It's an account of how
I had to rip in two.

Here, on the edge, where the horizon begins,
it's easiest to chat with even the devil over a
cup of coffee.

Here, my best friends turn into my enemies,
and my worst nemesis becomes my most respected
ally against all.

I would like to conduct a research experiment.
Call it a test, of sorts, if you will.

I almost forgot to mention, the water's coming
soon. This will all come down. Get out of here
while you can, okay? Or you'll surely -

Last entry indeed! You won't even see this one unless you're sharp or just forgot what the last one said!

There is a reason based much much more on past and present as to why I have changed everything!

It begins here in the present.

You'll see if you search search search, because I'm not going to hunt anymore.
Not for people.



Hunt me, but if you don't, I'll devour the world sooner or later, you'll know it.

Hellow everyone!

I am updating to destroy the low gravity of the last entry, because I am completely over my spell, and only a little proud of overcoming it.
It helped to just work and play out my music in my head.

And I am multitimbral, and I will never be destroyed, from beginning to end.

They are coming in number, and they are all enemies, but inseperable.

I am looking for MIDI recievers, which come pretty cheap as rack hardware standalone, and when I find one I am going to hook it to my PSR-175 for some cheap effects (really this is just for reverb and decay).

I am listening to QOTSA, always the win. They are touring with NIN this fall, and I am dying to catch one of those shows. Dying. The amount that I want to go to one of their shows is about 98% of the amount I want to go to Japan.
They will be in California in August with special guest Autolux, so I am hoping they will make it to St. Louis or Chicago.
The pieces are fitting together. Nin were touring with the Dresden Dolls a bit.
And these links are my current activities.

So rack systems are 300% or more cheaper than their keyboard counterparts. Does this mean I can do what I would with a Roland RD700-SX what I could do with it's rack counterpart, a simple 88-key controller, and an 8 track recorder?

Anyway, I want to share with you my wishlist of equipment. Obviously I don't have the $20,000 needed to actually have all of this, yet, so it's just a rundown of what I want.

Hi everyone. This entry will be a more traditional journal entry.

Today has been really great. Myself, Ross, Gerardo and Rosa went to St. Charles to get her ultrasound done. They got pictures from it. It will be a girl. And we got her next doctor's appointment changed to July 28th, which made me very happy. I am going to need to request off July 27th for Rosa's birthday party, but the 28th I'll be fine. I'm really sleepy right now, and I do need to sleep. But I just wanted to input how nice today was. We ate at Applebee's, good God I had too much chicken. On the drive home we were overcome by a rather unexpected wind and hail storm and there was a lot of wind, but it's passed over for the most part.
To be in that dark room seeing the baby inside her stomach on the screen really made me feel special. It was just me and Gerardo and the nurse, with Rosa laying on the hospital bed. I just felt so close. It's a great feeling.
Don't you see, what you can learn in this world. It pays off with more than money. I got that priceless experience today, and it never cost me a dime to learn any of the Spanish I did, just time.
I really wish I had a daughter.
It's really funny when the personnel ask me if I'm the father o__o; No, I should be so lucky.
I have some people, young women, whom I plan to try to ask out. But I think I want to finish my trip first, change back to my old shift, and so my stuff will be in order.

Now I've heartburn and two hours before I have to start packing my lunch, getting dressed and biking, so I'll be off.


All of you have wonderful preweekends, I'll see you around.




Ashes


PS. I sent about SEVEN of you compatibility tests. It's not intended as anything relationship-related, but the tests on that site really are neat. This particular test shows how complimentary we are to eachother, something I only thought remotely curious, but I actually was excited at the idea of a test that really asked both parties questions and then produced results. Take it! And send it to everyone you know! Or if you want.

=riceball, welcome so much back from Japan. XD; As Roux put it, the western world has our gothteddy again. But I never felt without. All I had to do was point down to the ground, if a little to the west, and there you were (give or take a few thousand miles through rock and crust). And the DREAMS had plenty of HalfPanda in them. I vote you should write one more Wombat to summarize your trip. ; ;


Hellow all else. How are you this Thursday?

I wish TBM would release a new CD, or I wish I could find all of the older Imagica stuff. On a CD.

I'm putting off buying anymore CDs until I go to Japan where I can get imports amazingly cheap and without having to pay shipping. The imports, as you may know, always have three or four bonus tracks and extra artwork and come with free ponies and unicorns and elves and all these other neat features. But these are what I have on my current sampler wishlist, if I can even find them.

Gackt's Crescent
A Perfect Circle's Mer de Noms
Franz Ferdinand's new deluxe edition s/t release
Anything by Shiina Ringo but Myori Utite
Marilyn Manson's Portrait of an American Family
Jack Off Jill's Humid Teenage Mediocrity Demo Compilation
Tweaker's American McGee's Alice OST (again, damn it)
Tweaker's 2AM Wakeup call

Anything else imported by:
Manic Street Preachers
Elliott Smith
Nine Inch Nails
A Perfect Circle
Deerhoof
White Stripes
The Vines
The Strokes
Queens of the Stone Age
Interpol c.c
Collide
Incubus
Radiohead
Eagles of Death Metal
The Distillers

I think there are alot of others, but I can't recall them yet. I'm just going to grab grab grab.

I am going to sample a lot of new japanese rock bands as well, though my faith in them is low, I think I've discovered the key to their songwriting methods o___O.


I would like to announce I have purchased a very cheap Yamaha PSR-175 ($90) and while it is useless for the most part, I do love the Organ variations and the synth parts it is able to use I swear I've heard on TBM's Nothing and Nowhere CD.

So I am learning, God help me.

Love you all.

-Ashes.




Tell me, what releases musically or cinematically can you just not wait for?

Oh my darlings.
My beautiful ones.
The red carpet is still out, and rightfully so. Are you ready?
Today is beautiful.
Every day is beautiful.
You don't even have to look outside.
Even the most plain of days are beautiful.
The ones that light your inner fire and ignite your tastes are blessed.

, my ex girlfriend Lanna (Lannita), and I have made peace for the lifetimes ahead of us. This was done half a week ago as I asked permission for certain pictures I submitted. She's an amazing painter, the only material she lacks is CONFIDANCE, and she can't buy that for herself, so let's hunt some up for her!
WE won't be disappointed with the results.
It makes me happy to be alive, even more so, because I feel as though a three-year-wide gap in my soul has been filled with the freshest of soil ready to plant anything I damn well want to in.

HALO 19, WITH_TEETH has arrived, the import.
I suppose one can only image how much this is going to drive me musically.
It's going to create the most energetic.....

I CAN'T STOP MOVING!


CANT

I am just so excited. KILL IT WITH FIRE.

I'VE GOT MY RAZOR SHARP TEETH.

I want to thank endlessly for her support and adding to me some valuable and expansive bodies of energy and inspiration. I cannot wait until she becomes 100% active on her stock account.

Tryn 4 is up and out, and 5 is on the way in my heart.

I hope not a soul minds my transmogrifications of them in Tryn because I wish only to create something lovely with it.


Again, . If only because her icon is really cute.

I wish you all the best to the very highest.
Which is impossible, because you can always go higher.
And I love at you all.
UNTIL NEXT TIME.

