Alright, just a random journal to toss aside the mo one and see what's up.

I LEAVE FOR RENO THIS SUNDAY!

What this means in that, for at least 24 hours I will not be available, ALSO, I'm not sure yet, but I PROBABLY will not be able to pay for/accept commissions if they get completed while I am gone. The reason being ONE: I will not have my PC, so saving them would take me a while. TWO: Most of the money I have is going to just eating and buying stuff in Reno. THREE: I will probably only be able to get on FA a few times a day or just like, once if lucky. XD So contact will be semi-limited unless I find a PC to sit in front of all day. I could always try to get a netbook or something, but again, not sure what the net access is gonna be like and saving issue occurs again, because I'll forget to put it on my home PC probably. XD

ANYWHO, yeah, from June 6th 'till about... I'd say the 20th, I will be unable to pay or accept finished commission work, or so I think. But once I get back, yeah, will be glad to take whatever comes in. I will be a bit sad that I may miss some streams though, and chances to get art in certain ones. XD

I'm also planning to visit CT in October for FurFright, so we'll see how that goes!

Just need to vent, and I'd APPRECIATE no one doing one of those stupid comments I've had before.

So uh, let's see. Good points about me: I'm kind, fair, can be fun, usually pretty easy-going, and well, am usually pretty chill.

The bad: I've become very vindictive, very sinical. I'm in a VERY pissy mood right now and good god I just want to rage on so many people ,but don' in good nature and knowing it would ruin me quite harshly. Also eh, I just seem to be hating a lot of things in general ,taking shit personally when I shouldn't and whatnot.

Anyway, just venting, and some of you reading this COULD be the in the set of people I'm pissed at, just so ya know. o:

Anyway, have a nice day, thanks for wasting like, a minute to read this.

Okay, so for Friday and this morning, Saturday, I was in Bozeman visiting  fayv !

It was fun! Like, I learned Bozeman is just as dull as where I currently live, but it was still cool! So like let's see:

On the way: IT RAINED Like 80% of my trip was RAIN going up there. I got splashed by so many semis, they slowed my truck down with each pass. Also, yes, my TINY ASS Mitsubishi Mighty Max got me there and back! So yeah, despite unfavorable weather conditions, I made it there and had a fun time. :3

Visiting Fay: Fay is actually like, SUPER chill. XD I was more hyper and stuff than her. We had an interesting time guiding me to her place though. Bozmean has SUCH a weird layout. D:

Movie: So, we decided to go see a movie, she really wanted to see that new Prince of Persia, I figured why not? I actually really liked that movie. Pretty good flick, recommend watching it. Some things I got from the movie are just some nifty parkour things, a few jokes, and the best part of all; DUSTAAAAN!

Other stuff: So we got dinner at Burger Bob's, was pretty delicious and met  maverickcowboy there. We learned a bit about the guy, then Fay was all tired, so I got her home, let her nap, and went go-karting with Mave. Talk about some intense stuff ,man! o: I then returned to Fay's, watched some TV, checked some FA, and went to bed. I wound up switching between the couch and floor once. I somehow felt the floor looked comfortable for an hour of my sleep.

Return: So yeah, went and got some IHOP for breakfast, yummy stuff, then hung around 'till 3, watched an episode of Scrubs, then went home. All in all a fun time, better than just sitting at home. :3

Also, because I thought this was the most amazing part of the trip...

So I took off to Bozeman at around 8:30am, after waking up, showering, and heading right out. On the way there I drank a Red Bull, keep in mind it was raining the ENTIRE trip up there as well. Then I got there and we went to that movie at 4:30pm. Now that's 8 hours without doing something very important. URINATING.

Yes, 3/4 through the movie my bladder finally said "DUDE, I need emptying!" and I was like "SHIT!". So after the movie, I attempt to go the bathroom, which was just, no. So many guys standing there, and only a urinal available. YIKES. D:

So I hold it in while Fay goes to her own needs in the other bathroom, then I walk and instantly drag us to the Barnes and Nobles next door to go piss there, which thankfully was available, phew. SO YEAH, I held in a piss for 9-10 hours, technically, and it was FUN! XD

Just a quick journal and stuff. I'm heading out of town, towards ,Billings, to go meet  fayv ! I know there are like, a handful of other Billings' furs, so I'm wearing my Citra Brand shirt from Keovi, I think it is? XD Anyway, hope they spot me! :3

Now then, to the road!

