There is the photobucket site, and the email address I will use for comments is

xsystm47@sbcglobal.net

Thank you all, for everything, and goodbye. ]]> ~XSYSTM47 http://XSYSTM47.deviantart.com/journal/9465740/ http://XSYSTM47.deviantart.com/journal/9465740/ Sun, 23 Jul 2006 07:48:24 PDT
But the most important one is: What should be prioritized, and what should be left by the wayside?

At this point, I choose to prioritize self-realization and getting to a point where I will be happy with my life and to where I will be unafraid to hide anything potentially... controversial.

If I must keep hiding the anthropomorphic life I live on DeviantArt, then it is surely not worth living. This has bothered me since I began drawing anthro and submitting it to various websites. It also began when people I had never met in real life began to talk to me, and I to them. I have no doubt in my mind that I have made some good friends this way, but I see no point in talking to a person whom I have never actually met in reality... too many things remain ambiguous. It all seems to have come included within living life attached to an anthro-addiction.

I need to lose my attachments, and focus on the more important things in my life, so I will therefore be closing all communications on DeviantArt. I will submit my work to a PhotoBucket webpage, where people can still enjoy my work, for I believe that it would be cruel to all of you if I didn't let you look at my art anymore.

Save for a few key contacts, I will discontinue IM communication between most people I've met on here. I will give up Role-Playing, for that is part of the addiction that I want to efface. It is starting to get to me. I will exist for art and art only, yet if you absolutely must say something about my work, I will have set up an email account specifically for that.

It does hurt me to do this, but I (regrettably and somewhat reluctantly) feel that this is necessary for my well-being and for my social life. I must move on. My last post on here will contain my new art address and my new email which you can send urgent and periodic comments to.

It has been fun, but the ride has to stop somewhere.

Goodbye, and thanks to all of you. ]]> ~XSYSTM47 http://XSYSTM47.deviantart.com/journal/9445671/ http://XSYSTM47.deviantart.com/journal/9445671/ Fri, 21 Jul 2006 07:46:08 PDT

When i woke up one morning I considered everything that had happened over this past year, and you know what?

I hate being the age I am.

I hate the roller-coaster emotions, I hate other guys in my age group that feel like they have to be stereotypical males (and yes, I am surrounded by them), I hate the social classes, I hate the fact that I seem to be becoming dumber, I hate how I'm losing the ability to understand things... everything that comes included in the package.

People say this is the last time in your life you can have fun. Well if that's the case, then I fucking blew it. Turns out the gilded prospects of this time in life turned out to be nothing more than chrome-plated crap. What use is having a car if you have nowhere to go? What use is having free time if you're bored the whole time? what use is anything?

I don't necessarily hate myself mind you, just this point in my life.

I liked childhood better. Social classes didn't matter. You could be as imaginative as you wanted and nobody would kick you out for being a geek. It was easy to make friends because nobody cared about putting up a front in fear that the rest of the world might scrutinize that which made them unique. Everything now seems so superficial, I can't dig deep enough to find the gold in anybody, including myself.

And yeah I do sound like a whiny bitch. No doubt about it. But in these convoluted hours can I make sense of anything? Can i hold on to it? Can I find myself or anybody else ever again?

Sure I can. But as long as the fronts stay up, it's going to be a long and tedious search. Hooray for adolescence. ]]> ~XSYSTM47 http://XSYSTM47.deviantart.com/journal/8450189/ http://XSYSTM47.deviantart.com/journal/8450189/ Wed, 12 Apr 2006 15:27:09 PDT
Once I get a job, my first paycheck is going to be allocated towards the speeding ticket, then after that's paid, ill have to pay for iPod repairs AND somehow force my brother to help me pay for the PSP repairs because I'll be needing money to pay for gas anyways.

I guess I'm entering that un-blissful state that adults call a "financial crisis."

Counterfeiting money seems like a really good idea about now... >< ]]> ~XSYSTM47 http://XSYSTM47.deviantart.com/journal/8163362/ http://XSYSTM47.deviantart.com/journal/8163362/ Tue, 14 Mar 2006 20:37:03 PST
And it especially doesn't help when your grandpa gets an appendix infection and you have to drive seven long tedious hours to the hospital when I could be trying to contact a friend that HASN'T left. (And to whom it may concern [Arium-Genka, perhaps], I'm not gonna be here saturday)

Pleh, I've got nothing else to go on a rant about. Maybe I can share my "Catholic Hypocrisy" statement with you next time.

By the way, If you got a request for me or anything NOW IS THE TIME! Once school starts back up again you'll have missed your chance.

It wouldn't bother me if it didnt happen FREQUENTLY.

But there was this one thing he said: "You know you try to sound so philosophical all the time and it's really not working." Interesting. You're not the most phiosophical person I've ever met either. So why dont we both admit that we're not mother f***ing Socrates and get on with life?

