I haven't done much particularly artistic lately and I keep what poetry I've written mostly to myself. I don't have time to keep up with commenting on all the wonderful art of my former friends and fans, so unfortunately I wouldn't hold your breath for a comeback.

My apologies to all the good people I've left wondering and waiting. I hope you move on to greater things.

If the fates would have it, I may return some day and pick up where I left off, or (more probably) start completely anew. This community has been good to me. I have no regrets. See you all when I see you--until then, for goodness' sake, take it easy.

F'ing February is well behind us now, followed up by Mediocre March, which will hopefully bring forth Awesome April, which I know will at least be partway cool because there's at least a little bit of spring break this year which the blasted government hasn't taken away. This means more sanity time for Phrog, and other good stuff like that. And boy, do I need it. I really do have this insatiable urge to draw stuff, but there’s this unending stream of what is in my mind menial labor, and moreover the looming feeling of not getting enough of that menial labor done to pass for the standard I’ve set for myself. It can be downright depressing, really. Only a few more months…

The boorish tedium of school has recently been compounded by my essencially-forced enlistment in the drama club's production of Grease, which is the most terrible, abnoxious play I've yet had the displeasure of finding, much less acting in. If "acting" is what you can call it--all we've done so far is a collection of terrible dance numbers which take days to learn--days we don't have--and are accompanied by the trademark crappy 50s-knockoff "music" which is the retro equivalent of Disney's "It's a Small World!" song. *shudder* Alas, it looks as though I’m stuck—everyone expects a repeat performance from me after two successful years in the other plays (ones I actually LIKED), so I might just have to buckle down and bear it, unless I can manage to get myself kicked out, which could prove more difficult than you’d think. Bleh, I say! Ooh, there's an emoticon for that, is there?

But things aren’t so bad. I feel alive, eligible, and opportunistic, whenever one of those opportunities should choose to strike or I’m given the time to strike at them. I’ve got the next four years of my life, basically, all lined up, at a college that I want to go to. This does tremendous things for the spirits, if only for hope. Also, I can now get an "AA" score on Afronova in DDRMAX2 Light Mode consistantly, which is testament to my m4d sk1llz.

...I see now that I’ve just received my 6,000th pageview from my friend *gojita , which is awesome, and I’ll have to make it up to him or something! Really, I appreciate everyone’s lasting support a ton, even though I’m still not as active as I used to or want to be. Every last one of you rock, and don’t let anybody tell you others. And don’t let nobody tell you Phrog Bad never did nothin’ for the peoples. ]]> ~senorphrog http://senorphrog.deviantart.com/journal/2104429/ http://senorphrog.deviantart.com/journal/2104429/ Sun, 28 Mar 2004 19:32:12 PST ) are happy, I'm...something.

Well, the past several weeks sure have been interesting. For the Month of Love, or whatever, things sure have been cruel. But, hey, I'm alive! That's gotta count for somethin', right?

Three weeks ago started off with a bang, or rather, a number of them, when I was returning from a shindig at a friend's house to my car which I'd left parked in the high school lot until around 11 PM. BIG MISTAKE. You see, apparently, people suck, and these people in particular decided that smashing in the windows of an unattended car would be great fun for everyone, so they did just that. YAY.

There'd been a train wreck about a mile from my house earlier that day, and as I was preparing to leave I discovered that a pipe had apparently broken or leaked all over my downstairs television, narrowly missing my Playstation (and DDR pad, God bless it) and ruining the TV. Now, you'd think I would have recognized these omens. NOPE.

The following weekend was, of course, V-Day, which I spent alone because the girl I would have very much liked to spend the day with at the movies or whatnot to help me feel better after the previous week's disasters instead decided to invite her friend over. Her friend, it turns out, didn't show up until later anyway, and we could have gone...really, we're masters of communication out here in Maryland. It was around that time I realized I was wasting my time. But, of course, I didn't pick up on that hint, either.

