Christmas Journal update.
Posted 11 years agoNo Christmas Journal today or tomorrow most likely to due a very tight schedule, and yes that's right I will not have time to type because I have a super secret Christmas commission I am doing for someone and also my favorite NFL team, the Carolina Panthers, plays their biggest game in game in five years tomorrow. Then Monday I'm going to see the Hobbit 2, so really the only day I will have free is Tuesday and that's the day before Christmas. So all in all I will have to lay off a few things such as: posting random journals like this one, playing video games, and watching youtube videos but that's ok, I actually need to take a brake from some of those things, plus I love to draw and this commission will provide me with some much needed practice as I have gotten a little rusty with free-hand drawing and being new to drawing furries instead of bowls of fruit and simple backgrounds will be a new learning experience as well, well I guess it's time to stop the run-on sentence and go to bed.
Goodnight ev(furry)body <-get it, it's a pun, everybody+furry=evfurrybody :)........why are yaw all looking at me like that, HEY! don't point that knife at me Mr, hey stop that! *runs away with my paws over my head screaming, then dives into bed* ZZzZzzZzzZZz

Christmas Break!!!
Posted 11 years agoThank God half the school year is over, I'm so glad to be on Christmas Break. I will try to write a Christmas oriented journal tomorrow if I have the time and I don't forget, it's to late and i'm to tired to do one right now. I also would just like to point out that I love animals very much, but I have never wanted to kill some dogs more then ever in my life because my new next door neighbors have two large outside dogs (which are confined to a very small fence, and by small I mean like a prison cell would be considered a whole lot larger and would also be an upgrade) and all they do is bark during the day and howl at night about 10ft from my window, praise the Lord for the loud fans in my room. Well I'm off to bed, it's been a long day and I can do with some much needed rest right now.
Goodnight all you crazy and smelly furries :P

Making a new friend.
Posted 12 years agoThe one thing that I have found troublesome in the furry fandom is finding people close to where I live and the furries that do live sorta close have nothing in common with me. But just recently I have discovered (well he discovered me) a cool furry name Leviathan Shepard, me and him live not to far away from each other and have somethings in common (ex. We are both Christians and young). In closing I would just like to give his channel a quick shout out and I recommend that you, yes you, go check him out at

PS: And Levi if you read this, thanks for being such a good pal and I hope to go shoot some airsoft guns with you sometime in the near future because I know that on your Christmas wish list that you would like to meet another furry in real life, and I hope I can make that wish come true.