Having said that, I continue on. I often wonder if I'm losing my mind for any reason. I'm actually working on some nice human art, but I can never get ideas for anthros out of my head. What if I've got some kind of mental disease and I have to go see some psychiatrist? What if I'm not the literarily gifted person I though I was? How do I know if I'm even gifted, period? What if this is the wrong place to be? I have no sense of logic, so what exactly is guiding me through this thing called life? What's guiding my thoughts?

WHO AM I? ]]> ~XSYSTM47 http://XSYSTM47.deviantart.com/journal/7743109/ http://XSYSTM47.deviantart.com/journal/7743109/ Sun, 29 Jan 2006 15:35:52 PST
On deviantart, you will be seeing less anthro artwork from me. This is due to a personal realizaion and due to the fact that i have met some people that have opened my eyes.

And also, furry is getting too damned sexual, which I never believe it should be, but the sad fact is that it is. But it's not so much that as it is my own decision that i need to broaden my horizons. Hopefully some of my more mentally and sexually balanced fan-base will continue supporting me.

However, that is up to them, and I cannot control minds. (though it would be damn nice)

If you choose to ignore me and be angry with me the rest of your life, so be it. I stand by my decision. ]]> ~XSYSTM47 http://XSYSTM47.deviantart.com/journal/7434395/ http://XSYSTM47.deviantart.com/journal/7434395/ Tue, 27 Dec 2005 19:38:09 PST
Today, I went to see "The Chronicles of Narnia" after seeing King Kong, and then the Return of The King the day before. All three were great movies. But then I realized something. Not one of those films was entirely original. They were all based off of a previous movie or a book, even. Sure, this fact is obvious for films like these, but doesn't it reveal something about the level of creativity of film directors nowadays?

Believe it or not, it's diminishing.

Although all of these films are visually creative and fun to watch, they're not ORIGINAL. They all continue a previous film, like the newer star wars movies, or they all base themselves off the creativity of some author. The idea is, basically, regurgitated. What happened to the creativity of films like the stylistic genius of the Incredibles, or the outright hilarity of Monty Python or Amelie? Are directors losing their ability to create? Are they becoming consumed by the un-creativeness of our consumer society? How come we can't chrun out films like Miyazaki's "Spirited Away" or Hitchcock's "Rear Window"?

I know that some of you out there notice this. Take a look at films made in the past five or six years and just see how many were based on a book or how many are a sequel of something more successful. We need to jumpstart our creativity. We need to keep reading, witnessing and creating so we can add some NEW flavor to our world. Though the tastes of the past may be good, they get boring, and that same flavor still seeps through the new spices added to it (spices being visual effects or other things added to remakes).

True, there may be some of you that may like how the film industry is going, and I'm definitely not saying that the "revived" stories are bad. We just need to start making some of our OWN, ORIGINAL things before the re-makes go out of style.

And yes, this seems a bit un-furry, but I've put this out there. Just want to see if anyone's noticed. ]]> ~XSYSTM47 http://XSYSTM47.deviantart.com/journal/7124740/ http://XSYSTM47.deviantart.com/journal/7124740/ Wed, 23 Nov 2005 15:45:49 PST
Clinical bastard...

Anywho, I went and bought Katamari Damacy afterwards and I HAD SO MUCH F***INGG FUN PLAYING IT!!!!!!!! Screw the violent GTA and Call of Duty and Halo vioience crap, this game was so funny and so horribly stupid in that special way that only the Japanese can make it that I was glued to the screen for three hours. (maybe more, i may have lost track of time) It felt great just to lose my brain and be an idiot with no responsibilities for one day. It's a great way to relieve stress after 3 months of working till your brain falls out.

God I hope I get more time to draw... ]]> ~XSYSTM47 http://XSYSTM47.deviantart.com/journal/7022045/ http://XSYSTM47.deviantart.com/journal/7022045/ Fri, 11 Nov 2005 20:40:59 PST
But god, I drew something so great the other day but have had no time to scan. Heck, I dont have time to do much of anything except try to make straight A's. It used to be so much easier in middle school, dunno why this has to be so different.

Please excuse me while my life is getting sucked away.

1. I hate babies. No, really, I do.
2. Hell is only a state of mind. Eternal damnation and the idea of an afterlife is crap.

4. I only do well on homework if i have a cup of java in my system.
5. I study hard, but only get mediocre grades because the school grading system is a joke.
6. I want more than anything to be a crazy, creative type. (namely a musician/artist)
7. I swim a 26.0 in my 50 freestyle.
8. All the stuff I drew from 5th to 8th grade is now in a pile of ashes on the roof of the apartment building in NYC that I used to live in.
9. Gaudy furniture literally makes my eyes hurt.
10. I love any kind of asian cuisine (unless people eat it when it's still alive)
11. Female bodybuilders scare the living $H1T out of me.
12. 9 times out of 10 i will be dissatisfied with the direction our lives are going.
13. I love to call my dog strange names like "jujy" even though that's nowhere near his real name.
14. I only like cheese when it's melted or mixed with something.
15. If you ask me how i'm doing I won't ever give a true or straight answer.

