My very FIRST FA Journal entry...........
18 years ago
Wolfie's Journal Ramblings............
Heyas, everyone.
Well, this is my first Journal entry here. Hopefully, I won't sound TOO stupid with what I say. Anyway, here goes.
I've been a member here at FA for awhile now, and I know that many of you (ESPECIALLY my buddies from DA, SA (you know who you are); etc.) have wondered WHY I haven't posted any of my art here yet, and the answer is very simple: RL's been driving me terminally NUTS lately. I know that may not be much of an excuse, but it's the truth.
One of those RL-happenings was that my brother's mother-in-law passed away February 11 after a 3-year battle with cancer, which she faced bravely, right up til the end. It was bad enough losing her as it was, but even worse is the fact that Feb. 11 was ALSO her 50th birthday! As you can well imaging, that was NOT a real good day for those of us who knew her. Colleen was a fine, wonderful lady who was much loved by her family and friends, and she WILL be missed. Very MUCH so.
Her passing was also wrenching for me, because my OWN 50th birthday was only 2 days before hers, on February 9th. Gave me something to think about, let me tell you! I think I started appreciating my OWN mom a lot more than I already did (IF that's even possible! My mom is my best friend in this world!!!).
Anyway, I know that I've learned to appreciate life a lot more, and to NOT take things for granted. My health, my family, and many other things. And don't you guys, either. Life is WAY too short for that. TRUST me on THAT one!
Anywho, all that said, I hope to get some of my art up here soon. I would've had some up before this, but things always seemed to go wrong (I HAVE tried to, but either my comp took too long, or my Internet connection did, OR the site's server itself did, and so I just wound up GIVING up!). Hopefully, though, I can soon, as I DO want to post my humble art here. I mean, heck, that's WHY I GOT the darned thing in the FIRST place! So be on the look out for them, okay? Cool.
Oh, and since y! Gallery is being so stupid and persnikity about not allowing anthro and/or furry yaoi pics anymore (except on certain, specific areas), I plan on posting my TMNT; etc. yaoi pics here, as well. I'm NOT really comfortable about posting them at DA, for reasons that I can't go into right now.
Aaaaaand that's all for now, folks. So til NEXT time, this is your friend Wolfie, signing off!

Life is short. It's good to appreciate it for as long as it lasts. Bearing this in mind even little things like sunshine and butterflies, a postcard from a friend or an undisturbed full moon can be of great importance. =)
I'm looking forward to seeing your artwork.
And yeah, I have, too. My dad, my maternal granddad (my mom's dad), one of my uncles; etc. It's NEVER easy to give them up to something like that, trust me!
Oh, I know. I appreciate all that every day of my life. As you say, life's just too short to swet the small stuff. And I don't. Or I try not to, anyway.:D
Glad to hear it. I'm still working on getting it posted. The thing is getting my comp, my ISP AND FA all to cooperate at the same time! NOT easy, the last couple of times that I've tried TO upload a pic, TRUST me!
Anyway, please just keep being patient. They ARE coming. Promise.
And no problem, I'm very patient. Good things come to those who wait. =)
And that's a VERY good thing for me! I'm surprised that some of my buddies here haven't been after me with a ssorted "weapons" for not uploading anyhting yet.
And yes, they do. And again, thank you for being so very patient.
Now, if I can just get my comp and Internet to cooperate..............
sorry to hear about your brother's mother-in-law *hugs* She passed away on the same date my grandmother passed away :( It's a date that I'll never forget nor my grandfather's. I'm really heart-wretched when I can't be by their side when they both passed away a year apart. My dad refuse to pay for the renewal fee for my passport and flight tickets (with the excuse that I've my collage to deal with) when they were ill, which seemed really unfair as I never met them for almost a decade... it's really unbearable. I was hoping to see once I graduate from collage. Their passing came too soon and all too shocking for me and my mom to take in.

Thankies for your kind words. They mean more to me than you know.
Omigoodness! Was it THIS year? If it was, you have my deepest and sincerest condolences. *huggles*
And that was LOUSY of your dad, whether or not that he was thinking about your college stuff. You deserved to be by your grandparents side when they left this world, and he should be SERIOUSLY bapped for not doing that for you! Seriously.
And where my parents are concerned, I'm lucky in that I still have my mom, and I was fortunate enough to be there when my dad went to be with the Lord. I miss him like anything (even if it HAS been over 20 years since he passed on), but he's in a better place, and he's no longer suffering from cancer.
And I bet it did. Love to you both. *huggles gently again*
