So its been a long time as always for me making journals as always. So whats been going on in the world of the jackal?

Mostly same shit different day with working, living life, sleep, and repeat, but after being without a laptop for about half a year I finally got a new desktop PC so I can return to playing games and use it for other future projects in mind.

One of those projects of mine is going to be doing Twitch broadcasting. For the longest time I've always wanted to do broadcasting online of me playing games or whatever. Since I got this new computer I am able to do so now. There's some fixing I gotta do with it, mostly fixing how to reduce lag spikes while broadcasting, but other then that once that gets situated I should be broadcasting more often and letting you all know on here & Twitter (Its XepherSicarius if you haven't followed me yet)

Another project is to have a good computer for video/photography editing as I want to get back into making YouTube videos (fun fact: I was really into making YT videos back in high school and college. It was my major at one point). I recently ordered a nice photography camera for myself that can make videos in good quality as well. Again once that gets situated I will let you all know about it :D I even thought of opening photography commissions at furry cons I will attend.

Speaking of furry cons, the next convention I will be at will be Furry Weekend Atlanta in early April! It's been 2 years since I've been to Atlanta and cannot wait to come back again. Who will I see there this year?

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and happy holidays today! Enjoy it with the people you love and cherish in your life

I think it's MFF time soon

I'll be back again for my 6th year in a row and I cannot wait!

Who else will I see again or hopefully meet for the first time there

So its been 2 weeks since I've been to BLFC & I will say that it was one of the best cons I've been too. I've had so much fun in Reno, plus I got to meet so many new people and some who I wanted to meet for years there. I will defiantly be back there again next year for sure, plus knowing their theme is musicals next year I wanna go badly lol

My next con will be either AC (if I get the weekend off or someone to switch with me) IFC (if I get it off) Aquitfur or MFF so the jackal will be around there for sure ^^

So if you guys don't follow me on my Twitter you will noticed I've been RT'ing and sharing art on it, but never on here...which I should fix sometime. I will say you'll probably see a lot of the same things as of lately I've been on a mood set of Xepher as Nevermore Reaper from Overwatch. I'll probably do an art dump on here when I get the chance, I'm just lazy as fuck about it lol, same goes with TF art I've gotten lately as well

Sitting at the airport waitinf for my flight to BLFC

Can't wait to be a jackal and go snug cute animals!

So in late April I started my new career as a ADNA (advanced nurse aide) at the hospital I worked at. I did my training for the last 2 weeks & will be starting on my own once I finish Monday shift. It's pretty tough but getting the hang of it. The beauty of it is I only work 3 days a week for 12 hours, but still getting my full time benefits which means I have free time....and at the same time I don't know what to do with that free time XD

I will be also attending Biggest Little Fur Con for the first time in late May. I'm way too excited for it since this will be the first con I'm fully attending since MFF (Technically I did go to MCFC but for like 2 days lol) Who will I be seeing there and who wants to hang out and be dogs :D

Oh & Eurovision is this week. Get hyped. Go Italy and Bulgaria

Today marks the 25th year that I came on this planet, and its been a crazy journey this has been :D

So hey, Xepher still doesnt make journals on FA, in other news, water is still wet.

So what has really been going on lately? Well the last two months have been busy for me as things been changing. First off I've finally have moved into an apartment about a month ago and living by myself along with my pet cat Arizona. It's been pretty nice here, now if only it hits spring and summer weather instead of winter (It's snowing right now as I type this journal). As some of you know from my last journal that I've recently got my licenses to be a nurse aide and been looking for a position based on that. Happy to say that I have landed as an advance nurse aide in the current hospital I work at. I start the position around the end of April since my department can hold me for 45 days (Which we're already short staff there so of course they're gonna keep me and use every little bit of me till I go LOL)

I will be officially at Biggest Little Fur Con this year in late May which I am incredibly excited for since I haven't been in the west coast area since 2011 when I was in California. I may go to MCFC for a day or two, depending if I'm working those days or not

In terms of art and such on here, again, I'm a lazy jackal and havent uploaded the recent stuff I've got in the last few months XD

Oh hey, look at me again, never updating my journals as usual lol

So its been 1 week since we hit 2017 and I'm hoping everyone is enjoying the new year and starting off great. I haven't really updated on my life situation since after MFF, but here's a quick run down

MFF was amazing and I loved every moment of it and made some great memories there

Working my ass off as usual at the hospital

Starting a costume for Quantron Xepher soon

I'm still playing Overwatch when I get free time

Been apartment hunting & planning on going back to school

Same stuff different day lol

Most importantly, I finally took my state test to become a nurse aide and I am officially now one so this opens a lot of new doors for me ^^ I've thought about moving somewhere else to a different part of Ohio or somewhere far, but not too far from home, but it all depends on whenever I decide to go back to school and job wise, but for now baby steps :P

So hey another journal by me! So where did I leave off this time...oh yeah

So I'm finally done with taking my nursing aide classes, all I got now are my clinicals and then doing state testing after that :) I'm really excited and nervous about taking the state test though, but I'm confident I'll be fine on it. I've also had more plans about going back to school for more classes and either go for a nursing degree or do EMT/Paramedic studies, but for now, baby steps x3 Other then that I'm just working and living life as usual here.