I FINALLY KNOW THE MEANING OF THE LAST SCENE OF THE END OF EVA!!!!
Now i just have to spend my free time trying to decipher it. However, it matters not. Problems such as these are no more than scrapes on my knuckles.

Scrapes that (in reality) i got at a swim meet on the 6th. In my vigorous state, I hit my fist on the rubber pad that stops the timer and got a friction burn on my knuckles. Now they hurt whenever they are touched and whenever they are exposed to heat within a liquid, BUT IT MATTERS NOT!

The pains felt on my knuckles are no more than those scrapes on my knuckles: Inconvenient, painful yet entirely negligible all at the same time.

And if any of this makes sense please let me know. I took a standardized test today that raped my brain, chewed it with evident mastication, spit it out, then trampled upon it with Doc Martens before scooping up its remains with a shovel and shoving it down the garbage disposal.

School is a time-consuming, soul-draining endless activity that always seems to envelop me in its clutches. I haven't used the computer for a week, the usage of which tends to lower my grades, but my grades still don't achieve the level that I need them to. I'm afraid to even go find out whether I'm still in the top 10% or not. Recently, I was elected president of the French Club, and that's going to take some working on because none of my officers seem to have a good date to meet and discuss the cultural activities that I have planned out. And if that wasn't enough, all my classes are very hard, ESPECIALLY the much-loathed abomination of math and logic known as physics.

Adding on to this teetering tower of tolerance limits (nice alliteration, huh?) is swimming. I swim for 2 hours in the morning and after I go to school I swim for 2 hours in the afternoon, and when I get home I have time for nothing else but homework, after which I get in bed and enjoy the precious few hours that I have to sleep before waking up again at 6:30 AM to repeat the whole routine.

You can imagine how much free time this factors in for drawing.

I understand that the amount of pageviews I have garnered has met an outstanding amount by my standards, and it deserves some celebration that has yet to happen. Who knows, maybe i'll catch my 11,000th.

On that note, I send you all my apologies and my thanks for your patience and all and blah blah blah... System.out.println("Duuuuuhhhh..."); (damn comp sci.)

A bientot,
Xsystm (or Z or mr. XYZ or whatever you people call me)

Something to think about: If everything was made in God's image, what does he look like? ]]> ~XSYSTM47 http://XSYSTM47.deviantart.com/journal/6453480/ http://XSYSTM47.deviantart.com/journal/6453480/ Thu, 08 Sep 2005 19:03:36 PDT
No matter how hard I try, no matter how many questions i've asked, no matter how many times i've gone to see the speaker of facts involving Physics, I keep falling flat on my face. Back in grade and elementary school, I struggled with math. Now, I've gotten quite good at it, but as a result, science begins to fail me.

I don't understand why this is happening. I've loved science ever since I was god-knows-how-young. In the level I'm in, math has been added to the analytical brew. This was first realized in chemistry, when my decline presented itself. Now, instead of knowing how things work, you have to follow this twisted, mutated mess of logic and numbers that only the most enlightened of us seem to understand. It no longer makes sense. Why can't I be enlightened? I work hard enough get A's on everything, yet it rarely happens. What do they get that I don't?

I need to quit this self-evaluation, this comparison to others. So to break away, I'm going to teach everybody a japanese phrase that may come in handy: "Zettai watashi wo shaberasu koto wa dekinai." The meaning of which is "You will never make me talk." A helpful phrase to use when cornered by the Yakuza or some other Japanese terrorist group or gang.

Something to think about: What will the computers use once they eradicate the humans? ]]> ~XSYSTM47 http://XSYSTM47.deviantart.com/journal/6343387/ http://XSYSTM47.deviantart.com/journal/6343387/ Sat, 27 Aug 2005 14:53:21 PDT

And also, I'm royally sick and tired of hearing everybody talking about their paychecks and their cars... two things I need and don't have. What about school? What about the hard work you have to put into it? It's as if these people have magic liittle devices that can provide them with more time in the day. If I had to work and put up with all the homework I have, I would literally lose my mind. LOSE IT. As if I already haven't lost it.

It's a sickening prospect, and an even more sickening possibility. It haunts me every single time I talk to somebody on AIM/Yahoo. The truth is, I'd love to be friends with all of you, but I fear for my safety every time I consider this. Even my family members have gotten on my case about it.

I cannot believe that the art communities are succumbing to these stupid, infantile battles and business undertakings that we artists have to suffer for. I never knew jark, but I believe that firing somebody without a reason is pretty damned unfair and goes to show how the predatory capitalist system will have us all in its belly within a matter of time.

