Yup, today is my birthday. W00t W00t! Another year widening the gap between my age and my maturity level. Lol

So, next weekend I'm trying to throw a LAN party. Should be fun.

Also, this weekend, i went to the IML market.. and WOW.. it reminded me of my first furry con. Wide-eyed wonder at the new experince. It was Homo-Heaven.

So does anyone out there play Everquest 2 Extended? the Free to play version? They are having a Doubble XP period for the time SOE games were down.

So, I've decided to fully Furr up my steam profile.. cause As i've switched from Console to PC gaming, I want more friends to play Co-Op style games with. So, Add meh!!!

I'm looking to see if anyone, anywhere on my friends list would want to have a panther roomie.

So, i'm looking to move on in life.. change of pace to hopefully get me out of my funk. I'm a nice guy, And wouldn't bring a lot of stuff.. I could easily pay about $300 a month for rent, up to $400... and that's unemployed. I'd like to be somewhere that I can get a job. But I can't, and will never be able to drive. I drink socially. (and am a fun and flirtatious drunk).. don't do drugs, and i am respectful.

Plz let me know.

So, it's funny... I hate the word Drama.. because me mentioning this in a contextually appropriate way, several years ago.. was called "me bringing up drama". But, I decided I was going to do this anyway.

Today is Mother's day. And I urge you all to appreciate your mothers, those who still have them. I lost my mother in Mid 2002. She died. for what I consider Malpractice, but i think was officially complications after a very serious car accident. She was rear-ended by a van at 80 mph.. she was at a stoplight in a Daewoo..

Anyway, she passed away, and to make matters worse, Her husband... remarried on the following mother's day weekend. Less than a year after her passing.

But, It's kind of sad. If she were still alive today, I doubt she'd be very involved in my life today. Growing up, I was the only child of a single mother. She raised me herself, and.. very well, i must add. She was a wonderful mother and was my best friend. But I turned 16 as eventually happens, and became a teenager. But more importantly, she re-married. And, in retrospect... Kevin, was very bad for me. He instilled in me, some... very not good trains of thoughts.

But I turned 18 and moved away from home. I was learning who I was.. exploring my sexuality.. and because of... we'll say.. "religious commitments" (FYI, this is not a platform for a religious debate..) A lot of that I had to keep from her.. and she didn't ask about. But I always suspected she knew.. Either way. She was always there for me, to support and help me. And I will always miss her.

So, I'm getting a lil chunky.. And I'm working on some.. effective ways of slimming up.. for various reasons. But, one plan i've picked is.. And I'll try it for a week to see what happens.

Fruit+ Vegetables +Chicken+Water.... Attempt to make that all that i eat for the next week. Oh, and taking a multi-vitamin. And maybe throw some Super-B into that. And doing something active for an hour a day and some lifting. My chest, abs and back being my problem areas.

So, Something few people understand is, when someone, I seemm to not be able to just "get Over It". Now.. one of the things I do, is Purge people. If a person is close to me, and they have hurt me.. continuously and drastically, and seem unable to change their actions, either voluentarily or by their own immaturity, I purge them from my life. It's like what the human body does. If there is something toxic inside, it purges the toxic thing from them.

I'll confess, it's not an easy or simple process. For me to go to such a length, that means that they have really gottend deep inside of me. It's very not easy in fact, and quite painful, and is truly never a full purging. Those people.. or what they were.. will always hold a spot in my heart.. But.. You know?

I hate shallow people, and i hate those who reward shallow people. This fandom is full of shallow people, shallow good people and shallow assholes. Shallow good people are frustrating, because they are good people, but are good to "cute" or attractive people. Then there are Shallow assholes. And there are too many of those.

Like this one person who i've been trying to talk to, who obviously isn't interested in friendship with me.. but CLEARLY is interested in attractive and popular people who give him attention. Or another person, who I've known for 3 years, has barely taken the time to talk to me, but he meets another friend of mine who some would onsider "girly" and the next thing I know, said friend is bragging to me how said person is buying a train ticket for him to visit.

There are more stories, trust me.. But i don't want to type all night. Just know I don't have time for assholes like that. and said "friend" is in the past tense, as i don't support those who encourage that kind of person.

http://www.betanews.com/article/Dog.....out/1303777862

So this is a game called Dog Wars. In this.. Seemingly basic game, you are sending dogs to fight, in a game that steals much from Mafia Wars, and Drug Wars.

Now.. When I first heard about it, was a website, where there was such a strong outcry, I learned everything about the game.. accept anything about the game.. just 100+ words about how it should offend me and it should be banned. But when I actually saw the game.. cause.. fuck, only thing the article did was made me want to buy the game.... But the game is all implied violence.. and hardly Glorifies the fighters..

Personally, if you ask me.. This is no different than Pokemon. Lessie.. you walk around, capturing innocent animals from their native environment, and trap them in small cages. barley feed them and only bring them out to fight other innocent creatures, either in random fights, or in battles with other people, in exchange for little more than notoriety...

Yup, streaming me playing Rainbow Six Vegas...

WHy not, right?

Sometimes, I have to wonder why I'm even in this fandom. It just tends to be me seeing others have fun, and not me. Me seeing everyone else say how awesome everyone else is. I poke around FA and see people post how they loved meeting them at so-and-so con or Furbowl, and.. I don't ever get that. I'm not even going to ask if anyone would care if I left the fandom, cause I already know the answer.