Can't believe October is already here and I'm way too excited for Halloween <3 I got a few Halloween themed commissions in the works, mostly relating to Pumpkin King Xepher ;)

And speaking of commissions I'm still being a lazy jackal and haven't uploaded most of the art I've received in the last few months due to being busy all the time (aaaannnndddd playing Overwatch in my spare time)

But yeahhhh, who's gonna be at MFF? I'll be there on Wednesday :D

So havent made a journal since before AC and figured to make one before I go to sleep, but life's been pretty settle lately, mostly a routine of wake up, work, eat, sleep, repeat and so forth. As some know I worked two jobs, one was at a hospital which I work full time at, and the other is a cookie store job when I moved. I worked the two places because 1. Money 2. Kept me occupied whenever I wasnt doing anything and 3. It wasnt that far from each other and I was able to work my schedule around the two places. Now this was nice and fun, but it ate a lot of my free time, and I mean, it took up so much personal time to the point were I was working at either place or both places and having a day off at both places was a rare thing. Many of my friends urged me to quit the place, but me being the dumbass that I was continued to work both places (Plus after telling myself I would quit the cookie store after I got full time, but again, dumb me still stayed because summer is slow there and figured to stay for a little bit). Now I realized that its nice to be working, but its also nice to have personal free time and need to balance between the two. So now after settling down and such, I finally decided to resign from my cookie store job for good and now gonna be focusing on my hospital job. Even better is that I will be taking STNA classes in September to become a nurse aide :) Hopefully that will go well and I will get my license on that and go from there. Maybe after awhile I'll go back to school and become a nurse or so (maybe in pediatrics) or move out of state to somewhere else, but we shall see, taking baby steps for now haha

I also have received a lot of art and fursuit photos in the last few months, but not gonna lie...I have been extremely lazy on uploading them here XD (Again, working a lot and playing Overwatch haha)

Other then that, I'm still alive, kicking it, working, on Telegram mostly and my next con will be either IFC or MFF, so hope I will see you guys there :)

P.S. AC was a lot of fun, totally forgot to mention that :P

So Anthrocon is in a few weeks and I should probably make a journal telling people I'm going to it this year again. This will be my 5th year in a row and can't wait to come back to Pittsburgh ^^ Who else will I see there this year?

Also I've been playing Overwatch recently and its a fun game :) My favorite characters to play as are McCree, Reaper, Mercy, Hanzo, and Winston (I call him Professor Bananas) c:

Weasyl: https://www.weasyl.com/~xephersicarius

P.S. I'm still staying on FurAffinity

Yes its that time of the year where this American watches something that is meant for the European people and have most of you guys judge me for watching this show and me never shutting the hell up about it when the time comes next week, but hey they're actually gonna play it live in the US for the first time on Logo TV here so thats something (but my butt will probably be watchnig it on Youtube or on the actual site)

Anyways this year there isnt really a runaway winner to me so it can be anyones game this year

Here are a few of my favorite entries this year

Just to name a few :P

Who watches it as well? I know a few of you guys do or at least know about it :P

Cause all I do is work work work work work

Seriously, the last 2 months have been crazy busy for me lately, mostly cause I'm working two jobs and trying to keep in contact with all my friends on here and outside of FA, plus my laptop decided to BSOD while I was away, so I got that fixed up. I was also at Motor City Fur Con 2016 for a few days which was a nice little getaway for me after working so much, plus I miss fursuiting and dont get to do it often as much. Hopefully things should be settling down soon with the work since one of my jobs will be slow due to being in the summer and all (keyword is hopefully) Also uploading a huge backlog of art I needed to put on here and share with you all (more tomorrow for TFTuesday), and also wanting more collab commissions with some of you guys <3 So if you have an idea you want to get with me, hit me up and we can talk :)

But other then that, I'm just the same old jackal doing pirate and assassin things, and also TFing time to time

It's that time of year again, and I'm another year older!

2016 is going way too fast thinking about it XD

But yeah, happy birthday to me ^^

Sorry not sorry for the art dump I did, just been lacking on uploading art on here since I've been so busy with life and such lately. So enjoy the mini art I got lately! There's more I'm waiting on or I forgot to upload on here so keep in touch with that

But yeah....gonna keep it short and sweet, life has been crazy for me for the last few months, mostly balancing between two jobs, trying to sleep (haha whats that?) and personal stuff going on, but I'm hanging in there and still alive. Usually I'm on telegram & twitter mostly since I'm not on my computer half the time, and if I'm not working, I'm probably doing something else or sleeping in XD

P.S. Joined the late train and played Undertale. Holy shit such a good game <3

Oh hey first journal of 2016 let's start it off with something cool I guess

Uhhh....


shit lol

Well 2015 was a pretty decent year for me, still living with awesome friends and working constantly. I'm starting a new job next week at a hospital as well so I'm excited for that to happen since its been something I wanted for a long time. I don't know exactly what cons I'll be going yet because of this new job, but so far I want to do FWA again because birthday con, if not FWA, my goal is to try BLFC for the first time and maybe do MCFC for a day or two because its close by, then my typical ones I go to (MFF & AC, and maybe IFC again)

Expect as well more commissions and TF stuff from me on here and maybe new fursuit stuff as well. Thinking of doing some more costumes for Xepher and maybe a new character will join the party ;)

Anyways, hope this year goes well ^^

Ahoy mateys! It's Captain Xepher here, just wishing you all a happy holiday :) Might be the last journal of 2015 so if I dont make a journal after this one, let's end the year awesome and make 2016 epic!

I will say this, I never get tired of attending Midwest FurFest as its my favorite con. This year was a lot of fun and got to enjoy it with a lot of people that I care and love. Met a lot of new people, some of who I always wanted to meet and chill with too :) I didn't do a lot of dance stuff as I did, but did get to perform with  leonthefox as Stealth Rouges in this years Floor Wars. Hoping to come back together again as a duo for FW next year or maybe for dance comp ;)

To keep it short and simple, loved everything about it, met new people and reconnected with current ones again, and will return next year for sure! My next con will be in Atlanta for FWA (It's birthday con, let's plan something for it ;))

If you also took a picture of me while in suit or during Floor Wars, please hit me up ^^ You know how much I love seeing fursuit pics during cons x3
