I'm going to Dallas TX
Dallas TX here I come.
They got some crazy little furries there
and I'm gonna get me one.

Apologies to Chubby Checker. XD Anyroad, hope to see you guys there!

Behold, beefy Luigi. (yum)

I can't write home about you
I can't write home about you
Folks back home
They got a four-letter word about it
I heard about you

Okay. Seriously. I am thinking of ending the Bar Jocks [or at least make it less Moose involved] and instead focus on the Serial Stories spin off [which will include Moose and the various others]. Yes or no?

[blows squeaker]

I had to double check. Apparently, it's been ten years since I put on antlers and played a moose online. Yes you read that right.

Ten years since that fateful conversation between  dineegla and me about the creation of Joey Moose.

Ten years since I lead the charge at mIRC for the moose.

Ten damn years of furry hijinks.

Moose: Has it been that long?

Yeah, it has.

Moose: Wow.

I am awed and humbled by this. So many people I've met, so much fun doing it. If I could reach out to everyone of you and give you a hug, I would. Really.

HERE'S TO ANOTHER TEN YEARS!

I have said that I sell knitted hats for $20. Well, I got a deal for you.

The Joe Moose Hat Sale

Buy one hat regular price, get another one half off! HALF OFF!

You have to be insaaaaane to pass this deal up!

Keep in mind that all hats are handknit in 100% wool.

I accept paypal! Can ship to North American countries only: US, Canada, Mexico.

DM me for additional info. :D

[If you can't afford one, at least spread the word!]

You've been alright the times I've used it. You fell out of favor when I started using MSN (which fell out of favor to Skype [which then fell out of favor to Telegram]). But I had fun. The chatrooms were my first exposure to the gay scene (Basement Clubhouse). I chatted with a good bunch of fellow furs. It was pretty good.

But now, with your leaving, we shall never see your equal. Fare thee well, my old friend.

Been forgetting to update on things, so here ya go

Writing blog for all! Including tame and nsfw stuff. Including Bar Jocks stories that won't make it here. :3

Here



Also, where else to find me, seeing this place is sinking pretty fast for me.

I have almost two months of music on my computer, and always getting more. That means pockets of unheard of musics. Including this wonderful funk, from the Hancock discog.



Alright, maybe three months worth.

It is very rare I will head to the movie theater to watch a movie. Much less an animated one. But after hearing all the good stuff in Twitter, I headed out to watch Zootopia.

Oh.
My.
Gosh.

I cried at the train journey, I cried at the ending. I laughed a load of things, the priest for instance. Bogo got me hot and bothered. And Clawshauser, such a sweet baby. Just wanna snorgle him.

And using sloths is the epitome of bureaucracy, isn't it?

I like it so much that I'm actually thinking of watching it again! A seldom thing, even rarer than me sitting down and watching a movie!

All in all, good movie. Go watch it.

I've been in a ram/satyr mood lately. I blame  blueeyedwolf for that.

Of course, I've been liking the fact of actually having hooves and a set of curly horns.

Moose: And what about me?

You just be there and look pretty. And we need to have you wearing far less clothing. Perhaps I should have Bar Jocks give you one of their jocks for everyday use.

Moose: *gulps*

Seeing that it took me a year or so to finish a story(!!), I am just going to put it on the shelf until the next part comes up. Instead, I got an idea.

How about having the writers here on FA to use the place for their own stories? I know there's loads of ideas that can be used. I am not fond of having my ideas gather dust. I hate it, to be honest.

So, if anyone wants to write about the place:

1) Let me know so I can spread the word
2) No overly-sexual scenes
3) Anything else we'll play by ear

Alright, time again for me to send out Christmas Cards. I got new folks and old folks here, who is up for a Christmas card from your ol' Uncle Moose?

Just DM me with your mailing address, and I'll put you on the list. Those who got cards last year do not need to respond HOWEVER if you need to update the address, go on and do so. I have a few folks who messaged me on Facebook telling where they are now, so it's all good.

But yes, please, if you want a card filled with love and warm fuzzy vibes, shoot me a line.

My cousin moose,  dineegla is getting surgery done tomorrow for his hip and knee, both of which were grievously injured a month ago. Send feel-good wishes, prayers, healing energies, and other things of that nature to him, please. He needs them.

