Reason for art pause
General | Posted 10 years agoSo to be absolutely clear. This isn't a cry for charity, this isn't cheep commissions, this isn't any sort of monetary appeal. This is pure and simple information for those who care to have it.
My 3Ds broke, my recent art has been from Pokemon Art Academy, which is a 3DS title. It's capable of producing art, but I fear making it worse. As such I haven't drawn anything recently. I'm currently saving up for a new one ... and by new one I mean 'new 3DS' which makes it kind of hard to note it's use status.
As an aside New 3DS is like WiiU, if they said super 3DS/Wii, or 3DS/Wii 2 or something that better labels it as a separate entity other than a single letter or the word 'new' then it would be less confusing for many, and easier to talk about for me.

Have I ever
General | Posted 10 years agoSoooooooo my previous journal is depressing and stuff. Lets replace that with this thing.
HAVE I EVER ...
1. had sex?
Yes, several times, but only with very close friends.
2. bought condoms?
Yes, I'm not sure they ever got used though, mostly cause I trusted my partners, and never had many of them.
3. gotten pregnant?
Not capable of that, not attracted to women. Fictionally getting someone pregnant was a plot point of my fursona's story, but only that.
4. failed a class?
Yes, calculus one. I forgot what directive meant, and by the time I figured it out we had moved on to integration.
5. kissed a boy?
Several, there are few I'd have sex with, but many I'd kiss.
6. kissed a girl?
Only family members and only on the cheek.
7. had a job?
Sadly only once. I was a parking lot attendant for my universities football games.
8. left the house without my wallet?
Never when I needed it, but often when I was certain I wouldn't.
9. bullied someone on the internet?
I try to be the nicest possible person. The world is filled with assholes, we don't need to add more.

No, I've had sex in front of people who weren't directly involved. But always inside a private domicile of some sort.
12. smoked weed?
Yes. Tried it a few times, generally unimpressed. I can achieve much the same effect though meditation without the harsh throat burning and the coughing.

No, I don't want to smoke tobacco mixed with toxins. In fact, I currently don't wish to smoke at all.
14. smoked a cigar?
No, also don't want to smoke at all.
15. drank alcohol?
I'm a sampler. If I've never tried it I'll do a shot. But in general I don't ever drink.
16. been to a wedding?
A few, my relatives get married very frequently. mostly because my G-parents had four kids so there are a lot of relatives.
17. been on the computer for 5 hours straight?
Very very frequently.

No, but that sounds fairly appealing.
21. showered with someone else?
Yes, every time with my mate.
22. been outside my home country?
I was born in Japan because my parent were in the navy. So in a technical since I live outside my home country. Though because both parents are American, and I was born on an American naval base, officially no.

Yes, mom used to make us vacation every single summer. Some of those car trips were very very long.
24. had lice?
Luckily, no.
25. gotten my heart broken?

26. had a credit card?
Only debit cards that act like credit cards at times.
27. been to a professional sports game?
Once, apparently the bears were having their stadium repaired or something so they had a home game at my local college stadium. Just to be clear, I'm not a fan of sports, it was my parents' idea.
28. broken a bone?
When I was too young to remember, going face first down a slide apparently.

I weigh 425 ... yes, very much yes.

34. stayed up for 24 hours or more?
Yes. First time was when I first got Final Fantasy VII. I had just climbed the endless wall to the upper plate and infiltrated the Shinra building.

I dislike fishing.
35. been to a concert?
a few. dixy chicks, apparently my dad's favorite, Green Day, that one was my choice, ... I think that was it actually.

I am gay ... so yes.

I don't recall, but I'd be willing to.

Covered this one early ... yes.

