It's a little late, but I hope everybody's Remembrance Day was full of reflection. Past and present soldiers (and civilians) have sacrificed much in the name of peace.

I was on vigil at the ceremonies in Chilliwack. The local newspaper, The Chilliwack Progress has a video clip of the ceremony. I looked forward to it so much, rain or shine and it was such an amazing experience I would defenitely do it again, for two and a half hours in Ottawa if I have to. I look forward to honouring every Remembrance Day.

I know some brave men and women overseas right now and I hope that they don't have to make that ultimate sacrifice and that they come home safe to their families and friends...

Cheers

And on a lighter note: check out the skins! lol Thanks DA for being so awesome!

You may notice that I've already submitted some photos of my sea kayaking adventure, a "series" of my favorites while out on the thankfully calm ocean waters. Due to a serious lack of battery power, I didn't get as many photos as I would have liked. I need to consider a backup for such events where electricity is not an option.

It was an awesome trip though! Rained a bit of the time, mostly at night, which sucked because the girl tent was the leakiest tent of the bunch so I was damp and cold from Monday to Friday. Other than that, there was a good bunch of people involved which made the trip more like civilian camping than military training!

Sad day, Oilers lost.

Happy 09/09/09! Here's a shout out to my buddy Ross! Today's the day that the Beatles Remastered Collection hits the stores! I probably won't get it because it's more than likely rediculously priced but I am commemorating today by listening to the songs that I do have and wearing my Beatles T-shirt! <3

I've been into drawing tattoos again lately. My own included! I've finished the design and can't wait to get it done, (a hummingbird on my left shoulder) I just have to find a tattoo artist I like. And after seeing my design, I've been asked to draw another tattoo! It's not going to be 100% my work because he wants his family's crest on his chest but I'm beefing it up to make it look more 3 dimensional. It's flattering that somebody else wants my art on their skin forever!

Just an update. Not a good one.

Hope everyone's summer is super fantastic.

Adventure Training has been postponed until sometime in October which totally blows because I was really looking forward to it, the weather isn't going to be as nice, and I started spending a lot of money on supplies and kit (I paid for the $300.00 grocery bill 2 days before finding out it was postponed but hopefully am slowly being paid back) So all those awesome scenic pictures I promised won't be posted until sometime in November lol.

]]> ~jinubean Hurrah for August Vacation! http://jinubean.deviantart.com/journal/26314913/ http://jinubean.deviantart.com/journal/26314913/ Sat, 01 Aug 2009 09:36:36 PDT
When I roll over he's no longer there, he's not even on the futon when I wake up in the morning because he was afraid his snoring was too loud for me to sleep. He doesn't cook me breakfast, we don't take long sunny walks to the harbour. Like a spirit, he's gone and the only way I know that he was ever here is the imprint he's left on my heart.

So needless to say, August vacation didn't start out very well but I'm moving on, it's been a learning curve for sure.

On a lighter note, later this month, after a bit of a much needed rest, I've got a lot of fun stuff going on:

Vancouver's Pride Parade is this weekend! I'll be going tomorrow to enjoy the festivities!

ASU Chilliwack's 12th Annual Street Dance, which I've heard is an awesome time, is kicking off on 15 Aug 09 at 1800. If you're in the area, and you're over 19, get tickets (early bird $12.00, $15.00 at the door) they sell out really fast!

Adventure Training is this month too! We're going to Seshelt to do some Sea Kayaking! I heard about this when I got to the Unit in January and have been totally pumped ever since! I hope I get to take a lot of awesome pictures of seals and whales and kickin' scenery!

As for art, poetry and the like, expect my usual occassional update. Due to the scorching heat and my total lack of focus, I haven't really been in the mood to start anything let alone complete it as of late. I've got some ideas in my head but I'm really focused on finishing up the decoration of my apartment that's been on going for 6 months now. With only 6 months left in my lease, I want to put as many holes in the walls as possible then maybe see about buying my own house!

Right now I'm just visiting family and taking a bit of a break before I head back to the real world, which, trust me, sometimes feels like more of a vacation than the one I'm on now!

Hope everybody is having an awesome summer!

]]> ~jinubean It's almost June! http://jinubean.deviantart.com/journal/24983031/ http://jinubean.deviantart.com/journal/24983031/ Wed, 27 May 2009 16:20:36 PDT
As you may have noticed, I canned the 100 themes challenge, it's not that I couldn't do it because it is well within my realm to keep plugging away at different topics, I just lost time and interest in it and therefore creativity to come up with poems that are really good. It's been almost 5 months and I have only recently begun writing and drawing again.

