So yeah! As the journal title states, I am selling Johnny Foxtails.

*1-Fursuit (I am 5'5", 202 lbs)
*1- Rubberdawg hood
*Multiple Foxtails art pieces (digital and drawn)
- Including alternate form/ designs: Foxdragon, VenomNom Tails, Spiketails, etc.
*Fursona name/ ownership
= $1350 usd (shipping included), or best offer.

The reason? No, I am not leaving the fandom. I am just shedding this coat in my life. Foxtails I feel is a point of my life I am past. Now i am embracing my original idea for a fursona (before Foxtails)... a werewolf. Rugg, the Werewolf (Paul Rugg... Paul being my rl middle name). Ever since I was a kid, I always thought the concept of werewolves was cool. But not the mindless killing machine-ones. Watching an episode of LOVE+DEATH+ROBOTS with the military werewolves (Shape-shifters) and Wednesday the show having a werewolf solidified my desire to become one.

I already have a design in the works and gathered some materials for a fursuit.

Interested in Foxtails? Pictures of Fursuit and collection to come soon!

Stay tuned.

Don't eat a 1-week old boiled egg, cup of noodle (chicken flavor), a full glass of ovaltine chocolate milk, and about 2 cups of kettle corn. I ate all this in a duration of roughly within 1 hour. When I started getting pressure in my stomach, I realized I made a mistake. Not to mention that was a disgusting combination. (I hate throwing up)

But I just had bizarre cravings >_<

So how is your Sunday night?

Something about the whole Covid thing (cancelled cons, avoiding large gatherings) really killed my desire to go to furry cons, do art, or even post on this site.

I do socialize and go out... just not with furries lately. I only really hang out with two folks from the fandom,  Zentrin and my co-worker who happens to be part of the fandom. Meanwhile I hang out with mainly non-furs... "normies", if you will. And when its not friends or close co-workers, its family and their friends. I don't really have much friends on here now. Acquaintances, yes... Friends. Mmmm, no. Multiple falling-outs, and me distancing myself from folks who brought drama or even had the law rain down on them like a Husky at bath time (hot mess).

It is rather interesting though... me not being involved with the fandom much has allowed me to not only get more important things done (like working on my house and career), but also save money and gain more confidence in myself without the need to hide behind a mask or fursuit. I'm not degrading those with insecurities or those whom take pleasure through taking on another form of self... but being that I came to the fandom in the beginning because of that.... I'm past that. I guess you can say, I've grown up/ I'm growing up. I looked up to folks in the past whom I thought were worthly role models. I thought "Wow... I wish I were them". Then I realized in time, they are 40+ years old, still doing the same thing they did over ten years ago, with nothing really to show for the time, but what? A new fursuit head? A couple more drawings? Streaming art and gaming online? No job... living in a garage/ or still in their parents house... doing art to survive... always talking about big plans or projects and how a fursuit will solve all their lives problems. Not to mention they blame everyone/ everything (and/or God) for their hardships. I can only tolerate the debby-downer for so long. And Covid I'm sure has affected these folks at varying degrees.

Covid was probably the best thing to happen to me. It pushed everything aside and made me see things from another perspective and see the bigger picture and realize my accomplishments and greater capabilities. I'm 37-years old. I am a Nursing Assistant. I have two houses and I just bought another new car. It's tough times lately in the world. But I am alive, and I am thriving. My list of accomplishments and experiences is vast. I see the glass half full (not half empty). I'd like to think I'm doing something right. Anyone who thinks otherwise of me... judges me... tries to hurt me.... go FOX yourself. Just know that my self-proclaimed spirit animal is the Kitsune. A symbol of both good and bad luck. You do me wrong, paybacks a *bark*, and I believe in Karma.

So yeah, here is my journal entry, as I feel I was somewhat obligated to post one. Enjoy the videos below!


When I see drunk furries walking back to their hotel room by themselves.



Just when you think you are ahead on those monthly bills... new ones hit you mid-month with full force!



Do you got the beat? If not... beat it!

First of all, I want to wish everybody a Happy Thanksgiving. I hope that your food be great and your stomachs be full and that you do not regret anything at the end that results in the need for Tums or Pepto-Bismol.

Secondly, I will be going to L.A. Comic Con in December for Saturday and Sunday. So if anybody wants to meet up with me, or do a carpool just give me a holler. I plan to be Earthworm Jim, Mankind, Scarlet Spiderman, and Bane.