I highly respect the deviantart community, it was my first and I hate hate hate the fact that i'm going to be cut off once again from friends and amazing artwork that I have encountered during my 2-year stay here. But this is a situation in which we must burn the witch, and to do that, I will be hiding my deviations and refusing all comments. If you want to comment on anything, my SheezyArt account is still up-to-date and I HIGHLY reccomend that you go here [link] from now on or else you may never see me again until this whole thing blows over.

And so the bubble burst when I arrived back in Texas, which I'm afraid I can never call home, it's just a temporary dwelling for me. But then, I looked through my pictures on all my art servers, and I noticed something. I noticed that people weren't appreciating my work for what I intended it to be. On many of my works, there are always some comments that say "mm hot" "sexy (body part)" and the like. it makes me wonder why people get so infatuated with the look of my characters that they do not wish to pay any attention to my style. Now I won't try to dishearten anyone from making such comments, but please, please, PLEASE try to place a little more critique in them! Or better yet, you can tell me what "turns you on" but try and tell me in better detail why you appreciate it or what I did to the drawing to present you with that feeling. The thing is, it makes me feel like I'm doing Rated-X art when I'm really not! It disturbs me that some people try to distort it like that. I bet a good number of you know that I would never draw the so-called "mature" art (since to me the subject matter of most of those drawings seem to be less than mature). And I'll admit, I have seeked out a mature gallery every now and then, but the content still bothers me. It gives me the impression that the furry community is only in it for the sex.

Well I'm here to say that I'm not going to do that for you... I'm not going to be another "sex machine," producing artwork that arouses you (although for some, that seems to already be the case). By all means, view my art, but when you give me feedback, be constructive.

By the way, I now have a VCL account which can be found at the following adress:

However, upon looking at my stall in pageview ascent, I think it's time I got busy on some coloring, which would give my black and white art that I've been doing some more substance. I've been working on a few things, and I'm quite satisfied with them. Also, once they're submitted, I think you will agree. But right now, I feel like opportunities for me to showcase my work are writhing out of my hands like worms. But all is not lost... I've finally gotten approval to showcase my work on the VCL. Within a few days, I'll have some stuff up there.

So tell your friends, family, and all concerned if you will. ]]> ~XSYSTM47 http://XSYSTM47.deviantart.com/journal/5783156/ http://XSYSTM47.deviantart.com/journal/5783156/ Tue, 28 Jun 2005 15:58:00 PDT
Or maybe it was because I pushed myself to the physical max on friday when I played the DDR EXTREME machine at this new arcade. I usually get a "B" on Trip Machine Survivor at home, but on the machine I got a "C" because it was so much harder for some reason. And no, I didn't accidentally put it on heavy mode or mess with any of the settings... that would be murder. I might have worn my self out from that, or I just might have caught a cold from there since I touched a bunch of plastic things there that everyone else there had touched. After all, I did play Guitar Freaks V several times, eating with my hands a few seconds after.

But whatever the reason, I regret nothing even though I have to deal with the repercussions. By the way, I watched a movie called "The Brave Little Toaster" the other night for the first time in many years. Some of the songs weren't as good as I had remembered them, but the Radio kicked royal ass, mainly because it reveals the hidden personality that hides up my sleeve. And I dropped my cellphone for the 7th time since I owned it! YAAAAAAAYYY!! I'm just hoping it will break so I can get a new one, but the damned phone, like an agent of Satan, will not die.

Time to break out that crucifix... ]]> ~XSYSTM47 http://XSYSTM47.deviantart.com/journal/5597234/ http://XSYSTM47.deviantart.com/journal/5597234/ Thu, 09 Jun 2005 09:33:23 PDT ~XSYSTM47 http://XSYSTM47.deviantart.com/journal/5426661/ http://XSYSTM47.deviantart.com/journal/5426661/ Sun, 22 May 2005 05:16:07 PDT
I'm going to be off for the next week to catch up with my studies. Finals are that week, and I failed my FIRST ALGEBRA 2 TEST last Friday, so now I have to study like nothing else to get my average back up. Everything depends on the finals, and I hope that everyone will understand why I have to go for this period of time. However, once summer break starts, I'm free! So I guess I'll be back to my artistic self then.

Until next time! ]]> ~XSYSTM47 http://XSYSTM47.deviantart.com/journal/5235886/ http://XSYSTM47.deviantart.com/journal/5235886/ Sun, 01 May 2005 06:12:48 PDT ~XSYSTM47 http://XSYSTM47.deviantart.com/journal/5109030/ http://XSYSTM47.deviantart.com/journal/5109030/ Sun, 17 Apr 2005 05:24:08 PDT

Having said that, I will continue. I literally feel like a slacker with no life. All I've done throughout spring break is play DDR, use my computer, and draw. And because I dont have swimming, I'm freaking bored.

