                <description><![CDATA[ It has been the standard amount of time since I have been here to view other people's works and since I have updated with anything at all. Hopefully I will get the standard couple o' comments and it'll make me feel better about spending a couple o' hours on these works. I have been working at Lexmark for neigh on three months and have been very busy with things of that nature. Sometimes though I will find myself with a little free time at work that I would usually fill with gaming safe for that I have nothing to game on. So, I whip out the drawing book and start trying to emulate things that I see. I grab a manga or two and try to look off the cover and duplicate what I see and what I got is the Ranma image I drew and posted today. The other two updates are of stuff that I have redone.<br />
<br />
Sorry I haven't been looking at everyone's hard work over the last 4 1/2 months, they have blocked Deviantart at work and I have been extremely lazy when it comes to wanting to do anything for some odd reason. I mean, I know there are people on Dev art who check regualarly and submit works of art that are just beautiful and intuitive in their own right but, I cannot bring myself to check here as often as I want. **sigh** Hopefully my meager attempts at drawing provide you with some sort of distraction to which to fill the empty hours between awake time and sleep time. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Peace, <br />
R-Tug<br />
<br />
<br />
PS: For some reason, the Ranma image and Rouge images are not loading in their area in scraps. I have put them there because I don't feel they warrant a deviation submission. Keep looking for them there in the scraps bin. The other drawing is in the main deviant gallery. <br />

                <description><![CDATA[ I have been busy working as of late. I hate Wal-Mart with a passion that I have never had for anything I have hated thus far in my short existance on this planet. If there is one thing I cannot stand in the field of forced hourly servitude, it is repition. At lease when I was working at Fazolis for those 4 and a half years I got to do different things about that joint and the people there almost made up for any kind of repitition that I had to do. People working at Wal-Mart are slightly different in that respect.  They seem to have lost any kind of will at all, life has drained from their eyes, and I could swear I saw two bite marks on the necks of some employees there from where Zombie-Vampire-Nazi Sam Walton has come back from the grave to drain the life-blood from them.  The job in itself is not that hard to do, however there is no and I stress, NO variation to it at all.  Same job every night. Every night we have about three or four pallets back in the cooler that we have to downstack and sort based on department. For whatever reason I can't imagine we get some deli department and meat department stuff back there with our things. So, when we waste our first two hours there downstacking and sorting the stuff in our cooler we move on to moving the dairy section in little silver carts out there to the floor to put up on the shelf.  Six hours ensue of putting up small cans of biscuts, yogurt, cookies, and cheese. This whole night of working is brought to a screetching hault at around 8:00 with no regard to if we are finished or not.  Only to go home get what sleep I can during the day when everyone in my house is being awake and noisey and go back at it less than 11 hours after I left the place. That is assuming that I go to sleep as soon as I get back.  Meanwhile, while I am trying to get some sleep at home, Wal-Mart and our good friend daylight have wrought the ravenous horde of Richmond, Kentucky out on the shelves which I so carefully stacked and filled the night before.  I guess what I hate about that job is the complete lack of sense of accomplishment.  Working as hard as you can leads you no where as the next evening it will be as if you never tried at all. <br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Here is something new. Nekojin 2.0.. It was suggested that I colour it and by george I did just that. After spending about two hours outlining the original drawing with my mouse, I used several different shading and colouring techniques to get things the way I wanted them. I hope all four of you guys like it. (Only four peeps look and pay attention to what I do.)<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ A long time ago, I did some submissions and left it that way for almost 1.5 years. Here is something along the area of a new submission. Nothing much has gone about in my life recently. Been working, being sick, going to school, and sometimes sitting on my computer playing WoW. <br />
I recently turned 22 years old. and don't feel any different. My room is a mess. Imma gonna take a picture of it one day and submit it as a deviation. <br />

                <description><![CDATA[ A new day a new dollar as they say. I might be in better shape than I initially thought regarding enrollment at EKU. They haven't been as much of a pain in the ass as I initially thought. Somehow, midway through the semester after I had scrimped and saved for my books this year, I just randomly get a check through the mail for 2000 dollars. This is totally unexpected and welcome, as I have but one job that barely counts as part-time. ; . ; (I have collected about 22 hours or so over the last 4 weeks)<br />
<br />
I have partitioned the money up so that it can cover my rent for the next couple of months. (October - February) I am using the rest of the money to help cover expenses that I incurred while staying in Japan. (Yes I am still paying those off) I would like to get it to the point to where I am debt free, but the dream still sits there just beyond my reach. (I will have to wait until next year when the other EKU refunds come a rollin' in.) After said event occurs next year I will be in straight streets. I would only have to worry about paying rent and phone bills. All of which amount to about 160-170 dollars a month depending on if I make any long distance calls or not. <br />
<br />
