Yup. I did it.
General | Posted 15 years agoYa know, seems there's been drama about the 3D art thing and now a very popular pornogropher had his 3D art pulled recently.
Ya know what... I WAS involved in that battle. And ya know what? Tetsuo WAS an example. Seems some feeble little fanboy got a bee up his butt but lacks the balls to come at me about it.
But here's the thing. MY argument was EVERYONE should have to be equal. Either everyone is allowed to post the art, or they're not allowed to post 3D work... period. My attempt was to be able to get all the 3D artists back on board. ALL of 'em.
MY argument is that the 3D community is a valuable part of the fandom. And that many artists are just getting started and don't know HOW to make a lot of custom stuff, and we're telling them we don't care about their efforts, and to go away, which isn't fair for them. Am I guilty? Well, I did say "It should go one way or the other. Either let 'em post 3D stuff or don't. If you decide 3D art is NOT art and everyone should pull their shit... start with this turncoat over here."
If you think they took me seriously enough to make Tet take his shit down by myself you're a fucking LOON! The admins do not like me. They're more than likely to break the rules just to spite me.
Yeah, I hate foxy boxing. If you haven't figured out why... maybe your brain needs a couple more AA batteries to get it started. That white knighting fanboy knows why, he'll swear up and down but his morals are just as loose as former friends of mine and the little nakey nudie boxers whose legs they hump. They just want attention. So do I but I'm trying to make something better... all they wanna do is make a problem bigger.
I don't have a single solitary person on my block list. They can come at me, they're just afraid to.

It's a wonderful life...
General | Posted 15 years agoIt's a wonderful life. Yup...
My right ankle feels worse than right after my first foot surgery (It's not the worst gout I have had, but it's pretty high up there.), the medicine has me sick and I can't hold my food down, my head is splitting, and I am on the toilet with a bucket in my lap every 20 minutes...
Still... thanks to vicodin I DON'T CARE ABOUT ANY OF THAT!

Duh duh DUHDDY DUH DUH! Duhuhuhuh!
General | Posted 15 years agoI got this from BrianBlackberry's journal. This is pretty much what I hear from every customer that walks up to my counter. They say:
"I wount four pounds of extra bloody angus roasst beef SHAVED. It TASTES BETTER that way."
What I hear:
"I want four pounds duduh duhududdy duhduh angus roast beef DUH. It duddyduh duh duh that way."
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yaXvr2ahXY&feature=player_embedded
I also refer to this as "FA Admin speak"
"DUH DUH! DUH duddy DUHduhduh BAN duh duh remove it duhDUHduhduh! Or else!"

Well... whaddya know...
General | Posted 15 years agoOne of my rivals has been forced to take down all their 3D artwork. Well, if they wont allow people to post the 3D art at least they're not just picking on the good people. I was beginning to think that all that mattered was how many people were watching. When Angelfyre had to take all her stuff down and these others were being allowed to keep their up I was calling foul!
So at least there's a little fairness going on.
Still... posting 3D art should be allowed.