Death isn't fun times. My friend is gone.
General | Posted 10 years agoSo earlier this year I met two old guys. It started with them teasing me for getting so helplessly lost that I eventually gave up on getting directions from friends over the phone, and decided it was worth calling 911. I wasn't too happy that first day, but later I admitted that getting that hoplessly lost, and deciding that was the best solution, was dumb of me and quite humorous in retrospect.
I got to know these two and after a while one of them commented on my obesity and told me I should start walking. I had already tried walking multiple times, but because of a personal character flaw, I couldn't keep it up, making a permanent habit. I told them that another friend of mine had been walking with me, but suddenly had his own issues to work out and essentially dropped me like a bag of garbage.
The one who had asked offered to walk with me, so the three of us did, twice a day every day, at 8am and 8pm. After a while it was causing more harm than health so we dropped it to once a day, which has yielded amazingly positive results.
At the time I had sleep apnia. For those who don't know, this essentially means I stop breathing in the middle of the night, until I partially wake up, take a deep breath, and drift back to sleep. The result being that, even though I don't recall waking up even once, I don't get a full night's sleep leading to lack of focus while awake, and suddenly drifting to sleep, often at inappropriate or even dangerous times. The solution is my Bi-pap machine. I strap a mask to my face and this machine breaths for me.
One day it stopped working. I never did find out if it was the power cord, the machine itself, or something else, but it stopped turning on. "Well fuck" I thought to myself "now I'm going to go back to never being truly awake and sometimes coming close to falling asleep while driving for however long it take bureaucratic hospital shit to get me a new one." When I woke up the next morning I found myself well rested. I've been off the Bi-pap for a month now, thanks to my lungs getting stronger, thanks to my two friends who walk with me.
I got to know the both of them really well, to the point where I consider them family, despite what blood tests will tell you. We talked all the time for hours on end. The one who suggested that we start walking was so proud of me. I was beginning to outpace him, when before half a block was enough for me to be winded. He was going to inherit his father's guitar and had forgone playing guitar until then as some sort of honor/ show of respect. One of the last times I talked to him was before the double moon mars hoax that we both stupidly believed in and wanted to see together.
He died yesterday, I don't know exactly when, but he was found in his locked apartment laying down on the couch with no signs of pain nor exterior wounds. I found out from the other friend at about 9pm that night. I though at first they were pranking me. Some sort of stupid joke, but it wasn't a joke. I wanted to blame someone, to punch or kick or at least yell at them, but there was no one responsible but death itself. I don't believe in God, so I had no one to barter or bargain with. I laughed, I fucking laughed and I couldn't stop laughing. There was nothing funny, I felt and feel like a fucking asshole for laughing, but there was no helping it. I cried, and I cried while laughing. I don't know what part of my brain thought the experience was fucking hilarious, but I wish it would die forever in flames. Finally I collapsed into depression, saying things like. "The future is a lie, we all just run around in circles and then we die", and other similar things.
Around 12:30am the fact that he was gone finally sank in. I grabbed pokemon art academy and drew a picture for him. I suppose it's really for me, because where he is he'll never see it. I'll be posting it shortly after this journal goes up. I feel empty inside, but I know there's a future. Eventually I will move on and be fine, it just feels cheap to say such things already. I could mourn him for weeks and it would feel like I hadn't done enough. But I know I'll move on eventually, and I'm too fucking logical to ignore truth when it's evident and in my face.
I guess that's it. Say whatever you want in the comments. Support me, tease me, whatever. It doesn't really matter I guess. But those of you who decide to be nice, thank you.

FaceRig, your fursona through webcam.
General | Posted 12 years agoI'm not going to say "If you like this product, post a journal about it." as I'm fairly sure that counts as spamming. That being said, this is awesome you should know about it.
http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/facerig
If you use webcam services such as video call through skype, you probably want to consider supporting FaceRig. It allows you to create your fursona, or use one of many pre-packaged characters and converts, in real time, what your webcam records into a the character you've chosen. It matches and slightly exaggerates facial gestures pretty well, and only seems to have any trouble when trying to keep up with singing. Don't like your voice or imagine your fursona's voice as differently pitched? It also can alter audio input to your specifications. I plan to get and support this product. If you don't want it, I'm not going to push you to get it, but at the very least you should know of its existence.