Current Life, Life Story, and Future Plans.
Posted 12 years ago !!!IMPORTANT!!!
Current Life, Life Story, and Future Plans
I just wanted to give a little insight on my life and the things that have been going on lately. First off I would just like to say that you the reader are aloud to draw my fursona, just please don't steal him or my design, and if you do draw him feel free to share it with other people and give me a heads up before or after. Ok now that is out of the way I would just like to thank all of the watches, favorites, page views, and comments that you, the reader, give me. The reason that I have not posted much is because of mainly four things. The first is of course school and all of the work I have to keep up, I am in my junior year of high-school and from what I have heard and also witness first hand, this is the hardest and also the most important year of high-school. The second is the lack of art supplies, not much explaining here except that I am still waiting for my aunt to take me to get some for a very late birthday present. The third reason is the lack of a work space, and I mean a lack of one, I will take a picture of the area that I do all of my traditional art drawing at, hopefully I will be able to find a solution to fix the issue. The forth and final reason is laziness, this one is on me and my fault, when ever I have the time to draw I just choose to not do anything with my free time.
Now that all of that is out of the way I would like to give some back story on my life before I was a furry, how I became one, and what it has brought to the table in my life.
LIFE BEFORE (contains religious views) - I was born on Oct 12, 1995........ just kidding we are not going back that far LOL. My life had always been a bit of a train wreck, my parents would always fight, me and my sister would always go to our bedroom, which we shared at the time, and I would cheer her up and also help her block out all of the commotion that was going on by drawing her pictures. Then one day, one of the fights escalated to the next level, and my dad just snapped and started to break things, at that point my mother told him to leave, he did and he went to his mothers house, we went to my mema's house (my grandma on my mothers side). We stayed there for about two weeks and at that same time my dad had made a pact with himself that he would change his life by any means necessary to bring our family back together. My grandpa on my dad side had always been a religious man, and by religious I mean that he is a Christian who goes to church and has been saved. My dad decided to start going to church and about a week into going he had decide that he needed to be saved and from that point he completely did a 180 and stop drinking, smoking, and partying. He talked to my mother for the first time in two weeks, my mother was surprised by what he did and he asked her if she would give him a second chance, she said yes. Soon after my mom was saved and so was my sister, that just left me the only non-saved person in our family. My mom and dad made a decision to not put me in public middle school, but to put me in a private school, I resisted at first, but knowing my parents that was not going to change their mind. I went to private school for the first time in the 6th grade, and about four months into the school year I came to the conclusion that I needed to be save, but I was to nervous to ask anyone at school or at church, so I did the next best thing and asked my dad. Me and my dad sat down by my bedside and on Nov. 9, 2008 I received the Lord Jesus Christ as my savior. From that point my mom, dad, sister, and I have lived a happy life together.
HOW I FOUND AND BECAME A FURRY - During the summer of 2011, I was doing what most nerdy teens do, and that is browsing the internet instead of hanging out with friends. I was on the AoTS (Attack of The Show) website for some reason and I saw this video that said "Attack of The Show - Furry Weekend Atlanta" and I had heard of furries before and I was one of those typical people that said that furries are just the people that dress up in suits and have sex, but out of curiosity I clicked on the video. My view was quickly changed and the one person I would give the most credit to is WolfPupTK because he pretty much summed it up in the video. After that I was hooked and I did not know any furries personally, so I did the next best thing and that was talk to them on the internet, but then I ran into the problem of where should I talk to them. That's when I stumbled onto the website Furnation, and then I ran into another issue and that was, what was my fursona. At this point I had only seen a few furries, so I decided to be a wolf and I came up with the most generic name ever, Wolf Fang. I stuck with that for nearly half a year, then I decided to change my fursona, but I did not know what to change him into, then I got an idea from the movie "The Lion King". My favorite characters in the movie are the three hyenas: Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed, so I changed my fursona from a wolf to a hyena, but I still needed a name. It was winter at that time and for some reason was really cold in my house and my jaw was shivering at the time, that's when the light bulb flash above my head and I came up with the name Shiver Jaw.
WHAT LIFE HAS BEEN LIKE AS A FURRY - Much of my life has not change although I tend to be more nice and kind to people. Now the one fear I had about being a furry was what my parents would say, so I never told them until about a week ago. A week ago our power went out, my dad was asleep and it was just my mom, sister, and me in the living room. My mom then told my sister to go to bed, so me and my mom stayed up a little longer. I have been wanting to tell my parents that I was a furry for nearly two years and here was my opportunity. Final after sitting in the living room for what seemed like an eternity, my mom ask me the question "what was I looking at on my phone" I showed her the furry art that I was looking at (which was my ref sheet). I then proceeded to ask her the question "do you know what a furry is", we then had a very nice conversation about furry stuff, and then she said something that surprised me, she said that she would "love" to go to a furry convention with me. After picking my shivering jaw off the floor I said goodnight and went to bed thinking how was I going to tell my dad, luckily my mom told him instead and he reacted very well.
There, that's my life story what more is there to say.
Now for my future plans.

Art Supplies! 0_0
Posted 12 years agoMy B-Day was a few weeks ago, and my aunt said that she would get me something when ever I decided what that something was. I was thinking about a pair of Jordans, but while taking a shower ( where most my good thinking comes from :3 ) the idea hit me that I should get some art supplies since I need some badly. So this weekend or the next weekend I should be getting some supplies from a little place called Michaels.
Starting to submit artwork!
Posted 12 years agoI'm going to keep it short and sweet for my first journal. I'm going to try to start drawing more and submitting it to FA in hopes that I can inspire someone and improve on my drawing skillz myself. Furries 4 life!