Fur Nazis
General | Posted 15 years agoYa know... I'm seeing a lot of parallels with FA that fit the same lines as the old Yerf site. The owners, admins, and "VIP" begin to get ban happy. This recently happened with my friend Kengi.
Here's the sin that made them ban Kengi. He reported someone who was stealing his designs. Yup, that's what did it. I am guessing the argument got rather heated but they banned him for thinking that someone was stealing his stuff. What, was the theif banging the admin that did the ban? How corrupt is that?
Ya know, if there's one thing I stand as an example for... it's that there are people in the world that you fuck with... that you shouldn't have fucked with. I am the fortunate one that I'm usually the one that you find ya shouldn't have fucked with. Do you live in a free country? Do you pay for electricity that is non-nuclear powered? Guess what, you are paying my attorney fees. That's a lot of steady income.
No, I aint gonna go sueing FA or anything, at least not for this sort of thing. The point being, no matter how big they are, no matter how tough they are, no matter how bad ass they are with the ban button the day will likely come that FA will learn in a way that will most definately suck for them... there is someone bigger, badder, and meaner than they can ever be. They're being bullies in a lot of cases. One day they're going to push someone and that someone is going to take them to the metaphorical mat, and give them a proverbial ground and pound until they SQUEEEEEEEL! There are a lot of us who will be there and as that person holds down the owners we'll line up and kick their metaphorical balls with our theoretical feet. I know I'll be there...
and I got some pretty damn big feet.
Here's the thing the admins will say. OH yes, they WILL say it.
"We have the RIGHT to ban anyone we want. It is written!"
Here's the problem with that line. In the end there's two reasons we have a public legal system. We have private attorneys, we have judges, civil suits and such because we also "HAVE THE RIGHT" to sue for pretty much anything. It's also to put bad guys in their place. Because you know what we do to bad men, we punish them. FA may be entering... the Xander Zone. (Tip of the hat to anyone who knows where I got that.)
LAW and RIGHTS are... believe it or not... subject to interperatation. Let's say some big bad mofo with a gaggle off attorneys comes along and an FA admin pushes their buttons and they decide to push back. A silver tongued attorney is all it takes to twist the words around of even THE most cut and dried laws against them. Even if they're in another country, a good legal aide can essentially perform an act that would be the legal equivelant of putting someone who is in say... Ireland... in a headlock and dragging them kicking and screaming into a legal situation that
will
end
badly.
THAT is what the power companies are doing. The guys that employ the attorneys that help me throw my weight around so much. It's what they specialize in, taking the law now matter how clear it is cut and turns it into OUR tool. Remember when that burglar was trying to break into a house, fell through the skylight and got hurt? He sued the home owner... and won. That's what FA should worry about.
At least... the LEGAL thing they should worry about. There are a lot of total psychos who might go vigilante. But frankly I think furry fandom lacks the balls to try anything like that. Still...
We ALL gotta show Kengi love and support. Say something to the admins. He's done nothing but show kindness and generosity to me and many others I know. Without us there is no FA. If enough of us raise our fists in the air, and threaten to cram it up an amdin's ass, maybe they'll cave in. They feel they'rein power.
FREE KENGI!

Good news!
General | Posted 15 years agoMany of you might remember how upset I was after Christmas because an elderly woman I helped train in the fine art of frying anything edible... had an accident.
Here's a recap.
She slipped on the ice one day and split her head open. She was touch and go for a long time, we were just waiting to hear the bad news. We got bad news, but not what we were expecting. When they did a scan on her head they found a tumor. What really made me mad, aside from all that, was that because she was elderly she was slow. So everyone at that store they sent her to treated her as shitty as possible to get her to quit. When her husband came in to clean out her locker, figuring her time was limited, there were Christmas gifts for everyone in her department, even those who treated her like shit. This kind old lady who was broke to begin with and was being treated so poorly still had enough in her heart to get her co-workers no matter how mean gifts to make their holidays better. Frankly it's a good thing I didn't work at that particular store, I would have been fired for my reaction.
So fast forward to now... I go in to that store and who do I see? She's behind the deli counter!
"No brain damage that we can tell and the tumor is benign." and she's working again. The company that owned the parking lot paid all her medical expenses and settled out of court without any argument. SHe's doing very well! She just recently came back, and is looking forward to the future!

'Ey, yo, foxy boxing nutbars... LISTEN UP
General | Posted 15 years agoThis is why I push these foxy boxing nutbars to PAY PROPER RESPECT. PROPER being the operative word here. Looking at their art the fight that caused this was just the kind of thing they like to get their rocks off from. Non fight fans and car buddies, you don't want to see this link I'm posting.
Some may remember me telling a story of a boxer who fought a hard and valliant fight, and wound up suffering a severe concussive head injury putting her in a life altering state, making her friends, family, and other loved ones watching in fear while these foxies would be at home masturbating to the images burned into the brains.
http://www.kdallam.com/1/about_kd.html
These fighters don't do it for the pay. They do it for the THRILL, the ADRENALINE, the love of the FANS. There's nothing in the world like it. But if we can't be bothered to pay to watch them do their thing... then at least have the respect to pay PROPER respect with RESPECTFUL images. You will fork out hundreds of dollars for a single illustration of two naked women fighting so you have something to masturbate to for a couple WEEKS... at least keep it to yourself. If you can't pay money... PAY them by SHOWING respect. None of this "I have respect!" crap. TALK is CHEAP you feebs! ACTIONS speak louder than your simpering little excuses. I thought my old friends understood that. But I bet they forget. Too busy fapping.
If I could change the mind of ONE person here... I done my job.

ROBBED!
General | Posted 15 years agoSomeone broke into my car! My Grand Am, the Camaro is safe and sound in a heavily fortified garage. They got a $250 suede leather coat I left in there from winter, they got my "equalizers", and they got my meds.
If they try taking the meds and they're on anything like a blood thinner (even asperin) it could EASILY cause cardiac arrest.
They may be dead already.

