By the way, that's talking about me, and Kayden who died in April.

What do you think of it? slander or a plus?

Ask Father Jack what he'd say to a lovely cup...

Anyway, just to say that things are going pretty well, comparing to other times I've updated. I'm just stood here updating this with stood beside me playing around on his DS!

Anyway, just to say that my choppers are available for sale. Got bored of them, along with crashing one earlier! decided it's time for them to move on and work on other project bikes.

Catch you all around, I think you should all look at the Youtube video! it's brilliant!

Yesterday, I was diagnosed with having Asperger's Syndrome.. Guess that shows why I'm gone in the head! SOOOOO! I'm likely to not be around a lot on here much more, I've got a lot of things to work on, especially having the obsessive compulsive clearing up, and my strange obsession with bikes, along with talking about general shit that nobody is interested in, or loses interest very quickly.

I may be back at some point, I'm going to go and work with my Raleigh chopper for quite a bit. I'll still be available through email, or my website (going to put a forum on there if anyone wants to come and join me there to be able to keep regular contact)

[link]

I'll have a forum running in the next few hours I should think..

Take care people!

Anyway, just thought that I'd drop a journal on my dA to say that I am still alive, just taken up a lot of the time with working on my little boat, Isabelle.

As you may have already read from the post itself, I'm considering that if the costs aren't too bad for it, building canoes for a bit of a hobby at first, then working on it to become a possible business opportunity for me. I've got a second canoe like Isabelle, her sister ship, which was more structurally sound that Isabelle was when I got them both, but it may make a perfect mould for creating glass fibre shells, carbon fibre shells and even just canvas & poly-resin shells.

I'm not so much in to the art any more, just down to the more demanding and more practical things to do with spare time. Can't be bothered with bikes any more, they bore the shit out of me! XD

I'm going to get off for now, I need to deliver a pushbike across town, then I need to put a few more things on my project before setting to bed for the night!

I am always available on MSN messenger, as I use my cell phone for it! If you like, and would like to talk with me in person, my addy is: nobodyelsehasthisaddresslol@hotmail.co.uk

Take care people! Hope to talk to you all soon!

Anyway, since I've last updated here, I've put myself together a new bike, built on a custom painted Kawasaki green Specialized P3, I've named it the flying bogey.. for obvious reasons XD

I've also launched my own computer support forum & blog, [link] you're all welcome to join there and if you need support, just request it and I'll see what I, or my team can do to help you!

Not much more to really update with, nothing major has really happened, except a new bike and a new support forum XD

Anyway, now I've got myself a laptop, so I'm quite happy with everything and how things are going. I mean, now I've got a mobile thing with WiFi built in, I can finally get on the interweb more often!

Hopefully I'll have myself some more drawings and photos uploaded to my dA account at some point, I mean, as I got free interweb access at coffee shops and so on, I can do much more!

I hope everyone is well, and I'm hoping that I get to speak to my old friends again soon!

Nitestrider Out!.. For now! =3

Anyway, how is everyone doing?

Funeral is completely over, I'm now continuing with life and being happy with it, knowing that Kayden is in a better place.

I'm now back in to building my custom bikes, currently working on a "78 hussler (aka a rat rod) XD. been drawing too, yup yup, but any art I've done digitally is on my computer... that doesn't got interweb D
I will be trying to keep my dA up to date as often as I can now, but I can't do it very regularly now.. until my interwebz return! =O

Hope to update you all again soon!

Things are being quite tough in the world at the moment, for me anyway.

On December 18th 2008, my Fiancee gave birth prematurely to twins, Calleb John Cooke and Kayden Ian Cooke. I had a complete four months with all as a family, but sadly, on April 12th, easter sunday, Kayden passed away in his sleep.

I woke up in the morning, thinking that Kayden hadn't been crying for his early feed, and found him, cold and stiff, layed in the cot beside his brother. Reading Social Services have now stepped in and taken Calleb in to foster care, meaning I now may never see the remaining child that is left of the pair back as my son.

