^^^^^^

Anyways, it's good to be back. I had to arrange some things, including school plans and the like. So, I'm still in Community College, and for the 3rd semester. Taking for transfer purposes.

Also, I will use this account mostly for writing, because I'm still working on my skills as an artist. Not to say that I will refuse to post any of my drawings, but the thing with Fur Affinity is that I seem to be getting more attention with my art, and less for my writing (Even though I have just posted the same poem here in my FA account). Good for my art, not so much for writing, and it may be vice versa for here (Despite the lovely support and critique in the past). So, this account will be mostly writing with bits of art, while my FA account will be most art (of the weird kind) with bits of writing. This way, my accounts won't be just clones of each other.

So...how have things been going for everyone?

Oh, and my mood is due to a personal matter. No biggie now, but still.

I have been gone for a long time, simply because I have a lot of personal work to do. It's not that I don't enjoy the company of the folks on this site, it's just that I really really want to do something that will place me on a straighter path.

So long until then. And good luck to all.

I have so many messages to go through...

Welp, (Cracks knuckles) time to see what's up.

In other news, my college life is going fine. Santa Monica is a pretty cool place, and I have made some cool friends. Meanwhile, I have been developing my art and writing personally.

As for webcomic ideas, since my whole webcomic idea that I started back in high school has been shot dead, I will have to start fresh. I'm currently developing ideas, but I am more focused on animation than webcomics. Hopefully I will get back in the groove in that department.

...I have many views on my submissions, and yet very few comments. In my latest submission Lady friend...[link] I have over 100 views...Pretty weird.

Well, I will be going to college soon...gotta find some more scholarships and jobs, though. Entered an Essay Contest for "The Fountainhead" and didn't win any money, but I got a free copy of "Atlas Shrugged", another book that I have read but didn't get to finish due to the threat of the library fine. So far, I am reading it and I am finding it both good and disturbing. Every character has a tiny theme to them. That may seem to be a feature in every novel, but the characters in "Atlas Shrugged" are mostly examples of self-destruction, depravity and hopelessness, save for a few characters that maintain themselves and are hated by everyone because they do. I'm almost done with Part 1 of the book. It is REALLY long, but it is worth it. Rarely has a book got me like this (The other times books like Redwall, The Tragedy of Julius Caesar The Fountainhead, Enders Game and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy stayed with me after I finished reading.)

Also, The Dark Knight. See it. Hurry up.

...this place has been completely abandoned. I mean, really.

Well, on to fave some artist's work...and also to maybe respond to a few journals.

Also, I haven't been going to fourms or other social networks as much as I used to because...well, I guess it is just like any other thing you do when you are younger. I mean, it is nice to socialize, but I realize that I was using social networks as a means to an end, not my own confidence and passion as an ends in themselves. When the first thing to comes up in your mind when developing or making your own story is: "Hmm...would the folks at this fourm think that I am cool for doing this?" then you may need to distance yourself from social networks and groups just a little. The website Furaffinity has been having problems with their server, and it turns out that its accidental shutdown has led me to be more independent. Also, my change in thinking has lead me to losing interest in this place for a while. Because of that, I have been making great progress in my own thing, while regrettably canceling work with a former friend in a webcomic. Many sad things has happened, and I've noticed that I am no longer affected by random musings of immature internet users who only do things to shock and not to enlighten or at least make a person think. People seem to be so drawn into what other people do, feel and think that by they have little to no real opinion or identity of their own. Thus we have people everywhere who seem to get off trying to make people sad or angry...in the internet.

It may be a long time before I become a frequent fourm poster again. Or, maybe it will be never, because it is ultimately another social network. The lesson is: Build yourself up before you expect anyone to listen to you or like you. That is what I am going to start doing.

So, while I will still submit stuff, don't expect me to be addicted to this place.
