Calling all Car Lover Furs!
General | Posted 9 years ago I have created a telegram chat which focuses on the love of cars. Rather you restore, work on, or admire you are welcome! It is a unbiased chat which does not focus on (pardon for lack of better words) a pissing contest of brands or types. That being said, i ask if you join to follow that unbiased rule, and respect others opinions, and fancies.
General chatter is also welcome! So please be kind, and enjoy! Share of knowledge is also welcomed!

Music and Chill?
General | Posted 10 years agoUpdates 'aka' Alive and still kicking!
General | Posted 10 years ago Figured since i had the spare time, i would sit down and write a little journal. Still very tired from the week, or rather since the last of November so pardon if this is not at captivating and colorful. =p Been working my tail off thus the reason i have no posted much on here, and to those i have in contact with.. the reason i have been fairly quiet the past few months on skype and other messaging services. All this work though is really starting to pay off though since i got a pay rate raise, but enough about that! Important thing is, things are getting much better now, and my advice there is to just keep on trucking and trying. Sadly, i did slip with the smoking @_@ so been trying to get my stress levels back down so i can kick it for good. Also, since i have been pulling these hours i have been gaining quite a bit of vacation time and fun-fund.. just a hint for next year.
I really do miss socializing with fellow members of the fandom, and call me whiny but as of late something has been sorta eating away at me. Due to little time i have to sit down at the computer, meet people and chat i am a bit worried i am becoming disconnected to what i once called one of the main reasons i love it. This really bothers me, because i really do love talking with people from all around, and i am always up for meeting new people. After all.. it is how i have talked, or even met quite a few of you fine people. I also think the lack of contact is what is making my anxiety and angst sky rocket lately, because who wants to lose touch right?
On that note, i did make a Telegram so that maybe i can keep in better touch with new and current acquaintances, and i will post this. It is free for anyone to shoot a message.. just keep things appropriate, and try not to be creepy right off the bat, and ipromise not to bite. Most of you know i have a twitter too, i normally have time to site down at work and check stuff there as well, so feel free.

So, please if you like dont be afraid to fire off a simple hello even. Chances are that of course it will make my day better, and i will try to be of good company as well! ..Though at how long i have been quiet on here i am sure like only 2 people will read this anyway. xD

Updates on being smoke-less
General | Posted 10 years ago Going to keep this short and sweet since.. well right now i feel like total crap. Managed to get through work again today without my smoke breaks, and lets say i was a tiny bit irritable today, otherwise it was a fantastic day! I have noticed some of my senses coming back like my taste and smell.. bad news i never notice how bad it smells in the back room... @_@ I did however break and had a cigarette later when i got home after dealing with every idiot driving.. at once.. going the same direction, but after about 2 or 3 draws in it started to taste like shit.. pardon my french. Funny thing is.. i did not break the "seal" i put on my pack. My sister came in early that morning and as nice as she is; broke the seal on it and got or smoked quite a few out of the pack... So technically i did not go against what i promised myself. I will be getting another pack if need be to do the same thing with.. and keep it safe from her but hidden from sight from me.
Right now i am quite a bit nauseated/dizzy well has having a bad headache. The past couples of nights sleep has not been coming easy at all for me. So i believe this is the worse part people has been telling me about. I have also been a bit slow mentally today. Figuring problems out has started taken a lot longer than i normally could do, well as plenty of brain farts. I feel i am being too negative in this post so i am going to get back into my day overall.
Yeah, today was fantastic spite all those things. Things just seemed so much more brighter if that makes sense. Smoking never really crossed my mind until i got home oddly, and just felt like weights was lifted off of me for the day and felt a lot more lively than i normally do. During my break instead of sitting outside to get a few cigarettes down me, i just sat in the lounge and had quite a length chat with a few coworkers that i have yet to really get to know. Always nice breaking the ice with new people.
Soo.. that is pretty much all i got for now, so signing off!
PS: Thank you everyone for the inspirational messages and comments today, they helped quite a bit!

