I am opening up my quiet little sphere of self now, and taking personal credit for my Blog on Blogspot. I am going to be using it as my primary means of communication with the outside world, and for letting everyone know what is going on in my life while overseas. I am likely not going to update here all to often (like that is a change) So go and check out

if you want to hear about my life and such. Right now it is all full of emo ranting, for the most part, but I promise in future it will be filled with happy and bubbly observations of Morocco and riding a train across the country. Yay!

The old journal was getting, well, old. So I thought I would update a little.

I have been doing a lot more drawing recently, more than i have been in the last two years, i think. That isn't saying too much, but, still, saying a lot when compared to the work load i have now days. I dunno. I think the art comes out strongest during times of stress, and though I am not unhappy, i am...stressed. There is so much going on all at once, all the time. and. A pause is good to have. a moment of mental peace. just a simple process of meditation. and that is what my work is, for me. painting. drawing. playing on the tablet. It is meditation. and I am getting a little more adept at this whole photoshop business, and so now i find that I don't get nearly as frustrated with my ignorance handi-caps.

Things are good in my life right now. really good.

I have new glasses!

I have not been putting up any artwork!

My brothers dog just got into every trash can in the house!

I just paid off a rather sizable chunk of loan!

I finished reading Anathem, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? and Pride and Prejudice all in a go. I rather like them in that same order. And I felt all three were very good and deserving books. Some of you know what that kind of praise from me means.

Anathem may very well get placed on my shelf of favorite books ever, along side Dun Cow and Watership Down. We will see...time will tell.

I have written more on one of my most favorite stories in last two days than I have in the last two years. I do not know if that is something to be proud of or ashamed of. It is nice to have a drive for such a thing.


and now my room is really hot and i cant think of anything else to do online, so i am going to leave. bye.

I hate writing papers.

As in, I really dislike writing papers for class. They just. Drag at me.

And I also felt it was time to update my deviant account, neh?

Three days behind. I can catch up. On the plus side, I did draw two pictures today. Once on a note to the people of Diversions Cafe, and another on the whiteboard in University...must work on non-doodles...