Thirdly, I got approved for vacation time for January 2023. So I plan to go to Further Confusion in San Jose. Only thing is, I need a room. So I'm reaching out to see if there's anybody who has space for one more. Naturally, I would pay my fair share of the room, and provide snacks to share. And of course, if anyone needs or is interested in a carpool, I have space in my truck.

Lastly, same goes for Biggest Little Fur Con. Approved vacation time, need a room (I might get a room), will pay in monies and snacks, and offering ride in my truck.

I've noticed alot of folks whom dissapeared from FA or from the fandom completely. With that, so have friends and acquaintences that I have known through the years.

Some due to moving away... some leaving FA because of drama with the admins... some leaving because of the drama they brought on themselves... some giving me the cold shoulder... others just going AWOL altogether.

I have severed ties with some friends and acquaintances throughout those years. I came to the realization way back when that sometimes trying to keep friendships is futile as believing I'm going to be rich and/or famous some day.

Some of those friendships were toxic. Some of them were fake. Some of them soured due to pride and prejudice. The interesting thing though.... many of those folks are no longer on this site. So perhaps I was right about my actions and not wrong about those folks.

Either way... I'm still standing. Yeah... yeah... yeah.

Property taxes be hitting me at the end of the year like.............


Kiss me fat boy. :-P


Are you ready? Here we go!


Live long and prosper.

Hey'yall! Sorry for the hiatus. I really have no excuse really for my lack of a journal entry for the past while, other than I guess not having the inspiration at the time. Hope all is well with you all. Man, alot of craziness in the world now-ah-days: Queen Elizebeth dying, Putin and his pointless war on Ukraine, Trump's private resort being raided, fires in California, Floods all over the US/ India, heat waves throughout the west coast of the USA, Covid still lingering, Drought, rising costs of everything, and all that other not-so-fun stuff.

As for me, well I'm scheduled on the 15th of this month (Sept 2022) to have surgery done on my ventral hernia's. One is right dab on my belly button, while the other is two inches above it. They are not severe, and if anything, hardly noticeable. They fainly show when I do push-ups and sit-ups. They are likely from multiple contributors varying from/ but not limited to: A Burrito Food Eating Challege, lifting 90 pound cement bags, man-handling some equipment at work, and who knows what else. My recovery period is about ten days. More than enough time for me to prep myself for my new job.

WORK STUFFS: So today I technically put in my two weeks in my current department (Hospital EVS). Yesturday I was offered (and I in turn accepted) a position at my job site (the hospital) as an Employee Heath Office Technician ! I will be located at the first floor, which has been my assigned area as EVS for nearly three years, so I pretty much know everyone, and am aware with pretty much all proceedures/ routines. So I should fit right in. The only thing is it's "out of class", which means its like a "Try-out" period for three months, then possibly extended for another three, then a full year, and eventually permanent. So I'm hoping for the best . The cool thing too is that I will have the full weekend days off, and I am also guaranteed every major and state recognized holiday off too. The staff on the first floor whom know (including my future boss) are really excited for me to join their team. I think they are just looking foward to an increase to all the free home-grown fruit and donuts I bring for them. I start on the 26th. Ten days after my hernia proceedure.

ART AND PROJECTS: I kinda sorta am doing art. Though it is mainly a passtime during my lunch breaks at work, or while waiting in lobbies of various appointments for stuff. I have been gathering all my needed materials to make my Earthworm Jim costume for this years Holloween. Yet I know procrastination will likely get the best of me, as I will likely not actually work on it until the last week of October <^.^'>

I am current working on an art piece that was a YCH. I will offer more YCH in the future. Mostly stuff I like to draw (Symbiotes and the like).

PERSONAL PROJECTS: I've been hard at work with working on the main house on my property. I've pretty much completed the basement (AKA, my little fox den hang out area). Now I am currently completing the master bedroom. I am in the process of demolishing and redesigning the closet area. Part of it will be a nook, while the other side of it will be a walk-in closet with a switch and light.

So now I leave you with the video scraps....

You can't out workout a fox. We won't let you.


It's Mosquito season... and they won't leave me alone. <T_____T>


Watching this video, I know I have met Sociopaths in the fandom. I made the mistake of befriending some in the past. This video should help you to pick up on their ques.