I met a new man (If you read this, Hi DJ!) and he occupies a lot of my time, in a good way of course

but he also encourages me to explore my talents and so in the future you'll see a lot of new drawings going up, mostly fantasy. I'm challenging myself in a way that I've never thought of, actually thinking up characters through his descriptions (I'm trying not to look at any reference images.) It's harder than you may think! So far (and pictures of them will be posted soon) I've drawn three "Kobolds" and I'm in the middle of drawing an "Earth Element"

So there you have it! My job is exciting when it wants to be, my weekends are full of entertainment, I'm creative, I'm happy, Let's hope it stays this way!

So, like i said, everything I knew is coming to an end. A 2-year-tough-love friendship that I'll have to continue on the phone, friends, new and old, that I'll only see once a year if ever. What was thrown into a whirl wind of confusion and uncomfort will finally have stability and hopefully a refrigerator filled with my own food, all of my things back, and my best and oldest friend.

So emotionally, I'm conflicted, as you can tell in some of my most recent poems. I'm glad to be back to writing, it feels good to get those creative juices flowing again. I bought a sketch book a while back but I feel wierd drawing around people because everybody always wants to see and it distracts me and makes me stand out and I don't really want to. Also, I don't have any way of getting the images that I have drawn onto DeviantART. I've finally picked up a few books and am on my way to feeling like my old introverted self again! Yay!

So that's about it, I'm back on DeviantART for a few days i'll be off again though, as my life is thrown into a new challenge I have to face being that I'm going on my first trip back home since April and I'm moving directly after that without a home to move into I'll be living out of a hotel for a max month. Oh well, I'm sure it'll all work out relatively well in the end...

Here's to new beginnings!

]]> ~jinubean I'm Baaaaaaack!! http://jinubean.deviantart.com/journal/19777978/ http://jinubean.deviantart.com/journal/19777978/ Mon, 04 Aug 2008 19:39:06 PDT I totally just submitted that without saying anything lol I hope you all get two because that's how special I am lol

ok, so i passed basic training, i didn't die like i thought i might! i made a ton of great new friends and learn a million new things and i've done things and am doing this to this day that i never thought i would ever do! this is an amazing experience! but of course, it puts everything else on hold... i haven't picked up a pencil to draw since i drew the soldier piece because the whole point of bmq is to stress you out to the max... if i had spare time on my hands it definately wasn't spent doing things i enjoy lol so with that said, i have nothing new.

right now i'm in Borden awaiting my trades course which starts on the 16sept08 and i'm pretty much just killing time until then... but that doesn't mean i'll be drawing i just don't have the space or the means of transport (i have my car but damnit, everything is crushed!)

anyway that's all i have, just thought i'd update on my status which is in summary, still alive

btw, i'm not miserable... but deviantart wont let me change it... so i'm stuck at miserable for now...

]]> ~jinubean BMQ 3.5 months http://jinubean.deviantart.com/journal/17916929/ http://jinubean.deviantart.com/journal/17916929/ Fri, 18 Apr 2008 18:45:44 PDT
Thanks for all your wonderful comments on my newest piece!

I'll be back

]]> ~jinubean -Salutes- http://jinubean.deviantart.com/journal/17656832/ http://jinubean.deviantart.com/journal/17656832/ Wed, 02 Apr 2008 18:40:40 PDT
So yeah, latest update: I FINALLY FINISHED TERRENCE'S GIFT!! omg that was the longest 8 months without a place to put my dinner EVER!

St. Jean here I come!

]]> ~jinubean mmmhmm... http://jinubean.deviantart.com/journal/16831353/ http://jinubean.deviantart.com/journal/16831353/ Mon, 11 Feb 2008 11:28:45 PST and somehow, get it to him... It shouldn't take too long anyway, a couple weeks more worth of work...

So yeah, this is it...

Hopefully a day of indian food and swedish furniture can improve my mood...

