Going to the doctors again today, and the hospital straight after it. Nothing much else to report.

]]> ~Stormware http://Stormware.deviantart.com/journal/26079537/ http://Stormware.deviantart.com/journal/26079537/ Tue, 21 Jul 2009 03:55:23 PDT
Very likely going into hospital tonight or tomorrow definitely, these chest pains and arm pains are getting very very bad.


Will hopefully be able to come back tomorrow and write "Doctors checked and found it was nothing".

Strangely enough, my gut feeling tells me this is more than just a hypochondriac theory. I really am feeling strange debilitating pains shooting down my arms, through my heart et cetera. I've never felt anything like this before, not even December of 2007.

Wish me luck guys. For once in quite a while, I'm actually quite scared about my health. These pains wouldn't bother me if they lasted a day, or even two days, but they've been here well over a week now and are getting worse each night. I'm afraid I might wake up at 4am with incredibly strong pains and being unable to breathe. I'm thinking of calling the hospital now and getting checked out if I can.

I know something is wrong with me at the moment, I hope it's just some muscular pain or something.

Edit: Can't get to hospital, dad's using the phone and says it's wise for me not to go. Apparently I'm overreacting. My body giving me such pain (Which I haven't felt pain like in years) doesn't seem to be overreacting. I guess I'll have to see how I'm doing tomorrow.

Keep on keepin' on guys.

After ongoing battles, things might not turn out as bad as I thought.

Right now dealing with hospital too. Been in and out for strange sharp (increasingly painful) pains on the left side of my body.

Not much else to report atm, will see you guys later.

ANOTHER UPDATE:

Not going to keep the job, I don't like the idea of scrubbing toilets.

Deviantart and a few friends cost me my damned job, the best paying one I've ever had ($744 a week). It's not their fault obviously but it still sucks how Australia is so behind and full of people who don't understand anything the modern world holds.

UPDATE:
Lately, I've copped a lot of crap about "who I make friends with" and those friends coming from DeviantART, so I've had to sort of pack up and restart how I'm doing stuff here. The whole idea of Sonic stuff has been heavily misconstrued when being described, and has then been linked to being furry stuff, which has also been indiscriminately blown out of proportion including the whole idea that every sonic fan = furry = nasty bestiality lover, and it's cost me my job

This includes anthro and anime.

I think it's time for me to move on from Deviantart in order to stray free from the Sonic Universe. It just doesn't appeal to me anymore. There's also too many idiots to deal with, and I realized one day, I'm fighting for something that isn't necessary in my world. I've fought to defend Sonics name, only to realize that we're getting fuck-all back from SEGA except shitty 3 year old kiddies games for the next-gen consoles which make Sonic an embarrassing thing to like unless you're a female.

I'm also moving on from it since I lost my job due to the fact I'm still holding onto the like of the Sonic Franchise. I've copped too much shit in reality to keep liking it (family issues and stuff as well).

So I'll still be here, just not with any of the sonicy junk. I pretty much deleted all the models and stuff I ever made of it ,(Although don't get me wrong, I'm holding my word and going to complete the requests I never finished when my 3d package arrives), and about 1120 gig of sonic stuff but that'll be it. I'm going to continue with my games-development career. Also, I do appreciate all the giftart, requests etc I received from everyone <3 I love you all.

I'll seeya all around. Can't wait to see what I can get done this week.

EDIT: After lengthy negotiations, I have my job back, but that doesn't quite mean I can continue to have anime and anthro related stuff, be it favs or submissions, on my gallery.

Bloody FLU! It's rampant at the moment.

Nothing much new on this end. Taken a brief leave from work but I can't wait to get back into it tomorrow if I'm feeling better. Today is day 2 of the flu and my symptoms shifted from headache + fatigue to muscle soreness and nasty fevers. Headache is still hanging around, feels like there's metal rings around my eyes! >< Still, I'd prefer this over Gastroenteritis or any of the other nasty winter bugs.

Peace out

Another great day at work I'm really starting to like the Tax Office, and I've bet a whole bunch of wicked people.

Nothing new on my end, been working on "The Code" and a few paintings. Might do the 100-theme-art project

Nothing much new again on this end. Bumping bad journals off the front page (even though it's not the 5th yet).