Trying to Quit Smoking... Moral Support Needed!
General | Posted 10 years ago A few days ago i made a resolution to myself while taking a shower (where all the great ideas come from!) to better myself starting.. well at that point. The past few years have really taken a toll on my body; physically, mentally, and i am sure internally with how much i have picked up smoking these days. All in all i have been smoking about 8 or 9 years now, with the last few years being my heaviest years.
I have quite a few goals i want to meet to better myself, but i am making this one the main one right now. I just do not have the stamina/endurance, weight, or quality of life i use to have in my younger days, and i desperately want to get this back. I do not have to mention i do not believe all the money that goes into this nasty habit either. I did the math and i am spending $1481.90 A YEAR on cigarettes, and that is low balling it. I tend to smoke more in stressful times so it can be a lot higher than that.
Though i have decided, this is pretty much cold turkey, and i know it is going to be hard considering my job so i really really REALLY need support from you guys, because that will mean the world to me, and make this a piece of cake that is worth it. I personally suck at self motivations and it is the ugly truth, so if anyone has any upbringing words, tips, or anything to help me out it would really be appreciated and wolf will love you long time.
I am in the process of making a little list to go along with the pack that i just bought, along with the little reminder i wrote on it before i think about breaking the seal
https://twitter.com/Angelo_Blacwin/.....08633072189440
i will be posting this list online too for a little extra boost to stick to the program. On this list it will list the reasons why i need to quit, the gains from quitting, and what i can do with the money saved.. though i am sure some of you have already guessed one or maybe two of those =p
During this i will post journals every now and then going over what i am feeling, what it has been like to that point, and physical differences i have noticed. Maybe that can encourage others to quit as well, and for myself to look back on.

Updates and whatnot PLUS A RANT! =D
General | Posted 10 years agoI know it has been quite awhile since i have made a journal.. about 2 or 3 months i believe? Well, that is because i have been fairly busy with other priories, and i give my sincere apologizes. ^^;;
My work hours have been stabilized somewhat, well as other things in life. Also my fiance is now fully (err somewhat) recovered from her surgery! She claims to feel much better, with her occasional sore days, but otherwise nothing compared to what she was feeling pre-surgery. Luckily her disk was not removed, and they just sorta shaved the bad part off in laymen terms, well as removing the bone spurs from her back. All at the cost of a tiny scare which is fully healed on her back. She also wants me to thank each and every one of you who took part in donating to keep the bills paid, and that her and myself is eternally grateful for all of you! She is not fully recovered, but enough to where she can ease back into work on a medium load and she can do 95% of what she could normally do, but she will get there soon enough.. she still receives bonks for trying to lifting anything that is above her limits. >.>
So yeah, things are evening back out for us, including a future move! That is right, we have been planning this for quite some time, and hammering out the final bits of the plan to carry it out when the time comes. We will be moving to Tennessee near the Chattanooga area called Red Bank. In fact a couple weeks ago we spent some time down there, and have to say i personally love the place. =] So if any of you are in or around this area feel free to send a note!
I think.. that covers all the news.. NOW a bit of a rant from something recent. I will keep it short and sweet, but will get the point across.
Yes, there is a few people in the fandom that i do not mind having my more personal contact information; such as my phone number, facebook, personal email, ect ect. However, these are just as i called them PERSONAL CONTACT INFORMATION which means i do not want to make close ties to anyone on them. This is what i have a skype, and twitter for just such a thing to contact me on, well as a more fandom related email, but i use it more for commissions. It can be used for contact though. Otherwise, just keep in touch with me on here if you do not mind. Keep in mind, any of those who does have my personal contact information this is not directed to you =] There is a reason i handed it out if you do have it.