I just wish I was there to keep him company. And tea. Lots of tea. Maybe knitted kitty plushes. But more tea than anything.

*hugs his cousin tightly*

My time coming, anyday, don't worry about me, no

Well, it's my birthday. All hail your great moose orc king! *summons lightning and thunder*

Eh, it's not much of a birthday. I wanted adventure a few days ago, but now that it's my day I want it to never end. The molasses flow of time, the quiet calm of the day. This is what I've been missing. The calm and the slow. No hurry, no rush.

Twitter and Facebook are overflowing with birthday greetings and I cannot feel but a bit melancholy over this. So many people I've met along the way, major or minor. Amazing.

I don't think I'll ask for much this year. Maybe amazon gift cards. Or roses. Or a boyfriend/relationship. *sigh*

Received a few notes on the latest Bar Jocks and how it was a bit confusing. After looking at it today, I realized they were right. I rewrote a few lines to shift things about and hopefully it won't be so confusing now. Ah, the problem of not giving a story proper rest before you edit it.

Also, my birthday is THIS THURSDAY(!!) and I am feeling my usual blend of sorrow over the things I haven't done and anger over the things I have done. I'm going to be 36. A good quarter of my life gone. What have I done to make it stand out? GAH! *beats antlers against wall*

Yes, it's official. Joe Moose is on vacation for a month. He's going to see about a job at  dineegla's Furocity Gym and also visit his cousin. Who knows, he might enjoy it there.

But right now, for the month of Orctober, I shall be Zarfu Lightbringer, lightning mage. *poses* In the name of the Gods, I shall make you feel so much regret, it'll leave you numb! (Sorry, couldn't resist)

This has been in my head for far too long.

Alright, hear me out. No responses, no calls, nothing. Just listen.

I'm reaching the end of my tether. I can't stand my family right now, especially mom. I can't deal with her ineptitude anymore. It is reaching to the point that I am wanting just to grab a knife and stab her just so I can get her to leave me alone. Wanting to, but can't. I don't have the guts to something that drastic. Yet.

At the moment, I am in the act of mental self-poisoning, playing scenarios in my head filled with anger and bile. They stick and I am finding it difficult to get myself out of them. Added to the additional anger I get in general and they multiply.

I have plans on going to the local mental health clinic before I build up to a point that I will take that knife without the slightest bit of remorse. I am very worried at this point. I need time away from everyone before this happens. Or to find some way to get out period. I know I've said it before, but I can't deal with this anymore. She's driving me fucking insane. I feel burned out at this crap.

Heya party people. How's everything? It's been kinda nifty. Let's take it step by step.

First off, if you have been reading my tweets this past week or so, I decided to do a bit of modifying with the 'sona so that now Moose is a shapeshifter with orc and snow leopard forms. Sure I'll stick to being a (big, muscular, hunky, fluffy, cuddly) moose, but when the mood strikes, I'll get a floofy tail. Or green skin. Either way, I still win!

And don't worry, nothing will change in writing canon.

Secondly goes to all the knitters who are looking for new things to knit. I got a new pattern for sale - Telepathy scarf. Fully charted, and the pattern is easy to follow.

Thirdly, I have been needing a solid crying session (because it acts as a pressure release), but I never found the time to do it. Until today, when my music player played this song - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wK_C9VV8-lg - and just went into really bad hysterics. I was a mess of mucus and tears, and it felt right. Okay. I still feel that I should cry more but right now, I'm good.

Fourth and final thing: *HUUUUGS!*

Weightless cats! WEIGHTLESS CATS!!

I could talk about the overflow of ads going on here, but I have AdBlock Plus and Ghostery, so instead, I will show you this.

This is the tooth that has been bothering me since March, after I found that it was starting to crumble. As you can tell, it was already ready to come out. Thankfully, this is one of the four wisdom teeth I have - it's the top right. The dentist said that it was very easy to take out, that "it came out like a greased goose", something that got me to chuckle a bit.

So right now, I'm hyped on T3s and feeling the pain get into a dull ache.

Also, please look at these.

Two of my lovely roses, looking fine and fantastic. I want more blossoms, but a lot of the bushes are already in their summer dormancy (Siesta de Verano), so I'm taking this show with all the love I can muster. They are so pretty and gorgeous.

That's it for now. How's you guys?
