Well I knew this was going to happen sooner or later.

Here I am at work, just working on this big wheeled donk. Im under the car securing brake lines and its a little chilly. so i open the garage door to let some sunlight and warm air in..... ah sunlight! :3 so back to work under the car i go, when i hear "meeeew!" from a distance. i look around to the best of my ability, but see nothing. i keep working. I hear it again! So i get out from under the car and walk over to my coworker and assume hes making that noise. he looks at me and says, "bro, are you on meth today? there's no effin cat in here!" :l k dude. so i alk back to the car and get set to lay on the creeper..... when suddenly. this fluffly little orange tabby cat shoots out from under the car! WTH?! HOWD YOU GET IN HERE SO FAST? WHY DID YOU ALMOST MAKE ME DO A 360 CARTWHEEL FRONT FLIP ON THE ROLL AROUND CREEPER? But at least my coworker believes me now... Thats my day so far x3

Yeah, I disappear then reappear a lot if you haven't noticed.

But Hi there to my new watchers, hey there to my friends and *hugs* to everyone :3 This week has been a pretty busy one at work for me. Pulled 3 14 Hour days staying until midnight finishing up performance packages on cars. WORTH IT!

Haven't had much time to doodle this week, but got two small things done for someone I own because I'm taking waaaaaaaaayyyyy too long. But I'm still working.

Videogames... Ill be playing those all night tonight because My PC and PS4 missed me, and i missed them too lol.

So You know where to find me if you want to chat. Ill be looking at my notifications.

Of Course I'm going!

No suit yet, but starting to get something worked on and may at least have footpaws done. but I dont plan to have a suit made until GFM in May.

Roommate needed? Depends. I will be going all 3 days, and from the rates that im looking at. if anyone wants to room with me and get a double bed room its less than $200. or we can cheap out and get a single bed and have a snuggle struggle for the comfy spot :p

Yeah, thats pretty much it. sooooo If someone is looking for a room. let me know and we can work on something. Im excited!!!!

Hi guys. Finally picked up a ps4 with Driveclub and GTA V. if anyone wants to chat or play games. add me!

Hi watchers new and old! :D

I'm going to try and start doing a weekly journal update.

This week I will be starting on one of my Art Waffle drawings. There's still two more spots, just read my "1000 pg views journal."

Putting in my two weeks notice at work. I found a better job! WHOO!!!!

Getting back into my music projects, revived a possible album I've had back logged for the past year or two for no reason.

It's COLD outside... and I can't find my 2-5 different pairs of gloves... Geezers

If you live in, around, or by Fort Worth, Texas, and draw or just like to meet some friendly artists, play nintedno 3ds games, or card games. Come on down to the

Shonuff! Sketch Studio Dojo
at the Collected: Your Pop Culture Headquarters
3502 Blue Bonnet Cir, Fort Worth, Texas 76109

This Wednesday November 19, 2014 @ 7:00PM

We even stream the event if the laptop is working correctly.... Lawl

We draw, be silly, draw more, laugh. Its a great time! I'll be bringing cupcakes this week lol.

Well those are my plans for the week. Time for me to get started. Bye-Buy!

CIAOWOW!!!

Yet I sometimes lack the motivation or confidence to post or finish more. Busy with finding another job where I can get my paws on more demanding automotive work, also something where I can spend a little more time at home.

Things are going great other than that. Need more fur or car meets close or in Fort Worth Texas. I also need a pizza.. im hungreh.

the other day I decided to offer someone on facebook free art amd was updating them on the progress. made a simple but awesome background and was going to show them today..... amd they deactivated their facebook because they started drama... *facepalm* well.... ill be a nugget in a biscuit. if I had a nickel for everytime a furry started drama... I'd be.... nickelous cage *epic death metal rimshot* :D I could always throw something else in there. just felt like ranting before I fall asleep lol.

Hi, Thanks for the 1000 visits! Pageviews! stranger danger moments!... stuffs! lol

To celebrate, I'll do what everyone else does.

OFFER FREE ART!

....Yay : D


Pretty Simple.

I will be taking 3 winners at random.
It can be art dealing with a, background, character, fan art of your request, or art containing to the theme of the question. Or I can do a poem if you'd like, nothing compared to a novel, just something that expresses what you want me to.
*But note, due to me being distracted by a few other personal projects... this could take time to finish, but I will keep you updated of my progress!*

The winners will be notified by note and I will update this journal when this is over.

