Good stuff to come.

I just wanted to let everyone know I'm taking my art down, once I get back tonight, so if anyone wants to save now would be the time to do it. I'm tired of doing it like this.. and I need to take some time and just think about if I really wanna keep drawing or not, in the mean time, in order to organize and such, I'll be taking my artwork off here, and my other sites..

If I do come back, I won't be using this exact screen name. though I will let you all know, here, what the new one will be. Maybe even a web page..

Anyway, I'll see you later.

-Blackpaw

But I'm not. *twitches* How about I ramble a bit?! ^/_^

The roommate, he came around! :D He realize he's had issues... and that they were dragging us down. He apologies, verbally to use both... and, incidentally, paied the full rent for April. all $980 of it, himself, as an apology. He said he'll do the same next month too. At least he realizes he's got a problem, and stopped before it drug him down too far... So, I'm happy about this.

I found an old, favorrite game of mine. Master of Orion 2. Enjoyable stuff. The thrid in the series blew, too much change. IF anyone doesn't know of this game, pick it up. I'm currently looking for a way to play online wiht it.. I know there are ways.

Also, speaking of Star games. StarCraft = Rock. I need to get my copy again, as one of my disks is shattered, but if anyone still plays, I'll join you all ^/_^

Artwise, I'm working on a few colourations, it's much harder on a laptop, I tell you that.. espically when you shift slightly and everything goes all negative thanks to the damn screen moving x.x I need to get my PC fixed, which I've discovered the power supply is more than dead (tested it with a jumper, didn't turn on, so then I took it apart, found -burnt- wires inside.. which is a nice treat) I'm only hopiong that, by some Miracle my HD and RAM escaped the carnage... I'm still pissed my Power supply tripped... and you know what? It was after the companies warranty ^/_^ Badger luck.. for the love of god...

On the lighter side, it's my pay week. And I hoping my Taxes will be in soon enough. >.< Stupid KFC.

Anyway! That's abobut it in the world of Badger

Also: I think I broke my toe... x.x Hurts like a mofo when I move it.

I love you  ashaera and my coongirl, Hexx!

So, we got this new roomie, and he offered to pay us 1/3 of all the bills here, the rent, the cable.. everything! He's a nice guy, a great dart buddy, and everything.

The problem? He's not paied -anything- towards us for this months rent, and only $100 of last months! People have been asking the reasons why my phone is to be turned off, and I'll be honest. It was my fault. I lost track and spent too much time talking to friends and one of my mates... and now I've lost the ability to talk to my skunkette over the phone on her birthday, thanks partially to my stupidity... and the fact that, if our roomie had kept to his word, our phone bill -wouldn't- be an issue.. it could be paied off easily in a couple weeks, given how much my brother and I would be saving on the rent and such with his help.

But no.. he makes $1000 a week being an electrician.. and by tuesday of next week, he trying to bum smokes off my brothewr cause he's broke.

I'm honestly tired of freeloading people. I'm tired of this planet. If you want me, I'll be forming plans to take over this pitiful world wiht my skunkette and my coon. All the stupid poeple will die.

God, I want that >/_<;

Okay, my phone is getting shut off soon.. it'll be off for a few weeks while we try to catch up on some importatn bills... a few things hit us out of no where, and now we're [my brother and I] are trying to make up the slack.

Ugh, I cannot -wait- to be on my paws... it'll be about time. Anyway, my apologies to my lovely mate  ashaera since it seems as though a little plan will have to be posponed... but that's okay.. it'll happen! ^/_^

Love you, Ashaera,

And too all of you. I'll see you all soon.

1. I've got a bad temper at times x/_x

2. I bite my nails .... Yeah >/_<

3. I have this tendency to be overprotective.. x/_x

4. I've got no confidence in my Artistic skills!

5. I tap my fingers when I bored :)

6. I tend to be a litle strange, even rl.. >/_>

hehe mm do it if you want to... thoguth I'm curious to see what  ashaera would say... ;)

Have you ever sat by and looked thorugh your work.. and realzied, that in the years you've been drawing.. nothign has fundamentally changed? I kind of realized that tonight... and then looking through these galleries, Seeing how much other people I know have improved.. it's grating on me, a bit, to be honest.. I don't know if it's jealousy.. but.. I want to be more than what I am in the end.. more than what I am right now.

