For Fuck's Sake (Ranting)
Posted 16 years agoI'm a pretty complacent guy. I tolerate quite a bit of crap when it comes my way, understand that if I can wait it out everything will be alright. I don't expect much from other people, and I try to be fairly self-sufficient on everything that I can be.
But for fuck's sake I'm about at my wit's end on the whole 'chaos of the universe' bullshit. Let me hit the high points.
First, my roommate's computer crapped out. And that's all fine. PC parts fail and need replacing. He doesn't know a lot on the technical aspects of computers, so when it does fuck up I have to fix it. We ordered a new motherboard, and it did the same thing. Tried to fry the power supply. Well, we tried a better power supply. It tried to fry that one. Turned out the graphics card was the culprit, with a faulty transistor/resistor that was shooting the power units as soon as the system was turned on. That was about eight hours of my time and patience three weeks or so ago. I was so aggravated with the whole ordeal by the time I was done.
After that a friend of mine went into the hospital. Seemed like he just had a small problem. He was sent home a couple of days later after a small surgery. A bit of a surprise, but everything seemed fine.
That same week I got fired from my job, lied to by the terminating manager, and sent on a run-around to get my unemployment details. Pretty good waste of employment anyway, I was kinda alright with leaving. My roommate was pissed about the run-around and how it really did seem unfair why I was terminated. I wanted to let it go and he wanted to wage a war. I'm not an outwardly emotional person, and sadness and anger really just unsettle me.
That very same evening the friend who was home from the hospital was rushed back. Over the next few days we had to hear the news about the friend basically coming apart in the hospital and eventually passing away. From his fiancee, who was a wreck the whole time. Again, don't like emotional stuff. But I definitely sympathize with her so I wasn't going to avoid being there for her.
The funeral came and went just two days ago. I'm not big on funerals, and I really more went to support his fiancee and my roommate. They were closer to him. Funerals make me extremely uncomfortable, especially when I don't know anyone there. A lot of sobbing strangers. More emotions. I felt exceptionally awkward most of that day.
Today it seems one of our ferrets, Fershai, is struggling quite a bit just to go to the bathroom. He hasn't been able to go and he's rather uncomfortable and changing locations a lot. We're pretty sure he's gonna have to be put down before the evening is out.
And that's the last straw. Fuck the chaos of the universe bullshit. No one should have such consecutive bad luck. All I've wanted to do since I lost my job is fucking have a day where nothing bothers me. To enjoy drawing or playing a god damned video game with no concerns or obligations. But can I? No. Someone has to be fucking dying or pissed off or crying. It's just utter bullshit.
I'm not blaming others for being who they are, or for the problems they're having. I'm also not saying my problems are worse than theirs. Because they're obviously not. I'm just pissed. I've reached my limit for tolerating bad luck shit and I just want it to fucking stop. Now excuse me while I go check on our ferret.

It Is Time...
Posted 16 years agoSo, I guess it's time to clarify for those who were wondering, and for those who weren't, just let you know. I've shifted accounts. I no longer add much to Xyanth because my 'new' account is Weaselgrease. I just decided it was time to step away from Xyanth, since the name is really close to that book series, and since I've had the name since middle school. Weaselgrease will likely be my name from now on, and I'll be posting all of my more completed stuff there, while the sketchier things go to this account.
Also! I've got a UStream going now. You can view the info regarding it at it at http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/674079/
I guess all I have to do now is make a drawing more epic than Timon, To The Death! for my Weaselgrease account.

The Tale of Despereaux!
Posted 16 years agoJUST got back from this film.
Loved it.
Go see NOW.
...If you like rats and mice.
funnies ->
I'm just glad this movie was released to warn us of the long-standing terror of Soup.
For the longest time Soup has gone unnoticed by us as we toss it around so freely. But this movie brought all of its horrible truth to light. And I will now reflect on that truth.
1. Soup causes acid rain.
2. Soup causes holes in the O-Zone.
3. Soup creates Soup Monsters.
Please, PLEASE stop making Soup before it's too late.
end funnies. Sexual content?
Okay, so there's a point in the film that I THINK they were trying to imply that Despereaux and his brother were doing the 'not yet sleepy' thing that kids do these days, where they're not tired so they're goofing off and horsing around, and so dad comes barging in and gets mad. Well...It wasn't played quite right, and so the connotation that I picked up was dad barging in on an awkward exploration moment between the two brothers. Could just be me, but...
Bottom line, the movie IS worth it to the Rat and Mouse lovers out there. Anyone else may or may not appreciate it, but I did.

