                <description><![CDATA[ Ok I can't believe what's going on here at all. After 21 changes to me and my buddy's vacation plans it seems that we are doin something crazy. Well crazy if you just look at how far we're driving. <br /><br />Hmm lets put it this way it all started last year after a long road trip to Chicago. It was decided that we'd do another trip this year and set things in motion to go to Florida so we could ya know see Disney and stuff. So it was decided then that's what we were gonna do then some friends couldn't go there were changes to places we'd go up until earlier this week when I realized that at the last idea that was a quick tour of Nova Scotia for a few places would actually be almost the same cost as going to Florida like we had originally planned. So now me and my buddy are DRIVING to Florida for an Anime Convention!! Sooo tomorrow we leave after maybe 3 days of planning for a 4000 KM drive each way. Ah soo much fun to be had <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well so much for being half way there. Not any more. With the cost of having to get a new dryer for the house all my hopes of upgrading anytime soon have gone out the window. As annoying as that is I guess I'll just have to deal with it. <br /><br />So now I'm just gonna save for my vacation this summer *Which is on thin ice now* Not only did we loose one friend that was going with us the other two now might not be able to go which means it might be a complete bust! DAMN!! No Disney for me this year and no meeting of My City of Heroes friends. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":-(" title=":-( (Sad)" /> It sucks right.<br /><br />Oh well I'll just have to see how things run out now. Wish me luck!! I'll need it.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well like the title says I'm half the way to getting my upgrade. The funny thing is my friends told me to try playing City of Heroes on my laptop and it worked! Though it's very slow and very annoying to play for a long time I can at least say hi to everyone and run a mission or two before going slightly insane. So that's a bit of good news for me. Also a couple of weeks ago I bought a hard drive enclosure so I could access a few of my files and move some stuff off my laptop to get some room back on it. It was definitely a good investment and it looks like it'll be quite helpful later on after I pick up a new hard drive to swap out of my system. <br /><br />I still can't draw much though. Every time I try it seems like the thought of what I'm about to draw goes away and I can't seem to do anything. It really sucks. Though a lot of the stuff I think of I don't have the skills to draw yet either. hell even the pic that I drew and posted wasn't quite what it was supposed to look like but it does look alright. Well I suppose I'll figure out some way of getting myself back into it eventually.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Would you believe 2 weeks before Christmas my video card dies and I can't get another one anywhere in the city. It's terrible because now I have to upgrade and I was hoping my computer would last at least another year before I needed to upgrade. That's the problem using slightly older technology when it goes it sometimes costs a fortune to get back to normal. Well considering all things it cold have been much worse at least all my data isn't gone it's just unaccessible until I can upgrade. Though it really puts me behind in all my collections. The laptop i use hasn't quite got the space needed to continue to collect my anime, and I unfortunately can't access any of my disks because it doesn't have a CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive in it, and the worse art of all I can't play any of my games because this laptop can't handle anything more than online poker, so that kinda sucks.  Now with Christmas over I can focus on saving in hopes to get back up and running with in the next couple of months. ( Ouch that hurts to say )<br />
<br />
I also just realized that this is worse than I really figured. Now I have to use the money that I've been saving for a trip this coming summer to go towards my computer. Which also puts me behind in being prepared for the trip to the US. Now I have to be extra frugal (as if I wasn't before ) the rest of the year just to be able to have money to take the trip. Oh man when it Rains it pours!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well let's see it's time to figure out something to do. I have lots of  ideas to draw but can't seem to get them to work out properly I have a  story to work on but haven't had the chance to work on it. I guess  that's what I should be doing today. Story work. Lots of it. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" align="middle" alt=":) (Smile)" title=":) (Smile)" border="0" />  I know  at least some of my friend's like what I have done so far and I'm sure  they'll like the rest seeing as they were there. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/wink.gif" align="middle" alt=";) (Wink)" title=";) (Wink)" border="0" />  <br>
<br>