I won't be able to update anything on here for quite a while, as I now haven't got a home again. Got kicked out of where I was living when Kayden passed on. I will try to get on and keep things updated from time to time, dependant on if I get the opportunity to.

I hope all is well for everyone, and to all, take care, and live as if each day will be your last, as nobody can tell when it will happen.

Danny "Nitestrider" Cooke

Anyway, as I have got the chance to be on here, I thought I'd leave a little message to say I'm not quite dead yet! I'm still as alive as ever, but just been out of the way of interweb!

I'll try and update with stuff when I get the chance to!

Just a little message to say that I now have me a new job, I work for Kuhne & Nagel, picking packing and loading beers! =o

Anyway, I've not really got much to say at the moment, but have a look at my bro's deviantart

Last week I got run down by a car while I was out on my bike, it's destroyed, but luckily I'm in one piece. No broken bones! just cuts and bruises!

Just quite annoyed that my project bike got squished! I spent nearly £1,000 on it! D=

Anyway, the useful parts are now up for sale on ebay, they may be of use to people who want or need them, I don't got a use for them no more XD

I'm just having thoughts about wether to rebuild my chopper or not, I'd like to, but I don't know if I should, I mean, it caused problems before, but I don't know if I want it to cause crap to me again XD

Anyway, I'm going to get back to stripping the remainders of my bike down, I don't want any of it laying around, don't want no memories of it no more

I'm not going to be on dA very much for the time being, as I don't have a computer, let alone a house at the moment. I'm "sofa surfing" at friend's places and sleeping wherever I can.

For the past week I've been sleeping under a bridge, it's pretty comfy there!

And yes, I'm homeless, jobless and single.. got to love it though, life is finally great agagin! got my own free spirit to spend time doing as I like when I like. All because of Leanne did I lose everything I owned, including a lot of my wages in the bank...

Anyway, better get off of here, need to sleep as much as I can, got to be up and about looking for work and somewhere to live permanenly, 'specially if I got friends coming to visit for the summer.

Anywho, I've now started to do a lot more still life works and vector art on photoshop, More abstract than anything else I've ever done, and none of my old works will be coming back onto here. I want to get rid of the past.

Plus at the moment, I'd be a little fackered to draw anything good, I got in an accident the other week and broke my hand.. Painful stuff, waiting to hear if I have to go into the hospital for an operation, I've been told it may need to b e re-broken and pinned, will stop me working for a few months, but 'tis all good

I've worked long and hard on photography over the past few months, and will sometimes submit photos I have taken over this time, including band photos and so on.

I'm not so much into doing anthro art much any more, but band photography is the way I've been keeping myself sane.

I now have a full time job, working from 11 - 8 every day! It's a hel of a shit to keep doing it every day, but I love it! I can wear my metallica gear to work, race around the warehouse on the pallet trucks (the big hydraulic pump trucks that can lift a pallet of shit over a tonne in weight!) and have as many breaks as I like!

All of that, and I still get £6.08 an hour, even if it only means taking a couple of TV's out to cars and crap like that. But hell.. you'd probably have more chance of catching me sat out the back, or napping on the pallet truck

Can't complain at all for £230 a week XD

I love my new job, and I'm sorry if I've not spoke to any of you in a while, but I've been obsessed with playing Gunbound again...

I'm not going to bother with dA anymore. I've got more of a life to look forward to and to try and get myself out of debt rather than hanging on the internet all day, taking photos of random shit and stuff like that...

I thought that my first new dA journal should be about what I've been doing lately.

A few days ago, I got my girlfriend a couple of pet fish. Of course, with both of our mentality, she decided to call her fish "chip" so I called mine "fish" so we now have a pair of goldfish called Fish and Chips XD

Yesterday, I got her three more, a black bubble eye, a gold fantail and a spotty dirty looking goldfish. They are all getting on purty well from what I can tell, and they are all up eachother's backsides. By that, I mean that they chase eachother around XD.