Writting things
General | Posted 12 years agoI've always called myself a writer. I have stories in my head I want to share, except whenever I put them to paper they come out a wobbly blur of what was in my head. I had five or so stories with beginnings but no ends, not even decent middles. I had resolved to give up writing.
Now I feel differently, even if i can't write these stories well now, I should still write it. I can always revise and tweak them until they are good. Like any skill, I'm going to suck at it, maybe for years, but if I keep working at it eventually I'll get better.
So I have a new resolve. I'm starting a 120 part story consisting of very short chapters. I will write and perhaps even post these as I come out with them. I plan to earn the 'writer' label i have put on myself.
I'm not sure why I'm making this journal. Maybe part of me wants support, maybe I just want to have this promise to myself made public so it will feel real and I can't take it back. Regardless what happens, I will do my best to become the storyteller i wish to be.

Question to furry writers.
General | Posted 14 years agoI have no idea when I'll be done, but I'm writing a fantasy story that's furry in nature. The problem is I'm good at revealing plot points and getting characters where they need to be, but not so good at making it deep and detailed. After some time I'll have the story written out, but it will be in desperate need of polish.
This is where my question is. If I get my story proto-finnished, would I be able to find a furry writer to use my story template, flush out parts he/she think need to be expanded on, name un-named minor characters, add details to battle scenes, etc. for free or cheap, and in exchange be counted as "co author" in the book if/when it comes out?
I'd like comments to point towards people who might, or if you'd be willing, I'd be willing to send you what little I currently have already so you can see if it's the sort of story you'd be willing to work on.
Not looking for solid "I'll do it" commitment yet, mostly just the knowledge that there are or aren't writers who might do this.

Drama Journal Posts ... What's going on???
General | Posted 15 years agoPeople keep posting very vague journals of the variety "I got smacked by drama" and "Ignoring all the drama" and "I got betrayed by drama so now I hate everyone", and "hacker caused some drama". All the non-specific, you don't need to understand, and esp. the you know what I'm talking about don't pretend you don't stuff is actually making me fairly annoyed.
No I don't know what's going on if you don't tell me, I don't keep my ear to the wall trying to find every bit of drama, and if someone/something has hurt you (plural for all the people I consider friends and thus care very much about) in any way I want to know what happened so I can at least be able to sincerely say "Oh wow, I'm very sorry that happened to you. Is there any way I can help?"
Some of these journals seem to try to cast a blanket guilt and blame at anyone and everyone who reads the journal. If something bad happened and I did nothing to cause it, and I read a journal saying "I hate you all, you are all jerks without hearts, please go die in the most painful way now.", then all I can do is stare at it and think, "Why the heck are you lashing out at everyone, what did I and the random passers by, esp. those who would seek to help you, do to you to deserve being universally hated?"
If I'm just "spreading the drama" and doing "the exact opposite of what you (I) should do", then sorry for the drama. But I can't stand by while I think my friends are in some vague pain or trouble or even worse lashing out at me and everyone in general, and not say "what the hell is going on here? Please let me in so I can help." For those of you I care about, meaning most and probably all the people I've watched, and also some of those I haven't watched who haven't wronged me, if something bad happened to you and you consider me any kind of friend at all, please allow me to help instead of keeping me in dark mystery about whatever it is that has hurt you.
There are obviously those this does not apply to. If this seems to have nothing to do with you/your way of doing things then feel free to ignore all parts except the "allow me to try to help when you're in trouble" part.

