory for him. We are planning to get some art made of him so he can exist as a character and not just a fursuit. Here are a couple pictures of me wearing Plex for the first time:

Our house was very messy at the time lol sorry about that.
My next suiting at experience was at LAFF Downer's Grove furbowl. I'm still kinda shy around other fursuiters but I'm learning. As my mate pointed out, wearing Plex now at smaller meets is good practice for big cons and for when I eventually get Kalak made into a fursuit. Either way it was a fun time and I look forward to doing it again.
I'm also WAY behind on submissions, by like 14000, so I doubt I will ever get caught up but thats okay.
Anyway, thats about all I can think of for now. I'm honestly wondering how many of you guys are still with me after all this time, as inactive as I've been on here. I am sincerely sorry. If you took the time to read all this, thank you, and please leave a comment so I know I'm not just talking to the Dragoneer's server. I'd be curious to hear whats going on in your lives, whats new and different, etc. Lets talk.
PS. Hopefully I will be able to start getting on skype again in the evenings, I know thats how many of you keep in contact with me and I've been neglecting it recently.