I can't believe it's already halfway through 2009! Time is flying faster than a roll of toilet paper near the end of the material!

I've fallen into a habit of making analogies and stuff ><

I'm also looking at moving to Western Australia with a few friends. It would make it hard for me to see friends since most of them are here in NSW, QLD, VIC and SA, but I'm finding that I have a lot of enemies here too which I'd rather not stay around as they're a danger to my friendships (not just talking about dad here).

I'm also working on my little game project "The Code". It's likely never to be a fully fledged game unless a mod team picks up on it XD But I like to do it to showcase little bits of work and learn what I am capable of, as well as learn new stuff.

Keep on keepin' on!

Nothing much new to report. Dad still wants me out of the new job because I'm "meeting strange people" so I'm likely to hand in my resignation either this coming friday or some time around that. It's possible I'll be going to work at what he calls a "proper job", ie at Charcoal Chicken making chickens all night and earning roughly $13 an hour?

In other news, been working hard on "The Code", I want it to be finished this year no excuses XD Here's hoping.

Keep on keepin' on

Looks like I have to resign from my job I can't stay here. My dad wants me and my friends "gone" this year because I'm "not normal". His definition of normal is his high and mighty perfect self. I can't stay and I can't really travel to get to my job easily.

It kind of sucks, I was REALLY enjoying my new job, but it's back to Coles register work I guess ><

Seeya guys later

My first day working for the government at the ATO today.

I got the position as a Level 2 Tax Officer

That's all I can say legally, the rest is actually classified X)

Just thought I'd write it since I have nothing else new to report. Will be at work a lot.

I decided to take and along to Supanova Sydney.

The event was an absolute screw up

I felt horrible because a lot of it was my fault. We started off by going via train. We got told to take a train to the Olympic Showgrounds, but the train we got on terminated at St Marys. We were told from there on we had to catch a coach to the grounds. So we checked out the coach and then we were then told the coach would take is to Granville, where we'd have to take ANOTHER coach or a train then jump train or coach.

So we said screw it and was cool enough to drive us. If you're reading this dude, I owe you a shitload of beer and stuff. Without you, the day would've been worse.

So we arrived and things were great for the most of the day, then came the time to buy tickets for tomorrow.

I walk up to the ATM and put in my brand new Debit Card that St George mailed out to me because they had a little problem with Malaysian scammers stealing customer details. St George didn't compensate me for the $150 Canadian Dollars I lost because it wasn't their problem.

TRANSACTION DECLINED.

But I put $500 in there this morning? Time to call St George. My friends phone was running out of battery and mine had no credit thanks to Vodafones short-life credit. The bank (St George) was unable to allow me access to my account because they were unable to verify if it was me since it is required that I go into a branch (at 5:30pm on a saturday...?) to pull out money for some reason.

Great, time to ring vodafone and charge some credit to my credit card.

"Press 1 to recharge"
1...
"Sorry, the option you have selected is no longer available. Thankyou for using Vodafone. - click - "

I was getting frustrated. We managed to charge the parking ticket to my credit card and get out of there. We were tired, sick, in need of a toilet, and bang, the GPS we had failed to find a signal so we got lost.

Eventually we arrived home to find it deserted as my brother was working and my dad had run off to chop firewood for his girlfriend many towns away because her OLDER SON IS TOO LAZY TO BE A MAN AND CHOP IT HIMSELF... GROW UP MATE!

So we drove back to the hotel to get my keys, we get back home and dad has finally arrived home. We dropped off the GPS and went back to the hotel.

It was one of the worst screw ups I've ever had. I wanted the trip to be smooth for my friends and because I failed to change to a working bank (Commonwealth) and a decent phone provider, I failed that day. I actually ended up in silent tears in the back seat of the car on the way home. Not something that would happen usually but damn I was frustrated.

I hate you St George, thank you for screwing up the convention. Because of you, we failed to see the people we wanted. Do not trust St George. THEIR MACHINES ARE FITTED WITH SCAMMING DEVICES, BEWARE OF RAISED KEYPADS AND GREY BARS SITTING OVER THE LIGHTS. ST GEORGE OFFERS NOTHING IN RETURN IF YOUR DETAILS ARE STOLEN.

