Throw your cheek, dopplegangers. One of us.

wanted to make a less depressing entry than the "Dead." one, but SO MUCH SHIT HAS HAPPENED, DOJIFOIDJGOIFJGOIJSFG so the last time I opened this window up, i was like "na', f' that"

Let's start with the shoutouts:

As you can tell through a quick perusal of my gallery, I'm gleeeeeeeeeeefully taken, and oft express this. @_@ Her name is Alex, and she's given me the drive and support not only to do all the new stuff you see in my gallery that I've not had the skill or patience to before, but to strive, to grab, to become someone better and stronger in more ways than artistic ones. Anybody that's had to sit through the random talk {of goals on EI, graphics, music, jewelry/shirt design, and a thousand other things i've stopped pursuing at one point from lack of faith in myself} -knows- how big that is. There's something there never was to this extent inside me, and it's joy, hope.

She continues looking optimistically to the future, as do I. I'm head over heels for her, and probably the luckiest dude to exist.

I randomly recieve kudos from folks to this day on them being able to see me happy, for -having- her, or for how much of a hopeless romantic i've become. ._0 i can tell you guys, i'm just as glad as you are, but thanks for the crazy support!

I gotta' cut this short, though, 'cause if I don't, this entry'll end up being 80 pages long on said subject -alone-, but no shoutout on my part is complete without the biggest factor in my life.

Kevin, my IRL bro, has been excelling at photomanipulation. I've seen his first work, and looking at his last, then that one, brings forth the sense of progress. He ain't stopped getting better yet, though, so anyone that's interested should keep their eyes wide and theeeere he is

Zerofuser, my musical sensei, who won the DDR contest a bit back. He's working on a game soundtrack atm, and I oft hear stuff from it. It's all great; Hella' props.

I dunno' if he even has a personal site, but I can give you older stuff he's been in. Flash Flash Revolution is just one.

And if I say Raj, I gotta' mention the musical equivalent of uber-progress, WL. He probably doesn't stop by my DA account a shitload, but he's gone from nada to ultra-fresh in the time we've known each other, and I owe even -starting- FL to an argument we had way back. Many say I've got competition, but few know that I started off as -his- competition

now, i consider us dead even on opposite sides of the genre spectum

I'm gonna' talk to him about getting a site up for 'im, and GETTING ONE OF MY OWN UP, JESUS CHRIST. >_<

Tony, wherever the -fuck- he is. I'm gonna' kill him when I find him. He just dropped off the face of the planet! djksgljdslj

LAST BUT NOT LEAST BY A -LOOOOOOOONG- SHOT, MY #1 BRO KOZ, who I missed a fucking IM from, and barely talk to any more.

He is the dude that's stuck around through a lot of my crazy ideas, many of which I've thrown him into >_>, and I think he'll be glad to see a lot of older ones we've wished for, as a team, come true. 'Preciate you being there through a lot of shit, bratja

And if the list has to be this long, might as well give a straight DA shoutout: , my favorite stock photographer, and practically my mom on here back in the day, who's seen me from n00b to now, helped me through any probs I made clear to her, and thumbs-upped me all the way. I don't talk to her enough to let her know that she's still my buddy, and I haven't forgotten about her If you're reading this, add Devil@ephemeralinfinity.com !

But onward onto explanation of random stuffs.

I know I haven't been submitting much, but that's because I haven't been -doing- much. I lost my Wacom pen for the longest time, my 300 gig crashed, and I'm very lazy. @_@ But the things that I have done, I'll submit. And SINCE I'M


!!!!--------->GETTING A PRINTS ACCOUNT<--------!!!!

As soon as this bank transaction finally goes through, I should be doing some insane shit, both musically and artistically. I -need- this money, and even with that aside, there are some majestic things I am determined to do that use those two mediums as tools. They're not sharp enough for that yet, but god, they will be.


----------------------------------------------------------------------


Also! I might be moving to ~tsunamidashirakawa, so keep them eyes peeled! As a matter of fact, after these devations, all stuff shall be submitted there, and this one will be used for perusal! 'Cause I'm not buying two subscriptions. -_-

I'll link music when I get a site up, which better be soon before I punch myself in the cock about it. And break my knuckles.

I don't have a lot to say past that. I miss chao on sonic adventure 2. and my lover, so very very uber, though she's sleeping and should be on soon @_@ <33333333333333

maybe i'll play SA:2 until she gets on, draw a little, etc, etc

this sounds like so much like an epitaph that I might as well say thank you all, DA itself. I read about the cofunders of DA getting booted, and it struck a serious fire in me, 'cause I come to realize that were it not for a place to put all this up, and interact with the world in this way, I would have stopped shortly after I started. I fucking love this place, and all the people that I've come in contact with along the way, many of which I couldn't find out if I wanted to, due to the stupid deletion of my gallery {-_-}. Your feedback was the original reason for me to wanna' get better, and even if my devotion to art has faltered many times throughout my history, the fans my n00b ass has had {though i'm not saying there were thousands, or that i deserved them} have helped me through, from MS paint to Arcsoft Photostudio right up to PS.

This is just as much my home as RPG:2 and soundclick is, and I appreciate you all. It sounds really exxagerative of me, but as vaguely as I know many of you, I do. And with the love of my life beside me, I can jump forward, dash towards getting better, and better, and better, never falling.

I know I'm not excellent, but I will be one day. I will always be myself, and do things in a different way than others do, but something awesome will occur, and it is not only in the name and honor of the girl I love eternally, or the friends that have been there since I was drawing stick figures, but to each and every last one of you. I have a lot to repay to this place, in a big, big way.

Later, folks.
