Why are women portrayed as frail, meek, and weak?
General | Posted 14 years agoWhy are women depicted as such frail, weak creatures in movies/books/oral stories/songs/etcetera?
I know there are a few plots that have strong female characters in them, but why can't there be more? The women I hang around are strong, independent women who could wreck house and take names, while still able to update their facebook account. I know my casual misogyny is funny and cheap, but it's all in good fun and does not reflect my true vision of most females. So, why is there such causal misogyny in plots, such as: the screaming, useless girl in horror movies, the frail fainting women in renaissance flicks, the bleeding heart, clumsy, fickle female of romantic/romantic comedies. Couldn't there be more sultry vixens like Aeon Flux, UltraViolet, Underworld, The Matrix, Hiyao Miyazki movies?

Lost my job and got sick
General | Posted 14 years agoSorry, guys that I have not been on an leaving snarky, if not, odd comments on everything. I lost my job on Wednesday and got sick the day after. I have been staying at one of my friend's apartment for the past few days and she has been nursing my bum ass back to health and staving off the depression that comes with being poor and jobless in a sucky market.
Now that I am back home, I will be able to bug everyone once again. :D I hope everyone's Halloween and Guy Fawkes Day was good. The former day was spent at a bar I've never been to in this town, dressed as Jesus, then moved to
Hellivina_khaos's house for more drinking and a fire. The latter day was spent being sick and feeling like garbage. Sadly, I do not think I will be able to participate in NaNoWriMo this year, since I have not been able to work on it at all, however, I am still writing the story, regardless.
On top of all of this, I just got a call from my mother and she told me that my grandpa is in the hospital with pancreatitis. Yay! My birthday month is going to suck so hard. >_>

General | Posted 14 years agoBack from Baton Rouge, plus Halloween video
General | Posted 14 years agoThought I would use the "Journal" as a real journal:
Just got back home a couple of hours ago from the Baton Rouge, LA area. I got to see my mate,
thetokyofox, and most of her friends. It truly was a lucid and surreal trip, that is for definite. Honestly, I kinda can't wait to return. It truly was amazing seeing Baton Rouge, my birthplace and residence for 14 years, again for the first time in almost 7 years. Looking at all the new shops and roads built since then was trippy, almost like looking through a different set of eyes. I no longer see the city through rose tinted glasses, but with clear and vivid sight. The experience was odd, yet fulfilling. I got to do some fun things like sex for the first time in a few months shy of 4 years. I got to sit on the levy of the Mississippi River, in the first "O" of BATON ROUGE, while drinking mead and beer with Tokyo and her friends, who were very proper and fun to hang out together. Those same friends and us later went to Bourbon Street, New Orleans, LA and got to drink at different bars from a metal club to a gay bar, where a well endowed man performed a one man meat spin on the bar counter while we sat out on the balcony and enjoyed the cool night air. While waiting for everyone to leave the voodoo shop, I spun my glow poi in the middle of the street and had a few ravers ask me about my poi. While Tokyo was at work one day, I got to meet xiNEONix, a local fur I met through a gaming clan I was in a long time ago, and that was very, very interesting to meet someone I met online and have been talking to for years. Another day while Tokyo was at work, I got to watch the book 3 marathon of Avatar: The Last Airbender, which I think they are using to hype up the new show Avatar: The Legend of Korra. All in all, I think it was an amazing and slightly life changing trip. More of these types of trips should be in order.
And now, some to put you into the mood for Old Hallows Eve(Halloween):
Personally, it bothers me a bit how people try to make Halloween a cute and happy holiday, when it's supposed to be dark and scare you until you shit bricks.