Oh gee go figure!

Anyway, I'm not sure if anyone out there plays but I was looking into maybe starting in Magic: The Gathering, the TCG, obviously. XD

And being the typical furry I am, I was curious.... running with all the current formats and whatnot, what kind of cards would I need to run something that revolved around Dragons and Felines? Reptiles are permissible, but I wanna focus on dragons and felines for the theme of it. I probly won't mind how it plays or what colors are needed. XD

Also, Yu-Gi-Oh released a new set, as well as Pokemon, and I found this new "Watt" stuff in Yu-Gi-Oh, so I'm pondering on making a deck out of it. XD I would SO rape me a Wattfox. 8D

Are required to play games anymore, especially Modern Warfare 2. You sit in a room, you wait for people like lambs to slaughter and you win.

Gaming industry, I am disappoint. :I

So yeah, looks like I'm running out of game to play. Fuck.

Right, well firstly, yeah, it seems the battery in my truck is dead, so I'll probly need a new one. If it's the alternator, it's fucked. Also, it's fucking SNOWING AGAIN IN GREAT FALLS. :I

Anyway, just decided laying out my travel plans as of late would be fun.

Soooo this weekend I'm going over to Bozeman (Another local city) to visit , met her through and like yeah, should be fun.

Got my plans in June still going. Heading down to Reno for 2-ish weeks. :3 I'll be down there by the 7th/8th.

Not sure on the exact leave/arrival dates for this one, but heading to my hometown, Chicago, in July for 2 or 3 weeks. Fuck yeah I know there are a lot of furs in the area, you better say hi!

And lastly, I'm planning, PLANNING eagerly on going to FurFright, because it'll be in CT, and I wanna go and meet some peoples in CT. D:

So like yeah, we'll see how all this goes. XD

Okay so everyone should know by now, Hale Reach beta is releasing today, need ODST, blah blah blah. I'll be trying to play it later on today.

Also, just because I'm like, damn curious, and no this will not effect my view on any of oyu and I will not take anything personally, but I want to know...

What do you think of me? Am I a complete, ugly pervert? Am I a fun-loving friend? Am I just the guy who hands you money? Let me know, I just feel like seeing what people think of me as myself and me as Duez. :3

FUCK THESE QUARTER TURNS... AND THESE HALF TURNS!

OKay, so I'm not really a Street Fighter guy, I'm more for Brawl (lawl, not a fighter) and Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 (Which I'm bad at, but like). But I heard about Super Street FIghter 4, saw Dudley, and figured "Okay, I have to at least TRY."

Short Story: I'm terrible as balls at this game.

Long Story: So I rented the game, will be playing it all this week / weekend, and really wanted to finally try my hand at a Higher Up fighting game. My play style is not meant for this game. I JUMP... a LOT. I rely on quick, easy to use button combos, and I tend to do DIAGONALS instead of QUARTER TURNS. Obviously this is bad because a lot of moves require that. I'm using an Xbox 360 controller, and a lot of people are saying that's my major problem, but I think it's just me.

The game is FUN, to a point. I still have a lot of practicing to do before I get it all good and ready. I'm thinking I may just do what I do in MvC2. Stick to the basics, no super moves unless I have the time for them, and trying not to button mash.

I'll learn what I need eventually, I doubt I'll be getting 'Pro' at the game or anything, but I'd like to KNOW what I'm doing at least. This is why I like Brawl. Simple shit, no need for fancy combos, and its' fun if you're not losing every match. XD

So yeah, if anyone has any advice as to how I could step up my game or teach me some nifty no super-combo movements, that might help. And YES< I tried the Challenges, I learned a little from them, Only got through like half because the rest require PRECISION quarter turns! D: <

Agh, i fuggin' hate getting those drops for y'know ,checking for infection and dilating them. D: Anyway, yesterday was weird, lotta going "I can't do it, I'm fuzzy eyed." for a few hours. My new glasses are ordered, I'm going all natural for this week and uh, good times. XD

Aaand uh.... ARTISTS DO ART! Etc etc etc.

