One year without an update.<br />
<br />
Well I'm still alive for anyone that cares and I'm just starting to crawl over the wall of artist block I've been suffering from (not to mention all the distractions *cough*Halo). Finished up my  first game character so I'm a little psyched(and relieved). I'm thinking about revamping something old, but I really need to work on my drawing and sketching(texturing was a painful reminder). <br />
<br />
Well, who the heck knows when I'll be back so,<br />
See ya,<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ WARNING! this Journal contains very geeky topics <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/t/tux.gif" width="21" height="22" alt=":tux:" title="Linux/Unix" /> skip to bottum paragraph if your not very geeky.<br />
<br />
Well haven't posted a journal in a while, heck I haven't done much on devintart in quite a while, hmm have fix that, speaking of fixing.<br />
<br />
My computer crashed last week, in a freak formatting accident, sort of. I got my Linux disks in the mail (Kubuntu to be exact), and was installing it onto my second hard drive so Windows could have the first. I finished that and then tried to start windows and got....    nothing, it wouldn't start. So I install Windows on another hard drive and got Windows started up. That was the good news, now the bad news is that windows looks at the first drive and basicly says "what the hell is THAT?", unfortunately all my files from the past two years are on that drive.<br />
So now I have to get fix it software or I'll loose my stuff permenantly. 35gigs is a lot to loose.<br />
<br />
I did get Kubuntu and windows to live together now, they're now roommates on one hard drive, otherwise they fight. I Really like Kubuntu it has a ton of cool programs, like Kopete which instant messanger program that can talk to MSN, Yahoo, and a half dozen others. It has really good office programs right out of the box. And best of all its all FREE, FREE, FREE. Linux is a free operating system.<br />
<br />
When I get stuff fixed, hopefully soon, I'll post something on Deviantart. I wasn't posting much before due to some crippling and depressing artist block. It sucks to feel retard everytime you put a pencil to paper, but I think I'm over it now.<br />
See ya later <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/w00t.gif" width="23" height="23" alt=":w00t:" title="w00t!" /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ My new tablet kicks ass. I was able to get five drawing in a weeks time and two of them were colored (new personal record). <br />
<br />
The tablets alot faster and way more accurate than a mouse, its pressure sensitive which lets me make fat and skinny lines with changing brush sizes (great for hard to reach places), plus it has lots extra buttons that save alot of extra clicking and scrolling (awesome for web surfing with built in back button).<br />
<br />
But enough about that.<br />
<br />
I'm happy I've got new pics up and a new avatar (does it look OK?). Got really depressed recently, but I'm feeling better now. I've been busy with pics so I haven't been checking my friends stuff recently, but that's getting fixed very quickly.<br />
<br />
Feel free to critique my new pics.<br />
<br />
See ya later ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Figures I would be able to get on the internet on my b-day to post my b-day pic. My B-day was on the 28th but the pic didn't get posted until tonight.<br />
The wacom tablet I ordered a week ago finally arrived so I'm happy. It a little awkward to use right now but I'm getting use to it. That means some new art should be arriving in the near future. <br />
Sorry I haven't been posting recently, but I either been feeling like crap or too busy to sketch. <br />
My 500 page view is coming soon so I'm celebrating that too. That probably would have occured on my b-day too had I gotten my pic up on time. ]]></description>

I just borrowed the Appleseed movie from a friend and its awesome. Definitely one of my favorites (I'll probably buy my own copy). I was pissed off that I couldn't see it when it first came out. The 3d art and animation are wonderful althought the cartoon shading of the characters is a little weird in a few spots. The stortline was a lot darker (where did all the humor go?) than the books were but, I think it made the movie a lot better. I really liked the music so I might go and get the sound track when I can get some extra cash. The exciting battle scenes and robot fighting were great.<br />
Go check out the previews at <a href="http://appleseedthemovie.com">[link]</a> if you don't have a clue what this movie is about. ]]></description>

Is it any good or should I try something else? Please let me know. I'm might do a few animations for a few of my friends if they want their thumbnail animated (Just don't expect it to be extraordinary) and if I find time to do them. ]]></description>

I'm so glad that TBX is finally finished with that part because I don't remember the last time I had so many headaches from thinking so hard. But now I have to paint him. This should be interesting because my crappy mouse sometimes likes to disagree with the direction I move it. I have no clue when TBX is going to get finished ]]></description>