I'm taking about a week... to myself. No Trades. No commisions. No Gifts. I'm taking a week to try and figure out what I need to improve on, and if anyone has any ideas, I'm more than open to them.. I'm tired of being left behind... I think it's time for me to step up a little and grow a pair.. and actually do something.

Later, all. I'll be back.

Stupid Net company kicked me off for a couple weeks, but I am Back! Ready to grace you wiht futher badgery delights.

Couple thigns though.. I no longer do Requests, I've been burnt by this several times, by several people, such as Swane/Andy, And a few more recently... So, no Requests. unless your a close friend of mine, or doing a trade, I'm not doing work for you unless I get money in return. I'm a little tired of being yanked around. I know I'll probably suddenly be hated by some, but I don't care ^/_^

I start a new job tommorrow!

Working in the Warehouse my brother operates out from. filling CO2 tanks, doing maintenence on the Soda machines, and installing them, ect. They're training, and will even pay for my CDL if I decide to get it! they'r epaying $10.50 / hr, guaranteed 40 hours a week. 6:00 am / 2:30 pm. monday - Friday.

More money! :D Yayness! :D I can fix my compy in a few weeks..

^/_^ I'll be on WoW and stuff after about 3:00, given time to eat a meal.

Also, Dart seaon's coming up again, so Tuesday and Saturday nights, I won't be around too much until later! I'm working on making my routes to some tourney's!

I hit the Las Vegas Open this past weekend... it was fun, my first big tourney. Got knocked out by some decent players, but I held my own! Next year.. I'm gonna start winning these things, all the way ^/_^

And wiht that.. I want to ask, any other Dart playing Furs out there? :)

Sorta thingy...

Talking with  eradragon .... I came pu wiht an idea..

As some of you know.. I made a toy called the homewrecker (not my name, but the designation given by a friend) A nice toy that pretty much puts most thigns to shame in length and width (About.. 28" long, and 7" wide), complete wiht an anal attachemnt (14" long, 5" wide), 10 different vibrate settings and solar powered. Nubs on the head send a little shock pulse thorugh them at the push of a button, and is made of a speical gel coating that simulates a cumming male. (this is purely RP, mind you.. something like this rl would seriously dmaage a person... but  ashaera has never seemed to mind ;) )

now, I ask of you, my fellow furries. How do you want to see it used! Give me your ideas!

I'll choose one I like, wiht the help of a friend... and Draw it for you! I'll give you all 4 days...

I've gotta keep my mind stable somehow x.x

Kinda creepy wierd sex is how I stay stable.... >/_>;;

Using my Bro's laptop, I'm on WoW:BC (Runetotem mostly) and I cna do Skethc commisisons!

So, $10 will get you a pencil commision form yours truely! :)

I need to get my PC back, I'm going nuts here x.x Kehehe!

*Begins grinding a squirrel and petting a bag of coffee beans* .. .*twitch*

My Mobo is fried, thanks to a power surge, and my strip failing badly.. so.. in about $250 I'll be bakc online and able to finish shit... god I hate life ._.;

Grr.. stupid college. I've already made my choice, and -they- won't drop the shit. I'm going in the fall, once finances are better. I've been working as a Supervisor for a few months now, trying to make ends meet and I'm almost out of the hole, but there's still some thing that need to be put into grasp, and I really really wish some boneheads would realize that! Temper this with me getting, yet another, "If you want something, work for it!" response... like I'm not working my ass off -already- to dig myself out of 5 year hole of debt... I'm overly pissed and ready to go bite something. Very Hard.

Also the fact I got written up art work today because my register was missing $30 from another idiots mistake.. which they found, but still wrote me up anyway! this mean one more and I'm fired, regardless of how good a worker I am (first one for being late.. like I could avoid it getting a fuckin' ticket the same day in the morning...) so, If I'm late once more, or something else screws up, I'm kissing my job goodbye.. stupid zero tolerance policy... some people need to die.

I'm going to talk with them on Saturday, and tel them straight, "I'm not starting until my shit is settled, Period." And I've got two new job interviews, one of which I hope works out well, this weekend also, but we shall see... I suppose.

