After all these years, I got my State ID today. Mostly because my social worker was adamant about getting stuff done.

Pretty happy about it, but I'm kinda tired right now. Long day & I did wind up getting a flu shot. I'll go into details tomorrow.

I'm bidding farewell to my original 3DS. I attempted to see about analyzing the replacement process for the top screen, and it appears too difficult for me to tackle, which is a shame. But, hey, I still have my 2DS & the old unit lasted long enough for me to transfer system data. Though it was hard with a black top screen.

I'm contemplating buying a second unit (most likely 2DS or 3DS) that I can use for Pokemon trading, as well as homebrew applications because I want to import Japanese games like SD Gundam 3D & Terry's Wonderland 3D. Luckily I can probably work out a sweetheart deal in a few weeks to set that up.

But... I did all I could for my 3DS because I just can't afford sending it to a repairman & have done self repairs for my PSP.

The main plot of the game is about fashion in this world, and the antagonist of the game, Sister Lady, is responsible for putting Princess Styla, known for her regal beauty, in a brown bodysuit that she cannot take off.

Personally, I really, really love bodysuits. :D And, yeah, it's about the same color as the infamous pants Shawn Michaels wore at Survivor Series 2002 (seriously, look those up!), but I think I can do some stuff with them, heh heh.

Medicine is doing it's job, though I still have moments. And I've been enjoying Alpha Sapphire.

Yup, I turned 26 today.

But I wound up going to the hospital over chest pains. The EKGs & X-rays weren't anything serious, so they concluded it was atypical chest pain & gave me a prescription for Naprosyn.

So, I'm fine. Thanks for the shouts & well-wishes. My buds TraceMem & Dr. Scaphandre from deviantART made me stuff & even Uzusio thought of me for one of his works.

Lets say you need help with storytelling & need guidance? Common logic tells you to go to TV Tropes, right?

Well, I personally argue that TV Tropes is a terrible place to go. As far as help is concerned, it's merely a place that teaches you that you must use preexisting components & build them like LEGOs to make a story, & a place where Gone With The Wind & The Great Gatsby novel have small enties while pages are devoted to random anime & all the supposedly scary things in MLP: FIM isn't exactly a bastion of logic. A time-consuming adventure, yeah, but not a good locale.

Instead, try Mythcreants. They have blog entries devoted to exploring how to and how not to build worlds & characters. I've been thinking about this since glancing at Classroom Crisis and was just appalled that the voice of Hallelujah Fucking Haptism was playing this annoying, out of place bad guy and hoping there are sites out there that are devoted to telling people how not to make Yuji Kiryus.

Plus, they are built upon fantasy & sci-fi, so it's a good geek locale.

My weekly itinerary:

Monday: Go to WorkOne to fulfill strange request from social worker & buy groceries.
Tuesday: Get clinical checkup to add myself to system, give WorkOne info to social worker, & maybe check out neighborhood apartments.
Wednesday: 26th Birthday!
Thursday: Go to bank, withdraw money, buy more groceries & supplies.

If I get my Social Security card this week, I'll probably get State ID Friday, if not next week. Also, gonna try & get word from landlords about property fate.

Took me several days, but I finally won a few races in Gran Turismo 2, using a 1993 Toyota (model escapes me). To illustrate how slow I took, I bought the FIAT 1972 500R, which was gravy slow, so I had to grind to buy a Nissan 1800c car, which kept me competitive in the early races, but I was still stuck going 5th & 6th. Finally, I remade enough to buy the Toyota with double the horsepower & dominated the Sunday Cup.

For GT purists, it must be a joke to hear this numbnut celebrate finally getting it right, but I really like the game and want to enjoy winning so I'd be motivated to try the big guns.

Don't own any equipment, mostly because I'm more worried about paying food & rent, but I need to do a wishlist, & one such item is a Chinese pressure suit & TK-4a model flight helmet.

Most of ya know a quirk of mine is helmets with built-in oral/nasal masks, & this helmet has that. Plus, the suits are built around the old, ribbed model the Soviet Union used (if you need visualization, think a green suit with hoses all over the sides & shoelace-esque drawstrings on the front of the suit, with both chest & crotch zippers). Just need to make sure the suit is at least XL for males, heh. If I ever win the lottery, I'm grabbing an authentic ensemble with collar, gloves, & headset, too.

