A new beginning is coming soon!

Beautiful, glorious, and sacrificing self for renewal,
you build a pyre and set yourself ablaze. For the sake
of self. Red bird of fire you come forth through your
ashes a new bird shedding the old self which no longer
is neededful. You embrace your new strength and fly to
the heights of the sky to the city of the sun and give
the ashes unto the alter of the sun god for your immortality.
Embrace yourself for you are a child of the sun and will
live internal through birth, death, and renewal! The
Spirit never dies!

Today I found out I wont be able to join the military! Due to the fact I have a loss of hearing in my left ear. Im trying so hard not to be pissed but I cant get the fact of how hard I worked to get in. I mean I was at 270 pounds when I decided that I was going to join, and I had to get down to 215 pounds to join. I worked so damn! hard to get that shit off! I mean I ran some days when my body felt like it would fall about, and still I keep running. Somedays I ran so far and so hard I puked 4 to 5 times and on the 5th time puking I feel to my knees cause I had no more strength, but I told myself this will be worth it, just think you wont have to run this hard in boot camp cause you are in better shape than they can hope to put you in. So I got up and forced myself to walk even though I knew I shouldn't. I mean how do you st there tell someone no when you seen yourself on how hard they pushed themselves to make better future for themselves.

All I done today was comment on a couple peoples art and listened to Elvis Presely music. When my mom came home and seen me sitting in my room just listening to Elvis she asked me what was wrong, cause anyone that knows me knows the only time I listen to Elvis at home is either when Im drawing or Im pissed. Which reminds me I have to appologize to her for blowing up on her. So guys it looks like your going to have me around after all.



All though I honestly dont know what the hell to do now.

Well like the title saids I got good news and bad news for you guys. Good news is I should have a new picture up soon if things go well and the bad news is I only have three weeks left before I leave for boot camp. I finally got my weight down to 215 lbs, so you guys will have to wait a while before I come back probably around 6 to 8 months at the least. Hopefully DA wont erase my account. Though other good news is I will draw a going away picture for you guys, so one last picture for you guys before I leave. The one I will be posting soon not the going away is a redesign of my Ninja Chick, so be hopeful I'll be able to post it.

If you can survive to more than 60%, you're pretty far up along the percentile rankings. Yeah, that's like a D-/F borderline, but, this isn't about getting as much as possible. It's about discovering your inner Asian self. And no, you don't need to get at least a 90%, because you parents won't be seeing the score and this won't be counted towards or against your grades.

Yeah I took this test even though I probably wasnt suppose to. I mean come on Im probably the most countrified white dude on here, far from being asian. The test was fun though.

Hey there fellow artist that like to watch me. Its me again and things are kinda lookin good for me lately. My job is treating better, I'll be starting college soon and on top of that my sensei thinks Im good enough to start going into tournaments. He's going to set me up to compete in the next one guess he said that the first place winner gets $10,000 towards college, so I was like hell yeah I will fight for that. Any who Im happy so that means I'll be able to do some drawings.



PS: Oh and Mold if you read this sorry for taking so long on your present but trying to draw your character like I want to is a pain in butt, so I promise I'll get it to you as soon as possible.