The best of times, the worst of times; back from MFF
General | Posted 15 years agoBefore I list things both good and bad about my time I want to make one thing clear. MFF and all other furcons are amazing and wonderful worlds of paradise spawned from the essences of love, comedy, cuteness, and random. Yes I mean "essence of random".
I enjoyed last year at MFF so thoroughly that on the trip home I couldn't do anything but sigh and fantasize about what it would be like if furcons lasted a whole week. Wishing with all my heart that it wasn't over yet, knowing that it was and had to happen eventually. Between hugging randomly every fursuiter in arm's reach, The fun and interesting panels, hugging more suiters, artists alley, dealer's den, hugging more furry-furs, meeting Grubbs Grizzly aka
zoobear who made me a very happy pup while he was with me, the Furry Variaty Show, and more fursuiters snugged, I barely had time to eat ... which really hit home Sunday night. X-P Shy Matsi himself snugged me and kept me company at the very end of Sunday night as I was waiting for my awesome dad to drive up from Urbana, IL to pick me up. Shy broke away from the group he was with at the time both to cool off outside, but also to help make this first time con goer's first con end well. He was very sweet and attentive.
This year was very different, I will start with the bad things so that I'll end on positive things.
My mate
tuif aka Tiro O'Henry and his life has been fucked up, almost as if on purpose by his "new Mom" (his original mom died) and his dad. He has no ID, no driver's license, no birth certificate, no idea where he was born so he can ask for an official copy of his birth certificate, nor is either parent in contact with him. Until me none of the people within his life has been willing to help him obtain his ID, not even in-so-far as to tell him what he has to do to get it. Because he has no valid form of ID he couldn't pick up his con badge, because he couldn't pick up what he needs to do basically everything there is to do at MFF he had a fairly miserable con experience, and because he was sad, and I'm a good mate, I too was saddened greatly.
Another thing that's made life for me in general sucky, but more so now is my somewhat recent development of sleep-apnea. Because my snoring kept up two roommates, one being my mate, I decided to let them sleep as I stayed awake all night long both nights till they woke up then took my sleep. My mate was a sweety and ruined the whole plan by staying up with me. I love him greatly for being so kind as to share my pain, but hate him for stabbing in the face the very logic and whole point behind me leaving him and other roommate to sleep while I suffered self-induced-insomnia. Obviously going to sleep after others woke up means one of two things. either 1) I'll have to sleep through awesome events in order to get the sleep I need, or 2) I need to get minimal sleep and get back out there so I don't miss any fun. ... I chose 1.
Almost all fursuiters hug, nearly all play around with each-other, but very few this year seemed to want to talk with (excusing the mute furs because that's part of what defines their characters), snug with for any real amount of time, or play around with me. Maybe I met most of the most awesome fursuters last MFF, maybe I was coming off as creepy or stalker-ish, maybe this year an influx of "don't touch me for too long" fursuiters migrated in, and maybe I'm just being selfish and should get a reality check. All I know is there were like 5 amazingly snuggable, chattable, playful fursuiters that I found among a well-searched sea of an insanely large number of them. I must admit, my guilty dream is to be completely nude and snuggled by three or more full body suiters for about half an hour or so. IRL I'll settle with being fully clothed and sitting down chatting with and snuggling 1 any kind suiter and chatting with them for a few minuets.
Last year I walked boldly into artist ally, eeeped at the large number of unknown people, and promptly ran out, tail between legs. Luckily I already met and commissioned one, pre-opening. I tryed again later and found
Podamy who much later over FA fufilled my art wish with flying colors. This year I eeped twice as hard and only by the dumbest luck ever stumbled upon
DMK out of alley. If not for our chance meeting I would have gone home artless. Which raises the question, how the heck am I supposed to know my favorite artists by their hyooman faces? Just before I left MFF I went back and got a crap-load of artists to doodle their characters on my door-hanger-thing (which I will upload if not already up) I'm going to look up all their signatures in an attempt to give every last one of them credit.
This leads me to some good moments, also I wish I could remember names. It was very late. My mate and I ordered a pizza. While we waited for it a sea-wolf-dragony guy who's name I forgot chatted with us, he was very nice and my mate and him got along well. Later we chatted with a link-style-hatted button-hoarding dragon-person who's name I also forget. My mate and him kinda fought a bit ... mostly cause my mate doesn't know proper dragon etiquette. Our pizza came and two furs a ... Japanese-raccoon-dog guy ... still no name, and a female rainbow-animal-changeling-fairy also no name who wanted to order a pizza and needed the number we ordered it from. we chatted happily for a long time and they got their pizza when we were joined by Green ... no idea what kinda fur he is, he's just, simply "Green".
There is one fursuiter that made me very happy. He was my Shy Matsi of this con.
tzup I huggled him, chatted with him, we hung out in the same area together talking and hugging for quite some time. I got tired and sat on the floor, he still petted and rubbed at times standing at others not. He got a friend of his to snug my a bit, he just was a major reason I didn't hate this con. I'm highly glad I met him, and hope he comes next year.
I think this tells you just about everything that happened, my mate had a heavy case of "lets just go home" So I left before buying from the dealer's den nor even seeing the fursuit games, but he was having an epic sad and I just couldn't force him to wait outside for 1.5 hours as I had fun watching fursuiters do crazy things. So we left.
P.S. before I forget major props to "Insane Straitjacket Guy" for being funny and great, "creepy owl girl" for the most insanely awesome avian impersonation skillz ever, and to "Terrance and Phillip" not really furry, but epically great impersonation. If the two southpark characters themselves came across you two they prolly would think they were looking into a mirror.
Looking forward to an MFF with 1) CPAP 2) mate's ID and 3) breathable fursuit head.