DO NOT TRUST VODAFONE, THEIR EMERGENCY SERVICE CONSISTS OF A ROBOT, NO HUMANS AT ALL.

Other than that, the time with has been absolutely great. She's been the most wicked of friends, and was wicked enough to keep the cool during the whole supanova screw up.

I'm going to have a word with St George and Vodafone this week. I will record the results and post on youtube.

Keep on keepin' on guys

I went to see Transformers 2 today, although I was overcome with emotion about halfway through and had to leave. I don't think I'll be able to see Transformers 3 when it comes out.

I haven't got up to much else. I have about 400 pages of Government forms to fill out which will be interesting.

Hopefully soon I'll be able to afford the stuff I've wanted (and get 3dsmax, a video card), but I have to pay off a lot of other important stuff first.

Until then, peace out!

Unfortunately, my dad has turned into an asshole and because she's coming up here two days earlier, he's chucked a tantrum and said she can't stay AT ALL.

I need to sell stuff FAST for a hotel room.

I have:

A toy gun collection

A Counter Strike Source Knife

An M9 Bayonet

Fury Bowie knife (30cm)

FBI Jacket

M69 Flak Jacket

A LOT of Sonic Comics (archie) some dated from over 10 years ago.

A nice flintlock replica.

Uh, I have a lot of other junk, but I need to sell to make some money for a hotel room so my friend can stay up here

Anyone want to buy something?

Alternatively, any suggestions what I can do!?

Well folks, nothing much new on this end until the new gfx card arrives. Getting a bit edgy now since I've wanted a new computer for a while but a computer is no use without a GPU of some form so I'm still waiting

Anyone ever get that feeling that they wish so badly they could go back in time and live life back about 5 years ago? I find myself emotionally screwed over by how much my situation has changed since then. I took the good with the bad back then but now it seems I'm taking the bad with the good. I remember a day when things were simpler and funner. I could go to work, come home, play my games and then go to sleep. I'd also get to go out with friends, hang out and have fun, and live this free life I've sort of only dreamed of for now.

I guess those were better days, but and I'm finding my past being the best days is catching up with me.

I won't remember the day I wrote this journal, but I know that in about five years, I'm going to look at file dated "June 19, 2009" and say "Wow, what I wouldn't give to be able to go back in time and be there on that day, or that week/month again".

It feels like life is going so fast for me at the moment, I just hope I can fit in all the stuff I want to do. My life is drawing to an end (Still far from it) but time is rapidly accelerating faster each day.

Someone once said, life is like a roll of toilet paper, the closer it gets to the end, the faster it goes. They couldn't have been more correct.

I've also kept this journal on Deviantart. Over the next 5 (or hopefully more) years, I'm going to make an entry at least once a month, or more (I'd love to do a new one each day but my life isn't that eventful yet). This journal is gonna help me remember some of the more interesting times I've had in the past few years.

Anyway guys, to keep with my 2008 roots, keep on keepin' on!

He goes around dA asking for people to draw sonic characters in socks because he has nothing better to do than masturbate to them.

dA is NOT a free porn service!!!

EDIT: Owned -> [link]

I know lots of people request stuff they can get off to here, but the fact is, this Cagepower guy offers NOTHING in return. Not one single piece of art, and rarely a "thanks". He types like he's too busy fornicating to actually write a proper sentence.

I can spot his type from a mile away. These people who speak really weird.

NOTE: I have NOTHING against someone coming up and asking me to do a picture that might be a little sexual or fetishy, and I'm sure lots of other people don't, but this guy just doesn't give anything in return, dA is nothing BUT a porn service to him.

To those who don't know why I say a porn service, I'll explain. He jacks off to sonic characters wearing socks, it's the first most common fetish in the entire western world according to Wikipedia.

Being tolerant as I am, there's nothing wrong with that! People are allowed to have all the ridiculous fetishes they want, but the fact that this guy asks for nothing but, and expects people to go around and draw pictures like this for him, it almost makes me sick. Any time there's a picture of a sonic character in socks, even if it's innocent, in a comic or something, he'll bloody favorite it for the wrong reason.

I guess I don't know what to say. What I really mean to ask is, what can be done about this guy? He can't be banned because he's not harassing anyone.

Also, there appears to be an artist recolouring Blaze the Cat and nicking pictures of Tails/Vanilla @ . You might wish to report him.