OK I'll need to explain that won't I. The story is from the AD&D  campaign I'm running for them. Each character in the story is each of  their characters that they play. THe game has been running for well  over a year now and I decided to write the adventure from the point of  view of one of the NPC's ( Umm Non Player Character for those who  haven't read it previously ) The NPC is a Gnome with a tendancy to draw  and write down almost everything he sees and does. It's basically a  journal of the adventure. Unfourtunately I'm having problems  chapterizing it at this point. I'm not totally sure how long I should  make them and if I can easily seperate what I have now into chapters.  It's a little aggrivating. Eventually I hope to make a little web page  with chapters of the story with some illustrations in it. That's not  going to be easy. ( Well the web page yea it is easy but the story and  illustrations won't be. ). ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well I just got back yesterday from my friend's cabin. It was a great  time. <img src="http://images.deviantart.com/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif" align="middle" alt=":D (Big Grin)" title=":D (Big Grin)" border="0" />  It was really nice to get out of the city for a few days and  relax. It was too bad one of the people that went was sick for most of  the time but hey you can't have everything perfect. But it was close.   About the only bad things that happened were that I lost my sunglasses <img src="http://images.deviantart.com/emoticons/icon_frown.gif" align="middle" alt=":( (Sad)" title=":( (Sad)" border="0" />   and my friend being sick. She recovered fast which was good. <img src="http://images.deviantart.com/emoticons/icon_smile.gif" align="middle" alt=":) (Smile)" title=":) (Smile)" border="0" /> <br>
<br>
I actually sat down and drew once on the weekend. It turned out pretty  good but it's not complete yet either. I still am trying to get the  hands drawn on him. Yea you read right him. It's actually my first male  character and it looks half decent. I'll post it here when I actually  finish it. I soooooo hate drawing hands. They're always a pain to get  done. But I will get them done. <img src="http://images.deviantart.com/emoticons/icon_wink.gif" align="middle" alt=";) (Wink)" title=";) (Wink)" border="0" />  <br>
<br>
All in all it was a fun weekend. <img src="http://images.deviantart.com/emoticons/icon_thumbsup.gif" align="middle" alt="Thumbs Up" title="Thumbs Up" border="0" />  <img src="http://images.deviantart.com/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif" align="middle" alt=":D (Big Grin)" title=":D (Big Grin)" border="0" /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Anyone ever have one of those days where you want to draw but when you  put pencil to paper nothing seems to work at all? I was having a day  like that yesterday and today. It's really annoying isn't it. Not only  annoying frustrating. <img src="http://images.deviantart.com/emoticons/icon_frustrated.gif" align="middle" alt="frustrated" title="frustrated" border="0" />  It's been that bad I've gone back to writing  again. <br>
<br>
I actually have been wanting to write for a long time and now was a  good chance to start doing it again.  But the worse thing about writing  is now I want to add illustrations to the story and they're difficult  ones to do.  Well difficult for me. I'm not exactly a pro here. I'm far  from it. Now I know I've been drawing for 2 and a half years but in  that time I really haven't done a whole lot. Maybe 75 pics all  together.  So I can hardly be considered a pro at this. <br>
<br>
Back to the writing. It's a long story from an AD&D ( Advanced  Dungeons and Dragons ) adventure that I've been running for almost a  year and a half now.  It's been a long game but really fun that's one  of the reasons I'm writing it. Besides when I added a new NPC ( That's  a Non Player Character for those who don't know. ) that had a tendancy  to write in a journal all the time, I got the idea to write the story  from his point of view.  I thought it would be an interesting way to go  about looking at the other players from a newcommers point of view. The  big problem with it now is getting threw the long history that the  players have gone threw over the last while. It's all in their point of  view and commented on by the Gnomish NPC that is listening to it all.  The big thing now is also trying to make it into chapters that make  sense. I've got a few ideas for that so I may start editing it for  that.  <br>
<br>
I really want to get some illustrations for this story though. I've had  a lot of pictures pop into my head as I've been writing and it's really  bad when you can't draw what you see in your mind. Also when the NPC  tends  to sketch a lot in his journal so he can keep remembering his  adventure and you want to add his take on people and things it kinda  makes it hard.<br>
<br>
Oh well I'll see what happens eventually. ]]></description>

I've been here before looking at  some people that I knew around here before and well I thought that it  might be a good spot to get my art out there again. Dumb host for my  website messed me up there for a while so I'm still a little pissed off  about that.
