I'd have a lot more animations posted here, but they can't be less than 10 seconds so I post them on vimeo, but I do post what I'm doing at school and my animations on my blog. You can check that out at [link].

=w1ngs0fate I will be getting around to some designs of Axel probably at the end of the semester.

I've been really busy this semester with my last traditional animation course and preparing for my thesis project. I'm working on a 2d animated short film. I'm in the storyboarding and animatic phase at the moment. It should be pretty funny. I'm sure you'll be seeing some concept and character design work for that in the near future.

I hope you're all doing well and I'm always open for commissions or things to draw for fun.

Cheers,

Adam

I'm dedicating this journal entry to you guys. I've decided I want to take the time to thank the people who watch me or check out my art. All you've got to do is let me know what you'd like me to draw you and I'll make a list of everyone's ideas or things they want and I'll get started on doing some drawings. So if there is any certain series or fan art that you'd like to see let me know or if you have an OC that you'd like me to draw let me know. This isn't a commission list so throw down whatever you'd like to see and I'll see what I can do.

-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-

The List:

=w1ngs0fate - Axel
*Alamus - Axen (I know you didn't ask, but I've been wanting to do something with her for you for a while now )
=sayda - Sayda
~N8KELLY - Phil & Elliot

What I'm wondering is where are all the artists at and what happened to originality? What's a guy got to do to get some feedback on something? Don't get me wrong there are a ton of talented people here, but this is a community of artists right, and I would think a fellow artist would want to help out his buddies. I haven't posted as much on dA these days because half of the time it feels a little pointless to. I get more of a response from people on my blog or facebook then a I do here. Don't worry I'm not leaving or anything. I'm just ranting because I'm tired of seeing boobs and fan art everywhere.

In other news, school started back up this week. I'm having the busiest semester in my entire educational career. I draw nonstop all week on various projects, eat, sleep, and walk 2 miles to class. I can't wait till summer. It's going to be so nice. I have a new animation in the works and some character design stuff that I haven't put up here yet because they're just the drawings and I would like to clean them up a bit in photoshop before posting them, but I haven't much time to do so. Since I will have some more time this summer, I'm looking forward to working on more animations and some new illustrations. Is there anything you'd like to see more from me? Comics? Animation?

I hope all is well with the rest of you guys. Who's excited for Pixar's UP!? I can't wait. It's going to be awesome!

Later,

Adam

Check it out. I just re-did my entire website this weekend. I like it a lot better now and it should be easy to manage. Someday when I learn how to make flash sites it will be really cool, but for now I think this works best since I'm still in school and I'll be updating it often.

Let me know what you think!

The day before I moved back home I met a lovely girl online who liked my art work and that girl right now is my girlfriend crazy enough, which has been absolutely an amazing experience. If you want the full story on us message me or I can tell you in person. It's too long for this blog at the moment. Going home was good and it was bad. It felt good to be home for a while and to be able to see my family and hang out with my brothers. The bad stuff was ridiculous and lets just say there was a heated argument and a not needed family meeting. In the end of all of this family stuff I learned a lot and I was really hurt by it. I was shocked really and I'm sorry I'm being a little vague. Lets just say I never thought a dog could cause so many problems within a family.

August soon came and I spent my birthday in San Francisco moving into student housing, meeting the roomie, and spending time with the new girlfriend. I learned that housing sucks, the Academy is pretty sweet, my classes rock, and I'm so pumped to be an animator. I now have my own place in the city with my puppy Ringo and 2nd semester classes start this week. It's amazing how much can happen with in a year. My entire life changed and it seems like it happened so fast. Oh and I also got to meet three animators in person and get my books and stuff signed by them. They were Richard Williams (Who Framed Roger Rabbit), Bill Plympton (successful independent animator), and Eric Goldburg (Genie from Aladdin). It was very inspiring to meet them. Also if you are into animation, I highly recommend Eric Goldburg's new animation book called Character Animation Crash Course!