Last night was FUCKING-A!

Leanne and I went to the Face Bar to see National Chaos play in the B.O.T.B finals. We both got completely hammered and were moshing like hell in the pit. There was a band on playing called Blackout. We're hiring them for a party we're throwing soon!

Gee, I really can't believe the alcohol I consumed! a liter of Jack and 7 beers! But it all ended up being a good night after all!

This afternoon, on the other hand, me and my guitarist, Reuben, were diving off of walls and stuff into bushes. Sure, it hurt a bit, but it was also pretty awesome. Obviously, we were under the influence of alcohol again, and were pumped up to have a great time, so we did!

Anyway, I'd better shoot off to bed. I'm off for a job interview in a couple days! could be earning over £1,200 a month!

With that income, and what we're earning from the band, life is becoming purty sweet!

Catch all of yous out there in TV land a bit later!

We drove down to Devon to board British Steel, my girlfriend's dad's yacht, which was sailed the "wrong way round the globe" by Chay Blyth back in the 70's. When we arrived, it was quite late, so we pumped the dinghy up and headed out to the boat.

The morning after, we were all up bright and early, and it was all hands on deck to get preporations done for sailing to France. We had to paint the deck, get the engine running, get everything prepared and get all the course and everything set for leaving two days later.

Everything was plain sailing up to the morning when we had to leave. We were all awake by 3:30am ready to sail at 4:30. All the sails were set up and everything was ready to go. We set sail around 10 minutes earlier than we first expected.

All was going well, and I was sat on the helm, steering the yacht along with my GF's dad on watch, keeping it on course while the rest of the crew were sleeping ready for thier shifts. But then things started to turn messy.

We were hot by near gale force winds, almost capsizing the yacht, due to us having the sails up to take a low volume of wind. At that point, I damn near shat my pants and had to let someone else take over the helm.

About 2 hours after hitting the heavy weather, we suddenly had a strange noise coming from the engine. Then we lost power to the engone completely.. we were stuck travelling under sail power in gale force winds and heavy weater.

After that point, I had to get some sleep. I was tired and the way the boat was being thrown about made me feel badly ill. I was woken up about 5 hours later by the sound of our skipper calling the coastguard for an emergency lifeboat launch. "St. Peter's Port coastguard, come in St. Peter's Port coastguard. This is British Steel, British Steel. We are in difficulty approcimately 25 miles off of the coast of Gurnsey and we need a tow in." is all I heard over the radio. At this point, we were being hit by 6 meter tall waves, that were going over the bow of the boat and rolling all the way down the deck.

It was 9:20pm before the lifeboat was launched and heading for our location, but once the boat arrived, everyone was very relieved that we were in safe hands, But there was still another hour of being pulled to shore through the waves before we were completely safe.

Once we got into St. Peter's Port, Gurnsey, There was an ambulance and paramedics awaiting us. They were aboard the yacht the second we were moored up. My girlfriend was rushed into hospital due to not being able to even stand up. She had severe dehydration and nausea due to sea sickness, and was most upset about getting a needle in her ass!

Everything was better when we all awoke the next morning. THe sea was calm, but there were still storms coming in towards us. So we went onto land and had a full fried breakfast and a long hot shower. That was the highlight of arriving there. The breakfast was the best thing I've tasted in ages, especially after what we went through.

All the maintainance work was done on the engine to get us back home, and weset sail home a week later, without managing to get to France.

Things didn't stop going bad there.....

On the way back up the Gurnsey coast, we were cruising at a reasonable 6 knots, due to no wind and not having any sails up. I was at the helm again, when I saw a crab pot coming up towards us, dead in front of us. I had to throw the boat around it to prevent getting rope tangled on our propellor, but I got away with that.