In addition to my copy practices of anime & cartoon characters so I can finally draw in their style, I need to practice a bit on that suit & helmet and then show off the artwork when complete.

Today, I got me a new half-fare bus pass. Been without one for over a year, and I like to save money on bus fare. But I was finally able to apply for a Social Security card for the first time as an adult, & should get it in 2 weeks. Without an authentic ID, I had to use my high school records to get approved. Once I get the card, I'll immediately get my State ID... in the nick of time because the tax sale featuring my property is on the 8th & 9th of October. Whether we can find adequate housing or entry into an apartment complex (our goal) or have to both rent out a motel room & use a storage facility for our stuff the winter (not an ideal choice), we'll at least be able to get into somewhere should anything happen.

In the long run, obtaining info for all members is important, but I'm the one who's gonna represent the family, so I need proper information. Plus, all my running around has stressed out my mom, for good reason. Thankfully, I don't have to run anyplace else for my documents.

Still haven't decided what to do when I do get my ID first.

Gonna relax for the next day and so & stay home as much as possible after I do the bank tomorrow. Mom had a SVT episode for 10 minutes tonight, likely due to the spacing on her potassium medicine being too short. I blame myself because I didn't get home in time with the applesauce she needs to eat with it this morning.

I'm finally playing GT2, & I own GT5 Enhanced, as well, but I wanted to play the PSOne version because GT2 made a quantum leap in content from the first. My first car is a FIAT 500s, a cute little car that goes slow, but was in my starting price range. Also got all Bronze on B License.

Yes, I'm a pro wrestling nerd. Yes, I know it's "fake". No, I'm never gonna stop giving a damn about it.

But, I want to comment on various events from here on out, which I started doing on deviantART. I know there's some enthusiasts that have an opinion & I want to discuss things.

Last night, WWE held Night of Champions in Houston, where, ironically, it was the same venue where they made the transition from Vengeance to Night of Champions.

Frankly, the event was lousy for the most part. The six man saw the mystery partner be Chris Jericho for "Reignbrose" (or Shield Lite) & the highlight was a fan jumping into the ring. Kevin Owens wins the cursed Intercontinental Championship from Ryback in a match I thought was off-key. And Nikki Bella's reign as Divas Champion finally ended as she submitted to Charlotte (Flair). I've been unimpressed with the Divas Revolution for many, many reasons, one being that there is oversaturation with the central characters, all 9 of them.

Ziggler beats Rusev via distraction, which was terrible because Ziggler makes a bad babyface right now since, well... this feud has been really awkward considering most strained love stories would have a guy who looks like Dolph be the antagonist. Plus, Dolph's showing affection towards Summer Rae, who Rusev accepted into his life after Lana dumped Rusev for Ziggler... and Lana's still with Dolph. How is Rusev the villain of the story?

Then there's Seth Rollins. As annoyed as I get with Cena, I do have some respect for his wotk ethics (though dude needs to focus on mat work, not sloppy springboard stunners, if he wants to appeal to the "workratez" members of the IWC), & too many times has the United States Championship been a prop instead of a feature. Plus, he got a good match outta Sting, though that event was scary to me when Sting collapsed. Sheamus tries to cash in in an obvious way, but is thwarted by... Kane.

Kane is your title opponent in 2015. His stuff has deteriorated over the past few years & nothing screams "we got no programs for you" than a Kane feud.

Also, there was Neville & Lucha Dragons vs. Cosmic Wasteland and Dudleyz vs. New Day, but haven't gotten there yet. All in all, 3 out of 10, largely due to the aimlessness for most programs coming out of this show, with Lesnar/Taker: The Final Chapter at HIAC being the focal point for a few weeks.

Came down with something real nasty.

Haven't felt good in 2 days & I'm not gonna rush things. Thought you'd know about this so you know where I've been at.

I gotta come clean about my fA origins. I came here in 2011 because there was a period I couldn't access deviantART at my library due to technical glitches. It was so frustrating, but then I remembered that my friend  metalzaki was here so I moved accordingly while the dA issues lingered.

I'll tell more of the story in future journals.

But, I gotta be honest; I love fA more & more due to accessability on my Nintendo 2DS. DeviantART has a mobile version, but not for gaming consoles, & administration support on hearing about using game devices to, I dunno, comment & read Notes fall on deaf ears. Part of it is because dA is a Javascript-heavy website, while most game systems don't have Flash or Java, but plenty of website allow for mobile-friendly versions.

