It was good to catch up with the guys, even though most of the work was done while I was driving for 4 hours. I remember signing off on his Tenderfoot and Second Class requirements just a few years ago. It'll be fun to see everyone from the troop on the last meeting before their winter break begins - as an assistant scoutmaster (so weird).
Mom's house was just relaxing because I didn't get to sit down until now. First I helped with some yard work, then left for errands, set up the tree (with its evil, tangled lights), put lights on the roof, and helped cook dinner. I haven't gotten to cook anything more than boiled water since Thanksgiving; it's quickly becoming one of those "only at home" experiences. We just finished baking sugar cookies- its my turn to frost them.
Enjoy the holidays!

There was good food, good times with the family, and I wasn't attached to the computer due to homework. Not only that, but I found some pictures and artwork that I thought I had lost last summer. The up-loader between this website and my computer still stinks, but all of the pics I want should eventually trickle here. I also need to find a scanner of some sort since I have some artwork, but no digital back up. But anyways, all is well and I can only hope that this good luck continues through the final exams and into the Christmas Break.

There were also many college students who attended. During and after seminars throughout the day, people would talk about these 'new' techniques and what they knew from their experiences. It was in the middle of one of these discussions that one of the older teachers turned to me and asked, "So what do you teach?" I'm only a freshman in college, but I really like the sound of that. I think it is something I could get used to, even if I decide to teach something else (i.e. history or science).
Anyways, about the art. I can't get any pictures, drawings, or writings onto the website. It will try to load the image or text, and then never stop loading. They're not big files and my computer is in good condition, so I am left very confused. Has anyone else had this particular problem? I don't understand what's going on...

]]> ~980256 http://980256.deviantart.com/journal/27642538/ http://980256.deviantart.com/journal/27642538/ Wed, 07 Oct 2009 22:01:36 PDT My first semester of college is already halfway over. Midterms are being finished today and tomorrow, big projects are frantically completed (not me, ha! yay self-schedule!), and everyone is ready to vanish for the long weekend. It's only a three hour drive back home, but I will have to drop off my room mate and his girlfriend along the way- that's okay though, because that means gas money.
School has been busy. They say college is the next step up, but I guess you don't realize it until it's too late. I like all my classes- rhetoric (english), ancient history, sociology, wetland ecology, and (for the required seminar class) mexican-american inter-border cultures. Service hours are mandatory, but there are so many organizations around that it really won't be a problem. The state of Virginia apparently does not offer a major in education/teaching, but I can aim for a Master's degree in a 5 year program. Now I just need to choose a major that will correspond to what I will teach. Social Studies allows for the most opportunity and flexibility, but Science is interesting and I'm good at English/Literature as well. As long as it isn't too heavy in math, I'll be a happy person. Stats is probably as far as I go.
I have realized yet again that I am not the best with computers. I'm still not completely used to my new laptop, and I still need to transfer my old files and pictures to this one. Knock on wood or something so it'll work. Whether it's the internet provider at the school or the laptop itself, submitting pictures to deviant is temperamental at best. Sometimes it works, and other times it'll stay in the uploading sequence forever. Maybe I'll have better luck at home.
Until next time....
PS: I finally discovered the photo dump website "snap-fish", which for months I had confused the name for as fish-bucket (mixing the name with "photo-bucket"). Oops...

I met my two room mates (for at least the next semester) and pretty soon we all need to go to the 'welcoming' event. Tomorrow I need to register my car to receive a parking space; as well as purchase all of my books. Classes start within the next few days. All I can think is... holy crap.

