                <description><![CDATA[ I find myself constantly wishing there were more hours in the day, just so I'd have time to stay true to my old routines while tacking on additional responsibilities that life seems compelled to throw my way.<br /><br />Well, I've been attacking the Sookie Stackhouse series. If you aren't familiar with the series, it basically falls under the category of "southern vampire mystery." More importantly it has a jocose, tongue-in-cheek undercurrent that keeps the books from falling into the typical dark, brooding trammels most vampire books align themselves to. Since I've been waiting over a week for the next book I've put on hold to come in (why can't people return library books within their due dates), I've resorted to watching the True Blood series. For those of you not in the know, that's the HBO series that is based off of the Sookie Stackhouse books. The book-to-screen transition is actually done pretty well--much better than I thought it would have--with some additional situations thrown in from other characters' perspectives.<br /><br />Aside from that things are going well. I have school, a job, an apartment, my hobbies and my friends. The only other thing I need is a girlfriend then I think I can be considered to be well-rounded individual.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I went to do the meme/feature 3 deviations from everyone who commented on my last journal but it turns out I need a subscribed account to actually post thumbnails in my journals. Fie! thwarted again, deviantArt. Apparently this is a meme formed for the amusement of the higher echelons of dA. I bookmarked everyone who participated, though, for when I am able to do it because I'm still dedicated to seeing this through to the end.<br /><br />Also, I randomly uploaded an assortment of music for anyone who could use some new music. It's an assortment of electronica, classical and combinations of the two (The Flashbulb and Vospi are particularly tasty!). Here's the tracklist, enjoi!:<br /><br />1. cornandbeans - The Sewers (4:25)<br />2. Bond - Explosive (3:08)<br />3. Bond - Winter (5:42)<br />4. Infected Mushroom - Frog Machine (6:10)<br />5. Infected Mushroom - Suliman (6:11)<br />6. m1dy - Freedom (5:31)<br />7. m1dy - Innocent (3:16)<br />8. Motorcycle - As The Rush Comes (11:27)<br />9. Scissorkicks & Sgt. Rock - Seoul Warfare (6:22)<br />10. Tatsh - Zenius-I-Vanisher (2:17)<br />11. The Flashbulb - Amber Shores (3:17)<br />12. The Flashbulb - Passage D (2:00)<br />13. Virkato - Scorpion Fire (8:01)<br />14. Vospi - Etude Du Soleil De Matin (2:40)<br />15. Vospi - Waltz of Melted Snow (2:23)<br /><br />Total size: 90mb<br /><br />Link: <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://sharebee.com/ada9faf7#">[link]</a><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Like the title says! (looking for an excuse to update the ol' journal, since i never do because most of my earnest blogging goes down on livejournal where people who specifically want to know what's going on with my life will watch--in contrast to deviantart, where people watch me first and foremost for my arts, which i have not been doing much of lately much to my and certain others' chagrin; but it is odd since i'm on winter break now and have over a month to draw but i haven't been making much of the time because of having a life (aka work, chums and video games--oops, video games don't constitute having life, yet they are the stuff of life--how odd); but hopefully things will slow down because art is what i do best and the feeling one gets after drawing a pretty thing is akin to what i imagine a mother feels after looking down to the child she's conceived and knowing she's brought something beautiful into the world but that's just a guestimate because i've never asked a mother who also draws to compare what they felt upon creating a drawing and child although the option is certainly there because i do know some parents who're also artists (sorry, "drawer," since artist is a word some people seem to try and avoid) but no matter i am rambling on and on and on like this is stream of consciousness like a Faulker book like "the sound and the fury" which i did attempt to read once but gave up after the first twenty pages because i got utterly lost--another saddening thing because english is also another of my fortes just like art is but in this case i failed; yes, failed, like failure, as in what this entry is filled withAHHHH! gonna stop now... you will be baked... and then there will cake ~bows~)<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Only people can inspire me to get back into doing art again like this. I used to think that about music, also, but it's more like a lubricant to make the process run more efficiently--people are the source of it all, though. So, people I've recently met have gotten my creative wheels spinning again.<br /><br />I've also been fooling around with tattoo designs, for other people and myself. I'm not tattooed yet (and have no immediate plans to be), but somewhere down the road it'll happen.<br /><br />I feel slightly foolish/guilty, making journal entries on dA like I expect people to care when I'm not even on here enough to be able to keep up with other peoples' journals, affairs and work. Sorry?