Welcome 2010 with joy! (Or punch it in the face.)

Journal Entry: Thu Dec 31, 2009, 8:46 PM
Another year coming to an end. Crazy, crazy year. It seems each year gets crazier for me, in both good and bad ways!

What I mean by the journal title: LOOK FORWARD TO ENJOYING THE NEW YEAR! Or, if you are a stressed, busy, hardworking person who's got no time for enjoyment, LOOK FORWARD TO DOMINATING THE NEW YEAR!

In all seriousness, just remember: A year is but an arbitrary measurement of time. Time is always passing; don't count by the years. Do what you want to accomplish THAT DAY, and put behind you what you wish to forget THAT DAY. Or as soon as possible. Do not look to a new year to start making changes. That's why I no longer make "New Year's Resolutions". It's called: life goals, whether short-term or long-term, small or grand!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Will Update This Week!!

Journal Entry: Sat Dec 19, 2009, 11:48 PM
FYI: I am certain I will update sometime this week, probably before Wednesday. Of this I am sure! (If I don't, assume something horrible happened to me!!)

This update is my favorite piece of work that I will have submitted to deviantART thus far. I hope it is received as a worthy update after a more than two-month hiatus.

My break has been very relaxing thus far. I will be spending most of my going-out time in the Atlanta area, so if any of you guys happen to be passing through the city, that's where I will be at!

Hope everyone is enjoying a relaxing and fun-filled holiday season, free of stress or troubles.
See you all around.

DEVART 3 YEAR ANNIVERSARY! UPDATES RESUME SOON!!

Journal Entry: Tue Dec 8, 2009, 9:16 PM
December 9, 2006 - December 9, 2009

I was but a little 15-year old when I registered on deviantART; it feels like a really long time ago, yet short also!

I'd like to express my thanks to anyone who has given me support, the encouraging comments, or even for just stopping by. I never anticipated what recognition my silly work would get, but, I am still ever grateful. It feels like an accomplishment to have made my stand in this community, and I truly am thankful for those of you who enjoy the work I have created. I know I do not often show my thanks enough, but please don't doubt that it is absent. Thank you, thank you, thank you again for what support you have given to me or to any other member of deviantART!

I hope to continually be able to update, accept the good and bad, and hopefully my work has somehow in some way puts smiles on people's faces. It would be a double-blessing if I am able to do that from posting my simple artwork to the internet and the world.

Schools ends Thursday for me, as I am currently studying for the last of my finals. I shall resume updating SOON as I begin my month-long vacation the day after tomorrow!!

So, as always... See you around, stay tuned,

and thank you for 3 exciting years on deviantART!

Have a wonderful holiday season.

Thanksgiving Week

Journal Entry: Tue Nov 24, 2009, 7:47 PM
Is everybody's winter going great?! I sure do hope so!!

As the first semester is coming to a close, and now that all the courses' material has been taught, I am finishing up a few small assignments before beginning to study for the dreaded final exams, which are sure to kill my grades unless I study a lot, lot, lot. I don't know how, but as of now I have A's and B's... yes, even in gross/nasty/yucky chemistry... I don't want to screw up my GPA too early as a freshman!

I just started my Thanksgiving break today, but of course it's not without some homework mixed in. Other than that I expect to have the best Thanksgiving of my life thus far! Family time on Thursday, mega-clothes-shopping-spree with girlfriends on Friday, and my college's football game Georgia Tech VS. UGA on Saturday, one of the most ridiculous, exagerrated, and fun college rivalries ever! This is going to be the most fun I have had in a while. I've had like, NO life since college started! And it's gonna be that way for the next 8 years! D:

This Thanksgiving, or as with any Thanksgiving, and even in every day of our lives, never forget the most important people to you. I absolutely loathe spewing cliche words and cringe at myself for saying such things, but it's absolutely true regarding being thankful for your family, friends, and even your most prized material possessions. It needs to be said, because for many people including myself, it's something we tend to forget probably almost every day.

On another note, one cool thing about college is that I get a month off before 2nd semester starts up again in January 2010. That's double the time from grade school! I almost didn't believe it until my friend had to prove it to me. It's going to be a great breath of fresh air before the more difficult and dreaded spring semester begins! Before the end of 2009, I am likely to make an update, maybe two.. I'm trying!

Have a great holiday season and for all the fellow students, let's hang on just a little longer until 1st semester ends in December!! :]

Best wishes to all.

Important Notice

Sat Oct 31, 2009, 10:43 AM
  • Mood: Winter Downs
What I am about to say is something that's perturbed me for some time now, but I haven't really said anything about it because it's not particularly urgent, but I will say it today.
I do realize that deviantART is obviously a very public website, wherein members are free to comment on each other's pages and deviations. Interaction between fellow artists and providing comments and critique is a crucial aspect of deviantART.

HOWEVER!

It is also important to consider an artist's personal page. Clearly deviantART does not enforce strict rules on what one can and cannot say, because you all should be mature enough to know what is inappropriate. In addition, viewers should try their best to sound respectful when commenting on another's page or deviation.

This is where my request comes in: If you should comment on any part of my page or deviation, PLEASE refrain from using strong language. I'm sure I don't need to define what constitutes "strong language". Ironically, most of this problem is coming from people who are complimenting my work. I do not need to read "your work is [bleeping] awesome!" or "Sonic is so [bleeping] cool!" or whatnot. I'm quite capable of understanding your feelings without those little details!

The last thing I want to do is force constrain on one's natural diction, but really, the use of strong language is definitely not necessary and very easy to avoid when using on the internet.

The main reason for my request is that I think many of you guys fail to realize that a lot of deviantART's members are still very young. I don't want people to come to my page and see it littered with profanity by random people. That's not only irritable to me, but it's bad exposure to younger passers-by, for whom I'd like for them to be able to browse my work without fear of running into inappropriate material. Which is why I myself try to refrain from using this kind of language, and from drawing anything weird or questionable (that's not my style anyway).

This may be a petty request, and to some people it may even seem pointless, but please respect me if you wish to comment my page by trying to adhere to this rule. I know there will always be violators, and hey, it's not too big of a deal, but I know you all are capable, because sometimes in life, it is necessary. This is more for my visitors' sake than for my own. I hope you understand.

For most of you all, this is not a problem anyway, so I am thankful for your courteousness. :]

Have a good day!
