What a loonnggg strange trip.
well, should really go about expressing my recent, though long term absence...

While drawing and submitting concepts to potential clients, I had been summoned to the door by a person questioning my disinterest in the voting process... I let her know that while I was in actuality interested, the laws governing such citizen rights, forbid me from participating, and so I would rather not be bothered at the moment, to which, she demanded a reason why i was not allowed to take part, I merely stated i was once incarcerated...

Two days later the management of the apartment complex demanded that I remove myself from the premises... And so, my grandfather and myself relocated to another state. During the relocation, my computer decided to heave it's last breath, and having found no work in my favored area of employment, i ended up working 12 hour days for minimum wages, at a temp service. Finally finding work, for six months i scrimped and saved but alas!

my quick relocation caused quite a stir and I was summoned back to the previous state for not having renewed my driver's license.
six months later i returned, worked again at a loss, but regained my previous employment, lasting another 6 months.

Anyway, I finally found some time and perhaps some positive in that i may draw and post some more stuff...

on the positive side of things, a cult asked me to join, well, they came to my door and announced their great plans, which btw, included me!!!
so I acquiesed and bid them enter, after fourty-five minutes, coffee all around, they finally realized that i really wasn't their sort of conscript, and they bid a hasty retreat... told me that i was in peril, and in great need of faith... [i had explained to them that i was agnostic, they presumed i meant i perscribed to gnosticism, and fervently tried to save me from the wicked ways of gaul... I patiently explained that i was hiding from the inquisitors]

I finally got my laundry done, i had to wait for scan disc to finish, wow, three loads, what a chore that was... I did, the 'these are dirty' routine and glomped more soap in the washer... I had to run them again to get them rinsed though... troubling... i got three shiny new nickles, they are sooo purdy... a really neat change, i thought they were foreign at first... ]]> ~Jala-Akuri http://Jala-Akuri.deviantart.com/journal/2531688/ http://Jala-Akuri.deviantart.com/journal/2531688/ Fri, 28 May 2004 20:05:31 PDT
still I trudge along...

while at a local park, I was watching the character artists plying their trade, such an awkward form that is, i wondered aloud that if this 'crap' sells as artistic representation, i wonder haw anime would fare if given the same chance... the artist gave me a dirty look, and later on caught me in the parking lot... boy did I step in it that time, it took me about ten minutes of beratement until I got my answer, anime isn't real art , he said, it is nothing but cartoons... but I pressed on, I asked " why not? it gives alot more than required to the story, in one panel you have the jist of the emotion, even without it being translated, one can grasp the story!!!" he humphed and moved on, perhaps I should go to the mall of america and set up an anime portrait kiosk, then maybe it'll be taken seriously... can you imagine me trying this? they would laugh me out of there... ]]> ~Jala-Akuri http://Jala-Akuri.deviantart.com/journal/2433394/ http://Jala-Akuri.deviantart.com/journal/2433394/ Sat, 15 May 2004 09:23:55 PDT Yet, when confronted with the most inept, ridiculously retarded of systems, like my bank's pale production of online banking. This is horrible, not only does this open the doors of extreme greed, it also revolves the late-payment dial. Living within my means, consists of timing payments as an exact science, hopefully when balence due comes in, pasyments go out, in a timely fashion.

My bank likes to make payments prior to my wishes, by paying one day early, the two current ones cannot be dealt with, so I am charged for over draft, the payment made comes back because it is too early to accept payment and then I am charged with a returned check fee. pretty soon I expend all my pecuniary allowence on charges and have nothing to show, except mor charges from those whose payments were to have been dealt with on a timely basis!!!

Most recently, my telephone payment had been scheduled to be paid [i was in arrears, but that is not the point] on the date the company wanted it, the payment was made the following day, the company shut off my phone, I was certain that this was a mistake, so I went to a neighbor and was granted permission to phone the phone company, they responded that the had called repeatedly and sent many reminders to which I have yet to respond to, argh!!! I said I was certain that this matter was already addressed, and that could they look at the payment history...I was then released to the dial tone while they looked. I couldn't go online to see my account, so I didn't konw what was up. on my way back I stopped off at my post box, and was greeted with the phone company's missives, wonderful, all telling me that the service would be shut off, unless I posted my payment, and that they were willing to accept a payment by phone... now, without a phone, I was stumped. I decided to defrag my comp andd watch comedey central all night.
this morning I was awakened by the telephone, it was another collector looking for me, I said that i wasn't in at the moment, could I take a message, the power company was wondering where my monthly receipt was...

