Been a long time since I've posted here. I'm just popping in to advertise my new Discord server: Roleplay Haven. If you like to roleplay and tell stories, then please pop on over.

Even if you don't live in Europe: WATCH THIS VIDEO! THIS IS A VERY MASSIVE PROBLEM THAT COULD HAVE FAR-REACHING CONSEQUENCES!!!

Mario Mondays is going to begin! Come join me as I stream Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars! https://www.twitch.tv/slam422

The third week of my fundraising livestream is going to start soon! Please head on over to https://www.twitch.tv/slam422 to join in!

Tomorrow at 12PM EST (UTC -4), I shall be streaming A Hat in Time and (Hopefully) Transformers: War for Cybertron in an effort to help raise money for my girlfriend's new medicine and chemotherapy treatments. Please join us if you can! https://www.twitch.tv/slam422

Tomorrow (9/29/2018), starting at 12 Noon EST (UTC -4), I will be hosting my first ever donation livestream on Twitch! The money I raise is going to go to my girlfriend, whom has cancer and is currently unable to afford the medicine she needs to live.

The stream will last for six hours, in which time I'll be playing A Hat in Time for the first half of the Stream (NOT DOING DEATH WISH MODE), and Lego Marvel Super heroes for the second. If you want to tune in, follow the link below to my Twitch.TV page.... And perhaps follow me over there; as this most definitely will *not* be my last stream.

EDIT: The original link expired. The new one is permanent now.

So a while back, I posted a journal about a roleplay server I was on called Seki's RP Server. I was there for a good while running my own RP, Snowbell's Frozen Kingdom, in one of the threads. However, due to various... issues on the server with one or two people, I thought it best to move the roleplay to it's own server. If anyone wants to check it out and join in, click the link below!

My friend Nakarama is gonna be doing his first live stream shortly! Go ahead and go to this link here to check it out!

https://www.twitch.tv/nakaramayt

So I recently made a friend with someone who makes YouTube let's plays whom calls himself Nakarama. On a whim, we decided to do an impromptu recording of Golf with your Friends together, and I'd thought I'd share it here!

....All I ask is that if you comment on the video, that you don't make mention of FA; if only for Naka's sake.

So I made mention of this in one of my previous submissions, but ever since I got this new computer, I've been getting into RP sessions over on Seki's RP Server on Discord. It's an open server for ASFR-related roleplay, though relatively new, and its been super fun so far! So I figured I'd share the link and see if anyone would want to join in!

Be aware, though; there are both SFW and NSFW RPs ongoing there; with my own RP "Snowbell's Frozen Kingdom" being in the latter category. Also, note that not everyone on the server speaks English as their first language, and also that you really need to READ THE PINNED POSTS before starting joining in on an RP. Stick to the rules and everyone has a good time!

Hey everyone!... Well, at least everyone who stuck around these last 2 or so years I've been inactive...

But rest assured, those of you who stuck it out are about to be rewarded, for I FINALLY HAVE A NEW COMPUTER!!!!.... Sort of....

....Okay, so the truth is it's not MY computer yet. I've been saving up some cash from my part-time job, and have begun payments on this new gaming desktop computer; complete with curved gaming monitor, gaming mouse & keyboard! I only just got it today, so I haven't really had too much time fooling around on it. But once I get settled in, I'm going to start working on getting the rust worked out of my skills & hopefully get you all some more art to gawk at!

I also want to start getting back into writing stories again; both fanfics and my more original Super Randomness stuff. And there are other avenues of content I wanna experiment with in the future, but said avenues will not be for some time as I need to look into what I would have to do to get all of that set up and functioning.

Either way, I'm back! And I hope that I won't be going anywhere anytime soon!

Hey everyone; long time no update! I'm sorry I've been so quiet the last two years, but things have been rough. My computer crapped out for good this time, and I haven't had the money to replace it due to being unemployed most of the last couple of years, so I haven't really had a very reliable means of getting on here and chatting with you all (I wasn't COMPLETELY internet/social media-deprived, but it tends to be a crap-shoot at times). But I hope to change that in the coming year.

But before I get into the details, I just wanna thank everyone who has commented, faved & subscribed to me both here and on DA over the course of the last two years. I really do appreciate each and every single one of you and the support you show my work. It really does inspire and drive me to want to get back into doing art for you all, as well as hopefully get back into writing as well. I enjoy both so much, but can't do either without a working computer, so I appreciate any and all patience.

Now on to real life stuff. I've been fortunate enough to FINALLY land myself a part-time job working at Fazoli's. It doesn't pay much, but it's enough for what I need. I plan on saving up over the course of the next year to get myself a new computer so that I can FINALLY get back into working on art AND be able to play the latest games as well! But I have no idea how long it will be before that happens, so all I can say is stay tuned.