HI HI HI. <3

I'm just here to announce the good news, to roll out the red carpet, to blow the trumpet and to salute.

~makimaki has returned to dA (again) and is on a roll submitting her perfect-quality paintings of various Jrock superstars.

Her other account is just being used for my personal printing wants as of now.

Go pay her homage and be sure to wipe your drool before you leave. She's Queen of Diamonds, remember.

In other news,
-I have finished a demo of Carnibol Cirque, an easy accordion-only track, and will be happy to submit it after I get it onto the laptop.
-I am doing Terrorist as well. I finished the drum line altogether, and I'm working on 12 strings. It sounds GOOD.
-I bought an XLR adapter for my GNX4. You have no idea what I'm talking about?
-It will let me hook up my mic the way it's supposed to be.
-So now I can do drums, line, guitar, and vocals alltogether at once.
-Thus the time decreasing.
-I'm on a damned roll! And so I'll have MATERIAL for the streets of Tokyo!
-Rosa's next OBGYN appointment in on the 24th. Happy and relieved, I am.
-As you may know, I have recieved my second =riceball dA cup.
-Things on B are going well. I worked one night on the other shift for the other QC.
-Voice still fucked. I sound like some damn druggy kid. So not quite yet the singing.
-Arms are getting bigger. This is good.
-Magali invited me to her daughter's birthday. HOW SWEET!
-Cristina asked my number and has it.
-I have a bike. o_o;

That is all. expect more photos from the Zoo in St. Louis after I go through the bulk and weed out the good ones.
LOVE ALL OF YOU, OMG I'M SOO ADD-RITALIN HAPPY.
fuxu lol.
WAIT.
WAIT.
I need your help, again.
1. What do you get a three-year old girl for her birthday?

...SOMETHING HELLO KITTY!?

Hello Cheshired.

I am recording. While you won't see anything on my 15megsoffame page for a few days, it's because my throat is rotted from the inside out due to a virus I have obtained just the night before last.
I'll call in work and take off Wednesday. This way, I can take my friends to St. Charle's to get Rosa her OBGYN appointment finally and none of us will have to worry about anything. I HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF MY SISTERS, K.

Except, Gayle damnit answer your phone because I need to know if you'll TAKE US.

I found two CDs I had backed up in November last year and on them pictures of my Mississippi trips. That's the reason for my recent submissions. I can't believe the bits of attention they brought in. But I was looking for them because I told Gerardo my ex looked exactly like Karina from D, except American. And Karina's the spitting image. Short, sad face, big eyes. Tomboy. I'll miss her when she goes back to Mexico in a few months.
Anyway, I might take some pictures today while out walking.

So, I'm retuning my 12 String for some interesting accidental chords and messing with my grandfather's diatonic accordion. Soon, Pandora will be REAL and IN EXISTANCE. Just as soon as my Pepcid stops conflicting with my Tylenol throat syrup. The results from these two together equal a total hell. I've been...burping fire.

Things are going better than I thought they would on B shift. Many of the people welcomed me back. One young woman forgot who I was.
I sold my last two Spanish dictionaries to Christina. I have to buy another set now~. This isn't about money as much as it is about feeling good when I can provide English aids to my friends.
Gerardo and nearly everyone on D told me I wouldn't come back to their shift because of Christina.
Well, that's silly, but she keeps switching machines with people, talking to extras from the D shift, and switching back. And when I get to checking the D shifter's machine, they ask me if I have a girlfriend casually.
So I wonder.
She can never know about all that stuff I intended to give her on Valentine's Day c_c...

Magali asked me for my phone number on my last night on D. That really made me feel good
She's 39 and married, so no ideas. But she's SUCH A SWEET WOMAN. And I had this crush on her I always poke at her husband Alex about.
I remember saying, "If I were a little bit older I'de steal her away from him."

Soon I will up the Trynchrocity ante and when that story is finished my dearling rice has convinced me to write again a very old story I once had on paper and put it on dA where it will be adored and cried over by millions.

My grandma saw me last week at the grocery store and gave me a copy of my father's CD. You can look at it here if you didn't see it yet.
[link]
Many people say I look just like my mom until they see him.

I spent $20 on drum software about a month ago. I am considering buying this software for another $20 that lets you use your computer keyboard as a synthesizer. It comes with a lot of sounds and whatnot already as well.
And it has a very minimalistic interface, which appeals to me. I will probably jump on that today.

Yesterday I bought this cute little mini-sized controller for my ps1. I never play anymore, but I just had to have it. It's a cute little bugger.

I have 8 Japanese-aid books as of now. It's really tiring to look through them because every time they bring up something useful, it's something I know. But for the life of me, I can't remember anything by heart I used to study. It's frusterating as all hell.

I've been listening to NIN nonstop, save for my new QOTSA cd. The WITH_TEETH Japan import is on it's way from Amazon.
Deathgirl.com, they're so...MEDIOCRE. Gmail users, expect mp3s soon.

You know, I've been thinking on and off.
This year it's Japan. Next year it's Recording arts in either Ohio, Florida or Canada, and the year after that my friends are going off back to Mexico. I'm going to go with them and attend a DELE preparation class so I can take the exam and get Spanish-speaking certification.

Yes, well, I'm off.

I want you all to do something for me.

1; think of a label you wouldn't mind having and being called.<... ]]> ~ashbrokensyn http://ashbrokensyn.deviantart.com/journal/5247156/ http://ashbrokensyn.deviantart.com/journal/5247156/ Mon, 02 May 2005 13:18:32 PDT

Bits and pieces, Cheshired.


First things first!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY =riceball. YOU ARE THE FUCKING PWN-CHANS KENNY. I LOVE YOU. YO TE AMO. WATASHI WA ANATA O AISHITEIRU.

I will kick Josh Homme in the ass for adding the rhythm synth sounds at the end of their first album. Last fucking nerve. Shattered.

I'm sad. I had to change shifts at work. I'll be on shift B for six weeks - someone console me. By the time I get used to it I'll have to change back.

I am configuring my journal to look different, and I'm going to implement the shoutbox with thumbnails.

I joined a dA club based on the Ring/ringu movies, but I have no idea why.

6 books now specializing in helping me with my Japanese.

The ReWonderland motto in Japan will be Itsumo Isshou.

I have the 5.1 digital surround sound mix of NIN's The Downward Spiral and I can hear a difference on the first track. I can hear deconstruction. That makes me happy.

Recently I finished finding Halo 17, And All That Could of Been. It was released as two seperate discs and a DVD, and now I have them all. Some of the stuff on the DVD is really cool.

I HAVE MY RAIL PASS. I sent Isi her money and informed her this morning. She bought them in advance. I'm covered for free train rides ALL OVER JAPAN from July 11th to the 25th.

Ten months single and counting. I don't know where I EVER GOT THE TIME.

My lack of deviations doesn't disturb me. My account's use of genuine Japanese photos is imminent.

Feedback, comments on the weather. Anything. Would be much appreciated.

or, What are you listening to right now?


JESUS, IF IT'S ONE TRACK THAT SHOWS A DIFFERENCE, IT'S RUINER.

Hello Cheshired. It's a long one today, so take your bathroom break now.