Posted 17 years agoSo, uhh, here's my Animal Crossing: City Folk info, for anyone who is bored with their game already. I have all of the different fruit types except Peaches. And I'm working toward getting a golden axe.

Town Name: Secarsi
I most often play at night between 11-12 pm and 4-6 am EST, depending on how tired I get from work. I have a pile of fruit next to my town entrance if anyone needs them.

I Can Has Internetz?
Posted 17 years agoApparently my modem started crapping out, so my connectivity got bad, worse, horrible, terrible, and then finally nonexistant. Called the ISP, they sent out a guy, he called before he came, let me know where he was and what he was doing, arrived exactly when he said he would--on the dot, had it fixed in under four minutes.
Dude rocks.
And I can has internetz!

Still Not Dead, Folks.
Posted 17 years agoI've been missing again, and I know it. A lot has been going on. Life, work, family, friends, website design work, being sick. I've been trying to handle it all. I've got a new image to upload but don't want to until I've finished it. I also still have to do work for two other people on here, and I want to get those officially done before I put anything else of my own interest up here.
Huey, if you read this my darling wonderful schnookieookums, email me or IM me or something! We should talk more! Because you're just that wonderful.

Pageview 7000!
Posted 17 years agoYep, Pageview 7000 is coming! ...Though you won't get anything special for it. But I'm impressed!
Aww. Huey Thinks I'm Dead.
Posted 17 years agoNah, not dead. Though I just did get over that freaking cold yesterday. I've doodled a thing or two but nothing worth uploading, honestly, besides a very light sketch of a beach scene. I've had an itch to do some website designing, and want to design a webpage with Timon as the page mascot, complete with a beachfront background, bamboo borders, healthy green foliage and a tiki hut somewhere. I love the tropics.
Anyway, I may work on that, but today (meaning since I woke up) I've been doing a serious webpage design I may actually build up to full, just for kicks. It'd be nice in case anyone suddenly commissioned me to design a site for them. Not likely, but hey.
I'll doodle something up and post it eventually, I promise. =)

#UPDATE#
To see what I did today... Go here! http://tixli.ath.cx:8080/
My ISP sucks 'cause they blocked port 80 on me. Bastards. Anyway, that's what I was doing all day. First time I've really touched into site design in some time. And I got a little tropical feel out of it. All in all, not a bad day.
The names at the bottom are fakes. I threw them in there as filler to decide how I wanted the styles to look. Later I'll make it actually function, so visitors can log in and leave notes, like the Shout feature on FA.

I'm Going To See Jeff Dunham!
Posted 17 years agoYep. He's awesome, and my roommate and I love stand-up comedians. We've seen Paula Poundstone, missed Margarette Cho (bought tickets but went a day late), and now we're going to see Jeff Dunham in Waterbury, CT tonight at 5 PM.
If anyone else is going, I'll admit I won't be looking for you, but you don't want to talk to me anyway. I've got the flu. ...And I would miss the show for that, but it's $80 a ticket, complements of my roommate's sister.
If you don't know who Jeff Dunham is, he's a comedian who has managed to bring ventriloquism back with a vengeance. Hop over to jeffdunham.com and have a look. Not a whole lot of his act is available to see, but you can get the idea.

Outstanding Requests
Posted 17 years agoThe requests from the 3000 thing I've yet to do are for...
-- Silverlonewolf
-- verm
-- Rockin-fox
But you can bet I'll get everyone's done! One of the requesters wants females, which is something I've never done, so it'll definitely be a learning experience.

