Personally, IM FREAKING STOKED!!!!! but, as i am only 1 of millions of players, i've gone around the vast world that is the internet, in search of the many, many, many, and varied opinions of all my fellow WoW players. Since im not able to go around and link every single blog, twitter, myspace, facebook, and seperately owned website that a WoW player owns, i'll just say what is on everyones mind, to teh best of my abilities.

I won't go into full details,(thats what the link is for. Go look, the videos they got are supremely full of awesomeness) but, first off, the new races of the game will be the Goblins; former allies of the Horde back during the First War, these goblins are refugees rescued by the Horde after their subterranean island home of Undermine decided to go Volcanic due to Deathwing coming back to Azeroth in full force. the Next one is the Worgen, men and women cursed with a sort of extra-dimensional lycanthropy. After being accosted by the Forsaken of the Horde, they joined the Alliance in a desperate bid to get some new buddies to watch their fuzzy tails.

Next thing is the new race/class combinations...We will finally see Tauren Paladins,..yes, you heard me right. Cow. Paladins.....take a moment to digest that. This topic alone has spawned hundreds and hundreds of gigs worth of opinions, debates, trollings, rant and/or raveings, and every other synanym for a bunch of people expressing opinions that don't always mesh and meld right with each other....Its been a very harrowing deal, reading most of them, so that i coudl come here and tell you all about it, in the safety of Deviantart.com. My own personal opinions are that, its the sole right and ownership of Blizzard Entertainment, and that they can do wahtever the hell they want with the game, the lore, and everything else that falls under their ownership. Yah, some of the combinations don't mesh right in my brain, but, hey....doesn't mean I'm going to stop playing just cuz somethign doesn't work right in the ole grey matter.

Now, the last thing i'll say that has me absolutely jumping around for joy is...FLYING MOUNTS IN AZEROTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

........When the hell did this become a babble-fest? Okaaay, waht to start with...Well, my Fourth of July was awesome to say the least. First went to a ribfest in Naperville Illinois. Kick ass music,(can't remember the band atm) and the food was great. If you can't figure it out, the main dish was RIBS. 11 dollars for a half slab(6 ribs) 20 for a full (12, basic math at its best. lol) if it weren't for how awesome each bite was, I would of said it was a total wallet rape....even then, i feel as if my wallet was at least molested violently...

After that, there were fireworks displays aaaaalllll around my house, to the point I could of sat on my roof, and just watched some. Some were domestic(I.e. someone jumped the state line and smuggled some in from Indiana...Illinois has a NO FIREWORKS SALES law....damn buggering state gov't) and some were public. Needless to say, the public ones were the best, with some shots that practically made night into day.

As an update to my last entry, I've had contact made by at least half to a dozen people from my old class, and now..
they
just
won't
STOP
CALLING!!
............strange how my mood changes with the situation, neh?

Onward to another subject.....i think i need to do some major cleaning of my messages...that, or cut my WATCH list down drastically. I have over 4,520 deviations to look at, and I cleared it out about half a month ago, with an amount twice as big. Then, theres the journal entries from the people i watch.... lets just say, its pretty clear I don't make changes often, hehe...XD

Whelp, thats about all i have to say now, I'm no artist, so theres nothing for me to say about anything coming up.....Been looking to get a camera of some sort, and start something like that. Well, until next time.


Ciao.

P.S.(yes, i updated this as an afterthought) I've been wanting to get myself an Avatar, to replace the Deviantart given blank. Anyone who knows a way of finding a good avatar, or want to donate one to the cause, I would very much appreciate it! Something sorta..name related would be great, but suggestions are great!!

............
.............. Is it normal to feel lost, sad, and empty when something like this has happened?

I've already cried out my sorrows to my G/F, and right now, I'm chugging a Two liter pepsi bottle to gimme back all I've put out...Caffiene izz gooooooooooood, caffiene is mah frieeendd.

I took a few pictures, I said goodbye to the staffies that I liked, and spiritually said "F**CK YOU!!!!" to the ones I would never miss,

*Cough CoughMs.CoughRhineCoughhartCoughCough*

Oooh, sorry bout that, had something in my throat. I know this is sounding happy and joyful, to an extent, but truth is, I'm still depressed to all hell....

