:P If anyone cares, I updated my personal info on this site right here.

By the way... I have over a hundred watchers now. >.o which means I need to put some kind of writing out or else I'll just be watched for all the commissions I've had done lately!

Anyone want to help me with a due date?

http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/2497461/ Lookie! ChocolateKitsune is offering free art!

Hey all! a good friend of mine,  kitsunekitty , is currently in need of some funds, so she's asking me to spread her talent to the babyfur community!

she's very open about what she draws, and you can discuss what kind of ideas you'd like done with her. She's only done a few babyfur pictures before, but I feel she gets the feeling of cute, sweet and innocent off very nice. :3

here's a few links with examples of her work:

http://www.furaffinity.net/view/1952306/

Here's her current price list.

Sketches:

Busts: 7.00

Full: 12.00

Full with background: 17.00

CG:

Bust: 12.00

Full w/o background: 17.00

Full with Background: 25.00

Comic pages:

ink:15.00

Grayscale: 20.00

Color: 25.00

Any artwork commissioned from her should take about a week to complete, though she admits that she might take longer if she gets backed up with commission requests.

She takes payments through paypal only, and requests that she get paid first. she'll also show you the sketch before inking it to make sure you're satisfied with the purchase.

:P sorry this isn't related to my writing. I'll be sure to get some stuff worked on, though I can't promise anything for sure. darn school/work/life!

Once again, this journal is to help my friend,  kitsunekitty get some commissions. I think her work is awesome, and she can do a lot more than just babyfur work. ^.^ thanks a bunch.

I'll be honest here. I'm a staunch Democrat. I believe that progressive movements have always been the best provider for social liberty, and conservative movements have only provided deficits and fascism.

---

The people who are constantly bashing Obama are doing so on a basis for two years of efforts that have been constantly hampered by conservative efforts.

Obama COULD be a dick and simply block all Republican programs with the Democratic majority in Congress.

He HASN'T done this because he believes in bipartisanship and working together for the greater good, and he believes in this to a fault.

---

If people feel that Obama hasn't fulfilled all of his political promises, please recall the last President who was able to do so: James K. Polk, the 11th President of the USA. He managed to complete all of his political promises within one term, and right after he got out of office, he died from the effort. I think Obama knows that he needs to make himself last at least two terms to try to set things right in our nation.

---

I feel that the Tea Party-ers are a mix of hypocrisy and irony for their name sake. They match up almost exactly with the original revolutionaries of our nation:

-The major power structure (The British Government/The Bush Administration) does not enforce its policies on the people. The wealthy take advantage of this lack of power by bribing and threatening officials to make their own lives easier.

-The major power structure (the British Government/ The Obama Administration) starts to enforce its policies on a much stricter level than before. the wealthy (Yes, the Founding Fathers were great, but they were also rich. they owned large tracts of land, hundreds of slaves, etc. Between the British Royals, Themselves and the American population, you could consider the Founders the middle class of their day.) feel threatened by this new encroachment of power and make constant attempts to free themselves.

-Finding a group of people willing to fight with them, which make up a minority of the total population (The Revolutionary Army/The Tea Party), they use their wealth to endorse and supply under the banner of freedom, prosperity and liberty.

Regardless of the similarity here, the Founding Fathers eventually produced a system of government that would slowly but surely progress forward to include rights for women, children, ethnic minorities and people in general. From what I can tell from the advertisements, the Tea Party wishes to revoke those very same rights that generations of people have worked decades to secure, including the choices of women, LGBT people and the working class.

---

Democrats aren't stepping up to it, but there has been progress made in the past two years, including:
-Minor but Necessary Healthcare Reform (Again, severely hampered by Conservative ideals). You can now hope to get Healthcare even if you're already sick.
-Wall Street Reform
-Tax Breaks for the middle and lower classes
-The Closing of Guantanamo Bay
-Troops no longer being 'surged' into the Middle East and plans underway to remove combat troops entirely

---

Finally, I believe this video link provides the most succinct reasoning behind NOT voting Conservative.