]]> ~980256 http://980256.deviantart.com/journal/26179256/ http://980256.deviantart.com/journal/26179256/ Sat, 25 Jul 2009 21:24:06 PDT I finally was able to put some pics here through the old computer. It's old and incredibly slower now that the pictures are onto it; so I need to download them all onto discs and then delete them off of the old computer. That way I can upload the pics form my other memory card and put them here too while still using a somewhat respondent computer (then repeat). Perhaps I should save up for an external hard drive? I have this, "friend of a friend who knows this guy", who built his own computer from warehouse parts and it has around 5 terabytes onto it. I'm not too sure exactly what that amounts to; just that it's A LOT of available memory. Needless to say, his online games must not lag at all.
Anyways, I haven't been able to use my new laptop for the pics. It won't let me use i-photo, as well as some of the other programs that came with the computer. I think I need to uninstall and then re-install the programs. Maybe something went wrong during the initial uploading? I feel somewhat reluctant to ask the customer service guys at the Apple store; not only do I think they'll charge me (the price tags of their items support my theory) but I'm a man damn it! Apparently we have some drive to do everything ourselves despite the possible consequences (I have gotten lost this way many times already).
I can't really sleep tonight, for some reason or other. I just feel the need to write or read, but not stay still for more than a few moments at a time. It's almost an 'itching' sensation just underneath the skin. I probably look silly walking around in circles, holding the computer, and typing in my underwear during the earliest hours of the morning. I should go out somewhere tomorrow.
Just to be even more random; I watched 'The Knowing' today. Watching the movie was a lot like reading 'The Scarlet Letter' by Nathaniel Hawthorne- in that the "subtle" hints in the early part of the movie (and later) spelled out the rest of the plot. I guess it goes along with the theme of "it's ALL already spelled out". Overall it was good though- creepy and weird- but good. I liked the score a lot. I think mom just rented it because it has Nicolas Cage; he seems to be in a lot of weird movies like that.

I'll probably upload some stuff through the old computer again, just so I can do something. It's a pain not being able to do anything. It'll show up over the weekend.

]]> ~980256 http://980256.deviantart.com/journal/25403238/ http://980256.deviantart.com/journal/25403238/ Thu, 18 Jun 2009 20:25:41 PDT After that the summer (for me) rushes by. I do a school orientation once I get back and by the end of that it's July. I'll have some sort of job that month (as well as getting all of my vaccinations done and all wisdom teeth pulled- all equally fun things to do); probobly more construction, etc. I'll be volunteering in Dungannon again in August, but by the 18th I will have reported to my University and classes will start.
Between all of this I hope to continue a role in Scouts. Now that I've aged out of being a Boy Scout, I plan on signing up to be a Scoutmaster- that'll surprise my friends still in the program. Let the summer commense!

]]> ~980256 http://980256.deviantart.com/journal/25232254/ http://980256.deviantart.com/journal/25232254/ Wed, 10 Jun 2009 09:22:16 PDT I don't have to do the final exam packet for Geosystems because I did a final project instead. My topic was topography, which was great because I usually assist teaching scouts that anyways. The government final wasn't perfect, but is over with. I think I will really miss my crazy right-wing teacher. The philosophy final was the best though. 100%. It was followed by Halo for the rest of the period. All that's left for today (school-wise) is a lot of studying for the PreCalc final tommorrow (shudder). I don't think I'll do well, but at least I tried my best, right?...
Anyways, I'm using the rest of 5th period to catch up everywhere online and study PreCalc. Everyone else is either asleep, surfing the web, or playing flash games. Everything is winding down; next week is the graduation proposal. I can't believe that by next... Thursday... I will no longer be in high school. After that my visits here will be sporadic between a job (hopefully), Dungannon, the beach, and California. I'm visiting my college for orientation in the end of June and I'll return for the semester on Aug. 18.
Oh, and I got to vote yesterday! It's my second time, but there's a lot more hype for the state-wide elections. My choice didn't win (again), but I suppose that a moderate in-office is better for everyone. I guess I'll be voting for Deeds in the fall?