Anyway, I've not got much time on my library session left, so I'll leave it at that. Sorry if I've made you all feel like I've abandoned you guys here, especially those who have stuck around since the start. I really, truly am working on getting things situated so I can get back to work on Art and writing... And maybe something ELSE that I've been contemplating.... ;)

Until next time, guys; Later Days!

THERE ARE NO WORDS TO DESCRIBE HOW HYPED I AM, SO I'MMA JUST GONNA TYPE IN ALL CAPS!

EDIT: Stupid Wii U didn't copy the whole journal over from DeviantART. I hate it when that happens... Here's a link to the DA page: http://slam422.deviantart.com/journ.....date-677969852

Howdy guys; Long time no chat. Sorry I've been so quiet for so long, computer being borked and all, but I'd thought I'd go ahead and let you know what's been going on & what my plans for the future are.

First and foremost, I've finally got a job now; part-time janitor & food server over at Dairy Queen! It's not much, but at least now I can start saving up for a decent computer... And a Nintendo Switch, of course.

Speaking of gaming, I finally got to rent and play Breath of the Wild on my Wii U. And OH MY GOD I NEEEEED TO BUY THIS GAME!!! SERIOUSLY you guys; if you haven't played it yet, THEN GO PLAY IT!!!

...Oh, and I know finally own Wind Waker HD. The Gamecube version was my first exposure to the series, so I'm glad I finally have the opportunity to actually own it now.

I'm also super excited for the likes of Splatoon 2, Sonic Mania, Sonic Forces, Super Mario Odyssey, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe... UUUUUUGH, my poor wallet's gonna hate me come Christmas...

Finally, I wanna address the future of my art sites. D

...NOW the hype is real!!!!!

My only regret is that Nintendo will be missing out on this one...

We're here everyone! We got here yesterday evening after a looooong drive full of ups , downs, one angry baby screaming, a MASSIVE traffic jam & lower-back pain...

..........LOTS of lower-back pain........

To add insult to injury, when we finally DID get to the hotel, it turned out that one of the rooms we reserved, which SHOULD have already been paid for, WASN'T paid yet! We ended up having to pay an extra $800 to get our room key, which is BULLSHIT!!!

There was also an incident with the hotel's fire alarm going off in the middle of the night, but fortunately there was no fire.

So as you can see, yesterday was fairly... "eventful" for me & the family, so I hope you can forgive me for not updating you all sooner, but we made it through & are stronger for it!

...Buuuuuuut I think we're gonna FLY to New York next time. Less hastle that way.

Hey everyone! This is just a quick update to let you all know that me & my family are getting ready to head on up to New York to go and pay our last respects for my mother, who sadly passed away due to complications caused by a burn injury in May last year. We'll be up there all week, but I'll have my dad's tablet close by to reply to any comments when I get the chance.

That's really all I have to say right now. I'll let you all know when we get there with another journal update. Until then, take care!

Hey everyone! I know it's been forever since my last journal, but things have been pretty busy here for a while. However, I was recently able to find the free time to just goof off so I decided to rent Super Mario Maker so I could give it a try, and I've just finished & uploaded my first course: "A Simple(?) Castle".

Feel free to give it a try & let me know how well I did for my first try. The course's ID is A161-0000-0250-91B2.

Oookay, let's try this again. Now that the whole thing with my sister and Baby Brock have settled down, the move is back on! Throughout today and, more than likely, tomorrow, we're going to be packing up the rest of the small stuff around the house, and just moving EVERYTHING over.

THIS WILL BE MY LAST JOURNAL IN THE OLD HOUSE THIS TIME!!! I SWEAR IT!!!

.....*ahem*, A-anyway... Here's hoping the move goes smoothly this time!

Hey everyone! So, if you hadn't seen it, a recent update to my previous journal noted that I and my Dad were delaying the move for a short while due to to real life issues that came up. I wasn't entirely specific on what the issue was for the sake of not worrying anyone, but now I can finally affirm the details.

I don't know if I made mention of it previously, but my little sister Jennifer and her boyfriend (whom she WILL eventually marry), about eight and a quarter months ago, successfully managed to conceive a child of their own. That's right, my little sister was pregnant!

Now, here's the thing; my sister has had some history of medical problems in the past. I won't go into details, but her pregnancy was guaranteed to be a moderate-to-high-risk one from the start, so we've been keeping a close eye on both her and the baby since. Recently, however, Jenn was starting to suffer from some pregnancy-related blood pressure issues, and the doctors were afraid they would adversely affect the baby as a result. So they decided to take him early via c-section.

