                <description><![CDATA[ In a few months time I do believe I will be making my way into the philly area. True I only have had this current job for a month and a half at this point but a certain someone asked if I would move with them, I said yes. Though the smart and logical list must be complete before such a thing happens. Paying off current bills is first and foremost, then stashing cash aside and plotting a job for after the move beforehand is usually helpful as well. <br />
<br />
When I straighten out my artwork Ill be showing them to the owner(s) of Popmart and hopefully a few will be selected and put up in their gallery, where a good chance for them being sold will grow. Peachness for me. Toodles.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ It has been quite a while since Ive been online, I have been without the internet in the home and have created quite a few pieces that Im very proud of. My style has progressed a bit smoother in the workings of mixed media, mostly surreal Id say. <br />
<br />
I wont be back for a while either, at least I dont think. Until then enjoy my new ID and yeah.. thats about it. Heh.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ "I dont want to take my medication. I dont want it. I want to deal with shit without it. I find it difficult to keep pulling myself up, what kind of friends want to stand by my side? Its annoying and its "drama" they dont need nor do I want to bother them with. I cannot, however, do it completely alone. I need people there- though not to hold my hand, but for reassurance. Hence the major social butterfly disease, I dont want to be by myself because when I am my head revisits places I already have learned to be at peace with."<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Within a week I will not have the internet available to me in my house. For how long- I do not know. So dont bitch to me about it, I know it sucks.<br />
<br />
The other day I went for a three hour long walk into and out of Allentown. That was tiresome. They have a recycle billboard right in the middle of these streets that are full of clutter when all of the trash recepticles were full. That would make a great photo for a newspaper. Even the playground, where children play- was full of containers, cigarette packs, and beer cans. Way to go Ficken Arschlochs. Aside from that, the walk was lovely and full of balls o'clockness. Paperbag = my kind of rock!<br />
<br />
I went to the doctor today as well. I am on disability for six months. Plus I need another pysch and therapy to go along with my new medication(s). Great. I hate the whole not being able to focus, concentrate, remember, retain information, and so on thing. I hate it, not with a passion. I save my passion for my "angry" episodes where I love to throw, break, and hit anything in sight until I regain control or forget. Happened today right before I left for my appointment. <br />
<br />
Im only saying this once: if you get offended when I go off the handle, its your own fault. Im not explaining this anymore, no matter who you are. Ficken Sie sich.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Nothing much has changed, granted a few weeks ago we got a puppy! She is awesome.. and annoying. She is a something Inu, purebred. Looks like a fox with a curly fry tail. Her name is Sandy even though she responds to when I call her Poochie-Poochie. I leave for a day, shes all over me. I leave for a few days, shes all over me. I loveded you piggy! I loveded you!<br />
<br />
I still have bruises from two months ago! How the heck does my body pull that off? They sould of faded and been gone a while ago. That just goes to show you, when I play -I play hard. Im like a latex condom, durable for just about anything and protects you when 'used' right against Stupid Teen Diaperfaces. <br />
<br />
I should try and get some sleep, me and the mum are visiting my brother today. I miss hating him and hate missing him. I think its a common sibling emotional standpoint on each side. We love to hate to miss and love to miss to hate, then you have the other combinations to go through. Gah. Either way, Im crashing and wish to do so comfortably. <br />
<br />
<br />
*FYI on my current situation of suck: Im still broke and then some, might get back on meds(maybe), getting a temporary computer til my 'made' one is done, sleeping schedule is that of a dark elves, and new cell phone number -for those who dont know what it is, msg me.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I am fed up with myself. I mess up one situation and then try to mend it or something of an equal acceptance, only to unknowingly mess up the same situation with a different focal point. It probably doesnt help that Ive been out of meds and off of them by lack of money either. I found ways to keep it semi-tame but that in itself only goes so far for so long.<br />
<br />