Finals for me start as early as next week, graduation is June 18, and then I have until August 18 to work through/enjoy my last summer before college. Yay?
The computer graphics course I'm taking this year has helped a lot; although I still need to practice more before displaying any affected photos here. Until then I continue to have fun playing around with the programs. Any changes made will be listed on future posted items.
Hopefully I will be able to post more before the end of June. I won't be near a computer between June 19-28th, and probably August 1-8th as well. There had better be some good pictures from Yosemite though, or I'll be really pissed at myself. I also need to keep good track of my memory cards; unless I want to loose 400 pics like last summer. I'd strangle myself if that happened again...
On that happy note, see ya!

A few days ago I was getting yellow paint from the dispenser. It wouldn't come out so I thought, "well I'll just push harder". I can't wear that shirt anymore. I'll try to upload some of the things that I did in art, but the teachers keep on trying to steal them away.
Some of the new pictures are of better quality but in return my computer is dead-slow. At this rate I will have to get an external hard drive, or transfer them to a series of disks. I'm still getting used to the manual focus though so be patient.

Hopfully I will update again before June 18. Until then!

The weather for the last few days has really lightened the mood. Spring break has also been a chance to get outside for awhile. Even though it's been to work, it's nice to use my limbs rather than have them dangle at the sides of a desk. Speaking of lightness, the 3rd quarter wrapped up a horde of projects and papers. I also got an acceptance letter. Everyone says they can physically see a weight lifted off my shoulders. I'm just glad to have that part done with, and now it's time to focus on scholarships. Did you know that there was one for descendants of veterans from the American Revolution and Civil War? I sure didn't, but now I'm preparing to send letters to every place possible.

With spring comes the regular tradition of cleaning. I didn't realize how much stuff I posted. At some point in the future I'll at least organize them into folders. I'll also post some new pics, as well as another written piece if I can find it. In the meantime I'll be pulling weeds; I spent last week in the front and backyard, yesterday building a slate patio, and tomorrow (if it doesn't rain) trimming and weeding the sides. Mom's house is transitioning from a beat-up foreclosure sale into a good, clean, and settled home.

Work at my godfather's house was interesting as well. I didn't get to tear down walls and replace windows like last summer, but it is still cool to see all of the 'green' stuff installed. When we visited a Home & Garden Expo in Dulles a few weeks ago, he knew a fair amount of the businesses there. Due to his new job though, he couldn't pick me up this time. My first day driving in rush-hour traffic with a stick behind an 18-wheeler from Texas going uphill to Arlington and back was not the most fun adventure, but it was a learning experience (I also have lots of quarters from the toll roads).

]]> ~980256 http://980256.deviantart.com/journal/23456712/ http://980256.deviantart.com/journal/23456712/ Sat, 28 Feb 2009 18:35:20 PST In a strange turn of events, my english teacher has assigned us an art project. It has to be in 3-D and fit completely on our desks. I have recieved the oppertunity to interperate Lucifer trapped in the frozen lake of Cocytus. Nothing says fun more than eternal damnation as described by Dante. Lucifer will be made primarily out of paper mache and tape; the rest I don't know yet. I might post the hand while it's still in its clear packing tape form (of evil).
I think I've said this already, but it was such a great decision for me I'll say it again. To releave some stress I decided to use my electives for an art class. Since they're both right after PreCalculus (an evil combination of trig and calc) they have really helped. Just working with my hands on something is relaxing, and since I also took Computer graphics I'm learning how to use some different programs as well.
Hope this mood keeps up! (unlike the bipolar weather)

]]> ~980256 http://980256.deviantart.com/journal/23402713/ http://980256.deviantart.com/journal/23402713/ Wed, 25 Feb 2009 16:38:28 PST There have been a couple of good campouts, and there are some friendly stray cats that pass by my mom's house every so often. The pictures probobly will come from there since my school is at the bottom of a hill; making it difficult to take pictures of the sunrise. The weather here keeps changing from fair to miserably windy and below 0, which is pretty unusual.
Anyways, my laptop is broken. It will no longer charge and it's supposedly not the battery's fault; leaving me confused and not tech-savy.I'm just glad that the info (including my pictures) is safe and can be transferred to a new one that I'm trying to save up for by the summer. Lacking a personal computer forces me to send everything I do to myself through e-mails. It's okay with me except that the librarians at school keep thinking I'm abusing their computers until I show them the mail. Being on the computer more often is allowing me to catch up here. It's great and good to hear how everyone's doing.

