I'm still alive and trucking about.
Posted 8 years agoI've been on the road still, trucking about in the western 11. I was fired from Swift after their excessive nitpicking and a bullshit ticket that I got. But within a week of being fired I was on with Western Express. The pay isn't as much and the driver support is lacking when it comes to the weekend and nights, but I'm not being nitpicked to death and allowed to do my job. When I'm on home time I'm normally just playing on my computer or doing small stuff to my room. I also worked on my car, replacing the shifter assembly and antenna mast. Now my car shifts so much better and I have radio again. Still need to replace an O2 sensor.
I have a nice gaming laptop that I use on the road with me to play fallout games and planetside 2 when I have the internet connection to support it. Most truck stops do have internet you can use that is pay per time use, but if its being used heavily, then you're not going to get much done, and my phone is on the t-mobile network, so I can only do so much with that. Still, when I have the time to play and not too tired, I get on.
In other news, I've been keeping tabs on how things in the United States, and the world in general, is going, and honestly, I'm seeing history repeating its self. Certain "groups" of people are getting out of hand and acting violent towards anyone that doesn't think like them, calling people any list of 'isim's and 'phobic's and 'ist and other things all because they were simple born a certain gender and race. Racism is discrimination against any race, not just some. Whats disturbing is that many of these things is what eventually led to the creation of the Nazi party and rise of Hitler in Germany, the rise of Communism in Russia and the dictators that ruled over the people and murdered them, and the other dictators and political parties that would cause so much death and destruction.
History must be preserved and studied, not destroyed and forgotten. For those who do not learn from history, are doomed to repeat it.
And finally, free speech must never be censored. Because when you start censoring speech, then quickly soon all speech will become censored and restricted, including what one may have said and spoke before. Two books gives examples of what the world is becoming, and those books are "1984" by George Orwell and Brave New World by Aldous Huxley. If you get a chance, read though them, and see just how real they have become.

went tocalifur, had a good time, need pics.
Posted 8 years agoSo I made it to califur and had a good time. It's a different feel with the new location, and it felt like there were less people there this year. Most likely because of BLFC being so close and so many having to pick one con to go to. As for my self, I did dress up for a short bit Friday. I was I'm a plague doctor outfit and mask and was on stage for the pet auction and before hand walking around. If anyone has pictures, I'd love to see them.
I had to leave con early Sunday because of work, but otherwise, everything was all good.

Been busy.
Posted 8 years agoSO a new year has come. 2016 took a lot form everyone in its own special way. My self, it was a rough start. I'm still trucking, and I'm on home time for a couple of days. Going to be getting my taxes done and hoping I can get a good chunk of change back. I ordered a few items for califur, as I intend on attending. Just hope I can get the full three days off now since things have been slightly problematic with work, but I'm sure I can.
I saw Logan tonight on the way home. I thought it was a great movie. 8.5/10 at least, worth full price to see.

stuck in Sumner Washington till Monday morning. halp!
Posted 9 years agoDue to how some trucking loads are scheduled, I'm stuck in the swift terminal in Sumner Washington, near Kent. I would rather get off my truck and go to the movies or hang out with local furs for the day than sit and just watch netflix. If anyone is in the area that knows me wants to hang out, hit me up on telegram at ravenwolf_foxtrack, same with Skype. Text me at 7607929837 if you like.
All hail our new Republican Overlords!
Posted 9 years agoThe republicans took it all last night. Trump took the presidency. Canadian immigration servers have crashed. What does it all mean?! Well, a few things I guess.
One: Most Americans are tired of the left and liberals screwing things up and continuing to send things in a downward spiral, at least, as far as they see it.
Two: We don't know what to expect for the next four years because Trump is not a typical corrupt politician and doesn't have a history of political directions he has gone. Its almost like starting with a new slate, despite his personal standings and views.
Three: Never underestimate the power of stupid people. Back in 2008, uninformed black voters turned out in high numbers and helped Obama take office. This time, uninformed white voters (red necks, trailer trash, ect.) turned out in high numbers to vote for trump and the republicans.
Four: Many SJW's and libertards are most likely in the fetal position in their "Safe Space" and/or firing off hate filled post in their tumblers and twitters and FB pages, attacking anyone that might remotely have a different opinion from them and therefor are the reason for trump winning.
Five: Female Richard Nixon, aka Clinton, is off hiding somewhere and perhaps making plans to leave the country to somewhere she can't be extradited from and hope the FBI and others forget about her and the whole violating national security thing with those emails. Or she wants to just not be in the lime light after losing to an over grown oompa loompa.
The old chinese curse is upon us, "May you live in interesting times" And they will be interesting indeed. We will see how screwed up things an get, or perhaps they will get better. Time will tell. In the meantime, have some songs to mark the event.