I take longer and longer to update between journals, but everything is fine. I've just been as busy as a halfass can be, making mental preparations and wishing I had my camera at just that moment the other day.

_{Appy polly logies.}
And whoever guesses where that's really from will get a prize.

How are you all doing? Stop and take tea with me? How is the weather? How are politics? How is school going? How goes the current dA experience? Are you getting things done? Are you getting enough rest? Are you dodging hurricanes? Aren't the people on your watch list doing a fantastic job? Do you know what you want to do in life?
Are you doing the best you can?
Can you keep going?

Yes yes, I ask myself those about every day at some point, and I get pretty positive results, usually.

Only two months and twenty something days until my trip to Japan. I'm actually pretty well ready as far as packing goes!
I've got my camcorder and 3.1/5mp camera with head cleaner and tapes and a tripod and everything, and it's all digital. But my camcorder doesn't do exactly what I thought it did, which is transfer movies from the device to the computer. My camera takes 13 minute movies in .avi format with its 128mb SD card and can do this, but they are without sound. My camcorder uses 1 hour tapes to record on, and it can snapshot at any moment onto its 128mb SD card. I'll find a way to make movies from it eventually, I suppose.

I've my tickets. I'm still working on my passport - I've recieved a letter asking me to submit a few more things establishing my identity, and I picked out about six things.

I'll bring pajamas. I think I'll actually be sleeping with Maria o_o; Our apartment is one bed. Now get that mind out of the gutter. We're good children. I call her sister.

I'm bringing my Galveston travel guitar. Actually I bought this on eBay last night before leaving for work. Look at it! So portable and cuuuute.
[link]
I'm so happy my KORG is going out as of now for $162.50. I think I didn't pay that much for it.

Ahh, but I'm finished now with fair weather talk (the weather outside is quite gray, but that's fair to me).
I'm getting tired, but I still want to talk. Just for the sake of talking.

Do you have any secrets you were just dying inside to throw somewhere, or onto someone? I don't know if I've got any. I think I have a lot of unprofessed thoughts, but they would all come out if I were asked just the right questions. I think I'de like to be asked things. Not through questionaires or subtle fill-ins, but directly, where there would be room for reaction.

Here are some things exclusively about me.
If I think about the past, I regret time I've wasted.
If I think about the present, I become productive.
If I think about the future, I lag behind with planning and the fore-and-shadow that come with it.
So I think I'll only think about the present.

My favorite drink/pop/soda that isn't coffee or tea is Sun Drop.

Today I help Rosa and Gerardo get help from the church and WIC so they can get an OBGYN to deliver her baby. I'll make myself some hot tea when I come back, sleep, then go to work. I'm off all weekend. I did a lot of instrument-arranging for The Reinbeau Reich while at work last night. I'm proud of myself.

Gerardo and Rosa are my best Mexican friends. I hope to watch their child grow up, at least for the first few years.
Ricky and Joe are my best american friends. I'll never shake them.
I want to learn more from and get to know Rick's girlfriend Erin better. She's exceptionally talented and nice.
Someday I will take Kenny touring with me on the RW bus/boat/jet. And she'll have backstage and stage and instrument and anything she wants access.
I've been convinced to go visiting Malaysia and sightsee Oceania.
One day I will show Maria the NorthAmerican world, and in turn I want her to show me what life is in Europe.

I will tell you about something I want.
I'll give Gackt for an example. Do you know him? Or of him? He reportedly knows how to play at least 17 instruments. I want to surpass or equal something like this. I want to learn guitar better. On top of that, there are several different guitars I want to play. I want to play bass better. I think myself really good at bass, but there are much better players. I think i would drum and percussion excellently. I want to learn piano.

This here is my drum machine / Rhythm Synth.
[link]
It has seen good and healthy use, now it is ready to teach another willing mechanical percussionist how to program analog loops.

I need to save up money faster and upgrade anyway.


I had no idea Shiina Ringo joined Tokyo Jihen until about a month ago, but I was checking on her for a while waiting for a new release, and I wish she'd of given a lot more notification. At any rate, I'm listening to their first CD "Education" now. It's a bit fast, and a bit light. To be fair, so was her last release or two solo. But I still love her.

I bought a drill. I'm going to do things.

Tomorrow we go to Bowling Green to advance Rosa's temporary medicaid another month.

I should get my camcorder tomorrow. @@;

That is all, everything is minor right now.

I do hope Halfpanda is having a pwn of a good time in CANDYDISNEYLAND. Personally I've only ever been to Six Flags in St. Louis, so going to Disneyland in Tokyo might be a really good idea if my finances allow c_c;

LIVE TODAY LOVING.

Good evening.

So here's what happens!

-I've moved into my brother's room, and he's moved into mine; this way he is cozier and I have more space to do whatever is needed with sound and recording equipment.

-There are very crappy, all-instrumental demos over at my 15megsoffame account, listed at the bottom of this journal. Critique please.

-^{I have Lullabies to Paralyze coming to me in the mail and I can't wait for With Teeth.}

-I'm selling my guitar and my KORG to get a better guitar and a KORG EM-X. And I changed my mind about the Heartbreaker. But I'm still in desperate need of a beautiful artist electric guitar, 6 string preferable. Ditto for bass. Actually, I just need better pickups for both.

-I have a digital camcorder coming in the mail! But I'm VERY proud of my new camera, which goes up to 5.0mp. I can finally take some impressionable photos.



That's about all for now, I don't want to be late for work. So live today loving. And I'll see you on the weekend!




-Read TRYNCHROCITY. It's only THREE chapters right now so you have NO excuse not to.

HOLA MI CHESHIRADOS!

This weekend was well spent! But it's too much to translate, and so I'll spare the details.

Ring TwO comes out March 18th.

I'll be taking Rick, Erin, Gerardo and Rosa to Troy to watch it on the 20th if it kills me.

So who are they? Well, here's the breifing:
Rick is one of my best american friends, about like a brother;
Erin is his girlfriend two years running, and one fuck of a piano player. We've already discussed her entry into my potential band!
Gerardo is my best Mexican (Puebla) friend, and Rosa is his wife...uhm, two years running .
If Erin doesn't drive us, Gayle will - That's Rick's sister.

Because the setting of Rick's house in the afternoon was enough to induce me to paranoia after watching the first Ring. Instead of emulating that, which would be effective, I want to see it in theatres.

I recieved my Pimsluer Learning Approach (first 8 lessons, audio CD) today for learning Japanese. I am really surprised on how much I've recovered, but hopefully this will get me prepared for getting completely lost in Tokyo. You know, just in case Maria and Isi whom speak the language professionally aren't around. <3<3<3


_{Make me say shit, Goddamn; I'm a man, I'm a man.}


Oh, and I guess also I want to do something nice today for someone. She is my ex. I confess she's the reason I was so angsty in my early journals, but now she's being downed by evil bug deviants and after several months of growing up and sorting out my life I should think this a travesty. I'm fortunate to have only come across...one of those o_o; ever.
But do pay her a visit and compliment her, she does good good good.
~DestructiveAesthetic


And I want to spotlight ~ EverybodyLookAtMe, as well as ~ synERgy--- again, two of the most wonderful writers I've come across on dA.
And I want to say here KENNY you are missed much, I hope you're safe and souuund. Weekly Wombat goddamnit.
Now, let's see all of us how well I can do (some of) this in Spanish. Correct me if you notice a mistake!