I have been neglecting the updates here on the page (not that any of the few people I know on DA are hinging upon my very word) but when I do update hopefully it will be better than my previous artworks. I might even go back and try to redo some of my old works to make them better! I shudder to think of the stuff nestled in my deviant gallery. Also, I wanna be able to draw like Jenny ; . ; . Her style is something I have always loved. From the animation I used to watch when I was growing up... Kind of seems a mix between Disney and the old Don Bluthe films... <br />
<br />
See ya, <br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Ouch, I swore I would start drawing stuff again and maybe get back into some of the things that I found some kind of pleasure in doing. **le sigh**<br />
I suppose I need some sort of focal point or goal for to drive myself onward to the abysmal future. Sounds kind of grim doesn't it? Well, I suppose you could say I haven't been in the best of moods lately. I've moved out of my parent's basement (always a plus) but still have the daunting financial responsability knife above my head, just waiting for some of my limbs to give out so I can fall during work or everyday life and it can pin me to the floor in all it's weighty sharp edged glory.  My car's tires blew out and I had to blow through my savings to get a new set of tires.  (275.98) Rent is due at the turn of the new month, the phone bill has come, and my car is still on the verge of a major breakdown ( in that I haven't fixed the major problem with it.) This is coupled with the fact that the job I have now is very labour intensive and I actually have a hard time getting up in the morning to move. ; . ;<br />
I need a drive in life. I need a purpose. I need something I can do that no one else can. I need to be debt free again. Though I have gained my "freedom", I wonder if I may have lost true freedom.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ I have been back in America for quite a  while now. Just have been a little  preoccupied with some things. I have  just started working with my old job  and hopefully can get some regular  income going so I can maybe get my life  back on track. I think I will be a  while in getting things paid off but, I  will do my best to try and get some  time in with my pen or pencil and try  to be more attentive to everyone's  posts. I feel like I have neglected  everyone, and I apologise in advance. I  will make sure to check in at least one  time a day and comment on everyone's  work.  It is so nice to be back to my  old computer and next to a place where  I can get ready order computer parts on  demand. ^^ Yeah, I am a geek . 5. Well,  I can't say I am enrolled in a hella  lot of classes but I can say that  during the day most often I find myself  listless without motivation to do  anything at all. I dunno if it is just  settling back into old habits quickly  or if I am generally lazy. Maybe I just  need to find myself something to which  I can devote all of my spare time and  focus on one thing. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hey! I have been deviant again with my  journal entries, I haven't really been  busy lately just haven't been doing  much of anything. I get really sleepy  during the day and can't seem to get  motivated to attack the day. I guess  maybe I need to pick up my friend  caffiene again. I put him down when I  swore off coke. (thinks) I have enough  energy to do something right now I  guess because I drank a can of  coffeeeeee !! Kind of hyper actually.  Tis a very odd thing what caffiene can  do for someone who hasn't really  consumed any for a while. WHEEEEE!!!! ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I am sooooo Deviant, I guess the first  week of school starting goodness has  hit me like a brick wall. I think all  of my teachers, but maybe one in  particular shot out a shit load of  homework for us to finish, of course I  am putting it off, but I have been busy  with other things too. We are getting  new people in the Kaikan, including a  nice french fellow and another transfer  student from EKU. We have been showing  them around the town and getting them  set up for their life here in Kofu. We  ate out on the town for the last two  evenings and we have a Nomikai  scheduled for tonight. Gawd.... Sooooo  much beer! I guess I am going to be  going to the Nomikai tonight and  drinking much with the b33r. This week  has cost me much moneys, I hope it  won't end up costing me more else it  will ruin the plans I have of both  world domination and being able to get  a new laptop when I get back to  America. <br />
     Welp, bess be hitting that ole  dusty trail, I think I will be late for  my next class. See ya everyone. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Yup that's right all three of you.....  **sigh** With all the good people in  the world I wonder why I try hard at  working on my art. I guess it is more  attempting to self improve. I hate  being bad a stuff. Everyone is bad at  something, which really puts me in a  bad position. I got a new website up  and running <a href="http://www.nerosephiroth.com">[link]</a> I will be posting  things there like things I draw, things  I make, and my thoughts. I guess I am a  sucker for geeky stuff else I would  have never made a webpage. If anyone is  interested in subhosting I could swing  a subdomain for ya with 10 megs of  space. Just drop me an email if ya  wanna be <a href="http://______.nerosephiroth.com">[link]</a> heh. <br />
      All is well with me, although it  has been hot here in Kofu lately and I  haven't had the motivation to study  anymore Japanese even though we have a  placement test coming up sometime  around the 29th of this month. I don't  think I am going to do well on the test  because mostly, I have forgotten  specifics to Japanese and have only  been focusing on basic conversation for  the last two months. It is like I never  took that intensive Japanese course at  all now.... o . o<br />
     I am coming home for Christmas  break from Japan I think sometime  around December 15th. I should arrive  back at 6:30 PM . I will prolly need to  get myself a CD player before I go  because it gets way too boring on that  plane just sitting there for lo on 14  hours. X.X That and I have about a 1.5  hour layover in Atlanta. >_< I have made  resolutions to hit up a Taco Bell as  soon as I get back because I have  missed the Tacos sooooo much. I also  made plans to sell this laptop I have  for almost the cost of the thing. I  will use the money I get from the  laptop sale to upgrade to a newer  laptop. Luckily I will be coming home  before I make the sale so I will be  able to transfer most of my things over  to the main computer until I get my new  laptop from dell or Alienware or  whomever I decide to buy from. More  than likely if I get a good system I  will get an Alienware or at the very  least a cheaper but almost  semi-powerful Dell. <br />