]]> ~jinubean it's about time... http://jinubean.deviantart.com/journal/15200945/ http://jinubean.deviantart.com/journal/15200945/ Wed, 24 Oct 2007 11:43:15 PDT
OK, i won't go that far, I mean it's no gaming PC. It's just an ACER, on sale at Futureshop, it was the least expesive desktop I could find for what I need it for. In fact, I'm more excited about the monitor (a 21.6" Samsung LCD flat screen) and the Altec Lansing speakers and sub woofer; but even more, the amazing price that I purchased everything for (including the Brother printer/scanner/copier they threw in for $75 off because they couldn't find the printer I wanted that was included in the deal). In total, it all came to about $850 because Terrence is an amazing talker lol. After 2 different Futureshops, one Best Buy and one Staples that closed as soon as we got through the doors, we had that poor salesman working his ass off and reduced to tears so that he was giving it away. But I'm sure he was still happy he got his commission.

Now, FINALLY, I can get something done. I can upload pictures. I can work on art. I can surf the net. I can do anything I want.

So here's the deal: I've been told... I promised Terrence I would have his gift done before the middle of December. I feel bad that it's been in the works for over two months but now I'm on the long shifts at work and he's out of town, which means no weekends off, working late late nights and all day to do nothing but shop for groceries, do laundry and sleep... which means no life for me until I finish this project, which btw, it turning out AMAZING! Cammo is not easy to draw perfectly amidst so many folds and shade defrentiations!

Ever thought of joining the military? Even if just for the 6 pack?

And it's something really different, something i would never have drawn if it weren't asked of me specifically mostly because i'm not in total agreeance (i just made up a word didn't i?) with the content, but i was up for the challenge (and boy is it that!)
anyway ima head back to bed because i'm exhausted and cold... brrr... i think i might be coming down with some sort of cold or flu or something shitty like that

]]> ~jinubean ho hum http://jinubean.deviantart.com/journal/13088233/ http://jinubean.deviantart.com/journal/13088233/ Fri, 25 May 2007 12:06:35 PDT
i think i'm going to upload some stuff, just some photo manip... i have some poems, but they're at home and i can't type them up until i bring them to my parents house... and I really don't have the time anymore to draw

how sad... i'm itching to do it too but when i'm not at work i'm with my friends... how demanding!

I finished War and Peace in March! Yey!! that book took me six months!! And I've read a book and a half since!

It's depressing that i'm depressed because I don't have enough creativity to write about my depression... it's like a vicious cycle...

anyway y'all, i'm out...

]]> ~jinubean whew! http://jinubean.deviantart.com/journal/12170801/ http://jinubean.deviantart.com/journal/12170801/ Tue, 13 Mar 2007 15:57:06 PDT listening to: the sounds of the wierdness going on downstairs... some british accents bf's roomie saying things like "classic!" and lots of banging... i'm scared and confused
reading: still war and peace... 180 pages left, many other books to follow...
watching: keeping an eye on the cat... so he doesn't attack the snake out of curiousity as to what it tastes like...
eating: i wish... i think my stomach is eating itself... i need to go grocery shopping

back from holidays! I spent a week in punta cana Domincan Republic! look forward to seeing some killer pictures... as soon as i get a computer haha
i MOVED! how exciting is that? i have no furniture i still need a bed and a couch and a kitchen table and a desk... no food; the fridge is completely empty... no life haha but i'm getting on lol yey! my own place!

anyway y'all i'm out!

]]> ~jinubean ooooh la la http://jinubean.deviantart.com/journal/11633462/ http://jinubean.deviantart.com/journal/11633462/ Wed, 31 Jan 2007 10:16:56 PST .> The screen is so big, every time he goes out I have an affair with it. I mean, everybody should honestly own a 24" screened Mac on which to view art and pretty things! While listening to your favorite music on a killer home entertainment system... Lol a keeper in more ways than one! jk

Anyway, I haven't posted anything in such a long time, I haven't been feeling very creative, and I've been far too busy to create anyway. BUT yesterday I found a picture in a magazine and i'm drawing it in pencil. It's not going to be anything super, I'm not really trying that hard with it, but it's something to get me out of my creative slump.

]]> ~jinubean this sucks! http://jinubean.deviantart.com/journal/10883252/ http://jinubean.deviantart.com/journal/10883252/ Tue, 28 Nov 2006 19:11:12 PST
I've been sketching and inking a lot lately, mostly out of lack of anything better to do (I'm at a slow point in War and Peace lol) but partly because I'm at least feeling a little bit creative.

I can't wait for Saturday.

Maybe that Walter and Betty charcol piece forced me into a creative mood. Or maybe this whole ordeal with "455h013" made me realize that what I really enjoy doing has nothing to do with him lol.