You People And Your Requests...
Posted 17 years agoYea, you know who you are. I'm not dead, and I haven't forgotten you guys. I did realize, however, that I've jumped in over my head with the 3000 requests. Regardless, a deal is a deal, and I'm working on them. It's just going to take some time, and in the end it may not be /that/ great. As it is several of the requests call for realistic anatomy, and I suck at realism. Not much practice.
Anyway, I'm currently in the process of doing one that calls for Timon and another Meerkat. The requester knows who he is. I haven't done any sketches of the desired image yet, but I'm working up some face-designs for the other meerkat, and I'm going to see if he likes any of them.
I'm not doing the requests in any particular order. It goes based on a few criteria: Ease of drawing, internal inspiration, and personal interest. And that is what it sounds like. I'm going based on how much I want to draw it. However, that doesn't mean I'll never draw something I don't personally like. It simply means that it may take me longer.
Internal inspiration and personal interest are different. The inspiration part shines in the Zazu and Timon picture I drew. It looks awesome. And that's because I spent a long time thinking about how I wanted the scene to look when I wrote about it, and even more when I drew it. The image came to me on the first try because I'd thought about it so much. And it came out really well.
Anyway, I'm exceptionally tired, and only wanted to give an update. I'm going to eat my chili while I scan in the sketches of Meerkat heads I've drawn and link this guy to 'em so he can say if he likes any of them. Then I'm going to go to bed.

Update On The Requests...
Posted 17 years agoMy roommate's picture is inked and about to be colored. Yay. After that I get back to the requests for hitting 3000, and then drawing a non-furry friend of mine as a Ferret.
Who Wants To Design My Casket?
Posted 17 years ago'Cause my roommate is going to kill me. See here's why...
The other night he decided to show me an episode of the 2003 TMNT series, from the TMNT - Fast Forward cluster of episodes. Before you say anything, I am well aware how much the writing for these episodes sucks. But this is what happens when you sign over the merchandising rights and partial creative control for a perfectly good idea to a company that makes nothing but cheap plastic vehicles and their only interest in making action figures at all is so that they can go in the cheap plastic vehicles. Nice one, Playmates. Do everyone a favor and nullify your contract with Eastman and Laird so we can actually enjoy the cartoons as much as the comics, will ya? Not to mention so that they can work with some other company to make action figures that don't, y'know...SUCK.
Anyway, so he's showing me this episode to point out that the outfit Splinter is wearing to this classy public event looked like a Pimp outfit. Soon as I saw it I said 'That's not a pimp outfit..' As the episode droned on, I toyed with the idea of Splinter in a pimp outfit. I have the design stuck in my head, and it will be called 'SplintDaddy'. And it will be awesome. Even if I know he's going to murder me.
But don't worry, you 3000-pageviews-people. I haven't forgotten you guys. The drawing I'm doing for my roomie is finally done with sketch-mode, and I'm going to begin the pencil work tomorrow, then inking, and then coloring. After that, I will do each of the drawings for each of you guys, and then SplintDaddy.

Just A Quick Note To The Aspiring Artist...
Posted 17 years agoOne of my Christmas presents: A box of 36 Prismacolor Verithin colored pencils. They contain thinner leads that are harder than normal colored pencil leads.
Why am I mentioning this? BECAUSE THEY FREAKIN' ROCK. I had been using Crayola colored pencils so far, but these new ones I got are like drawing with liquid silk. The lines are crisp and narrow, and they just feel good to draw with, not to mention the leads seem to last a bit longer. I'm totally sold, even if they are $30 for the boxed 36.

What Am I Up To?
Posted 17 years agoI know some folks may be wondering when I'll get to their 2999-3001 requests. I've been putting a lot of effort into drawing something for my roommate, first. I promised him a drawing as my birthday present to him two months ago and still haven't done it yet, mostly because while I am getting better at drawing, when things get specific I start to have brain-blocks and then doubts.
Anyway, I've procrastinated long enough, so I'm going to hiatus the rest of the request drawings until I've done that for him. I may or may not upload it, depending on if he asks me not to. But I will let everyone know as soon as I've completed it.

