So after almost 2 years, my AC battery charger died on me today. To be frank it had been causing me problems since last week but not too much. Since I had a feeling it wasn't going to last much longer, I went ahead and ordered a new one off Amazon.com on Monday so my new one should be arriving by next week.

As for charging up my laptop till it arrives, that won't be a problem. Why? Because long story short, there were extra battery chargers in my house from past laptops from when me and my sister got them. I managed to find one that worked well with my laptop so I'm good. I'm gonna switch it with the newer one that arrives in the mail.

==============================================================

Alright so GTA V....I finished downloading the game on Tuesday (I started pre-downloading last Tuesday since I preordered it) however there seems to be some problems, and apparently I wasn't the only person to have these problems for the PC.

The problem I have is the lagging when I'm driving in a vehicle in the game. It happens after a while and lasts for a good couple of seconds before stopping and then continuing again. Now I know that Rockstar might do something about these problems, after all the game did just come out, but I'm kinda getting annoyed with the lagging. For those who have GTA V for the PC and found a way to fix that problem, please let me know. I would be most grateful^^

Here are the specs for my laptop:

GeForce GT 710M
Intel® Core™ i5-3230M CPU @ 2.60GHz
6.00 GB RAM (5.90 GB usable)
Windows 7 Home Premium

Again anything would be helpful to stop the lagging while driving.

(Wow I need to start updating my journals here)

Well what can I say about life? Well I have to say is that there is going to be some changes.

For starters, yesterday my father gave me one of his usual talks and for once I needed to listen and be serious. Long story short, I have the whole week off from work. Why? Because our house counts for the hotel are pretty low, and I'm talking low low here. So low that I'm not working Friday, Saturday and Sunday (I told my mother and she told my father, they were just talking). That actually pissed me off that I wasn't working those days but there's nothing that can be done about that. Because you know...life.

So because of that, yesterday I updated my cover letter and sent my resume' to three television companies. I do hope they get back to me so I can leave my hotel job. Been there for 3 years now.

And after the talk, I just felt down...my father made me feel worthless and...I think he's right. I should have been out from that hotel job, it should have been a temp job but I'm still there. Another thing, my internship that I took over the summer, I should have chosen something better than someone who owned their own small business but I was short on time and I needed something for the summer. My dad feels so disappointed in me, and that makes me feel down.

One last thing: Since I'm trying to leave my job, I'm gonna have be on the internet less. Unless I'm doing something more productive (that's what my father says, and he's right). So I'm gonna try to lessen my time on here.

Oh and one little thing: During the talk, my father wants me to stop watching cartoons/anime on my laptop because I should be done with that kind of stuff at my age.

........yeah that's not going to happen, I enjoy watching cartoons and anime and that's not going to stop for a long time. I don't care what anyone says.

These 4 and a half years have been a long one but...I'm finally done with college.

Yes I know I graduated back in May but that's because they let me walk. Today I checked with the university degreeworks and saw that my approval for completing my internship was there. Meaning I had finished my 12 week internship and completed the necessary requirements.

I may not be showing it but I'm really glad to be done with college:nod:

Starting next week on Tuesday, I'll be heading back over to where I had been doing my 12 week internship. I'm going back to continue my previous work there, and possibly a job offer there, not 100% sure yet but hopefully.

For the remainder of this week, I'm just gonna chill for a bit until this weekend before I head back to work, my other job^^;

---

Secondly I have to apologize.

I know I rarely posted any drawing art this summer. Sorry guys I just can't focus when it's so hot, I just lose the motivation to draw. I haven't given up on drawing though, I'm still gonna keep on practicing.

Hey there everyone.

So basically I started my internship back in the month of May and wow we're already in the month of July. Damn time is just flying by huh^^ Well either way I'm halfway done with my internship. Just have this month and then the first week of August. If I do a good enough job, I'll pass my internship and get my Bachelor's Degree and maybe land a job there. If I do get offered the job, I'm going for it and leaving my other job. I don't even have to think about it BUT it depends if I'm offered it.

Now about my drawings:

Yes I am still drawing of this moment but it's been a little bit. Why? One word: SUMMER

Basically I can't focus when it's hot outside or inside and I lose the will to draw and it's a pain. If I were in a cool place I'd be able to focus but so far no luck on there^^;

But I'm still practicing and as of now working on bodies for males and females. Wish me luck.

And that's it on life.

My good friend  zp92 is in need of commissions on FA. Click on the bottom link for more information:

It would be awesome if you guys help him out, it would be worth it.

Basically on Saturday May 10, me, my mother and father went to my university and I walked on my graduation. So I guess you can say I'm done, sort of.

Yes I was able to walk but I still have my internship to finish up but yeah again I walked. After it was all over, I couldn't think of a place to celebrate so we all went to Dunkin Dounts and ate there. It wasn't too bad actually, I thought it was ok.


I started my internship today and it was good, I can't wait to do more video shooting and editing.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywGSON9tNq0

C'mon you guys knew it was gonna happen sooner or later, and I can't wait=D

As of Thursday evening, I have no internet connection to my house. I found out my dad has been messing with it. I don't know if it's because I told him about my Steam problem or if it's something else but since then I haven't had any connection. I have it now because I am currently at my job and it has connection.