I'm in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Tonight will perhaps be the last night with non-dehydrated food, actual toilets (and the paper that accompanies it), and other luxeries. Right now I'm also watching the dive teams in the Beijing Olympics (sorry Russia; way to go China!). I'll be far away from any "technology" other than my camera in Philmont, New Mexico for the next 2 weeks. Hear from you then!

The most important things will probably be the results from my SAT tests and any (hopefully) upcoming acceptance letters from prospective colleges. Speaking of which, if any of you attend some of the colleges around where I live (Virginia), please tell me about them. As good as the tours and school websites are, input from the students are much more personal and less marketing-driven.

Enjoy the summer (winter, or however it works)!

PS: On a personal note, some of my friends have finally convinced me to create a Facebook profile. I’ll try to check on it every once in a while as well, but we’ll see how the season goes. I think this is how you get to me:

Everyone's rushing to complete all of the classes before the testing period begins (in May), and like everyone else I've been cought up in the rush- bleh! Luckily I'm finally free for tonight so I can catch up with the tons of mail and hopefully clean up the gallery a bit. It's nice to have some down time every once in a while.

For the past few weeks my dad has had me take Melotonin every night before going to bed. It is very effective and its influence has obviously been seen through my improving rades and ability to fall asleep. However I often find myself asleep before midnight which was when I did most of my work here. Lately my butt has been almost pemanantly attached to a chair for homework. Hopefully the upcoming spring break will prove to be much more free than the usual projects that come with it imply, and I will actually have the time to respond to the many deviations and messages as well as to simply sit and relax. I hope to write another journal while on my choir trip in NYC.

Back here at home it is about 12:20AM on Dec. 25. Yes, it is finially Christmas where I am and I'm still patiently waiting for Santa to come down the (gas) chimney - my camera and I are ready and waiting. For those who celebrate Christmas, yay; and for those who don't, yay and welcome to the party. I'm getting to that painting I mentioned last time and I hope to be finished before January of the new 2008. Once again, happy holidays and new year, and I hope to post again around this time next year.
See ya then!

Anyways I'm sorry it has been taking so long to respond to all of the comments and deviations, but again the same reasons araise- it's not as if this is my buisiest time of the year, it's just that it caught me by surprise (BAM!

~> List ten things that are interesting about you and/or your art and put it into your journal.
~> Then choose 6 other deviants to tag so they can do this too.
~> Put them into the journal so that they get informed that they've been tagged (better if you post it in their profile as a comment-)
~> You can't tag the person who tagged you

Here are the vict-... great artists:

<atttycake>





And here are my 10 facts:
- I have never taken an art class since 5th grade...but I really should...
- I have been in choir since 4th grade; this is how I met Handel, Bach, Schubert, and others...
- I use a Pentax Optio W20...my first and so far only camera...
- Because my grandpa had an gigantic garden (larger than his house was) I have grown to love plants and flowers...
- My dad is an Army officer (Lt.Col.), so I haved moved a lot and get to travel as well (fun)...
- My time in the Boy Scouts has helped me realize my love of nature and the outdoors; you say the word, and I'll dash off to that 20+ mile day hike you mentioned...
- The first time I went on a hike, I fell off a small cliff into a lake... and the leeches inside were happy to see me...
- I never watched actual television (not tapes ands recordings) until I was 9; my family was overseas so I got quite a variaty- news, sports news, history & discovery channel, and American shows from the late 40's to early 80's (Tin-Tin, Andy-Griffith Show, etc) - there were also no commercials...
- I have lived in (cronological order) West Germany, Georgia (US), N. Carolina, California, Virginia, and Japan
- I have visited East Germany, Chezch Republic, France, Italy, Austria, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, Belgium, Luxemburg, China, Canada, and soon to be Morocco