The 80's is todays modern.


For Now, Peace.............I'm out.

Heya'll, Johnny Two Tails here. Just checking in briefly to say what's up!

I apologize for lack of new art on my part, but I did upload some filler earlier today so my page does not appear stagnant. I've just been busy with working on my basement, various repairs and upgrades, work and all. Oh, not to mention my covid experience (symptoms only lasted a day), and how I was forced on sick leave for nearly two weeks. :-l

Though anyhow! As the title reads, yep, I'm going to Oahu, Hawaii. I'll be there with siblings and some family friends from March 4th through the 9th. We are staying at the Alouni Disney resort. While there we will be going to the Pineapple plantation, visit the Pearl Harbour memorial, hike the Crater hiking trail, take part in a louo, and much more.

Got any suggestions on what I should visit? It has to be on Oahu though. Please let me know!

Peace out til then!

Come tomorrow after I get out of work (and freshen up at home) I will be at Comic Con Revolurion in Ontario, Ca (the California one ). This is my first convention in over two years! Thanks to me being in the police academy, then being a police officer for a short while, and then the pandemic.

You going? I've never been so, I'm not sure what I'll do or see... That is, I will be taking advantage of the gym and pool. Then doing some random art, including some YCH pieces I've been meaning to do for some time.

Cosplay? Definitely
- Bane
- Mankind
- Scarlet Spiderman
- Noir Spiderman
.... and maybe Johnny Foxtails? We'll see!

So yeah! Here's to that!

Just want to wish those who celebrate it, a great day. May your bellies be full and your good memories be many.

* I am grateful for the things that I had, and the things that I have.

* I am grateful for the few but important friends that I have, and pawsitive acquaintances that I know.

* I am grateful for the life I was born into. Though my life has not been perfect, it is pretty good, with the potential to make it better.

* I am grateful for the fandom. Though it has its share of drama and toxic few, it has helped me through the awkward, the failed and the low points in my life. It has helped me to be more confident and creative, and in a sense, allowed me to be more proud of who I am... weirdness and all. So here's to you fuzz butts as a whole.


So on this day I give thanks.

<^_^>

What'up people's and scale and or fluffed things. Johnny the Fox has returned from a few month hiatus. Been so busy with human stuff lately; working on my houses/ property, working at work, working out, and just living life through this pandemic these last near two years. Hope all is well for you all.

Seattle:

So yeah! I had my Seattle trip. That was pretty cool. Like literally. The warmest it got there was like 56 degrees F. It was either raining or sprinkling the entire time we were there. We island hopped from Bainbridge to Tacoma, went to the city of Seattle and did some site seeing (went up the Space Needle, saw Pikes Place, the original Starbucks, Starbucks Reserve, etc). We also went to a hiking trail in Sasqualmie. Then we visited the lake were Ted Bundy kidnapped two girls (that he later killed).

Although I flew up there, we road tripped non-stop back down... passing through Portland, Oregon/ Mount Shasta/ Sacramento, California. That was quite a 20 hour drive.

My sisters, brother-in-law, and myself are looking to visit again next year. Though my eldest sister wants to cross the boarder into Canada for a few days. Hmmm, will see.

-UPCOMING EVENTS-

Laughlin/ Las Vegas, Nevada:
My siblings, brother in law, some counsins and friends will all be going on a road trip to Laughlin, and then Vegas next month for a total of nine days. In Laughlin, we will be staying at a house by the lake. In Vegas, we will be staying at a hotel (not sure which one yet). Maybe I might see one of you out there? Any of you have suggestions for me to see things that only the locals know about? Hidden gem-like things?


BLFC (Reno,Nv):
So now that this Covid thing seems to be slowly but surely dying down, cons look to be re-opening again! Although, BLFC in December? I might freeze in their pool >.>' . Though none the less, I am looking foward to it. The con that is... not freezing. I may wear my fursuit(s) the entire time <^.^'>.Thats right, fursuit(S)... as in two. The suit maker I comissioned about two years ago, seems to be on track to complete my new fursuit before the end of this year (crosses fingers). I'm hoping so.