<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ After a year of having drawn nothing IÂve finally gotten a spark of inspiration. My newest idea is a bit of a departure from what I usually do (e.g. abstract/surreal ink drawings). Basically, I want to draw in pencil a series of womenÂs breasts. Specifically, IÂd want to do a series where the subject is in various positions, possibly with shadows playing across the anterior portion of their torso. A year ago someone modeled for me and I briefly did a sketch, which, unfortunately, I never <i>did</i> get to finish. No lighting was taken, no background drawn out and depressions and other details around the torso never got filled in etc. Regardless, I liked how it turned out and recently I realized this has potential for greatness. This is a departure for three reasons: 1) I seldom draw people, 2) I seldom do pencil work anymore and 3) I would be using models, as the very idea of drawing from photographs is preposterous.<br /><br />There are some problems, naturally. I donÂt exactly have a studio, so finding a room for the modeling to take place is an issue. Also, I donÂt have lamps for making strong, dynamic shadows and lighting. Lastly, finding a model/s will be tricky since IÂm unwilling to pay anyone to model and IÂm sure most people would have cold feet about posing topless. That IÂm not an art student will make convincing people my intentions are purely artistic difficult. I can easily acquire lamps, and IÂm sure between the model and I a place can be found. As for finding a model, IÂve come up with three ideas:<br />1)	ask any friends that I think would comply<br />2)	ask one of the art professors at my school for advice<br />3)	put flyers up w/ contact info<br /><br />My school does have open drawing sessions with nude models, which under normal circumstances would be fine, but there are specific poses that I want and I wouldn't be able to get close enough to the model to focus on just their torso.<br /><br />If and when I do get around to starting this series I may try another series, this time focused on the backs of women. It just depends on whether IÂm still interested or not, but  backs do have an alluring quality to them. Imagine: the subtle contours around the shoulder blades, and the shallow trough of the vertebral column. The curvature of the spine as it first dips inward, then swoops back out toward the bottom. A steady cascade of bumps fall along the center of the back, each marking a vertebrae. This "waterfall" crashes at the sacrum, fanning out into a wide depression the shape of a butterfly. On the right person a back can be amazingly aesthetic!<br /><br />It's a long shot, but if any of you are interested (or know someone who would be) and live reasonably close to me (I live in Northeast Ohio), let me know. For the torso series I really have no preference as far as a personÂs size/shape/whatever goes. Just be 18+.<br /><br />Cross-posted to my LJ.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Going through my sociology textbook I read about a family (note: a family, not an individual) in Ethiopia that lives off $130 a year. The reason isn't even laziness; together the mother and father each work 80 hours a week, and that's while "supporting" seven children.<br />
<br />
I sit back and mull over this for a few moments. I look at my own situation, that I make almost <i>twice</i> that in <i>one</i> day of work. It just amazes me how differently other parts of the world are stratified. Simply amazing.<br />
<br />
Anyway. I changed my signature to something new and refreshing for me. It's supposed to make looking for new art easier for others as well as myself.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

Not much else is new.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Last night I did not get to brush my teeth or take a shower. Now, I get bad enough morning mouth even when I <i>do</i> get to brush before going to bed, and I feel grimy enough even <i>after</i> I wake up after a shower. So let's just say this morning is not starting out well.<br />
<br />
I've been virtually off the dA radar these last few months, but aside from starting a relationship with the lovely Ms. Deanna not much has happened. Well, I finished the Harry Potter series. I'm starting to read Dean Koontz again ("By the Light of the Moon"). I bought a PS3. I changed my major to nursing and enrolled in Kent's honors college. Hrm, and I think that's it.<br />
<br />
But! I miss dA and the forums and the folks in the forums and the folks outside of the forums so I'll be making an effort to get back into the dA way of things, especially next week, when school starts and I have the internet again (i virtually didn't at home). So... I hope y'all are safe and healthy.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ As I mentioned in my LJ, it's reeeeaaaaally cold out right now. Someone said the wind chill is -20-something. Yeah, it's bad.<br />
<br />
After having taken a semester off last Fall I am back in school. One would think that because of that I'd most certainly have no time to draw, but such is not the case! Since I'm being unsocial, I have only my classes and homework to keep me busy. I actually have lots of free time on my hands. AND the school has scanners available to its students, so that's one less obstacle out of the way. I'm not taking any art courses, though... I'd have to start at the fundamental levels, and those are scarcely conducive to creativity. No, I'll have to motivate myself. By the way, the classes I <i>am</i> taking are<br />