lo and behold!! my phone was on, I dialed into my banks orifice and found the payment made a day late,[no apology] an email, that they were experiencing tech problems, i copied this missive and sent it to the power company who sent a response that they do not have their system set up to respond to the email. I called the power company and they couldn't find my account but would call back when they did... ]]> ~Jala-Akuri http://Jala-Akuri.deviantart.com/journal/2406701/ http://Jala-Akuri.deviantart.com/journal/2406701/ Tue, 11 May 2004 13:39:59 PDT for example, the group could get a message with the scenario, a map and the objective. whether or not they succeed is what legends are made of.
I suppose that it could take quite some time. but it's really more imagination than a gaming system. ]]> ~Jala-Akuri http://Jala-Akuri.deviantart.com/journal/2384926/ http://Jala-Akuri.deviantart.com/journal/2384926/ Sat, 08 May 2004 10:32:43 PDT As if a bud readying to blossom forth it's beauty I unfold the petals of this venue, and find countless examples of the human condition. A creative writing professor once asked us to think about and define the who we are, as a people, something of an explanation for tourists from other stars. I chose the arts as a method of discovery, and now I feel that DA is a proving ground thereof.

imagine how society changed, because of the industrial revolution, where machines gave a higher standard of living to all, fabrics became truly affordable, transference of energy became more than just action/reaction, ideas were shared by so many, the right people we able to grasp them and change the world!! Just imagine today, we are at the cusp of a new era, the likes of which never known, this communication bridge, so intense that potentially everyone can become a part of, imagine the changes we are to witness. because of the of sharing ideas, and freedom of expression. Unfortunately the same goes for the race to be the one recorded as founder, but, I care nothing for marconi, or edison, when I found tesla, i was amazed. can you imagine a thousand people taking credit for an idea, a thought, that changes the world of man, i will be happy for the change, caring not for the credit, because even then, even if a thousand fight for credit, what remains is that we have grown closer together the change has happened. [I shoulda patented my idea to scour the universe for life ahhhhhhhh, it was stolen I tell ya] then again, why should ed receive millions in revenue, when it should be harry's. yet, in time even if ed wins the fight for credit, eventually the works of harry will come to light and the pattern of progress will then show the true founder of the idea, and the courts, after taking their cut, will award the decendants of harry the fortunes amassed by ed, through his lies...well, probably not, but for real, would you want to find a cure for cancer, but have it smothered and never used, or have it used and never receive credit?

perhaps that is a bit callous of me, let's see, how would i feel if duckboy went on to generate millions of dollars in revenue, without me at the helm...hmmm...[dammit ed, why didja steal my work?] would I rather see duckboi successful, and me struggling, or duckboi sitting on my floor because I was too involved in my momentary flight of fancy....well now the shoe is on the foot, i have no idea, sure i would be pissed and more than upset, but perhaps when I whak my tv on the side to get it working for the adventures of duckboi, sitting on the box that is my chair eating ramon noodles, i just may be satisfied that duckboi is enjoyed by so many...hmmm...bulls**t..... ]]> ~Jala-Akuri http://Jala-Akuri.deviantart.com/journal/2240534/ http://Jala-Akuri.deviantart.com/journal/2240534/ Sat, 17 Apr 2004 07:17:25 PDT ~Jala-Akuri http://Jala-Akuri.deviantart.com/journal/2206255/ http://Jala-Akuri.deviantart.com/journal/2206255/ Mon, 12 Apr 2004 10:35:18 PDT
This visual diary, remember a picture is worth a thousand words, stay with us, be it a memory of a memory, constantly re-recorded...
An artist can be the recorder of society's collective dreams, from Manet's riviara, to the spectacular landscapes brought to us by Boris.

The Dutch Masters gave us a bold look into the social stratum of their period. The piety and ferver of the masses can easily de discerned.

We tend to formulate ideas from what we observe and otherwise experience. Currently my ovservations and experience are connecting with animae style minimalism. I like what I see and try to produce my works in that format. ]]> ~Jala-Akuri