As we went into calmer waters, I put the power up on the engine a little so we could go a bot faster and all was going well, when all of a sudden there was a loud hissing noise. British Steel had blown a hydraulic hose, which makes the gearbox work on her, so we lost engine power once again. We had to anchor the yacht 3 miles off of the coast of Gurnsey and head inland on the Dinghy to get a new hydraulic hose and some new hydraulic oil.

5 hours later, we were back on the yacht, engine going, and moving again. The the electrics went on board the boat, so we only had radar, lights and the compass to get us home, but we made it and succeeded in our voyage.

We then arrived back into Dartmouth to stay for the regatta, and that was damn amazing.

I think this is all for now, and I'll try to upload some new pics soon.

Apart from that, I'm living at my girlfriend's dad's house at the moment, should have my own place soon!

Hope everyone is ok!

Nitestrider Out!

Off for at least 3 weeks, and will be sailing over on a 60ft yacht. Going to be working on the boat too and getting payed for it!

I'll catch you all whenever I get back, and if I even bother coming on the compy again.

Bye!

I'm going to be moving out of this shitheap of a house in around 3 weeks. I've had enough of the mental torture and threats I'm getting from my entire family, and all because I got into debt to get away from the UK for a couple weeks.

Apart from that, things are going really well with other stuff, apart from a job. That's one thing I'm lacking in having...

I got given a 30 year old bass guitar to use until I get enough money saved up to buy myself a new one, but I've already got very attatched to this bass in the time I've had it. It's Leanne's dad's bass that he was given by a friend, and has been sat in the garden shed for over 20 years. I've got my hands on it and it's back in a working condition within 24 hours. I'll throw a pic up here sometime soon if I can even be bothered to.

I've been playing acoustic guitar today, trying to get an idea of what we're going to be playing in January, at the biggest arts venue here in Reading. I'm going to be playing on stage at The Hexagon with the band, and will be playing Metallica - Nothing Else Matters to get us all started up ready to play.

There's a lot of work yet to be done with the band, and I've got to see how well the others can play before we start taking on even bigger steps to start making money from our music. We've got the thought in mind to keep the band going through thick and thin times, and will hopefully be up there in the top of the charts some time soon.

I'll possibly update some time again soon whenever I can be bothered to.

Later people...

I've not had any work for the past few days and my mother is really starting to make my life hell again, but blah, shit happens.

anyway, watch this and enjoy

I'M GOING TO RECON ON TEH 17th!

Yep, I'm taking Leanne to an Anime con in town. We're both looking forward to it, and we're more than looking forward to going to her sister's b-day party in a few days.

We're also in a band together, Return of Anarchy. I'm... guess what.. the bassist, and even better, I'm also the backing vocalist, other times, I'm the lead vocalist and also do duets... due to the fact that I can sing higher notes than Leanne can XD

Anyway, I'm off to bed now.

Take care people, and remember, don't drink and drive...

My tablet is busted, the mouse doesn't work on my PC at all, I've got to use the keyboard to do everything, and doing that it takes hours XD

Today I played my first ever gig as a drummer for a band, and I'm never playing a gig again as a drummer... 'specially as the others were taking drugs then during our set, the vocalist threw his guitar and walked off the stage...

Anyway, me and my girlfriend are going to somethign called ReCon on the 17th. It's an anime con here in my town, looking forward to it.

Gonna go now, I need sleep.

Bye people.

My iCar dances to Caramell Dansen too! And please, nobody say that I've copied other people in listening to Caramell Dansen... I've known about it for ages and have had the mp3 for ages.

But anyway, that's my latest little toy. My iCar.

I have sincerely had enough of being told what to do, where to go, how to do everything... seriously enough.. The rebellion begins here.

From now on, nobody tells me what to do, nobody tells me where to go or whatever. It's my life and I'll live it my way.. nobody is going to tell me differently either.

Keep your smart ass remarks to yourselves, don't bother trying to put me down, don't even think of trying to start crap about me.. In all honesty, go ahead, I don't really care, I'm my own person now...

