                <description><![CDATA[ Its because you're there, what I'm afraid to see,<br />whats hidden so far down inside of me. <br />   I cant help but regress, and think for the best but what the fuck? Is this really your test? <br />   I thought you better than that, someone that could see that bitter part of me. <br />   Its not all personal. It comes from the past. <br />   What once was, is held in my hand, ready to beat down those fuckers who don't understand.<br />   I cant help it, so plain to see, to put in place? Eh, that's another thing entirely. <br />   What to do, what to say, Be my catalyst, if that's okay. <br /> I cant make up your mind. <br />   You have control of what is to be, soon you'll look to me. You will see. <br />   So fucking muster up your luster, glimmer with a light of white spite, show everyone you can rise to the fight.<br />   Lazy fuck. Promises Promises. Like you ever knew. Like you could ever know! <br />   I hate what you mean to me, i hate what you are to them!<br />   But that's not as funny as how i knew you loved me, and i toyed with that fact, wiped my ass with it and threw it in your fucking face! <br />   Ah ha, sweet revenge, but for what? You did nothing to me... Oh but again, that's just me.<br />   I told you from the fucking beginning that it wasn't meant to be, but does anyone ever listen to me? No... no no no. <br />   So suck it up boy, wipe off your knees and don't ever ask me to be your tease. <br />   I couldn't if i wanted to anyway, my skin crawls in your presence. Why?  Because I'm just that fucking way. <br />   Don't pretend like you understand, I've been through this hole before, there's no place for us to land.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Its been a while.<br />Life has been turbulent to say the least.<br />I've had a lot of calming down to do before i wrote in this. I wouldn't want you guys to get the brunt end of my psychoticness. Psssha right. <br />Its been declared that i am now finally a 'safe' person to be around. Who'd a thought that the quiet little girl who draws creepy pictures in the corner has an actual story to tell! Oh and boy have i got one to tell. Maybe one day when everything seems to be going right, I'll throw a bit of my past in there to shake things up a bit. Yea, that sounds nice. I'll write like the Brothers Grimm, with no shame and no 'harm'<br />My stories will stick around forever until the end of time, all the while seeping my ideals and virtues into the minds of all the young and malleable children that populate the Earth. Huh, I'll be the next Walt fucking Disney! <br />Hooray for me, I have finally realized for the first time in my life that i am free to do my hearts' desire. The only thing that brings me down are the consequences. But isn't that true for most everyone? There isn't a lark in the world that doesn't have to bow down to the man at some point, in some form. While I'm here wading in this pool of shit we call reality, in all its infinite luster, i am biting the hand that feeds me. With all its inadequacies right up in your face like that, its hard to miss whats works, and what doesn't. <br />I'm gonna gnaw that shit off til its just a distant memory.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So as many of you (more like none of you) may know, i am not much of a Journal writer, especially if others can read it <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> Anyway, with that thought in mind, i've decided to just write about the art stuff in here. No personal crap that no one is interested in.<br />Deal?<br />   Well its good enough for me.<br />   <br />   So now on to the art stuff:<br />   I'm swamped in projects. I've never felt so overwhelmed by art in my life... but then again, i've never liked it as much as i do now either. I'm getting many requests and with schooling in the way, i have little time to do it. So, as something to keep myself on track, i've decided to write my projects all down on a list. And for your benifit i'll describe it a bit.<br />   <br />                             Here goes:<br />   1. Garboid: Half man half machine, this wheelchair bound clown is stuck in a swamp with gigantic spikey orange flowers towering above him. He is dirty and rusted, from sitting there to long. Frozen in time, if you will.<br />   2.The One With The Eyes: An abstract piece thats hard to explain but easy to look at. In it is an outstreached hand, odd vines, twigs stuck together, spikes flying outward, an a sheet of eyeballs connected and contorted. But its still a work in progress.<br />   3.The Standing Woman: For a 'Big Piece' assignment in class, i enlarged a picture of a woman standing and holding one of her legs up at her side. <br />   The picture in its entirety is made up  18? pages (i call 'em panels) 10" by 14" i think (havnt worked on it in a bit cant remember the exact numbers) <br />   Anyway, each panel is done in a different media (charcoal, watercolor, chalk pastel, oil pastel, scratchboard ect...) <br />   And if thats not enough, i've drawn a bunch of little puppets to dance at her feet and come out of the walls.