Okay, so firstly, I just broke my glasses. Was just doing that shirt cleaning thing and SNAP, lens falls out ,frame broke, and the left piece came off. XD

SO yeah ,gonna hafta renew that ASAP.

As for the Spy thing, well I'm now on STEAM, for those of you who must know. I do not want to give out my name publicly yet, but yeah, been playing TF2 mostly, trying to get used to it, wanna work with the Spy a lot! :3

And the fries, well... I'm hungry. D: Gonna go get lunch soon.

Otherwise uh, I know one of my truck tires was going flat, that will be taken care of, woopee, and I Still wanna get my Wereskag idea done! Still taking any offers! <3 Here's the tidbit from my last Journal:

"Maybe I just suck at the game. D: But I love it so. Claptraps amuse me and uh, I LOVED the Dr. Ned Zombie Island one because it introduced WERESKAGS. I wasn't a big fan of normal Skags, but holy shit I want to makes gross, sickly, love to one. D: <

Who wants to draw that? I know I have someone on here who lvoes to draw beastly beasts. X3

The two I really liked were Hank Reiss (Has the awesome hat) and Jackie O'Callahan (A priest gone Wereskag)

Refs of them are: http://borderlands.wikia.com/wiki/J.....e_O%27Callahan and http://borderlands.wikia.com/wiki/Hank_Reiss

So yeah, let me know if anyone is interested. We can even throw a Claptrap in so he can be all "OMG I'm recording it!" XD "

I was playing Borderlands yesterday and like, I stopped 10 minutes after starting...

I have the new General Knoxx thing, and I want to play it but... when you can't even cross the highway without getting raped by those Crimson Lance in their super-pwnage vehicle that can one shot you on foot... YEAH.

Maybe I just suck at the game. D: But I love it so. Claptraps amuse me and uh, I LOVED the Dr. Ned Zombie Island one because it introduced WERESKAGS. I wasn't a big fan of normal Skags, but holy shit I want to makes gross, sickly, love to one. D: <

Shot my gun for the very first time! 8D

So, some of you may know that I purchased a Ruger 10/22 Rifle last week, and was all like "Yay, first gun, gonna go shoot!", though I had to delay my plans for last weekend. BUT I went yesterday, a BEAUTIFUL Sunday, sun was shining, wind was low, and we went about an hour out of town. Oh god the place was lovely. Great for camping, even though I never do it.

So yeah, shot it, NEVER recoiled, even one-handed it time to time! XD

So yay, I can now fire a gun for reals. :P Can't wait to try more guns now. X3

I'm tempted to get a few images of Duez in sexually-related images related to like, Modern Warfare 2 with some of my favorite weapons. o:

Also, June is nearing, which means soon I shall be in Reno! I've made plans to meet one person already, kinda, but yeah, two-ish weeks down there, lemme know if you're there! :3

And yeah, people on my list for commissions, get done and stuff, not trying to rush but some are carrying into months here. XD But I know several/most of you are already on good lines with me, so there is only a few I need to pester. XD

Alrighty! Quick life related update!

I now am a happy owner of my first gun, a Ruger 10/22! :3

I haven't fired it yet due to that snowfall out of nowhere, but I plan to maybe before this weekend or on the weekend. I'm told this gun will be like ,perfect to use, so I look forward to it. Already learned most of the gun. Reloading, aiming (Still working on that since I can't rest my head right), and messing with the loading chamber and whatnot. 8D

My mother is a bit worried about me having a gun, but I honestly think that, due to some troubled past I know nothing about, she's just being overly-cautious. I will not be careless with this thing!

Also, how is your day so far? 8D

So like, I'm getting a gun, yay. 8D Just a standard 10/22 Rifle. :3

Mother Nature is kinda cranky today though. We've got some light snow here, so I'm not sure if I'll be able to even get to go out and shoot it today! My first time an THIS happens. XD I'm confident though. We just won't be able to shoot gophers (A Montana pastime, it seems) I AM a little self-conscious about doing it, though, because y'know... AM FURRY! XD

Anyway yeah, woohoo guns and snow.