I'm not being an asshole to spoil their fun, but simply because I reckon dA wasn't made for this kind of activity.

My brand new graphics card is going up for sale on ebay to pay off the $5490 debt, so I can't model for a while. I forgot about the whole thing!

Anyway, I'm still happy to complete models, just might have to wait another week until I buy a new card.

So far, here's the progress list:

Hedgiegirl - DONE
Spirit - 70%
Jazz (MsShadowette) - 50%
Yukiko - 95%
Rosie -25%
Lexie - 25% I can't wait to do this one
KeiraWinstanley - 30%
Crystal - 30%

Anyway guys, sit tight. Graphics card sells tomorrow -> [link]

I will keep everyone informed. Don't worry, the models are still going to be completed I'll have an even more powerful card after this too which means a little more brunt. Unfortunately as you can see, they dealt me out a really obsolete card (GTX 260) when I bought the computer which has troubles playing games even as simple as Red Faction -> [link]

Even playing videos is a huge chore on this card, -> [link]

It also had huge issues playing multiple other games, ranging from Call of Duty 5 to Civil War -> [link]

This was however, not the fault of the card, but instead the awful technology my computer is composed of.

15/42 complete

NOTE: CURRENTLY TRADES ARE CLOSED. TRIALING TRADES ATM

I'm currently happy to do trades with people. I can model their character for them if they'll draw my fan character Lief (If you can, draw him just standing there, or spruce it up and draw him looking cute or being caught in an embarrassing moment or something XD)

Here are some references of him
[link]
[link]
[link]
[link]

I know, he's some unoriginal Manic modification

More references here -> [link]

PLEASE add me on msn for trades - slik_power@hotmail.com and note me for requests I'm also up for requests, but they'll probably come a bit later than trades. I'd prefer MSN as I can update you as it goes along, plus it's so I can ask about certain design choices.

Rules:

* I do not do naughty stuff for artists who are under 18, waltz in demanding Sonic doing god knows what to Tails with no thanks or anything.

* If you demand a model or are refused one and whinge, no... you just don't get one.

* I do not negotiate with terrorists.

* You must draw your half first. I've never had a problem with being reliable, but lots of other people do. It takes a few hours to a few days to make a model, so don't expect it straight away If I end up modelling for someone and they don't give in return, it's just wasted valuable time for me.

Fuck the hiatus, I'm not leaving my friends behind. If I have to work a little hard for once in my life just to earn some more money to pay rent AND this debt off, then so be it. It's no use in me working my ass off for 3 months without friends. I'd rather work for 6 months and still be able to talk to you guys. I haven't forgotten all the help and love given to me by all of you, so I'm staying and as soon as my 3d package rolls in, I'll have auctioned off this computer, and will be able to get a better one so I can do some giftwork.

Love you all

I'm afraid that due to serious debt, I will have to leave. This new computer has put me into debt and I have to sell off most of my assets and personal belongings to pay it off. It's a shame, I was starting to get a good ride on DeviantART and finally started to become slightly recognized by even some of the famous artists.

I'd stay, but this new computer cannot perform half the activities my 2004 machine could, so I'm going to spend the next few years sourcing out parts to rebuild my old 2004 machine. I knew I should have never let her go. This computer can't be sold, and I've basically wasted close to $4000 on it.

Another sad thing is that I have to regrettably cancel requests and 3d models. This computer cannot render in 3d very well. To those who I promised models to, I'm really sorry, I had every intention of completing models for you, but the debt has stopped me. I wish I'd never bought this computer.

So for now, I'll see you guys later.

Keep on keepin' on, no matter what.
-James

Nothing much new since, as most of you know, I haven't got my own computer to work on yet. My new case, PSU and monitor have arrived. I'm thinking of selling this current monitor because I find it too small, and I'm thinking of getting a 27" monitor.

Will see you guys around soon,

Love you all

I thought I might put one of these up for the sake of it.

Feel free to ask me ANYTHING at all. I don't mind what it's about, even if it's a sexually-devious related question, something gruesome, weird in general etc. Go for your life. I'll give you an honest answer each time to each one.