Fiance Out of Surgery
General | Posted 10 years agoA bit late posting this since i just got back from the hospital not too long ago after a long.. nail biting day, but i am happy to inform everyone she woke up and things went off without a hitch. Besides the normal soreness and nausea she even says she feels better than she did coming in instantly spite the post surgery pain. She is up talking, on her phone laptop and even walking short distances (with a little help but no walker) Again i like to thank everyone who sent in good vibes and prayers. Also to thsoe who have donated to the gofundme page to help with things during her long recovery, which is still open if anyone would wish to help. I will post her updated blog update (once she is done with it), along with a wake up video i took of her (with her permission plus she wants me to) soon as i can.
Fiance's Spinal Surgery Updates
General | Posted 10 years ago I figured i would make a post on this to keep those who was so awesome and kind to donate or spread the word to help out. So the 21st is the big day for her, she has already had her preliminary visit, and blood work done; well as that nice little kit for body sterilization .-. She is ready to get this fix though spite being nervous. However, a bit of bad news turns out she will be out for 4 MONTHS not 4 weeks (bit of miscommunication on their part) She will also be spending over night at the hospital, but that is to be suspected. I have called off work on the day of the surgery, and on that note my boss is awesome, and has apparently had something similar done so he completely understands, and approved my time off no questions asked, and nothing against me.
She made a update in her blog following it if any of you would like to read her own words on it. http://transparentisbeautiful.tumbl.....untdown-begins
Also we are still welcoming help, and it would be super awesome of you, and to those that have donated already we cannot thank you enough, and i am thinking of a way to repay those who have been so generous in this situation. That being said, if there is anything i can do by all means LET ME KNOW!