still trucking out there!
Posted 9 years agoYep. I'm still trucking. Just over halfway through with ghetto training. I want to keep practicing backing, but me mentor says I'm fine and know what I'm doing. I'm in LA Homa Texas right now. My mentor is getting home time with her wife and I'm going to be staying at a motel for a couple of days, then back on the road. I'm hoping I'll be home for the fall fur-b-que the 17th.
Other news is, my mate is going through out patient rehab for pain pills addiction. I will see if they follow through with it. Also nice to have money again, if just a little bit. I'm going to need to find a cell phone carrier that has unlimited data and can keep my phone, because verizon is shit when it comes to data plans. I have the 2 gigs roll over, and I burned through almost all that within a few days of reset. Not happy. Will be looking at sprint and t-mobile when I can.
Otherwise, just wishing to have more company when out there on the road. I have telegram chat messenger. You can find me at RavenwolfFoxtrack on there. I may not respond instantly because driving, but I will respond.

on the road, turning those wheels.
Posted 9 years agoI'm trucking now. Got put with a female mentor who is lesbian and married to her wife. She is from texas. Really cool and we are getting along great. She was tired of taking on other women trainees because of how they were acting, and requested male trainees. I lucked out. So far it's been a good couple of days and starting the third. I'm driving a freightliner 10 speed, and I have the shifting down for it. I'm near perfect with detaching and hooking up to a trailer. Driving is super simple because of my experience, and I'm learning the paperwork, tracking system, and backing. If I keep up the great work, I may only need to do 100 btw hours instead of 200, but I won't mind. As long as I can get the trailer backing down, I'm good.
I'm in texas today, got into El paso/ sparks last night. Delivering a load to lancaster texas. This will be an interesting job for sure.

Big changes for me. I'm going trucking!
Posted 9 years agoI signed on with Swift Transport, and will be doing about a month of training behind the wheel. Then if I pass my test, I'll get assigned a truck of my own and will see if I can get something to keep me close to home, eventually trying for something with good hourly pay and home every day. But for now, its OTR for me.
I admit, I'm scared. Its big change, and I can only hope for the best for the future. If I get the chance to be in a town where others are, I'll keep you posted.
Now I'm off to start my life on the road.

Posted 9 years agoJust as it says, I'm living in Lancaster, CA now. Have been for the last month. and I'm looking for any other furries in the Antelope Valley that want to hang out, get together, whatever. I need something to do other than be depressed about not finding a job right now and hoping for work, so if there is anyone that knows of anyone, let me know please.

Posted 9 years agoI'm just going to leave this right here:
Due to Life being a dick, I will not be going to califur.
Posted 9 years agoLife finds a way to make you miserable. Be it relations, work, finance, family, Life finds a way. Sadly for me, Life found a way to include all of these all at once. I just pray that I get the pay I was suppose to gt, work actually starts again, or unemployment goes in my favor and pays me, because I have car insurance, car registration, and cell phone bill all coming up very soon.
I hope everyone has a great time at Califur this year. Maybe next year I will be able to go.

Once more a year older. Not looking all that good right now.
Posted 9 years agoIts me birthday, or hatch-day for birdy ^v^. Sadly, it isn't looking all that great for me right now. I've been out of work since last wednesday, company derped on paying me so waiting for that, unemployment is having issues because of previous employer things and current employer hasn't paid me yet and I only worked with them for a week. I paid for my registration for califur, but I don't have funds to go and stay and enjoy the con. Plus, I have to not only renew my car insurance by june 12th, but I need to have the policy changed to california, which means it will be going up in cost, not to mention I need to get the car registration done for california, which will be costly and most likely require smog cert. Also, have my cell phone bill on the 15th of june. I've signed up with a temp agency and even looked through and applied with listings on craig's list, nothing coming in.
*cries*
Not exactly how I planned to spend my birthday. At least I'm not homeless or in jail.
I'm waiting on a call from my boss today about work hopefully soon. I'm just... I'm trying to stay positive of course. Just so hard to do so right now.

Bust out the popcorn and lawn chairs folks!
Posted 9 years agoThat's right folks! It's that time once again! Time to get out the popcorn, set up the lawn chairs, and watch the parade of furry drama whores crawl out of the wood works, delete their stuff, make whiner journals of how FA sucks and how they are moving to <insert second hand furry art site here>, and never coming back to FA, which they will return to within 1 to 6 months.
The newest furry exodus is about to start, so kick back and enjoy the show!