First and foremost. Here we go!

"If you were a breakdancer, what would be your favorite dance move, and how does that relate to your personality?"

I ask, because while I was in a private middle school, we had awesome after school electives, breakdancing was one awesome option, but was quickly taken by those that did not use it to their full potential. I stuck with Model RC planes. One day while building a Model RC plane, I was out in the corridor when I heard the breakdance instructor talking about dancing and how it matches your personality. The guy had some amazing moves and the way he flowed really described how he felt and how he expressed himself."

I could go on and on about how I regret not getting some street dancing lessions, butt... I want to hear from you! ^_^

Yeah, pretty much sums it up. I have been super busy working, getting into newer groups and hangouts. I found this super awesome artists group that sooner or later I will post stream links to check us out and see what we do. There are amazing talented artists... then you have me. :D the one who gets inspired by the kind hearted souls who love to draw.

I'm starting a retro video game collection! as i picked up my first ever Sega Dreamcast and plan to play games sooner or later.

The car guy is strong with me as the automotive portion of my youtube is in the works and I have a few videos started, just have to put together.

Im going to my brother's Wedding and it will be great as the family will be back together once again.

Music, is going slowly, as I have to find the time and groove to get back at it again.

SUPER SMASH BROS 3DS..... I dont have yet, but I will soon. anyone that reads these and wants my friend code, just let me know.

Well, that sums up this week. I will be in and out of my own office *mind* as I get to relax the rest of this week.

-CIAOWOW!

well its finally here. the cabbit's 21st birthday! haven't had a drink yet... but thats soon to happen lol. im happy that im still alive, have great friends. good physical health though mental could be better. my life is doing well and im happy to have pretty awesome friends, both furry and human. heres to another year of awesomeness! Ciaowow!

ok. I feel ive been idle too long on actually getting some art done. So to help with this, Im coming up with some ideas.. which should also boost me to my 1000 pageviews on FA. I will also be doing some free art on my sofurry page because I dont do much there as well.... lol I forgot I have an inkbunny butt its not related to this account at all.

so without further to do... *pulls out glasses and wags my tail smiling*

For my FA Account

There will be a drawing of some sorts where I will choose two winners to get some free art. basically I will be a question and answer of some sorts that ties into a story of some sorts, and you will have to note me the answers or send them to an email account that I will get set up.

For my 1000 page views I will make a journal stating the first to comment with the correct answer will win a art commission.

thats 3 chances to win something here. and on my so furry I will be writing poems. more on that later. keep an eye out for some artz :)

After I get my Texas license/id stuff and head to work to process stuff. I think I will start writing scripts for my youtube channel.

Why? Because I feel that if im not careful, my future videos will just be rambling and run ons and so far off topic ill be on the moon. I dont want to write scripts where im acting horribly, just like pace notes or something to keep me on the subject of the video.... unless its me acting horribly. I may try to get a videogame review in obe of these days or something. .. but I already miss doing the weekend powerplay videos with my friends. it was a bonding moment for us. if people found it funny or not those are my friends that have been there for me and with me for quite some time and it was cool to do that with them though our schedules were super busy.....

....wait.... i did it again :p

I hope to get something started tomorrow as I want to review automotive products. I have a mpg economy analyzer that I have to finish testing.... and maybe do a life update.. or introduction and such. hmm. ill like to see where this goes.

Does anyone have experience with how a script or pacenotes help them while shooting video? or do you just prefer off the top of your head filming?

As the title states... I AM NOW LIVING IN TEXAS. I will miss all of my fuzzy friends back in Missouri, but I believe I have ways to stay in touch with them... like here on FA!... whenever I check it lol. other than that it feels pretty good to be a technical college graduate. I may do a quick review on my school and post it to youtube. it was pretty good and worked well for me.

Now I must begin my adult life and start working. getting registered with the state of Texas and what not....

at least I dont have homework lol.

Only 9 days remaining until I officially graduate from technical college. I dont know how im retaining my excitement but its working. I got my performance suspension final out the way where I had to weigh and scale a car with my friend. Friday I have my post test for Government, and my final for Sheetmetal Fabrication where im finishing up a basic aluminum door panel for a foxbody ford mustang.

No more homework, but I have to finish my last 7 online ford mlr courses before graduation. working on taking 2-3 a day. as long as I keep focus. I can do that.