But thats all about to change...

BECAUSE I GOT MY DRIVERS LICENSE!!! Now I get to spend hours of my time as a corporate slave working for a less-than average wage at a big retail store!!! Or even better, a Starbucks!! Yes, that wonderful place where you have to fill every need of the yuppie customers that go in and out of the store every second, demanding their hyper-caffeinated drinks with multiple choices of flavors! WHAT FUN!!! And it's all because I got a license that allows me to drive to these places. It's so WONDERFUL to be a teenager in this day and age!

... yeeep. Hopefully a slight flavor of sarcasm climbed into your throat as you digested those over-exuberant words. My parents wont even let me drive alone... -_- ]]> ~XSYSTM47 http://XSYSTM47.deviantart.com/journal/4737074/ http://XSYSTM47.deviantart.com/journal/4737074/ Sat, 05 Mar 2005 18:42:24 PST
Do people draw/admire anthro artwork because they like to see the human physique presented in a unique and interesting way, of to they just like to look at it as a way to get off? If they want to think of it that way, then so be it. Despite my slight abhorrence towards those thoughts, what others think is none of my business. Just know that if you think my artwork is supposed to have any sexual innuendo, you are incorrect. Everything I draw is strictly because I find joy in drawing it, because it is fun to draw... a kind of hobby.

Having said that, this week was a roller coaster ride to nowhere. Except that in chemistry we were able to mix deadly chemicals together to make a poisonous gas!! FUN!! I told my history teacher one day: "I can't WAIT to work with chemicals." His response was: "Famous last words." Now I couldn't agree with him more, because yesterday a kid mixed his chemicals right under my nose by accident, and I was dizzy for about ten minutes. It was the reaction between copper chloride and zinc, which gives off a dizzifying gas. And I wondered if people get high off this stuff.

First of all, I'm really happy that my "comic" is becoming such a hit. And I'm going to let you know that I'm working on the third page of it, and it will be finished once the weekend comes around. (I hope) Also, I've been having to donate a lot of time for art and stuff to swimming and schoolwork. Last night, I was so tired that I went to bed at 8:30. How's that for being overworked?

Also, I've been having an unhealthy obsession with the book known as "Speaker For The Dead" by Orson Scott Card. (yes, many of you may know that one as the sequel to "Ender's Game")

ALSO somebody else requested me which means they might have to wait awhile until I get things straightened out (sorry). It would be nice if I had a day where I didnt have anything to do but take care of my artistic priorities.

Everything aches from damned swim practice. ]]> ~XSYSTM47 http://XSYSTM47.deviantart.com/journal/4618030/ http://XSYSTM47.deviantart.com/journal/4618030/ Fri, 18 Feb 2005 21:19:24 PST
I think this moment deserves some espresso, which I've become addicted to in the past week. And those that say that espresso is coffee-zilla were right. Though, it doesnt give me too much of a jolt... caffeine doesnt affect me that much for some reason. But espresso is still really good.

OOOH!! I just came up with a good idea... whoever gets the 2000th hit and screencaps it for me will get a gift pic, and maybe some money. Maybe itll get more visitors here.

But really, I am serious about this... might have to come up with the rules at some point. ]]> ~XSYSTM47 http://XSYSTM47.deviantart.com/journal/4560815/ http://XSYSTM47.deviantart.com/journal/4560815/ Sat, 12 Feb 2005 09:23:58 PST
I basically caught a throat virus with details much too vile to reveal to the public eye, ear, and stomach.

Ok, on with the show.

I FINALLY managed to complete Xen's request, with a few qualms of dissatisfaction. Maybe I'll do another version to make up for it. And I also had a dream the other night where I randomly killed somebody I never met before. But that's beside the point.

So, what is the point, you ask? There is none. SHOULDNT YOU HAVE KNOWN THAT BY NOW, YOU DUMB OXEN!?!?!?! HUH!? HUH!?!!?!?!

Forget that last phrase, please. I'm sick and not in my right mind. I love you all. Happy valentine's day/weekend!!! ]]> ~XSYSTM47 http://XSYSTM47.deviantart.com/journal/4499682/ http://XSYSTM47.deviantart.com/journal/4499682/ Fri, 04 Feb 2005 20:21:04 PST
Before I say anything else, I would like to apologize to ZakRhino and Xendrian for taking so long on their requests. School has really been wreaking havoc on my brain, thus I have been running out of time for art. Forgive me for being mentally busy and artistically retarted.

Anyway...

Why does it get so hard to keep up with people in school? Are some people smart because they were born that way, or what? You begin to question you abilities when bad test grades begin popping up.

But then, why do we have tests anyway? Well, they are measures of our intelligence, telling teachers and other scholars where we stand on the academic ladder. They were once viewed as a small side-effect of the actual learning process.