Mortality: a somber subject.
General | Posted 14 years agoFrom recent events, something sparked an idea. More of a feeling, or lack thereof... I don't fear death like a normal person nor respect it. I have had two best friends die on me within a years time between each other, give or take some months. In fact, I had several deaths of people I knew and cared about one right after another... Ray, my grandmother, Steven's father, Oscar(a friend), Gerald's father, Ed(another friend), and Edward. These deaths in such short succession has made me a little jaded to death and realized how fragile life can be. I live my life how I want to and do everything in my power to keep this right. I don't care if people get mad at me, because it is my life and I have no idea how long it will last. Life is too short to worry about trivial things such as death and the meaning behind it or worry about stupid and petty things like traditions. I don't like to cause problems on a grand scale, like being an inhibitor on someone's life, such as a leech, but I may post or say things that can be/are unfair or ignorant, but really, they are just words. They are not stopping anyone from doing what they want to do or make the quality of life worse or better. They are insignificant to real problems such as starvation, people getting raped en masse, fascist dictators killing their own people, global issues, war. They are just words.
I know for a fact that I have enemies somewhere and my heartless postings and such comments of the like, might make more of them, but death is death. We all die. When I die, I will either be forgotten, stepped on, or spit on, even in the casket. People will dance upon my grave and maybe even fornicate on it later on. It does not bother me. I know I am going to die a bitter and lonely death, so I don't care much about life or death. To me, it's like looking at a coin that continuously spins. A major event in your life will make the coin tip, if it lands on one side you will continue and the coin rights itself and spins again, but if it lands on the other, you cease. My death will not stop the earth nor have meaning to anyone who did not know me. The people it does affect will be sad for a short time than continue on, like it never happened. Life truly is meaningless, but it does have beauty and knowledge that I want to see and learn. But life just seems to lack so many things like reason or fulfillment. If I went out into a field and just upturned the earth for any reason or no reason at all, did it make a difference in anything other than bugs and plants dying? Not really, I just did and action and caused a reaction. I know this is nihilism, but it kinda fits in place. We are just a tiny speck floating in space at speeds I don't care to look up right now. What makes us so special compared to the other specks doing the same thing?
I see no reason to burials and the funerals that precede them. They just make the feelings stronger that someone is missing. I feel that is the living being selfish and wanting what could have been and not just moving on. Personally, I wish to be burned. I see no need to selfishly take up a plot of land for a body to rot or to cause protest later down the line that my decayed body should or should not be moved. I don't care if you take those ashes and throw them into a toilet, or snort them, or use it to make soap. I'm dead, why would I care? Same goes for my organs; I'm a donor. Once I'm dead, I don't need to be narcissistic about anything, so why do I need to look pretty to be burned? Harvest them things if there is anything left of them and stick 'em in people who care about living too much or really need them. Quality of the pointless life is nice to have when you can get it. I don't really see why anyone should really care about much at all. All I care about is the quality of life, because we can change that if we have some symbiosis in our method of life. Don't crap in the water hole, don't feed the rich, don't fear life or death.
I have a feeling that this is going to get flamed to bits, but I really don't care. It doesn't hurt me to be insulted. It's just annoying. Call me crazy, call me heartless, call me whatever you want. If you just want to vent, you can. I won't mind, just let me know and I will try not to retort angrily.

