Jafra

heya fluffbutts *smiles n waves* hope ya all are doing awesome ^ ^ I'm doing alright myself heh mostly :P

So still not smoking *wags* and to be honest I have no real cravings or anything. Now there are times like on a nice warm winter day I think to myself "man what beautiful smoking weather" and I can feel the desire flare up a bit but then I quickly start reminding myself of all the reasons why I wanted to quit and it subsides heh mostly but I'm still quit so that's what matters. just shy of 3.5 months now and my longest record before was 6 months so my main realistic goals 7 months ^ ^ I like to be reasonable. permanent is obviously an end result goal but since I've never reached that in the 19 years i smoked 7 is my main goal. baby steps and all.

Art stuffs been pretty good *wags* I've been pretty happy with what I've been putting out. I still consider myself a pretty new artist with only 2-3 years of sculpting experience now but I'm quite pleased seeing my own art getting better and more refined hee makes me all waggy n stuff ^ ^ I'm not sure if I've developed my own style yet but I'm thinking something like that might be more noticeable to someone other than myself, and I mean like when you see a pic and you just KNOW who drew it :P I dunno if that even happens with sculpting lol whatevah hehe Oh also I plan to do sculptures other then plainly furry clay pieces. a good example is my "fox logic" piece *wags* I have a few other neat ideas that are Bigger and most definitely "different" that I can't wait to be able to build n share *bounces* Hope you guys are cool with seeing them as well. May not be completely furry but will most likely be animal related at least ^ ^ Kinda nice to finally let my inner artist free. Only thing that really saddens me a lil is that I've been in furry for 13 years now and i can't help but wunder where would I be now if I had started right when I joined? woulda been another decade of experience :p aww well cest le vie. Always happy to hear what you guys think of my work so please feel free to share your thoughts on whatcha see.

Work itself has been okay though sadly I've been a lil sore last few weeks *whimpers* Neck n back mostly. I operate various vehicles n machinery and mostly in reverse. So after more then a decade of this it does take its toll. heh backrubs have a more heavenly sound to them then they use to for sure *snickers* Were starting to ramp back up already and I'm not really ready for busy season yet but get no choice in the matter but least since i been here so long I can see the huge wave coming and I can buckle down and prepare for it *grins* sorry for the obscure metaphor but it is pretty accurate :p Oh on the plus side though with the busy season also comes back my 12h shifts *bounces n wags* your like wha? why this fool happy about working 12's? I know right, but gotta see it from my P.O.V. on mon-fri 8h days i work 10 days every 2 weeks, where on 12h shifts i work 7 days every 2 weeks ^ ^ 3 extra days off every 2 weeks for a total of 7 O.O I know right *wags* And the cherry on top is I get paid quite a bit more *wags* like 20% ^ ^ so like i say YAY 12's *bounces*

Social life's been kinda slow though thats kinda by my choice >.< I just haven't felt like going out to do much really. I've been more then happy to lose myself in my art for the time being. I know the cold outside plays into it as well as my quitting smoking a bit (lil irritable at times >.>) but Really I've just felt I've needed a little bit of time to myself. Whatever this is I'm working through it and I plan to get out a lot more to see peeps n do stuff by spring at the latest. I'f I need time for whatever winter seems like a good time anyway with weather n gloomyness. And no I'm not depressed or anything just wanted time to myself *nods n wags*

Okie I stop wasting your time now :P Just wanted to throw out a lil update on this lil piece of fluff caught blowing in the wind *waves* toodles cuties *bounces off*

So 2012 didn't end as some had thought it might. It was an interesting year for sure and believe me there were many times throughout the year that I really did wish for 12-21-12 to be true heh. many ups n downs... sadly more downs this year then ups but I'm motivated now. I've been working on fixing n changing things in my life so that I can just maybe one day be able to say... I'm happy.

Now I've had happy moments sure but even in those times there was always something negative going on in my life. As far back as I can remember I've always had to be stressed out about something. It's just always been that way. But I'm patient and persistent. So I work on fixing aspects of my life now in the present so that it will be easier for me to be happy in the future. I'm a realist i guess. I can accept that there's only so much I can do to make the present different/better but the future, now that's filled with endless possibilities and potential and THAT excites n motivates me.