However, twentieth-century thinking has reversed that value. Now, people don't want to learn things for the sake of learning them anymore, they just want to learn what they can use on a test. And then, it suddenly becomes a huge competition to be on top. And a lot of classes nowadays exist mainly for the purpose of getting you ready for some test. That's the only reason they changed the scheduling at my school. It was to allow for more time to prepare for those damned tests.

I don't know about anybody else, but I take advanced classes because I want to learn things, and gain a deep understanding of them. The tests can go screw themselves. The reason you go to school is to learn how to manipulate and handle the real world. Sure, you might be good at taking tests, but are those test-taking skills going to help you do your future job any better? I don't think so. But let me hear what you think about it. ]]> ~XSYSTM47 http://XSYSTM47.deviantart.com/journal/4442643/ http://XSYSTM47.deviantart.com/journal/4442643/ Sat, 29 Jan 2005 04:32:42 PST
So, what was good about this week? Lots of stuff, actually. More good stuff than there was a while ago. For example, I found out that chemistry is my new favorite subject next to biology after I understood something that only one other person in the class understood. It was nice... and toasty (although I cannot exactly say that I am a slice of bread getting the $H1T burned out of me). So, that was all good.

My god, It's amazing how lazy I've been with my artwork. I've got two requests I'm working on, and I'm halfway finished with one (the one for Pointzero/Xendrian) and I'm only 1/4 finished with another (the one for ZakRhino) I hope theyre not in any rush, because I've been very busy lately for reasons beyond my control.

Oh well.

Once again, I'm avaliable for request, if anybody wants to request something from me!!! ]]> ~XSYSTM47 http://XSYSTM47.deviantart.com/journal/4403492/ http://XSYSTM47.deviantart.com/journal/4403492/ Mon, 24 Jan 2005 14:45:22 PST
And if nobody's noticed yet, it's really hard to type stuff up and watch TV at the same time.

Real weird.

I'm not exactly sure I remember what happened last friday though. Although, that does not change the fact that it is monday and I have to stay home with my brother until my parents get home. When they work, it gets really annoying, doing nothing all day for hours on end. We get bored here.

BUT! I hope I can change that. Otherwise, nothing is really new for me, except that yet another artist requests something of me. He had very little preferences... all he did was send me some example pics and told me to go ahead with those. I guess I should improvise... or something.

Yeeeeah. ]]> ~XSYSTM47 http://XSYSTM47.deviantart.com/journal/4178893/ http://XSYSTM47.deviantart.com/journal/4178893/ Tue, 28 Dec 2004 16:31:11 PST
anyway, I did get to go to the economically decrepit town that my grandma lives in... all the local businesses have died out and a new Super Wal-Mart there is sucking all the money away from the town's economy. The place is filled with hunters and mobile-home inhabitants, and It's like taking a trip back to the 1930's to 1970's.

Really different, and somewhat sad. The place looks like people just don't care anymore. They're too lazy to get their businesses going again.

However, I got to work on a draft of this comic I'm doing. I'll get its billion pages on to here if I can. ]]> ~XSYSTM47 http://XSYSTM47.deviantart.com/journal/4035545/ http://XSYSTM47.deviantart.com/journal/4035545/ Fri, 10 Dec 2004 14:16:12 PST
Monday was all right. I dont exactly remember what happened. Swim practice was easy.

Tuesday? Don't remember much about that either. Swim practice was easy that day as well, worked my ass off for an english project due the next day.

Wednesday was ok. I got a 93 on the project AND I SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN 100!! BITCH ENGLISH TEACHER!! I think we had a test in history that day as well. The test sucked, and I still don't have the grade for it.

Thursday SUCKED. Except that my english teacher used one of my essays I wrote that day as an example of how a standardized test essay should be written. I got happy, and people loved it. BUT HISTORY WAS EVIL. We had to do a document-based question (DBQ) and I got a 75 on it, which is borderline passing. And in Geometry i didnt understand the subject matter when everybody else did and i got a 72 on the last test. DAMMIT.

Friday, (as i said before) was ok. But I am now going to stop complaining about everything and get down to business. Xendrian asked me to do another request for him, and it is something that I have never been asked to draw before, so it is going to be extra challenging. I told him that he might ask another artist to draw the same thing and decide which one was better. It's gonna be good like that.

Nothing else is really going on, except i'm going to buy a crepe pan for my mom as a christmas present.

And that's my second Usual Friday Entry. ]]> ~XSYSTM47 http://XSYSTM47.deviantart.com/journal/3981394/ http://XSYSTM47.deviantart.com/journal/3981394/ Fri, 03 Dec 2004 16:27:45 PST
Well, my day was crazy. I got yelled at pretty much until I left the house, and I felt terrible leaving my dog at home by himself. His fuzzy little face was staring at me through the window as I walked to the bus stop... made me feel really sad. Then, as I got to the bus stop, i could see my school off in the distance... actually it was close enough to hear the fire alarm going off. It was either a prank or the school was really burning down.