I remember as well.

I won't say I'm the wisest, smartest or sharpest person in the world. I'm often naive and I tend to lack what people consider 'common sense'. However, looking back in history, progressive thoughts like personal liberty, equality among gender and ethnicity, and freedom of belief have brought positive changes to the many societies of the world, including ours.

In truth, all that I ask is that tomorrow, if you're a citizen of the USA and are able to vote with an educated opinion that isn't under the influence of mob mentality or religious conformity, an opinion that comes from YOUR understanding of the experiences you've dealt with in your life, please vote with those thoughts in mind.

Thank you very much; I promise I will try to avoid such political rants as much as possible in the future.

I'm soooooooo sorry. I promised a certain someone that i'd have a story posted by today but I had my first day of school and a lot of stuff kept coming up. its right around the corner, I promise. I just need to finish up the last few pages, have a few editors look it over, and I'll have it posted. i'm so sorry! i'm a lazy husky but I want to try my best for all my favers!

I've hurt someone very dear to me tonight. Dio, my online Mommy, someone who has been my figure of feminine affection for years now.

I won't go into details. I'm not going to make this into some online blog sob story, I just feel this needs to be stated.

I broke a promise with Dio. I have never broken a promise with anyone online before. Despite the accepted lackluster treatment of one person to another through the annonimity of the internet, I've tried to hold myself to a standard where my word could always be trusted with the people I know online, because that's the only true piece of value that exists in the web of me.

I broke my promise because I felt... felt something good would come out of it. I felt truth would make things better than secrecy. I do not mean to make an excuse for myself, however. I did something reprehensible, knowing that Dio would be hurt if I did so, and I do not wish to make it seem any better or any worse than what it is.

I still love Dio; I do not believe she still loves me. I fully accept that as the consequences of my actions.

For now... for now I will keep her pictures up in my gallery, as reminders of my love for her. She is still a dear dear friend to me, regardless of whether she is my Momma or not, or even if she despises me or not. I care for her health, and her happiness in life, even if it does not come from me.

I think, in the end, I expected too much of her, and at the same time I was quiet about things that I felt would only hurt her if I spoke to her about them. I am a weak, fallable person, but I continue to stand by my decision. I don't deserve to try to backtrack in hopes of regaining her love.

Dio, if you read this... feel however you wish to feel. I know we cannot be child and mother, not after what i've done. But I still consider you my friend, one of my dearest and closest. If we could give up our former relationship and just continue on as friends... I would consider myself blessed. I think, as friends, I could be a much better person to you.

We'll always have the fireplace.

Hey there everyone who's watching me! just wanted to let ya know that now that I have a new, super spiffy Gateway lappytoppy, i'll get right back to work on providing you with some semblance of a babyfur story, hopefully something that makes up for my general lack of material. ^.^;; wish me luck!

A dear friend of mine is attempting to petition the government for decent access to social security. If you're able to assist him, please do, for his sake and for the sake of all struggling peoples with poor physical conditions!

Ok, I'm thinking about going a little off beat with the normal commission standard. Instead of drawing artwork (which I have no skill whatsoever in doing), I was thinking that perhaps i'd over my typing skills instead.

I'm not expecting any money right now, since my current track record with writing continuous stories is completly null. In fact, I think i'll start off with doing stories for free, then work my way up to art trades, and then finally do paid commissions.

All I really need is a beginning, middle and end to the scenario you want me to write, whether you want it in the first, second or third person, and the names and basic details of any characters you want me to add.

If you're interested, send me a note with any information you can provide about the story you want, including the details mentioned above, and a nice solid due date. I know you might want to be kind and tell me that whenever I get it done is good, but that will just end up with a story that never gets finished. So please, look at your calenders and give me a specific date you want me to send it on.

This is as much for my own benefit as it is for the benefit of my fans. thank you all very much, and please be gentle with me. ^.^