Everything else is good for the most part, such as me considering a life altering decision that just popped into my head. There are several other factors that are currently running circles under my feet but those will trip me when the time is scheduled.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ My one fishy died, RIP Crappers. I flushed him. Loser is still kicking and doing great. I took a few cool photos of them together, two which are of Crappers' floating dead body. If you zoom in you can see the details. <br />
<br />
I dont think the 70's party is going to happen when me and Steve want it to. We made a list of party themes including... a toga party! With none other then the complete soundtrack from Animal House on repeat, haha. It will be grand.<br />
<br />
My past weekend was entertaining, I have the injuries to prove it. I love you giant bruise of swollen doom!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Yeah, an interesting night was had. I hung out with Steve and met up with Ashley, we then proceeded to this semi new Thai Bar in Easton, pronounced 'fe-nam'. Our friend, Gutch, was there and suggested to me Kirin Ichiban, a beer that I actually like. After an hour or so I bought Steve and Ashley a shot, I had two of JD. Yummy.<br />
<br />
Got back to the appartment shortly after the shots where shirtless o'clock & dancing(to a band I will never mention) became better then yelling out the window to strangers 'whoo were topless up here'. But oh, the night got better, Gutch walked in on the topless dancing and decided to join.. <br />
<br />
All of this happened because we were waiting for our friend to show up and hang out with. There is more to the story then these words let on, none of which I feel like typing either. Steve noticed and proclaimed that the happenings of tonight was very out of character from my usual self. Its not often but it exists in me.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ There is something I believe in the formulas make up that wants to see how stubborn I am. That wants to see when I would give up, at what point does the pressure of being and feeling like a failure make you flatline. Does this bitch really know how to lay down and die? I suppose genetics might have a few trophies, scanning over histories' recordings of what the females in this family had to put up with. Strong willed, determined. They never knew what it meant to not fight back or back down from something that stood in thier way. The strength and anger of bottled up rage was always the weapon of choice. <br />
<br />
Timid to most, appearing like a doe with balls, in the eyes of all who see. I, myself, have trouble with the simple things and things that are not difficult in the least for the larger chunk of the worlds populas. Filling out insurance papers, walking to the corner store seven blocks away in broad daylight, getting a frickin' drivers license, finding another frickin' job and so on. And if not difficult, I procrastinate with things I'd rather not do for a while, obtaining a license is not one of them. Then you have the most irritating, crack headed, muffin stuffing, mother fucking invention that loves to sniff my ass; the catch 22. <br />
<br />
Before moving, I could walk anywhere. After moving, it took me a while to familiarize myself with my surroundings and to ponder transportation to all these mystical places I didn't care for at first. The length of time since the moving of many large particles, few things have ceased off of the 'To Do' list. I get so far and become happy for once, no temper or lashing out, and then the dreaded headache returns because I thought I was getting the hang of things and doing a good job. There are only several hundred times this up and down can go about before the person who is living within myself starts to hesitate for fear of failing again and again. <br />
<br />
Though it is true you learn more from failing then succeeding, and it is also true that what does not kill you makes you stronger.. it is hard to keep those words in mind when you have fallen down so many times that your address is the center of the earth and you have the worst rash ever on your ass. Sometimes, the only thing I can do is look up and wonder 'how did I fuck up this time?' or 'why cant I do anything right?' This whole earthly business should be simple or at least not as hard as Ive probably been making it out to be. Though I try and try, to some it seems as if I am only wasting space, that I should really not exist. Has the formulas make up skipped a generation? Have I become immune to my own medication? <br />
<br />
It is hard to control what I dont understand, I try a lot to understand myself and I believe I do now, but when I fall the glass shatters and the walls bleed and the wind outside could tear the flesh off of you.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ To inform some of you who actually read these things, I will be getting a "new" computer in 1-2 weeks. Its not brand new but compared to the one I have now - it is! I do indeed have a job. What is even more odd is that Ill have a second one in about a week. I dont think Im trying to make up for lost time in the working world.. I just need to keep busy. Otherwise all I do is sleep and feel like crap. Its an experiment for now.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I'm half awake at this point, so I will try to word my sentences decently. I got a job. I'm a waitress. I'm more then ok with it, today was my first day and I did better then most of the other waitress' did on their first day. I was nervous and worked up beforehand, after an hour I got comfortable with the feel and the pace of the place. <br />