2009 is going to be a hard year for everyone it seems, but I hope it's going well for you. It feels good to be back in the city and back in school. You can be sure to look forward to more updates from me as school gets going. Here are my classes for this semester:

History & Techniques of Character Animation
Character Design & Drawing for Animators
Traditional Animation 2
Storyboarding

I'm off to my girlfriend's place with her family. I wasn't able to make it home this year, which is weird, this is my first Thanksgiving away from home with out my family. It's still going to be fun, just different.

What are you guys doing for Thanksgiving?


Cheers,

Adam

I have a new animation on the way though and hopefully it's cute. It's a new flour sack animation and that should be fun. That won't be up for another 2 weeks though. In the mean time, school is going great and I've been having a really good time adjusting to life in San Francisco.

I'm really excited for Halloween this year. I'm going as a dead person or zombie. Think Thriller by Michael Jackson, yeah baby! I'll be shaking my zombie booty all night and then at midnight, November 1st, it's my girl friend's Birthday, which will be awesome.

PS. There are a ton of games coming out this fall that are going to rock. I'm so excited for this fall! Here's my lineup:

Little Big Planet
Fable II
Fallout 3
Tales of Symphonia
Banjo Kazooie
Gears of War II

I just wish I had the money to get half of them, haha.

By the way if anyone would like a commission from me let me know, I'm always open for business.


Cheers,

Adam

I should have more work coming. I've been busy working and figuring out things with school and life that I haven't done a lot of art lately. I've had a huge idea for a comic that I've been putting together in my head and on paper for the past 2 years now and I want to get going on it. Hopefully this summer I will get around to making it. I have a few things in the work and I want to get back into the habit of post more work.

If anyone has any ideas of things they'd like to see from me let me know. I'd love to hear your ideas.

Cheers,

Adam

I didn't get the job that I wanted. They must have found some one with the professional experience that I lack, but on the other hand I came up with an idea. I don't have anything going for me here in Chicago. There aren't any jobs here that I really want and the ones that I want don't seem to want me...so I've decided to go to The Academy of Art in San Fransisco to get my Masters degree in 2d animation. 2d animation is what I've always wanted to do, but I never really got that kind of education where I went to school. I did learn a lot though at my other school. I also think this will be amazing because I'll get to learn the things I've always wanted to, I'll be in California where all of the big studios are, and hopefully when everything is said and done, I'll have a kick ass portfolio that will land me a good job. I'm pretty excited about this.

At the moment I'm printing out pieces to make a new portfolio to send to them. I plan on sending out my portfolio next week and then I'll get the official word if I've been excepted. I've got my fingers crossed! I want to go here so bad. I don't know what I'll do if I don't get in.


Cheers,

Adam

Here are the rules:

I will type out mine and then tag 5 other people, and then they will have to put theirs down and then tag 5 other people and so on and so on! So ah ha!

So you get to put down 12 (that's right 12 for the 12 days of x-mas) items for what you want for Christmas! And they can be whatever it is you want or ever wanted.

Okay. Now to start the Crazy Dream Christmas List!

1. To have a winning lottery ticket would be freakin' awesome.
2. An HDTV would be killer. You know like a big one at 1080p
3. A sweet surround sound system to go with my new TV
4. Playstation 3
5. Super Mario Galaxy
6. Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles
7. I'd really like an animation job for Christmas....that'd be nice
8. New Clothes are always good
9. A trip to Disney World
10. My own house in California
11. A new electric guitar
12. And peace on earth

That pretty much sums up my list.

Now I tag:

Ok GO!

In other news. I have an animation that should be done soon and other art coming soon as well, haha that seems to be the story of my life.

I'm excited for Halloween this year. I'm going as Wolverine if you haven't noticed already and last night I just got back from a Pirate Party where everyone had to dress up as Pirates and they had fun Pirate decorations and stuff like that.

As for an update with my life I'm currently working on my portfolio and looking for a job. I've been doing freelance work here and there, but I'm still looking for something steady.

What's everyone else been up to? I feel like I haven't talked to anyone on here in a while. Let me know what's going on.