Friday I bring my car into the shop to remove the transmission for a new clutch. Finishing the job Monday.

Trying to sell off this other project car that I couldnt get finished, but only got so far as both engines are cleaned and honed ready to be put back together. no time to finish unfortunately. I would love to take it to texas with me. but wont have space and what not.

I still have a lot to do.... but geezers do I feel good! so good I even drew and colord something!

....awww yeah.

i promise more music and journals that make sense sooner or later after school is finished lol.

so to make this journal interesting. .... How are you? starts a random topic and see where it goes.

Well. I have a bit to talk about.

First.

The St. Louis Gateway Furmeet convention was amazing! That being my first ever Furry convention allowed me to celebrate the fandom with other fuzzies. I really liked that I wore my tail that my friend Soydira made and people were complimenting me... even people who had no idea what we were doing. *cheers to being brave enough to support the fandom outside on the streets of downtown st. louis lol :p* Everyone who volunteered and helped run things did a great job and I will definitely return next year for 2015. theres too much for me to talk about there.

Second.
school is winding down and my emotions are starting to flip out. everytime I get close to graduating, I feel happy. that im getting out of school and will be walking across the stage getting my degree this time. then sad that some pretty cool people I met, I will never see them again. a roller coaster for a ton of things. but glad I wont have to put up with my roommate anymore.

Third.
I was coloring one of my pieces of art work today when I heard this song come on my youtube playlist and I suddenly stopped and wanted to burst into tears. being a guy like me and hearing the powerful sad sounding piano keys felt like too much to me with all the stuff going on. specially with the thought of moving and leaving sone amazing friends in the furry community behind. I will miss you all.

I need to meditate or something to clear my head so I can sleep...

But I will end on a strong note.
Its ok to feel your emotions.. thats what makes you human... or fuzzy, whichever you prefer. Never give up. if you've made it so far why stop now? push hard and finish strong! laugh and smile more! Yeah moving sounds bad but you can always come back to visit friends. A real friend will never forget you. Last but not least. be yourself and love yourself. .. cept don't be narcissistic. ...thats weird. I mean seriously.... I dobt wana be the first to physically somehow f*** myself... neither should you unless its some life long dream.... or you take things people say waaaaaaayy to seriously.

xD I should stop before ppl start to worry about me lol.

you guys have a good night. day. week. and I will do my best on getting back to posting music and or art.

Its going down for like the 1st time in my life!

Im going to my first Furry convention!

St. Louis is now home to the New Gateway Furmeet Convention. I don't know what to expect but I do know some of the people putting this idea into play so it should be great.

I will be there giving hugs and receiving random hugs and remarks. Remarks? I dont know why. :p

Not in suit because I don't have one. but one of these days when I have a great reference of my fursona ill get to it.

I WONT HAVE A DEALERS DEN TABLE BUT I WILL HAVE SOME HAND FABRICATED KEYCHAINS!

-Mini Metal chocolate bars
-Giant Metal chocolate bars
-Initial keychains
-Metal Dogbone keychains

I know for a fact that they will all available for sale for under $10 each but since im hand crafting these during my automotive class... I dont know how many I will have available. I working on getting a preview ready. so if you're interested. let this cabbit know!

Hope this convention rocks now and for many years to come!

-Chowow! *my catchy way of saying ciao... or cee ya!*

well that took a lot longer than expected. .. but I finally upgraded my computer to windows 7 professional 64 bitz. thats like..... 32 extra bitz! WOOOOOOAHAAAAAHAAAA!

Life has been very busy, last semester of college is underway custom fabricating a street rod for my class. building hondas. maintaining my eclipse and getting it ready for inspection on a limited time frame... fun stuff.

Anyway, I will be getting back to making more music since I got my FL studio and all its plug ins set back up....

Drawing wise? ive been pretty busy here and there planning on digitally inking some things this weekend before uploading. so ill see how that goes. I may even do some traditional art. been a long time. but thants my little update from me.

So Yeahh, I don't always post, but When I do... Its the same cabbit... Well rabbit, then cat bunny... Eenh, uh cabbit... So Since I'm So close to 500 Views, who ever is the 500th View I will try to do a side portrait of your character! :D Because I want to draw something different for a bit. Hey, keep drawing your fursona and making improvements is great, but I wanna do additional things lol. So, drop me a note, screen capture it, and let me know... That'd be great. Thanks!