I can type journals & comment freely here, which is awesome. If proBoards hadn't made it where its impossible to login on game consoles, I'd be set.

********

I just got back from my old high school today in getting my student transcript, which I need for my Social Security card. It's weird to go back to your old school years after leaving & see the changes. They installed a fountain in the courtyard. The computer maintenance & repair magnet that I graduated from was discontinued. They lightened up the dress code a bit.

But the cafeteria food still looks gross & the cafeteria itself looks the same as it was when I started going in 2004, minus the vending machines they removed in '06, lol.

For starters, I wanna welcome  tonibabelony to this site, having left deviantART in general frustration.

He's a much better artist than I'll ever be, but follow him! He's amazing at fetish artwork.

Speaking of which, as everybody knows, I'm not a furry. I created a species of alligator hominids, but I'm never gonna show off their junk or whatnot. But, my art has improved to a much better level now compared to when I used this place as a dumping ground for subpar work. Some of you may think I'm being hard on myself, but I'm just being honest about things :). I'm saying... I will post more work here, and even fA-exclusive stuff. I'm serious this time. :)

So, since a latex gasmask fan is moving here, I've also been meaning to divide my submissions again between the 5 sites (dA, Pixiv, fA, Y-Gallery, & Heavy Gear Girls) I submit material. Just a random thought.

But I thought I'd get it out there. And maybe put an imprint on this site for the humanoid fanatics :D.

This applies to most sites, but I'm posting here first.

I must make it clear that we (my family) will soon be in a state of residential flux, and rather than sit through it & hope for the best, we're gonna try and do something about it.

My goal is to move close to a hospital to assist and aid my mother's health issues, but I won't have easy access to a library in this area I intend to go.

We'll be living at our current place until October, at the very least. Until then, I'm burning the midnight oil to take care of things and prepare for any outcome.

That said, if we move, I'll be offline until I either invest in Internet or buy a laptop with WiFi capabilities. I don't want to leave you all in the dark.

Yeah, I finally got around to it, and took out... about... well, 75% of the account. I kept a few of the old, crappy drawings because I felt they weren't too bad, but the majority went.

Now... I did, personally, though, save a few of them because my plan is to revisit each idea and redo them, so that I can present them where they won't be as sucky.

Right now, I'm pretty tired, because I had to go to the hospital last night over a family matter.

I know it's been over a month since my original deadline, but I really am wanting to grt through with deleting the junk.

However, I still want confirmation that somebody saved everything. Because I'm also cleaning up PhotoBucket, too, so when they are gone, they are gone.

Once I hear from a few of you, then I'll do it.

Unless... this isn't exactly the best strategy, although if I delete them and somebody wanted them, I cannot help. The old files are gone and the physical drawings got hauled off to the city incinerator.

I'll be cleaning out stuff this Friday, so I thought I'd let you all know that.

Please inform me if you've saved everything you wanted, because once I do this, they are gone forever.

Yeah, I'm finally going to post new artwork on this website soon.

Hopefully.

Probably.

But, I'm also wondering if I should delete some of my older stuff, seeing as how I'm rather embarassed about the general quality. So, I'm gonna encourage some of you to save the old files if you want to, because I'm gonna be randomly deleting a few images at the end of the month.

I know I haven't done much on this website, but I thank everybody who goes by and look at all the ancient works I used to do when I didn't care about proportions and frameworks and proper shading.

I don't mean this in a snide of sarcastic manner.

I'll try to put more attention to this place, but you all know I'm not actually a furry fanatic.

I got a brand-new PC. Windows 7 Professional, Pentium 4, a 75GB hard drive, and a full gigabyte of RAM.

Best computer I ever owned. Now i need to replace my scanner, and that's all.

I have uploaded a few pieces I submitted to dA in the past two months onto here, in addition to what I had brought to you guys lately. I hope you like! :)

I haven't exactly been on this site.

Well, for one, I've focused on playing more video games than I should. And, another, I just gotten full-focused back to dA.

But I don't want to neglect you guys. I posted a new sketch.

...risque ones.

Let's just say that you have to able to access pieces with an "adult content warning" on them.

Or, if you ask me politely, I'll have 'em on my Photobucket page.