Birthday fire poi show
General | Posted 14 years agoThis is a week or so old, because I just got the video, but I did a fire poi show for my friend's birthday party. Forgive the audio, I was going to alter the video, but then I realized that takes work. XD
My life in Hell.
General | Posted 14 years ago{I feel like ranting, even though I am happy as can be. I think there is liquid happy being poured into my water.}
Think of a city. Now think of Hell. Put them together and you have Victoria, Texas. It's a town of 87,000+ people and only 2 furrys. Myself and hellivinakhaos. For a town this large you would expect many things, like a mall that has good stuff, really nice selection of restaurants, and maybe some good bars/clubs. We have a mall that has rent so expensive that stores close on a monthly basis. Most of our restaurants get shut down to health code violations or drug abuse. And all the bars and clubs play nothing but rap and country music-- cowboys and skanks everywhere. There really is nothing to do here, but drink, drugs, and have sex. (This is why the teen pregnancy and STD rates are so high here.) Not to mention, there is no night life here at all. Everything shuts down at about 8-10pm. The only thing that is open are the shitty bars with kickers and back sellers.
This is all because of the city council, which is filled with ancient relics of old mentalities and everything is run off the good old boy system. They will not approve of anything here, but more failing restaurants. There are people who are 50+ years old and never been out of the city limits. Everyone knows everyone and everyone grew up together. I am often curious if the gene pool is large enough anymore to sustain proper reproduction. I think everyone is everyone's first or second cousin. Personally, I am not from here. I was born in Baton Rouge, LA, and have lived in many different states and have traveled to many more. I've even been to Tokyo, Japan.
This city isn't all bad though. I do appreciate my wonderful friends here and we learn how to entertain ourselves pretty well. There is nothing within 100 miles of here in all directions, but smaller towns, but a little bit farther out and you've got Corpus Christi, Houston, San Antonio, Austin. About 6 hours away and you have Dallas. So, if you have the money, you can travel and do something over the weekend. Sadly, we are always broke and the gas prices are too high to travel.
This brings me to my new point-- my job. I work for an ISP that gives WLAN internet to people who live literally in the middle of nowhere, aka rednecks. My job is tech support, but this is highly understated of what I have to do. I fix computers that people can somehow screw up even the most simple of things, like make an icon on the desktop as well as fix these "peoples'" internet remotely over the phone. Since we can't really advertise to people who have nothing on the grid, all of our business is word of mouth. This means if these idiots can't comprehend why their internet is broken, because their cow ate the CAT5e cord coming from their radio outside, then they run around and scream we have bad customer service and we lose business. I have to talk to them like they are 2 years old. In fact, I put a 10 year old on the phone and they put a static IP in Win7 faster than his mother and he could barely read. I've had people scream at me for an hour and a half. It was their fault, but they yelled at me directly for it, not the company, me. Now, I get paid $8/hr and work part time(20hrs+) to pay for college for networking and my new car I had to get because my '98 Chevy S10 was singing its death song. Lately, my boss just dropped my hours to about 10 hours a week and will not tell me why. I know I don't do well with people screaming at me, but I have never been rude to start off with.
I am a serious cheapskate and buy virtually nothing, but booze and cigarettes. Most of my money goes into gas to get the hell out of this redneck infested town and see my amazing friends in Houston and Dallas. No one has any idea how happy it makes me to be able to get out of this town I've affectionately called "God's Blind Spot". If you meet me at a con, travel day, or furmeet, you probably see me with the biggest smile on my face, bouncy, and filled with lively tasteless jokes. If you meet me in Victoria, I wouldn't piss on you to put you out if you were on fire. This town just breeds hatred and pure malice in my heart and soul. All I do here is bitch about it and whine for something to do beside watch Netflix and play videogames. My only outlet is truly the internet, so most of my lividity pours from my fingertips and onto the innocent keyboard. My mind is always buzzing with ideas and stuff to do and think about, but this town stifles it all with its lack of resources and limited capacity for jovial activities. In essence, I am slowly going insane. I do not know how people settle for this kind of dull and uneventful lifestyle, full of drama and love triangles, that occurs here so frequently.
There is a bright side, soon as I get done with college, I will be trying to move to Houston or some similarly large city, where I can at least do something after 9pm. I really am trying my best to get out of this town before it kills me.

INRI and my bastardization of it.
General | Posted 14 years agoSo, INRI is a Latin acronym for IESVS·NAZARENVS·REX·IVDÆORVM (Iesus Nazarenus, Rex Iudaeorum), in modern day: "Jesus the Nazarene, King of the Jews".
I was feeling pretty blasphemous just a few moments ago and kinda wanted to make my own acronym that fits me. Since the US was not founded millennia ago, I will have to make up some stuff unless a linguist would like to correct me.
IESVS LVISIANIVS, REX BESTIVM (Iesus Luisianius, Rex Bestium), American: "Jesus the Louisianian, King of the Furrys(/Beasts)"-- ILRB.
Now, I do not know if this is correct or not, seeing as I have never taken Latin nor Greek, but from my closest guess this is what I think looks right. Honestly, I have no idea why I decided to post this, but I thought it would be funny. I didn't think it was worth posting as a story or poetry, but I had to let people see the decadent genius of the idea and word play on my fursona. When I do get the Ferret Jesus Crucifixion, I will have "ILRB" posted at the head of the cross. :3

Going to be at MFM
General | Posted 14 years agoLeaving today after class to ride with :wielder13:. I will be there Thurs about 3-4pm.
While there I will be teaching an impromptu poi and contact juggling class. Come find me if you want to learn. I brought sock poi to buy and a few stage balls to learn contact juggling.

Sold my truck!
General | Posted 14 years agoYou heard me right. I sold my old forest green Chevy S10! No more driving in sweltering heat of 112F, no more near death experiences from lack of acceleration, no more having to squeeze people in the chinese boy sized back seats! You have no idea how happy this makes me. Most of my vehement angry at life stems from this Devilish heat we have in South Texas, so now I will be getting a car with A/C!
At the current moment, my dad and I are looking at decently priced Honda civic/accords to get the best deal we can. It was weird how I sold my truck in 1 day! These really nice Mexican guys came and bought my dying truck, so they could drop a bigger engine in it and make it a better vehicle than it would have even been in my care. I'm happy it will make someone else happy! They paid our asking price in cash and we signed it over, so no more dying truck for me! :D *jumps for joy*
Sorry that this post is late, but first day of college was yesterday and I didn't sleep and as soon as we got back from the local dealers', I ate a chicken potpie (my 3 most favourite things :B ) and passed out watching "Hey Arnold!". Truly a sad sight, but it was necessary.
Also, still going to MFM and doing a poi/contact juggling class.

