but lack of money made for lack of planning and lack of planning's got me here =P if I wanna go I'll need a ride and a room to crash in for cheap... anyway I doubt I'll get either of these so I don't think I'll be making it.

http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/1366703/

there's the link so comment if ya wanna, later days

OK still not feeling great.... but a li'l less pissed off at the moment, 2 days until I get my laptop. Anyway just to remove the last bit of emo bitching I'm posting 100 truths (shanghaied from  brokenwing)

Quiz: 100 truths

007: Middle School → picked on and did the picking on, very violent child =P and school work starts to crumble (I blame a particular math teacher)
008. High School → I calmed down on the violence (fight = arrested and you put your priorities in place) school work tumbles even more though
009. Smart → I was once. Teachers tell me I'm not living up to my potential... I think it's just whether or not I turn on my brain. (example I tried eating a small rock because I thought it was candy.... recently =P )

021. Obsessions → Porn... yeah that pretty much covers it
022. Chocolate or Vanilla → vanilla.... not to say don't enjoy chocolate... I just like vanilla more.

FIRSTS:
023. First Mate → none, lucky me =P
024. First best friend → I think he'd prefer I left his name off the internet, but we're still best brothers today.
025. First award → either honor roll or soccer trophy (for 'participating *rolls eyes*)
026. First crush - hard to say who came fist, there ahave been bunches, well first off lets start with the cartoon crush, Ed from Cowboy Bebop (shut up I was 12 DX) next RL were a pair of twins in middle school, I figured they were too good for me and never said anything

044. being alone- again we all have those times
045. roaming- ever get in the car and just drive with no place to go, crank up the radio and cruise.... sorry mother nature I couldn't afford the green car
046. my first car- freedom is a major thing to a 19 year old living in the middle of ass-rape nowhere
047. Arizona Green Tea Lemonade....yeah
048. Family, my mother especially... I figure the rest of them will grow on me eventually

CURRENTLY:
049. Eating → We've covered this already, mostly salads and fruits cuz the gut must go... or I could get nice pecks, whichever comes first

063.
064.
065.

WHICH IS BETTER WITH THE OPPOSITE SEX?
068. Lips or eyes → eyes, I've seen my fair share of jacked up lips before

083. Been Attacked → 15 and my last time trick or treating on Halloween (this was determined before the attack) but my friend and I were jumped for our candy bby 6 assholes. (he later whipped one of their asses in school... wish I were in the same school at the time)

091. Love at first sight → lust at first sight, definitely, love on the other hand, I don't think can be approximate by sight alone, on an extremely rare occasion love at first meeting, might be possible.... but that's highly unlikely I think

098. Are you seriously happy with where you are in life → Fuck no
099. Do you believe in God → yeah I do, I have a suspicion he might not like me right now, but that's not very well founded, I could be worse off ^_^
100. Post as 100 truths and tag people? -in the words of some wise mothafucker.... "No. no....a thousand times no."

ok the love aspect I'm leaving out under 'personal business'just needed to vent some

but as for the 'life' portion of it here goes, semesters ending and I'm fairly certain I failed 3 of 4 classes (I could deal with 2 of 4 since those two I'm retaking but I'm also on the verge of failure in my Japanese class too (I'll find out if I make it or not in a few weeks) leaving the only passing grade in my classes Xiaolin Kickboxing/strength and conditioning.... those who know me well enough can get as many laughs as they can stand out if it. Semester ending also means I'm out of a job for a little while... (being a comic artist for a school run newspaper bites) and I can't seem to find work anywhere else. laptop had a meltdown a while back (some of you know this) but the fun parts just starting.... it's going to cost me $700 dollars to fix instead of the initial 250 "tops"..... someone at Best Buy might die tonight..... anyway 700 bucks is more than I spent for the thing in the first place so yeah... fuck that(again not in the fun way) I'll be out of a computer until I can scrape up some cash for a new one.... good news my Birthday's coming up.... not that I expect a whole lot of help=P

*shrugs*... there might be more to tell but it's not all that important... just life. thanks for putting up with bitchy moany puppy ^_^ I'm gonna go back to drawing inappropriate things now

Sorry, looks like name dropping's going to be postponed again... FCN's over, that con high (and con funk =P) has lifted and the real world gives me a swtift kick to the groin... not fun laptop screen busted on me and has been put in for repairs (using a University rental right now)... in public.... this also means I cannot scan the one sketch or the one comission I got at FCN *pouts*

ah well such is my luck, nothin' to do but grin and bear it, bright side. I've got a new exrternal hardrive out of the ordeal ^_^

