Doh! Fur Affinity ate my submission.

Well Patreon has been super hacked in a major way, they got just about everything. Email addresses, home addresses Billing addresses social security numbers even love letters to artists. To make matters worse the email they sent telling me not to panic and if I had any questions ask, came with a dead email address that bounced right back. I've decided I'm not going to use Patreon anymore, whoever did this got away with it, and I have absolutely no reason to think that the hacker /hackerteam involved won't just come back again and again. I tried to ask if they got the people involved but as I said, the fucking email they sent was dead. So what are the options aside from Patreon? What other options are there to support and encourage artists?

Well, IMVU bought FA, no problem these things happen, to be honest it was lucky that it lasted so long. So when the new owners finally get around to ruining it where's a good place to go? My guess is that IMVU is going to impose some kind of premium account or perhaps going to a pay to display frontpage.

I've been buying some work lately, and to be honest its not really the most enjoyable thing. I look around and I'm reading these artists FA and I look at their gallery and its lovely, and then I read their journals, and I discover that this wonderful artist is an absolutely horrible person who makes me ashamed that the law protects this person, and worse still, I am of the same species and would never willingly give them money.

So, you artists out there, try and present yourself as a decent human being as you try and sell your wares. If you feel obliged to pour your heart out in your journal that's fine, just make sure that you've got a good heart first.

Well time marches on. Not too much happens anymore in my life, other than a never ending cycle of work and sleep. I do wish my life was more interesting sometimes.

Well its christmas time again, and I thought I would just come out and say hello to everybody who happens to wander in here and to wish them a Wonderful Holiday season, whatever you may celebrate. If you don't celebrate something this season, not a problem just celebrate somebody elses holiday. I doubt they'd mind.

I'm not much of one for these journals, as they almost always are somebody ranting and raving and dithering on with bile and hate. I'm not going to be one of those, so help me I've seen rants complaining about all the rants.

I'm here to talk about things that worry me, some of them are pretty common worries, some of them have got to be exclusive to me. I suppose a list would do.

1. My buddy Shaun is sick. I'm really worried about him, he's been back and forth to the doctor again and again and they still don't know what it is.

2. My Brother, he's so irresponsible, he keeps on living life like there's no tomorrow, and then tomorrow comes and he can't pay the light bill.

3. My job, I like my job, its got plenty of nice easy hours sitting back and doing nothing. However it just doesn't pay enough, and I've got more and more bills to pay.

4. My Grandfather, he's growing older and older and his health gets worse and worse.

5. I don't know if I'll ever be able to go back to school. I really want to finish my degree once and for all, but I just don't have the time now.

6. The very painful bump below my ear. I don't know what it is but it hurts.

I guess there are pretty normal after all. Anyway thank you for reading this, I just needed to get these things off my chest. The sun will rise tomorrow, and things will continue.