Then we come to this week. Friday evening I decided to ignore the disasters of my previous outings and try again, this time attending some sort of winter party thing at the church of, again, my prospective girlfriend. Unbeknownst to me, I would have to sit through the most painful presentation of "praise n' worship" music ever to assail my ears, followed by an astoundingly convoluted and unprofessional sermon which lost me immediately after the random "and if you look at the fossil record you'll see that the earth was created only 4,000 years ago!" bit. Both were presented by some kids from Liberty University (Motto: We put the "Fun" "Mental" in " Fundamental"!) and it was downright atrocious. I could write a whole 'nother entry ranting on just about that, but it'd be wasted breath. We Frozen Chosen aren't ones to speak out against the more embarassingly radical of our faith...we just kind of give them cold stares. Try it sometime.

So anyway, the activities afterwards were sorta fun, if you ignored the raucous safety hazards and shaving cream (It's a long story). So, after all the enjoyment was exhausted from that, I found myself hanging out in the hallway. Now, keep with me here, things get a little fast coming up. My formerly prospective girlfriend's friend --the one she blew me off for on V-Day--whom I also know goes sprinting off past me in the narrow hallway after some random guy, and jokingly I stuck out a foot and she stumbled a bit. I was heading over to appologize when a meaty hand gripped me behind the neck and pinned my face against the wall. There was her father, looking and sounding very much like Jack Nicholson in one of his many psychopathic-axe-murderer-type roles, telling me that I would be "very, very sorry" if something like that happened again. TEH_FUNZ x2!!1!

The pastor afterwards tried his best to sort the whole mess out, although the belligerant bastard father never appologized before I went home, and yet again I spent another night in disbelief at how much the world sucks. The following day I had the evening to myself and tried to hook up with some friends at the movie theater (they never showed) and get some arcade DDR on (the machine was broken). Barbershop 2 was an excellent, hilarious movie, though. Still, I've gotten over my woes. There's no point feeling sorry for myself and I know it, but dammit, I've been having a rough month. There's a reason February is the only month that starts with F.

But I'm counting my blessings. So far I've been accepted to all three colleges I was interested in (one of which I didn't even finish applying to O_o) and will be going to St. Mary's next year, which I'm really thrilled with. This only heightens my desire to get the hell out of this backwards little town, of course. I'm also pretty sick of the house, which has decided that the same water pipe should continue to leak even after an army of Roto-Rooter men came in and, I don't know, Rooterized it. This time it just soaked the armchair we'd put under that part of the ceiling, and dampened my DDR pad, which I'm sure is GREAT for it. The new, beautiful 32" TV I picked... ]]> ~senorphrog http://senorphrog.deviantart.com/journal/1893411/ http://senorphrog.deviantart.com/journal/1893411/ Mon, 23 Feb 2004 07:50:20 PST ~senorphrog http://senorphrog.deviantart.com/journal/1893410/ http://senorphrog.deviantart.com/journal/1893410/ Mon, 23 Feb 2004 07:50:18 PST May you live in interesting times.

That's right, folks. At the moment, I am Crunchy Phrog. Or, rather, Extremely Busy Real Unboned Dead Phrog. I find myself in the middle of that delightful little period of utter creative malaise which is so aptly named "senioritis". Funny, it sounds like arthritis, and thusfar, it's about the same--only this time it's the hardening of my artistic will, rather than my joints. I was beginning to think that Christmas vacation might help some, but it obviously has not; I really need high school to be over. Or a very nice, strategically-positioned number of snow days, which may or may not be on the way soon.

With the EverQuest monkey on my back again, not to mention plenty of other distractions (some better than others; for one, I have finally broken free of my console confines and gotten a Playstation 2, with which I've been shreading pounds and atrophying muscles in DDR MAX2, which is the greatest game of all time) I've just been way too...something to even keep up with these darned journals. It's sad, but inevitable, and I'm just gonna have to work through it. In the meantime, I'd like to thank all the folks who continue to hang on to my meager offerings here in spite of this hiatus, and hope to be back into this thing shortly. In the meantime, like I've always told yas, take it easy! ]]> ~senorphrog http://senorphrog.deviantart.com/journal/1275009/ http://senorphrog.deviantart.com/journal/1275009/ Tue, 14 Oct 2003 06:22:53 PDT Don't ask me why I said it...'cause I already forgot!