I always go expecting sex, then leave dissappointed =P I kid I kid and at least I didn't have to walk 4 miles dowwn the freeway before the sun came up to get home. friday kind of sucked, it started with my meeting the coolest ass hole I've ever met then sitting in artists alley hoping to catch a second glance at my work (and hopefully a comission (unfortunately I sat myself between varying levels of awesomeness, so I was pretty easy to overlook, 'eh manana'got 4 snack badges and a comission (that would be paid for the next day) soI didn't see a dime saw chickeb nuggets, cookies, and doritos, but no money. Sun goes down I go to my car and catch some sleep (yes I said car. not room. This is my stupid way of cutting costs) so I'm cold and uncomfortable for two hours outside and too damned....proud maybe? to ask any of the folks I'd met "heym can I crash on your floor?" the worst they can say is 'no' right? I'm an idiot...I go back in before the sun and pass out on a chair, after keeping myself awake as long as I could.

Day 2, wake up change clothes in car wash self in hotel bathroom (Sheraton bathrooms btw, awesomey clean) I get to Artists alley sell two badges, and leave somewhat angry... immature yes, and this leads me to run down the street (not very far mind you) to office max, buy two new folders and new sleeves, whiich I stuff with original sketches I had on hand..... then I met up with someone I'd been hanging out with earlier (you'll notice I'm not naming names..... that because name dropping occurs tommorow) I mentioned booze, which he happened to have we put two and two together and I got hammered.... remember kids, don't mix mixxed drinks and beer....I believe thats where I made my mistake. no details for now though.

I wake up in my car....go to artists alley, get a few comissions of myself and one of Bullseye I continue to go relatively unnoticed. I end my financial weekend dissappointed, and in a relatively bad mood, hung out for a while, calmed down, had a little fun (watched a message left to me by drunk me) and ended my weekend by a very cute fem I could never get mypaws on =P

as horrible as this all sounds, I actually had mysellf a lot of fun, and I'd do it again in a heartbeat I just find the negative half hilarious to talk about... also as a rather bitter and negative person I figured t wasappropriate, met some awesome folks, who'll be named later (after I watch most of them)

ps expecct to see a few illustrations of some of my dumb assery

open for them?

Yay new semester ^_^ only one problem.... I'm broke and I've gotta buy books. (and my meager paycheck doesn't come in for two weeks at the paper) I've come up on FA and asked for folks to buy from me before, but it never really worked out, nor do I expect it to now =P anywaey note me if you're strange anough to want something from me, and we'll work something out.

Take care and enjoy your day ^_^

ok so not all that bad but befause the road are so bad (apparently), the family dinner's been postponed until tommorow, which is the first time its ever happened in my life time so I thought it was note worthy. In the mean time, eveyone else enjoy their Holiday ^_^ (and a public service announcement..... DRINK MORE EGG NOG!!!!! that is all)

you figure it out =P

feeling better now (for all 2 of you who might care) but stilll stressed out. I should be alright after wednesday. nothing new to repot otherwise. Take care everyone

If you guessed right you'll realize I'm talking about me. but in a moment of I guess fucking enlightenment (oddly enough after a 1 hou nap when I should've been studying for these damned finals tommorow. ) that I have an unnatural aversion to anything work related (probably the real reason I'm basically unemployed,(university newspaper strip atist, is petty much an unpaying job once yiou include the gas money it takes me to get to school) barely passing most of my classes and live in a place that looks like its been hit by a fucking huricane! (and yet I have the nerve to say, "hmm.... maybe i should clean this up.) I guess its like procrastination to a maxxed out level. Now usually I'd just deny this, yell at myself for a while then break something in the house (then of course worry if said broken object was mine or not. ) but today I'm just gonna complaain and whine for a while and forgo the destruction, hell even this is a waste of time that I should be spending in my Japanese or literature book, but I just can't bring myself to start. I alwaays manage to find something else to do other than what I should be....


ok I'm done with the self-hate and and verbal feeeling sorry for myself... at least for now, tthanks for wasting your time listening to me bitch I going to try to get to work...

ps no this journsal won't be here tommorow and if you have some response thanks, but keep it to yerself

This thing is fucking ANCIENT!!!! got it from my brother as a christmas gift some years ago. And in my dirt poorness (yes it's a word now) it's been used as both sketchbook and drawing carrying case. then since I use compute paper f or most of my stuff the sketchbook portion of the sketchbook has been overlooked and I'm only just now gettting to the last pages on the thing!