And what's wierd is that I'm not posting stuff just for something to post. I genuinely like what I'm putting up here... wierd ne?

Near future posts:
I might have some poems to clean up and i'll probably share them.
I printed off a wonderful nude that I've been dying to do in pencil, so when that's finished, that'll be up here too!

But who knows when right? Because tomorrow I could decide that my life is calling me again and take off for another month and a half! haha

So yeah, Deviantart has change A LOT! Like a whole new template I have to relearn haha I like it though, it's stylish and not so cluttered!

I'll say it once again: I have to get some stuff on here!! It's just so hard because I never think anything is good enough! Oh, well, there's some pics from my Van vacation that are cool enough, I might photomanip lol!

hehe I just spammed myself. But it's so exciting I simply could not resist!

I've been UBER bored lately so I watched the first 5 DVD's of FULLMETAL PANIC! (yes it is deserving of it's capslokcity) and I drew some fanart, that's right, me, drawing anime fanart. Expect some more, because as soon as Michael buys the next DVD's I'll be all over them like a fat kid on a smartie!!

It really is like holidaying, I mean, I'm off earlier, my weekends are freed up FOR 3 WHOLE WEEKS!

As for art, I've been doing it a lot more lately (it's like... a drug) ummm yeah, I've uploaded 3 yesterday (one in scrapville). I'm developing a watercolour painting for my room you can expect me to take a picture of when it's done (cough-when.i.start.it-cough)

I'm coming up fast on 2000 hits! That's exciting, I should do something craptacular! I mean, geez, I've never had 2000 hits anywhere, in all my goings on around the internet! yey! haha

Today is a great day. After all the shit that's gone down recently, this is the first day in weeks that I've actually had an agreeable feeling.

After an entire year of singledom, I've met someone who might actually want to commit to a relationship.... but I don't want to jinx it so I didn't say that.

I've been playing around a lot on Nexopia... I know, wierd eh? my user name is Jinubean (duh!) if you wanna see my page!

Anyway, I felt it was time for a DeviantART update from me because I've been lazy and still haven't found out how this stupid scanner works *~kick~* so there's new stuff up! yey!

I deleted some works in my gallery because i thought that they sucked anusbut i also uploaded some too so i guess it all evens out...

watching: Crossing Jordan....... naturally

well, i thought that being as bored and un-tired as i am, i should update my journal... not that i have much to put in here other than what i have put up recently and what i plan to post soon....

i have a new poem called "In the Meadow" [link] and a series of nature photography [link] that was taken from my office window lol original haha ok ok, i admit, i bought myself a new camera for christmas and i'm a little excited about its 4.1 megapixel ability! lol

what i plan on posting soon? weeellll, i've been brining my sketch book to work again to boost my self confidence

i know, it's cheap but everybody i work with is always like "ohhhhhh let me look at your sketch book" "you have such talent, have you ever thought of taking it further?" "wow that's amazing" all of the drawings in there are, to me, just plain crap... but then, i sit there and draw and they watch me in utter amazement asking me what the hell i'm doing working at the airport when i can DRAW!!

i dunno! aaaanyway, getting to the point, i've got about a million works in there that i'm going to post (if i can get a proper photo of them) it's all lineart uncoloured stuff at first that i hope to develop later on... and then there's all the other unfinished stuff that's sitting abandoned on the downstairs computer which failed to transfer about a month ago........

which reminds me, i haven't checked my email in about that long... ]]> ~jinubean Wayne Brady makes Brian Gumble look like Malcom X http://jinubean.deviantart.com/journal/7649156/ http://jinubean.deviantart.com/journal/7649156/ Thu, 19 Jan 2006 14:25:36 PST

well uhh... yeah... nothin' really new goin' on here... i just had like almost one week straight off because i traded shifts with somebody at work, so i haven't really done much other than update on devart... I finally got some new stuff up here, some WORTHY stuff, that's right, stuff that's not 5 minute wastes of time that I actually spent a little time on, stuff that I can be proud of! w00t! I also managed to finish a CJ story that's been 3 months in the making (read it here: [link] enjoy it!) lol

Now I'm working on an unfinished Crossing Jordan fic, that's on the same site, not that you all care so much about CJ, but I do so you can... uhh... oops. lost my train of thought there... so you can tell how great i'm doing on that one... >.>

Anyway, so sup? I've been typing so much today I think I'm getting carple tunnel ... that would suck wouldn't it? I'm starting 8 hour shifts at work!! woo hoo!! enough of these 10's I say and get to some REGULAR sleeping hours!! But who's to say I won't wake up at noon and waste my day anyway? huh huh??