Surgery Later this month. Help needed please!
General | Posted 10 years ago I am here on mostly the behalf of my fiance, but since we work as a team you can say this is also me asking for help just as much as her.
Later this month she will be having surgery on her spine for something she has been fighting with for a very long time. It is really needed, or else more issues can occur which can result in permanent damage to her spinal cord. I honestly suck at wording things, so later in this message i have some of her own words giving more details on the situation, but i will also put mine in as well since i am doing this for the both of us.
Anyway, the issue is money. We both work long hours, and when it is both of us there is no problem, however after this surgery she will be out for four or more weeks, also the dreaded baggage of expenses of the surgery is looming over my head just as much as bills i will have to take 100% of while she is recovering. So i figured i would come to you guys for maybe getting some help, or even a signal boost.
She has created a GoFundMe page which can be found here
http://www.gofundme.com/qmtkxc?fb_a.....fb_ref=fb_cr_n
I know this is kind of odd asking since she is not directly a part of the fandom, and doesnt even have an FA but she does a lot on meets i host to make sure everyone has the best of time and goes out of her way to do so. She does have a DA account, but i cannot remember the link of it (if any sort of verifying is needed) however she does have a fanfiction.net account. Not much has been posted in awhile since we both have been very busy, but if it is needed it can be found here.
https://www.fanfiction.net/~jynxxi13
She also made a tumblr for documented the road ahead. So here is that
http://transparentisbeautiful.tumblr.com/
Far as what donations is going for (since everyone has a right to know if they donate) is mostly summed up in the description of the gofundme page. It will also be used to help keep bills paid, food on the table, her medical expenses afterwards, ect as a supplement of what i make on my paycheck every 2 weeks. Any help is GREATLY appreciated and a very big help no matter what it is.
She also had some of her own words she wanted me to pass down. So the rest of this message is directly from her explaining more.
""To really understand the gravity of my situation, you have to look way back. At least 11 or so years ago, back to when I was an avid figure skater. It's a beautiful, elegant, and graceful sport. But contrary to popular belief, it's also incredibly strenuous on the body. The falls, the landing of jumps, the long term injuries. Which brings me to when I believe it happened.
One night during a routine practice session, I happened to take one very hard fall to the tail bone, right on the edge of a step that led onto the ice. How it happened is a complicated discussion. All that needs to be known is that my back was never the same after that night. The next morning, and every day since then, I have experienced a dull and aching, sometimes a throbbing and shooting pain in my lower back that no doctor could seem to explain. So I ignored it. Dealt with it. Ignored it.
That brings me up to date. All of my years of negligence have created a crippling condition called Lumbar Spinal Stenosis. The odds were already against me by way of genetics. I was born with scoliosis. My back was already weak to begin with. But now, I'm 23 years old and I can't kneel down without knowing I'll have help standing up. It's excruciating. It's nauseating. It's embarrassing. I wouldn't wish this kind of pain on my worst enemies. Because let me tell you, it affects every aspect of my life. From walking, to sleeping, to walking, even standing is difficult. I didn't understand what this condition was in the beginning, or what it really meant for my future. And then I decided to suck it up and learn.
Lumbar Spinal Stenosis is a painful condition in which the disks between the lumbar vertebrae become compressed. They flatten under pressure and can often herniate. My affected disk is between the L4 and L5 lumbar, very low in my spine. And it's progressed enough that it pinches off my spinal cord. Strange sensations shoot down my leg, often leading to tingling and/or numbness. It's crippling when you're in the middle of your work shift. What I learned about this condition is that there are ways to manage it. To live with it. Epidural steroid injections are among the most common forms of pain management for this issue. I will be honest, it's not a pleasant experience. Followed by 1-2 days of painful soreness that really prevents you from functioning other that turning over in bed. Not fun. Not including damaging to your bones after a while.
Pain medication.
For a while, I was taking Vicodin. Which worked. But had a terrible side effect. Constipation. Ohh my goodness, unimaginable constipation. So after a few months of this, I sought out another option and was prescribed Hydrocodone. Anyone knows that these narcotics are no joking matter. Can't be taken lightly or irresponsibly. Personally, I don't enjoy taking the medication, I hate feeling like I'm reliant on a little white pill to at least feel like a human being for a few hours. But truly, even the pain medication runs its course. I'm tired of being a slave to my pain.
So what else was there to try? Gabapentin, or, Neurotin. And it does what everyone says it does. It works. But it also drains me of every ounce of energy that I possess. I've slept a collective 12 hours a day since I started this medicine over a week ago. And the dizziness is something else. Like I'm on a constantly drifting boat, it never seems t
o stop.
I was at my wits end. Until now.
23 years old. And will have to endure corrective spinal surgery with the hope, the possibility of a normal life. There's always room for error or backtracking with this condition. My doctor was against this, until he realized how terribly miserable I have become. And just how sorry he feels for me. 23 years old and I walk around looking like an elderly woman, hunched over with the hopes of relieving the pain just a little. ""
Thank you for taking the time to read this, and both of us could not thank you enough if it can be signal boost.
Sincerely, Angelo
Later this month she will be having surgery on her spine for something she has been fighting with for a very long time. It is really needed, or else more issues can occur which can result in permanent damage to her spinal cord. I honestly suck at wording things, so later in this message i have some of her own words giving more details on the situation, but i will also put mine in as well since i am doing this for the both of us.
Anyway, the issue is money. We both work long hours, and when it is both of us there is no problem, however after this surgery she will be out for four or more weeks, also the dreaded baggage of expenses of the surgery is looming over my head just as much as bills i will have to take 100% of while she is recovering. So i figured i would come to you guys for maybe getting some help, or even a signal boost.
She has created a GoFundMe page which can be found here
http://www.gofundme.com/qmtkxc?fb_a.....fb_ref=fb_cr_n
I know this is kind of odd asking since she is not directly a part of the fandom, and doesnt even have an FA but she does a lot on meets i host to make sure everyone has the best of time and goes out of her way to do so. She does have a DA account, but i cannot remember the link of it (if any sort of verifying is needed) however she does have a fanfiction.net account. Not much has been posted in awhile since we both have been very busy, but if it is needed it can be found here.
https://www.fanfiction.net/~jynxxi13
She also made a tumblr for documented the road ahead. So here is that
http://transparentisbeautiful.tumblr.com/
Far as what donations is going for (since everyone has a right to know if they donate) is mostly summed up in the description of the gofundme page. It will also be used to help keep bills paid, food on the table, her medical expenses afterwards, ect as a supplement of what i make on my paycheck every 2 weeks. Any help is GREATLY appreciated and a very big help no matter what it is.
She also had some of her own words she wanted me to pass down. So the rest of this message is directly from her explaining more.
""To really understand the gravity of my situation, you have to look way back. At least 11 or so years ago, back to when I was an avid figure skater. It's a beautiful, elegant, and graceful sport. But contrary to popular belief, it's also incredibly strenuous on the body. The falls, the landing of jumps, the long term injuries. Which brings me to when I believe it happened.
One night during a routine practice session, I happened to take one very hard fall to the tail bone, right on the edge of a step that led onto the ice. How it happened is a complicated discussion. All that needs to be known is that my back was never the same after that night. The next morning, and every day since then, I have experienced a dull and aching, sometimes a throbbing and shooting pain in my lower back that no doctor could seem to explain. So I ignored it. Dealt with it. Ignored it.
That brings me up to date. All of my years of negligence have created a crippling condition called Lumbar Spinal Stenosis. The odds were already against me by way of genetics. I was born with scoliosis. My back was already weak to begin with. But now, I'm 23 years old and I can't kneel down without knowing I'll have help standing up. It's excruciating. It's nauseating. It's embarrassing. I wouldn't wish this kind of pain on my worst enemies. Because let me tell you, it affects every aspect of my life. From walking, to sleeping, to walking, even standing is difficult. I didn't understand what this condition was in the beginning, or what it really meant for my future. And then I decided to suck it up and learn.

