Man, I haven't been on devART in *forever*.
I had loads of deviations and messages [mainly journals, you see] to go through. [[dies]]

I owe people - I know, I know.

Shoot me and go through my art books and find said pic. oweage.
What?
I'm not making any sense.

But honestly, I haven't finished anything I've started and I have no idea why.
However, I am feeling very, er, artistic lately and let us hope that does not fade!
But, anyway, I'll make myself do it this weekend [only time I have to do anything anymore [fucking work & school]]. So. Muchos sorryness. Especially to the great Brumbster who should have hanged me by now with all my delaying and no results.

_sleep_

But this year, I'll be on my own. My mom swears she's staying home "just because", my dad has to because of his duty to the prison... and even though I work there too, I'm leaving.
I'm packing my computer, clothes, and my dog into my Explorer [the two door sport kind ] and following my friend's family to Longview, Texas - just getting out of Louisiana again.
Oh man.
It kind of sucks, seeing as how New Orleans doesn't have a great defense up yet. I mean, two years later and we're unprotected? You'd think someone would have put that three layer step into action by now, you know?

Mmm. I love Dr. Pepper. All we have is diet drinks and water in the school machines now, and diet Dr. Pepper is nothing in comparison to the real thing. I'm drinking some right now thanks to Jordy letting me raid the Warden's office refrigerator. haha

It's wierd working here in this prison. It is a "correctional center" - like rehab for prisoners instead of them just staying here because they are just being incarcerated. Yep.
This guy died yesterday, an hour and a half after I got into work. I think he held the record for being here the longest, like a bit more than fifty years. Either that, or he was the oldest prisoner here. Something like that.
Oh, man. There's this guy and his first name is "Nicotine" and I laugh every time I do his files.
And there's a dwarf here. Aw, huh? Well, yeah, you wanna think that... but he probably cut somebody's throat out because they said that thought outloud. LOL just kidding. Don't know what he did.
I killed and then fixed the paper shredder machine about an hour ago haha
I thought I was a goner yesterday. This guy that I've known my whole life works out here and he's kind of an ass anyway, but out here it's like crazy with him. Like I told , if I am chummy with you outside of work, then I will be inside too. Just because he's a million ranks about me [hah, because I don't even have a rank! just a student worker.] doesn't mean I am going to treat him any differently out here. He said something to me, I told him to shut up, just kidding you know? And he got all serious and stuff. And before I knew it I was like "You've got a huge ego out here, don't you?"
o m g.
Yeah. I couldn't believe I said that. And he just kind of shutup for a second, then started nagging me again. lol
So, for a split second I thought he was going to freakin' [[somehow]] get me fired. But nah. I'd beat the shit out of his scrawny ass and get dad to kick him off of our property. [[not really, but it's a thought]]

Anyway.
I want to go somewhere.
Two weeks into school and I'm already feeling the anxiety and depression come on. I can't stand it there. Another friend of mine is going to this school in Natchitoches, La. and it's really awesome. I'd love to go there. New faces and a much better town. Millions of coffee shops to hang out at, and the one that has the most awesome squishy chairs ever has wireless internet. It was really fun that day.
So, yay for Payton.

is a pirate, and I am a ninja.
Harry and the Potters and all the other wizard rock bands are freaking cool.
Wrock On.

Go here! :::
That's pics from my trip to Nevada and California and stuff around there.
'tis nicee

I haven't drawn much lately.
It sucks.
Everything ends up looking like crap.

Oh. I got in a wreck. Apparently it was my fault. Damn these traffic lights.
A real pain in the neck... if you know what I mean.
hahaa

Like...this is so not fair.
Why can't I draw anything anymore??

It's not a question of inspiration...oh trust me, there have been things that have been inspiring me for like ever - like the guys from 300 [[but that's another story]].
Well...I can draw like the outlines and everything, just the people I've been trying to draw lately are like really muscular. Abs and all that hot stuff.
But Cai no good. No good I say!!
I need a tutorial or something.
I don't know anymore. Just don't know.