Christmas is coming! That's right, only 24 more days until Santa visits! Which reminds me I should a) hide the gifts I've alreay bought and b) buy more gifts and less things for myself... which is always the case. Gawd I go christmas shopping and I come out of it full of stuff for myself with very few gifts... which is very counter productive...

Do No Steal Art:

The whole point of art is so that you can be creative yourself. You may think that that person's art reflects your own mood or creativity when, in fact, that is the artist's intention; to evoke any sort of emotion from you. You may not know how to draw but you should be encouraged to express yourself in different ways. Music, dance, photography, and poetry are all different ways of expressing that inner creativity. Taking somebody elses creative works is not right. You should always ask permission.

reading: wtf do you THINK!?!

------------------------------------------------------------------------
!!!!~HARRY POTTER SPOILER ALERT~!!!!
------------------------------------------------------------------------

OK so the alert probably isn't really needed because I suspect those who care about being spoiled have already read the book!!

I finished reading Harry Potter's sixth installment a couple of days ago and it's just sinking in.... Dumbledore's dead... Holy crap!! I bawled so hard from about the time Snape uttered the words "Avada Kedavra" (that bastard, now I want to kill him!!) until after Dumbledore's funeral... She's really developed the enemy in this one from Harry finding out who Voldemort really was and what he's done to Draco becoming a Death Eater to Snape keeping his vow and finishing Malfoy's job...

The love interest was so adorable, Harry and Ginny, perfect the small hints at first that he wanted her and then the fear of losing his best friend too great to pass up! But Ron and Hermione STILL haven't come together yet, almost, but not quite, definately by the seventh book i suspect as there was heavy foreshadowing and now that "Won-won"'s and experienced snogger why not?! Even Malfoy and Pansy (which was to be expected) One couple that really doesn't make sense though is Lupin and Tonks, I just can't grasp that one...

I can't wait for J. K. Rowling to sort out the seventh book, the finale is going to be amazing... though I am a bit aprehensive about it being dissapointing... *gasp* Yet i suspect it'll be bitter sweet... after the seventh, dedicated HP fans only have the movies to look forward to (GoF up in November) but I find that the movies don't touch me in the same way that the books do... I mean if it comes to a fifth and sixth movie I don't think I'll feel the same way about Sirius and Dumbledore's deaths as I do while reading the books!

Something i noticed while reading HBP is that Rowling didn't really follow her "always going with Harry thang..." I mean, i don't remember her EVER straying away from Harry's point of view... maybe I'm mistaken but those first two chapters (though very funny and interesting) seemed to be a bit out of place!!

Predictions from a Seer's eye::
-Of course he's going to find the other Horcruxes and in so find out who R.A.B. is because they are (of course) linked...
-Lupin or Tonks is going to be hurt/die because they make a really odd couple...
-Hermione and Ron for sure! I mean this book was dripping with foreshadowing of love interest! I mean why else would Hermione be jealous of Lavender Brown?
-OF COURSE he's finally going to face Voldemort and he's going to perish... but will they actually face eachother?? (If they don't and Voldemort dies some other way then I will be extremely dissapointed...)
-You never know but... Harry dies, sacrificing himself for the better of the wizarding community, afterall, there must have been a reason for Rowling to come out of Harry's POV, perhaps she's adjusting the reader for after Harry's death...

Just some things to ponder...
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Whew after all that I almost don't want to get into what I'm actually doing with my life these days but I will anyway...

I decided against getting myself a job this summer and instead am taking part in the Alberta Lyric Theatre's production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat for presentation at the Edmonton Fringe Festival!! It's going to be frickin' awesome!!

Everyday I go to a church that's 40 minutes away (at best) and practice singing with kids and adults alike... I have some pretty major narrative roles, which is what i was looking for, I can act, but I'm not much of one... As of right now, I'm in the chorus for most of the production, i have a narrative solo in the second part of "Jacob and Sons", I am part of a duet in "Poor Joseph", narritive solo in "Potiphar" which I'm having a lot of fun with, the tiniest narritive solo in "Poor Pharaoh", another in "The Brother's Came to Egypt" and another in "Who's the Theif?" I'm choral for nearly all the other songs in the production... I don't know when I scheduled me for costume changes... which I have because I'm also the third of Jacob's wives, Zilpah... *whew* it's pretty big!