HAHHAHAHAHA!
Posted 17 years agoI don't know why this is so funny, but I'm watching my icon as it's loaded on someone else's FA, and it's moving in perfect sync to the song 'Ain't No Party' from the Alvin and the Chipmunks soundtrack. I'm mesmerized. ...And stupid.
Page View 2961!
Posted 17 years agoHey, folks! I've got close to 3000 pageviews! Keep an eye on the number! If you're number 3000, print-screen it and show it to me and I'll draw, ink, and color something that you want! If you're 2999 or 3001, I'll draw you some sketches of whatever you want!
I Finally Got Meme'd...
Posted 18 years agoTagged by 
caribbeanfox...
1 - Post these rules
2 - Each person tagged must post 8 random facts about themselves
3 - Tags should write a journal of these facts
4 - At the end of the post 8 more peeps tagged and named
5 - Go to their page and leave a comment telling them they’ve been ‘tagged’
________________
1) I roleplay in a Furry Dungeons and Dragons environment with my roommate, where we frequently entertain each other with mass orgies involving both of our various fetishes, from vore, to feet, to extreme amounts of semen.
2) I was bet by a classmate in high school to eat a small purple pepper. The moment I bit into it my vision went blank for five full seconds because the shock to my mouth was so vivid that my other senses stopped working. The intensity of the pepper left me with a stomache ache for the rest of the day.
3) I don't lie if I can help it. And I have no problem telling the absolute truth to people, even when it can get me in trouble. I feel that I'm a much happier person than most people because of this philosophy, and there are no rumors about me shuffling around my workplace because I hide nothing.
4) I have a regular physical and sometimes emotional attraction to men that are shaped oddly or considered slow. Most often skinny, lanky guys with large noses and delayed or awkward social skills.
5) I have never broken a bone in my body, however I have come within 3/5 of an inch of death. When I was three and a half years old, my cousin's Alaskan Malamute clamped onto my face, ripping the flesh open. The doctor said that if it had bitten me 3/5 of an inch in any other direction, it most likely would have crushed my skull and taken the majority of my forehead off in its mouth. I received over 300 stitches venturing up into my hairline, my nose had to be sewn back into place, and my eyelid had to be replaced. And despite all of that, I don't look much like a Frankenstein.
6) I want to see a city where the Republicans write and enforce the laws and the Democrats do everything else.
7) I'm a hopelessly insatiable voyeur. I even like to hear people talk about when they do sexual things in public places.
8) Last I measured, my penis was 7.3 inches long, erect.

________________
1) I roleplay in a Furry Dungeons and Dragons environment with my roommate, where we frequently entertain each other with mass orgies involving both of our various fetishes, from vore, to feet, to extreme amounts of semen.
2) I was bet by a classmate in high school to eat a small purple pepper. The moment I bit into it my vision went blank for five full seconds because the shock to my mouth was so vivid that my other senses stopped working. The intensity of the pepper left me with a stomache ache for the rest of the day.
3) I don't lie if I can help it. And I have no problem telling the absolute truth to people, even when it can get me in trouble. I feel that I'm a much happier person than most people because of this philosophy, and there are no rumors about me shuffling around my workplace because I hide nothing.
4) I have a regular physical and sometimes emotional attraction to men that are shaped oddly or considered slow. Most often skinny, lanky guys with large noses and delayed or awkward social skills.
5) I have never broken a bone in my body, however I have come within 3/5 of an inch of death. When I was three and a half years old, my cousin's Alaskan Malamute clamped onto my face, ripping the flesh open.