The fuck heard around the world
General | Posted 15 years agoWELL today was a big day. I got up and took out the Camaro for the first time, to go get the front end aligned. I live on 120th and took it to 104th where I noticed my oil pressure was around 10 PSI. Now, I never seen my oil pressure go that low so I pull over, throw in some oil figuring that since I have a MASSIVE oil leak I might have been running low.
THEN I couldn't get it to start. That battery is old and doesn't work with a load very well. It's an easy fix, I just don't have the money. I'm flat broke. I can't afford to even go put gas in my car at the moment. ANYway, the Camaro has always been a car that either you shut it down and within a few minutes you start it up again, OR you let it sit a good hour. Any more than a few minutes and it doesn't like to start because it loads up on gas. Even when the engine isn't running the hot engine is making the carb continue to squirt gas which floods it. I think my float levels are too high. Easy fix. Otherwise runs great. SO Rob comes and jump starts me and on the way from 104th to the shop about two more miles west I'm smoking bad because my valve cover gasket was dry and split. We spent the day fixing that instead of an alignment.
It took some work, but we did a lot of tuning and such and it's running great! It still loads up on gas at an idle, it's trying to flood but it's not a major thing to fix.
But... horror of horrors for me...
we had the Camaro up on the rack, about six feet up. Now what you need to realize is that a car flexes a little bit. If you jack it up from the front or back the car wants to bend ever so slightly in a U, sagging slightly in the center. If you jack it up from the center, like you do with a lift, the front and back want to sag downward. My door jambs were very close, almost too close. But I jacked it up a few times without the door rubbing on the fender. I did not, however, consider that with it going onto a lift. I open the door while it's on the lift and... it doesn't chip the paint. It tears a huge chunk of paint off. A chip about the size of my pinky finger!
"Wha? What the... you gotta be shitting me... NO... NO!..... FUUUUUUUCK!"
So I gotta talk to dad about that, so he can come touch it up. It can be fixed, so the anger passed quickly, especially after I blew the doors off of a yellow heavily modified Nissan Sentra... still... it sucks. FIRST day out and the new paint is goobered. I knew it would eventually... but not such a BIG goober.
Still, once the alignment is taken care of, perhaps in a couple weeks, we'll be ready for regular cruising!
So if you heard someone shout "FUUUUUUUUUUCK!" and nobody was around... that was me.
Oil leak fixed, ignition timing perfected, carb tuned mostly and needs float bowl adjusting... lots of little details under the car taken care of... not a bad day! Aside from the paint... FUCK dammitshitfuckyshittyfuckshitdamn!

General | Posted 15 years agoIt's been a long time coming and it's finally happening!
Landslide, Sierra, and Prowl will be in a comic! Not just as background characters. They'll be lead characters in a comic called Carc & 'Slide ('Slide being Landslide)
We've been waiting a long time to find someone to print the book. Finally things are looking up for us!

CARJACKED!
General | Posted 15 years agoWEll, ALMOST. They tried to jack the wrong car. Over something stupid and silly, too. I'm at Wendy's going through the drive through. Behind me I notice a gangbanger and his gangbanger bitch standing behind my car. I'm just in my 2002 Grand Am, nothing special. As I go around the corner they follow, and three more are at the window demanding they be served. The lobby is closed and they have no car, and they refuse to serve anyone not in a car. I keep as close to the wall as I can as I get to the window, I already have my... peacemaker... handy. I ALWAYS have some form of equalizer on me. Sometimes it may be illegal, but better to be illegal than dead... or carless. As I hand the credit card over for the cashier a guy in dreadlocks squeezes in between the car and the wall and leans into the car and says "Yo, we gonna use your car, homie."
Unfortunately for him, as I said, I have an equalizer. "Wrong car."
All I had was a small blade designed to be held between your thumb and middle finger, and it's supported by your index finger. Nice and shiny I made sure he saw it. It's small but incredibly effective. very illegal,but like I said... an illegal weapons charge vs losing my car or getting my ass kicked or killed... I'll take the weaps charge. Most cops will do thier job and all, but they also would understand out here. We gotta do what we gotta do, the police can't be everwhere at once, or anywhere instantly.
So banger dude sees the blade, not to mention that I have to wedge myself into my car a bit... "OH SHIT!" and he and his buddies run off. I'm just glad he didn't try to go over the car. That would have pissed me off if he dented anything. They stayed within sight, so after I left they more than likely went back to trying to get the drive through to serve them.