I has a "Bon 4" to sell
General | Posted 15 years agoBeing the kinky pup I am, I recently ordered a "Bon 4 Silicone Male Chastity Device" only to find out my cock is way way too small for it. It's only been used by me and since every part thoroughly cleaned since then.
it comes with three sizes of lock rings all a clear silicon, one "cage" that interweaves in the rings also the same clear silicone, two clear plastic strips that go around the lock rings through the holes in the cage bars to secure the two together the strips have 1 base hole and 3 end holes to accommodate all three sizes of lock rings, one plastic pin that pokes through two holes in the plastic strips to hold the cage securely on, five plastic one time use locking ties to go through the hole at the top of the pin to keet the plastic strip on, and one small reusable padlock with two keys to it also for locking the hole in the pin.
I payed $160 (including S+H) to get it, but since it is now in fact used, though all parts and the original carrying case is as good as new, I'm only looking for about $100-$120 If you're a kinky fur with a cock that needs to be locked away or a master with a pet that has said cock or maybe just a Dom with a subby boyfriend who has said cock please note me.

General | Posted 15 years ago1. If your fursona had to be a primate, it'd be...

IDK ... a deer I suppose.

a bottle-nose dolphin, who wouldn't want to do fun tricks where people cheer you on for free food? X-P "So long and thanks for all the fish"
6. If your fursona had to be a rodent, it'd be ...
a squirrel, without doubt. Those guys are silly as heck as they hop around in semi-fluid ways that almost seem to defy gravity.
7. If your fursona had to be reptile, it'd be...
a Chameleon, asides from the creepy "look in opposite directions" eyes, the ability to change skin colors, and the long sticky cannon-tongue. X-P wow.
8. If your fursona had to be a marsupial, it'd be...
a Kangaroo. I've had very good and murrrful experiences with them. X-P
9. If your fursona had to be a fully aquatic animal, it'd be...
An octopus. Same color changing awesomeness as the Chameleon, pluse awesome suction tentacle thingies, plus <"OMG! ... oh, I just inked myself." *blushes*> action! X-P
10. If your fursona had to be an amphibian animal it'd be...
One of the very colorful rain-forest poison frogs, 100% cause of the neon-ish colors. My fursona himself would prolly have the ability to become un-poisonous, or change to more ... interesting types of toxins for important things ... like yiff.
11. If your fursona had to be an avian/bird, it'd be...
a Hawk, not so sure the type though.
12. If your fursona had to be a creepy crawly, it'd be...
a Spider, I'd get to carry around my own personal supply of bondage gear, and bed making kit.
13. If your fursona had to be a real or unreal hybrid, it'd be...
a Three way Wolf-dolphin-angel. We come in packs whether under the water or in the sky. X-P
14. If your fursona had to be a mythical creature, it'd be...
a Dragon, those guys are amazingly awesome. ... though I'd prolly breathe some other optional non-fire element ... or not X-P
15. If your fursona had to be a Pokemon/Digimon, it'd be...
a Gabumon, they digivolve into wolves and can remove their fur at times... least Mat's could X-P
16. If your fursona had to be a vehicle, it'd be...
Maybe a type of van, the kinda vehicle you can take large number of people in.
I first saw this http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/1315249/ ... not origonally my idea.
a bonobo monkey, ... the yiffiest and most homosexual-ish primates I know of.
2. If your fursona had to be a feline, it'd be...
a White/Siberian tiger. Snow-ity, stripe-ity goodness.
3. If your fursona had to be a canine, it'd be...
a Wolf, mostly wolf. Warm function family packs rock.
4. If your fursona had to be a hoofed animal, it'd be...
IDK ... a deer I suppose.