<br />
There is a reason why things may not happen as quick as they should, the answer is simple. It's called life. You go to get a drink for someone, you are asked to help another out with dishes.. it happens.. I find it interesting.<br />
Domino effect really.<br />
<br />
Last night I got to hang out with a few friends I haven't seen in a few weeks or so due to their college and work schedules. The conversations between the six of us.. I think jesus rolled over in his grave! Then our waitress left for over an hour, with no one covering our table, and had us questioning her existence and lack of refills. Here she fled the establishment for whatever reason.. there was no excuse for that. <br />
<br />
Things are coming together for me in slightly surprising ways. Though I am tired and my feet hurt a bit, I feel good inside, my mood is in a pleasent/content state.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well, well, well. My tattoos turned out very nicely, they are looking fantastic and are almost completely healed. One day there will be pictures of them for all (who care) to see. <br />
<br />
My medication has been upped, starting tomorrow Im going to feel so much better. Once that happens I know Ill have more focus and a 'want' to do things again that I used to love doing. Another thing that I miss greatly- my trips to the cemetery. Being there gives me a feeling of inner peace and understanding.<br />
<br />
The only good thing about valentines day are the suicide rates. Im using that metaphor for my great displeasure in the yearly occurance.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ There is a day coming up with a time in mind that has been scheduled for a thing which makes the day not too far off something of a long time inkling all the more better. In dumb terms, I'm getting a fucking tattoo on Monday! Hehe, it makes me happy, I like the feeling. Not a pain nor a pleasure but a feeling true in neutrality. It's just a fucking needle, I'd do it myself but I know I would get carried away.. dont give me gadgets and expect me not to tinker- damnit!! <br />
<br />
My tattoo consists of two very simple designs: a sun on one shoulder and a crescent moon on the other. How this came to be.. hmm, it's called when I find something I like and I dont put it down, it's mine. I saw this picture Luis Royo did of a tarot deck, the one photo titled 'Priestess' I believe, where this woman had a sun and crescent moon tattoo on her shoulders. I saw that picture years ago. Hehe.<br />
<br />
Not to mention I am thinking about a series of stars or small constellations to accent my collar bone between the sun and moon tatts. It's a thought, but to pull it off so that it looks and matches is the time I need to think about.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ It sucked. No one knows how to have a conversation that doesn't revolve around WOW or KR. That is all I hear when I hang out with my friends and it was a simple request not to hear that shit at the party. There are other things to talk about, seriously. I may not have much of a life but I have plenty to say about a lot of subjects, things, headlines.. whatever it may be. And so what if I failed to turn 21 the right way, fuck you people. I have my reasons. That and it just wasn't a night for fun, it was drawn with lines of disapointment all over the damn place. I should of counted on it going the way it did.. <br />
<br />
The laptop is out of order and will be for some time, that means I will be using my piece of shit computer and with that said, I will be limited in what I can do online. I hate that but there's nothing I can do physically or mentally to better the situation except use what I have available to me until then. As always, I'm stuck waiting on other people <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well now, I brought back a little something from my weekend in NJ.. Evil, dirty germs and it's because they're from NJ(no offense!). lol. All the green goo has been slowly and annoyingly making its way out of my nasal sacs. <br />
<br />
At work I used almost a whole box of tissues from between yesterday and the day before. I found meself a job.. again!! Working at the same doctors office my mother does. It's fun, I like it there already, all the people are smart asses. I fit in just nice.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Long story short, computer died. Im using a friends laptop until I can buy a new one. Created a few new pieces that Ill try and put up within the next week or so. That and Ill be cleaning out any art or whatever that I dont like anymore and/or doesnt get attention. Whatever. 'Til then, starve the kids and pay the whores. <br />