Kiriban gone unnoticed/faves are lol
General | Posted 14 years agoI had a kiriban set for 7777, but no one reads any more. Oh well. Now I don't have to do extra work. Lol However, I will have a new kiriban number set to 9001. Did you see what I did there?
On another note, my faves are at 666... I'm tempted to not fave anything anymore just for the lolz.

Fursona meme
General | Posted 14 years ago1. Do you and your "fursona" look alike?
Yes.
2. Do you and your "fursona" share attires?
I would wear the robes constantly, but robes are not this time period's look.
3. Do you share the same sexuality as your fursona?
Not quite. By all technicality, I am pansexual, but I really don't like penis at all. However. FP/FJ, are truly pansexual.
4. If you changed your fursona to be more like you, how do you think he/she would look?
He is a carbon copy of me, I can't change it anymore.
5. Did you work hard to develop your fursona? What is the (brief) history of your fursona?
Yes and no. My friends choose ferret for me, because I do not know my own personality. However, I chose Jesus, because everyone kept calling me Jesus.
6. Do you and your fursona share relationship status?
Yes. We are both single. >_>
7. Do you find yourself jealous or upset if you get paired with someone you don’t like or your partner does?
Eh..
8. How would you like your character NOT to be used?
In really odd paraphilic situations like vore, scat, etc. Other than that, I don't care.
9. What’s your fursona’s specialty?
Miracles and healing.
10. On a scale of 1-10, how much are you and your fursona alike?
9
11. Do you use your fusona for Role Playing (clean or NSFW)?
I haven't really found anyone that would want to, but Zanty, Gannypiggy, and I joke around with the power of *asterisks*.
12. Do you have a fursuit of your fursona?
Yes, and the proper attire for both alternations of him.
13. If you could, would you be your fursona?
Of course, who wouldn't want to?
14. Would you change your species if you could or does the current one fit the best?
I would have probably said that FJ was an amorphous entity that appears to my onlookers as whatever I felt like showing to them. That way I could be anything I wanted at anytime. XD
15. Do you have more than one fursona and why, if you do? And why, if you don't?
I have one fursona, but he wears two sets of clothes. Robes and a steampunk like attire. The steampunk is the alternate attire, just so I can still get art from someone if they have something like morals or fear repercussions by other people with morals. :V Basically, it's just to make people not cry.
I do not see the need to have more than one fursona, since a fursona is a bastardization of the word persona and that is an avatar of your personality. For the most part, mostly all of us have one personality (and no, moods do not constitute a second personality), so I see no point in making more than one fursona, because it becomes confusing after a short time. -_-
Stolen from
kyousuke and I added a few questions, because it was too short imho.
Yes.
2. Do you and your "fursona" share attires?
I would wear the robes constantly, but robes are not this time period's look.
3. Do you share the same sexuality as your fursona?
Not quite. By all technicality, I am pansexual, but I really don't like penis at all. However. FP/FJ, are truly pansexual.
4. If you changed your fursona to be more like you, how do you think he/she would look?
He is a carbon copy of me, I can't change it anymore.
5. Did you work hard to develop your fursona? What is the (brief) history of your fursona?
Yes and no. My friends choose ferret for me, because I do not know my own personality. However, I chose Jesus, because everyone kept calling me Jesus.

General | Posted 14 years agoI've been in houston as of 5pm Wednesday. Stayed at 
fentera's house and tried out ball of light photography and got some cool shots of my glow poi. Then went to my mother's house and saw her for the first time in months. Now I am at 
taigitsune's apt as of Friday night and have been having a blast with him and his roomies. Tai is one of the most amazing furrys I have ever met. We got back from 
mamacherish's fur meet at zuma fun center where I got to ride a go cart as jesus. Too bad no one took a picture of it. I really need to hire a photographer for this kind of stuff.
Tomorrow I will be in Austin with Tai at a fur meet at applebees. If anyone is in the area do show up. It should prove to be fun.