              Later peeps! ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ It has been a while since I have  updated with any new journal entries. I  have already finished my Japanese class  here and am currently on summer  vacation here in Japan. I am going to  try and study more of how to draw, how  to work with flash, and more  importantly I am going to have to start  re-studying Japanese. I can't let it  slip through my fingers, I need to  learn this language. I am still having  money problems over on this side of the  ocean and am currently waiting for EKU  (my school) to send me some money over  so I can get a comfortable buffer of  money between now and Spring. My cell  phone is currently working: Anyone who  feels like giving me a call the number  is : 090-359-50148. For those who are  in the US this is a long distance call  as I currently do reside in Japan. If  you have some extra cash and are  willing to spend it on conversing with  me I won't be opposed. Just so long as  you don't call me when I am sleeping.<br />
     Let's see, I have looked into  having a webpage professionally hosted  online as I haven't been able to find a  place that will give me a cheap enough  price on a dedicated IP address to  which I can host myself. I need to get  outta Japan before I worry about that.  Oh, one more order of business,  Runbox.com the people I held my E-Mail  account with have suddenly dissappeared  off of the face of the planet. My new  email address is  nerosephiroth@hotmail.com. <br />
Other than that I will be randomly  updating with various things that make  their way from pen to paper.  Later<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ I just thought I should do one of those  few and far inbetween updates again. I  am in Japan right now living as best as  I can amnogst the populous. It is  really difficult with the all Japanese  I don`t know hovering above my head  waiting to drop on my skull like so  many pianos have done so many times.  Yeah, I think I have lost my mind. I  work hard before I leave the US to try  and get enough money to come over here   and lo and behold I am without internet  without phone and the money I worked  for over half a year and saved was gone  within the first couple of weeks  staying here. Luckily, English teaching  jobs are readily available here  locally. I have a job teaching several  groups of kids English every Saturday  for 5 hours. I earn roughly 16.35 an  hour.  So, I think I am pretty set as  long as expenses don`t go above 360.00  a month. <br />
     I am still very busy during the  week here as I am taking an intensive  Japanese class here at the school. It  is the only class that I am currently  taking, but I go everyday for at least  6 hours a day and most days I have to  go to my club. ESS... **SIGH** Aside  from finacial troubles everything here  has been a blast! I`ve met many peoples  who seem to be nice enough to me. They  are very hospitable over here! Like the  very first week I was here my advisor  had a welcoming BBQ in my honor. I was  so amazed that someone would go to that  length to welcome me, a perfect  stranger to the country. I guess that  is the difference between the states  and over here. There is a massive  difference in the treatment of people. <br />
     I am working on several new  drawings I will attempt to upload here  in the coming weeks. When I get them  uploaded please be sure to tell me how  I did on them. <br />
<br />
Also for those interested (most of my  friends already have been here) but  below are links to both my Livejournal  and my webpage:<br />

        PS: A note about my webpage, I  have already noticed that some of my  pictures don`t work. I will fix this  soon enough, but for now just deal with  the two sets. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I haven't updated in soooo long. I need  too. Sorry about the whole not updating  thing. I haven't had very much free  time lately. I've been worrying my ass  off trying to get together enough money  to go to Japan and live for a year. I  leave out April 15th to fly 'cross the  ocean. For all my friends who have  posted their pictures/poems/ anything I  will look at them soon and hopefully  post some new artwork too. I think  maybe I may not have the ability to  manage time effectively is all or maybe  I really am all that busy. *sigh*<br />
<br />
     Anywho, My Birfday is coming up  this Saturday! I am sooooo excited!!!  ^_^ Also I got my hard drive up and  running and have been stable for about  2 weeks now (phew!!) I just realized  something, my thoughts are very  sparratic, maybe I have writing ADD  maybe I just need some Focusyn! ^_^<br />
     Well, I have a class in less than  one hour so I really should be doing my  homework in it. Bye! ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I just thought I may be time to update  with a journal entry. I am in my third  week of schooling at Eastern and am  preparing to make the year long journey  to Kofu, Japan. (Yamanashi - ken)  Everything is goinging swimmingly in my  life, with the exception of my hard  drive crashing. One day I was removing  my 80 gig hard drive to help a friend  save some files from his computer,  (this of course is not my primary hard  drive.) When I took my 80 gig out my 20  gig stopped working all together. I  lost everything from tax return  reciepts, pictures I drew, installed  programs, and all my stored E-Mails. I  have a 160 gig hard drive due here at  the house tomorrow. Hopefully then I  will be able to get away from the hard  drive I am currently using. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
PS : The one that I am using is a  Quantum Fireball 540 megabyte hard  drive with windows 98.  (eeewwwww...)  No offense to Windows 98 users, but  when you get XP and it is so much  easier to do things, you tend to hate  previous versions of Windows. ]]></description>