If only the foxies could have heard THAT
General | Posted 15 years agoLately since my foxy boxing hackles have been up a bit, especially with the recent FLOOD of that crapola art, something came to my attention.
Before their fight Chika Nakamura (Who is often told she's more suited for modeling than boxing. But she is a great fighter) and Tiffany Junot, another good looking woman, was confronted in an interview about foxy boxing! Now these beautiful women were all smiles as they basically said the same thing I do...
This isn't word for word "We're not foxy boxing. We are showing the world to respect us!" with big smiles. They were excited and Chika Nakamura reminds me a lot of the tigress in her smile... hmmm...

Like... OW man!
General | Posted 15 years agoEver have someone make you do something to yourself that pisses you off so much you wanna kick their asses?
Well, that's what happened today. I spotted a shoplifter. Now we're not supposed to approach them, so thankfully I didn't get in trouble. I just wanted to spook him, and let him know he was spotted so maybe he'd think twice next time. He was walking out with a soda he stole.
"Hey, man..." I said. He turned around and I knew that instant he wanted to fight. "Fuuuuuck." I thought. They want ANY reason to fire us these days and getting into a scrap with a customer is not good for that. SO I go to take my hat off...
and poke myself in the eye with my thumb and cut my eye lid.
Aside from that... no fight. He tried to push me and learned I'm a little bit bigger than he is. Not sure how the sight got past him but my density (har har) got the point across. He dropped his soda when he tried to shove me and he left.
Ow my fucking eye... I sweat and it just stings!
Eye for and eye... tooth for a tooth... blood for blood...
we ALL gotta... Drink Dr. Pepper...

How do YOU determine who is champion?
General | Posted 15 years agoNow this IS inspired by one of my rivals and a recent pic they posted of their fictional character holding a title belt. *rolls eyes* It had me thinking about why we choose our character who are in some form of combat sport pose as champions. There is the obvious answer we ALL choose. That we have a fictional character that is designed to be awe inspiring and who is beyond average.
Now this is going to be tooting my own horn, but there's a lot of other people's horns I'll be tooting while tooting my own horn. I'm a multiple horn tooter. So here we toot.
Sierra, one of my oldest characters, by all rationalizations would be champion as a boxer. Not because I just simply want a character who holds a title belt, like the others. On paper Sierra would stomp my rivals. If you broke it down to science, technique, numbers and stats... there would be no contest. It's not a "clean vs foxy" thing, it's just science.
If you consider a focal point is character development there's no denying that Sierra has a lot of development. Sierra was actually created by my highschool sweetheart, who was at the time into kickboxing. We were struggling in school and were doing a creative writing class and one of the excersizes was computer roleplaying through a network. After she was done with school she had no need of the character (which my lycanthrope character inspired hers to be lycanthrope... eventually just becoming furry) and since I had come across a virtually free car and she was in need I bribed her with the car to let me keep the character. She was under a different name, as well as Landslide having a different name then. It had to be around 1994 because in 1995 I was told... not to come back to school. So that was Sierra's beginnings. Until just recently I was doing anything I could to help her and my other characters grow as people. She has various skills, not just boxing and martial arts. She has interests, hobbies, and an ACTUAL PERSONALITY.
Another thing is that over all those years I have met and interviewed MANY real life pros, title holders and not. Of all the women in the sport if we counted all their title belts as boxers (REAL title belts. World recognized, not local things. WIBF and IFBA and so on. Titles people would trip over themselves to get) we would have at LEAST 12 WORLD TITLE belts. (Again, not shopping mall engraved things)By picking their brains and informing them of the character and characteristics of Sierra I learned a lot. I just sucked at bringing it out in story form. So in a sense Sierra has been trained by multiple world title holders. In my interviews a lot of major male boxers, too. Mickey Ward was one, for example. Ryan Wissow who is a promoter is another person who helped with insight.
Also, Sierra is a dedicated fighter. She takes her sport seriously. She loves it, and my rivals would quickly point out that all I stand for is all the negative aspects. That's not true. She fights because for that time she is the star when she is in that ring. All those people are there to see her, at that moment and time. Then there's the challenge, the adrenaline and when you win that light hearted feeling like your heart is swelling with joy. She's dignified about the sport, usually, she's outspoken against foxy boxing but she has pride and respect for her opponent. She loves her fans, but also to an extent kind of fears them. (This will all come up again, in an interview) She spends as much free time as she can in the gym conditioning herself physically and mentally. My rivals, naturally, will say the same thing because any boxer does. It's an addiction, a love. It's something they look forward to to just go there and... DO it. Kinda like me and videogames. It's a beautiful feeling. But Sierra takes it to levels my "opponents" don't even realize fighters do to train. I think they'd be surprised what boxers do. It's not "Go to the gym, punch a few bags, pittypat with a sparring partner, and eat healthy."
Physically Sierra's stats would give her an immediate, and slightly unfair, advantage. She's taller and she has very long arms. One of her greatest attributes is her eyesight. She has toughened her body to be like armor. Her muscle density is so high that her muscle feels almost stone like. Her hands are hardened and strong. Nothing "dainty" or "Fragile" about this woman. My rivals try so hard to keep their female creations looking like models. Tiny waists, arms as thin as my wrist, turkey necks, and often disproportionally large breasts. Nothing to create any kind of punch speed or velocity. Even a speed fighter has something THERE to create that speed.
In the end, in terms of fictional characters in my eyes the boxers that deserve to be champions... arent. Their creators have them just that, fighters. I LIKE that! I respect that. They're not "The best in the world" or full of "DBZ gimmicks and parlour tricks." They box, and go home. Sierra is a champion, but it took me a very long time before i really made her one. Still, these other guys really show a cool trait. But I do believe that as a fictional character Sierra is deserving of being a real champion. And if we brought them all to life she could beat about all of them. There are some that COULD win against her, too, as my little computer test shows! So the real boxers (Not the foxies) and put on an entertaining series of fights. It just makes me sad that so many I look at and they're so... unworthy... spending so much time on their back getting a ten count and still somehow getting a belt. (I mean really, show me any fighter that has been given a 10 count knockout more than 8 times and somehow got their titles... I'll show ya someone with a title belt engraved at the local SHOPPING MALL.)
Now this is going to be tooting my own horn, but there's a lot of other people's horns I'll be tooting while tooting my own horn. I'm a multiple horn tooter. So here we toot.

