                <description><![CDATA[ So I haven't done a lot of creating lately though I"ve wanted to. I think my problem is I don't feel like there's much of an established audience for anything I might do. There's plenty of people who I'm sure will enjoy anything I do but no one craving it.<br /><br />I've had a few ideas for stories and crafts but haven't gotten around to any of it. I think now that I've had my computer reincarnated I'll install Dragon Natural Speaking and see if it sparks me into some stories. <br /><br />If anyone has any suggestions feel free to chime in.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I have had an absolute bucket of ideas of stuff to do lately but I'm not sure what to do.<br /><br />I thought about making a little show thing and putting it up on you tube. Like with features and stuff starring different people i know.<br /><br />Thought about designing a fun game for deviant art where I go out and take pictures and the captions become a story and even though I start the captions I let other people decide where the story goes and eventually even submit their own pics for the story.<br /><br />I've been thinkign about doing some musical stuff to like making an anime or video game themed version of the song "We Didn't Start The Fire"<br /><br />This is all besides the AMVs I wanna do.<br /><br />Anyway I was talking to Yuki the other day and decided I'd post this and look for response. I told her right down characters(exsisting ones or original), events, a couple plot lines and the like and thrown them in a bucket then pull some out and I'll see if I can make something out of what you get. We should probably throw some mediums in there too like poetry, song, cosplay skit, short story, lost anime episode.<br /><br />I thought this sounded like something that could be a lot of fun to do here where people are so creative. ^_^ I have quite a bit of free time ahead of me so i thought this might be something I could actually do.<br /><br />Thoughs?<br /><br /><br />BTW you should know that:<br />Kenesaw Mountain Landis was a bad mother f***er,<br />He was 17 feet tall, he had 150 wives.<br />AND I FEEL FANTASTIC AND I NEVER FELT AS GOOD AS HOW I DO RIGHT NOW 'CEPT FOR WHEN I THINK OF HOW I FELT THAT DAY, WHEN I FELT THAT WAY, THAT I DO RIGHT NOW. RIGHT NOW!<br />And Todd the T1000 Scares me, I don't think he knows I have the right to exsist! ^_^<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So yo hows it go?<br />
Lately I've been busy as a bee, busy things them bees, working on projects for Shukuya-Con. ^_^<br />
<br />
For anyone who doesn't know that a convention that me and a couple of other awesome gentleman have created, last year was only half a day ant it turned out over 200 people ^_^ This year we're doing a fullsize one day con and we've changed the name(since a bunch of stuff change, mostly how and where we're holding it) from chibi-con to shukuya-con, th cool thing about the evtn is that it is, and will remain if I have anything to say about it(which I do) <br />
Of the Fans<br />
By the Fans<br />
For the Fans<br />
<br />
Not enough cons do that really so that was why we created it.<br />
But yeah I've been working a lot lately to organize stuff for it. We have a lot going on there, a video game grme complete with like 4 different tournaments, panesl running throughout the day like my essentials of dancing at a con panel and if we're lucky we'll even have the official Whose line is it Anime panel from metrocon. Then there's the merchants row and artist alley for all the fan boys and girls to blow that hard earned (begged for) cash lol. We're even looking to have an area of carival games feature popular aniem and video game themes. The pearl of the event though is that in the evening we will have a Tribute Dance featuring Fullmetal Alchemist written by Rudy Gomez and DJed byt eh amazing Shadowfax.<br />
<br />
All in all it's gonna be great and hopefully I'll get to see some of you there. ^_^<br />
<br />
<br />
ps. right now we have a myspace up but its not public, it should be in a few weeks so if you firned it I'll add you as soon as it goes public<br />
<a href="http://www.myspace.com/shukuya">[link]</a><br />
<br />
Also we should have our real webpage up soon enough, hopefully by January but for now the plash Page will have to do ^_^<br />
(I'll post that url as soon as I get it)<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Okay here's the deal. I don't know how many of you have actually looked through my whole gallery but there's not a lot there but in particular there are a few collages in my stuff. I need your attention and opinions brought to those.<br />
<br />
Another deviant has told me I must take down one of my collages. (and if she's right that would mean all of them) Now I'm still new to deviant art and thus I'm not totally clear on this but please look at the colages and tell me what you think.<br />
<br />
No this is the collage in question specifically. <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/46910764/?qo=3&q=by%3Asorato-shi&qh=sort%3Atime+-in%3Ascraps">[link]</a> I have left the conversation up for viewing and opinions.<br />