Rules
1. Post these rules.
2. Each tagged person must post 8 things about themselves on their journal.
3. At the end, you have to choose and tag 8 people and post their icons on the same journal.
4. Go to their pages and send a message saying you tagged them.
5. No tag-backs

TIME FOR THE FACTS (Note: sorry I couldn't come up with anything more interesting)

1. I actually eat healthy food as a computer user
2. I love making videogames more than playing them.
3. I love being scared or getting thrills, scary games etc although not one movie scares me.
4. I always wish I were braver (despite the above statement).
5. I have had reoccurring dreams of a certain story, and have now for the last 10 years. Strangely enough, it hasn't gotten annoying yet, and the scenario keeps changing, it's helped me write a huge novel.
6. Doctors reckon I'm going to have quite a considerably shorter lifespan than most people due to a weak aorta due to an accidental ritalin overdose many years ago thanks to a doctor error. Kind of a sad thing but still interesting. I've been to hospital twice for heart issues in the last 3 years, and it may even be another time very soon.
7. I expand to ten times my normal size when placed in water.
8. I live in a constant state of mind in which I believe my life has some sort of interesting purpose to recreate things or continue unfinished stories. I've heard of and seen many sad endings to things and always had some sort of ambition to fix things or make things work in the end. One such example is the falling of Headfirst, who produced 'Call of Cthulhu - Dark Corners of the Earth'. I've always wanted to get rich and fund the original team, have them update DCOTE, but I know it won't happen.

I still feel, even now, a sense that I've worked there in my previous life, as all sorts of things I've never seen before from their projects come to me as familier, and for the last 10 years of my life, they have taken a huge grip on me and not let go, and I don't know if I'll ever let go. I don't know why.

I don't know many people, so I tag:
(is it just me or are most of the people I've tagged females? Sorry girls XD)

Hi guys.

Very sorry I haven't responded so much I've been on a holiday at Yass and have just returned where our Internet is having issues.

I'll be back up and running before you know it, hang in there, and sorry for not responding to journals, polls and comments. I really do want to but have little time to catch up.

Love you all

It would've been too obvious to announce my "retirement" on April Fools.

I'm gonna be here for a lot longer guys 8D

Peace out, love you all

I'm here to announce my retirement from the computer world. I can't deal with the loss of my creations on this scale. Every time I've built my worlds, my games, my models, my music, my creations, my characters, my stories, everything I've ever built, it's been thrown into a void. With Western Digital impossible to acquire, I am leaving (not just DeviantART, but the entire computer world). The idea of loosing my creations again is just something I can't endure.

As for me, if anyone wants me, I'll be, like my electronic creations, thrown into the pages of history, lost and never found in this crazy mixed up universe of the digital world.

Maybe one day I'll come back, but it won't be for a very very long time, until I know I won't see my stuff disappear again. The workload for me just increased too much, and it's no-one's fault but Seagate and Gigabyte.

Thanks for your support, Amine, Lena, Cee, Link, Tiffany, Michael, Michelle, Marco, Foxy, Bryant, Carter, Alan, Ryan, Casa, Shaun, Hus, Andreas, Charlie (Jinjo), and although you won't probably like me for it, thanks for the time we got to share together Elysia. I really valued my time with all of you, and it helped me so much. I love you all.

Peace out
-James

Hi everyone. I have good news and bad news.

It's my sad duty to inform you that the 3d models I've promised will take a little longer as my computer died (I'm through with modern hardware.).

Anyway, I'll need to fork out $3000 for a new (decent) system to make some good models

I can manage, you guys and girls I've promised models to just sit tight and I'll be back and modelling before you know it

As for the good news (well I guess it's only good for me), I'm going on an outback camping trip with some friends. We're going to go camping, target shooting, cave-exploring, kayaking, fishing and bushwalking. Hopefully it'll be a fun experience (I'll get LOTS of photos).

Anyway, peace out, love you all!

Note: Before I say anything else, I'm doing free requests for models at the moment, including sonic-style ones.



Anywaaay...

I'm running a little competition/contest. It's nothing major, but anyone and everyone is welcome to join.

Currently, I wish to get some good reference parts of the human body so I can model a very high-detail male and female model.