DO NOT STEAL ART!
this consitutes: anything that was not drawn, written, or composed by yourself.

If you do have stolen art on your profile or anywhere else for that matter, ASK THE ARTIST FIRST. If you get the artists permission before posting their art. Stealing art and claiming it as your own is called plagerism and there are laws against it. We work by warning you about these laws and requesting you take the art down. If you tell us (in so many words) to go away we will contact an admin and tell them what you are doing. After that, it's up to them on whether they ban your account etc. because of copywrite laws etc.

Art is identity and when you take that from somebody and credit it yourself it is the equivelant of taking that person's social insurance number. We urge you to ask before taking and if the artist says no then respect their wishes that they don't want their creativity labeled all over the internet!

As well, we encourage all artists to label their work with (c) their name (or pen name) in big lettering directly on the image. Some suggestions are:
-Make your (c) transparent so that you can still see the image behind it but it is obvious that it is yours.
-Make the letters blocked in so that you can't see the image behind it, which makes it less easy to erase your name.

The whole point of art is so that you can be creative yourself. You may think that that person's art reflects your own mood or creativity when, in fact, that is the artist's intention; to evoke any sort of emotion from you.

General News:
Man, when I get going about something, I get passionate about it. Now, there is this artist on DeviantART who draws these cute little guys named pon and zi, maybe you know him. His name is =azuzephre and his art has been stolen *collective gasp in unison* i know i know it's tragic but what's worse is that it's been posted all over the internet and everybody has it and is displaying it but some people are even claiming that they drew it! It's insane I KNOW!

So he made up this DeviantART Club called ~AntiArtTheft (you can find it here: [link]) the whole point is, you find people (or if you just come across them) who have stolen art on their profiles. You have to know it's somebody elses first though. and tell them to take it down. It's great

We urge you to ask before taking and if the artist says no then respect their wishes that they don't want their creativity labeled all over the internet!

As well, we encourage all artists to label their work with (c) their name (or pen name) in big lettering directly on the image. Some suggestions are:
-Make your (c) transparent so that you can still see the image behind it but it is obvious that it is yours.
-Make the letters blocked in so that you can't see the image behind it, which makes it less easy to erase your name.

The whole point of art is so that you can be creative yourself. You may think that that person's art reflects your own mood or creativity when, in fact, that is the artist's intention; to evoke any sort of emotion from you. You may not know how to draw but you should be encouraged to express yourself in different ways. Music, dance, photography, and poetry are all different ways of expressing that inner creativity. Taking somebody elses creative works is not right. You should always ask permission. ]]> ~jinubean Devious Journal Entry http://jinubean.deviantart.com/journal/5578030/ http://jinubean.deviantart.com/journal/5578030/ Tue, 07 Jun 2005 09:00:41 PDT Listening to: Always - Blink-182
Watching: The Notebook

Well, considering I haven't written a journal entry in like a month I thought I would do that before hustling my ass to work.

I've fallen into my procratination thing again and haven't finished that mysterious piece of work that I've been working on for two months. I mean, it's not nearly as good as others' that spend so long on it. I just lose interest/train of thought/method and then let it slide to the back burner for a while. However, I was working on it yesterday, I think I've just got the foreground to finish and some highlighting! I'll sure be relieved when I get it up because then I will have finally achieved something worth while and I haven't done that in a while.

Yeah, work is still a bitch. I don't know why I go there everyday... For any of you who were even considering a job with HMS Host, don't. Instead, boycot their company because they treat their staff like shit!

Anyway ciao! ]]> ~jinubean unimaginative http://jinubean.deviantart.com/journal/5232688/ http://jinubean.deviantart.com/journal/5232688/ Sat, 30 Apr 2005 19:18:46 PDT

Wow, i return from Vancouver and i guess i expected everything to be different when i returned... Like I wanted everything with my social life to be sorted out and i expected work to start behaving itself... I guess it's too much to ask to have an actual full time job without the worry of being demoted without notice!

Ok ok, I'll get off the psychiatrist's chair!

So yeah, this is pretty cool, this deviantart trial thing, I get to pretend i had the money to put into a super duper acount on Devart for one entire week!

