Got into a wreck
Posted 3 years agoHey all, I made a GoFundMe to help out my mom and I after we got into a car wreck and lost our only vehicle. We were at an intersection getting off the highway on to a main road and had a green arrow so we started turning. A motorcycle going over the speed limit ran a red light and hit the side of our right front door so hard it bent the door post and sheered off the drivers side mirror so hard it flew into the cart and hit my mom upside the head and then landed in my lap. There's an imgur link on the donation page if you want to see the damage to the car and what that bike did to it. Any help is appreciated and you don't have to donate, just share it around if you could.

The passing of a great woman, my grandmother.
Posted 8 years agoThis post is going to be a little different than most I have here, it’s something real and something very personal, so I apologize if this post is too long, rambling and doesn’t really make too much sense, i’m kind of unloading as I remember things, kind of a stream of consciousness remembrance.
This is Joann Marie Briscoe and she is my grandmother. Currently she is in hospice at North Kansas City medical center and she is living out her last few moments comfortable and surrounded by family and loved ones. I guess I just wanted to write a little tribute to her as she’s one of the most amazing women I know and she’s been through so much in her life to get to this point. She practically raised me ever since I was young, she’s always been in some part of my life, either living in her house or thinking about her while I was living abroad. Her day care was the source of many old friends and fond memories, tearing around her back yard full of wood chips, playing on the swingsets and play houses she had out, all the toys we got to play with and all of the wonderful Christmases that we never knew she funded, just that Santa always knew what to get us that it was nigh uncanny.
She supported me and my two brothers pretty much every step of the way, when we were humble enough to accept it, and I never regret a single moment living under her roof and helping her with whatever she needed. My only regret is that I didn’t do enough, That I didn’t stay with her longer, living there instead of bouncing all up and down the east coast living off of couches. I didn’t know back then what I had and if I could do it all over again I would have never left for massachusetts the first time, or colorado the second. I would have stayed and done everything I could to make things easier for her and grandpa.
She’s survived through a her first husband passing away, devastating house fire, breast cancer, and her second husband passing to name just a few things. She hung on and she fought to live and see her great grandbabies grow as much as they have and be a part of her life. Joann was always quick to smile and laugh and I am so blessed that one of the last interactions I had with her was getting to see her radiant smile light up her face even in the midst of a debilitating stroke and aneurysm. I’m happy the EMS dispatcher I was talking to on the phone asked me to have her do that so at least I got to see that amazing smile one last time.
My grandma is an amazing person who has touched more lives in a positive way then the average person can say they have, and I think the world is better for it. There’s nothing negative about this joyous light that I can even imagine and with her passing the world is a little dimmer for it. I grieve, but i’m also happy, happy that she’s going to be at peace and finally be with Jim and everyone who’s gone before her, she’s fought and won, and now it’s time to rest.
I love you Grandma, I’m going to miss you so much.

Back home..
Posted 8 years agoBack home and okay now, minus a toe. if anyone cares..
I've been in the hospital
Posted 8 years agoFor the past four days I've been in the hospital after I noticed that my right foot which has had a bad wound on it had gotten red and infected. So to be safe I went to the ER to have it looked at immediately, I'm a diabetic so that stuff is serious to me. I was seen and inspected and one night turned into three, day four I found out the news I had feared.
The toe is going to have to go. And maybe a few inches of foot under it. There was nothing that could have been done about it and I was even praised for keeping it as well maintained as I had. The wound developed a staph infection that traveled into the bone and up the top of the foot a little. I will not show pictures because they are pretty gnarly and graphic but trust me in that it's no bueno.
They are going to try to get me into surgery tomorrow to take care of this and then the real work of aftercare starts. I'm to keep my leg up above my heart 90% of the time and they do not want me on my feet for more than five minutes at a time.
I'm pretty scared about this, not going to lie but I know between mom and Noben and all my friends I'll have the support and safety net I need. Who knows maybe after this I'll have a badass cane or something, heh. Trying to keep light-hearted and as positive as I can because you guys know me, that's how I do.

Dealing with some heavy family things.
Posted 10 years agoMy grandfather just passed away, he was diagnosed with mouth cancer and was undergoing radiation treatment. It got so bad he had to be fed through a tube in his stomach. As of last week he was in hospice as things had progressed to the point where all they could do is ease him out comfortably, and tonight he is finally gone.
Rest in Peace James Briscoe.
Rest in Peace James Briscoe.