*goes off to WoW for some mass murdering* (and mind you, I'm only on this due to the good graces of a friend... It's nice having a vent so I don't go and being killing people RL.. ^/_^ )

...and with it comes hopefully a better year x.x

I've been working on commissions, so I should have them done by the 1st, if not tomorrow. :)

I've been playing WoW on a new horde Server, Runetotem, in my friend Moonstone's guild... freaking awesome guild, too :3 Already level 20 after a few days. (attemps to drag a skunkette and a coon over there, for some fun ^/_^ )

And here's to you all! Have a Happy New Year!

Okay, so I'm driving my brother to work, when all of a sudden we come upon a bus, the windows in the back tinted red, and a body bag being hauled into the back of an ambulance. Some guy in the back of a police car, obviously cursing and yelling about something, and like 5 cop cars surrounding the bus.

... this city scares me sometimes. ./_.

Lil late, but better than never!

As you can tell, by my new submission, I'm over my artists block that's plagued me for a few weeks! so, I'm getting ambitious. ^/_^ I've a long standing Idea I'm gonna test here, see how well it goes over... I would like more and more feedback too, telling me how I'm doing as an artist. I want to improve, and you all are the only way I can ;) hehe

anyway! Merry Christmas! and a Yiffy New year!

Okay.. so I as chatting with my mate, and my internet gets cut off. she was typing a response to something I said of some possible importance .. >.< and that was just the beginning of this wonderful week..

I've worked a shitload of hours, good for the paycheck, bad for me, especially since, during out last inventory shipment, some idiot decided, "Hey. all these small boxes can support the forty pound ones!" and in my trying to get everything done, I was trying to be careful and shift a box out, when suddenly the whole thing basically crashes down, my arms twists in a direction it really isn't supposed to go, and I get slammed by two boxes of popcorn chicken. I had to goto the hospital, and I hate those places, and get my arm looked at, luckily it just twisted and nothing else really major.. but I was in a supportive sling for a short time, just to help.

I was also almost involved in a big old accident earlier in the week too, when some jerk off decides to cut me off, and try to zoom down an exit ramp... getting smashed by a family in a station wagon consequently. Luckily the only one who was carried doff in a stretcher was the idiot... but it's never a nice thing having to tell the police that you just a family jeopardized by an idiot who had to get to the red light faster. and it's even creepier to think he could've hit me just as easily....

Anyway.. now the internet's are back, and hopefully things will improve.. >.<

Okay, so I talked to COX today, told them I made no such online payment. And they're giving us the benefit of the doubt, for now, but it's no Guarantee that it'll stay on. but for now, it'll suffice. x.x

I hate crap always going like this.. hopefully.. I'll catch a break soon..

To all who visit this journal,

This is just a notice, from the Badger. He called me, and requested I do this. ANyways, seems like our badgersness ran into some more problems. Someone tried to pay his cable company with a starter check. And it just went through, ...well, actually, it didn't go through, and his cable service gto cut. He doesn't know how long it will be out.

-Ebon

Let see.. I think issues have been resolved, hopefully ._.

I got a massive battlechain going on FFXII ... for fun.

And.. I'm gonna get some tape soon, so I can ink stuff x.x

That's about it..

So, I've successfully done it again, upset a friend who did something nice. EraDragon commissioned an image, involving my mate, and one of my characters, and several others, instead of finding it nice.. I blew up like the jealous, over sensitive prick I am about some bullshit like, 'why just an extension of me, and not my personal form?' ... which is stupid, given what the theme was about...

See, the point of this is, I'm an idiot... I got mad, and vented frustrations about thing on everyone else. the reason I've not done much on commissions, si cause I'm trying to amass hours at work, and even with my coming paycheck, my brother and I are still $300 in the hole, and around here, if you don't' get the rent, then you're out. It's Las Vegas, they can afford to do that, since everyone is looking for a home. Point is, on Monday, I may end up selling much more than I want to, to have a place to live. Diago, if you're reading this, you can send me what you owe, man.. it would really help now..

I'm sorry I blew up at you Era, it was a nice picture.. and i the end, I've just alienate myself further away form everyone, like usual.

so.. I'm going to try to come up with a resolution.. in the mean time, SinisterTaz, since you didn't seem to et the e-mail, I'll send with my alternate account.

This is so not like the RL game.. >.>


So.. here it is!