I have no mouth, and yet I must scream....

YOU JUST WOKE UP NAKED IN BED NEXT TO ME..... using only 3 words, what would you say to me?
If you comment, you need to post so I can reply to you.

In summery, This past FCN was one of the worst cons.. Maybe THE worst con out of all the cons I've been to. No, it has nothing to do with the staff or the Con itself.. In fact, the Hotel Staff for FCN makes me want to go back more than the attendees. Anyway, nobody wants to hear my ranting... so I'll just recap the positive

I want to thank SyberFox and Killian for making Thursday and Sunday night rock. It was rather Boss, invading the hotel lobby in fursuit wearing Togas! TOGA TOGA TOGA!!!! And the Sunday night Lobby party was the coolest thing i've ever seen at a con. Everyone was dancing, having a great time, some of us were getting hammered out of our skull.. I loved It. Met some awesome folks, like KazeWolf Ands as the night drew on, Sunday night, that is. I got a strange mixture in a shot.. and WOAH.... I didn't expect to get THAT drunk.. Syber and Crew know how to fucking party.

So after that, i stumbled downstairs in a drunken stupor.. and wandered and chatted s'more, being entirely too goofy.. lol.. but it ended on a great note, with a nice long deep conversation with Darius Koopa.. Which was seriously unexpected. I have gained an entirely new respect for him. Ate bacon for Breakfast.. which I think was a bad idea when drinking... We were joined by Glocky and talked a little about music and shiz, before I decided to get SOME sleep. Woke up with SUCH A HANGOVER!!!

Packed for the drive home.. and was able to sleep in the car, which helped relieve my hangover.. got home and have been asleep since then till now.

It's almost that time again.. It's been almost 5 months since i've been to a con, and thanks to a bunch of furs on twitter, I'm bouncing and anxious for the next con.

Call me Den Mother on this one, but, I've met so many awesome Anubis rip....er.. i mean Egyptian furrys and Egyptian fans, i figured I'd start a group for it.

Hopefully I won't get Furs Actually FROM Egypt pissed at me..

Oh! Linky!

 egyptianfurs

I encourage Panthers, and Lovers of panther to join our new FA group,  thepanthersoffaunited Which I will add onto my profile... When i remember how to change it >.>

One day Soon, I will Dissappear.

If you feel that statement is too melodramatic, then feel free to stop reading. Or skip down to the "tl;dr" version

But, seriously Someday within the next year, I will bid adieu to the Shale fursona. Where am I going next, I don't know. I always get a bunch of silly hippy answers when it comes to choosing a fursona, but.. There is a right answer and a wrong answer.This fandom is Fucked up in so many ways, and Discrimination is a big one.

Now when I relate this to "Raceism" I get a bunch of replies saying "OMG!!! IT'S NOT THE SAME!" then let me ask you this. WIthin the last few months, I've been told by one person that I would not be invited to a party because I wasn't a certain "species" ie. Dolphin/orca/otter.. Earliier tonight I was told that a person i might have been interested in was only interested in relationships and sex with foxes. Those statements are acceptable. WHy?

Would you be fine with someone telling you that you wern't invited to a party because you were gay? Someone you liked said they wouldn't want a relationship with you because you were black? Now in silliness, this is.. accepted, but these people were 100% serious. And there are other things too, more subtle actions.

So What do I mean by "Wrong answer" Well, I give this example. I mentioned on the twitter that i wanted to change my fursona. I got many response on how I should pick what is most true for me.. or some crap like that.. but one person in particular who said this, then goes on to.. well just gush over every otter on twitter, and alos replies to me how he prefers wolves and such. So I said that, i'd make his suggestion for my new fursona to be a wolf. And this is the way many furs act, admitedly myself too. But, I also realize that under those furry pictures there is just another person.

Now, I know I will go and add other panthers, just because they are panthers.. but the truth is, I almost feel forced into it. There is not very often people who enjoy panthers, So after hearing all day how great wolves, foxes, otters, horses, huskys, and dragons are.. I feel SOMEONE should show us some love.

Now, by the way, before you people start thinking I'm all butthurt over not being able to get in someon's pants or not being invited to a party.. I'd like to point out 1) I wasn't even within 500 miles physically of said party, and 2) I'm not like that, nor am I that desperate to get laid.

TL;DR Version

So in the end that leaves me two choices. Either fight back against the system, or play the game. SoI'm phasing out Shale... It will either be perminant, as in I leave the fandom, or I will take a new fursona. As much as I love to be an activist and try and change the fandom for the better, I am only one person, and I like making friends much more. So I'll be an activist by being transparent. Before You akk try to tell me what I should do and make the choice of me making a choice to not make a choice and be the same thing.. realize that what I chose will be MY choice.

Oh I forgot to add the most important part. The reason I say I'll dissappear, is because I know that I will still be seen as Shale, no matter what fursona I switch to. So. It will be a clean cut off and break, including changing all my name, and contact info. And I won't make it public who or what I switch to. The only people I will tell are those who are truly close friends. For everyone else.. Realize I won't always be here... This will be your chance to show me what kind of friend you are.