<br />
My basic arguement to this is simple. An artist doesn't claim to own the paint they use to make a picture and I don't claim I own the original pictures. I think I might have pulled a couple of these pictures off deviant long ago before I had a deviant art and thus don't know the artist names, if there even are some seeing as howsome of these were sent ot me by friends or I found them on photobucket or other places across the web. I have stated that if there really is call for it I can try to find out if there are deviants that I should credit other then simply leaving the comments saying I don't own the pictures. Though this doesn't seem good enough for the deviant I have appearently irritated.<br />
<br />
Now upon talking to one of my roommates about this he has pointed out something I find interesting and would liek to point out aswell. "In retrospect how do you think the creator of Naruto felt about seeing his characters used in backgrounds." Very often anime characters are tyaken directly from anime and mange and used in things such as backgrounds and people simply comment I don't own these characters or they say that the character belongs to such-and-such (Though I usually see this on fanarts on backgrounds using the original art from the mange or anime.)<br />
<br />
All in all I'm slightly unsure on what I should do here and seeing as how I'm quite sure those watchign me have been on deviant art much longer then me I would like to hear the opinions of those neutral to this and more specifically those less hostle in the matter. ^_^<br />
<br />
Please lend me your opinions.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Okay so this being my first Journal entry on deviant I feel the need to introduce my self. I'm Steven though I prefer the Name Sorato, or the english version Sky. That's a name I obtained in middle school because it was the name of an original character of mine and it stuck. I'm starting to prefer Sky to Sorato though.<br />
Let's start with an some info about me. I'm 19, 20 on Feb 2nd. I'm a guy...duh. I live in Pinellas Park Florida currently with my girlfriend(a sweet 16 year old artists with fingers of magic and a heart deeper then the amazon.), her mom(a 53 year old scatter brain who means well but can be damn annoying), and her mom's boyfriend(he's a story in himself, lets just say I don't like him), and two of my closest friends Rudy(a 28 year old mexican with a mad uchiha obsession and a voice of pure gold) and Justin(a 20 year old, pirate obsessed, cow loving, ...whatever he is lol). It works for us. lol<br />
<br />
I moved to florida from Kentucky when I was almost 10, right before my birthday in '96. I'm not a big fan of Florida but it could be worse, my other option was Texas. No offense to anyone from there but I would NOT want to live there. Anyway Florida has it's good points.<br />
<br />
Prior to moving in here in like september I was living with my mom(who I am extremely close with) and her boyfriend but there was arising too many arguements so I simply moved but we're still p[retty close, maybe cvloser actually. She's really cool almost everything I'm into she got me into it. She watchs more anime then I do ^_^ She introduen me to it and I was hooked, same with the books I read. Also because of her I'm very open when it comes to most things including music. ^_^ Before I start babbling leme point sometyhing out.<br />
<br />
I love to talk, and write. I have stories for everythign and I can very easily talk your ear into numbness, though i try not to.<br />
<br />
Anyway lets move on. Some of my Favorite things are as follows:<br />
<br />
Music: Anything that isn't bad Rap or screaming Rock. I enjoy everythign from Traditional japanese and irish folk music, new age techno and rave beats, to smooth jazz, and pop and rock both american and japanese. Basically if I can sing or dance to it and have fun that's what really matters.<br />
<br />
Movies: I'm very versital here too. I like movies for what makes them what they are. Great love stories, amazing fights, legendary adventures, great dancing, good music. It just has to be good at what it is. Some of my favorite titles are the 13th Warrior, Dragon Heart, Drumline, You got served, The Last Unicorn, Moulin Rouge, and many, many more.<br />
<br />
Books: My favoite books are moslt anything by David Eddings, He does absolutely great stuff. I've also read a good bit of Dennis McKiernan but I'm not nearly as big a fan.<br />
<br />
Anime: Mostly ones with characters I can fall for or really identify with. Right now Naruto and Bleach mostly but I'm also a good fan of Love Hina, Tenchi Muyo, Grenadier, Trigun, and a few others along the way.<br />
<br />
Video Games: Zelda, Fatal Frame, Lunar 2: Eternal Blue, Valkyrie Profiles, FF8. All amazing titles all great plays. ^_^<br />
<br />
I think this is well more then enough from me for now so I guess Deviant Art... welcome to me ^_^ lol<br /><br /> ]]></description>