I prayed that it was burning down.

I get bored to death in english and then had an actually exciting lecture in history as we talked about China from 1948-2004. No, it really was interesting... we learned about all the student rebellions, and after class all the football dumbasses in there made fun of me because I didnt know any famous athletes. I don't understand why such idiots are in an AP class anyway... they barely apply themselves.

Then, I had a really good time during lunch, as one of my new friends invited me to his birhtday party as we were playing cards. THEN I almost had a crisis in geometry because I thought that I had left my book in the cafeteria and that the custodian had thrown it out. GAAAH!! Then I felt like an idiot when I found it in my locker. >.< The rest of the day is still progressing.

As for my artistic activity, let's say that I'm working on it. Basically, it's another request from Xendrian that I'm taking a long time to do a really good job on.

I now have a SheezyArt account by the way... visitors would be greatly appreciated! And, I also accept requests, if you want me to do one.

Well, that's pretty much it. That's my Usual Friday Entry. ]]> ~XSYSTM47 http://XSYSTM47.deviantart.com/journal/3917357/ http://XSYSTM47.deviantart.com/journal/3917357/ Thu, 25 Nov 2004 13:47:21 PST
Also, a certain XendrianDragon asked me to do a request for him, and it is now 75% completed. I would be getting it done at the moment, but I'm feeling too sick to my stomach right now. AND I HAVENT EVEN EATEN ANYTHING YET.

I also got onto evilincognito's contest... but havent done it yet (i need a seriously long break to get all this crap done) and I've gotta do the same practice for swimming TOMORROW and the NEXT DAY!!!!1

GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH HHH!!!!!

I've been thinking about getting an account on SheezyArt. It's more customizable, and I found a lot of really cool artists on there to stalk. But don't worry, I'll still be here on DA, with its subscription and payment and ads and stuff, just so I can stay with the people who still use it.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING FOO'S! ]]> ~XSYSTM47 http://XSYSTM47.deviantart.com/journal/3835480/ http://XSYSTM47.deviantart.com/journal/3835480/ Sun, 14 Nov 2004 17:48:07 PST
I put off the studying of my history test till the last minute and i just got done studying. I know that my teacher has all good intentions of making us use our brains, but this time he's gone too far: one of the mathematically smartest kids i know just failed one of his tests. I didn't fail... but I just barely scratched the surface of passing. I better get my ass in gear if I dont want to fail my first AP class.

There are some problems you just cannot fix, especially those that exist in your family, but I cannot reveal that.

Gosh, what else is going on that I can talk about? My artwork is improving, for once... I finally got my characters to look more like the manga-american fusion that I wanted them to be. No, they are not stylized in the same way, but it shall get there with the passage of time.

And I would also like to add that insular minds suck big time. Especially when adamant about false political and religious philosophies. (Please do not jump down my throat. I didn't mention any names... just one way of keeping things ambiguous ) ]]> ~XSYSTM47 http://XSYSTM47.deviantart.com/journal/3762139/ http://XSYSTM47.deviantart.com/journal/3762139/ Fri, 05 Nov 2004 16:39:56 PST
We were on our way to swim practice and my friend was driving me and two other guys... I was in the front seat and the other two guys were in the back. There was a ghetto-looking black chevrolet pickup a couple of cars ahead of us who was driving quite recklessly. Then, as we were driving down the highway, all the cars in front of us slammed on our brakes... possibly because of the black pickup, or possibly because there was a red light. As the car in front of us stopped, the driver of our car had little time to react and he heard the screeching of tires, so he slammed on his breaks and skidded very fast into the back of the car in front of us. There was a very loud sound that sounded like a cross between a slam and a crunch. My head almost hit the dashboard, but the airbag came out and cushioned my fall. then another car slammed into us from behind. And caused a minor pile-up. The airbag smelled horrible, and we had to wait for a while for the cops to get everything settled and to get the cars towed. Im glad nobody got hurt.

So... as for my friday, it sucked. Swim practice this morning was a BIATCH and i got a couple of bad grades in english and history. GRRRAAAAAAGHGHGHG!!!!! i cannot WAIT until history is over. ]]> ~XSYSTM47 http://XSYSTM47.deviantart.com/journal/3702111/ http://XSYSTM47.deviantart.com/journal/3702111/ Fri, 29 Oct 2004 14:20:43 PDT
Well, today I had a pounding headache and the fact that we had a pep rally did NOT help matters at all. And it also did not help because I have to sit next to this annoying-ass religious nut who screams at the top of his lungs so loud that the teacher actually has to come over to our table and tell him to shut up. He's seriously less immature than most of the freshmen in that class.

god, i cannot write anymore... my head burns from all the pressure that's been placed on my head... better go play some video games. ]]> ~XSYSTM47 http://XSYSTM47.deviantart.com/journal/3649841/ http://XSYSTM47.deviantart.com/journal/3649841/ Fri, 22 Oct 2004 15:45:25 PDT
"Why do you use those stupid magic words?" you ask.
Why? Because it's almost halloween... and my stupid swimming coach won't let me sleep in saturday morning because we have a meet at 8:30AM, but I have to be at the bus at 7AM. BASTARD!!