I will be carpooling with and


OTHER: I paid off my truck! Yep, my 2018 Chevrolet Colorado Z71. The original sticker price was $40,000. My sisters knew a guy at a Chevy dealership that was able to get me several discounts (Loyal Chevy owner discount, Made in America discount, Employee Discount, etc.), so after taxes, it was $34,000. I had put $25,000 down. Even though my monthly bill was $149, I kept paying $300, $500, $1000 from my tax returns, etc. So a little three years later, I've got the pink slip. <^_^>

Now on to some Entertaining Vids!

Never cared for apes much... but this gorilla's got moves.


Im a rather short guy. So some extra large kids clothes fit me. X-p


Theres too much anger in the world now-ah-days. Love is the answer.


Lets Polka!


So I bid you a Magadan Hapon! Masarap! (trying out my Tagalog)

So yeah, I'm taking a flight tomorrow to Seattle. Spending my birthday there with family. My brother-in-law's close friend will be house sitting my dogs and house(s).Am excited and nervous. Excited since I've never been to Washington state. Nervous because I'm flying up there and then carpooling back down with family ( I get bad motion sickness). Dramamine, my friend, treat me gently, treat me well.

So! Washingtarians; any suggestions for me to site see? I plan to check out the original starbucks, look at haunted places, and do some hiking. Till then, peace out for now!

Greetings furries, friends, folks, fiends, freaks, and everything else you can label someone starting with the letter "F".... you "F"-ers?
Heh heh...

Just making the routine check-in to let my "F"ans know I'm still very much around. Not a whole lot to report. Man, already in November, eh? This year... it just like, came and went. Election for the next U.S. President is currently happening. Looks like that Biden guy is gonna win. Not going to be any better I'm sure. the problem with most presidents is they are the decendants of rich priveledged folk who are so disconnected from average Joe-American that they don't even know what is best for this country. I know what this country needs, but if it were up to me, alot of countries would hate me and my ideals. I believe in American preservation and independence which means: Little to No outsourcing, minding our own business (not getting into the problems of other countries... no more world police, little involvement in NATO), using our own natural oil resources with mandated transitions into alternative fuel sources that leave very little carbon foot print within a twenty year transition period... and re-writing the Northern American Free-trade Agreement to better benefit American jobs/ production. In other words, I'm pretty Pro- Isolationism.

Anyway, enough about politics. I've got nothing more to say other than entertainment video's yo! *points down* Clicky clicky. <^_^>

Can't tell a fox no. <^_^>


When you fall off things, make it look like you planned to, with style!


Did I mention I like sock puppets? <@w@>


I dedicate this song to the people of 2020. RELAX


I go now.

Well here we are in August of 2020. Been an interesting year I must say. Hope all of you are staying safe, but still staying active (in one way or another).


This is why I don't do cooking tutorials for youtube.


Trippy dogs be like "Oh shiz, human. A bear! I ain't movin'."



To be furry is to be human.



These are crazy times in the land of Confusion.

Hello Hello all you freaks, fiends, friends, and fetishest! Yep, I'm back!
Well, technically I never left you, so don't cry for me Argentina.

I've just been so busy with life and such. Building a storage shed, attending and completing the Police Academy, working as a Police Officer.... you know, basic stuff. Heh heh.

POLICE OFFICER: So yeah! I'm a Police Officer, fully legit with badge, uniform and license to conceal and carry. I feel like Nick Wilde in ZPD . It has not been all smooth I tell you. Although I was #1 through the athletic (PT) portion of the academy, I barely inched by in the lecture part. I am a terrible test taker. YET! We could only fail three tests in the academy. I failed two..... *sigh of relief*.

We did not have much of a graduation, since it was the week all the Corona Virus crap started going into effect. Social distancing, no large gatherings, academy's will be postponed or cancelled, yadda yadda yadda. After the day we graduated, the following day we went to work.

For two weeks my fellow cadets and I were mandated to work 16 hour shifts. Most of us only averaging 2 to 3 hours of sleep in between days. That was killer. I thought they were hazing us. Some of us were talking about quitting too! I was weighing the possibility of going back to my old department a few times (Janitorial). Though none the less, I'm here!

This week has actually changed mandated overtime. My department (and several other departments at my job) are now on a 12 hour shift (emergency) schedule. The days are all weird. For instance; I work(ed) Sun, Wed, Thur while I am off Mon, Tues, Fri, Sat, Sun this week... and it changes week to week.... but still adds up to my full-time schedule pay at the end of the year. It does away with mandated overtime... but we are allowed to work overtime on our weekends.