Now I'm not sure what's gonna happen but I am hoping to get connection to my house by either Sunday evening or by Monday, but till then I'll be using my job wifi and my university wifi from time to time.

But for that time, it gives me a bit to work on my school work and draw I suppose lol

But on another note:

GODDAMNIT ALL

I don't have any connection for at least a day and a half and I see so many submissions and such, jeez I can't go away for a day without getting a bunch XD

Well I'm gonna try to accomplish some things in the New Year of 2014:

1. Continue drawing/improving myself
2. Graduate from college (almost done)
3. Find another job (after finished with college)
4.Find a girlfriend (less likely but gonna try)
5. Find my own place (again less likely)

So yeah these are many things I want to accomplish next year, that I hope anyway^^;

Does anyone have an extra one they don't need? I would like one in my Y version if possible. If not it's cool.

I got both of them yesterday, and I have to say I'm liking it so far^^

Started off with X and the fire starter, sooooo yeah, I kinda won't be practicing drawing for a bit lol

While I was at work yesterday, I did some drawing in my sketchbook. I usually draw at work before I clock in and sometimes if were dead with no guests wanting anything to eat or most of the work has been caught. While I was looking at the Sonic character refs I printed out a few years ago for references, I realized something I should have done a few years ago back in 2010, 2011, and last year:

I should have printed out ref sheets of my own characters: Bolt, Aero, Alexa, etc.

When I thought about it yesterday, I felt so damn stupid that I didn't do that sooner than later. I always waited till I got home to use my laptop and look at them in my documents when I should have printed them out. Damn I am really slow...

But today I'm gonna print them out and use them for drawing, maybe that will definitely improve my drawing skills, I hope.

Do any of you know how to speed up the installation time? After you've bought the game that you wanted? (ex. Grand Theft Auto IV)?So you don't have to sit and wait for hours for the game to finish install into your desktop and/or laptop?

Yeah...happy birthday to me^^

I don't have much planned just gonna chill at home, draw some more. You know the usual.

And for those who even care, starting from this Saturday to the Saturday of January 5, 2013 I'm not going to be online as much, that includes Skype and MSN, because I'm going to be working all those days. Mainly because where I work it's going to be very busy during the Christmas week and New Years weeks. But after those weeks are over, we're not going to be as busy as before.

I have a good feeling I'll be working on Christmas, for the first time, but hey what can ya do right? Besides I need the money.

So yeah I thought I should let you guys know, including my friends on Skype and MSN.

I just have a few updates I thought I would share with you guys, or for those who even care.

Update 1:

I managed to fill up all of the pages of my sketchbook this week with my drawings. I have extra sketchbooks I bought a few years back I'm good.

And speaking of my drawings I'm gonna have to be honest with all of you: I have no idea when I'm gonna be able to scan and post them all on here. I don't know if my father is ever gonna get that part for his printer/scanner or if he's gonna get a new one or not at all. All I can say is that I have drawings since the summer of 2012. So yeah.

Update 2:

I managed to get Pokemon Black 2 and White 2 when they came out. For Black 2, I have already beaten the Elite Four, 1st time around, and from that time, I visited all of the places I couldn't go before, and battled most of the trainers. And caught most of the pokemon that I can catch in the game. As of now for Black 2 I'm just training most of the pokemon I caught in my box. I'm planning on starting White 2 next week.

Update 3:

College...all I can say there is stuff going on...and I'm gonna have to stay in college a little longer than I though, which SUCKS so much. I want to get out of there as soon as possible and quit wasting money on the university. Damn -_-

And that's it with life.

Is what my good friend  Sora_the_City-slicker aka DarkSora501 is doing right now on DA.

http://darksora501.deviantart.com/j.....68241#comments

Trust me when I say he's art is pretty damn awesome. I got a couple of point commissions myself. Go ahead and take a look. You may be interested^^

Yesterday marked 5 years that I've been on DA.

Wow I really have been on there for quite a while huh? Don't know how I should feel about this. I mean I joined this site when I was in highschool. Still can't believe I've been on here for that long...heh how time flies.

---

And speaking of time flying, I can't believe it's already August. Seriously where does the time go? Why does time have to go by so fast when you're having fun? Oh well. And speaking of August I go back to college by the end of this month. I already have my classes chosen and now I just need to pay for them, but before that I need for my financial aid to kick in first. Damn colleges always sucking up a lot of damn money.

---

Now as for my drawings, I have actually done quite a lot frankly, well somewhat a lot, thanks to the damn summer weather and my job kind of. As of now I still don't have a scanner. I would buy one but I still think my father is waiting on a part to arrive or is looking for one. And I don't want to waste money if he's gonna buy the part. But for now, no scanner. As for my drawings I've done a lot of stick figure positions and some Sonic stuff. Still working on them as of now but they're heads I'm working on. So yeah I'm still drawing.