~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^

Okay. Now this...yeah, this may be even more important than that whiney shit up there ^^^.
If you have not seen 300...get your ass out of your house, go see this masterpiece.
I'm STILL too shocked to know how to put this movie into words.
So I'll let this guy do it for me (: I agreed with him 100% and MORE...

“300” is so utterly different from Sin City that it's easy to see why you would enjoy one and hate the other. I loved every bit of “300”. It didn't try to have a deep story, well-spoken dialogue, and characters that moved you to tears. It didn't care about that. It wasn't interested. Its purpose was simple: To take some names and kick some ass. And in that, it thoroughly succeeded. The battle scenes are some of the most artfully choreographed fights I've ever viewed, the action is nearly nonstop throughout the film, the Spartans are just badass incarnate and make you believe that 300 well-trained men could take on an army of millions. The visuals are stunning and if there's no deep emotional plot or meaning or purpose behind the beautiful gore fest of swords, shields, blood, and screaming barbarians, I'd be hard pressed to say that I gave a damn. It's just freaking COOL."

okay. we really need italics for these journals.

I think my MOST favourite part [[and I'm still recovering, remember that!!]] was when Leonidas was taking out Persian after Persian and the focus just stayed on him the WHOLE time - no jumping around from different character. OMG it was so cool, it's like he was fighting under water because they made everything real slow and then speed up real quick like and it was like beautiful.
Everything was beautiful.
It was like, damn I wish I could have been there and saw something like this happen. And, and, and...
I'll shut up.
You guys can tell that I like it...can't you?? lol
.
.
.
.
Oh... And the sex scene was really short, I expected it to be long and drawn out like that retarded bit in Alexander [[oh shock, no i didn't just diss alex...i loved him but damn, too much of a scene, sorry]] but it wasn't and that's good.

*Then I saw it and I ABSO-freaking-LUTELY love it.*

Not only does it show your recent deviations, and your faves in lil' thumbnails...but I can go back and see the very first message I ever got. How freakin' cool is that?

There's lotsa other things, but I just thought I should throw in my 2 cents, lol
~
Our first day of the oh-so-dreaded school. It was cool. Very confusing with the whole half a day thing and the bell is on the normal schedule, so, like everyone was totally not where they were supposed to be lol.
~
Til next time! ]]> ~TheDarkShadow http://TheDarkShadow.deviantart.com/journal/9458253/ http://TheDarkShadow.deviantart.com/journal/9458253/ Sat, 22 Jul 2006 12:52:14 PDT
~I've gone to the movies almost every weekend this summer. That makes like history or something 'cause that never happens. lol.
So the main two I saw Pirates 2 and Superman Returns.
OMG, ya'll freakin' go and see those two movies if it's the last thing you do this summer.

~Our school starts August 8 this year. Keeps getting earlier and earlier. So, so sad. I am a Junior this year! yay! Only two more years.

~Took driver's ed with two girls in my class. The first time I drove, I passed a red light and then I stopped right underneath it. (What?! It was raining! lol) The second time, I was on the Interstate and I was in the right lane. I was looking down, trying to set the cruise and I as drifting into the other lane when I looked up. I was like two feet from going UNDERNEATH an 18-wheeler. So, I am a genius. Yay for you guys.
Normally I'm good at driving and it's better when there is no one else with me 'cause I can just relax and not have to worry about them.

~Can't wait until the Renaissance festival starts again in Texas. has been posting stuff on the one in Colorado and I really wanna go now.

Peace Out for now

Oh dude, we had this festival in the next town and it was freakin awesome...I saw one of my friend's that I haven't talked to in forever. His little brother (well, he's older than me, but ya know) played at the talent show with his band. If you like Jett, you're gonna like these guys. I think he decided on a real name for their band, and I think it is "Lightning Sounder Liker"...don't worry, it used to be "La La LightSwitch".
Um 'kay... I got sunburned that Saturday and it hurt for like three straight days. I went and rode my horse Sunday and it was like really hot out and I (yeah, clever idiot) was wearing a freaking jacket so I wouldn't get burned anymore. Yeah it was great, lol.
~
I just watched the greatest Ralph Fiennes movie: The Constant Gardener. If you haven't seen it yet, totally go and rent it. It'll be worth it. Trust me.
~
Have ya'll ever had that feeling inside of you, like you are anxious about something and you don't know why? I have it right now, like nervousness. I guess I know why, but I hate it.

