Rest in piece, Minimike.
Posted 5 years agoIt is with a heavy heart, damaged as it is, I bring this news and break my silence. I am not permitted to go into further detail, but an upstanding member of our community, MiniMike, has passed away this morning.
May he rest easy among the stars he always loved.
Life strikes hard when it wants to, however it wants to. It can be sudden, slow, or even weirdly in-between. To those of you that know of him...let's all have a toast, eh? He was genuinely a nice fella, and an example to many. Spread the word.
Miss you, catdragon, was nice getting to talk to yah once in awhile.

Hey.
Posted 6 years agoHello everyone,
Recently I happened to log into Skype after a very long absence, and I was overwhelmed by the response I got. While I did like talking to people, the matter between me and Foxxian came up and I was put into a situation that made me feel uncomfortable. I have spoken to Foxxian recently, but that is all I have to say on things. Out of respect for her privacy and mine I'd kindly ask everyone to not inquire further. I harbor no hard feelings. I will not respond to any notes or private messages on this subject.
Thank you for your understanding.

Rest in Peace, trickthefox
Posted 6 years agoI didn't get to know him long, but...recently, on February 4th, 2019, TricktheFox, writer of A Light in the Black, passed away due to a heart attack. Despite hs troubles he tried hard to be fun for anyone he met-it was a small thing that I was able to return that favor only days before his passing.
In the months knew him, we'd become something of friends. I asked nothing in return, and all he sought was to make me smile. Glad I got to the same.
To those of you that knew him...treasure the memories you have, he's with his Scamper now.
His works he had in the making will remain unfinished, and while I can say very little as a mark of respect...you folks were missing out on what he had in store.
Rest well, where-ever you happen to be, Trick.
You'll be missed by more folks than you know, you crazy foxer. At least for you, I'll try an' keep fightin' my condition.

Well...
Posted 7 years agoLong time no see, huh?
I'm still not done with my journey to make at least something right. Thing is, a pause seems to be in order.
No, I'm not after sympathy. I just get this vibe a few folks would like to know how i'm doing...and I'll be honest. Not well. Stress has taken its toll, and it came to a head in the past few weeks with pulmonary clotting, or embolism, however one says it. I managed to cling to life for over a week, unaware of what was wrong until it was almost too late, and even them I almost didn't get help.
You know? Dying, being so weak you can barely move even with help, changes your perspective on things. I thought I was dying from insulin shock at first. Limp muscle and gasping for air...I tell you. It's an experience no one wants. Thing is, even after the treatment, which they said is good, it seems God-if there is indeed one-isn't through telling me off yet for backing away from everything I loved, and leaving you folks in the dust to stop myself from digging the hole deeper, from driving myself crazy.
I've been through a lot, and I'm not done yet. Seems the only bloodthinner I'm qualified for is having some pretty bad side effects, so we'll see.
If I get through it all, maybe I'll come back and try writing again. Heck, even one more story for the road, maybe.
For now...I need to call the doctor. Take care, folks. Have fun, keep trucking along, yeah? If you want to wish me luck...hey. I won't say no. Lord knows I need it right now...but...I won't beg for it. All up to you, yeah? Take care, and good luck. Maybe...maybe I'm at the end of the road, and its time to settle in again once...if I'm well enough.
Ciao, people.

I've been thinking...
Posted 11 years ago...That it's time to end this. No, I'm not deleting my account. But yeah...I've been thinking a lot. Between the folk that tell me off, the pain I've caused others without even meaning to....
...The fact I've been formally requested to leave anyway, or at least stop posting material here altogether....
I'm just going to back out now, before it gets worse. I'll leave my things up. I owe you guys and gals that much...that and a kind good-bye. I'm not going to go into details. I'll probably lurk. But otherwise? Yeah.
I'm sorry to my faithful watchers, especially the newest. I don't want to dash your hopes of seeing a story, or maybe me dredging up old art that friends gave me permission to put up for viewing. But I'm gonna have to, at least for a long, healthy while.
Take care, people.
As I said, I'll leave my works up. I'll touch up my account here and there, keep it alive for future readers that may stumble across it, and for the sake of the work I've done for others...but...I wish you all the best. And if I do come back to write again...well, at least it's all here.
*Slips a pack over my shoulder, turning away for now* Some of you have supported me, and I know I've supported some of you. But there are times when one has to just go away. Work on the mistakes they've made happen, and move on for a time.
Stay strong, yah know? I wish I'd been able to keep in touch, be stronger for myself and those I care for...but maybe I can fix that with time. *Eyes the road ahead, sighing* What a long road it has been, and longer it shall be.