Live Life Loving!

Ashes



_{I'm getting closer, all the time.}




Ring TwO se lanza en 18 de Marzo.

Si Erin no se nos conducirá, entonces Gayle sí. Es hermana de Rick.

Hoi yo recibí mi Pimsleur Learning Approach, leccions de japonesa en discos audios. <3

Yo quiero dicir hola a mi amiga * riceball, y salud!
Y yo quiro tu les ves a ~ EverybodyLookAtMe y ~ DestructiveAesthetic y :synergy---: tambien.

Hello all.

I've not much to say, save that I've been busy busy busy. And spending the hell out of my money on things that must be spent upon.

Yesterday my day was spent with Gerardo and Rosa as I got a hold of Gayle and her girlfriend and convinced them to take us to Bowling Green to get G&R some medical financial help.
Rosa is pregnant, if I hadn't mentioned that already. I demanded the child call me Uncle Carlos. But, they need help, or it's going to cost them $9,000 to have it, and that's if everything goes well.
If it's a girl, they want to name it Cynthia (my mom's name).
Happy thoughts. When Rosa has the baby, it'll be a US citizen, then she will be a US citizen. I need to research more on that.

Winter's waving its big paws goodbye, leaving us with longer days and shorter nights. So I think I'll walk out and get more Crystal Light drink mix sticks.

I've nothing else to report, but I do have my passport photos, and I'll have my ticket just as soon as I lift a limit my bank has put on my debit card c.c; I'll be flying AAA to Los Angeles, will enjoy the two hour holdover there purchasing LA souvenir gifts, then I'll be with JAL to Tokyo, Narita airport.

Happy Happy Happy...

Maria has her ticket and all of that now, and is currently finalizing our room situation. I need a rail pass n.n;

See you whenever! c.c;

Cheshired!

First things first. Here is my gift for you! Unless you have been keeping very good tabs on it, then you already know. It is the new trailer for The Ring 2. And I STILL CRY WITH EXCITEMENT.

[link]



I wish you all a pleasant day on this day. Not because it is any different than any other day of the year - shame on you entirely if this is the only day that you have to use as an excuse to let your raison d'etre know you love them! - but because it is a fine Monday indeed, a little cold, somewhat on the sunny side here in NorthEast Misery; but a good Monday for starting out the week, one of the type we so rarely get, provided the rest of life outside of lighting, temperature and weather aren't introduced yet.
Let me tell you about my weekend.

I have two songs created solely on my rhythm machine. One has some grungy bass, too. I think I have finally mastered the KORG ER-1. But I think that means it's time for a new rhythm machine! And now I know what to look for. Something that plays MIDI, but with a variety of different drum kits.
I'll try to get them up sometime when I'm off ^^.

My sickness has passed and I'm at 100% health again.

Saturday I had a hangover. My first, and last, I promise you that. We decided to celebrate (I suppose to celebrate my income taxes, because I can't think of any other reason, and we really made a big deal out of it O__o and we invited Gerardo and Rosa over for the first time to eat dinner with us. They were happy to. We invited Joe as well, but he didn't show until after they had left y__y;.

I had five 40% (80 proof) tequila shots, some more tequila mixed with some mountain dew, and a margarita (eww).
And I am not going to go into what I did during my hangover, but I was thankful only my family and Joe were there n.n;

It's hard to listen to The Fragile when All that could of Been is in your CD player. It's such a BEAUTIFUL disc. But I'll relent sooner or later.

I work tonight. I hope Cristina is working. ^^ I have my compilation package for her all finished. The only thing missing is a music CD, and I'de sooo love to give her one, but music is such a thin area between myself and these spanish. TT;

SO I shall depart now. Keep an eye out for my projects, because they are growing in quality. I'm writing upp the 13 chapter sequel to Synchrocity: A Nightmare brought to Ashes. I am naming it Trynchrocity: A Dream fed to Crows. Two chapters are finished ^_^;
But you should go read Synch if you really like it. Then, everything will make much more sense!

I am manipulating photos. o__o; Not currently, but it's another thing to watch for.

Now I am going to close and try my best to translate all of this into Spanish. I have been getting behind on that, you know.



Ashes, who s all of the lot of you.

PS: I almost forgot to mention my new 12 string acoustic electric guitar which I have recieved in the mail that is BEAUTIFUL AND BLACK AND HAS A HARDSHELL CASE. All for $175. I love ebay. Expect photos.


<sub>Just a reflection, just a glimpse, just a little reminder.

Please
Take this, and
run far away. Far
as you can see.


I'll build a wall where we can keep them on the other side</sub>














Cheshirado!

Las primeras cosas son primeras. Aqui esta mi regalo para ti! Tal vez ya sabes n.n; Es el preestreno nuevo para The Ring 2. Y yo TODAVIA LLORO CON ENTUSIASMO.

[link]

Es mi deseo que ustedes tengan un muy bien dia hoi. No porque es un dia diferente que todos los otros dias, pero porque es un bien lunes, un poco frio, un poco soleado.
Mm...te diga acerca de mi fin de semana.

Yo tengo dos canciones hacen solamente en mi maquina de tambores. Uno tiene bajo tambien. Pienso tengo finalmente conquiste el KORG ER-1. Pero pienso tambien es vez por un nuevo maquina de tambores. Y ya se que buscar. Un maquina que puede tocar MIDI, pero con muchos diferentes tambor tipos.
Cuando no trabajo, te dare.

Sabado yo tuve una resaca ._. mi primero, y mi ULTIMA. Tuve sinco tragos de tequila, uno mas con Mountain Dew, y uno margarita (buuuh).
No... ]]> ~ashbrokensyn http://ashbrokensyn.deviantart.com/journal/4528327/ http://ashbrokensyn.deviantart.com/journal/4528327/ Tue, 08 Feb 2005 10:21:29 PST ^{¿¡Broken Syn!?}


Hello Cheshired.
Take this little quiz thing if wanted. It's for you!
I am loving how wonderful 5.1 surround sound is. I just fixed my bass problem I've been having. Fun!

I am off this weekend. I may be playing bass for a friend of a friend of a friend's band he's trying to form. They've got a singer and two guitarists, and they'de like a bass player and a drum machine. So I might just be pretty neccessary.


I talked to Cristina last Wednesday, and I found out she's not stuck up like I thought before. I went with Gerardo and Rosa to Wal-Mart yesterday, and we each got these Durabrand subwoofer and 5 speaker sets so spice up our rooms. While there, I got some V-day cards and a little music box/bear combo for Cris. I don't know if she'll be working our shift or not, but a days or two early or late won't make a difference. I hope.


Rosa's got me a backup XD; She was talking to her sister on the phone and she absolutely made me say hello to her. I was looking for the words "Cual es su nombre?" but that came out most awkwardly as "Cuantos anos tienes?" and noone could keep from laughing -____-.
But her name is Marasela. She's coming to the US next year, happiness~!
Ahhh me. Wish me luck.