salmacisreptileWacom vs. Tablet PC?
Posted 18 years agoYes, this is a common topic. What do you guys out there think? A wacom, or a tablet PC? Consider your handedness and how you write/draw, because for example, for me, a wacom tablet is extremely awkward to use. I'm left-handed, and I like to spin my paper around when I'm drawing on it. You can't really do that with a wacom tablet. Especially when it's a normal-screen wacom on a wide-screen computer.
Conventions, An Acquired Taste.
Posted 18 years agoYea, so I spent $20 to go to FurFright for Friday (today). Got there a little after five. Hung around for a while. Realized at 5:57 where the artists were. The artist 'room' closed at six. Not that there was much to look at. TaurinFox still selling the same DVD's of his movies and art that he has been for the last two years. Some guy trying to sell N64, NES, and Genesis games. Oh, and strategy guides to a handful of games that no one even plays anymore. Several good artists, though none I recognized in particular that I would want to actually talk to them about anything. People I most likely had nothing in common with as far as artwork and less in common with as far as interests. We stumbled across Uncle Kage there, per my roommate's pointing out. Didn't talk to him, though. I hardly know him or anything about him, and my roommate was too chicken. A little after six, my roommate and I had decided it was time to leave.
I learned some things. Furries are scary. Seriously, breaking it down, I think I saw roughly 80 people. Maybe 15 of them were women, 8 of which were very pretty. The rest were men and nearly all were, by my interests, unattractive. Some were down right frightful to look at or talk to. Imposing, clinging, socially awkward. From what I hear, the same things you see at every convention.
My roommate met one friend of his, named Quentin Coyote, who promptly blew him off nearly as soon as my roommate pointed out the fact that he was a friend. He didn't even take a look at me. Very nice of him.
Beyond that, there was nothing to do shy of stand around wondering what ends of the earth these people came from. ..And wondering who in the world would dress their eight-year-old child up in animal garb and take the kid to a furry convention.
Outside were the smoking furries, lighting up their next cigarette before they finish the first and arguing with each other, not about whether Windows Vista is better than Windows XP, but about what the worst thing is about Vista. They couldn't come to an agreement on if it was the fact that Vista didn't support most hardware or software, or that it couldn't even properly support other Microsoft products, like VB.NET.
I did have the minor amusement of watching furries try to get together to do things. Some folks out there like pictures of furries who are stoned. All you really need to do to get the same feel at a convention is observe when someone declares an outting for food. It's similar, only there's a lot more running around. I remember seeing four different clusters of people trying rather fitfully to get a posse together to head out into the town. Only to realize that they don't have enough car space, or to realize that the 'person with the money' isn't around anymore because they got sick of waiting.
Ultimately, I learned that the only reasons to go are to buy artwork, sell artwork, meet friends you know online, or be a staff member. I did none of these, so it was a waste of $20 for me. I won't be going tomorrow or Sunday because I work both days. Not that I would want to spend $25 or even $15 to see it again.