All of the previous things that I said I was working on I'm still working on, they're still coming just hold on. I seem to start lots of projects and then I have to go back and finish the one I started, but I end up getting excited about something new so I stop that project and work on the new one, haha.

Anyway I hope things are going well for you everyone else.

So I missed the deadline for 's contest, but I'm still going to finish the piece and show it to him. I still think it's coming along really well although I really wish I would have gotten it done it time.

Tomorrow I'm going to be at the comic con in Chicago, Wizard World, along with . We're going to be at the AI booth for our school. So if you're going to be there you should stop by and say hi.

You should be seeing a lot more work from me from now on because I have some time on my hands since I'm not in school anymore.

Well I'm off to finish some colors.


Cheers!

So was my pageview winner and I'm going to be doing a full sketch and color commission for her because she's awesome. I think I'm going to be taking my work in more of a comic direction. I have ideas for some new OC's and comic books ideas. I'm sure you'll be seeing those soon.

I'm currently working on some colors for 's contest, which will be up soon since it's due at the end of the month.

I apologize again, I've been gone for a while, but I was in the middle of moving into my new apartment (I still am...a little) and I've been busy with work, but I should be back on her a lot more now. I've got some things settled and I have a lot of new ideas.

I'm only a few pageviews away from 5627!!!!

I truly appreciate everyone who watches my art and if you are the 5,627th viewer stand right up and shout and let me know.

If you are I'll do a free commission for you including sketch and colors.

it's been too long. So last month I graduated from college. I'm now a free man in the working world and on July 19th I'm going to be a full time employee for High Voltage Software here in the Chicago Suburbs, which is awesome. It's a great place filled with really nice people and the food is free.

I have some things to post and ideas in my head of stuff to do. I'm in the process of moving into my new apartment and things like that so that's why I've been gone for a while. I move in next Tuesday so I should be able to get rolling on some more deviations. The new place is going to be awesome. I'll post some picks after I get settled in.

OH and I'm slowly approaching 5,627 pageviews so if you're that lucky person let me know and I'll do a free commission for you of your choice.

Well next week is midterms and this is my last quarter of school. I'm pretty excited about it and I can't wait to be done, but I have so much work to do. It's crazy! I thought I'd just put up an update as to what I'm working on. So here's the list:

Senior project - New animated music video done in traditional animation at 24fps
Portfolio II - Complete demo reel and DVD packaging
Team Animation - Complete Backgrounds, start animating, model extra props
Capstone - Complete 10 page paper by the end of the quarter

Finish drawing for [link] for being my pageview winner of last time

Oh and I'm slowly approaching 5,627 pagviews so when it gets closer let me know if you end up being that lucky number. If you are send my a screen capture of it that you are and I'll do a free commission for you of whatever you'd like.

Last weekend I came back from Spring Break and I was really excited to check my mail box because I was hoping to find a letter from CalArts in there...and I did...but to my dismay I wasn't accepted. There could be all kinds of reasons why I wasn't accepted and I was late submitting anyway, but at least I tried. I was really bummed out about it, but the more I started thinking, the more I realized that it didn't matter to much.

I can now focus on getting into the industry faster and learning what I need to know once I get in. The hard part is getting in, but I'm working on sending out my resume and demo reel to as many people that I can think of. I'm looking for jobs and internships as well.

My heart is still set on going to California and one day working for a big company like Pixar or Disney. I know that if I work hard enough that it will eventually happen...it's my dream. I would like to move out there this fall or at least by the end of the year and I'm dragging my buddy Nate Kelly with me because we're going to get a place together. *wink* *wink*

This is a new beginning for me and one that is getting really serious and kind of scary because the jobs I'm competing for are the ones my friends want too. I'm excited though and I have a lot of work a head of me, which is what I should be doing right now.


Cheers,

Adam

PS - Sorry I haven't updated in a little while, but I'm super busy working on wrapping up my final quarter here at ILIS. So much work to do and so little time, but I will update soon and I'm working on a brand new animation and it will be traditional. I also have 3d work to post as well.