For example, using photos of the top, side and front of my own hand, I built this model -> [link]

So anyway, I'm asking anyone who's willing to volunteer to let me know if they're interested (So yeah, you'll see one or more of your bodyparts on a real well-built human with good genetics )

As far as naughty bits go, yes I will be modelling them, however, I won't expect anyone to just snap shots from behind the censor bar and send it over (Although if you feel gutsy enough, feel free to do so.)

The pictures have to be taken in good light from the front, side and top view of whatever part of the anatomy it is. All pictures will not be disclosed, and will stay hidden from the public, only the final result of the model that was modelled from the reference image will make it to the public and the ref images will then be deleted if you wish so. I'm considering perhaps sending out some paypal payments for really good references.

So far, here's the checklist:

HUMAN CHECKLIST

MALE:

Head: Temp version complete
Hair:
Arms: Done
Hands: Done
Fingers: Done
Legs: Temp version complete
Feet: Temp version complete
Toes:
Torso:
Abdomen:
Neck:
Genitals: Temp version complete

FEMALE:

Head:
Nose:
Ears:
Hair:
Arms:
Hands:
Fingers:
Legs:
Feet:
Toes:
Torso:
Abdomen:
Neck:

Other than that, not much else is up.

Hi guys. Today is my 20th birthday. I'm now officially old and no longer a teen.

I'm loosing most of my posessions today, people think I need to "finally grow up" so most of my stuff goes in the trash, including figures, plushes, sonic-related merchandise, posters, paintings, books, et cetera. It's going to be sad seeing them go out in the bin.

I received a Handyman Swiss Army Knife from my dad, which is going to come in handy likely. I may get it engraved. I haven't received anything else though.

Missing you all, keep on keepin on

Well it seems the Victoria Bushfires are growing to an end slowly. It is possibly one of the biggest disasters (but no accident...) in Australia for a while now. When the AFP Feds catch up with the guy who started the fires, they're going to kick his ass.

Death toll is currently at 183... my condolences go out to the families who suffered and still suffer due to the fires.

The days keep on rollin' on. I start "TAFE" next week, which is going to suck since they're refusing to give me a certificate because I'm not continuing the course onto a diploma, despite passing this cert with distinctions.

My Birthday is coming up soon 17th February. I'll wait and see what happens. I also have some new gear arriving this week hopefully, and next week I will be starting on my Half-Life 2 Metropolice costume.

Until then, seeya all

Looks like some coder was keen at Google. Every site is displaying "This site may harm your computer" under the results in Googles' search box. Either 4chan or some so called "hackers" have been messing around for fun, or some keen coder at Google is about to get fired really bad.

Let's hope it doesn't last too long. It happened a while back, (maybe 2007?) and they fixed it fairly quickly.

DEVIANT OF THE MONTH - DECEMBER 2008:



Her work is absolutely gorgeous. The scenes she paints are incredibly detailed, and present an almost dream-like feeling, as if you've once seen the beautiful locations portrayed in her images, somewhere once in a really amazing story or dream. I could almost say, she's brought painted characters into a real but beautiful world.

DEVIANT OF THE MONTH - JANUARY 2009:



If you haven't already, get your butts over to her DeviantART page. Her work is absolutely fantastic (She also has wicked hair), and even sells her own little confectionary-themed necklaces et cetera. Her characters all are drawn so well and all seem to have an aurora, or personality glow around them.

Check out her sweet (pun intended) jewelry for sale at this [link]

DEVIANT OF THE MONTH - FEBRUARY 2009:



Go check out her work. It's just fantastic! Her characters are all really cute, and really well drawn/coloured, and her style is wicked too. An extra fifty points goes out to her for being an Aussie, and she's done some seriously good work the past year, so git yer butts over to her page and start faving (and commenting ).

DEVIANT OF THE MONTH - MARCH 2009: (Yeah I'm doing it a month and a few days early)



Go check out his wonderful page, his art is wicked-awesome. But there's a fact about Bruce that seperates him from a lot of other great artists, and that's that he's a genuinely top guy himself! He's friendly, funny, and takes the time to respond politely to his fans.

His characters are neat and creative, and his style rocks, make sure you devwatch him.

I went bowling yesterday, and although I won 50 coupons, I gave them away to some girl in the arcade who couldn't shoot anything in Time Crisis. Made me feel kind of good for myself, since I know that I would've done anything for someone to do it for me when I was young, although my friends egged me to keep it (Despite the value of it only being enough for me to gain a slinkie with it).

