Ok for those that don't know, I live in Hawaii. I have lived here pretty much my whole life and am still going to school. One dissadvantage I would say for being in this state, at least as a member of the fandom, is the lack of furs. Honestly back when I was going to university I counted maybe 6 that made their presence public in the whole state. I used to joke that maybe others didn't want to get their fur wet or something, but eventually I had to come to the realization that I probably wouldn't be meeting any furs close and the internet was my only choice. Lately however it seems that furs have been kinda sprouting up in the islands which is awesome. There is just one teensey little problem. They are all popping up on the Island I moved from when I graduated ><. Hopefully the trend continues and a few drop on this island. Untill then I will possibly just have to start correspondince with them. I really do need to meet some more fruriends since I lost touch with most of them due to bad circumstances. Feel lucky those of you who have furmeets and cons within driving distance XP. Peace.

Well I might be taking another long abscence from Furaffinity. After next week I have 4 tests in two weeks. It is gonna be a grueling war of attrition and to my sadness I probably won't have much time to do anything least of all draw. On the bright side this upcoming week will be kind of free, so I may be able to draw and get some stuff posted up. I honestly can't wait for this semester to be over. ><

Well I was bored and screwing around on youtube, and guess what I dug up..... Does MTVsex2k ring any bells for anyone. Well I found the on on furries and it reminded me why I hate MTV. It is not the corporate exploitation of every possible twisted value of american society or maybe it is. I just cringed a little bit as I remenised. I feel like ranting about it on and on, but the need to forget this horrid piece of TV crap has me crawling myself into a bottle. Its bullshit!

Well I finished the test that I had been studying for for a week solid. All I can say is it should have come with a bottle of lube and something to bite on because It felt like I got reamed. I am currently waiting on the results but it had me wondering if I was studying for the same subject.

Other than more fun school activities I havn't been up to much. I have been trying to sneak off to draw, but it has been a little tricky. I should be putting a few things up soon. I have some sketches in the work and just got to inking one of them today. From my inking I know I would make a crappy surgeon.XP Hopefully my linework will get better with time. I am sure the few beers I had before helped.

Anyway stay tuned for more bitching and whining! Yay!

Well school has finally almost done it to me. It has grabbed me by the brainstem and is about to perform a fatality circa 1992. I had a test in Evidence Based Medicine. It is basically statistics up the ying yang, and evaluating published clinical trals. Well after it I just feel like sleeping for a week. I am not trying to bitch or anything but this semester is starting to take a toll. We have had a test every week thus far and It is only gonna get worse.

Thank god I have rediscovered drawing, because I would prolly be pulling my eyelashes out or something. XP Anyway, hopefully I can get some more art up eventually. I have been sketching, but not much I feel like posting. Stay tuned all you people out there *snorts*

Ok so yeah my computer dealt me a pretty heavy blow at the end of last week. Apparently a file needed to start windows got corrupted or deleted somehow so windows could not start properly.

Long story short I ended up having to reformat my hard drive nuking every file I had saved. All my art that was digital or digitally colored is now gone. The only good thing that came out of it is that Dell threw a brand new hard dtrive at me even though this one seems to be working fine. O.o

So yeah fresh start. I will try and make the best out of it and hopefully use it as a motivation to make better art. Stay tuned for more drama to come. XP

Hello there one person that reads this. How are you today? Good, I am also doing fine. Yesterday was the usual as far as the life of a career student goes. I did skip out on one class and managed to get some stuff taken care of that I needed done. During this brief escape I also got bored and decided to go to the library, where I found some cool art journals (yes they do exist.) Anyway a lot of the work in them was really inspiring. It gave me some ideas about where I wanna take my art. Hopefully I can make something that I can be truely proud of. I will see if I can manage some sketches today or some mixed media fun.