...Woo. Good times, good times. Not so good times for this frog, though, I'm afraid. The juggernaut of Education has decided to decent upon my helpless free time, and left pathetic little for me to commit to artisticness...or, even, commenting. Which sucks. But, you'll see that I just submitted a new poem, which hardly counts as art in my view, but heck, it's somethin'.

In the meantime, I wanna thank all you folks who are still watching out for my work. It makes me feel, ya know, all wanted an' stuff. Hoorah. Take it easy, everybody. ]]> ~senorphrog http://senorphrog.deviantart.com/journal/1111903/ http://senorphrog.deviantart.com/journal/1111903/ Sat, 30 Aug 2003 06:48:57 PDT I feel teh lurve

http://senorphrog.deviantart.com/journal/1028579/ Sun, 03 Aug 2003 18:20:40 PDT did indeed make it back alive from Spain, in spite of the best efforts of a couple persistant beggars and angry hookers...but those are tales for another day . I've actually been home now for over a week, but have been quite busy catching up and the like, so that (and my incomparable laziness) has prevented me from keeping ya'll updated. Or something.

But here I am now, back in the USSR...err, USA, so you can expect many exciting new artworks very soo--pfft! Sorry, can't say that one with a straight face . I will at least try to work through my devwatch list, which has once again grown to rediculous proportions (the number of deviantMessages last time read as the mark of the beast, which probably isn't a good sign... ) so that should keep me nice and busy. Which keeps you all happy! Which is all good.

I would also like to give mad propz to since he actually bought me a three month subscription for no other reason than that he's really frikkin' awesome. Oh, and I commented a bunch on his great photography (which you really need to check out), but then, I already do that for everybody else...wait! That means ya'll are three months behind! Fork it over!

...Alright, just kidding. Maybe . And now, for the usual cool folks:

http://senorphrog.deviantart.com/journal/944091/ Mon, 14 Jul 2003 12:19:40 PDT *Brief Update* I'm leaving this evening for a 10-day trip to Spain. That's right, this Señor will finally be in his element. Well, not really. If you've not figured it out yet, I'm just a white kid from Maryland with three years of Spanish classes and a vague interest in frogs. I'll miss ya'll, and while I realize my Devwatch list queue is just going to keep mounting...I'll be out of the country, and I don't care! Ahahah! Really, though, I will miss DA, I'm sure, and most likely v3 will be released while I'm gone, because that kind of stuff always happens. Anyway, no more updates than that, because I don't feel like it. Woo. Wish me luck, if you will, y hasta entonces, ¡lo toma fácil!

This morning as I sit writing this, my pageview count teeters anxiously on the verge of 4000. I'm cerain that last view will come--and when it does, I hope someone catches it . But, in anticipation, I give you a brief aside:

It has been now over half a year since I first became an active member of DeviantART, and in that time, the community has shown me nothing but wonderful, loving support. I've developed a reputation for being a benificent (if not rabid ) commenter, and thoroughly enjoy pouring my heart and soul into replies to artwork by people with talent far surpassing my own, who have themselves poured their hearts and souls into their art.

This past week I made my 2000th comment, as large a milestone to me as this 4000th pageview on the breaking horizon...in a way, I can see that for every comment I write, at least two people are inclined to visit my page--which feels like a real success for me. And in all honesty, I can see no end in sight--as long as I am an accepted member of this community, I will continue to write supportingly for it, because I love doing so ^_^

For this, the responce has been almost overwhelming--more than I could have ever hoped for--leaving me with a feeling that what I do here is truely worth something. From a simple thank-you, to a thoughtful comment on my own work, to the unbelievably generous offering of gift art, my experience here has been incredibly gratifying...and I'd like you all to know how much I appreciate your continued support and friendship. So, to everyone and anyone who has ever shown me kindness or appreciation here, THANK YOU!!!

Below are just a few of them--don't hesitate to look!