Not much else is happening. I modelled Sonic the Hedgehog, expect Amy Rose, Shadow, Knuckles and Miles Tails Prower to follow.

I also had a look to see if it was worth me doing a course at Quantm Games Design college, although sadly, the course units there are only recognised within Australia, and deal with obsolete software and design (much like the rest of Australias' "up-to-date" college system). $34000 to do a course in 3dsmax 5 :/

Until then friends, keep on keepin on

I'm finally home! Woohoo! I've been here a day now, and was enjoying it so much I didn't get the chance to write about it in this journal.

I lost some weight on my trip too! I managed to shed 12 kilograms whilst in Queensland, so the thin me is on its' way, as well as a happier me.

I've also started to prepare for my next computer, so I can start producing some real top quality stuff (and free work), so I'll be giving out free 3d models of guns, and even doing free random gifts for people (models of their characters for them to take and pose however they want) etc.

I'll be getting a job tomorrow, so I'll be busy, but once I have it, I'll allocate some time, and when it's in my hands, this gallery will fill.

Until then, Adios!

I decided to write my date system out this way because it, from the start of 2009, will remind me of various points in my life.

I want to be able to, in five years time, look back on a random entry, ie "25th June, 2009" and read it, and be able to say "Wow, that was the day I won my trademark offer for my first published or funded game title" or such.

Also doing great. I've met a few more very intersting friends on DeviantART, and spoke to someone for the first time, whom I've been meaning to say at least a "Hiya" to since about 2003.

From now on, to honour the greater Deviants, I'm going to slap a "DEVIANT/S OF THE MONTH" in each journal, so you guys can see some of the fantastic works they do, because their work should never go unnoticed.

I'm currently in Queensland on a holiday, although I'll be back in New South Wales, and opening the Stormware unit in Penrith up for volunteer work as soon as I return.

I've ditched my old computer system, and am currently purchasing a $3000 machine, so you'll see a lot more interesting work.

Also, wait and see, I have some presents for you watchers as soon as I return home. Just because I have no computer of my own, hasn't stopped me from producing.

Seeya soon

I entered the Lotto today. Who knows, I might win something

If I do, I'll found Stormware fully, hire a good team and get this games developer company going!

I'm also looking at a good new computer system. Specs of about 2.50ghz quad core, 4 gigs of RAM, 750 gig + 3 terrabytes storage space, etc for about $1500.

My MetroPolice costume was going well, but it's complex, so I'm considering shifting for a Counter-Strike setup with other people attending Supanova, or a Combine Elite. We'll have to wait and see how that goes.

I'm also going to try and make a new journal almost every day. It might become important one day. I know my memories mean a lot to me, and I'll probably read this again someday, looking at the tag of "January 2009" and think "wow... it's been 5 years already".

So here I sit, eating KFC, sharing a computer with my brother, doing McDonalds runs at 3am, and getting ready for Stormware. Life has me by the wrists and is pulling me faster forward every day, so I'll just have to sit back and wait and see where it takes me.

Peace out

Unfortunately, my D Drive died as soon as I completed my Browning HP model in my gallery. I'm incredibly sad, since this was one of my best models ever, and I spent a lot of effort getting it ready.

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to recover things from a corrupt hard disk? I didn't even get any signs, it just died instantly. My brother believes it to be static shock, although I was not doing any maintaining work inside the computer at the time.

So unfortunately, Stormware is down for a while until I can recover, and rebuild everything from scratch.

4 years of work and it's all gone, and I'll never see it again.

I'll never see it again.

Another Christmas come and gone, and it's almost 2009 already, wow. Time goes frighteningly fast for me. It'll seem like but 10 days goes by that I'll look back and realize I've aged 5 years.

Stormware Interactive goes OFFICIAL on January 10th. The hiring process is going to be open approximately February, so aspiring Game Volunteer Pioneers in the West-Sydney area, come join us!

On another note, I did not receive anything for Christmas (yet) for the reason of being "too old" for Christmas gifts, so it's been just an average last-two-days for me. I've been working on the musical score for a creepy new game called "Nightmare".

Seeya soon, probably will update again when I get home.

Started working on a script for a frightening new game called "Nightmare".