<br />
Art History I<br />
Comparative Religious Thought II<br />
Fundamental Math II, III, IV<br />
Human Evolution<br />
Literature in English I<br />
<br />
Simply riveting!<br />
<br />
Let me direct your attention to here: <a href="http://yesstyle.com/.">[link]</a> Beware: it'll drain you of all your money! I know... it has already gotten to me. But once your swag arrives in the mail it'll be like nothing ever happened.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ If any of you remember my avatar's "Christmas hat" (HA!) from last year, it just looked like a quarter of a pizza eating Mr. Miyavi's head.<br />
<br />
Well, I revamped that bad boy and here you have it! Jim's dA Christmas hat v2.0. It still gives off some pizza vibes, but I've come to accept that as unavoidable given certain... size limitations... making it impossible to include a full hat.<br />
<br />
So...<br />
<br />
I bought a Wii. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/bucktooth.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":bucktooth:" title="Bucktooth" /> Ah, the seasons!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

<br />
So, um, I'm planning on getting LASIK eye surgery.  Money aside, does anyone think this is a bad idea?<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ It was inevitable (but damn did it take a long time), but I finally got around to getting a Facebook.  You can find me here: <a href="http://lakelandcc.facebook.com/profile.php?id=211001726">[link]</a> Isn't that exciting?<br />
<br />
My New Year's resolution was to get back into drawing in a big way, but so far it seems I've been unfaithful to it.  But the drawing cravings are back (and I'm as without a scanner as ever before), so hopefully we'll see an update of some form from me... soon, hopefully? <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" />?<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Here i am, in NYC.  I have been so for the past week.  Many happenings, many sights seen, many manys.  Standing out from all the manys is Sylvia and I having gone to see Conan O'brien live last night.<br />
<br />
Sure, we had to get up at 5 in the morning and wait in a line for two hours in order to get stand-by tickets, but it was all worth it.  And we got free t-shirts.  There are people who stand in line for three hours to see David, and they don't even get shirts.<br />
<br />
I'll be here for another week, then it's back to the ol' Ohio routine.  I'm going to be so spoiled by the city by the time I get back, though. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Geeze, I've been randomly popping in and out of dA-land a lot lately.  Well, next week I'll be at a convention from the 15 to the 18th.  It's Anthrocon, for the record.  It'll be my first convention ever, so I'm not sure what to expect.  Though word on the street is that there will be something of a DDR tournament there.  Hmm.<br />
<br />
And then the 24th and 25th I'll be at a 'writer's conference' of sorts with Sylvia.<br />
<br />
And THEN, next month, I may be going to Starwood; Starwood being a five-day Pagan festival/gathering of sorts in New York.  I'm not Pagan, but Sylvia goes every year.  Besides, I want to be exposed to more cultures.<br />
<br />
And and and.  And I'll use an ID from now on.<br /><br />-<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ So yesterday was barrels o' fun!<br />
<br />
The past couple of days have been swelteringly hot and humid, with clear blue skies as far as the eye can see.  Before I went in to work I doublechecked to make sure that the skies were clear before rolling down my windows to aerate my car.  So naturally it started raining a couple hours later while I was in the library working. -,-<br />
<br />
Things like that don't bug me that much though.  Actually, our library has these "roundtable" meetings where the 'suits' come down and talk to us about the library's financial situation and changes in policy.  These only happen about twice a year, and of course we had one (we're required to go to them) yesterday, right after work, thus postponing any intervention by me to save my car's interior from the rain. -,- -,-  It was funny though, there were 32 women ages 40 to 70 at the 'meeting', and then me: the only male, the only teenager.  At least there was dessert consisting of ice cream cake, brownies, cherry strudel, and banana and key lime pie.<br />
<br />