I feel like I should have been a lot better after 3 years but I just feel like I haven't improved at all yet. Oh well.

Hello 21.

Yup today's my birthday. Yay I guess.

Since I was kinda of working, I didn't feel like posting a journal of a few events.

-Last week on Tuesday I had my interview at the local supermarket. It went pretty well I suppose. Either this week or the next week I'm suppose to be getting a call from them again and have another interview.

-Last week on Thursday, my debit card managed to come in the mail. I already registered myself for the online banking and already managed to get myself verified for Paypal. Now I'm not sure how the whole commissions thing works since this is a first for me but now that I have Paypal, well have had it for a long time but never used it , I'm just gonna save up my money a bit before figuring out how the commissions work. But for those who do get commissions it would be great if you guys could tell me how it works, thank you.

-Last week Friday and Saturday, while I was working I had to stay longer for my original hours, (ex. 4PM-10PM, now 4PM-11PM). It was annoying but meh I got over it, especially on Saturday I was annoyed. Once again I got over it.

So yeah that's what happened last week. Now I'm relaxing, kinda. And it's freakin hot over here.

Sorry but I just have to say this because personally this is getting very old to be honest.

For most of the day, and yesterday night, I've been seeing other journals about the PCA stuff that happened and frankly these journals have all been the same for all day and yesterday. These journals feature other artists, who used to be in the PCA, saying:

"I'm glad I left the PCA", "I'm sure glad I left the PCA".

And much much more.

---

With all due respect to some of those artists and I do mean all do respect:

Shut....up....already.

Seriously we all know you guys left the PCA long ago already, how many damn times do you guys have to mention it? Or better yet repeat the same thing over and over and over again? It's getting pretty old and pretty annoying. Once again:

We know you guys left the PCA already. Stop repeating the same crap already. You left the group, you're gone from the group, good for you. Move on with your lives already and be done with it.

Sorry but I had to say this since it was getting old.

I saw a bunch of journals today and they were mostly about people quitting the PCA.

Usually I don't care what people do and it's there decision but what the heck is this? Follow the leader and or leaders? Seriously if one person quits, then it's like more and more people follow his or her footsteps and just quit with them as well.

Are they following some sort of trend of something? Is it something that if one person quits the PCA and then the other person should quit as well? In my opinion that doesn't make any sense. Am I missing something from here? Because if I am please let me know because I don't get it.

As for me I'm in the middle but I don't plan on quitting at the moment.

First let me say I should have updated my journal a few days ago but I wasn't in the mood to^^;

Anyway let me start us by saying that on Sunday I said goodbye to my sister because she left the house to go to boot camp and ready herself for the Marines. She will be gone for three months and won't be back till June. Since last year she has been preparing herself for the Marines by training her body and all that stuff. I am happy for her that she is doing something she will enjoy but I will miss her.

College so far has been a little bit stressful for me lately. There has been some problems with registration for the Fall 2012 classes but they are getting sorted out and hopefully I will be able to get my classes without a problem. But for this semester I gotta focus on my classes a bit. Already found out I won't be having a final in one of my classes. Yay XD

And finally my drawings:

I'm not going to lie, I have been slacking a lot with the drawing lately. I only posted two pics of practice drawings. I should have done more over my Spring Beak but I just didn't have the urge. I'm gonna try and change that hopefully and post more and hopefully improve my drawings.

And that's it so far with life.

I should have mentioned this last week but I was too lazy so it's best to say this now:

Good news:
I finally got a job. I went to two interviews the last Saturday and a Friday and I managed to get the job.

Bad news:
This job that I got is something I don't wanna do and is something I've been trying to avoid since last year in the summer of 2011 but couldn't (thanks to my mom)_

My job for where I am going to be working is going to be making food, delivering food, and probably more. But before I can start, I have to go to a 2 hour orientation, it's called something else but I can't remember, next Saturday because they don't have a schedule date on the real orientation.

As much as I really wanted to avoid this job, I don't have a choice. And besides I shouldn't be complaining about this because of a few things:

1. I'm working part-time
2. I'm only working weekends
3. Once there is a better job, I'm leaving that place.

So yeah this is what I wanted to put up last week.

I figured I should update my journal and tell you guys what's been going on.

Last week Monday I started my Spring semester of college. The classes I am currently taking are alright in my opinion and as usual they're only Monday-Thursday, and I have no classes on Friday, which is once again a free day/school work day for me.

As always I'm doing my practice drawings. And finally I'm practicing on drawing my OC Bolt for once. I'm gonna continue with working with Bolt one step at a time (ex. working with his head and then body) and once I feel comfortable with one part I'll continue on drawing him. And once I feel even more comfortable, I'll work with the rest of my OCs.

And I'm not really sure but I think my dad might be upgrading my cell phone so I might be getting a new one.

Also just this morning I was feel really nostalgic with Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver so I decided to erase the file for my HeartGold game and start a new game. Did the same for SoulSilver too only because my sister wanted to play the game. Though I did a lot in the two games I don't mind doing them again. It'll actually be fun again^^

And that's pretty much it.