No numbers.
No email addresses.
No "we gotta get together on the weekends"

I pretty much left the school without a link to a single person I knew for about 4-5 years of my life. You'd probably be crying your eyes out, too, if people you thought were friends left without even a single wave goodbye.

*sigh* well, that just means, now its time for me to go to College.
Which, from what i've heard, is more than its cracked up to be.

well....updates when something new comes up.

But i digress....With that kind of work required, I was, for a good long while, indisposed.
BUT REJOICE!! For the time of Tribulation has ended!!!



..........if you can't tell, I'm happy......

Now, with it being 3rd quarter, in the 2nd semester of school,...I've got about...3-4 months left of school until i graduate i think...

Heres hoping i live long enough to see it.

But first, have to survive the massive amount of artwork and posts and polls that all my fave artists have created.......
........................................................
...................................................................
................................................................................
If im not back by April 20th..........get the Army.....and maybe the Navy, and if needed, the state troopers....

Buh-Bye for now.

My parents and I always head down to Missouri for Thanksgiving at my dads parents home. I can tell you first off, the food is supreme. I always gain around 5+ pounds from the days feast itself, and a few extra from the leftovers over the next week. I love it. Another aspect that I love about it is just the togetherness of it all, combined with the oh-so interesting mix of calm and chaos that is practically religious to every Thanksgiving day dinner, no matter where you go....

What I want is to hear a few stories, if anyones feeling up to sharing, on what they're expecting this Thanksgiving, or some past experiences, whatever the reason for it, whether it was funny, heartwarming, or just plain memorable in its own way....

Oh, and also, this is to tell anyone who cares, that come the 19, I'm not going to be anywhere near a computer for an amount of time even worth the effort, and pretty much, unreachable.......


Just, don't bombard DevArt with toooooo much new stuff......


Please????

I know of no reason
Why Gunpowder Treason
Should ever be forgot.
Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes, t'was his intent
To blow up King and Parli'ment.
Three-score barrels of powder below
To prove old England's overthrow;
By God's providence he was catch'd
With a dark lantern and burning match.
Holloa boys, holloa boys, let the bells ring.
Holloa boys, holloa boys, God save the King!

That, my friends, is an OLD rhyme, sung in Great Britain and Australia, during tonight, in commemerations of a man, Guy Fawkes, who attempted to, as the song goes "To blow up King and Parli'ment."

I live in the US of A, and from what I can gather, Bonfire Night is pretty much the same as the Fourth of July here. The premise is to gather in huge numbers, eat loads, and blow as huge a hole out of the ground as possible, whilst lighting the sky up brighter than noon time in Death Valley in the summer.

I wanted to put my thoughts on this day, and say, I'm taking the incentive, and after I'm done with this entry, I'm going outside to chase the last few birdies out of my town ^________________^

Have a good night all, and if your Eastern sky(if you live the West of IL) or your Western (to the east of IL) is lighting up like a meteor shower on steroids and food coloring...........Its just me

My own opinion is that maturity is not age based...I know 13 year olds that should be in the Senate making a case on an important debate...and on the other side of the spectrum, I know 30 year olds that laugh till they cry at the mentioning of the words "sex", "vagina", "penis", "anus", "boobs/ breasts/ (insert nicknames for female mammaries)" even when the words aren't used in a humor context(i.e. dirty jokes or crude phrases).

And, yes I know that I've put my two cents in, even though I said I wouldn't...But, giving my opinion on a context that does not debate the point, or say what should be done, is what I've done........Eh, whatever.



And to update, the contest is still running, just smoothing out the finer details, time limits and such, the details are here, more in the middle column:

Translation: I'm better now, and happy about it too!

And the best thing about is, I'm not done yet.... I only got through maybe half of all the faves lists, so I got plenty more to look through, and to find many more.

The basic list is:
My favorites=>My favorites Favorites=>My favorites favorites Favorites=> My favorites favorites favorites Favorites....You get the idea. Soon, at this rate, I should probably have a web stretching to the farthest reaches DevArt....In, maybe a year or two...
^___^;;;;
Never hurts to be ambitious right? Right??

Everyone, I have a confession to make.....I think I'm addicted to Naruto(the character) and Naruto(the show) based fanart.....

Seriously, If you go into my favorites gallery, you will probably find the whole first page dedicated to Naruto-ish work....

There is nothing wrong with the show, and I'll be damned if I bash it, or if I let anyone bash it unchallenged..