Sublime Appreciation
General | Posted 14 years agoIt's been a long time since I have done something like this, but I wished to show that I'm not a horrible, cynical creature that loathes all that I come in contact with on a daily basis. I wanted to share that I actually feel gratitude and have the ability to count my blessings. I'm enthralled to say that I have been so fortunate for so many things that have come into my life and that I have life at all.
When I walk, my feet carry me and my arms help me to maintain balance. I realized that there are people out there who were born without appendages or have had and lost them for some cause. I think how lucky I am to have arms, legs, and balance. These are simple things most people take for granted, but I wouldn't know what to do if I could no long speak with my hands, when I become excited in a conversation to stand up and act it out, or use my fingers to type this notation out to share. With this said, I will transition into the fact that I am healthy. This falls under “being alive”, but being alive can mean being a vegetable in a hospital. Not something any of us wish.
My body, though not perfect (, but whose is?), is able and allows me to do amazing things with it, such as poi, contact juggling, martial arts, eat as much as I want and suffer little fat-based consequences for doing so. There are people out there who have not the ability to move their body even though it should work. I'm grateful that I do not have any major mental disabilities or diseases, like autism, that my own brother has, or schizophrenia, that would make me live in a metal ward for the rest of my life.
My mind is something that I am grateful for, most of the time. I am glad that I have a higher functioning brain than majority of Americans and even greater of the people that live in this backwards town. The few people that are the same as me in this respect are my friends, whom keep me company and entertain me. The very thought that I have friends makes me jump with jubilation. It makes me happy that I, also, have someone to entertain and keep company in the good and bad times. My family, though they are not what I would wish them to be are still there. I know they love me very much and will always be there to have my back in the greatest times of need that my friends could not help with.
Unlike most people, when I get a burger from a fast food chain and they mess up on it, I do not complain or fight with them because there are pickles on my burger, I just eat it and view it as a new experience to something I have know before. On that note, I thank the gods that I have the patients to deal with the idiots that live among us. My level head is what keeps me out of prison and I know there are people out there that can snap for a simple smile and wave. I'm glad that I do not live in such a mental turmoil.
The things that I own do not particularly happy, but they do make me feel good, so I am glad that I have them. My computer is something I could live without, but it would not make life very fun for me, so I enjoy its presence. I am extremely fortunate to have traveled over most of the continental US and have been to Japan, a place that I had dreamed of doing to most of my life. I'm glad that I have a roof over my head, food on my plate, and clothes to protect me from the cold of winter and heat of summer. People in and out of this country would kill to have such luxuries that we take for granted everyday. I'm glad I have some money to support myself and maybe another special person to come into my life one day.
Though, being appreciative of gifts and luck is not enough. You should try to do the best that you can with the gifts you have received by using them on yourself and others. Sharing the wealth is more satisfying than anything. I have been trying to share this with others, but sadly, no one wants help. This is even true of me, but even tenacious fighting to help others still does not work. However, I hope that reading this may make you do the same as me and look at your life and realize that it is not utter garbage, but each and ever event you tackle and succeed at makes you a stronger and well rounded person.

Why having a job that helps other people sucks.
General | Posted 14 years agoHaving a job that involves the common idiot is not as gratifying as one would think. First off, people are ungrateful and greedy. They will use you as a doormat and then expect you to help them again with a smiling and friendly face, when they have been so wrong to you. They want every little bit they can get out of you in hopes that it will make them happy, but it never will happen. If they can get free stuff, they take it, even if they don't need it. When they are not happy they will yell, bitch, and moan, like a stupid, spoiled child in a supermarket wanting forbidden candy. Some of these asshole will go as far as to get you fired and lose the one thing that makes you money and keeps you alive, because they are not completely satisfied. In essence, they are inadvertently killing you, because they just didn't get that extra pickle on their sandwich they asked for.
Let me get back to the yelling... I hope they understand when they yell at me, it is a form of unjust, oneway punishment. I can't fight back or I will lose my job or their life. It's similar to the jocks that beat up the nerdy kid in school for doing nothing wrong, but just existing in the wrong place. They do it for no reason other than to maybe relieve stress that their spouse is cheating on them, because they lack anything in common with each other or something. Some days it just makes me want to eat a bottle of random pills and call it a life.
Other times it makes me want to just go into a blind rage and snap the necks of every breathing person, then make a river of their blood.
Whatever the case, it's not fair to the people that stand behind the counter and have to deal with the immense about of retarded day in and day out and have way to release pent up tension or fight back. They must get some kind of amusement poking the poor, lethargic caged lion over and over.
But, the stupid really points to them... If you mess with someone dumber than you, they normally resort to violence or verbal abuse, since they cannot connect the dots to make a scheme. These acts heal over a short amount of time. When you mess with someone smarter than you, things like what happens in the Saw movies can happen, if the person is homicidal or just too evil/cynical to care. Or, they can screw you over on a much harder level, like a drill press to the anus kinda feel, when they hack your bank account, socially ruin your reputation for life from slander, or make it look like you are the one committing the crime. Now, I'm not saying that I would do these things, but there are some people out there who give less of a shit than I do and just might make it their personal vendetta to ruin you to the very soul.
Though, not all people are bad, you do get a few who are truly appricative of your help and will praise you for it, but it usually gets lost in the mire of negativity and complaints, easily overshadowing anything that was once nice. I have worked purely retail all my life and have yet to see a glimmer of hope for humanity in these years. And people wonder why I am so cynical, misanthropic, and aloof.