I checked my bank statement later on today, and what do I see?  Digits in the <i>negatives</i>. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/o/ohmygod.gif" width="26" height="18" alt=":ohmygod:" title="OMG!" />  But luckily my paycheck was automatically sent to my bank account yesterday, so I see that my balance has returned to the POSTITIVES!  But wait, soon after I'm hit with an overdrafting charge of 30-some dollars, dragging me back into the negatives.  Now, according to my statement, I made all these various transactions Tuesday, which is what resulted in my overdrafting.  But I didn't use my card on anything Tuesday.  Well, suffice to say, I went to the bank and they told me that these were merely transcactions that I had made over the weekend that didn't actually get processed until after Memorial Day.  Well, all right, I understand that.  But whenever I'd check my account balance (something I do frequently, as I'm paranoid), it never told me that I had all these transactions pending over the weekend.  Every other time it HAS so that I'd know what my balance would be after they go through.  But not this time.  I had no idea my balance would be in the negatives after these transactions went through.  And had I known, I would've found some way to deposit enough money in it so that it wouldn't be in the negatives after the transactions were done pending.  And THEN I wouldn't've been charged a fee.  Well, if that didn't totally confuse you then you get a medal.<br />
<br />
I'm planning on going back to the bank this Friday when the manager there will actually be present to see if I can at least pay the overdraft fee at <i>a later date</i> so that I'm at least not in the negatives and have something to pay for gas til my next paycheck.  Speaking of paychecks, we get paid every other week.  Oh joy.<br />
<br />
And on top of all that, my favorite pair of pants is starting to fall apart.<br />
<br />
I don't even want to ask my parents for any kind of help, financially.  I'm fiercely independent when it comes to money, and that very well may be my downfall one day.  However, I don't think I have much choice this time... <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/hmm.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":hmm:" title="hmm" /><br />
<br />
Despite all that, I'm in a good and care-free mood right now.  I just know that somehow everything'll work out.<br /><br />-<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ I started working at the local library!  Geeze, but who would've known it could be so exhausting, though.<br />
<br />
I'm nearing my 4,000th pageview.  There's something about the number 4 that really puts me at ease, so I foresee good times.<br />
<br />
I wonder when I'll put up another drawing...<br />
<br />
I also wonder how difficult it'd be to go a week without using the word 'I'.<br /><br />-<br />

<br />
Here are five weird things about me that you do NOT know:<br />
<br />
1. I sleep in the buff.<br />
<br />
2. I have major problems deciding where I want to eat.  It can take me up to ten minutes just to decide whether I want to go to Chipotle or Subway.<br />
<br />
3. I'm secretly considering switching my major to psychology.<br />
<br />
4. Either my legs are of different length or I walk oddly.  I know this because on all my pants, the bottoms on the right pant leg will be scuffed and tattered, and the bottoms on the left leg will be fine.<br />
<br />
5. My guilty pleasure is to enjoy listening to Morning Musume. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />

And it's all thanks to <a href="http://motchi.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/m/o/motchi.gif" width="50" height="50" alt="" title="motchi" /></a> and her awesomeness. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/n/nod.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":nod:" title="Nod" /><br />
<br />
I laugh softly and wipe a tear away (no, it's really an eyelash!) as I bid my old ~ adieu after having been with it for so many years, and welcome the asterick to reside next to my username.  But only for a short while!...  </mystery><br /><br /> ]]></description>

<b>15 years ago</b><br />
I was four years old?  Umm, I was probably sitting in daycare, picking my nose.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>10 years ago</b><br />
Nine years old?  I think I was in fourth grade, which was around the time when these older, fifth grade girls were terrorizing me by acting like they were going to kiss me. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=(" title="=( (Sad)" /><br />
<br />
<br />
<b>5 years ago</b><br />
 14 years old!  Ninth grade!  Woo, a horrible time for me... I had little to no friends, I had an identity crisis (tried being gothic <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/r/rolleyes.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":roll:" title="Roll Eyes" />), and I developed my first serious crush, which was a real learning experience.  But around this time I had already gotten over the girl, and started talking to Alyson, whom is currently one of my most awesome friends.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>2 years ago</b><br />
11th grade, around this time of year... I had a huge falling out with a very good friend of mine.  We eventually started talking again, and all is well now!<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>1 year ago</b><br />
Err, yeah.  I remember it was around a week after Valentines Day that <i>she</i> fell into my life.  <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/e/eek.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":O" title=":O (Eek)" /><br />

I was mindlessly playing one day, and AAAed Quasar without thinking I would!  Wow! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/e/excited.gif" width="23" height="19" alt=":excited:" title="OMG!