Rules for the 500 Pageviews sketch

It will be a basic black and white sketch

Send me details of your fursona, I will try my best to complete what you requested.

Only Clean Head shots/ upper torsos only.

Its winter break, and i dunno what i will be doing, but I will try to complete within a week or two.

In your note, if you have a skype, send it to me so i can show you progress and stuffs.

Last note, just be nice and cool about this so i may continue to do more! =D

Thanks, looking forward to working with the winner!!!!

Been a long time since I've been working on stuff. But I took a Wyle (get it? because thats my fursona's name?... oh well) off to get my schedule and stuff together with my new job. I haven't forgotten about my music at all. I try somethin new where I put my demos on cd or mp3 and listen to them in car. they sound balanced speaker and bass wise. ive been making sketches here and there as well and trying to color some more. but I just hope to be more active in the meantine. Ciao

Hiya to those that read these. First off i would like to send out thoughts and prayers to those affected by this evening's tornado and thunderstoms including myself. all is fine here but caused quite a bit of panic because my mom tried to rush home to rescue me and a friend from the safety of the closet. she is safe as well.... I wish everyone severely affected a safe and quick recovery....

ok now on to the main journal yo!.....

Recently ive been playing video games and now that I feel like it. im starting to post my gameplay footage on youtube. yes the oh so sudden popular play alongs. the latest I have done was a good one. a 3 player super smash brothers brawl video. I plan on doing more, but just thought id share because this is what will be taking uo most of my time next to working on automotive car videos over the summer......unless this guy gets a job .... which I could use. but not this week my sleep schedule has been drastically altered....

It's been a while. Taking tests at school and putting engines together. But I finally got back to working on my music after recovering everything... This time I moved FL Studio over to my 1 TB third storage drive so whenever I get VSTs and what not They wont have to be reinstalled.

But I've been thinking about changing my musician/stage.. whatever you want to call it name.

Alphabass 808 is cool and all but its kinda long and I figured out its been used a lot before (Though I'm the most active with the name).

So maybe I might change it, but the other name I had was longer and sounds like a trance composer, or a car aftermarket tuner lol. Ill keep thinking about it and continue making music, drawing, being silly, studying, you know... the usual Xp

Well, I've been away for a while due to school, the lack of time, and a computer software crash. >,< Im back and While my computer was down, I did get to upgrade it with a new case, video card, and 2 more GB of RAM! YAAAY!

But with this I bring good news and bad news... Good news I recovered most of my stuff, games files...... other files we should say, but the bad news. My automotive projects and some of my drawings were lost. Good thing I backed up the drawings. So my apologies if I'm silent for a little while longer, I have to get my Fruity Loops studio 10, Kork nanokey and stuff set back up before I can continue to work on anymore music. But I'm still sketching, I picked up about 5 books on how to draw anime and furries, so I'm going to see what I learn from them.

Until next time... I also found a Roxio Game Capture! WIN!!!!

Hiya. I don't know if anyone reads these, but I'm still getting better at the drawings and such. I even took 5 minutes to work on coloring and lighting. but the main focus of this journal is just me updating my fursona.

Let me start by saying his white fur and frost or ice powers was a holiday thing in December, I just keep it up because..... I still never took down my Christmas Tree. lol I'm late

but I'd also like to make a shout out to my new love for helping me shape my fursona to suit me. :)

changes to my fursona,
black fur,
right ear has blue fur and 3 neon ring piercings
left hand and right foot has blue fur.
yellow and a blue eye (the yellow might change)
still has The awesome wacky but friendly personality and love of music and cars.
he's taller at 6"1 like me in real life.

so with this I guess I am trying to say, I may start drawing fursonas for people or maybe ref sheets just like everyone else. so far I have one picture almost done but maybe when I finish it and manage time better, I could just start with one at a time.

I'll give a notice in a journal whenever I do so.

well that's it for this random journal... until next time...... I still crave pancakes.

Hiya, just a small update. I've been working more on sketching bodies, hair, eyes, hand, and feet (=3) again with the spare time I have. I'm in the process of selling my 2001 eclipse spyder, and preparing my 1996 eclipse for autocross. April is just around the corner and I want to be apart of the first event this year.

I'm also trying to see if I can design shirts to help fund my autocross season this year, More details and design ideas in another journal....

Did I mention my automotive blog is up and off to a good start????

CHECK IT OUT PWEASE!!! if you're a car person. Also spread the word! Thanks

That's all for now... Until next time!