So.. This is a thing. (MLP/Steven Universe related)
Posted 10 years agoSpecifically this: http://dennybutt.tumblr.com/post/11.....mic-to-vent-my
I don't get it.. why can't people who like one cartoon like another? Both shows are magical and whimsical and are wonderful pieces of art. I've just recently fallen on to the Steven Universe bandwagon and I have to say it's really comfy in there.. they have Cookie Cats.
Both shows have made me feel so many emotions, both shows have made me cry (Steven's lion delivered video tape anyone?) And I just.. don't get it. You can like Star Wars and Star Trek, You can like Adventure Time and Regular Show, Hell you can even like Fish Sticks and Custard.
It's a cartoon, not a saviour for whatever thing that's being needlessly attached to it..
Shock and surprise.. and lots of people can watch it and can like it. Stephen Universe belongs to all of us. We're all Crystal Gems, Just like we all know about the Magic of Friendship. This is ridiculous.

Can someone explain how booru sites work?
Posted 11 years agoSo, Noben gives me a raw image she's not uploaded anywhere else to upload on Derpibooru first, before anyone else. I upload it directly from her art folders and it's got my name as the uploader on it, all is well. She uploads it after that on deviant art and someone takes that image and uploads it over mine as a duplicate, stealing the post, the tags, and the write up I put there. How the fuck does the artist ever get a claim for their own shit on sites like that? I'm sure if Noben herself was overwritten like that she'd be beyond livid.
James..
Posted 11 years agoI never got to tell you how much your art meant to me, your sense of humor and wonderfully drawn art both captured my imagination and inspired me, influenced me, titillated me, made me think and made me laugh. You were there man, in the 90's when I discovered this whole 'Furry' thing. You and Ferris and WolfKidd, Ken, Terry, Michelle, Gene, Scotty, Max.. all of you got me into this and I've never looked back. I wish I got to tell you, to at least shake your hand, give a kind word, tell you how much you are the reason I have any skill or drive to draw today, how much I poured over your linework, looking at every stroke of your pencil and knowing i'll never reach that peak but being okay with that.. you were there, you had that covered...
We lost one of the great ones, and I feel a tangible void where his creativity is gone. His light was winked out far too soon.
Thank your inspirations, let them know what they mean to you, right now, do it. Hold on to their memory and why they are so important to you because life unfortunately is fleeting, and you may loose your chance to let someone important to you know that they touched you and made a difference.. I know I have a lot of messages to write soon.
Rest in peace, Jimmy.

So.. what do people want?
Posted 11 years agoWhat would make anyone give a crap about my art? I post things I'm proud of and they get no attention or constructive criticism. I feel like I'm whining saying this.
Playing Wildsta- ..nevermind
Posted 11 years agoWell I would be playing Wildstar right now if it didn't insist I was a guest account and put me into 8 hour wait cues.. and their soloution is saying "Oh yeah just play on a new server where all your pre-order items can't be accessed because they're bound to the one character you made on a server that blew up and already ran through the hour long tutorial areas again and again." Ugh.. guess i'll be waiting until a week after launch to play

Fine fine, you win aspie.:
I like how i'm called a name for defending my own character and persuing image claims. Also, what does aspergers have to do with anything in this situation? Nevermind the fact that I don;t have it. Whatever.. this is what I was going to reply to them with before they deleted themselves:
Make your own character, it's not hard. I did it and you stole it from me, so what's that say about you who called me an aspie?

Posted 12 years agoSo, I hear folks like my pony! that is awesome, she's one of my favorite creations. One thing I'd like to know is, what would folks like to see her doing, and what artists would one recommend to draw her besides me and Noben?
Misgendering
Posted 12 years agoI'm not sure if people realize this, but when you misgender a trans person, wither to their face or not, it really hurts.
Please keep this in mind when talking to folks, auto assigning a gender to someone is rude and it hurts, do some research before you simply HAVE to use a pronoun. Take a second to think before 'sir' or 'he' bubbles forth from that cesspool.
Sorry, just fucking frustrated about mans insensitivity to man.