The raven has returned.
Posted 9 years agoFor those of you not in the know, I have come back to southern california. As it was, the company I was at was going down hill fast because of the oil boom slowdown and then change of ownership and leadership. Our side, the communications construction side, was always disliked by one of the co-owners because we were a mistake they did, but had pulled through and was proving our selves. We also didn't bow down or fear them, showed a whole new way of doing things, and showed work ethics that were what was needed. Anyways, we wete going to come back down, and had given our 2 weeks notice, when the other company we were going to work for had canceled on us. We recended our notices, but that just made the company more hostile and looking for any reason to get rid of us. So, as it happened, while excavating, i hit a phone cable that went from deep to shallow with the excavator. We had it fixed and everything was fine. Well, the company decided to use that to fire me with cause, and at the same time, fire my dad, who was our supervisor. The phone company was very upset with this news, and decided that woth our termination, they were going to pull the plug on tbe company. The outher two guys decided to quit as well since we were fired, and we packed up and left on saturday. My dad and the u haul shoukd be here on monday, i just drove ahead and longer to get back home sooner.
Anyways, I get home, and was told by my mom that she put my cat down a month ago, without telling me or my dad. I was looking forward to seeing my cat and holding here after being gone for so long. The one thing i wanted so much, and now that can never be. I'm upset and feeling emotional to say the least. I'll be okay eventually, but it just hurts right now.
One other thing. I have a job waiting for me already. It will be the same stuff and up in the san jose area, with eventually moving towards socal. I just need to hammer out more details like what where and when to come up and fill things out.
Also, I'll be moving into my mates place in Lancaster, so when the rest of my stuff gets gere, I'll be getting that moved and setup.

College "Rape Culture" is a lie, here's the explanation.
Posted 9 years agoWatch This,
Most sane, common sense thinking, reasonable people know the "1 in 5" is BS and "rape culture" is not a real thing outside the fantasies of children attending these colleges and activist just itching for something to bitch and whine about.
Yes, there is a chance of rape on a college campus and it is a very deplorable thing. However, it is not as prevalent at many of these Cry-bullies and entitled overly triggered children try to make it out to be. Because of this lie, and the morons that perpetrate the lie and are of this mind set, many good people have been harmed through economical means, reputation means, and employment means.
I think what would be best is if these colleges just rejected these people from their schools, nation wide, and encouraged full on common sense and maturity.

Need a room for califur! Anyone looking for roomates?
Posted 9 years agoCalifur is coming, and I'm reged, and also part of the staff, but I need a place to stay at the hotel. So is there anyone that needs roomates or looking for roomates for the con? Prefably looking for at least thursday night through saturday night. I'll be driving from North Dakota back home to socal for the con, so unless I can get a place to stay, I wont be going to con this year.
Dreams of warhammer 40k and planetside 2. Thanks, youtube.
Posted 9 years agoSo I have been watching the youtube warhammer 40k series emperor text to speech, getting lots of lulz and info about 40k, and playing a lot of planetside 2, mostly as TR flying a mosquito and fucking up tanks and shit with hornet missles and the rotery nose gun, also getting a lot better with air to air dog fights. Anyways, ibdid that this weekend and last night, and ended up with some odd, but fun, dreams involving ps2 and 40k.
I need to get some art of my raven in TR and NC armor. And yes, i play VS as well, but it isnt as fun or challenging as the other two empires. VS is easy mode, TR is normal mode, and NC is hard mode. If you can play very well as NC, then you can do extremely well as the other empires.

If you were ever interested in Planetside 2
Posted 9 years agoOr, still play or haven't played in a while, the game is still going on strong. I'm still there, still playing, and the game has only grown in content, be it gameplay, weapons, cosmetics. So with that said, have a video that might help re-spark that feeling of wow and awesome.
Flash-back Friday! Feat. Moby and fursuits, and Galaxy High.
Posted 10 years agoSo this came to mind today while birding out on bird chat on telegram:
Moby's Beautiful. good song, and the video is pretty much the norm for furry drama.
2005, just over a decade old.
And for those as old, or older than I, I give you sweet memories of Galaxy High!
This came to mind int he morning. I loved watching that cartoon.

What kind of friend am I? Let this tell you.
Posted 10 years agoWhen the world turns you away
A friend will not say no
There is strength that we all have
It's not the strength we show
And in your darkest hour
In your darkest nights
Whatever life will do
I am here for you
Think of me wherever you are
When it seems like you're reaching the end
Call on me, know in your heart
On one you can always depend
I am thy friend
Though we're far away
The stars above are the same
And when you feel alone
There's one who shares your pain
A true friend has no price
There is none to pay
I remember you stood by me
I'm with you all the way
Think of me wherever you are
When it seems like you're reaching the end
Call on me, know in your heart
One who will always defend
I am thy friend
Think of me wherever you are
When it seems like you're reaching the end
Call on me, know in your heart
On one you can always depend
I am thy friend
Think of me wherever you are
When it seems like you're reaching the end
Call on me, know in your heart
One who will always defend
I am thy friend