The Last Furry Supper... Commission. [Completed!]
General | Posted 14 years agoWIP: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Attthe7GI.....BSupperwip.jpg
Saw that
Firefeathers was open for commissions and I thought it would be nice to get a commission done from her.
The commission will obviously be the last supper with me as furry Jesus. The total will be $735, this will translate to roughly $61.25 a spot. I need 11 people to be in this with me. There is not a requirement, more than, you need $61.25 and a reference picture to be in it.
There will be no oppression of race, gender, orientation, ailment, age, or religion. All are welcome to join. (However, copyrighted characters are NOT allowed, including, but not limited to,: Pokemon, digimon, disney, my little pony, etcetera. These will bring on a lawsuit and none of us need that. Only custom characters you have made/adopted/stolen from a dead person/etcetera, please.)[/i]
I have a slot from FireFeathers... It's a lower slot, so it will take a while and you have time to get the money. It should be within a month or two when it is due. I will give you my paypal and I will send her the payment as soon as I get the entirety of the commission money.
So, who would like to be in it? If you don't have the money, then be awesome and spread this journal to others. If you want to be in it, just let me know and spread the word anyways. :D
If you are looking to be deep about the meaning behind this then:

Falcoooon Lament! (2nd Round)
General | Posted 14 years agoOne of my best friends, Edward Dodds, passed away this morning. The details are not clear yet, but he had a stroke and blood in the brain. He just turned 21 this year.
I have known Edward since high school, but we were not friends then. A few years outside of high school we mellowed out and began being friends. He got me my current job with him and we have always been goofing off together at work. He has helped me cope with the losses of my girlfriends and kept me sane with sound advice for almost a year now. The past month his health had been declining for no reason, but he kept saying he was alright. His girlfriend, whom he lived with, took him to the hospital early this morning because he stopped breathing. And that was the last I heard, until 20 mins ago when I woke up and got on the computer and became notified on facebook that he passed away at 4:28am, when I was still awake.
Papa, why have you forsaken me? Why did you take away such a fine young man? You fucking bastard!

My truck has resurrected and now I'm stuck.
General | Posted 14 years agoMy father (hurr hurr) fixed my truck while I was away at Wild Nights 2011. Now I am stuck in Oklahoma City, OK at 
taillone's home. My ride's vehicle is stuck in the mud or blown away by a tornado and he and his mate are looking for it. Until then I have to wait it out here, which is actually quite awesome. I just hope I'm not pissing off my coworkers back home. :/

All-Con 2011
General | Posted 14 years agoThis is the best non-furry con I have ever been and it gets better ever single year. I met so many great people and went to some of the coolest workshops that taught me to perform poi and better my skills in contact juggling. I highly recommend going to it if you live near the DFW, TX area.
On a side note: I made a sock poi set and it came out pretty good. I am looking to start selling them for a short time if anyone is interested in this activity. I will post pictures of it later when I get my camera and good lighting. They are made from fleece and popcorn kernels for the weight. They will be made to custom length and weight if specified. Please let me know if this is a good idea.

General | Posted 15 years agoI'll be heading to magnolia, texas, tonight, for my maternal grandmother's funeral tomorrow at 10am. :(
My 21st birthday is nigh.
General | Posted 15 years agoIt really does keep slipping my mind, but my birthday is November 29th. So it is coming up very soon. :/
Oddly, I'm not as excited as I thought I would be for my 21 years of living on this earth. Eh, it's been a very good life and I don't think I would trade it for anything.
However, I will be more hammered that day than anytime in my life. Yay alcohol poisoning! :D
