Started drawing again. Gonna start doing stuff. Soon. Maybe. I dunno. If I can stop drinking. watch me on deviantart. WolfKingVicious is the name. I'm leaving here. See ya.

So I'm back from Afghanistan. I'm still trying to get my other profile (that I'm replacing this one with) hell, I'm still trying to get my whole LIFE up and running again. But if you still have any interest in me or my work, go watch my new page, as this profile is going away soon, you can find me here:  WolfKingVicious, thanks for all the watches and appreciation you guys have shown me, now I'm moving on and starting something new. Don't worry, I'll upload my old work to the new profile as well. Take care all.

Moving on to something else. I've completed a chapter in my life that I thought would be the last, and I'm still around. Now, I'm deploying to Afghanistan, and I won't be back till April of next year at least, and it'll be another chapter, in a new book.

TheWolfandtheRose meant something, but it meant something I've grown to hate out of necessity, and in order to survive and thrive, I've changed again, some might say for the worse, I'm not the kind, sympathetic gentle soul I was, but I am who I was, before I met... a certain someone who tried to tame me ad ended up betraying me. I am what my old friend called me all those years ago, when I was young and quick and full of promise, and I take that title once more: King Vicious, of Wolves and Violence, find me here:  WolfKingVicious. I'll start updating the new profile soon enough, hopefully you guys follow it before I delete this one, there's so many things I'd like to show the world when I come back. I plan on drawing alot, hopefully I can the find the time. Good luck to you all, and hopefully, I'll see you all when I get back.

Holy shit, has everyone seen this?!?!? God, I feel like I'm late to the party and everyone has already seen this but... HOLY FUCKING SHIT HAS ABSOLUTELY EVERYONE SEEN THIS!??!?! GO SEE THIS!!!! I just discovered this now and... it's like the saddest, cutest, most adorable thing on the internet... Where has this been my whole life? Damn, this shit is awesome. Expect to see some Katia Managan art on here soon... I just added an entire new obsession to let my imagination toy with.

Anyway, if you haven't seen it yet, do so RIGHT FUCKING MEOW

Awwwwww. Maybe it's a metalhead thing, but damn if that isn't cute as fuck. A little wolf puppy and raven together on the front, with the band name, and the logo on the back, with the words "our kin is different." Sometimes... I wish I had pups of my own... so I could buy them stuff like this...

A time for people to enjoy being a part of humanity, and spend time with their loved ones, and enjoy the wonderful plethora of warm emotions and feelings that come with living. At least... everyone but me can. I have no family, or mate, or friends for that matter. All I had was my Sol-Leks. And she's been dead for years. My dogs, I no longer have dogs. My many females... all gone, abandoned me when I got boring, and moved on to find a new toy. My family... I don't speak to them anymore, haven't for a long time, was never close to them. My brother Marines... I don't think I've said more than 5 words at a time to any of them, and certainly not made idle conversation. What I'm saying is, enjoy your holidays. Enjoy your time and memories spent with the people you love. Treasure every moment. Be thankful. You could be me. Alone in a world I have no love for. You could be alone, with no one there to hold you and stroke you and whisper warm thoughts to. But you're not, you have so much more. Love it. Cherish it. Treasure it. Make every second count. Love those who love you. Have a merry Christmas. I wish you all the best.

I just saw them! Last night!!! In Hollywood at the Whiskey-A-Go-Go! Oh God, it was fucking awesome... I'll be coasting for days on the massive dose of metal and awesome that they infused me with... *breathes slowly* Damn... That... Was one of the high points of my life... I'm going to be drawing a lot of stuff inspired by Sonata Arctica lyrics now... Especially since I just got a new graphics tablet... Oh man. You should've been there... It was awesome. Such power. Such beauty. Such feeling. So touching. It's things like this that I live for... Anyway world didn't end. Tony Kakko and Sonata Arctica are incredible, and I'm so hungover, I'm going to bed. That is all.

Well, you found it! This is my new profile, the old one  Simply_Ghastly is going away. So, if you read that last journal, and found yourself here, and would LIKE to continue supporting my work (which I would, of course, appreciate) feel free to watch the new profile and forget about the old one. All old submissions and works will be re-uploaded here, as well as any new pieces I create. Thanks for your support, and I look forward to sharing new things with everyone here.