<br />   4.The Sharpies and The Ball Points: These quirky little do-dads are a political statement... well, i'm pulling it off as one at least.This one is for all you Skinny Bitches and you Fat Fucks. Thats right, i said it and i mean it. <br />   All the twiggish, anorexic, bulimic, the whateverthefuckevers that need to eat a sandwich are the wonderful Sharpies. All the hoarding, wastes of skin whales and what-nots that just need to stop fucking eating are the fanciful Ball Points. <br />   I think i'll do some in between i-tried-to-fix-it ones as well, you know like the Ball Points that got lipo, and the Sharpies that ate themselves to death or something... eh, i dont know, maybe. <br />   This statement is, by all means, ment to insult people. Dont comoplain to me about it though, i'll just ignore you.<br />   5.Rich Tattoo: Three concepts given to me by a guy i met. They are tattoo designs that i've agreed to help him with. So i guess we're like pen pals now. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br /><br />   Wow, that helped.<br />   And, now you guys know what i'm up to.<br />   Killed two birds with one stone.<br />   Die you fuckers!<br />Nah, just kidding. <br />Thanks for listening.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So, my sisters are coming to visit today, so my family has gone into some sort of cleaning frenzy because of the baby.<br />I cant wait though, Nebula is almost a year old and i havnt seen her sense the begining of September, she is almost walking now...<br />My sister Heather is coming out with Samantha and Nebula too, i havnt seen her sense her wedding.<br />So, all in all today will be a big day, and as much as i'm looking foreward to it, i cant wait for it to be over. I hate visiting family almost as much as i love seeing them.<br />Why cant we just wait til Thanksgiving? Its just a week away... <br />Speaking of Thanksgiving, why the hell is everyone celebrating Christmas already?? It isnt even December yet and already all the TV programs are Christmas shows, all the commercials are talking about gifts and discounts for Christmas, not to mention all the decorations people have already put up. Even the grocery stores are foregoing Thanksgiving and skipping straight to Christmas! So Here is my official "HAPPY THANKSGIVING" and may your feast be plentiful and filling.<br />And to all of you that dont celebraate Thanksgiving, eat a bunch of shit on thursday anyway so you can get fat with the rest of us.... and well happy thursday <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />Anyway, i have to get back to sweeping, enjoy yourselves.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Feeling better today, could be the claritin.... but lets say its magic for shits and giggles. Ugh... so i spent an entire hour today figuring out how to paint rocks for the stupid Phooka painting i'm doing, but lesson learned, you cant just paint a bunch of grey and hope it turns out the way you want it, you actually have to THINK about it... yippie for me, thinking in art class... whats next?<br />So, on another note, i just posted two? pictures. uhh, my best friend Jessica told me to get some new pictures, so i took some, and like none of them turned out, so i manipulated the fuck out of them, every one except Character2, i just increased the contrast... a lot, set the ISO slow, and stood in front of a plasma tv, its neat when the screen changes and you capture it with the camera.<br />Yep so thats it <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

I can hardly hear haha, i guess that helps with ignoring my little sister. Anyway, the school year started, and so did my art classes. I should be getting my first assignments back in about a week or so, so i will have those up soon... or i should anyway, i want to find a scanner so that the quality is better. Well thats my update. Toodles.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Ok, i'm starting to get a little annoyed at the fact that you practically have to devote your life to this damn website, or get a subscription, to get any recognition. I'm not saying that i'm the best out there, you can tell by my work that i'm not. But tips and pointers are nice. But like i said before, nobody seems to give a fuck unless you have some rank. So i have been on here sense about January and i have posted dozens of forums i've participated in features i've visited random deviants pages and commented there work, thoughtfully i might add, and blah blah blah, what do i get? Nothing. It seems like i'm the only one putting out any effort!! Even if you leave me a shitty ass message saying my art it retarded and that i should just throw all my hopes and dreams away, that would be fine, because atleast then i would know that someone actually gave enough of a shit to take the time out of their busy little day to fucking say something and make me feel like i'm not wasting my time on this fucking website. I'm not trying to dis anyone, or this website, i am just frustrated. To all of you who did take their time to say something, thank you. I appreciate it beyond measure. And to all you fucks that didnt even bother to respond when i fav/comment your piece, fuck you and in the words of mjk himself 'you can shove your fucking finger up your ass' if you dont want to use it to type a response.<br /><br />On a lighter note, school starts on Monday.