..... well... it a big deal fo me....

*hides under a rock*

Well this is what happens to guys like me all the time, we make plans before looking up anything then wallow in quiet despare when we find out we fucked up and assumed too much =P was looking to register for january and maybe hit up Artists alley like I did at MFF to make a few bucks, but as I'm looking things up I'm starting to wonder if there is an artists alley ( looks to me like there's just a Dealers Room Art Show and Furry Marketplace, well dealers room is sold out furry marketplace is probably sold out as well. And as for the art show.... well I don''t think I'd do too well there to be honest =P

So my uestioon's for anyone who's gone before, is there an artists alley at this convention?

(wow kind of a long way to go for such a simple question.... this is my difficulty asking anyone for help kicking in now =P

ok I'll start with the real point here, I'm trying to make myself more social. I have issues with people (which folks can't believe when they actually meet me) but yeah I'm trying to break that habit and stop avoiding people like I've got the plague. This is a lofty goal I know, but hopefully I can pull it off =P

other news: The CON FUND: $1000 left to go. 0% there
The CON FUND is going to be the weekly updated progress of how much money I have to get to the next convention I wanna get to. It'll be added to mainly from ordered comissions and perhaps comic sales if I can ever get in touch with the book printing company near by I was told about. anyway right now it's at 0% so feel free to order a comission from me and put a drop in the bucket....please.... you can call it a charitable donation on your taxes! ok not really

either way thanks for reading, and take care folks

And had myself a BLAST!!! Saturday and Sunday I wound up sitting next to this guy  reginho (if you don't know him, he's awesome and you should) at the artists' alley and soon after walking aound starstruck at the artists I looked up to who happened to be around as well ^_^ on my other side were also some amazing artists, one of whom I did a collab comission with which urned out really nice ^_^ (I'll put her namee down just as soon as I unpack and sort out everything to find that name). after the con I got a few sketches of my trike from  mitch_dlg and  unknown_wolf and one of myself too (I'll post those soon enough)

Now the bad side, no where near what I had hoped to make, and fucking with the public transit system has now left me scarred deeply, but both I and my drawings made it up here home afe

Overall I had so much fun,that I wanna do another convention asap, so I've gotta get to raaising money ^_^ good night folks

PS PEEENSSSS!!!!!!
In my rush to run out on sunday night I seem to have picked up a second set of Micron pens (all but 2 sizes ibn a package.) so if anyone came away from MFF missing their pens please please PUHLEASE!!!!! contact me and I'm sorry in advanced

well I've run into a li'l snagg in the works.... I'm nearly out of money to get to Chicago next weekend.... I can get there, but quite frankly.... I'll be broke when I get there and praying I can make enough to cover my expenses.... so what I'm thinking of doing is starting preorders this week you'll get an original (not a print) the moment you see me, of your request and at a discount to what the price will be at the convention. (payable through paypal) so that I can have a little in pocket before I leave so here are prices, and I'd greatly appreciate any help you can give ^_^

Rough Prices: Pencil Sketch $5 per character Pencil Finished:$7 Pen Linework:$7 Color Pencil $10 US Marker: $15 per char

(backggrounds will cost extra and can be negotiated)

now moving on... I'm gonna look through my couch for spare change

Well I've got 10 minutes to kill so here goes.

| What is the name of your fursona?

Infinite

2 | Where did the name of your fursona come from?

It was originally a nick name since his first story revolved around the fact that he was something of a thug who'd never lost a fight "Infinite, the Infinity Wolf" but that story became discontinued before I ever gave him a real name, so that's his name now

3 | What species is your fursona and why did you choose that species?

Wolf, dammit it's my favorite canid species... and I'm not ashamed to admit that.

4 | What color is your fursona and why? Hair/fur/eyes/etc.

fur is a dingy/ cream colored white, though he was born whiter than fresh snow. its dingy mostlly from rolling around in dirt and grime as a li'l pup (yep it stained)

chose whit because... well have you seen white wolves?! they look awesome!!! I went with dingy/cream because I wanna look a li'l dirtier and rough around the edges.

5 | What is your fursona's personality and how does this compare to your RL personality?

Our personalities are pretty much the same except he's quite a bit braver than me. We're both nice enough guys, but consider ourselves defenders of well.... everything. that makes us both a li'l overprotective despite our best intentions, and we oh one difference though! I hate being offered help (bad thing but I don't think I can change it) Infinite's always hhappy to have an extra hand... my Fursona's probably more social than me too.