]]> ~Aek5627 http://Aek5627.deviantart.com/journal/12167890/ http://Aek5627.deviantart.com/journal/12167890/ Tue, 13 Mar 2007 11:08:31 PDT

I finished my portfolio to CalArts today and I just got back from the post office from sending it off. I haven't been around much lately because that's what I've been working on. The portfolio holds all of my best artwork from 2004 to 2007, the original pieces. A lot of it is stuff that most people haven't seen and almost all of it is drawings from life. I am very proud of this portfolio and it's what will determine my future.

I now sit around and wait to see if I am accepted. I am applying for what is considered the hardest character animation program in America. Only 8 -10 percent of those who apply are accepted. I've been hoping, praying, and wishing that I get in. I feel that this school and program will define me as an artist and as an animator.

I am officially at a fork in the road with my life. I either get accepted to CalArts, move to California in August, start school, and pursue my dreams or I don't get accepted, try to find work in Chicago or move to California and find work, and pursue my dreams on my own. This is a big step for me and one that won't leave my mind. On one hand I am anxious to start up fresh somewhere new and start my career, and on the other I am upset because I will be leaving behind my family and some of the greatest people I have ever met.

I hope I get into CalArts, wish me luck, and let the good times roll!


Cheers,

Adam Knight

It's been a while. I always seem to get a little side tracked from DA every now and then. I should have a lot of work coming. I've been busy with a lot of projects that I've started. I also just started my portfolio class which is keeping me quite busy.

I'm also working on a porfolio to submit to CalArts. I'd like to go there once I finish school here at ILIS. I got to visit the school over winter break and I'm really excited to move out to California and start work in the industry and attend school there.

I hope everyone is enjoying the new year and had a great break. I'm officially back on here and running.

My animation made it into ARTimation and I'm so excited to see it on the big screen this year. I know a lot of people this year who made it into the show so It'll be twice as fun. I can't wait for ARTimation this year! I didn't even know that they posted the winners until my girlfriend surprised me. She took me to school saying that she needed to get her jump drive because she forgot it and then there on the wall was the winners. It was cool. Now I'm really motivated to make a new animation and something even better and perhaps more traditional with lots of expression. Who knows when I'll get around to making it though. I have a lot of 3D work this quarter and not to mention a comic book that I need to work on in my free time. So much to do and so little time.

Hopefully there will be many good things to come.

Oh and since I never heard who was 3,000th pageviewer I'm claiming Miss-Mieke as the winner. So whatever you'd like Mieke I'll make it for you. Just let me know what you'd like.

So I'm approaching 3,000 pageviews and if you're number 3,000 take a screen cap and show it to me so I can see that you were number 3,000 and I'll make whatever you'd like or draw you something.

I just thought I'd let everyone know that I changed the ending in my flash animation. It's a minor edit, but it does make a difference so if you'd like to see it with the changes feel free and let me know what you think. I only have a few days left before I have to submit it in to see if I qualify to be in Artimation. I think it would be awesome to be in it and I'm looking forward to it.

In other news I'm still coming up with concepts for the comic and once the character concepts are finished I will start doing pages for the comic so you can expect to see some of those in the near future.

My buddy and I are going to start a 2d animation together and when that is finished I will post that as well. Hopefully you'll be seeing more animations from me from here on out.

Just an update -

Something's going crazy with my scanner. Everytime I go to scan an error comes up and the scanner won't start soooo it might be a little bit before I get some stuff up, unless I go to school and scan a few things.

I've also been doing some character concepts for a comic I'm working on for a friend of mine and later on I'll have some pages up for it. I'm pretty excited for the comic because once it's finished it'll be published in 5 different comic book stores across the Chicago area

Alright so my birthday was alright. Nothing that impressive, but it was still an ok time. I got Derge of Cerberus for PS2 and that's been cool. I went back to my apartment on Sunday and my girlfriend took me to Hollywood Boulevard, which is a movie theater that you dine at. It was a lot of fun even though the both of us have been through a lot of stress this past week.