Well I guess I racked my brain and found words, put them together and confused you. You are welcome. ]]> ~TheDarkShadow http://TheDarkShadow.deviantart.com/journal/8065062/ http://TheDarkShadow.deviantart.com/journal/8065062/ Sat, 04 Mar 2006 12:33:24 PST
I'll stary from when I knew of the news.

I *knew* it was her, but, I couldn't believe until I saw the actual body. Well, we headed towards the school, but pulled over to check it out. I got out slowly, thinking 'If I can only see her face, I'll know for sure.' Cars passed and my anger mounted as one passed over the animal's mangled body I felt like I was going to puke and all I remember is the image I saw and that I said "Oh my God."
Shea had no face, it was torn or eaten away. Blood was everywhere and her guts were spilled everywhere. I got back in the car. I couldn't help myself in 1st hour at school and I kept breaking down. I couldn't hide it.
I know, you're thinking, okay, it's a frakkin' cat and she's obsessed. But, I'm not. This wasn't my pet. Yeah, she was an animal that I had raised, but Shea was, in a sense, a friend, however aloof she was at times. And it really sucks. ]]> ~TheDarkShadow http://TheDarkShadow.deviantart.com/journal/6163482/ http://TheDarkShadow.deviantart.com/journal/6163482/ Sun, 07 Aug 2005 22:26:10 PDT
I dread that place. Barely anything good comes from that area which rules our lives ten months out of the year. It's a really sad place. You all know. You've all been there, or are still trapped there like me.

So, I sympathize with the students of the world.
Peace out. ]]> ~TheDarkShadow http://TheDarkShadow.deviantart.com/journal/6117636/ http://TheDarkShadow.deviantart.com/journal/6117636/ Tue, 02 Aug 2005 22:44:28 PDT
If deviantART is all about the community why won't the higher up's tell us, the one's who fill this place, what is going on with jark? (I know I'm not a paying member, but ..?)
~
So, most everyone knows by now, jark is no longer a DA Staff.
He is one of the founders of this place, I don't see how they could just do that to him...

It is very sad and shitty thing what the others are doing to him......it is, just some how it is, okay?

I know he's never heard of me and I wasn't here at the start of DevArt, but still, I can't help but have to speak out on this, even though this was short compared to what others had to say about this. From what I understand, jark is a very much loved guy here, and I will support ya, Scott!!! to all u not liking this.

Let's give up some love to our Yellow Alien and try and do something for Yellow Day! (read below...)

Go here, they'll be updating on this thing, most likely...

I will eventually get around to drawing/finishing some Dragon Ball pictures. Maybe more people will come and love me? Hm.

And maybe I can even do some Samurai Champloo...ooohhh. Jin. Yeah...Jin.

Uh, I can't think of anything else to say. Please look at my gallery. At least look at my recent stuff, it is much better than my old stuff, heh.

Oh yeah, when Danny (< comic book art teacher) gets a name on DevArt, you all must go and stalk him. His stuff is really awesomeo. And, I told him how awesome the people are one here, so he'll be expecting it. lol

Clubs. Join them. You will like.

Currently watching Samurai Champloo. "How much food can a human being eat? One has to ask, 'Where have we been? Where are we going?'" it's one of the best anime eva. My opinion. Hey, might not matter much, but screw you who want to argue with me on that. heh.

So, starting Monday i started a Comic Book Artistry class at a lil' place I like to call McNeese State. barely any of you have heard of that college, unless u like football, but most likely two of u, lol. But the class rocks my socks, even though i aint wearin none right now. uh, but it is cool. And the teacher, dude, he is so cool (reminds me of another friend of mine ((Hey Jake!!! sexy boys lol))
o yeah, when danny(
yeah, so i gave my shout outs...uh, i can't think of anything else to say. please look at my gallery, at least look at my recent stuff. it's much better than my old stuff, heh.
