After months, 33 weeks, to be exact, I have re discovered deviantART. As with the other times this has happened, catching up on my messages and watches has been an all-nighter. I had over 600 message center items when I logged in, about 450 of which were deviations, and I looked at all of them. I did read some journals, but not very many at all. Out of the 150ish I may have read 20.

All those deviations have left me feeling a little inspired, as well as looking back through some of my own work. As soon as possible I shall be off to find a suitable pencil and a sketchbook and see where I wind up. In the meanwhile I'll probably touch up some of my poetry or short stories while I work on my website.

As you may have gathered, I need things to fill up my time. Any of my local friends who may read this are encouraged to get me out of the house for any reason whatsoever.

Things have been good and bad lately. Balance is often favorable, and I find this mix of events to be comforting.

Until next time,
Enjoy yourselves!

PS. In other news, the lazy moodicon totally looks like a green smiley getting head from another green smiley on a recliner... with flies buzzing around... wtf...? Just thought I'd let you all in on that 'cuz I stumbled across it when I was looking for my mood. (ADD much?) A lot of my cousins have ADHD. One time a couple of my cousins got drunk and said something about my girlfriend that pissed me off, then had the gall to tell me about it later. Gall was a planet in Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire. You got the jet pack there and got to kill the only cliff wampa in the game. I wish I had a jetpack. I'd fly around and stuff. Legendary Frog made a flash video about a jetpack and a gnome. When I played WoW, I made a gnome character with Josh. Lock and Stock were there names. Too bad there weren't two more people and we could have SmokingBarrel1 and SmokingBarrel2. Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels is a good movie. I used to work at a video store. That was the bomb for a while. Bombs are strange things. How can something so bad be so cool to watch? On second thought, they aren't very cool to watch most of the time. I mean, if you're just blowing something up like an old junked car or a pile of wood or something, it's cool, but when the government plays with bombs people get hurt. Stupid ass kids, too. That reminds me of the Butterfly Effect. That was a pretty good movie. Are you still reading this? I hope to god not. That would be a total waste of your time. Man! That reminds me! I spent a hella lot of time looking at people's artwork a little while ago. Okay, now I'm serious. If you're still reading this I should give you something... like... a life! Seriously! 1up, man! Go for the green mushroom! It's good for you, I promise! Don't give me that 'mushrooms are poisonous' crap. This one's different, we swears it.

We swears!

On... On....... On the PRECIOUS!

The precious is treacherous! It will hold us to our word!

Just get the mushroom! You know you want 99 lives!