So... playing Modern Warfare 2... it's a pretty simple game. I SUCK at it, but yeah, all you gotta do is, get this, SIT IN A ROOM AND WAIT FOR PEOPLE TO RUN IN THERE!

And then like, if you feel ballsy, you an run around with a special knife ready to go and STAB EVERYONE! They even give you all these special perks to make it possible!

FUCK I HATE THIS GAME! Why do I keep playing it? D:

(And yes, I can totally legitimately say that I do neither of these. I use tactical, so knifing is not a click away, and I'm too hyper to sit still. XD )

So like, yeah... When I was working yesterday I was doing manual labor as opposed to office work. Now ,during all this lifting ,moving, etc, I forgot my iPod Shuffle was clipped to my side. So after being rubbed up enough and whatnot, the silliest thing happens. I get into the elevator (We were on the 4th floor) and it POPPED off, flew RIGHT into the crack cetween floor and elevator and FELL. ALL THE WAY to the BASEMENT!

I was just staring a coworker snickering and I looked to him and went "yeah I think I just fucked my iPod."

SO we go get the guy with the keys to the basement, get into the shaft (hurrhurrhurr) and find it, face down, PERFECTLY fine. XD It had a new corner scratch or two, but otherwise it still works and is in one piece. For once, Apple has astounded me! XD

So like, I know I'm no where near ready for this but I want a new vehicle.

Yes the truck is fine, yes things are okay, but honestly, this truck isn't going to last long, and it can barely get onto the highway, that and it can only hold me and one passenger and it way tiny. D:

Soooo looking at some sedans, hatchbacks, stuff like that. Sadly though, with a price range of 5000 and lower, yeeeeeah. XD This also means I'll be backing away, but still getting commissions, just a few less. Seems most of my ideas are out there anyway. :3

I believe I have about a total of $200 still owed to artists, but that'll be paid eventually, most of it is just waiting on completion.

And otherwise I just need to have money for June-September for my plans of traveling. :3 So I figured now might be a good time to get some used, 50,000 + mile car. :3

But uh, any thoughts for like, what I can get? I have restrictions to like:

Must be manual
No rear wheel drive
4 + seats
something between 1990 and 2005
Dodge, Mitsubishi, and foreign brands preferred, no Ford XD

Haha, that video is so cool.

Anyway, keepin' this short 'n' sweet. Just not in the best mood, sometimes I truly wonder if I AM Bi-polar. D: Then again, most of my problems are either related to one of like, 5 certain people, or are dealing with my over-competitive nature. :I

I really need to do something else, like go to Billings when those Montana furs meet up there. D:

Anyway, been playing Modern Warfare 2, Heart Gold, and like, just being so drained in my days. I stay up late and still manage to get to work x.x

Anyway, don't want this to start sounding like those other journals I keep reading from certain people so uh... done. o:

Cat noises are fun, bro.

So it's Saturday, I' going to the shop as I usually do, just not with my YuGiOh stuff, fuck that game. :I

Also, while listening to that "Sonic Doesn't Need a Story" song, i wondered "Why did they create Amy Rose if they already HAD a love interest for Sonic in the comics? TIME PARADOXING" Now keep in mind I could care less, but the logic of it just fails to me. XD

Also, I totally wanna perv on some more character, I remembered a few yesterday, like Keroberos, so tiny and cute, and a second form who's also studly. 8D

Apparently I'm an asshole and possible egotistical jackass. Woops.

So yeah, I guess I'm not allowed to vent anymore, and random people who aren't even watching me or know me just find my stuff and have to grind me into the ground.

Anyway, tired as per usual from my late night silliness with friends, got work now, woot for another blah day. XD

Hey look, all T's... Sweet.

Anyway, just kind of a random journal, some thoughts and whatnot.