Ok, now onto a better subject


I've been applying for jobs all around town today, hopefully travelling all around everywhere while I work. I need to get a heck of a better job than what I'm doing now in order to get the ball rolling and get me out of this damn slump I'm in. Depression won't be my downfall this time!

Working tommorrow and in all honesty, I'm looking forward to it.. it will be great to get out of the house away from everything causing problems, It will be even better when I finish work, I'm going to be taking my bike team out and about, hopefully making a better name for us all.

Team Anarchy aren't going to be stopped... we're just going to grow!

I'm going to call an end to this journal,

Later everyone.

Mika Out!

My bike has been repaired and back on the road, it kinda hurts a bit to ride at the moment, and I've got to keep my knee bandaged up to stop it bleeding and covering my trousers in green goo stuffs, but I'm pretty pleased that I can still ride =3

I put a picture up here so that you can all see what my bike did to the road, and there's also the skid mark from the car that hit me, then went round me in the road, driving off and leaving me there... what an asshat, eh? =/

Anyway, better jet off to bed, got to be at work for 7am tomorrow morning.

Night all!

The latest picture of my red bike is going to be the last aswell.. I got wiped out on the way home from work today...

The back wheel is completely fucked, the brake levers are completely destroyed, the rear axle is bent, also taking the hub and bearings with it, the area that the wheel clamps on to the frame is completely bent inwards, my rear gear is completely loose, the chain tentioner is broken in two, the bottom bracket is screwed and my pedals are completely fucked up...

not like anyone really cares anyway...
----

Edit:

I just went to my friend who repairs bikes, and my bike is a write off... the frame is also bent, so I have no way to get to work or anything now... woo!...

Anyone able to donate a couple of pounds towards me getting a new bike?... probably not, but eh...

I don't really have the time to draw my fursona that much anymore, and I've changed him. He now has black hair with red dyed tips to the bangs and turquoise eyes =3

I'm going to continue packing to move now.

I'm off into town shortly, gonna sell my bass amp, CD player and guitar bits. Don't need them any more as I don't really play my bass or anything, so I can use the money from them to upgrade my bike even more.

Like I've said to a few people already, I prefer to play drums now anyway, but I've got to be prepared to move house in around about a month. When I move, I'll be losing the internet probably for a months or so, but I'll get it back again.

Tonight I get to watch my amplifier cabinet burn! =o

Yeah, I'm taking the speakers out of it and burning the cabinet itself as I don't really need the cabinet any more either, and it's taking up a lot of space.

I should be back online this evening, once I've sold my stuff and ridden my bike for a while, so I'll talk to you all later.

Mika Out!

I'm highly considering taking my bike team pro, as we've all got experience in different types of riding, with me, mainly dirt and street riding, all the others doing varied things.

I have a few ideas that I was going to put here, but I don't really feel like typing much more tonight.

Yep, that's right, I have internet access here at home again, so I'm back on MSN once more, and uploading more art and pictures than ever before.

Welcome to the Nitestrider experience... don't poo-poo it before you've tried it... suck it and see >3

I'm still alive as you can all tell, but I'm free of the interweb, don't got it any more. I might consider getting it back in the future (all of you reading this who know how bad I am when it comes to the internet know that I'm going to be getting the interweb back again X3 )

Anyway, there's a new photo in my gallery, I'm not going to be doing anywhere near as much submission of my art from now on, it's not majorly appreciated, so I don't really need to upload it any more.

I've got a load of new styles, a lot more experiance and everything now with the art, but it's something that I do in my spare time, maybe I'll upload something for you all to see sometime soon.

A couple messages to everyone out there,

Jenny, I wish I could call you.. then you'd have ya darn butt talking to me >3

Nini, I miss talking with you too, and I can't text or call even if I wanted to. I gots a new phone and everything

anyway y'all,

Take Care!

My laptop will be gone in just under an hour, meaning there's no way back for a long time, as I'm not planning on getting a new computer for a while, the internet takes up too much of my life and I need to get out more.