As for the second half of the title, the McRib sandwhich has struck again. I kinda had a little to drink last night and got hungry for one after seeing the comercials with their subliminal advertisings making endorphine overkill enevitable. So yeah I gave in and it was good, but now I am thinking I should probably go to the gym to make up for it. I will try and squeeze in time today. Anyway thank you one person for letting me numb your mind again. ^^

OMG! I just saw it tonight and it was one of the funniest movies I have ever had the experience of watching. I wanted to give the theater more money or something for the enjoyment I felt. Even before the actual movie started I was pretty much shooting soda out my nose. If you haven't seen it yet, go see it as fast as your little wagon can carry you. Even better it was filmed where I am from. Sweet! Anyway yeah I am still feeling the rush of endorphins and cola overdose. ^^

So yeah it has been a while since I have posted anything here. It is probably because FA was missing in action for so long. Also I have been a little under the weather as of late. I am also busy with an immunization training program that is coming up before school starts again. So yea just about everything besides drawing.

I am also trying to figure out how I can start saving up for AC again. It is gonna start to get trick with the way things are going. I need to work as much as I can but school might nip that in the butt too.

Anyway bitch bitch bitch, I know. I will start to post stuff up again here soon. Not like anyone cares but you know, It is fun talking to myself. Very thereputic XP.

Just got back from antrhocon and man was it a trip. It was so so so much better than the last time I went. The official number of people there was over 3300 with about 450 suiters. It was like crazy furry. I was able to hang out with my old friends and get a chance to talk with some awesome people. I even got to say hi to Floyd Norman a couple times. Pittsburgh is also an awesome city. It is unlike anything I was expecting and really blew me away. Overall it was perhaps the greatest trip of my life and come hell or high water I am gonna try and make it back again next year. Hope to meet even more people this time.

You ever feeling like you are chasing something that seems out of your grasp? Its what I have been feeling. I have been getting pretty frustrated with a lot of things lately. I suppose it is the fact that each day seems like the last. I got really inspired by a person who started doing what I am trying to do. He vowed to draw 1 or two things a day and posted his progression. http://www.conceptart.org/forums/sh.....read.php?t=870 . Really it is awesome to me that someone had the balls to do this. I am always hesitant to post stuff, even when I feel compelled to share. I always try and scrutinize every little thing and still miss a lot. This gives me some hope about gettng better.

In other news I am a lot happier with my general appearence. Now that summer is here I have been hitting the gym on a regular basis and running on my off days (I hate running). With any luck I might actually be in shape at this years AC.

...And so is alcohol. Thought I havn't touched the former the latter does just fine. Last night was a pretty interesting indication that my balls get bigger when I have had a few, at the cost of intelligence. I kind of spilled the beans about my furryness to a friend. Its one of those little secrets I always feel I have to hide, but when I let people in on it, it is like opening a can of worms. It is not that anyone has ever freaked out or even been wierd about it. Its more the chore of trying to explain the whole thing to them and where I fit into it all. Hopefully this is my quota of outing myself as a furry for quite a while. XP

So I am currently looking for a summer job. I am hoping to get one with my school collecting mushrooms of all things. It is a long story and I am not in the long story mode at the moment so just ask if you want to know. Anywho I am kind of in limbo since the person in charge is waiting on grant money. If I cant get this one I may have to look for another, unfortunately the jobs are kind of limited in this neck of the woods.

Besides the job search I am very happy I am gonna be going to Anthrocon this year. It is kind of a big deal because it is quite a distance away. I am gonna meet up with some friends and share a room. It is gonna be a blast. The last time I went was when it was back in Phillie. That was back in 04 I think O.o. Anyway it will be cool to score some new art and meet some new friends. I have a custom collar coming too so I gonna be sporting that like crazy.

Of course I finally started putting Art up on here. Not many people have looked at it, and yet to get a comment, but oh well *chuckles* It is just a nice excuse to draw again. Now that I finally have some free time it is nice, and the practice is much needed. ><

I am new to furaffinity, not because I didn't want to be a part of it, but because the site itself was kind of keeping me from signing in under a certian Handle. It is wierd but I am happy to finally be a part of this community. Hopefully I can start uploading some art soon. Hope to post more meaningful deep thoughts here. Peace.