I wish I had some ideas for some new work to go onto, i mean i've had artists' block for months!! The last piece I put up here was because I was desperate for something to refresh my gallery, and it showed...

I've got an unfinished piece in my sketchbook but it's starting to make me sick... Oekaki turns me off worse than the big smelly guy on the sky train... Not to mention that IF i ever finished it, there's no way to get it put on computer considering I don't own a working scanner and using my digi-cam is a lost cause...

Which comes back to work, maybe if they gave me shifts and let me KEEP the promotion I deserve, I would earn more money and then I could afford a scanner and some better art supplies... Too bad I can't buy talent eh?

Ok ok, I'll stop pouting, I just have to start looking at crappy art (not that there really is such a thing) Ok so i'll re-word that, Art that I am critical toward... perhaps all I need is a self-esteem boost! ]]> ~jinubean Vacation woot! http://jinubean.deviantart.com/journal/5073056/ http://jinubean.deviantart.com/journal/5073056/ Tue, 12 Apr 2005 19:58:35 PDT
And right now this knob named Kevin is looking over my shoulder to read what i'm typing... I guess i better be careful of what I type eh?

well i'm having a kickass time, right now i'm helping my friend Catherine, of whom i am staying with, finish off the last of her art project for design class at Langara which is due in two days and of which we still have a hell of a lot to finish up... she's making a queen anne chair out of beads... she's rather retarded for starting this insane project to begin with and she's lucky i'm here to help her... hehe nah she's great and really creative, i'll post some pictures of it when it's done! it's going to be greeat!!

can't wait to get home! ]]> ~jinubean slooow dooooooown http://jinubean.deviantart.com/journal/4726664/ http://jinubean.deviantart.com/journal/4726664/ Fri, 04 Mar 2005 10:57:56 PST i get one or two days off work and i can't do anything that i want to because i have laundry to do and my tablet is broken!! damnit!! and i hate not having a scanner, life would be made a million times easier with one of those, that actually worked on a computer that goes faster than 2kB a second!!

Oh well, I guess I'll just lock myself in my room and finish the linework to a piece i've been slaving over for the past few weeks...

and hey, one thing that's good, my good friend Jamie's got an account with Deviantart [link] check out his stuff, he's pretty good! ]]> ~jinubean one month till christmas!!!! http://jinubean.deviantart.com/journal/3913293/ http://jinubean.deviantart.com/journal/3913293/ Wed, 24 Nov 2004 23:08:27 PST

For once in a long time I am content, although slightly nervous. I have found myself a new job!

I'm so proud of myself! So now I have 2! Which means I won't be able to draw or work on my new writing idea so much but I will still be satisfied that my time will be filled with something useful! And at least it's at the airport, where there's people and things to see

yay yay!!!

wish me luck! ]]> ~jinubean empty http://jinubean.deviantart.com/journal/2109909/ http://jinubean.deviantart.com/journal/2109909/ Mon, 29 Mar 2004 15:48:52 PST

'Twas the Saturday before Sunday
And all through the Store
Not a creature was stirring
So we played us some war!

The customers we served
Were all kinda bitchy
Jen ate some candy
And got sorta twitchy

Dale puffed some smokes
And he got oh so mellow
Some more customers came in
And we both said "Hello!"

We stocked up the shelves
And we wished we were drunk
Then we unloaded some beer
And throught up this junk.

As some customers entered the store,
Jen tripped over a chair
Dale laughed it up
And served those nice people with care.

Then a punk kid came in
And he tried to buy beers
But having no ID
He ran out in tears.

We then prepared to close up the shop
So we flicked off the lights
Happy drinking to all
And to all a good night.

*cough* don't ask... He thought up most of this... I've come to the conclusion that he's sexually confused... At least my boss appreciated it... and is giving me a promotion

yessssss ]]> ~jinubean Whoa... http://jinubean.deviantart.com/journal/1717683/ http://jinubean.deviantart.com/journal/1717683/ Wed, 21 Jan 2004 11:39:05 PST
Yes, I have returned, better--much better--than before! For I now hold that special devise that discerns good digital artists from bad ones<--me in the past.

I'm excited. It only took a few years for my parents to spoil me... But I knew it would come eventually. Eventually as in make it the only thing that I ask for for Christmas.

And now, I just need to set up my uber cool, totally legal, copy of Paint Shop and I'll be all set! Well, maybe I'll get a haircut first... Then I'll be all set...

ciao! ]]> ~jinubean
