Soo.. this new dA version is pretty awesome, don't you think? I truly love it. Change is good sometimes. Remembering way back when I first joined and you couldn't even preview your friend's deviants. Of course that was before I had a subscription. Point is, things have come a long way. I don't complain much.

I was promised a Llama if I featured this group in my journal:



They need more members I think so if your interested you should join. Any type of artwork is accepted I do believe. #Acknowledge-Me-2

Epic fan artwork for my favorite show:


Please tell me how your doing, everyone.
I feel disconnected.

Hello everyone!! My mood has been pretty joyous lately. I hope everyone is doing good, and having a Happy Easter!

I got some new things for my camera, and I've been having a lot of fun playing with them. Look forward to seeing more tiny objects, because macro is becoming really fun for me.

I hope you all like my newest submissions, I hope to get out there more this summer. My camera actually got a little dusty this winter, it's not going to happen again.

Decided to change my icon to one of the April Fools ones because I liked it. It was the one I wanted and didn't get.

Also.. Llama badges, genius.

Give me Team Seeker icon NOW!!! I demand it!

ITS NOT FAIR!!

Well at least I know where my heart really belongs.

For those of you who have asked in my recent poll.





Shadow Fiend Chapter 1
It has been said by many that our world is a battle field. Not with just humans either, I'm talking about things. Things a lot of us refuse to believe are real, things we tell our child that aren't real. But, what if evil was lurking out at our own feet and we didn't even know it? What if the human race is slowly getting killed off and we didn't even know it?
What if everything that lurked in the dark was real? What if the final days were between man and beasts?

Shadow Fiend

I'm just a normal guy, working on cars for a living. Probably one of the best damn mechanics around this whole town. Lately things have been strange around he Other Half"No, no get out of my head!"
"Come on, it wasn't that bad was it?"
"Couldn't you have washed off the blood before I went back to normal."
"Look, if it makes you feel any better, she wasn't that bad. She only screamed a little, but you should have been there. It was great ripping her flesh open, watching the blood run like an on going stream."
"ARRR!"
I screamed, while I held both sides of my head. I managed to stumble my way in the bathroom while holding my head. Once I was in there, I found myself at the sink. I turned the sink on and began to wash the blood off myself.
"This won't happen again, I'm done."

"Well, I guess that's it. Looks like this is a whole new start for us." I said, crossing my arms, looking back at our old house.

You're all lovely.

Edit, we lost him. I'm completely devastated and horrified by the whole experience. He was doing better and then poof, he's gone. We don't don't know why, we may never really know. Like I said before, I wasn't ready to say goodbye and I'm still not. Sadness overwhelms me.

Just a quick update to let you know that I've been pretty busy lately with my new job. I'm a receptionist at a tax office.

We almost lost our dog Toby and that was tearing me up for a while, but he's home now and coping. We have some hope. I wasn't ready to say goodbye, especially to someone who's been in my life for so long. I hold a special place in my heart for him, these last couple days have shown that to me. Dogs have a way of doing that to you. Graycee was worried too.. her buddy wasn't around.

Also, about the watcher feature poll I'll get to that as soon as I can. I got more votes than comments so if you want featured please comment on it or I won't know if you want a feature or not.

Hello fellow deviant artists! This year's resolution for me this year is a simple one: BE INSPIRED! That includes my photography, my relationship, my happiness. I need to stop worrying about things, and just live. Life is too short, and it's precious.

On that note, I bought a new lens from Lensbaby that hopefully will get me to try new things and just have fun with taking pictures. If your wondering, it's the Muse.

OH my hunny and I have set a wedding date for June 4th, 2011. Plenty of time for planning but there is a lot that goes into a big wedding.



I love you baby.

As the new year approaches I think of all the awesome and terrible things that has happened this year. I would like to think of the new year as a way for a fresh start, I'd like to just erase all the bad. I've accomplished some of my resolutions but a few got left behind, but I'll just write them down for next year.