In other news, I've made some cups from ~riceball's Her Cup Of Tea. I have both 11oz and a 15oz variations coming to me in the mail I think today.
It's a struggle to get the other prints as posters approved. First I had to get dA her permission, then I had to fix some rotation issues. Now I have to resubmit them not as stretched out.
I can't believe how much recognition my Geisha vs. Geisha has recieved o_o; but such are the audiences of dA.

Bla bla bla bla bla onto the surveyer. Have fun. I'm going to drink some homemade Mexican chocolate milk, goddamnit. <3

GOOD LORD.


Hihi! Everyone. ^^

I am ALMOST FINISHED. Well, basically, I am. Outside of a real studio, this is as close to perfect as I'm going to get. Al of the volumes of the instruments are about equal, so it's nothing professionally engineered or mixed...and it lacks both the resident parts and the singing...But I'll finish those touches next update ^_^.
I PRESENT TO YOU.

ReWonderland^Broken - METOPORISU DE (a rondo)

Please note the song may say it's waiting for approval. Just go back in an hour or tomorrow and it'll be up for grabds. That's how the administration system works there at 15megs. ^^

It's a demo. Comments welcome. Tips on what the volumes should be on each of the parts would be very welcome too. I don't want it to all be hurtful on the ears, which it is.

It's important to me. This is, once finished, one of the songs on the final demo I'll be handing out copies of in Japan.

By the way, my mom isn't worried about me going anymore. She was an episode of Tom Green where he went to several places in Tokyo. He was making a spectacle of himself as usual, but the places he was doing it at were so safe and public-friendly. My mom was impressed at the culture.

Yes, it was supposed to be finished sooner. But a lot has happened over the weekend. Allow me to share, as per usual when you consider how journals go.

Thursday morning, at the factory. By morning, I mean 2-6AM.
My friend Gerardo convinced me throughout the night that the thing to do was ask Cristina out. To do that and get a likely positive response, I would ask her to go with me, Gerardo and Rosa to Pizza Hut on Friday for lunch. This took me an unbeleivable amount of nerve. She was working my table/machine/mold, punch hangers; with Rosa and Magali. So I was already frequenting the table to help them out and offer them peppermints and coffee and so on . Well, I kept faltering, and I just couldn't do it. Gerardo told me offer her a soda. But I couldn't! So I offered her something I was more comfortable with; Coffee, which we could make in the office and distribute for free. Well, I went to make coffee (she said yes, she wanted some..score! ^_^. But when it was finished, Ross made her the cup and brought it to her, knowing my intentions. So I was ruined. And kind of pissed off ;_;. But ah. I thought giving up was an alternative already.

I have a crush on this girl and I've been single for about six or seven months. I've only had two girlfriends my whole life. And she's Mexican. One has to look past or excuse my bashfulness!

Onward. It's two minutes until I have to do paperwork at 7; and once I go in that office, I can't leave until it's all done. It takes around half an hour if we're lucky, and at 7:30 the whole shift ends and everyone is leaving. So I'm over there asking the table their birthdays (Magali's and Alexander's are in February! What to DO!? >.< and Ross comes up to fix the machine, which just went down. He blatantly yells at Cristina "HEY! CARLOS LIKES YOU! XD HE AND ROSA AND GERARDO ARE TALKING ABOUT GETTING PIZZ-"

I shut him up. I'm not letting it go this way, so I thank him loudly and call her attention, my face friggin' red , and I ask her if she'd like to go for pizza friday with Rosa, Gerardo and myself.

SHE SAYS YES!!! OMFG.

I do get pissed at Ross and Jim for being fucktards, though. Jim tells me give up, she has a boyfriend (she doesn't, he left for Guatemala O_o) and when I try to tell him it's none of his business, he says it is because we're in his factory. I can understand that, but only if I'm affecting her production, which I'm not.

It doesn't matter. The morning ends and I go in that night, beaming like I never do. I'm so happie! And only a little nervous. I start thinking of all the stuff I'll do to try and make her laugh, or get her interest, or just talk to her about. I can't hardly think of anything else. The shift ends and it's Friday morning.

I get a cab to G&R's where we make plans to go to the bank, then go to Cristina's house. She lives with three other off-shifters. Well, when we get there....

I knock on the door, and Guadalupe answers, hair disarrayed.
"Esta Cristina?" that's me.
"Cri... ]]> ~ashbrokensyn http://ashbrokensyn.deviantart.com/journal/4412436/ http://ashbrokensyn.deviantart.com/journal/4412436/ Tue, 25 Jan 2005 15:08:01 PST ^{¿¡Broken Syn!?}

Hello my peeps, gangstas and hoes. o.o
I have something for you! But let's save it for climax, so read my rising action.

I am in total awe. Just at life in general. I came home after 14 hours of work on Monday to redo Maki's site at her request and fell out dead for a good nine hours upon half completion. I awoke in a slanted mood, but this turned to a holy and blessed feeling of happiness and joy because *riceball was on and I got to talk to her. I missed her I won't get to see her in Japan after all , but this simplifies a lot of what I was about to throw myself into, and I can stay for less time, keeping me on my boss's good side ;
Still, that's no substitute. The Broken Mad and the Hybrid Panda will one day cross paths.

Some things I need for the trip are:

-The damn $1,200 ticket
-My passport
-A new laptop capable of storing Heaven on it's HDD with a CD-R/DVD combo drive
-A voltage converter
-At least a 4.1 Megapixel camera with mp3 and video capabilities
-A US Cellular Mobile Phone
-Country codes for dialing o_o;;
-Copies of a CD with my very own music on it ^___^;
-Loads and loads of money.

People at work are going to try and fix me up with Christina, a realllly tiny and realllly cute Mexican who looks Chinese. I remember working with her last year on my favorite mold, punch hangers...if you go shopping at Wal-Mart, look for Mainstays or Homz Trouser and Skirt Hangers with 7200/2 marked in the corner...those come from my factory, bitch XD;...she can do them as fast as I can and can work pretty damn hard in general. I can't wait to see how that turns out. Her ex-boyfriend has a wife in Guatemala and he's done hit the road (as in immigration), and she probably knows about my Spanish studying, so that'd be actually kind of cool o.o; it's just too bad she works the opposite shift.

I recieved the best game boy advance game I'll probably ever play, Astro Boy: Omega Factor. Yeah, laugh it up. I like my video games ;_____;.

Good, so onto my day. I saw various people from work as per usual when I go walking to Wal-Mart and the grocery stores (Alexander: "Hola verga!"...Migali: "Carlos ;_;!"....and Rita: "Hola Skylar!") and I got a USB card reader, which I know will come in handy quite often, especially since my GNX4 uses a Compact Flash card. I also saw my father's CD on sale at ALP's (I'm not kidding O__o). But the coolest thing about, well, today, is that I put together some (random o.o) chords and I shoved them next to some former (random) chords.
I am confidant I will finish sometime tonight in the nightowl hours, but it will be done over the weekend surely if not then.
Yes, by my next update, you can expect...

ReWonderland^{Broken Syn} - THE METROPOLIS

And I'll let you decide when you hear it if it's been worth the wait -VOCALS, BASS, DRUM, GUITAR AND ALL XD;

God, I can't wait. I bet you can though, it'll so suck...=3
Yours, truly, and irreversibly,
The Mad Ashes.