Oh yeah, one more important thing that I forgot to mention...

1,000 HITS!!!! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYY!!! I'd mainly like to thank gojita for noticing it before I did >.< (d'OH!!!) And I would also like to thank my good visitors who made this possible. ROUNDS OF APPLAUSE FOR ALL!

ok, that was somewhat odd, but I do have some new artwork on the way that I will hopefully get finished this weekend on top of the mounds and piles of homework that I have to do...

ok enough of that.

World History AP sucks @$$... i got my first horrible test grade and now i feel like an idiot compared to all of my friends who are geniuses. Heck, I was a genius once, but it somehow left me and possible won't return until I really need it. Or maybe all this time I thought I was a genius, but really wasn't. Or maybe...

MAYBE IT ALL JUST DESERVES TO GO TO HELL. (sorry, i just had to say that) I just had an academically bad day today... almost fell asleep in English, and im almost falling asleep right nnnnoowww..............

Of course, i have put a little humor into it, or else nobody would like it.

Right now, i'm wondering if being perfect is really worth the trouble. Im not gonna kill myself to find the answer (speaking figuratively).


My dog keeps pawing at my foot as i write this and he won't leave me alone, so i pet him and he leaves me alone... i wish i was that easy to please, just simple enough to be happy. I think man was granted with too much free space in his mind, beyond what is necessary to survive and such.

Here's the stats:

1.33 GHz G4 processor
Mac OS X Panther
12 inch screen (small but satisfactory)
700-something MB of RAM
60 GB hard drive

and theres some other stuff, so i dont have time to write it down. I know that some will hate me for getting a Mac, but I deemed it necessary. fulfills my creative and scholastic needs, and works pretty much in unison with my PC. To sum it up, the thing kicks ass, and hopefully you will see some more new artwork from me, since i can work in the privacy of my own room.

and SOMEDAY my own apartment. ]]> ~XSYSTM47 http://XSYSTM47.deviantart.com/journal/3489323/ http://XSYSTM47.deviantart.com/journal/3489323/ Fri, 01 Oct 2004 16:38:04 PDT
Are there ANY people out there that are with me? Or am I going to have to live with strictly republican conservatives for the rest of my life that dont care about anybody's view but their own? People who basically tell me that my democratic beliefs are lies smother me with their comments day by day... and I hate it. Especially when these kids are on the debate team, which makes it even worse.

blah. So, what about the subject of this entry? I am beginning to get increasingly sick of windows. Its glitch after glitch after glitch, and some of it cannot be fixed (most of it being my fault) and my parents want me to buy my own computer to break withough them losing any of their stuff.

i've actually been thinking about getting one of those new iMacs, the G5 ones.

[link]

the thing is awesome. I went to an electronics store yesterday and used one. ahh, so clean, simple and creative. a lot of people will hate me for buying one, but its probably for the best.

now if only i could find time to draw... ]]> ~XSYSTM47 http://XSYSTM47.deviantart.com/journal/3362950/ http://XSYSTM47.deviantart.com/journal/3362950/ Tue, 14 Sep 2004 14:38:27 PDT
Also, I can seem to find no time to get some artwork or enjoyment in between the insane amounts of work i have been doing. But, i'm not going to whine: i'm actually quite satisfied with my grades so far... being the beginning of the year.

World History AP-85
English 2 Pre-AP-89
Geometry Pre-AP-86-point-something

Sure, i can do better. I can do much better. And I'm going to. But i need time to do better on my artwork... thats what the dilemma is. And all my files and records on DDR have been erased, but i can rebuild.

Theme? Despite the damage and hardness of life I can reconstruct what has been broken by the pressure placed on my head. How great it is to be human. ]]> ~XSYSTM47 http://XSYSTM47.deviantart.com/journal/3279501/ http://XSYSTM47.deviantart.com/journal/3279501/ Fri, 03 Sep 2004 17:12:33 PDT
BUT FOR IT HE PUNISHES EVERYBODY ELSE!!!!!!
i hate being yelled at for stuff i didnt do. Its one of those things i CANNOT stand.

on a lighter note, ive been producing more art lately. I did this nice drawing after Geometry and this girl at my table loved it. Alot. In fact, she tried to steal it from me. At least my art is appreciated by SOME people..

School can be a serious bitch sometimes, and its not because of the classes. Its because of the people im surrounded by.