Unleash the BEAST
General | Posted 15 years agoFINALLY! THE CAMARO'S BACK TO WASHINGTON AVE! (Colorado) CAN YOU SMELLLLLLLLL WHAT THE CAR... IS COOKIN'! Aside from a bit of oil from a leak that I think I fixed.
It's running nice, quite nice actually! The front end needs aligned BAD and the oil is shot to hell from running so rich with the old carb. But it's running smooth and it's running strong. When the front end is aligned and I'm feeling secure about how the engine is on reliability it should be ready for some serious cruise time!

Save the kitty!
General | Posted 15 years agoOkay, this is a shout out to the lovers of all things cute and fuzzy. A friend of mine recently rescued a kitten someone just thew away and the kitten has some medical bills coming. So I'm asking those folks who are like me and like to commission arts to commission her and help pay for the kitten's medical stuff. She's lowered commission prices to help drum up more business.
Some of us love dogs. Some of us love cats. Some of us love birdies. But what we all have in common is the love of animals, and one is in need right now. Wouldn't we hope someone would do that for us if our little pet needed help?
Give her a look. I know a lot of us are strapped for cash. But if you can swing it, her art is worth it and we're working to help save a little kitten who hasn't had a chance to REALLY see what kind of love life can give it. It was thrown away and left to fend for it's tiny self. Let's get together and give it the love the person who did that wouldn't give.

Chicken crisis
General | Posted 15 years agoSo if you watch The Boondocks on Cartoon Network (Where it's available, I know a lotta you can't...) did you see Sundays' episode?
For those friends outside the US here's what happened...
There was a fried chicken fast food chain that had this huge special deal to drum up sales (I think it was for a new recipe or something)and suddenly... they run out of fried chicken. It turns into CHAOS, people who are SO MAD because there's no fried chicken that they drive their cars through the establishment, causing fist fights, and just all around full on HAVOC! THEN... word gets out that there's some sort of chicken virus, projected to kill millions of people in every state. People are getting sick, going into comas, all from eating the chicken. People begin to take the law into their own hands when they run low of supplies. They loot other's homes and defend themselves with home made mustard gas. Eventually people are having to leave thier homes, causing raging ROAD WARDS over boxes of Cheerie-Ohs and cans of peas! It's all out war as society begins to collapse... all because they ran out of fried chicken...
turned out the chicken virus was just Salmonella... society returns to normal and we all live happily ever after.
Now you know what happens when my fryer breaks at work.