BUT SOMEONE HELP ME!! Give me a few new names, some new watch worthy sections or artists, I would seriously love all who do help, and give them each 30 cookies...Personally.

So, once again, I am making a personal call out to all who watch me, or just come by to say thank you to my faving the hell out of your stuff, and watching for more with the zeal of a stalker.

PLEASE HELP!

I went out with my girlfriend, Kayla, to spend our anniversary together,(can't remember how long we've been going out ^_^;; )
Well, first we went to the movies, and saw RE3: Extinction, Shoot us, it doesn't seem like a couples film, but its got its uses...One being if your g/f or b/f is a wuss.lol.
The movie was awesome, plain and simple. Each movie has introduced a new monster(besides the zombies) from the game series. RE1 had the licker, and RE2: Appocalypse had the dogs and Nemesis. RE3 went apeshit with the monstery-ness. Ravens, Crimson heads, smart zombies (From the novel RE: Caliban Cove) and a Tyrant. I'm not going to give anymore away, but its safe to say, me and Kayla were shaking on our way out.
From there, we spent the rest of the day just doing a bit of everything, spending a good couple or triple dozen dollars on assorted things. We ran into a friend of ours, her account name being Vincents-Phoenix, here on Deviantart.
Yeah, it was a good day, a reeaall good day. Me thinks its just the start to a good week as well.

Till next time, everyone, has a good time.

Basically, I can check on new submissions, make comments, recieve notes, and blah blah blah blah blah( get the gist?) aaaaalll whilst under the great honking schnozzle of the school system....I love loopholes.

Besides all that not a whole lot, really. Life is good for me, and I hope it stays that way.

lost their lives,

gave their lives,

lost a loved one,

prayed for all those that were involved, regardless of denomination or religion,

and did everything in their power to be a service to a nation that had been wounded,

At:
The Towers
The Pentagon
and those honored passengers on the plane, that went down in a Pennsylvania field...
May they never be forgotten,......any of them...

Whilst this is up, I feel like putting my two cents about this country that I live in.

I love it
there is no two ways about it,....I love it, from the East to West, North to the South, from the lowest canyon to the tallest peaks, I love this country...

And I love the People. As a whole, the countries people are not exactly a group to be called honorable....when the worst has happened, the best of us come out...

I will never say the Government that stands is correct, or guiltless, or that whatever is said or heard, from hard facts to conspiracies are false or true.....But they don't represent the people...not as they should.

We are primarily loud, obnoxious, crude, fat, slow, and stupid, and ignorant, on any normal given day, but when a tragedy has happened, we respond in a way that I feel pride and respect for, and makes me glad to be amongst them.

To any reading this, if you ever lost a loved one, or know of someone who has, or a relation to any of the many men and women who went above and beyond when this country was knocked flat on its ass,

You have my love and respect.

God, Allah, Buddha, Yanweh, and all others that I could not think of; bless you.

Anyone with questions as to what the title is about...
I'm coming to you in Tennessee. I'm here for me Sisters wedding..
I'm hating my sister for this.....

Don't get me wrong, I love her, but her choice of place, time, and weather is horrible...In the middle of August, Tennessee is sweltering, and add to the fact that Tennessee, especially the Eastern half is facing record heat.....I wanna strangle the bride right now....Thank God all the hotels I've been to have pools
OH, guess what everyone? I've been to Graceland, and I recommend it to eeeeeevvvvverrrryoone. Elvis lived in a kickass home, though anyone whos watched
"Gene Simmons Family Jewels" would say its tiny...

I'm not going to say anything about it, except its just kick ass walking around in it, and worth the visit for any fans of the King of "Rock & Roll" Just, don't come in August...Or during the Anniversary of the King...Unless you wanna run into a shit load of tourists and old fans...

On the wedding, I the Usher......Yes, yes, I know the old rhyme...I don't care. Its more the fact that I get to be in it thats had me going "Ooooooh" Though, with heat....:retend strangles sister::

Shes an interpreter for the deaf, and shes marrying a deaf guy....I dunno, its literally marrying your job. i don't mind, I'm in my favorite state, though would rather be in the Eastern part(the Smoky Mountains and all, that AND Dollywood..X3 ) Shes getting married in two days from today, and I hope the Church is Air Conditioned with a Deep Freeze Machine.

By all, I'll update the events for the wedding. Hope the grooms got some cute cousins.