But honestly, things aren't looking all that bad. I've got a summer job lined up at Pizza Hut, which will keep me busy and give me much-needed moneys; I'll be traveling to Spain at the end of the month for what I'm sure will be an awesome trip; and best of all, my wonderful girlfriend Christina has been keeping me increasingly blissfully happy ever since we hooked up at Prom exactly a month ago. What's more, the DA community has been wonderful to me lately, in spite of the fact that my comments have been more sporadic than usual, and I'd like to thank everyone who's been making me feel like I'm worth something lately. I don't think I've ever been more content

Still, in that light, I realize I haven't been keeping up with my reputation of consistent, bountiful comments lately. I've just been under a lot of pressure of time at the end of school, and I felt I needed to wrap everything up there first before I really devoted myself to such an endeavor. But now, thank God, that's all over, and with luck I'll be able to get back on top--really, I am trying, and I truthfully do miss commenting on everyone's artwork, because it's all worth it. ^_^

However, I did something today accidentally that I probably should have done many weeks ago--I completely cleared my devwatch submissions list, which had amassed into a backlog of, I kid you not, over 1000 deviations. In all honesty, there was no way I was ever going to get through that thing, and it's probably best off that it was purged, so I can start fresh. Still, I'm going to try to go through everyone's gallery on my watchlist and see what catches my eye of the stuff I've missed, which hopefully won't be too much of an undertaking In the meantime, I'll do my best to keep up with the art you all submit in the future Heck, I might even upload some new art of my own!

Also, I've decided that there are simply far too many great people to describe in a 10-entry listing, so I've decided to just give in and list their icons So, without further ado, the following people, alphabetically, are awesome. I mean, they're in alphabetical order, not that they're cool because of their letter composi--aww, just read the list!

Sorry!

However, all of that is pretty much over now, and I'm *slowly* working my way through the queue of over 500 deviations on my watch list, and I will get to every single one because, again, I'm insane. But that's for me to worry about, and not ya'll. I just finished wading through a certain someone's list of over 50 deviations, since she's frikkin' looney, but it keeps me on my toes So, don't worry, Phrog's back-- with a vengance!!
BWAHAHAH..ahah...ehh...ugh. I need a tissue

Anyway, unfortunately I don't have a new issue of Journal Whoar Monthly for you, but you can rest assured that all of these people still r0x0r You can look for some "new" stuff from me soon, hopefully Keep your eyes peeled! No, wait, that's kinna nasty, don't.

Since I've only been actively posting since December 24th (my birthday, by the way ^.^) I'd say that I'm not doing too bad In celebration, you can expect a lot of art from me soon that I've been holding back until I got the chance. Till then, take it easy, and thanks for the pageviews!

Well, I've decided that now that I've attained over 1000 pageviews, as a token of my sincere thanks for everyone's support I'm going to whoar my journal out to the community! Doesn't that sound like fun?

So rather spamming the place with every icon I have on my Devwatch (Oh, and believe me, I'm tempted... ) I'm going to use the space below to show off artists that, for some reason or other, I feel deserve to be there. There will be precisely eight (No more, no less!) complete with a brief description of why they're there. (Note: Many of the below descriptions may be fallacies, outright lies, and even utter bastardizations of the truth. You have been warned.)

So that no one's feelings are hurt, I'll be going this in alphabetical order, because the letters settled that dispute long, long ago (I have not forgotten the atrocities you committed that day, Letter E. You will pay dearly, I swear it ) If you have any ideas or whining to do, just leave your comments, ho monkey!

--Alienfirst
-Because her coolness boggles the mind ^.^
--Ayzewi
-Because her art makes me drool
--Blongblang
-Because his hatching sk1llz utterly 0wn
--Genesis
-Because he does with pencil what most people couldn't do with a team of professional aardvarks working 'round the clock for three years.
--Kami Cheetah
-Because she thinks I'm stalking her. Go figure
--Kestrelabforth
-Because her lineart is h0t!
--Ursula Vernon
-Because I recently had a brief, dirty love affair with her Chupacabra and she's threatening to reveal me if I don't put her here
--WorryFox
-Because she's so mean to her characters, it's adorable. I'm not kidding.

Well, that's about it! If you aren't on here, don't feel bad; the decision process was extremely difficult, rigorous and heartwrenching (read: firing suction-cup darts at DevWatch list) and if you didn't make it on this time, I'll try my best to feature in the next one!

But that means you all have to keep producing the awesome work that I'm keeping you around for in the first place, or I'll be forced to send my crack squadron of ex-KGB psychics to your town and drive you slowly but surely down a spiraling maelstrom of insanity.