As soon as I can get to a working scanner I'll have some new stuff up.

Gone wrong!

So it's my birthday on Sunday and I had this whole weekend planned of things that I wanted to do with my girlfriend. I wanted to take her back home to where I'm from (Iowa) and show her around, meet my family again (it'd be the second time), and do all of the activities that I had planned, but everything just feel apart. It really sucks...at the last moment that we were suppose to leave for a 3 hour drive, her mom calls her and tells her that her Great Grandfather died, but he didn't die today. He died yesterday she wasn't even going to call about it cuz it's one of those relatives that you don't really know so it's not that big of a deal if you don't go to the funeral especially when its 10 hours away. So yay since her mom calls her about it she feels compelled to go, just like anyone else would, and ruins everything.....Sooo now I'm stuck here in Iowa by myself for the most part, of the weekend that was suppose to be a special weekend and it's my 21st birthday. It's weird. I've never had a birthday that got ruined or where there's nothing going on. I'm not even getting anything for my birthday because a while back I got a new digital camera. My dad's taking off for a buisness trip on my Birthday too so I guess I'm not going out and do the 21 thing. To be honest I don't know what I'm going to do...I guess I'll go draw some pictures.....blah!


Sorry for the rant, but had to get that out of my system.

I hope everyone else is having a great weekend and thanks to everyone who has faved and commented on my work. I really appreciate it.

I'm trying to get back on here. I've been gone for a while and I finally have some time to sit down and do something of my own. I've been quite busy with school and life in general.

Thanks to everyone who has commented on my animation. I've been working on it this quarter and fine tweaking it. I've been adding a lot more to it and making it even better. There will be a lot more of the organic vine backgrounds filtered through out the piece and I'm cutting some things and making a few minor changes. It'll be finished by mid September and I'll post the new version when it's complete. I'm trying to make it the best that I can for Artimation this year at my school, where students have the chance to have their work presented in a theater and judged by professionals in the industry. I'm really excited to hopefully be a part of that this year.

I have a lot of time on my hands this quarter so hopefully I'll be able to get a lot more work up here and get back to DA.

This quarter has been crazy for me. I've been really busy with school projects and some silly drama stuff, so I appologize to everyone. I haven't updated in a really long time.

I started this book and everyday I'm trying to draw something in it. Some of my new sketches are from that book. (See scraps area)

This summer I should have a lot more time to do my own work and post things up here. I'm only taking one class this summer so you can look forward to more updates and more artwork.

I really want to do something awesome this summer since I don't really have anything mind blowing on my site.

Stay tuned and I appreciate everyone who watches my artwork!

Cheers,

Adam

I'm finally back on here doing stuff. I got really busy last quarter doing work and caught up in a realtionship that seemed to have ended before it even started. Hopefully this quarter I'll have more time to do some of my own art.

I have a lot of character concepts and ideas that should be coming eventually, so you can look forward to that. I need to spend some more time developing my photoshop techniques.

Oh and drama and broken hearts aren't that fun.

Have a wonderful day!

Cheers,

Adam

School has started again and things are going quite well! I think I'm going to be quite busy this quarter. I have Materials and Lighting, Drawing and Characterization, Physics II, and 3D Animation. Hopefuuly I'll have a lot of character stuff up from Drawing and characterization and some 3D work.

I also plan on doing some more digital work like paintings and stuff this quarter. If you would like me to do some art work for you let me know and I'll try and do whatever you'd like. I need some side projects to keep me busy and to improve myself as an artist. So if you have any ideas let me know and I'll see what I can do.

Cheers,

Adam

As for my storyboard I'm not sure if I want to post any of the frames from it. I'm still pondering over it, but my next assignment I get to do whatever I want and I'm thinking about developing these characters that are in this script that I'm writing for in my writing for animation class. That should be fun and hopefully the character designs will be pretty cool.

Thats all that's coming for now unless I can find some free time to make some crazy magic.

