FunkyFist's Journal Type Thing

[Lord FunkyHoof]

Well I've been here for over a year (Are Woots called in order for this?) and I've come to realize something: I don't really know a lot of people on here, nor do they know me that well. So as a part of getting a little more social 'round here, I thought I'd try something.

So here I am, opening my own thread (like some members already have) sharing my thoughts, tidbits of life and of course, everyone else is open to adding their 2 Cents along with mine. Sure I can do that on MySpace, but everyone there pretty much arleady knows me. Plus there'll be pictures too, 'cause I can!

So where do I start? The past week or so has been a doozy, my Chihuaha dog had her third litter of puppies, two white girls and one black boy. Unfortunately, one of them passed, and since I was the only one home at the time, I was the one who gave it the burial It's a shame when stuff like this happens, you think you'd get used to things like that, but you never do. But that's how nature is, having pets teaches you alot about life and other things. The other two aren't presenting any health problems or anything, they move around, cry, eat, y'know, puppy things, so I'm not worried about them.

We also started to renovate our house, the plans have been there for a while but it was recently that my parents has had the time (and money) to begin it. I helped my dad set some cement for some stairs for the new door, we're gonna extend one of our rooms and the whole front porch is gonna go, fortunately it's my room that's getting extended. FINALLY, now I'm gonna have some more space! Some guys were also supposed to come and rewire a few things, I don't know how long this is gonna take, but let's just hope nothing Steve Urkel-esque happens, like our TV going through the ceiling somehow. Though that'd be awesome to see, which will be led by hundreds of rats pouring out of the hole in the roof like in The Mummy. Hey it could happen!

There's also been some weird @ss dreams, some involving Mafia-related shootings and stuff, and I can distinctly remember none other than the RS.net message board making an appearance, I'm not sure how that got tied into it...

Other than that, I've been re-playing through Final Fantasy XII and working on a few other art-related things, until the next time I update this, take care everyone!

That's right! I'm back! ...Sort of. Well the renovations are going nice and smooth, when we started I had the honor of knocking down our old wall with a hammer. Boy lemme tell ya, nothing relieves stress better than tearing off chunks of Sheet Rock and pounding into it. But dammit, that wall got it's revengs on me later on when I was laying myself down to sleep. Just as I was adjusting the curtains and closing my eyes, a small piece of AWOL Sheet Rock comes down and goes into my right eye! BAM! Instant discomfort! Not a big deal you say? That bugger was small enough to go into my eye, but big enough to make my eye sting everytime I moved it. So I spent the next hour or so trying to get the damned thing out, using a wet piece of paper, gauze, rubbing it profusely, spraying water right into it and even using my own finger to get the thing out. This thing was hell-bent on staying in my lids and the eye's surface, I even let myself cry for a while with the hopes that it'll drain out, but alas, no luck. And keep in mind this was happening at 2 O'Clock in the Morning!

Eventually it came out in pieces, but I could feel one small piece still inside, but it was small enough to not be a bother, so I went asleep. The next day I woke up with those eye crusties around the corner of my eye, sure enough it was gone, but it left my eye red and swollen for a good day. Other than that everything's been going okay, nothing to complain about so that's good. I'm only computer accessible for a while until they continue and I have to disconnect everything again. So I guess I'll look around and try to catch up with what's been going on.

Catch ya'll later!

...fanart, that is.

The world has enough fanartists, one going off the radar won't affect it I'm sure.

There's so many great KP artists out there it's almost discouraging to even try anymore, but that's not the sole reason for this forcoming. Even though I liked doing some KP Sketches, I just felt like the motivation for me doing it is so I can gain some attention, but it's clear to me that I'll never make a name for myself in the KP Fanworld, and with the new talent in that same community sprouting out everyday I don't seem to stand a chance.

Sometimes I wonder if my fanart is the only reason most of my watchers on DA, well, watch me. Sometimes it feels like the only way to get some notice around DeviantArt is by doing fanart of some sort, but there's the few who have the natural raw tallent that can gain attention no matter what they do. I want to focus on my original ideas, and if I get no responses from those on DA, well, then maybe I'm not meant to be on there...

But I'm not saying I'm completely halting any KP fanart, just slow down and do some if I ever get a good idea, rather than doing it nonsenselessly.

But this board is too interesting for me to just give up on like most other ones I've been on, so there's little chance for me leaving. I got some walls to go and put up.

Boy it seems I'm not gonna be computer accessible for quite a while, gonna have to rely on hijacking my sister's computer whenever she's not using it, and even then it usually lasts no more than Ten Minutes, giving me just barely enough time to check up on my Deviant Art Account. Ergo, I haven't had any time to check up on here.

The last couple of weeks have been hard, but it's been mostly emotionally. I don't really wanna say 'Depressed', if that's spelled correctly, but I certainly have been really upset about how things are going in my neck of the woods, sometimes ending with a brief crying moment.

Sometimes I kinda feel like I have no one to share my feelings with, my friends are infact good people, but they really aren't the kind of guys I could go to in emotional moments like this. Not because they're guys, nothing to do with that, but I've had experiences with trying to have serious moments with them but instead they don't take it seriously and just dismiss it somehow, or just simply make a few crude remarks and make everything feel worse.

And my family have enough on their minds without me coming with a few troubled moments, call me crazy but I never liked telling people that something was wrong with me, because I didn't want to interfere with their personal lives.

I've been drawing more, but the more I do it the more I realize how inexperienced I really am, and so many other thoughts on the subject start flooding into my head and I begin to question things. But all I can really do is keep going and hope that I'll succeed with my choices.

Take care everyone.

So now everything's almost finished with our rooms, we've already swapped rooms and everything, now all that's left is to move in our respective belongings and finally settle in. The arrangment's nice and all, I'm back in my old room that I had for the majority of my childhood. But all the grunt work and hammering is done, thank god for that.

And my B-day is also coming up in 15 days, am I excited? Well I'm turning 21, being officially old enough to drink, smoke, drive, vote, rent a XXX Video, gamble and get a lapdance, ALL at the same time if I wanted to! Now there's a an image. But I won't drink, I'm already addicted to Lipton Iced Tea, Grape Drink and Strawberry Milk, I don't wanna add a Whiskey and Tonic to that list. But to answer that question, I'm not all that too excited, just now I'll be able to do more things if I ever do go back to Vegas.

But I always see my birthdays as Christmas, I don't really expect anything, but if I do, then that's nice. It's especially true for this case, since my parents spent a lot of money renovating our rooms and my sisters bought new furniture for their now new room, so I'm not really expecting much.

I think I still want to continue with KP Fanart, the only thing I really want to do is keep going with my KP Pixel Art, that's the only thing I have that makes my stuff stand out from others, so I think I'm gonna go with that.

Well take care everyone!