Posted 11 years agoNot much to say, but we'll see what comes.

On something of a hiatus....
Posted 11 years agoThere are some things I've been meaning to do for awhile...and before I get back into packing...may as well do the kindness of saying that.
Heading out into the deep woods of West Virginia...one of my favorite places when I was younger. Something there that...well, I need to do, and have been meaning to do. Given circumstances, I do have a little money for the trip...and I may as well use it. Getting myself a tent, a few items I'll need...and just settle into nature for awhile. Or, heck, I'll try and take the trip.
You see...when I was a squirt, and I mean a real squirt, hardly in my teens...I'd wander around there a lot. We had a nice, large property, or my grandparents did. There's things I need to do there, even though the house has been torn down and replaced with a hunting lodge, and so on. Things I have to see if they are still there, and if so...do what I'd always wanted to do. One was this old graveyard-from what I'd been able to determine, from the era of the Civil War. Dates, but no names...the headstones cracked and worn. Hidden away, the fencing gone...if it's still there, I intend to spend a few days and pay my respects. Show those poor souls that they aren't forgotten-maybe even bring a push-mower, I don't know, grab a few of the local wildflowers and mark the graves proper.
There are other things too...memories I want to recall, other small things I wanted to do, but never got to...it'll be good for me. I've always been happier in the woods, I admit...and it's been a long time coming.
Take care, people. I'll be fine, I know my way around still. Heheh.
But, before I go, look up these tunes (I do believe they're on Youtube, though I hardly use the thing myself):
Flying Prohibited, from the Romantically Apocalyptic Soundtrack; be warned, has a slightly dark nature despite the lovely harmonies!
Snippy And the Geiger Counter, from the same set. Nice and upbeat, but not for everyone. Who wouldn't be happy to find a Geiger counter in a radioactive wasteland?
Running One, by Tom Tykwer (If you can't find it with that artist name, look for a sountrack called 'Run Lola Run'.
Silence, from the album Mortal Loom, done by the UK group Alchemy Through Dreams...if I'm reading it properly.
Last but not least, one of the most haunting boss themes you'd ever hear, courtesy of the Silent Hill series, Scarlet. Perfect for those evil moments, I suppose.

Ahah, well!
Posted 11 years agoHeheh, I'll just be here, that's all. Just going to say I'll definitely post, but only once in awhile...and yeah. I cleared out my older journals for the most part, for good reason: most were silly and relatively pointless...and hey. Room for the occasional one.
I'm all right, just working towards things I want to do, slowly but surely.
I may do writing requests here and there...I'll put up a thing to say so. I'll give most things a try at least once, by the by, but if it's something I just can't do, I'll let you know kindly.
Ciao, for now.
By the way...look up these tunes. Sadly I don't have the artist names for some...but I like'em, and folks I know and like verily much do:
Nightfall by Amethystium
Firebird's Child (Unknown currently)
Hymn to Herne (Unknown)
Tribal Boat by Keiko Matsui...and this one's got some relatively good piano moments.
The Well (Unknown to me)
Enjoy?

Posted 14 years agoFor a fellow artist I had recently enjoyed the music of...
http://www.furaffinity.net/journals.....r/#jid:2004105
His melodies were wonderful, but he was a great fellow himself! *Sigh* Read the journal, if you wish. I myself will have a moment of silence on his behalf, and treasure what he has left behind for as long as I may.