Wicked was a great play! I got to sit in the third row in the center up front, which was sweet. It puts your perspective and what you know, or think you know, about The Wizard of Oz in a whole new view. I really enjoyed all the story elements and how things came together. If you like The Wizard of Oz, I highly recommend seeing Wicked. The singing, acting, and everything was just awesome! GO SEE IT!

My birthday was a lot of fun and I got some cool gifts from friends and family.

I'm working on a new storybaord also, so once I get some panels done I'll be putting some of them up. I'm going for more of a cell shaded look than a realistic look compared to last time. I guess a comic look. I also have some new 3D projects that I'll be putting up soon.

Ta ta till then,

~Adam

IT"S MY BRITHDAY TODAY!!!

...wow I can't believe that I am twenty. I feel like I should still be 19. I feel like I'm suppose to be a teenager for the rest of my life and never grow up lilke Peter Pan or something. Hmmm......

Anyways, I am really excited because today my family is coming over and we're going to go see Wicked downtown and I get to bring some friends along too. I'm really looking forward to it! I'm not really looking forward to the cuz twenty of them....that's a lot! Ouch! But birthday's are always a good time, unless you belong to one of those crazy religions where you don't celebrate the day you were born. *cries*

I'm off to indulge in Birthday Cake and Ice Cream, oh, and don't forget presents. Yay!

Cheers,

Adam

My birthday's coming up and that's exciting, I guess, the big 20! I get to see wicked though on my birthday and that should be cool. I think on the 12 of August I might go see The All American Rejects at the Metro in Chicago. I downloaded there new album and I like it a lot. Good stuff if you're into that.

Not too much going on just school stuff I guess.

More work to come,
Adam

Sometimes I wish I could foresee the future, so I could be a better person and know what to expect or see what's coming ahead. Sometimes you have to stop and figure things out on your own. It always seems that I have to stop and get myself straight and really figure out what I want in life. I had something precious and then I stopped it. I stopped it so I could figure things out and now I miss it so much. You really don't appreciated the things that mean the most to you sometimes until they're gone. I still hang on and hope that someday things will turn back around when the time is right and things are meant to be...

...but I LOVE having time off. It's nice to just do whatever you feel like doing. Too bad school will be starting in a week or so.

Cheers! Muah!

Right now though I think I'm over it. I'm just living the way that I want to at my place here in Schaumburg.

Relationships are hard to keep and sometimes the best ones are the ones you have with your friends. I'm single and I think that's the way I want it to be for a while. I don't want to have to go through what I just did again. It's too hard on ones self.

Relationships with friends can also be hard too. I mean I have a lot of friends, but it seems like half of them never call you to do something. They just expect you to call or show up all the time. I guess people just don't think of others that much.

Summer Break is 2 weeks away and I can't wait! It'll be nice to have some time off and go on vacation, plus I'd really love to go on some trips with my friends this summer. I'm really looking forward to this summer, although I think this coming summer quarter is going to be pretty tough and a lot of work.

Here's to your health baby!
Cheers,

Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am whole again

Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am young again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am fun again

However far away
I will always love you
However long I stay
I will always love you
Whatever words I say
I will always love you
I will always love you

Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am free again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am clean again

However far away
I will always love you
However long I stay
I will always love you

I will always love you
I will always love you

I recently have been doing a lot of stuff in Photoshop since I have this Image Manipulation class. I will probably be posting some of the work that I have been doing in there in the upcoming days.

I also have been captured by four lovely ladies that won't let me out of their sight. I now have a new home. I have officially been adopted! Sorry Matt Club...I haven't been around in a while.

Things at the art institute have been going pretty well. I recently just completed my cyborg drawing for advanced drawing. I'll be posting that also as soon as I get it back.

Hopefully, I will have some time to sit down and do some more artwork for my space here at Deviant Art.