Yo tengo algo para ti! Pero ahorremos para clímax, entonces lea mi subido acción.

Yo vení a mi casa después 14 horas de trabajo a lunes y actualize página web de Maki, entonces morí por nueve horas. Yo levante de muy triste humor, pero este cambió a un muy buen y feliz humor porque *riceball was en línea y yo hablé con ella ^___^. Yo eché de menos ;_;

Julio (yo creo...tal vez...a la cuarta?) yo iré a japones con Maki.

Algos cosas para la visito a japones necesida... ]]> ~ashbrokensyn http://ashbrokensyn.deviantart.com/journal/4371233/ http://ashbrokensyn.deviantart.com/journal/4371233/ Thu, 20 Jan 2005 17:44:07 PST ^{¿¡Broken Syn!?}

Hihi Cheshies.

I sent off my lyrics with a completed circular form which will ensure them copyright protection. Happiness.

I've no real news of any sort, except I've figured out the imperfect Chinese note scale...at least, I think I have. I was messing around on my toy piano hitting only the black keys and I'll coin it as A#, C#, D#, F#, and G#. I'll be able to write Kyonshi now. I might change the name to Gonshi or Xiangshi though. Maybe add other words in there ..cc;; Mad Kyonshi sounds attractive, for starters.
I just want to note today, because I bought a pair of new speakers with a subwoofer, and am celebrating my new 2.1 surround sound setup with a new favorite band (not a new favorite band, but one really good, that goes up there in my top ranks with the other 13).

You know the kind. Bass so prominant and demanding you don't even know what song it is anymore.

The song is The Package, the band A Perfect Circle, the CD Thirteenth Step.

I have ~xxSurrealxx to thank for the recommendation ! Gracias mi Corecita! XD;

I've been missing out, and I suck for it. But I still don't like Tool.

So here's my list of loved artists now.


_{White Stripes
Elliott Smith
Jack Off Jill
Shiina Ringo
Deerhoof
Manic Street Preachers
scarling.
The Birthday Massacre
Collide
Queens of the Stone Age
Eagles of Death Metal
A Perfect Circle
Julieta Venegas
Nine Inch Nails}


These are the people I follow, study, adhere to, observe, aspire to be like, learn from, and hope to meet.

And I also make them good money buying all their CDs and stuff.

I took La Ley from this because I lost a bit of interest after I bought their CD Libertad. But Venegas' CD Aqui is beautiful. I wish I could find Amores Perros Me Van a Matar somewhere, it's one of my favorite songs and it doesn't seem to be on either of her two CDs that I can find.
I expect I will like Dresden Dolls very much.

I can't wait for scarling.'s new album due this year, nor NIN's With Teeth, nor Deerhoof's new all-japanese single and new album ^^. And QOTSA's new album will be out shortly too.
Diru are coming out with a new album, but the lyrics centigrade-j crap out are so retarded that I can only hope to skillfully avoid it c_c. But I won't hate on the band too much...I am in the market now for band scores to help me perfect the art of writing in notation (so as to get my compositions registered), and I might get one of their album bandscore books I've always wanted.
I will close here with a list of songs I want to cover. I'm sure you've heard one or two. What do you think?


<sub>Elliott Smith - LA (or Angeles, I can't decide anymore)
JOJ - Working With Meat
JOJ - Vivica (or Underjoyed, I don't know ;
scarling. - Can't
Shiina Ringo - Kuki
Shiina Ringo - Gibbs
Deerhoof - Panda Panda Panda
Deerhoof - Dead Beast Queen
Manics - I'm Not Working
Manics - Royal Correspondant
Manics - My Guernica
Sting - Every Breath You Take
TBM - Under the Stairs
QOTSA - The Bronze
QOTSA - Into the Fade
Steely Dan - Boddhisattva
NIN - The Becoming (or The Mark Has Been Made, I'm not sure)
NIN - Into the Void

Hello my Cheshires.

I am now ill and sick! But my happiness doesn't wain, because I am well on my way to health again (I am kicking the cold's ass).
The next thing I need to do is take a hot hot bath and burn away all the germs...ay.

Dancing my ass off to Eagles of Death Metal helps too.

Saturday I went to Ross (a coworker)'s birthday party, to his house in Illinois...about a third of our shift was invited: Galdino, Karina, Gerardo, Rosa, me, Migali, Luiz, Alexanders, two of Alex and Migali's family members, and one of Galdino and Karina's family members.

Only Gerardo, Rosa, and myself actually made it; we were picked up by Ross (playing favorites outside of work is OK!). The rest were expected to follow suit from last year and take a taxi (en masse, it wouldn't cost very much for the eight of them combined), but they never showed up! I imagine we'll find out why when we go to work tomorrow, and I'm glad to be feeling well enough to do just that (I started feeling symptoms around noon Sunday, and it's 4:48AM Monday now). Four of five of Ross' family members were there, and two Mexicans from the C shift. We had deer meat stew. Yum yum. And I restringed Ross' guitar and played a song or two. XD;
The highlight for me might have been the shots of Whiskey, Jose Cuervo and Rose Tequila, and Rum. According to a breif description of how I felt to a netfriend, I did become drunk. So I can safely say that I'm a pleasant drunk to be around, and my favorite drink is Rose brand Tequila. >_>;;;;

While we were there I acquired yet another nickname, Carlos Sexto (or Carlos VI). This was because I was eating Mexican candy with the brand Carlos V. > >;
My Spanish is advancing, but it doesn't have perfection all the time, and I still have a lot of pitfalls to jump over. In order to help me with this language (and with japanese), I am going to make my journal entries bilingual and at some point trilingual (with the help of Hepburn style romaji, because I hate Ministry of Education style romaji).

I want to go to Oaxaca someday, visit the Distrito Federal, and Puebla.

I have a very long list of places I want to go to...


_{Just for the record, just so you know,
I did not believe that you could sink so low}



^{Following is an amateur translation to spanish. Please forgive the grammar, because I'm only a student! And DON'T try to translate any of it with BabelFish because it WON'T come out accurately.}


Hola mi Cheshires.
Ahora yo estoy infermo! Pero mi felicidad no es dehando, porque yo estoy recupero bien (y estoy golpeando el asno de infermedad).
Ahora debo bañar mismo completemente en agua caliente quemar todos de mi germenes.

Me ayuda bailar tambien con musica de Eagles of Death Metal.

Sabado, yo fui a casa de Ross (de trabajo) para su fiesta de cumpleaño. Muchas personas fueron pedidos venir, pero solamente yo y mi amigos Gerardo y Rosa venemos.
No era fiesta grande...seis de familia de Ross había, y nosotros cuatro. Yo comiedo dulce de Carlos V, y ellos diceron mi nombre era Carlos Sexto. Yo toce unas cancíones en la guitarra de Ross ^_^;

Mi español es un poco mejor, pero no tiene perfeccion, entonces mi diario aquí será bilingüe. Tal vez este ayudará. Algún día trilingüe, con mi Japonesa =3.

algún día, yo quiro ir a Oaxaca, y visito El Distrito Federal, y Puebla.