I can never guarentee how long I'm going to be off for, but any of my friends that still want to keep in contact, send me a text, call me or send a letter =3

I'm just updating to say that I'm going to be leaving here and a lot of other sites for a while as I will be selling my laptop very soon.

I can't guarentee how long I will be off of the internet for, as I'm going to wait for a while and buy myself a computer.. laptops get annoying after a little while, as they are very limited to what they can do, and also they break a lot easier than a PC.

Once I've got a new PC together, I'll be back on MSN and all that stuff, but nowhere near as regular as before, as I've got my bike team to keep going, and a pretty regular job.

I'll have to add pictures of my two bikes once I've got a new PC and full on internet access. I'll upload a pic of the other guys in the team in a little while, but I've got no way to get a pic of my bikes up on here.

I hope that everyone's fine, and if you need to contact me, call me on +447981 235 129

This is all that you'll get from me for a while now, and if you have the need to contact me in between then, I'll be on MSN for the next 3 days or so.

Take care everyone, and hope to speak with you all soon.

Here's a small update from teh Nitey =o

I've started a new job! I've been doing it now for around 2 weeks, working for a company called Primrose London. Check the website out here: [link]

I'm working my way back to removing all of the debts off of my back, so that I am back to a standard life again. of course, we're still losing the house, but I'm trying the best that I can to get everything sorted so that I don't get kicked out.

Anyway, I'm only on lunch, so I'd better get back to work.

Take care y'all, and I hope everything is good with all of you =3

All for now!

Nitey luffs teh Wolfy <33333

Ok, so I'm updating my journal again.

It's taken another week before I've been able to get onto the internet, and I'm only on for a couple of hours, so I though I'd update.

I'm working hard at the moment to try and get as much money together as I can. Literally working as hard as I can. I'm only doing a couple hours of work today, but tomorrow and wednesday, I'll be working solid from 7:30am until whatever time I finish, even with a possibility of going over to Europe.

I'm doing a few days work for Austin Logistics, shifting stuff into and out of the back of a truck. It's only £5 an hour, but I'm looking at around abouts 8 hours a day minimum.

Another little bit of information... I've broke my phone again XD

I threw it yesterday and cracked the outer screen. Luckily the internal screen is still in one piece, so I'm going to have to replace the outer screen eventually.

I'm going to get off the internet for now D=

All for now.

Hello there peoples!

Here's an unexpected update from me, as I'm working at the computer shop again today =3

I'm currently working very hard to get everything sorted out as to how I want it to be, life isn't being very fair to me at the moment, but I'm working on trying to pull it all back.

My idea right now is to try and make as much money as I can doing whatever I can, and right now, for the past couple of days, I've been working here in the computer shop, firing through work so fast that I'm even making myself not believe that I'm doing it all. From fixing/stripping down laptops to installing operating systems on computers, it's getting completed in record time, meaning I have spare time to play around on my laptop for a little while.

Anyway, I've been considering selling my laptop, as I'm in desperate need of the money, but what's the point to that? it will just mean that I've got no way in hell of getting on the net at all, so I've decided against selling the laptop and keeping it until I can upgrade to something better.

Inotherwords, at the moment, any money that I can get ahold of is a life saver to me, as I'm planning on going to visit mah Nini as soon as I can. It's really important to me that I can get to go and see her as soon as I can, it's killing me to be alone all the time.

Right, as things go now, I could have had access to the internet again yesterday, costing me only £14 a month, but sadly, the service provider doesn't cover my area, so I'm still only able to get online at certain times.

I'm going to get off of dA now, and get back to work, as I've got to try and make as much money as I can. I also know that it's hurting pretty bad to say this, but I've got my Nintendo DS Lite up for sale, with Burnout Legends and Asphalt Urban GT for £70 if anyone's interested.

I'll talk to you all later.

Nitestrider Out!
