Deviantart is no longer Deviantart. It is now Deviantanime/cosplay/myspacepics/emokids/PornThatsNotReallyPornItsArtWhenInRealityItActuallyIsPorn. People tend to put up whatever random crap they happen to fill their lives with and then say, "Oh! I'm an artist because I can (choose one): take pictures of myself from funny angles; draw Goku better than a 4 year old; put on makeup so that I look like Naruto; put fake blood on my wrist because my parents won't let me out past 9; take pictures of my dick (or girlfriend's dick) on a black background!"

Here are steps to take to make yourself a REAL artist:
1.) Don't be dumb
2.) Create something original

Yes, two steps. That's it. Both equally important, mind you.

Now you may be saying, "Dave! I worked hard on my Lara Croft costume! I think that's art!" Or "Dave! My 'funny-angle' pictures of myself with a single bloody tear aren't JUST for myspace! It expresses my deep well of sadness and emotion in an abstract ARTISTIC fashion!" Or perhaps, "Dave! Nudity is art no matter for what purpose it may have been created!"

To this I say, "No."
1.) Yes, your Lara Croft costume may have taken two full hours of looking through thrift store clothing racks to complete, but c'mon. Two what purpose does this work serve? What emotions should I feel when I view your work? What knowledge will I gain that you've exposed of yourself in your work?
2.) Yes, your bloody tear myspace pic may express your sadness and depressed emotional state. But I'll bet $50 that ANYONE could figure that out just by looking at the way you shuffle down the sidewalk with your head down, slightly tilted, and your My Chemical Romance patch sewn onto the $70 backpack your mom bought you. Your picture is not abstract, it is not original, it is not creative, it's an overdramatic obvious plea for attention from anyone that's willing to listen. Quit whining and complaining about your bullshit and FIX IT! If something is wrong... FUCKING FIX IT!
3.) Nudity for the purpose of representation is art. Nudity for the sake of the beauty of the body is art. Nudity so you have something to whack it to or so that you can trick friends, family, or strangers into looking at your pathetic wang, is, however, not art.

Now, what gives me, someone with some very basic somewhat emo-style "art" in his gallery, the right to go on this insane rant? Because I was where all of you are... except for the whole naked thing. But I've been in that, "The world sucks blah blah blah. No one cares etc. I should die." mentality before. I was one inch away from death and then someone helped me. They told me not to be dumb and to fix what was wrong. So I did. Now I'm happy. No medication, no therapy, nothing! All I did was sit down and read a bit about life, then I changed my life. Why? How? Because I'm God. I'm Divine. I am the absolute ruler of all this is my life. Creation is a matter of my imagination. And guess what the REAL exciting part is. You are just as divine, as godly, as powerful as me, if not more! So stop whining, stop being a myspace whore, stop taking pictures of your dick, and make your life exactly what you've always wanted it to be... glorious.

Thank you for your time and cooperation.

I just purchased a 3 month subscription to Deviantart and it only cost me $8. It seems crazy, but $8 is an amazing price to pay for just the lack of advertisements alone. Not to mention the fact that all the extra browsing options and opportunity to beta test are thrown on top of that. I'm definitely glad I did it.

Now I must make some art to put up on my evolving DA page! HAHA!

It's been almost an entire year since my last journal entry.

I was working at Hungry Howie's... got a temp job at the WCCCD Downriver Bookstore, got promoted to the warehouse driver, quit Hungry Howie's, turned 21, and got promoted again to the Site Manager of the WCCCD Western Bookstore. That is the superficial account of the past year.

Above and beyond that, I've gone from the deepest darkest depression that I've ever been in, to being a more enlightened, productive, creative, intelligent, spiritual, alive person than I ever have been.

And so... life goes on.

See ya in a year.

Good is the opposite of evil. If God is everything he is both evil and good. How can that be?

Everything has an exception... except for this statement.
?

Hi. How are you?

Today has been... disappointing.

WARNING! EMO BULLSHIT AHEAD!

Over the past weekend I got somewhat involved with a young lady that really grabbed a hold of my heart. I haven't known her too long, we haven't hung out too much, but over the weekend we spent a day and a half together and it was amazing. We talked about EVERYTHING... from butt sex to extra dimensional manipulation. And I fell. I fell hard. But there is trouble in paradise. Today she let me know that she talked to her ex, Chris, on the phone. They're back together. I am once again put on the back burner. Today was a painful reminder of the universal rule: I will always be second choice to someone else. I am second, I am the one they settle for, I am above average, but not extraordinary. If I have it my way, she'll realize that her relationship with Chris hasn't changed at all. At which point I'll be there, and I will do everything in my power to make her happier than she's ever been.

If, in the end, she ends up being happy with Chris... so be it. As long as she's happy. I'll find my way eventually.

------------end Emo Bullshit---------------

On a more uplifting note:
I began painting a new picture. It's a shot from one of end scenes of Quentin Tarantino's "True Romance". Christian Slater, wounded, is resting on Patricia Arquette's shoulder as she drives away from the darkness of the life behind them, into the life ahead.

Should turn out better than I originally thought it would.
Hopefully I'll have it done by next Monday.