Yo tengo un lista muy alto de los países quiero a ir, pero ahora hay mas c_c;



Love everyone =3

Well, my overall mood is quite happy! It's probably because I've so much to do in the following months o_o;

First, I've started work again, meaning more accurate Spanish practice feedback and my increasing fluency which will lead to the swift defeat of this subject with ease.
And, if I can learn Bachelor's level Japanese, I can call myself trilingual. =3

I'm drawing, slowly but surely. Quality comes from time, so in this case I'm glad I have so little time.

I've recorded a very simple guitar line of me playing NIN's Help me I am in Hell. Shh, don't tell the admins it's a crappy cover...but you can find whatever I feel like currently uploading and sharing with you here.
If you forget, I'll put it in the footer of my journal, where I'm keeping track of all of my public account journal blog file sharing site things. c.c; [link]

I've updated my site's content, main journal, and fixed many (but not all) of the links. I have absolutely no idea how I had such a monstrosity, but the most fun I have is in rebuilding.

I am giving this just a bit more thought, then I am going with it. ReWonderland, with "broken syn" dropped, will be the band name. I will retain Broken Syn as a sort of secondary title, like the kind you'de see on a movie (RESIDENT EVIL: Apocalypse, or HARRY POTTER and the prisoner of azkaban), but when it comes to the legal work, ReWonderland is what I'll be writing into documents. For more about documents, see beloooow.

I'm really proud of finally being able to understand staffs. I'm going to try and make some of my own. I have my music course to thank, almost. ^^ I am progressing. It feels powerful to learn.

I recieved Lifeblood in the mail today. I find it mediocre. I wish I felt differently. I put it fifth on my MSP best to worst list, which is now Know Your Enemy, This is my Truth Tell Me Yours, Everything Must go, The Holy Bible, Lifeblood, with everything past that point not worth mentioning (sorry 80's brit-punkers).
The Richard Nixon quote on track two is not cool at all.
Empty Souls isn't as good as it was live.
I'm only disappointed by the lyrics, though. So far my favorite lyrics are on To Repel Ghosts, which is my favorite song of the album, but most of what else is on here is really...uneventful. Kind of pointless. James' singing is not engaging.
But the music on most of the tracks is really good.

It is my glee to have one more person to add onto my first single's thank-you list, and that is Caff-Chan. Not only has she went about giving some physical suggestion to my songwords, but nobody makes digital coffee quite as good. Documents! I've considered her edits and REALLY SOON I will finally mail FORM TX off to the Library of Congress with my lyrics, all happy and proud.

The Reinbeau Reich, I have decided, because album arrangement is very important to me after studying movements, boleros, rondos, canons, and sonatas, will be one solid entity, and all of the tracks will sort of flow into eachother as they begin and end. Er...it'll still be broken up into tracks, but when I write one song, I'll have all the others in mind. I'm going to try and have every song in a different key, and get as many different time signatures as I can on the album.

Yeah, I don't want to be compared to anyone.

Why the journal countdown? What happens after journal 1? Or journal 0? WHAT HAPPENS ASHES!?!

You'll see. :0


Love love love! I've spent an hour updating with this text and I have to get ready for work now >.<;

I am tired. I spent most of the evening eating and drinking (add whiskey to my list of ^{tried drinks}) with the Mexicans, and I became acquainted with Alberto, Gerardo's brother, and his wife Hortencia. It has really been a wonderful night.

I daresay, before I change my mind. It has been the best New Year's Eve I have ever experienced.

I hope that this is something you can say, too! Or, in some cases, was able to say, or can say now (depending on what time zone you do).

Welcome, hello, good morning.

I thought I'de release the somewhat shameful news that I've been cancelled from my college :0.

You see, I eventually got in touch with my academic advisor, a very sweet woman named Jenny, and I asked her if I could get an extension on the time it took for me to get my diploma.

Yes. He is a country singer.

And my last name is Hunt. And I am a stalker. So don't even try buddy.

In other news, two of my mom's old friends came over yesterday and came up to my room to look at my music equipment.

"What the fuck?"
"Are you making that music?"
"That bass kicks ass!"

And this, I said, is my guitar pedal, motioning to the GNX4.

"WOAH SHIT!"


I do love freaking people out. Then I played a NIN bassline and they told me I was good. And I showed them some of my drumlines I made on my KORG and they fried more. They said I could go over any time and 'jam with them'. ^_^
Apparently they need a bass player and a drum machine, as well as a vocalist, since the three people they have over there now just play guitar. o_O

So there's confidance for me, aye.

BEAT THE RUSH. Four more days.

Cheers. I am loving life.

HELLO!

How is everyone, how is everyone. I classify this as a real journal entry. Pardon for the lack of interaction.

This stands for the weekend. My highlight has been Saturday, or yesterday, reason being I went and ate lunch with my Mexican friends :^-^:. These are Gerardo and Rosa, and they make the Christmas Card list any day. Which is to say, amongst the vast amounts of people I have taken in as aqcuaintances, these would be filtered into the friend boxes.

It was almost dinner! I had departed at 10:30am, but the meat didn't get done cooking until about 3:00pm. We ate appetizers of delicious tortillas and beans and random spicy peppers and tomatoes. When the food was done, it was friggin' deliciousss. I think anything can be eaten with tortillas, frijoles, guacamole y salsa. I should try it more often. With ramen. Peanut butter sandwhiches. Pizza. Pudding. Anything.

I need to go grocery shopping like there is no tomorrow.

I brought Resident Evil after buying it the day before at Wal Mart (deluxe edition with an alternate ending and spanish audio and english subtitles options o_o and so we watched it while we waited. We've watched The Ring in this similar manner.
The movie reminded me of how much I loved it and the sequel, and I really can't wait for that damn sequel to be released on DVD so I can own it. And watch it in spanish.
I also bought the White Stripes' Under Blackpool Lights, but I haven't stuck it in the DVD player yet, because I don't have one. o.o

Under Mexican peer pressure I also had a very light bottle of Miller o_O; My cheeks went bright red. They did that the first time I tried Skyy Blue as well.

During this time I learned that Fresa is spanish for strawberry! And, a 'hot' woman in mexico is referred to as....
Yes.
A strawberry.
So it is very similar to 'Ay mamacita!' to say Ay fresa ;D'
Rico Suaaave.
Now it is eight in the morning, I am listening to Julieta Venegas and her wonderful down to earth voice, and realizing that I need to get my CHRISTMAS CARDS in order. I think I shall send out quite a few. To everyone that I have an address of. Bedamned, I didn't know how behind on these matters I was until now.

I am also as of now installing my massive amounts of production software that came with my GNX4 and trying my bestest to get and stay warm. It's not working.

My last day of work is the 24th, then I work once more on the 27th, then I am off...until the 5th of next year. Owch ;_;

I will be eating Chinese today.

They don't run very fast so it's all good. (GELAH)

I need a new guitar.

Tab;

Love you all without a parting of any sort because I am rushed.


AY MAMACITA FRESA.

But if you don't look at them as quickly as possible they will run themselves off of the board and no longer be viewable. Do hurry! This one will go out first: [link]

White Rabbit meets Marilyn Monroe <3. - Gwen Stefani!
Candy, Scars, and Chaos. - Scarling..
Black and Red Queens. - Queens of the Stone Age.