Some high n low lights of my year. sadly my long term (10 year) partner and I ended early in the year. were still living together and are still good friends so that's good. Since then I've kinda just taken time to myself really, working on my art n stuff. it does get lonely at times though. My family sadly needed a bunch of help this year as well. I'll always be there for them but it is tiring at times, but I'm hoping that a few big moves that I did with them should help them be more stable. I really need them to be so that I can move forward with my life. I guess for me one of my main highlights for the year has been my art ^ ^ I've put more time and effort into it and have changed and adapted as I've grown as an artist which makes me feel good. I've still got a lot to learn and try in the sculpting field but I'm looking forward to it.

The future. I long for the future, for change. I think were sitting on the brink of a lot of really big changes as a whole and I for one am excited. Would be nice to have someone here for it though. you can only get so excited about the future when your alone for it. heh I could really use a knight n shining armor :P just saying.

Enough of my babbling though. I wish you all a very happy new year and I hope you all have a better year then last ^ ^ also I want to thank all of you following my work, it truly means a lot to me. I know without people showing some interest in what I do that I would have lost the motivation already so thank you *hugs*

Jafra the wohofubuchip

So tell me, whats the next pose you want me to put my lil wohofubuchip in for his next sculpture? These are the two I've done so far with a third already started.

first http://www.furaffinity.net/view/6690145/ Jafra n penguin

second http://www.furaffinity.net/view/8819790/ Jafra in the tub

third is going to be me on all fours ^ ^ cause I wanna see it :P

fourth + ???

but looking for other ideas. My wohofubuchip will be a recurring character throughout my sculpting career cause hes my own special creation and has never got the attention he deserved for being around as long as he has and being as unique as he is *grins* but now that I make my own art I can fix that ^ ^ So yeah please if any of ya fluffs ever have an idea for me of a sculpture that ya would like to see the 'fubuchip in lemme know kay. thanks n toodles

Truly wish each and everyone one of you the best over your holidays. I know it can be quite trying at times but it's still always felt like a special time of the year. *wags n bounces*

Mine this year was interesting I guess, but then again it usually is. My immediate family is just my mother and younger bro but were a tight family. Struggled a bit growing up but we've always had each others backs as best we could. But the interesting part really is the size of our family get togethers. ya see my mother had 2 brothers... and 9 sisters >.< I know right, wtf lol. anyways those 12 siblings popped out an average of 3-4 kids... each. so yeah clearly my family's not really big on birth control of ANY kind. So 12 aunts n uncles and ruffly 57 first cousins. oh and it gets better still *snickers* so myself and my cousins are all in or around 30ish now as well so they've (I've chosen to help lower our numbers :P) all gotten married and started to pop out more of our line >.< and AI don't even know them all anymore or how many there is and believe it or not it gets better even still. most of the aunts n uncles never left the province so most of this groups is relatively close by. *pants* sorry that was my very long way of trying to say ya just never know how big a gathering will be. luckily this year only bout 30-35 ^ ^ so manageable lol

wasn't too bad this year. only one big argument, dozen spilled beers on lower level (peeps split into smaller groups) 10+ people bitten/scratched from the 7 animals that HAD to visit as well >.> only two kids this year ^ ^ *bounces n wags* that was kinda awesome. Minimal anti gay comments... and I only wanted to hit 2 aunts heh but was same to that i always want to, heh fucking alcoholics >.<

over all not to bad but I'd still rather spend it with just my ma n bro or even alone but thats me.

Merry Christmas sweeties and remember the world didn't end so make the most of your future

so yeah still not smoking and i think I'm around 8 weeks or so. I've been doing it patchless now for maybe 5 days and it's been pretty ruff. I'm finding myself to be pretty volatile and easy to set off. mood swings are a a bitch atm. heh I REALLY hope this passes quickly cause I just bout jumped across the counter at the guy who made my burrito >.< and it's a good thing i drive alone cause no one can hear me screaming at the other cars heh. I'm done work for the year now at least so that should help calm me but it's also family holiday time which is always crazy.