However, that only means that it must come to an end; it did just that with my first day of school. Towards the beginning of today I at least had hopes of being in a [slightly] better position as an upperclassmen, but even that came crashing down around my feet before half of the day was over. Needless to say school has already provided me with more than enough work, and I won't be able to play here nearly as often. After sorting through al of the mail and deviations, I'll start putting in all of the pictures and probobly won't be done until the Holidays unless a miricle happens. Oh well, at least I'll get to read- AP Psychology, US History (11th grade), US Literature (11th grade = lots of Ernest Hemmingway), Physics 1, Geometery... and lots more! Goodbuy summer!

This first one is taking me on a flight down to Florida to what is one of the three national Boy Scout high-adventure camps. From Key-West we will be sailing all across the waters in our rented three-masted schooner- the best part about it is the only person who knows how to properly operate the boat will be the skipper. About 20+ people and I will spend until the end of July figuring out how to operate our vessel while fishing, snorkling, scuba-diving, and attempting to tie the many knots required for sailing. Despite all of the "terrible difficulties", it will be a lot of fun, and I can't wait to leave this Saturday (wrote this on Tuesday). I still need to find or purchase some of the things on the required packing list, but I still have a few days until the 5:30AM flight...then I can sleep with ease. Because I will be on the open water (or in transit) for nearly 15 days, I will unfourtunatly be away from any type of communication (other than the ship's radio) and technology (except for my camera). I will get back from my trip just in time for my next one, which will send me to the south-eastern tip of Virginia. There I will be with my church mission trip (in Dunngannon, VA) to build and repair homes. That will also mean being away from a computer for another week. Oh well...

However, due to the downpour that is drenching my home now, my family (the half that hasn't caught a summer cold) is setting up the giant umbrella to put out on the deck while my dad and I attempt to light the now wet matches. Despite all the rain though it's relly a lot of fun- both my parents got to take the day off, and for once in a long time we're celebrating a holiday together- not any sort of crappy half-day with each one thing. Happy 4th...

Hello again! Well, my family and I decided to go see some fireworks but had to drive out a fair ways to see any away from the rain. The show started on time but it didn't last very long...about half-way through the show, one of the rockets went off before it launched- thus cutting the show early (too bad, it looked like it was going to be a big red one). ]]> ~980256 http://980256.deviantart.com/journal/13571578/ http://980256.deviantart.com/journal/13571578/ Mon, 02 Jul 2007 00:29:08 PDT It's yet another sleepless night where I find myself afixed to the computer. I don't know why I'm not tired- I didn't sleep well the past few nights and I'm eating and exercising right. Right now all that's going through my head is static, and I'm guessing that it will continue through the early morning. Anyways, this has at least given me enough time to put all of my new photos onto my account: that at least is a relief for now. All of the recent flower pictures on my account is because of my walk this morning (at 5:30AM)- outside along the pathway were countless numbers of wildflowers and the sunrise that came with it made the beginning of the day spectacular. I can't wait until mid-July when all of my camps and "family visits" begin (all over the country, mabey even out of it...). YAY! But while I'm still awake I might as well try to find some of the photos I took on my trip to Canada from last summer, or try to figure out how some of my computer programs work...yawn... ]]> ~980256 http://980256.deviantart.com/journal/13531349/ http://980256.deviantart.com/journal/13531349/ Thu, 28 Jun 2007 21:31:34 PDT I think that this is my first journal entry EVER. I suppose now is a good time to start as any, and hope that I'll remember to add to the entries. It's great to be here at deviantArt as both a new artist and as someone who is still trying to figure out how to use a computer... I get plenty of critique on the art that I present and learn the skills for my computer. I've only just started to add art just over a month a ago (May, 2007), and was extremely pleased with the almost immeadiate stream of comments. I'm glad to now have a first- friends made from being on-line...definatly easier to contact than the regular friends who I move away from every couple of years. I hope to continue using deviantArt, as it has brought me such a positive outcome.
