if not this year then defiantly 100% certin 2014. *waves his walking stick around "back in my day us furries used to hold all thoes big cons in a friends house as meets"* heheh.

So far my sister and I have been to most major theme parks in california and all of the parks in australia. In september 2012 we did euro disney paris and it got me thinking, weve almost done every disney land that I can think of. Next to see very soon is disney land hong kong thats easy but isney world florida that might have to go on the to do list or very soon.

Travel this year,
Plenty of that happening in 2013. Gold coast to see cousins, cairns to see cousin and her new baby yet to be born, melbourne for a supersprint at philip island (car is being hauled on trailer) thredbo with aunt for our anual ski trip. Then to new zeland with dad for more skiing and thrill seeking.

So its all happening this year evidently. Cant wait to say iv been to every disneyland still though ^^

Morning,

Today is my partners 21st birthday. What a monumentous occassion. <3 you forever and always my love.

Yea mate,

iv been rocking my awsome little cannon eos for i think 4 years now and love it. nothing too fancy just a nice sharp coulorful picture almost every time.
cannon threw in a gorgeous little leather case for it, not one of thoes bulky ones with straps and pockets that no one wants this just protects it. i even love the case because it keeps everything nice and small.

sadly year and a half ago i lent it to my sister for afew months, it came back with every corner of the metal case showing big signs of being droped multiable times on concrete the menu button didnt work properly because she's spily some sort of sugary drink on it and the case on one side is coming apart alittle.
prity upset about it because i just realy like that camera :(

time has passed and im having to upgrade because of leaving and going over seas for a long time and just dont want the cannon giving up over there.
so... ladies and gentle man... canines and felines... *small quiet drum roll* the new cameras are: Nikon Aw100, tough and 10m water proof, gps built in 16mp 10x optical zoom 1080HD video and opted for a 8gb class 8 card (google if you want more). but wait there is more. the aw100 isnt the best for stunning vivid coulor pictures and lowish light. its a great go everywere do everything.

im sick of the D3100 SLR's are gorgeous and fun to use but i want to have clear pics easy at the end of the day. so to replace the SLR last night i purchased a: Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX5. its an older modle from panasonic and my unit is brand new (they still sell them in some places) both my mother and aunt own this camera. and its just breath taking, so versatile with an incredible idiot mode (auto) but at the same time manual and other settings are avaliable. its more point and shoot than SLR. one of thoes mirror-less fancy new things. picked this one up with a 16gb class 10 card (google the camera and have a geez at it)

the results and awsome happy snaps will be posted up here eventualy, and the SLR will be sold to my sister for a fair price as she is studying and im a good brother :3

is there anything special i should look at? any camera thats particularly special or a must have?

kickstarter is a fantastic website, helping people get great ideas and products started. iv backed accouple but as furries im sure everyone here would like to see this end result of this one
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects.....men-in-suits-0

MEN IN SUITS will examine the history and craft of suit performers from the Creature of the Black Lagoon to Pan's Labyrinth. Through interviews with these actors we will showcase the skill, strength and art required of them.

Some people like change and some dont. Iv been thinking about this for afew years now, was sure i didnt mind it and in some cases welcomed it. Mabey its the rough patch im going through now or mabey it could be reality but im comming closer to a conclusion. Kinda sure i dont like change. Like new experiences but complete change -shakes head- everything is moving so fast at the moment, family, work, buisness, politics, consumables and friends everything is changing so much so fast that the world is getting away from me.

Suppose the best thibg we can all do is influence possitive change and just forget about the past and adapt.

been up, down and all around for a while now. my emotions are just all over the place and i cant even think of why its im feeling like this. the changes arnt even caused by events ill just be alright one moment and the next ill be upset, then later confused (about nothing) then tired (realy early in the day and very tired) then the above again in any random order.
friends think it might be depression and it might be but its not like what iv experienced in the past.
hope i can pull myself back together.

In the prosses of assembling a new rig for myself, this HP lappy and all HP products have just gotten the best of me.
in the time to come the specs will be revealed

G'day,

as furrys most of us keep an eye on whats going on in the community, even when its on the other side of the world. but its always very easy to tell AC is on because of the shear lack of submission and journals coming out.
not a complaint just an observation.

Gents,

Is it just me or has the quality of uploaded content to this site gone down hill.
home page refresh refresh refresh watching the new stuff get uploaded along with my watch list (watch list is prity good) and there is just less and less furry stuff or relivent stuff for that matter being posted. stupid scribble, promotional content (a soft drink company ad is not furry nor art), game play pictures and other misc stuff thats just bad and irrelevant to all furs.
come on guys lets pick it up abit,

G'day,

Today myself and all my colleagues one by one were asked into the boss'es office and told that we were all having our hours drastically cut. without getting into the legistics and how im employed the end out come is iv taken a $1000 per month pay cut with potential to lose more to come.

draged myself through an under paid and over worked trainee ship came out the other side and ,started to save, racked up $13,000 in savings very quickly now not long after all this boom back to trainee dollars. working less but making the same money.

not depressed or down just realy shaken, my best friend at work is probably going to lose his appartment (mortgage) if he doesnt get a new job paying the same or more money, or get his old hours back very soon he will deffinatly lose the appartment. my plans for my first investment have been put on hold as well. had plans of purchasing my first property by the end of this year or early next but thoes have to be postpond.

