Ok so i have submitted a few paintings i have done, one of them is amazing the other i dont think so highly of. I'm working on a self portrait right now
But I am making this journal to tell you all that i joined the navy so i will be on from time to time and also i will dissappear for quit some time whenever then send me to bootcamp. But I will keep up the painting when i can and hopefully get good to the point where someone may want to buy a print.(please do if you will i need money)
I havnt done many writings lately. So maybe the navy will inspire me to do more.
I have one poem though that i will submit soon i hope. I have some editing to do to it. It seems jumpy which is what i want but it seems too jumpy i guess..I dont know when its up please feel free to read and send forth your criticism

Its been a long time since i've had any activity on here. Lets just say that with everything going on in the past I've not been very artistic in any way at all. Except for the panda.
I'm writing to tell all those who actually read my ramblings that i wont be online for a while starting in about a month or so because I joined the navy.
Its something that i want to do and it will be quite the challenge as i am a gay male but i feel that i can do it. I will try and find the motivation to keep up the art/writing before i leave and even when i'm gone hopefully i'll post something new before i leave for bootcamp if not it'll be a while before you guys here from me again.

so i moved out of my parents house finally *woot woot* i'm pretty excited about it as well.
i'm living with two other males both of which are pretty cool in pontoon beach, illinois
so i'm updating telling you guys i moved yet again lol. i seem to be moving alot lately...lol...but its all good..change is awesome and it has definately released alot of my stress....and any new stress that shows up will be due to the fact that i'm living on my own with a few other ppl and thats stress that i bring upon myself so its all good and not other problems ....
take it easy

Well, I've not been on this site in a month or two. I've been really busy lately. I got a job and then I went on vacation to Salida, colorado where i was white water rafting and did a jeep tour as well as toured a ghost town and some other stuff. It was really amazing. On the way home I witnessed a high speed chase with the end result of the cops killing the driver. i saw the body and all.....there has been alot of deaths lately...or maybe i've just started taking notice. anyways we've been house hunting again....it seems like we dont live in one place for more than a year lately..i've been in missouri for going on 3 years and this will be our third move. also i am purchasing a truck....its really old but in good condition for its age and what not. its a 1990 Ford Ranger. I went and looked at it and was quite pleased and i was expecting to pay $900 which was the asking price but when i mention it he told me he would sell it to me for $750 so i'm getting a pretty good discount. Monday i am going with my stepdad to get the truck. My stepdad decided also to give me $450 for graduation to put towards the truck...it was a bit of a shock to me but he did it so i'm only paying $300 in the end which is good because i have to fix the exhaust leak and pass the admissions or whatever then get it licensed and tagged and everything with insurance so i'll be dishing out some money so its cool that i've already saved a good bit.

But anywho those are the excuses as to why i've not been on deviantart lately. I've neglected it . But i will do better i swear. lol.

Oh i've come across this new book series...The first is called Twiligh, the second is called New Moon and the third is Called Eclipse but its not released yet..though it does come out this month. I recomend you all to read it its really good. My summary of it is that its a love story between a vampire and a human with alot of adventure and action. I really like it. I've also read the last Harry Potter as well as a book called The Historian and Stiff. My book collection is growing and lately i've turned more to reading than writing or drawing/painting...so i need to balance out my hobbies.