Overtime? Hah! I'll pass. My time is worth more than money, and the pay is pretty damn good the way it is. At this time, I am pretty much being paid to be an overpaid "Caution Cone", directing traffic, handing out masks to staff, just making my presence known to deter crime.

Anywho, I am starting to get my time back, my groove back, my arting back. So expect to see art, costumes and random shinanigans again.

So lastly I leave you with some entertaining videos:

A story I have been writing about, Foxtails (my fursona) is found/ rescued by a dragon clan at one point. They welcome him into there group. This is the song of their tribe.


Don't trust cats <T.T>


I should dress as MANKIND and do a re-enactment of this commercial with fursuiters :-D


You are my best friend, and we got some shart to shoot!


*drops keyboard and walks away* PEACE! I'm out!

Heya folks who have stuck around to see me pop my head out of my den once in a while! Wanna know what I have been up to? Well, let us begin.

FURSUIT commission from Cavity Sam: So I commissioned  cavitysam over a year and a half ago for a VeNom Nom Tails fursuit. For months she kept saying she was going to email/note me on the progress of it. Late September of this year she said she would have it done just before L.A. Comic Con. Well that time came and went. She has stopped responding to my messages. Her page has not been updates in six months, and I am not in her comission que. Anyone know what is going on with her, and how I can get A hold of her.?

MY TWO HOUSES/ PROBELM WITH CONTRACTORS : So as many of you know, my dad passed away March 16th, 2019. I ended up with his property (two homes, cars,etc). I had hired a contractor to work on the main house (my dads house). He did what many called a front load (kept charging me for unfinished work), bait and switch (I'd pay for something, he'd substitute it with something cheaper), and took advantage of a person in mourning (I paid him because I wanted the work done). I eventually fired him after having enough of him coming up with excuses as to why he could not show up to work on the house... and even found that his work was shotty and he was cutting corners. Of the $118,000 ( part of the insurance money I was left from my dad) that I paid him, he only did about $25,000 worth of work. The last time we met, he tried to justify (likely not having the money) by saying he HAD the right to charge me premium (eventhough that was not in the contract). Please note, he bought a BRAND NEW Dogde Work Van while working on my house. Gee, wonder where that money came from. So he basically walked off with the money, and left my house in shambles with a fraction of material I paid for, and a $#!+ job on my house. If it wasn't for the second house (my dad and I built), and some money left over from the insurance, I would have been S.O.L. I have been struggling to find a way to get him to be judged for his actions (in court), but have been having a hard time with attorneys too. Disconnected bastards that have been wasting my money too, with asking me questions I already answered, and then telling me they can't represent me. Anywho, these are some links affiliated to him. His bond is expired, his license revoked, and many of his numbers don't work, yet I know the bastard is still working (under a guise of possible a journeyman). He had me pay cash because he did not want his ex-wife to see bank deposits that she could claim in alimony! Don't trust him! Spread the word!

BUILDING A SHED : I had an old shed in my back yard that was falling apart. So I destroyed that thing, and am now building a new one in its place. Looking awesome thus far... but man, a lot of wood, a lot of screws. I have been jumping between projects of the main house and the storage shed.

POLICE ACADEMY!!! : This is my last week as a janitor. Next week I will be a Police Officer Cadet, scheduled to start the Police Academy on December 9th. Gonna see this fox with a badge! Look out Nick Wilde. There's gonna be a new copper fox in town .

KIRIBAN: For anyone who can snap shot my FA page right at the 62,000 niews mark, post a link to the image of the epic moment ON THIS JOURNAL (DO NOT NOTE ME!). Once I determine who is the lucky winner, I will ask for details of ONE CHARACTER, ONE SCENARIO. It will be inked. Cannot be combined with any other special offers. Time of completion may vary, due to other priorities. Though I guarantee it will get done eventually .

NOW TIME FOR ENTERTAINMENT! :


When you realize the adorable fursuiter is not so adorable underneath!



I'm not gonna lie... the pup fandom lifestyle has kinda been growing on me. >.>'



Cheesy 80's song... makes me think of my dad who passed last year.



We are all struggling with hard times. Lets sing about it!