Cheers! ]]> ~Aek5627 http://Aek5627.deviantart.com/journal/4603077/ http://Aek5627.deviantart.com/journal/4603077/ Wed, 16 Feb 2005 23:58:15 PST
I am curious to see what this life has instore for me as an artist. ]]> ~Aek5627 http://Aek5627.deviantart.com/journal/4424913/ http://Aek5627.deviantart.com/journal/4424913/ Wed, 26 Jan 2005 23:18:28 PST
Sometimes I don't know why I'm really on here besides the fact that a girl with purple hair was going to seduce me if i didn't, and it gives me something to do. I guess I am inspired by others here. I just haven't taken the time to make something absoluetly amazing. I need to though. I need to build some fans! This is my goal to achieve here. I need some fans, I need some friends; I need just about anything.

Tonight, since I am bored and have no one to talk to, maybe we can see how long I can actually type a journal entry. Yes you better brace yourself. This could get long. The following section(s) of this journal entry is me talking about absolutely anything, so if you'd like you can stop here and carry on with your day, or you can continue to read the rest of my nonsense.

"I think perhaps love thrives on unlikely circumstance and chance : life thrives on these principles, and is life not love" Brandon Boyd

I really like that quote. If you do not live to love, than what do you live for. What are you really living for. In the end, I think that is all that we are living for or searching for. Everyone does something in the end to be returned with some kind or form of love. "The greatest thing you'll ever learn is to love and be loved in return" Moulin Rouge, well if that isn't the truth.

If you could ramble on about absolutely anything, what would you ramble about? Would you even ramble on if no one was listening. You might as well just go with it.

I'm drinking cherry seven up tonight. Drinking cherry seven up is like putting an orgasmic cherry in your mouth. It just keeps tickeling your throat with waves and waves of delightment and pleasure. The pleasure of drinking a carbonated beverage with 39g of sugar and the artificial flavor of cherries. Yummy!

Have you ever drank something that was so cold that you could feel it move down your throat and then settle in the wasteland of your stomach? I love that feeling. That is liquid pleasure at its finest.

Do you ever wonder what the point of life really is? (im not suicidal) I mean seriously, we grow up to learn a bunch of stuff, after you learn a bunch of stuff your goal is to then get a job for the rest of your life to earn money, once you have your money you go and try to make you life better, and then you die. That's it and most of the time no one will ever remember you. Most people do not put a dent in the earth where everyone will remember them forever. Most of us will just dissappear and be forgotten. It's kind of sad. Everyone wants to be remembered, but in the long run they won't be. Life has such simple goals, but yet we all want to live. So while we are here, why not make the most out of it? Why not be the best that you can be?

I thought this was funny. The other day a friend of mine and this girl went out to eat for dinner. I complemented this girl on many things. My friend says that I'm trying to pick up this chick. Is that what its come down to. I can't be nice to another girl just to be nice even though I have a girl friend. I thought that that was a tradegy. I like to recieve compliments about myself. I figured someone else would have too.

I wonder how long I can write this thing? Does it even stop somewhere?

I am envious of my friends. At this very moment, almost at any moment, right now they are playing world of warcraft. I can not afford to partake in this massive multiplayer online role playing game. They are addicted to it like a little kid eating paste. I think that it has now become a disease or an invection. I call it WOWsifilrenrosis. Beware, if you play WOW, I'm sure that you will also get it. It seems to be spreading and the holiday vacation didn't help any. The carrier of this diease was a young man named Eric. He has plagued them all. The virus started in the corner of the living area and now it has take over the table and the intire living space. You should have kept him in his room where he was qurantined, but you had to go and let him out. Someone better call Osmosis Jones.

I went and hit the enter key many times, I really don't think that this journal entry could ever stop. It is infinite, so I have decided to stop here. I know its dissapointing, but perhaps there will be a Rambalation part 2. Untill then enjoy deviant art.

Filtered through my mind
Pixels of you
You never leave
Yet
You never stay
Thirst of the sense I am partched
Dry upon a sandpaper surface
I long for your parcel wrapped by gentle hands
A promise I'll keep
To contain such a gift
I am blessed
And for this I thank you
Though my lips are chapped
I will be happy ]]> ~Aek5627