                <description><![CDATA[ As it turns out, my art class consists of doing still lifes.  And only still lifes.  Yeah, how riveting.  So I'm thinking about dropping it... <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" />?  Yes, even though one of my funnest friends is in it with me... <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/hmm.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":hmm:" title="hmm" /><br />
<br />
I've also acquired some cash, so I'm looking into stuff to upgrade my computer with.  Hooray!.  I'm looking for a new monitor (an lcd one to replace my crt... wow, what a difference in picture quality), sound card, memory, <b>and a scanner.</b> <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/w00t.gif" width="23" height="23" alt=":w00t:" title="w00t!" /><br />
<br />
Deciding to take Adolescent Psychology was the wisest thing I could've done.  And Intro to Philosophy!  And Intro to Fiction!!  I love them all!!!  I'd love Art Drawing I also, but it's blegh.  Such is life though.<br />
<br />
I finally purchased my first Miyavi cd.  I've been using this avatar on dA and AIM for aeons, and now I actually know what the music he makes sounds like.<br />
<br />
Ah, so much to do. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I've decided that I truly do want to get back into art.  Or at <i>least</i> not lose <i>touch</i> with it.  When I draw something that looks pretty or neat, I can actually feel proud of myself knowing it's something I made myself; with my own hands.  It's just something I don't want to let slip away.<br />
<br />
<b>But</b>.<br />
<br />
I'll have to get rid of that big 'ole sketchbook that I recently got.  It's too unwieldy and big for me... I just don't feel comfortable with it.  So I'm gonna go back to Micheals and get a new sketchbook; but it'll be the same kind as my old, old one.  I'll still try to branch out into different mediums though.  I'll have to get prisma markers and coloured pencils though.  And a new scanner... err, I can't keep bumming scans off my friends ¬¬ <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/hmm.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":hmm:" title="hmm" /><br />
<br />
Speaking of which, I'll probably have to rescan all the recent stuff I've uploaded.  I resized them wrong, and most of them turned out coarse and grainy... not smooth, dark, and detailed like my earlier scans.  So I'll have to get a new scanner as well (since my old one died on me... but that's old news).<br />
<br />
I just hope I have enough time to really indulge in all this next semester since I'll be juggling school, a job, and trying to have a social life all at the same time.<br />
<br />
And that's all she wrote.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ So, after being here for two years I'm starting to take an interest in the DA community.  I don't know what has spurred this though... most likely the chance I got to scan my artwork and start posting stuff again.  I'd feel a little -too- much like a hermit if I just remained a 'lurker' forever.  Besides, I've been keeping my art on here for so long... I should at least give back in some form.<br />
<br />
Since I'm not in any art classes, I have to actually motivate myself to draw.  And that isn't something that comes very easily for me.  BUT I'M MAKING AN EFFORT <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" />  I filled up my old sketchbook.  That thing is priceless to me... there are just so many emotions, memories, and inside jokes in it.<br />
<br />
But I've started a new sketchbook.  It feels different and alien to me.  It doesn't fit neatly with my other books when I carry it around, and it just seems so enormous and empty.  The old sketchbook was torn, falling apart, creased in odd places, yellowing... but it felt familiar to me.  But for the new sketchbook I'm going to try and take things in a new direction.  I've only done one complete piece in it.  Will anyone notice a different between the new and old?  Who knows.  But it's getting late, and there is wretched schoolwork that needs doing.  Ciao! ]]></description>