So yeah. The End??? <o-O>

SO! Sadly my friend  shinfox was done wrong from his job, thus resulting in him not being able to attend BLFC.  gdzeek also is not able to attend, so that left it down to  gol22 and myself. Us two with a $1000+ room cost. Yeeeeaaaah, we canceled our room.

HOWEVER! We found a room from Thursday through Monday.

YET! One problem. We were planning on arriving on Wednesday, yet our roommates will not be around, nor have the room until the following day. Thus that leads me to do the begging stance. Anyone got space for two dudes (slash fox and dog... I think he's a dog) for Wednesday only? Naturally we can pay money. Although if you prefer payment in some other way like art, food or whatever, I can do that too.

If not, it's okay. We might just stay at some dinky motel nearbye… or worse come to worse, sleep in my truck. Hopefully it does not come down to that <^.^'> .

If you don't have a room and/ or you are not attending, yet you know someone you think might be able to help us, please let them know our situation! I might include a little thank-you thing (probably art) for you too!!!

Anywho… am gonna start packing. I pack like Mary Poppins with lamps and stuff in little bags.

So I have arrived! Not like it was much of a drive... just 25 minutes south of where I live <^.^'> .
Though none the less, staying at the hotel is part of the whole experience! I don't feel stressed with traffic and going back and forth and so on.

I am staying at the Irvine Hilton, from tonight (Thursday) until Sunday, noon. and I are the only ones in the room. Don't know how that happened. Was hoping to get others in the room, but no one bit... at least the ones I noted via personal message. Well, it's okay. Not costing me too much. HOWEVER, if you ARE looking for a room, I have space for two or three, at a rate of $80 for the whole duration. The room is a 2-Full bed stead. Staying/ or not staying tonight does not change the rate.

If you are interested, I only ask that you not be a creeper, bathe, brush your teeth, keep your stuff to your area, no drama, NO STEALING, and don't get $#!+ face drunk that you are falling over everything, and barfing everywhere. Oh, and pay when you first meet with me to avoid awkwardness of me having to ask you at the last minute.

Note me or respond to this journal. Or if you have my number, call me!

The parking at the hotel is $10 for those staying in a room.


I plan on writing a follow-up journal to this in the topics of:

- Biggest Little Fur Con (BLFC)
- The Late, Dogbomb
- My car accident!
- Personal issues with life and all that fun stuff


Now I leave you with some video stuff.

The Prince has fallen...


For all you vore weirdo fans out there. >_>


Does this song play in heaven when I arrive?


This song seems inspiring.



And that's the way it was. <OwO>

Yep, it's official. I passed my state board exam for the CNA program. Will be using that baby (certification) toward the Psychiatric Technician Assistant (PTA) at my job at the mental hospital. Both the staff and patients that I know are excited for me. Yeah the position of PTA pays more than EVS (what I am now), but the reason why I am looking forward to this new job is; NO MORE UNIFORMS!

I have been wearing uniforms for over 13 years; Security, Food Service Tech, EVS. I am ready to shed that "form" and no longer be "uni", but wear what I want to wear .


Oh, and tomorrow 11/10/18, I will be attending the annual Fur B Que in Irvine regional park.


Next Sunday (18th), I will make every effort to take part in the Pasadena Doo Dah parade. Been wanting to do that for years now.

'til then, peace out.

Yep, am going to attend the whole con duration. I will be staying at the Ramada Hotel in L.A. with  shinfox .

We were supposed to have other folks join the room, but yeah, they did not survive for this years sequel. >.>

None the less, I do plan for an awesome time... will even be meeting up with a co-worker whom I discovered by accident that is into comics and Venom-themed stuff.

Hope to see some familiar folks at the con! I know I will at least see two or three fursuiters. I am debating on fursuiting myself. I try to keep my fursuiting fanatics exclusive to furry cons... but I deviate during Anime Expo (AX) some years.

So yar, that be it for this journal. Enjoy some random video favorites of mine.

<^_^>

What are little sisters for? Oh you know, amusement. X3


BLAST OFF!!!



We may have little fur, short muzzles, pathetic hidden tail bones, and (some) have no sharp canines... but we're still animals.