Now here i am a week later with 25 messages to read and only 15 minutes to do it!! <br /><br />I went to California, to the Redwoods National Park, camped there  for a week strait and had a blast. I just really wish i had a camera, or some art supplies, something! Not one picture out of the whole experience! <br /><br />Oh well, memories are what really count right?<br /><br />I'll keep telling myself that haha!<br /><br />C-ya!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well after a time spent waiting, i now have news to deliver: I got an A on my first assignment! Yippie!! Im really happy i have the chance to go to this school, even though i am kinda having a hard time balancing my schedule, i think this will be a very good thing for me. I think i just need to break free of others expectations... but all that is for my other journal. This is my art journal with a bunch of neat looking stickers on the cover. Neat huh?<br />I should have some ceramic pieces up if i can get a good enough picture of them. I just finshed my 1 point perspective with the two ninja's and the window behind them leading to the streets of a major city somewhere in the united states. That should be up by the end of the month. I just started my 'evil chair' and i am a little less than half way finished. It is going to be cool. Well, as far as all that is concerned, there is nothing left to say except live long and prosper.<br /><br />Thanks for taking the time to read my bullshit.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Whats up?<br /><br />Long time no update...... ummm well guess what? I just got accepted into the Art Instructions School. It is going to be expensive but hopefully the next two years will be exciting and influential to me and my counterparts. My odds were seventy to one and i made it! Right now i am really loving myself, and i hope this high never goes away. I start my first lesson immediately and it looks like they are starting me out with the basics.<br /><br />Wish me luck!<br /><br /><br /><br />Also, i just got five new pictures, tell me what you think.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ <strong>Hey fellow Deviants!</strong><br />
<u>For starters, i would just like to wish you a happy new years and whatever other holiday is going on... like i dont know Kwanza? Any way, i just wanted to ask you a quick question:</u><br />
<br />
<i><b>I need to find a few books on porportions  of the hands, feet, face, and body. And also a book of anatomy, and foreshortning. I need these cheap, like $20 bucks each cheap. I am willing for barter so dont be absolute on the price. If they are used, thats ok, i just want them in good condition. Please, if anyone can help that would be fantastic. </b></i><br />
<br />
Thank you very much and again, happy new year!<br />
<br />
<br />
<u><strong> I want to send a shout out to ~Dr3d5 for making me a totallyfreakinawsomeoutofthisworldcooler thancool Avatar.</strong></u><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ if you look at your hand, you will see that the emphasis is not on the lines themselves but the shadows around them. Its better if you draw from life, even if you are beginning, otherwise you will get to use to using the wrong side of your brain. My instructor helped me a lot in this area. She always tells me: Draw what you see, not what is there. I never really got this until i started to listen to it. If you draw what you see (lines, shadows, light vs dark, value, true color) and not what is there, the picture will look real. You arent drawing a hand, you are drawing lines and shapes, nothing more. Once you realize this, it should become easier and easier. I am still struggling but i can see an improvement. It works if you listen to it.<br /><br /> ]]></description>