Yiff: invented stolen surrendered
General | Posted 16 years agoIn a recent conversation with a fellow fur I was describing my weekend with some close friends. This description involved the use of the word yiff. The fur in question informed me that the "'y' word" was a taboo among furries and shouldn't be used. This got me to thinking several things.
STAGE 1: My Rant
Yiff is a furry word, in short it means sex. I can see how this might have come about. Sex has been over-defined (in USA at least) as a great taboo that we should never break. It destroys kiddies minds and rots peoples mouths and apparently causes God to kill kittens. No one should talk about sex, no one should play around with sex, watch out! So at some point there was probably one or more furs who were enjoying this perfectly normal activity and they wanted to tell their fur friends about it. But the very mention of sexual activities is a no no. ... so they used yiff. It only makes sense that a group of people trying to take on animal characteristics and attempting to make natural things feel more natural would invent their own word for sex as a way of short-circuiting and escaping the pounded into our brains stigma that sex brings to the table.
Honestly I see no issues whatsoever with the word yiff. It's a very cool word, one of few that can be used as a noun and verb and adjective and adverb. a very useful/ semi discrete way of talking about a whole category of actions while at the same time being cute about it and not needing to use details.
Then one day some internet furhater jerk came up with "Yiff in hell furfags" the battle cry of the antifurs. The statement saying several misrepresentations and insults at once. #1 furfags. I was actually asked by someone why "you people" take offense in furfag. If you need me to explain this than your in the wrong place entirely, however, I will say that this statement assumes all furs are gay. Coupled with the yiff and it says all furs are gay and only care about sex, and because of this we are all supposedly doomed to hell. In many many ways a load of B*******.
Those who decided to taboo yiff essentially are saying "Oh Nos! they stole our word and made it bad. How should we respond? I knows if we ban the use of yiff all the hate and hatters and "yiff in hell furfag's will all just go aways and we can relax and be free." Wake up! Jerks used our word in order TO get to us and corrupt our way of de-sensitizing the natural act of sex. By banning yiff you (those who feel it taboo) have come full circle in the hiding of sexual activities that should not be near as taboo feeling as us in the USA at least have made it.
Haters will always be there, they will always come up with new and creative ways to hurt us and make marks on our pride. But when they get us to turn on our own inventions they win. What if the next rallying cry is "satin loves fursuits" or some such nonsense? Are you (same people) gonna say "Oh nos, looks like we need to ban that word/item too."? Maybe I'm missing the point. Maybe yiff is offensive to these people for other reasons. But from where I stand, I think it's just those furs retreating from the furhaters and leaving behind bits of what make us unique for them to gnaw on as the furs look for the non-existent escape from them.
Stage 2: the feedback
If you know better than me or have your own opinion please, by all means tell me. I have an open mind and would love all input that is trying to build knowledge of this subject. However if you plan on yelling at me and blatantly telling me I'm wrong leaving no good explanation why I'm wrong, then you might as well not post. knowledge isn't built on I'm right your wrong. please don't bring such arguments.