That sounds like something I do not mean for it to sound like. <^.^'>

Yeah, this is just a little check-in to say hello to folks. Some folks (not a whole lot) seem to be concerned about me since I have been hiatus from the Prancing Skiltaire (PS), and nearly inactive on any sites I am affiliated with. Well I assure you that I am very much still alive. I have just been busy with work on the weekdays, school on the weekends (for my CNA certification... halfway done!), and of course working on my dads house. We have been doing some serious repairs and upgrades to my dads house. Soon as it is done, I plan on having a big BBQ in rememberance of my parents. That probably will not be until early next year >.>

STAN LEE's COMIC CON:

There is one more convention I am to attend before the end of the year. Comikaze, or now known as Stan Lee's Comic Con. I will be attending the whole duration of the con, Oct 26th through the 28th. I will be staying at The Ramada Hotel in L.A. So far I have  shinfox  gdzeek and myself in the room. I am looking for two more roomies. Anyone want in? Price for the room share is $90. Parking is free, but limited. I am offering a carpool, and offering to pick up folks at the Norwalk train station, and drop them off at the L.A. station after the end of the con. I will be at the hotel noon of the 25th, so folks can choose to check in a day early if they like.


FC- FURTHER CONFUSION:

Eventhough it is a few months early, my friend and myself are already looking for potential FC room shares. Got any available? I want it!

Naturally for any convention, I always brings snacks for everyone, and I usually buy pizza for the room on Saturday nights.


COMISSIONS AND TRADES:
I am in the process of doing some artwork... SLOWLY but surely. This is my que.
- shinfox = Bowser TF, Ref sheet
- DerrickSoderberg = Goo take-over, 2 pics
- Surprise comic strip

Now time for some Flickers!

Some dogs don't want to be your best friend.



younger siblings are usually the butt of a joke.


I might see you some time today, tomorrow.


It's all in the past. Lets make History....


Goodbye.... Goodbark

Greetings subdivision of the strange human kind (AKA, furries) !


So here we are in June. Halfway through the year. Went by fast. Like I did not see that coming. Yes, it has not been exactly an easy task having to live life without my dad. Man, I though it was hard when I lost my mom 13 years ago. It is a hard thing to think about, knowing that my grandparents and my parents have passed on.


Though to change the subject to a more happy tone! Anime Expo is next month! I will be going! I shall be staying in a room with and two of his non-furry friends (I guess they kinda sorta are my friends now for the last 4 years I have known them?) . We are staying at the Millenium Biltmore in Los Angeles during the whole duration of the con. Looking forward to not belonging (I am not a big fan of Anime)! Yet, I shall show off costumes naturally .


As a follow up to my hand injury: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/27491130/ , the doctors are saying I do not need surgery. However, I have been loading up on Glucosamine Chondroitin to strengthen my bones and encourage heeling of the strained tendon. The stuff tastes like blood >___< ! It is one of the most disgusting tasting liquids I have ever had.

So yeah, this is just a check-in to say hello and such. So now I leave you with a good bye and some entertaining videos!


It ain't easy being a fox in this world. But who says we don't like a good challenge?



Trust no one <O______O>.




When the night comes, help me count the stars.

So yeah, I had a sucky last two months. My dad died, and every night is a another reminder that another day came and went without him. However, each passing day is not as hard as the first was. I had a panic attack the night after my dad died. Of all places, it happened at a party that I was originally set to attend (on my mothers side). That proved to be a mistake as I nearly fainted that night, and almost had relatives call 911.
....................................
I’m hurting… but I am moving on.

What is so bizarre is the fact that I pretty much own everything my dad had… which was a lot more that I ever realized. He did not leave me with enough to not work, but enough to work with. There was almost no debt to anything. The house is nearly paid off. Even his funeral was pre-paid. After all, my mom purchased all of our burial plots well before she passed (2005). My parents were both the type to always plan ahead… and they did to the end. Man, my parents sacrificed a lot for their kids. I just pray that it not be in vein. I need to be smart with my resources and make sense of my time.

Though at the same time, I need to live.

**BLFC= Thus why now I ask at the literal last minute, does anyone have a room for BIGGEST LITTLE FUR CON (BLFC 2018) that they are willing to open their door to both my friend and myself? Naturally we will pay for our room share costs. We would likely show up Day 0 and leave a day AFTER the con. I always bring food for the roommates to snack on/ share… and I have this tradition of buying pizza for the room on Saturday night. Please let me know as time is very short to convention time. *does dog beg*

Now let’s brighten up this journal a bit:

Warning to potential future con roommates. I may be tempted to do this to you. XD



Birds know when you’ve got good taste in music.