Is It Necessary?
Posted 18 years agoI'm just curious. Is the custom that we say thanks for the fav(s) each time, once in a while, or only once per person? 'Cause y'know, it's really tough to say thanks to 20 different people. Especially when the site is slow.
Music
Posted 18 years agoI listen to music. I don't listen to artists. What I mean with that is I don't listen to songs for the source or the genre, but for what they do to me.
A song needs to accomplish one of three things. It needs to touch my soul, it needs to make me want to dance, or it needs to make me want to draw. If it accomplishes none of these, I don't need that song. Funny songs (songs with jokes for lyrics) to me aren't songs. They're comedy in musical form.
So, when it comes to music, I will listen to anything that can do one of those three things. Examples of songs that do each of these..
Songs that touch my soul:
B-Tribe's Las Salinas
Crystal Method's Comin' Back
Fugees' Killing Me Softly
Garbage's #1 Crush
Gnarles Barkley's Crazy
Gorillaz's Latin Simone (English version)
Jewel's Foolish Games
Lifehouse's Somewhere In Between
Michael Andrews' Mad World
Pink's Dear Mister President
Songs that make me want to dance:
Galvanized by the Chemical Brothers
Christina Aguilera's remake of Candyman
Darude's The Flow
Deborah Cox's remake of Absolutely Not
Groove Armada's I See You Baby
JC Chasez's Blowin' Me Up
Lou Bega's Mambo No. 5
Ludacris' What's Your Fantasy
Madison Avenue's Don't Call Me Baby
Missy Elliott's Work It
Moloko's Fun For Me
Shaggy's Boombastic
Songs that make me want to draw:
Dope Smugglaz's The Word
E.S. Posthumus' Pompei (I edited this one so that it cycles for 10 minutes and getting progressively faster)
Oliver Shanti's Onon Mweng (Rainbird)
Rihanna's Umbrella
Royksopp's Remind Me
Sheryl Crowe's All I Wanna Do Is Have Some Fun
Sister Machine Gun's Burn
Sneaker Pimps' Lightning Field
Wheatus' Teenage Dirtbag
Songs that do two or three at once:
Happy To Be Hardcore's Eye Opener
India Arie's I'm Not Your Average Girl
Jem's They
Jimmy Eat World's Pain
Joi's Lick
Mariah Carey's All I Want For Christmas Is You
Nelly Furtado & Timbaland's Promiscuous Girl
Smashing Pumpkins' The Beginning Is The End Is The Beginning
Now, I didn't make this list so folks could go out and download these songs. I just wanted to show that my interest in music isn't limited by genre or flavor. I have everything from heavy metal to rap to R&B, even some older stuff like Shaggy. And these are just examples. There's a lot I didn't touch on, like the fact that I like a lot of songs from Evanescence, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, and Smashmouth..
Point is I listen to the songs for the feeling they give me, or the creative water they flow through me. I could give a rat's ass if a song is made by Britney Speares (I like Toxic and Everytime), focus groups like N-Sync, or sell-outs like Metallica. If I like it for what it is, I'm keeping it.
I kinda get tired of people pulling politics or reputation over music or entertainment. My roommate does it a lot. He refuses to watch a Tom Cruise movie just because Cruise went insane with his religion recently. He hates Britney Speares' music because of how she was represented as an artist. Forget the fact that some of her songs sound good. And he's hardly the first person to do it. Just like all the people in the world who immediately threw out all of the Speares CD's just because she married Kevin Federline.
Fuck what happens to them outside of their music or movies. I really don't give a flying fuck about their parenting skills or their relationships. Matter of fact, I'd expect them to be sorry-ass parents because most of them had parents that would beat them for performing poorly at their school plays or something similar. The chances are that with everything they have to go through in their life, the appreciation they do get for their accomplishments is barely any help for the absolutely back-ass-wards mental twisting they go through from everyone around them. And so I won't let it have any impact on how I feel about the things they've made that I do appreciate.
Anyone would think that being a beaten wife is how life is supposed to be, if they were raised by parents who did that all the time. Trust me, when I was sixteen I actually had to explain to a 23-year-old woman that you shouldn't be getting into fights with your husband, especially not ones that involve the use of fryingpans and ironing boards. She actually believed that's how it was supposed to be.
They do it with movies, too. This movie has practically invisible Christian overtones that I wouldn't even be aware of had I not researched it, so I can't like it as much.
And the same way, if a person in entertainment happens to promote or support something, people immediately say they love that person's material, even if they suck ass, just because of the fact. Cher is a good example. Don't get me wrong, I like some of Cher's music, and I think she is a splendid person. But because she supports homosexuality (her daughter is gay), people out there who are gay or pro-gay scream about how everything Cher has ever done is the best music they've ever heard. They like things that even Cher has said she didn't like doing, and it really has nothing to do with the work or its quality, but who made it. How about enjoying something for what it is and not for who?
Anyway, off the rant circle, this is my latest post. And it's about music.

FurFright, Anyone?
Posted 18 years agoYes, of my stalkers out there in the world, who shall be attending FurFright? This may have an impact on if I go. I will only be going on Friday, because I have to work the Saturday and Sunday it'll be on.
Want To See My Latest Drawings?
Posted 18 years agoSo, I have been drawing n'stuff lately. Just haven't posted any of it. You guys wanna see? Lemme hear you say something corny, like 'Hells yea!' or 'In Da Hizzay!' or 'You can't hug your children with nuclear arms!' or You're such a breath of fresh air!' or 'First Comment!' ...You get the idea. Sacrifice a life-long endeavor for the development of your social reputation for a split second of amusement! You know you want to. =D