Ghosts with Halos. - Collide!
Spanish Law. - La Ley!

Very good! You appreciate much in this world by cracking symbols.


HOW are you.
I am trying my darndest to not let things go to my head, which is usually so far up into the clouds that it's not a very difficult thing to do.
But I have made a discovery! A possible very old one that is only just dawning on me, just excuse me if it's already obvious.
Emo / Goths of the protester / rebellion type don't only exist because of hypocritical, misunderstood and one-track-minded adults and parents, but also their own peers.

But I will explain myself for this lame opening ;_;. Someone accused me of all sorts of vile and nasty things, among them taking deviantART too seriously, having little gothy dA friends, and ... GASP. Not knowing Synchrocity was not a word! Not to mention I was told that I think I am poetic, or something to that effect.

I suppose, since I'de only be arguing with a very tempremental brick wall, straight from channels MTV and Lifetime, that seems to have legs so as to move about and change positions on subjects as it conveniences them, back by complete support from naiivety and cluelessness, that I will just express my feelings outwardly in a well-ventilated area.

To be fair, I understand dA is a community. It's an art community. It's an online art community. ^^ We should of all understood that upon signing up, no? Muy bien! I am happy with it. If I were not here I would simply be a regular in a chat room or a regular poster on some forums. No further explanation neccessary unless you are a CELL.

I will add in any case that I keep a journal, and it is here. I am fond of keeping a journal. My college instructor told me that keeping a journal would improve my writing skills. My difference with an online journal and an offline one is that my life is slowly becoming open-doored, and I don't have reason to want privacy, and when I do, I am simply not here. And speaking of which, when your grades are higher than class average, you do have a bit of room to move your elbows around in, and I shou... ]]> ~ashbrokensyn http://ashbrokensyn.deviantart.com/journal/4001055/ http://ashbrokensyn.deviantart.com/journal/4001055/ Tue, 07 Dec 2004 15:11:59 PST < I am Ash, Esq. > Or, "King of Hearts."

Hello cherished.
I have gifts for everyone! <3

This is first because it is least. I am awed by it.
[link]

Then, the weird japanese A-mouth cats performing O-Zone's Dragostea Din Tei.
[link]

Yes! It was short! But gawd-awfully funny.
BEEF.

And now, the climax; MY BELOVED TRAILER. MY DAUGHTER THE WELL YOKAI IS RETURNING.
[link]

I have noticed that I am in irreversible love with a different youkai each year. And they're always women.
First it was Hsien-Ko (Kyonshi/Gongshi/Xiangshi).
Then I found Houshin Engi and the hot Sou Dakki (Fox Yousei).
Then, the Rokurokubi. This is when I began studying youkai.
And now I have deemed Samara and Sadako youkai. Being drowned ghosts that want to avenge themselves, they seem to meet the guidelines perfectly. Next year it will be probably some panda youkai. I am sure they exist somewheres 'round here.

And now I have a game! Each one of these represents a band or artist that I love. Can you guess any of them?
Candy, Scars, and Vomit.
Broken Wretched Machine.
Three Peppermints.
Mister Misery.
Political Ballad Fucks.
Noisy Beast Spirits.
Bloody Holiday Canadians.
White Rabbit meets Marilyn Monroe <3.
Candy, Scars, and Chaos.
Black and Red Queens.
Koto + Gibson = s3x.
Ghosts with Halos.
Spanish Law.

Okay a huge part of my journal was cut off at this point. WHY.

The only remaining topic I wanted to address, however, was that I'm trying to think of a different name for my band. Broken Syn is still slightly better than anything I've come up with, because it is easy to remember and say. Alternatives have ranged throught Broken Wonderland, Reconstructed Wonderland, and lately Reprogrammed Wonderland. I do need help. I am trying to merge together the concepts of Wonderland with something destroyed that needs to be rebuilt.

I also wanted to point at my site. I am filling it with more content. When it is finished you can read all of Carroll's public domain work there. I will also put a formatted Synchrocity there. Now I have a section provided by Bravenet that allows you to go and put your own links there. Go and fill it with anything you want. It's in the Club suit ^^.

I also have a guestmap. But I wanted the black and white image I created to be the BG ._. It can't be that way unless I PAY MONEY. Now, while I am very fond of giving gifts, I am hardly tempted to pay for a guestbook.

While I am updating I will add I have a Nintendo DS. It is so very SLEEEEEEK.

And I have a GNX4. This is very very important. For now I have effects that I need.

And a cutted journal does not let me say goodbye properly. AHEM;

Live loving life with all of the pieces of your heart you have!

Good morning all!
It is very cold here now, and it is frosting about everywhere outside with beautiful snow.

I'm going to be extremely busy most of this month, I just got my chosen electives processed at the Thomson High School website, and my examinations have escalated from 103 total to 114 total (Damn Spanish has 14 examinations, instead of the usual subject total of 5 ._______.) But it won't be a bad problem. I'll just have to focus focus focus and get them done ASAP.

I'll also have to get in touch with my academic and admissions advisors and tell them how fast I'm trying to get a diploma to be transcripted...I have about two more weeks before they start thinking about withdrawing me for not having one O x;

But speaking of AIU, I have about half of my grades from this week at AIU Online...and it looks like I'm doing really well. In my writing class, my grade is higher than the class average! I LOVE WRITING. But this week will be a test, I have about five essays to write for this class and I haven't done anything yet. My deadline is Saturday.

My Business class grades haven't come in yet...hopefully I did well. I think I did. Last week, my grades were 100%. Soo!

I recieved a lot of information, forms, and circulars from the US copyright office. I am going to send my lyrics together and register them all. Copyright, for your information, is created the second your work becomes transfixed in a physical medium, such as a piece of paper or a phonorecord of some sort, but registering your copyright gives you a lot of benefits with the law you wouldn't otherwise get. Here's hoping I find time to gather all I need together and send them off.

I took a hint from fate and got accounts at various places to establish my online presence more clearly in the last months, but to be honest I dread the MySpace and Sheezy Art accounts, and I hope they just draws attention to my website and DeviantART instead of accumulating people as 'friends' or 'buddies'. A full list of the places I now have accounts at is above. Each have different purposes, that's why I have them. MySpace allows you to upload music you record. Of course, DeviantART will act as my main journal simply because...yes, that's right...I LIKE THE COLORS. And this font and its particular size happens to be my favorite of all fonts.

Synchrocity is over ;_;. That was more fun than anything I have ever written...including my lyrics, journals, storehs, essays, and HTML. I think I'll have two copies published (via spam email I recieved from a publishing company) just so I can keep one and give one to Ricey. With various pictures in it. I just hope it was pleasing to read. <3

I will continue to write for my own intentions. Music, Journals, HTML, and more fiction. ^_^

I am loving a spanish band called La Ley (the Law). I bought their Libertad CD on eBay just hours ago. I also find myself listening to Julieta Venegas. Spanish grows on you. Well, me. I find my japanese no less proficient than it was when I pussywhippily stopped learning it per request ( which is to say, not very proficient, but boku wa wakarashimasu, chiiiiiisai desu x_x; ) , but I speak it with a spanish accent. When I come back, I wonder if my Spanish will be spoken with a japanese accent o.o; They are so similar with pronunciations!