And as of this post, I can happily report that at 9:23 this morning, a healthy and wonderful baby boy, my new nephew Brock, was born into this world; measuring 20 in. long and weighing in at 8 lbs., 7 oz.!

I'm so happy for my little sis, and so proud; she's gonna make a great mother! And if anyone has any words of congratulations or well-wishes to send to her, I'll be sure to pass them along.

Update: Hey everyone; just figure I'd let you all know how things are going as far as the move is concerned, which, unfortunately enough, had to be postponed for a little bit due to recent events here on my end. I can't really go into specifics just yet, but know that it is nothing bad. I'll update again when the move is back on.

Original Post: So I figure now is a good a time as any to talk about this, considering that it's getting to be that time anyway.

So as many of you know from a previous Journal I made, last year my mother sadly passed away. Since then it's been a roller coaster of ups and downs for me, my father (whom I live with) & the rest of my family; which in turn has drastically affected my ability to produce art for you guys both on a technical and emotional level. What makes matters worse for us is that my father, whom was the only source of income in our house, had lost his job towards the end of last month, so things are not the greatest right now.

But Dad losing his job was also something of a blessing in disguise. Now that he doesn't have the job anymore, we have no reason to stay here anymore. So we're getting out of this spit-on-the-map town and moving in with my younger sister and her boyfriend (both of whom were planning on trying to convince us to move in with them anyway). They live in a much, MUCH larger town than where we are now, so there are going to be far more job opportunities for both of us there.

With that said, Dad and I have been working around the clock the last month to pack everything up. As it stands we've gotten pretty much everything that isn't furniture, computer or gaming-related packed up and moved over to my sister's house. This friday we're going to borrow a truck and trailer from my Uncle so we can move our furniture and get out of this pimple of a town for good!

This will be the last journal I post in the old house. I will update you all once we are moved and settled in with my sister. So until then, take care everyone!

Well..... This happened...

....Well, at least we now know that the squid sisters have been speaking fluent Japanese all this time; that means it's possible to translate the lyrics to their songs. SOMEONE GET ON THAT NOW!!!!




....I'd do that myself if I could, but I barely speak English as is; and English is my first language....

...It's 4:30 in the morning where I am...

...I'm absolutely exhausted...

...And staying up this late isn't doing me any favors with the cold that I have...

.......But I don't care. Do you know why...?











..............................It's back...










SUPER MARIO BROS. Z HAS RETURNED!!!!

My patience has rewarded me! I've yet to watch it as of this post, but I felt as though I had to be the first to post about it for some reason. I don't know why, but really; WHO CARES!??!

Now... If you'll excuse me, I have to go and watch this now....

Hey there everyone! Sorry this New Year greeting is coming about a day late, but I've just gotten back from spending the New Year with my younger sister & her boyfriend so my access to internet was fairly limited in that time for me to write up a proper journal...

....Well, let's not beat around the bush and get this over with; 2015 sucked. Between me losing my old computer and all capacity for making art as a result, as well as the unfortunate and untimely passing of my mother back in May, this year hasn't been the greatest for me or my family. And that doesn't even include all sorts of other little nuances that has happened during the year. I went into 2015 thinking it was gonna be the year everything changed for the better, but instead everything just crashed and burned.

But hey, at least the holidays were nice enough! I got almost everything I wanted for Christmas (Splatoon Amiibo 3 Pack will be mine soon enough), I got to play Santa for my nephews (as in I just wrapped gifts for them; I didn't actually dress the part even though I could TOTALLY pull it off), and I got to see the new Star Wars movie yesterday; which was TOTALLY AWESOME!!!

This year is gonna be an emotional one for me, I've got to admit. Later on in June I'm gonna be heading on up to New York to spread my mom's ashes in accordance with her final wishes, and then Dad & I are gonna be moving in with my little sister in hopes of getting our lives back on track. Hopefully I'll also be a bit more productive in the next coming year as well as far as art is concerned; since I have a way of making some now (though I still need to find a decent replacement for Paint.NET for my editing, as Linux can't run it).

AND JUST SO YOU KNOW, I HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN ABOUT THE CHARACTER AUCTIONS I WAS GOING TO HOLD; It's just been a little bit more difficult getting that set up than I thought it was going to be...

In any case, as far as New Years resolutions are concerned, I'm not really in the habit of making them anymore as I tend to never keep them. I'm just gonna see what 2016 brings me and hope for the best.

In any case, I hope you all have a Happy New Year, and I'll see you all later!