even with the current situation ill be earning more than enough money to live, job with money is better than no job. so ill be keeping at it and seeing what happens.

this sucks

probably read this in my past journals but its deff's not getting any better.
no one lives any were near me, i have no friends, nothing do to, no social life nothing.
all the toys, stuff and time in the world and no one to share any of it with.
not 1 but 3 full fursuits. no one to go to the beach with, no one to skate with, no one to travel with.

i make a point of going skiing every single year its the highlight of my life and i have absolutely no one to go with. fucken watching video shot on a go pro of myself alone in a different country skiing talking to myself "oh look and here's were i ski down the beginners slope backwards to the whole way" great

friday nights are the worst night of the week. everyone is out doing something and im stuck at home no one to see and nothing to do. honestly being active alone after a while will render you insane, its awful.

was going to catch up with some friends, a very very long way away in 2 weeks BUT mothers day in on sunday so now i cant :D my plans have been puched back another 2 weeks again. thats 5 weeks till any social interaction. been 2 weeks since iv seen anyone today. 2 fucken weeks. iv might aswell be in a nursing home with a bad family who never vists.

im fine honestly but i just have no friends or anyone to spend time with or do anything with.
getting fater and fater every day because i have nothing to do and no one to do it with.
"hey diego lose weight, fatty" fuck me... i would love to do something. think i like sitting at home in front of a computer? hell no. hate being in front of the computer its a curse. a substitute for a non existent social life.

its at the point now were i feel violent all the time because i have nothing to do or look forward to, just want to destroy everything and every one. so many people i want to inflict eminence pain on, iv been the victum is many many criminals, ranging from family to perceived friends all the way up to genuine criminals. iv been the victim of fraud numerous times aswell. school was living hell to this day i sill want to burn that shit hole to the ground. to this day i still will not talk with anyone in my year at school. did not attend the formal did not go back to get my hsc (had it mailed out insted of picking it up at the ceremony) dont talk to anyone there it was hell.

if school had to go one for just one more week i would not have made it, i would have just laid down and died. it wasnt academic pressure it was just bullying more bullying, being tormented, sexual abuse, verbal abuse from teachers poor conduct from teachers (no good when your religion teacher starts secretly sleeping with your mum aeee?)

i just dont feel comfortable being close friends with someone whos not a furry, i dont feel i can converse and relate to them. im just not comfortable because its such a huge part of my life. yet im lacking just that. friends, i dont have a problem being friendly or making them there are just none around

Now that i have your attention.
Got lots to do this weekend working and seeing a close and dear friend aswell on saturday.
Will be taking lobba over to his so he can have a bath. Got filthy at mardi gras so his going to be going for a swim. hehehe

Nice clean fursuit :D

Its dead, flat lined, non existant.
i have no friends that live local or even within 1 hour of me. most furs in sydney are dicks and i want absoutly nothing to do with them.
work is alright though as my cliants are prity cool.
racing is fun but its only once a month at best.
im sick of travling, just completly over it and its expensive and puts wear on my car and takes forever and is impractical. its a nightmare
over all this

G'day everyone,

i go by afew names amongst friends and the community, like: wolfie, wolf, diego, you, dog, fluff butt and "the fursuit nazi". im yet to meet someone else who is more opinionated or fussy about fursuits, who builds what, how you work it as the "performer", quality, appearance the works. i may not be building them in mass yet nor am i an experienced builder but i do own 4 suits from 4 big name builders and have handled and worn numerous more,

so iv constructed a list of builders whom you may or may not know yet. everyone on this list i believe is worth their salt. there are afew missing because unless youve been living under a rock you would already know them (mixed candy for example) so here is a list of builders id recommend. some more than others but none the less they all get the thumbs up:

G'day guys,

http://www.joy.org.au/

---Edit---

just adding this as its whats realy fired me up. iv always been a suporter of gay marriage but never someone who would realy "scream" it out, just exist and be positive about it, suppose you could say is im not an active activist. well thats all changing the church is playing dirty and its time all the quiet supports like myself stand up do something and get counted.

last year around the start of august i was in NZ on a skiing and extreme sports adventure holiday.
for thoes who dont know in NZ they weight you for almost everything so its not just 1 set of bias scales but after the trip and being weighed 4 differnt times on good scales, last year august i was 93kg and thats massive. biggest id ever been before that was 88kg thats very very porky.

since then i have gained alot more weight and if i havent tiped the 100kg mark it will be nothing short of a mirical.

know what i have to do know how i need to do it but just need to get the ball rolling.
night mare, i hate being like this i own 2 pairs of non work pants that fit and even my fursuit is getting way too snug. feel like shit and want to lift my appearance and feel better aswell. problem is in stuck under a roof and required to look and be senciable most of the time when at work. fucken hate it with a passion. iim a very active and alive person but work and time prevents it.

trust me id rater be skiing down a mountain in -20c weather goin hard any day than sitting on a lounge or sitting down period. but no need $$$ so have to work :(
would be good if i could do an active job but weather or not that will be sustainable in the long run not sure.

it absolutely positively must be work doing this to me. as iv never been this inactive involuntarily.

Just curious how many people actually read my journals. please post a reply if you read my write ups. id appreshaite it very much.

i never take part in these silly chain mail things but this one inparticular has caught my eye, please read carefuly through mine as they differ alot from other peoples.