I can't draw much in the summer for some reason. I think it's because I have too much free time and I usually draw the best when I'm short of free time and should be doing home work. That doesn't make much sense does it?<br />
<br />
Got paid the other day for doing some construction work so I can finally go buy myself a tablet and start practicing with it. I'll probably get a 6x8 Wacom Graphire 3. It's not the best, but I've seen people on deviantart who get along just fine with them. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ It was an eventful day and I haven't typed up a journal in a while so here we go....<br />
<br />
Today was an odd day. I woke up got dressed and headed for my grandpa's farm (That's what I do most of the summer). While biking to my grandpa's farm, I near get hit by a flying turkey (they not very graceful flyers).<br />
<br />
When I arrive at my Grandpa's house I have to side rake the hay (rolling long strips of hay over so it dries on the bottum. Its not exciting but at least I get to use heavy equipment <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/aww.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":aww:" title="Aww" /> ) <br />
<br />
Nest We get the baler ready. ( I hate baling hay. It is the most aweful task ever conceived by man.) A baler squishes hay into a cube like shape about the twice the size of of a microwave. The bales of hay are then launched, out of the back of the baler, with enough force to throw the 40 pound cube trought the air like it was football. The bale lands on a wagon. (The naxt part is what I hate) then the wagons are carefully unloaded by hand ( I hate that because its like trying to move a 40 pound hedgehog. It's hot, sweaty, hard work. And you get cover with little bits hay which can really make you itch really bad if your not used to it.)<br />
<br />
(Don't worry I'm getting to the interesting part...   ... I hope)<br />
<br />
My nest task is to take the baler and make hay bales (Yay <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/w00t.gif" width="23" height="23" alt=":w00t:" title="w00t!" /> I get to use really heavy equipment). So I go out into the field and discover one very important metal shaft is snapped in two. So I take the baler home (That's what I call my grandpa's farm even though I don't live there) and make a new shaft ( I'm very good with tools). I get that fixed and go back out to the field where more trouble is waiting for me. I didn't have the baler set up right so the baler was either spitting out really heavy bales or the bales busted (which is like a small explosion of hay and it makes a huge mess <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /> ). I made a mess of that field for a while, but I managed to get the baler adjusted properly. Not too long after that, part of drive shaft busted. I was moving along when all of a sudden I saw a chunk of something, flying through the air. It was immediately followed by the sound of the drive shaft flying of the machine while still spinning at 540 rotations a minute (which is really really fast). I was of course scrambling to shut the machine down. So now I my grandpa I have to wait until monday to get the replacement part. I hope doesn't rain by then (because wet hay bales rot and can start fires. I'm serious, they can start huge fires).<br />
<br />
So that was my day.<br />
<br />
(I apologize if this story bores you)<br />
(I also apologize for the excessive explainations. I wasn't sure how much you people knew about farming)<br />
<br />
I guess it was just one of those days...  ... but a bad day at the farm is still better than a good day at school.   <br />
<br />
I just wanted to share a little piece of my life with you. ]]></description>

The ink  smudged on a few and the damage is  minor, but others were not so lucky.  The ink bled the ink and the pics will  have to be done. Looks like I will be  doing a few of them over. Oh well, a  few of them need to be redone anyway. <br />

                <description><![CDATA[ I'm really pooped out from this  weekend. I picked stones out of my  grandpa's fields on Saturday and got a  nasty sunburn on the back of my neck  and on my forearms. I'd be fine if my  sister would stop rubbing on my neck. I  went back to my grandpa's farm on  Sunday and helped him plant corn. The  fields were really dry so the air was  thick with dust. The dust gets  everywhere, on your equipment, on your  boots and clothes and on yourself. I  was just covered in dust after I came  out of the field.<br />
The good news is that I should have new  drawing scanned in Wednesday and they  should be posted by the end of the  week. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/w00t.gif" width="23" height="23" alt=":w00t:" title="w00t!" /><br />

                <description><![CDATA[ I didn't sleep well this week end.  Friday night I went to youth activity  meet for the club that I'm in (I don't  know why I'm still a member). It was an  over night activity and so I brought my  computer to play DVDs (My computer's  graphics card can plug into TVs). I  played some games and watched part of a  DVD before most of the kids went to  sleep. So I went in another room with  my friends and we surfed on Devianart  until 3:00 am. I went to bed and was  awaked at 5:00 am to go eat breakfast.  I was very wobbly for most of the  morning. I go home for a little while  and then go to my grandpa's house to  help him with farm work. My grandpa  wants me to till up one of the fields  while he fertilizes another. So he puts  me on one of the largest tractors he  owns. Opperating heavy machinery with 2  hours sleep is challenging, but with  the the radio at full blast on my  favorite rock station, I was able to  stay awake. I come home and don't get  to bed until midnight because of  computer problems. Then on Sunday I was  up until 12:00 am trying to get some  sketching done.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Last Night I went to the Madison Area  Technical College's portfolio show to  see what the animation program was  like. At first I thought I was never  going to be able to do same quality of  work as some of the students there. I  started talking to one and he said when  he entered the program he couldn't draw  at all (he has some fantastic drawings  now), but they teach you how to draw  starting from the basics. I talked to  the other students and they said  similar things. I was a little relieved  to hear this (I think I might be able  to handle the program). I talked with  one of the students about drawing  tablets and he said he used his every  day in college so I going to save up  and buy a tablet (Wacom Intuos3 6x8).  Then I talked to the instructor. He  said I told me I should start drawing  my charachters so they look like they  are real and less like anime charcters  (So my drawing style might have to  change). He gave me some good advice  and a few tips. He also told me I  should start building up a library of  books, magazines, and images to use as  reference for my drawings. <br />
<br />
So, I learned that I really need a  tablet and I need to change my style a  little bit.<br />

See you later<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ My computer is up and running again  (I'm so happy). Now that I reformated  my computer recognizes my burner drive  (It stopped recognizing it for unkown  reasons a few months ago). Now I have  to move my files on to my first  harddrive again, but I'm happy.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ I might not be around here for the next  day or so. I have to reformat my  computer (erase harddrive and start  over, for those that don't know what  reformatting is). Luckily I have a  second hard drive that will carry my  drawings and games until the first one  becomes functional again. I hope this  works. Wish me luck, because I'm going  to need it.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ What an interesting day. It didn't  start out well because i could get any  of my scanners at home from working,  but it won't stop me because I have  access to yet another scanner (I can  only use it once a week though). The  day ended well. I chatted with a few  people and made a friend. ]]></description>