It'll be an interesting week I'm sure heh well unless everything ends cause like then... whatever right.

p.s. If the world does actually start to end that may just cave and have a smoke lol

Happy holidays cuties

hehe so I've been a lil quiet on the updates but no I didn't fall off the wagon or anything no worries ^ ^ I believe tomorrow will by my sixth week now and the end of my second week of the bottom level for the patches i use. The beginning of the bottom patch level took a wee bit to get use to *snickers* I found myself constantly checking to make sure that it was actually still on. Even that's gotten less though so that's good. Now my next plan goes like this, I've got 3 patches left then I'm going to attempt to stop them there. that's 4 weeks on lv 2 then two weeks on last lv, well actually 2.5 cause of not switching them right at the same time :P Now I am hoping I won't need any more assistance but I am prepared to buy more and continue the last lv if need be, whatever it takes this time. i will not fail *nods n wags*

So I was finally lucky enough to snag a weasyl account thanks to the sweet  hunterwolf thanks again hun *wags n snugs* You can find me there under Jafra and i'll start to post my new art there as well now but this is still the best place for anything to do with this lil bouncy wohofubuchip *yips n wags* Blark!!

gah, so right in the middle of my two weeks of night shift at work i find out I'm not permitted to work my Sunday night shift because my boss had let myself and 6 others train driving license lapse >.< awesome. So now I'm expected to come in for an emergency re-training Monday morning for 8 hours, best part is I'm still expected to be back on my reg shift that night O.o really dude? so just worked a week of 11pm-7am, Monday i do training 8am-4pm then leave only to come back 7h later to work a night shift that night. erf my sleep pattern is gunna be all kinds of fucked up lol good times.

On a plus note though it's now been bout 2.5 weeks for quitting smoking and things have leveled off a bit ^ ^ so thats good. i still have an occasional moody day but least is not EVERY day *wags* works for me. no one needs a moody fubuchip :P also cravings have been pretty non-existent thus far but i honestly think it's cause this was what i wanted to do. heh though I am eating a lil more >.< snacks n stuff. can't let that get out of control. don't wanna be one of the peeps that like gains 20lb quitting smoking hehe gotta maintain my foxy figure *yips n wags*

okay so will be first week done of quitting smoking by the time i crash in a few hours. This week has sucked *nods* being sick has just added lots to the whole experience so far, fun times >.> right.

It's been up n down with cravings as i expected. Really should have stopped when i wasn't on day shift though i realized. At work on breaks was/is one of my biggest concerns because that's all i did for my breaks. run out, quick smoke, back to work. It's all i really have time for, but now i find myself simply working through them. if i was on afts or nights I'd simply sit in my office n read for like 10-15 min then go back but days is tricky. even though i could be on a legit break it just looks bad if a boss walks by and I'm reading in my office and the break rooms too far for the break length i take. But once off of days it's cool, many less bosses around. I still haven't caved though, for now i just been doing coffee runs for a break *nods* i will not cave.

Oh don't think i mentioned it either but I'm using the nic patches. Now sadly I had to skip the first step patches since last time i tried to quit the first step gave me a nicotine overdose just bout everyday for a week and a half before i figured what the problem was. took so long because I wouldn't get violently ill till 4-5 hours after changing a patch and most those times were after i Had gone to bed. The fact I woke up to being sick and a few other things I started ruffly around the same time delayed me figuring it out a bit but i did and so this time imma just skip that step heh. think i'll just double the length of step 2 instead. problem is skipping that step means it's soo much harder initially and i really do feel it. I'm having mood swings like you wouldn't believe >.< knuckles have been sore all week >.> I'll have to treat my poor filling cabinet to dinner when this is over lol

The cold weather is coming so I am glad I won't be out smoking for it. Thats really MY main prob with smoking. fuck if i lived somewhere warm I honestly prolly wouldn't have quit, but i don't so i am :P

So week one is done and it has been shitty lol I almost wrote "not to bad" but no point lying. I am trying to be a bit antisocial just for now because I know it really wouldn't take much for me to snap at someone and take my frustration out on them. It's happening at work a bit but I'm fine with it there. my work n social lives are not connected in the least and the people I'm snapping at at work deserve it anyway so meh, but don't wanna snap at friends, so please just give me a lil time to adjust.