Let me see you shake that tail, old’skool style.

In my previous journal I had stated that my dad was ill and in the hospital. He had been dealing with emotional distress, caused by his job and the death of a family friend last month. It sparked memories of my mother (who passed back in 2005), the loss of his mother (2012), my grandfather (2017), and the loss of numerous friends/ acquaintances he grew up with/ went to school with.

He worked as a EKG Monitor Tech for over five years, and took pride in his work. However, there was an event that he experienced that caused him to have PTSD- like symptoms. For safety reasons, he was admitted into a Psychiatric facility this last Sunday. He checked himself in on his decision, and checked out himself out yesterday. He appeared to be hopeful, and spoke of things he needed done to improve his health. Driving him home, he and I discussed about how it was difficult, but he would get well in time, and that I, his family, and friends were there for him. I was the last one to see him, and the last one to speak to him. I found him this morning... he had taken his own life. A note was left showing that it was his decision, for us to love each other, to love God, and that he loved his children. He also had a Bible and some printed papers with Bible verses printed on it.

I apologize if this journal seems without emotion, because I am tired. I have been crying on and off all day. Also, I have been dealing with a lot of phone calls and paper work.

Thankfully I have the support of my sisters, family and friends.

I am moving forward... it is what he would want. No, he would want me to excel, and build strength on this unfortunate event.

RIP

PS- I apologize to those whom I owe art two, obviously at this time I do not have the drive to draw/ color. I will eventually get to your art when I can.

So without indulging you in too much information, I have become my dads executor of his estate. His house(s), money, cars, etc. I own all of it.

No, my dad did not die. He is not on a respirator or feeding tube. I am just hoping that this period and series of events do not last long. I hope he has a speedy recovery.

I worry for my little sister. I worry that I may make the wrong decisions. I am going to have a stressful next few days/ weeks/ months.

This means a lot of paper work, payments, legal jargon, etc.

The good thing is that I have resources that he has set for me to work with. I can pay off the house, buy things if needed.

I just hope my job alone is enough to sustain what we have now. I make good money, but I am not rich... and neither was (is) my dad.

Gggrrrruhhhh.

I may have to cancel some upcoming conventions I was to attend. I will also have to adjust my monthly expenses.

Ain't my life interesting? <=_____=>

Heh, I figure that was a pretty creative title. I love my socks, I’ve got cool rocks, and I admire those Symbiotes <^_^> .
So… mid-March already, huh? Damn, this year is going by too fast. I mean shoot, my birthday just shot on by! Oh! Yeah, forgot to tell you folks that yeah, I had one of those birth celebration annual events happen yet again recently (Feb 18th) Am now 31! Though I assure you, I still have the agility and pep of a 22- year old in college sports . Age is but a number, a state of mind. I chose to say that I would stop aging after age 27. Hopefully my slowly receding hairline eventually gets the memo >.>’ .

Let’s see now:


BLFC= I am going! I have my vacation time set, however I (and likely my friend,  shinfox ) need a room! Got space? I want it! Money shall be provided. Food will be too… and Naturally I always buy pizza for that room on Saturday nights.


CALIFUR= Definitely I am going. I’m waiting for the hotel room block to open up so I can get a room. Will be my 10th Anniversary of attending this con. I was 21 when I first went :-O .


VENOM MOVIE= I love symbiotes, but the trailer(s) have yet to impress me. I am upset with the idea of them going with a non- American for the part of Eddie Brock. I mean shoot, they already had Spider- British boy (Man). Then again, I hate Eddie Brock and Peter Parker… I just admire the symbiotes in the stories/ comic books. So I guess they can cast the Queen of England as Carnage for all I care.

OH! My page is nearly at 57,000 views. Anyone who (is first that) catches it at this number shall win the most glorious amazing thing in this world... a free pen sketch of their choice from me. You must be a watcher to qualify for this unique opportunity. DO NOT send me a note. Post a link on this journal showing proof of the number at 57,000.


So now I end this journal on a note of entertainment for your thoughts…


Fast food at a whole-nutha-leva .


Bloody rabbits <O.o>


Adventure is out there! Play some good adventure music while you seek it!


Love is too complicated. So lets just enjoy.