6 | What is one item your fursona owns that is significant to you in RL?

Bandana, Infinite always wears the same bandana, it has the infinity symbol stitched into it. In his initial storyline it was printed with tally marks of fights he'd won until (and I pulled this idea from a movie) a friend told the embroiderer (if thats a word) "You might as well put infinity on that bandana cuz you know he ain't never gonna lose." and he did. He has a few in other colors as well but black is the typical one.

its significant because, it's my characters only real distingushing feature also I'm always wearing a bandana (even at weddings, my sister can vouch for this) so it connects him to me

7 | What is one thing you think you would say to your fursona if you could meet?

"Wanna go get drunk? And maybe get into a fight?"

8 | What is one thing your fursona would say to you if you could meet?

"Alright let's get you dressed up we goin' out on the town tonight my botha! DON'T BE HALFWAY STUPID! BE ALL THE WAY STUPID!!!!"

9 | How has your fursona changed over the years?

He's been humanized since the original story. He used to be a kind of hero version of myself and now he basically my mirror (just better looking and much more self confident) oh he's gone from boxing as a past time to MMA.... basically he's kind of ggrown as I have (by that I mean not much)

10 | How long have you had this fursona?

I really don't know at this point. Made him sometime in middle schoolso maybe 7-8 years

11 | Would you like to be more like your fursona?

Hell yes!
bbut that'd take a lotta work.....

I have'nt ssaid anything about it but I'm intending to go to MFF and hopefully sell a few prints and such (key word hope since I doubt much will sell.) but anyway, I've run into a li'l snag in making the prints.... black ink fucking hates me and my soul! first attempt, my friend's printer, black ink runs out, and when we go to get more, it simply doesn't work correctly, I get home, dig out my old old incredibly old printer, and try again, after refilling its black cartridge and buying a new color one. mistake one, I bought the wrong type of color cartridge and had to go back to get the right one (thank you Office Max, and your team of sharp and beach rocks staff...) so I try again and now... lfirst print, comes out decent, not great, but presentable.... then the next, no black (just grey stripes where black should be) now at this pissed as I yank the ink ctridge out to "examine" it (as if I'd find something that would explain why its not working correctly and ccould magically fix it) to then find black ink on my fingertips (of course after leavveing a few nicce new fingerprints to my shirt) So I've determined that Black ink just hates me....

and that's the show folks. Go home.

searched my name on a public computer today (wanted to get a print of one of my Tame drawings and I found a few rather interesting things, namely halves of trades and requests that I did not know were finished.... years ago....

I feel like a real ass, mostly because I thought these folks had stiffed me because they were jerks. Jokes on me I guess. I'm gonna be sending out apology messages for the next few minutes, and seeing if I can repay these artists somehow, so if you have something I missed out on seeing, now's the time to show me and rub it in if you want.

Computer died the other week and I just got it back yesterday... (and it still has issues.... I'm starting t REALLY get pissed off about this thing) anyway. I come back to 3126 submission.... nt sure if I should be happy r angry about that =P ah well glad t be back at least... nnow t reinstall my scanner

Later everyne ^_^

Something will occur..... and you may know what.....

yep.. I truly have nothing to talk about.... GET ME STEAK!!!!!..... and a cobb salad...... well move along notthing to see here....

For those of you who don't know.... ok all of you. I'm trying to learn japanese atm. I was fishing about my computer and found the languuage bar so now I can share with you all my less than elementary grasp on the language　as I practice this =P so *yawn*

私は寝ます。お休みなさい。

(ps is you have a grasp on this language, feel free to let me know when I'm butchering something)

I just noticed it was gone along with the invert selection button, and I's confused

If you even vaguely comprehend that? You needmental help.

in the mean time. I'm gonna take a nap, night all =P (bumping away my old journal)

I'm honestly pretty ashamed to say that a lot of stuff has been put to the back burner recently, anyway, I'm going to try to get myself back on track *crosses fingers* here's hoping.

In other news, I'm drawing a comic for pocket money for a local paper. ^_^

ok I'm very confused right now, someone I'm absolutely certain I was watching before came up as not watched, sso I watched them.... and it still said +Watch on their user page, so I clicked it again... (and I think I went around that about 3-4 times before it said I was watching that person.... just thought I'd share that. (partly because it was weird, and partly because, I've gotta explain to this someone why I rewatched them a quarter of a dozen times... *hides under his rock =P*