Firstly, I'd just like to point out to all artists on my list that I will now be doing weekly checkups. This only applies to those who've taken more than a week to complete something, though. I know life gets hectic, I know things get crazy, but I also know some of you still work on other things while I'm waiting on mine. I'm kind, patient, and whatnot ,but set your priorities! o: At the LEAST all I ask is a note, a comment, SOMETHING that at least tells me "I'm still working on it" or I'll usually catch one of those journals stating how things went sour in your life. XD

Also, on top of that, after looking at my budgeting and possible job status, I may need to cut back from commissions soon. THIS IS WHY I'M PESTERING YOU GUYS! XD I'm going to possibly be unable to keep up this rate of art getting, and I really do want to get what I can while I'm here. X3

I should just go for one of the art slave for a month things. XD

Uhm, lessee, family is still stressing about stuff, life goes on, I get a little more and a little less depressive each day. I quit Yu-Gi-Oh, it's just so gawd-awfully retarded that it's redundant to torture myself with it anymore.

I've been trying to get back into drawing stuff, really need to start practicing on my new tablet (Got a Bamboo Pen and Touch, cheap little thing). No muse fails though, or I give up too fast.

And lastly, because I don't want to drag this out too much, characters I'm hunting to get art with!

Cheshy, as per usual!
Jake
Ivysaur
Meowth
Sierra (Style is VERY hard to imitate, I know, but I'd love it)
Corniel (As long as it looks similar to the style, I'm not picky!)
Jubei (I am SUPER picky on this. Jubei is like 40+, not FUCKING 8! Get it right people!)
Amingo (Not porn, but something cool would rock 8D)
Bull

Okay, so for people who know me well, or know me kinda period, you know how much i LOVE that Cheshire Cat that SShawn Keller made, right?

Well, recently I discovered THIS: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oh79_r8pKds

OMG AWESOME! 8D I would ADORE seeing a FEATURE FILM from Keller. 8D

All be it this video is apparently a few years old, it was only posted onto YOuTube recently by this guy, and I'm just like "OH GOD COME OUT PLEASE!" Also, if Cheshy features, i would love and yet hate that, since the publicity would get him more Rule34, probly with people I'd hate being seen with him, oh sadface. D:

Alright, this will be deleted later probably, or replaced with the journal before it!

BUT FOR NOW!

HAPPY ZANGOOSE DAY! Apparently a bunch of us internet people and Japansees artists wanted Zangoose to have a day, and it is TODAY! March 9th. (They already celebrated, I guess) So yeah, Duez would love to hump some Zangoose, but fails for drawing. Was considering getting a commission or two for it. D:

Also, Final Fantasy THIRTEEN will now be released to the American public! Woohoo! I have mine fully paid and whatnot ,boss said I can have early lunch to go get it, yay. XD But yeah, LOW expectations of the game, hopefully it raises them high! The moment I see a hot furry SOMEWHERE in there (I hope) I can start asking for porn! XD

Anyway, off to a new boss day I go! XD I may not be online at work as often, since this new boss is a bit wound around keeping busy and not slacking. D: (She has a degree is office management and shit. XD)

Alright, gonna push away my nasty hournal and post this up so I can find some of you guys!

I have plans for June, July, and September to be out of state finally, and i would LOVE for some people to maybe plan and meet me? :3 Also just letting people know what I'll be up to this 2010.

So, in June, I head down to Reno (Hopefully here) with my good friend IRL to visit his folks down back home. He just randomly decided to invite me to go road tripping with him. I figured why not. :3 SO, for 2 weeks (Maybe some added days if he feels like it) I can be located in Reno from June 7th - 18th (or later, maybe). I won't know the address 'till I get there, but I will be there! <3 Anyone in Sacramento I might need to find should lemme know. :3

In July, I will be located back in my hometown I know little about, Chicago! Yes, I'll be in the big city during the peak of Summer! I'll be located at multiple locations, mostly visiting family members galore, but PLEASE feel free to ask for any information of mine (Most likely my Cell Number) and I can try and hook up with a bunch of you Chicago furs! :3 I believe my folks were planning 2 weeks or so in Chicago as well here.

In September, thanks to the advice of a friend and  Sonne, I am making plans to head to RAINFURREST! I'm still deciding my mode of transport but I REALLY wanna go and meet all the Seattle furs and any other furs who show up! :3 Looking forward to going to my first con here. :3

So yeah, there you go, some plans I'm working on this year. :3