I am so sick of snow and winter @_@
General | Posted 11 years agoOh yeah, i am not a wolf-sickle yet, but slowly getting there. More snow followed up by freezing rain and sleet later in the week. then we shall see what happens when all this crap melts. Has been a bit of a pain getting to places such as.. work or general supplies. Have to pretty much ralley drive to get up the long ass drivway which most of is on a hill and that is after breaking out the heavy equipment to clear the (in some areas) knee high snow drift. It has made me miss some of my days so i doubt i will be taking off for any events anytime soon, and hope to god i do not get sick. gah... come get me when it is spring 29 days of streaght sleep sounds nice.

My Watchers Are Fantastic
General | Posted 11 years ago No.. seriously you guys are! I appreciate everything. =D There.. a random journal.
Open Artist wanted! (worth checking for a chance of monies)
General | Posted 11 years ago Alright, so here is the deal. I am looking for an artist that is open for commissions for something that has been floating around in my head for awhile. I am sure you are thinking "why not do it yourself?" Well, for a couple of reasons; A: i need to give to the community more think of it as a SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY deal. B: As of late i have been too busy with work to do much for myself. C: Why question it!? =p I would go out and hunt down an artist, but due to the nature of what i want, i figured it would be best to outline it in a journal and if someone out there reads it and feels confident enough; note me and we will get into more detail discussion.
Before you start thinking this is a commissioner full control thing, wipe that from your mind. I just have a basic outline that covers what i want roughly. The rest is all up to you! So lets go over what i am looking for in an artist;
1: One that has experience in canines; to be more specific maned wolves.
2: One that has experience in doing cars with characters (that is what made looking for someone complicated. I do have a reference on that though just a helpful fyi)
3: One that has a good imagination!
Does any of that sound like you, and if you can do it i WILL pay you. Just comment below with some of your references, and if i like the style i will note you for further details. If knowing the car helps, there is two options both of which i own and can get as many pictures as needed to aid you. 1971 Charger RT or 1970 Challenger RT/SE (so old muscle cars is the tone here).
I think that pretty much covers it, if i missed anything or if you are interested but have questions feel free to ask! =DMerry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
General | Posted 11 years agoJust popping in to give my best wishes to everyone no matter how you celebrate this season. Please, if you are going out drive safe, and don't drink and drive! As for myself i am going through this christmas with a case of strep throat (yayyyy) but it could always be worse i suppose! I will try to get to work on those requests i have some more after new years, since this time of year has been keeping me way too busy to do too much.