Also haven't gotten too much sculpting done this week but thats okay, i could use a lil break anyway. still getting little things done on current project but just haven't felt productive but that'll change as this whole adventure progresses i imagine.

anyway imma just wrap the update up here cause I'm tired. foxy out

Yeah I've tried to quit before but failed. This is the time I want it to work. I'm doing it for me. I'm having a difficult time though for some reason and I dunno why. I was close to fighting at work this morn. I dunno if it's related to quitting but I can't ignore the timing. From the times I tried to quit before I do know I become more agitated but on my defense the guys a lazy stump that does what he can get away with so fuck em I don't feel bad.

This time around since I'm using my FA more I'm thinking of keeping a lil journal record as it goes heh so this should be interesting. See I've smoked a long time. lets see.. 19-20 years. I know right WTF. I hang out with people barely older then that at times. Anyway my point is because it has been a long time it makes it that much more difficult to quit but i will. I find it more an annoyance now and I'm tired of feeling like a second rate citizen because of it. Yeah judge me negatively because i smoke, forget the fact I'm a kind gentle lil fluff that would sacrifice myself to make the lives of those i care about and those i come in contact with better with out a thought. to those that judged me poorly or made hurtful or snide remarks about me smoking do not try to be pleasant n social to me if I do quit, seriously. If you honestly think saying "eww you smell like smoke" to a smoker isn't hurtful to them then your just an idiot. I imagine it wouldn't be much different then telling a fat person their fat or an ugly person their ugly. They probably are aware of that and may even be taking steps to do something about it since there is more a health kick now a days. Point is it's simply rude n ignorant to point it out. Anyway, since society as a whole still can't learn to be tolerant and accepting of each other despite our misgivings n faults I will be trying to quit again to "fit in" better.

This is day 2... wohofubuchip out

heya again hehe so I'm a lil behind it seems. Curious if any would happen to have an invite to the weasyl site thingy? I usually wouldn't ask for things but if this is going to be a new art site i can post to I wouldn't mind getting in early *snickers* since I'm usually quite late to stuff like that. heh anyway thought I'd give a poke n try. thanks either way fluffs *hugs for all who want em*

*whimpers* been feeling like crap for over a week now and I'm so done with it. please let me be better soon. it's only a cold thingy but it's left me drained and prolly because this started on the tail end of a nausea tummy thing i had just before so it's been a ruff month *sniffs* and most my time off the month before was spent moving all my familys stuff using only my younger bro and my car. heh we did it all which is why it took so long. so yeah last two months have been such a drain. sorry for not being around much peeps.

really hoping this will level n mellow out for me soon, kinda sucks it'll be right n fall/winter but whatever I'll take it at this point lol

Oh and any locals up for a big snowball fight some time this winter? *wagwag* been ages hehe

So feral begins tomorrow finally *bounces n wags* so which of ya on my follow list am i gunna get to see there? and to the rest of ya totally come up next year. cheap con and loads of fun ^ ^ I've gone like 10-12 times since i've joined furry hehe so thats gotta say something :P well hope to catch some of ya there *wags n bounces off* blark blark!

So I do like to be a lil different at times as ya may be able to tell from my species (wohofubuchip) and even my art choice (sculpting) well this journal will describe one of the ways i help stay sane and amused. *grins* well a fubuchip's version of sane at least *twitches*

Okay so i like to use the alternate universe theory to my advantage for everyday things. yeah is weird i know, i don't really believe in it but I'm not one to ever rule anything out. life is so much more interesting if you consider or put some thought into some of the theory's and just think, well what if? aliens, ghost, alternate universe, vamps werewolves, doomsday theory's sign me up for all of it. i would totally be an alien slave if it meant I'd actually see them and maybe even travel the galaxy. *snickers* yeah i know i totally got way off topic :P

back to the alternate universe thing. imagine your driving home tired from work just wanting to get home to rest n eat or what ever. the guy in front is driving slow as s$#T or like an ass, well using the theory that every choice we make has a universe where it happens you can just imagine the nasty thing ya would want to do to him (smash into his car etc.) then because you've thought of it that some where out there in one of those universe's you actually did it, you snapped and really did what you wanted. ^ ^ then you can simply drive behind him grinning at him smugly at what you had done to other him. bitch! that's what you get when you mess with a wohofubuchip