This year I got engaged(pretty much my highlight), graduated from high school, discovered more of myself, lost contact with friends, discovered Legend of the Seeker (hehe), got my drivers license, a certain family member disappointed me (again), pretty much became a depressed hermit, and more. What about you?

Next year I plan on a lot of great things. First spending time with friends and family, then going to see Avatar in 3D on Sunday... then ending with starting my first year of college.

I hope you all have a Happy New Year, and I mean for the entire year, not just the holiday.

For the love of my new favorite movie:

Pretty stressed out right now do to some challenging things going on in my life right now. It seems as if things start to get semi better and I get hit with something. For example, kidney stones. I manage to avoid getting the swine flu, even with people getting it all around me but of course being healthy just isn't allowed for me. Especially when I have no health insurance! SO I'm expecting a $1000+ bill from the hospital any day now. I had some troubles with Avon but I think I cleared that one up, I just now have impatient costumers waiting for their orders. I haven't gotten any photography jobs which seriously bums me out because I actually enjoy doing that.

I haven't been active at all in any of my clubs I've joined here on dA and I think that's why I haven't received as many views/comments on any of my work lately. I'm going to try to go back to submitting and being apart of the clubs I enjoyed before. A lot of them have quit so I have to go and sort through them to see which ones are still going.

Well I think that's pretty much it for now. I hope everyone is doing okay and I'm sorry for being lame and not being as active as before, I'm going to start trying now.

Avon lady here!

If your interested in buying something here is my avon website:

Every purchase is greatly appreciated!

I can't sleep so I thought I'd make a journal.

Going to go see Shinedown and Chevelle in concert tomorrow. I'm pretty excited because I haven't been to one in a year or more.

You want to know something that really grinds my gears? Webcam "photographers" on deviantart. These are the people that post nude shots of themselves just for the attention. I think they've mistaken deviantart for a dating site or something. You know what I mean? I'm really NOT trying to be mean...

ANYWAYS

I've been a worry wart recently to just about everyone I love. I want to apologize if I seem pushy to these people but I REALLY don't want to lose them. Maybe recent activities in today's world has turned me into a worried health nut. I know this isn't any way for one to live, seeing as life is short and all.

My best friend took mine and Cody's engagement pictures for us.





Go give her some love because she's going through a rough time. She's living with me right now and I like seeing her smile.

Just a number, but I really appreciate the support you all have given me.

Everyone has been so nice to me here and that always inspires me to take more pictures and to get better. I have the best watchers ever!

My most popular photograph is "You Hold My Heart" with 47 comments, 137 favorites, and 1,806 views! Not to mention the 700+ downloads. I'm so grateful you like it!


Here is a couple features by artists I found that I feel need more love:

I finally got to uploading some pictures today, I hope you like them. I'm kind of confused at this point with what I want to do with my life. I know I want to do photography but getting there is the hard part. I have a birthday to do in September and a wedding to do in April but that's all. I'd like to buy a better camera but I can't afford it. I've been looking for a job but that is very difficult in my area right now. Hopefully I'll find one soon. I can't afford my car insurance and I have no health insurance currently. I'm going to sign up for a medical card though soon.. we'll see.

Growing up is rough.

On the good side though, I'm healthy and have people that love me and want to help me.

My very good friend has just joined deviantART. Please welcome her!



She's got lovely cakes in her gallery that she has made (and they taste very yummy too..) so go check them out!

Thanks!

In other news I'm doing just great, how are you all? I wish I had more time to spend on here like I used to. I miss everybody! DeviantArt is like home.

I'm going to Cedar Point [link] (Sandusky, Oh) tomorrow and coming back on Wednesday night! I'm so excited! They are calling for scattered thunderstorms so I'm a little worried. My favorite ride there is Top Thrill Dragster. I'm hoping I can convince my fiance to ride it with me.

Anyways I hope you guys are having a nice summer (or winter) where ever you are!