I will be uploading the audio track samples for my 4 game titles to youtube (look for the profile name StormwareGames).

That's all for now until I get home.

The holiday is almost over, just a few more days and I'll be flying home.

I left this house with rubbish memories, and when things were starting to look up, they crashed and now I'll be leaving with worse memories, but I guess I've got to leave good friends behind in the past.

Packing has been a real pain, but I'll be excited to reach home. I'll be putting the official Stormware Interactive website up where you guys can see all our latest titles, crew, et cetera.

Volunteers in the area are welcome to apply to work with me and others on some fantastic titles planned for future release, we'll have to see how we go team-wise before we start some strong development though.

I haven't updated my work in a while, but rest assured, you're going to see some much bigger and better leaps in graphical quality compared to my previous work.

Peace out

My Derringer arrived in the mail, I love it to bits. It's really well detailed and very sturdy.

Not much else happened, a single white towel also arrived in the mail funnily enough.

I've been on holidays mainly so nothing has been done work-wise. Expect a VERY special 3d video when I get back home on the 23rd.

I've been a little upset lately too. Not often do I get upset nowadays but one of my best friends in the whole world thinks I'm a liar and an account hijacker. It really really saddened me to hear this after 8 or so months of waiting for her to come back.

I haven't done a whole lot else, except sleeping, playing Colin McRae Rally on the Playstation 2, and a few small chores every now and then. When I return home, I intend to start working again straight away, as I can't wait to get back to work.

My $2000 from the Government arrived, I'm not sure what to do with it yet. I was thinking of saving it for something useful, even though I'm being encouraged by the Government to spend it. We'll have to wait and see what happens.

Here I sit at 2:51AM and it already seems as if my final trip to Queensland is over.

I had many good memories in this house, it's where I spent most of my time talking to one of my best friends online . I also built up a ripper gun-collection which will be auctioned off since it's proving too difficult to transport them to my new state. I've also sold a lot of my wicked 1920s clothing, since the fad has passed, and my need to study it for my game title "Nocturnal" has vanished along with the hopes of completing the game anytime soon.

It's kinda sad. I spent one year in this house, and already if I turn around, I can still imagine all the possessions of mine that once filled my bookshelf, my bedside table, the stuff in my closet, clothes, a huge safe, books, et cetera, but now it's all completely bare, and won't be filled ever again. This is my 6th time moving house in my life, and I'm beginning to get used to it.

Never again, will I be able to walk into this room I once called mine, and sit down, place my articles of 3d-study on my slide-out board, and have all my references to my right, and a whopping big and strong air-conditioner behind me. I also will never see my cat Storm again...

Life has taken me so far, and I'm only 19, I can only wonder where I'll end up next, there's so much to do...

It seems like only last month that I was packing up to leave my house in Orange forever, and I had some of the best memories of my life there. I had my own room, my own bathroom, laundry and family-room all to myself, I had more freedom, a good paying job, and yet I was forced to move.

I'm almost beginning to wonder about the rest of my life, never being able to settle down and find a female partner, or start Stormware as a fully-funded Games-developer company.

I have something I will continue to say to myself, from the sun-rise at 5am till the night cometh:

I'm in this with myself till the end, for always and forever, as there's no getting off this train I'm on, no matter what, life is no dress rehearsal, and it's the real deal this time, I've got one shot to make things work and to make a change in this world.

The biggest journey for me, always started with a flat tyre and a lot of walking, now it's standing up to greater heights I was previously unable to reach. No matter how many times I'm booted from college, I will get back up again and charge headlong into "the world".

The start of a new day is upon me.

I've been on holidays in Queensland, extending my work on "Hunters Odyssey". Hopefully, it'll turn out to be quite a game or maybe even an interesting 3d-animated movie.

I'm also hoping to put some more work on my StormwareGames account on youtube, I'll post some links when the good stuff gets up there, as for now, it's filled with temporary random stuff.

Not much else is new, overhauled my gallery and removed rubbish, added new stuff, made some new friends.

Buddies (Not many at the moment? It'll climb!) Not all these people will know me but I'm certainly an admirer of their work! :

A friend and I will be working hard to earn some money to found our "Shreveport lakehouse" rental. Let's hope something good comes out of it, because this is my last chance.