Thank you, hope you have enjoyed your glimpse into my thinking *twitches* why are all the walls padded? mommy? hello?

heya fluffs, so i'll be working on making some pendants to sell at feral for $20 each. These will mainly be some cool/neat color schemes n designs that i choose. Now if you know you'll be at feral and would like one contact me here if you want something specific. I'd be happy to do up a few custom ones. Also i think i'm only going to plan to have bout 10-20 of the pendants ready i hope. wanna reserve one just send me a poke. fubuchip out ^ ^

morning fluff balls *nuzzles all who wish* so like i said what's in a dream? is there really anything to them? i ask this because it's actually the only reason that i do any sculpting now.

years back i had a dream about soo many different furry character figurines which i thought at the time to be a wonderful idea. When i awoke from that dream i quickly jotted the idea down since it felt like something I wished to act on, which i did. The first version of my acting on my dream was to research then commission a company in China to create then mass produce me 6" figurines of 4 figurines i choose based mainly off their popularity at the time which I named Fursuit Figurines. This first furry business attempt ended up being a spectacular failure, like omg lol. This really was a surprise to me because i really thought my brain baby (idea) was a really good one and hadn't been done in furry yet. But after quickly decreasing sales and a lot of feed back i realized my error. Very few people want something of someone elses character. *nods* fair enough, i can understand that.

I've always been fine with throwing money away to try new hobbies n such. I've drawn in the past and dabbled in leather crafting kinda for a bit so why not try sculpting right? *snickers* for anyone paying attention to my work i number all my pieces and my first posted piece was #2. Reason for that was that #1 was my wohofubuchip character Jafra but you see I'm completely self taught in my sculpting >.> so umm i used the wrong clay which i didn't realize till i went to bake the first completed piece and his ankles weakened and fell foreword and his face sadly melted flat, this was all within 5 min to. I pulled him out n have saved him as he is. (pics in time)

But I learn and I adapt and with each piece i do i know I've gotten better. I've changed clay a few times, i use intricate skeletal structures now for support. I've researched tons. my tool collection has grown a great deal as well as my work area, and this all makes me happy. I didn't realize i needed this, needed to be able to pour myself into something.

So I taught myself sculpting to be able to give people what they wanted, their own characters. And I think I'm doing OK no? heh and since my first business kinda went belly up i actually have the stock to be able to give a thank you gift of my 4 fursuit figurines set with a character commission ^ ^ i think that's cool, like a bonus right?

So yeah that's kinda my sculpting existence in a nut shell, a simple dream lead from one thing to another to the present and I'm quite pleased with where it ended because i enjoy it very much. Brings me a kind of calm. but this journal is already way longer then i expected and is prolly not even going to be read so I'll just stop here *snickers n scampers off* fubuchip out

Nothing gets the heart pumping like just bout dying. Was just coming back from the furry Canada day party and was on 401 going bout 120kph and 3 or so car lengths behind a truck when to my horror a fucking sofa comes over the top and bounces right in front of my car. Thank god i was paying attention cause if i hadn't been i woulda took that thing threw the windshield and luckily the cars behind me were to but fuck me my heart still racing. i had some fantastically creative words for him as i went past him. he never even stopped. *pants n falls over*

hehe up yet again in the fursuit tourney thing, and getting a beating marf. check it out here http://fursuittourney.livejournal.com/138141.html

so looks like i'm up again right now in that tourney, check it out here http://fursuittourney.livejournal.com/136202.html

So I've felt a bit off recently, kinda lonely i think. I'm usually a fairly quiet lil fluff but been missing companionship. things have been a bit ruff as of late but i'm a trooper and i'll get by. I just wish life would show me which path i'm spose to take. I've been waiting for the light at the end of the tunnel but it just goes on forever it seems. so i just lower my head n carve away. the light will show one day i'm sure
