Went to check my schedule today at work, and this guy said that
the schedule wasn't ready.

He then said that they was calling me for work for yesterday and today.

I immediately called him out for being a liar.

Just because he was working on a weekend doesn't mean I have to.

Especially when I am not slotted to do so, and that putz made up a lie to do so.

Got hired at a burger place.

Have been employed for three weeks now.

Sorry if I hadn't been making any reply for some time.

I got hired by my old job, and this time, it's
under new management!

Monday, I have jury duty.

Wish I can get out of that...

Haven't been drawing lately... been busy trying to help
my mom.

I'm okay, too.

Great Galloping Gobs of Goose Grease!

I finally learned how to make my stories into PDFs!

Is it wrong of me to keep certain art pics in a forum and
give it the "Las Vegas-Treatment" as in "what happens there,
stays there"?

I am honestly not to proud of the pics that I have done
for a nearly-cold forum I frequent, and certain pics that
I've done would get me vilified and condemned by those
who LOOK for shit to shame artists for.

Not to mention certain parties who actively LINK said pics
to their posts.

So... should I give certain pics that "Las Vegas-Treatment"
and keep them ghettoed there or should I stop drawing
such pics altogether?

I'm having trouble getting my own creative juices flowing, so, I am
asking everybody:

What inspires you to do artwork and writing and other things?

Today, I got my Zyprexa back.

Now I can officially say I am glad that I
have control on my own health.

And I have to exercise all the same, too.

I was given Invega Sustenna back in March to replace my Zyprexa,
but those injections are playing hell on my body and mind.

I'm restless, fidgety, can't take a nap or go to sleep without being
so restless. Either that or have nightmares that make horror movies
seem tame as birthday parties.

I want to get back on my old meds, and that says a lot.

If you were in my shoes.

Yahoo might as well shut down and restart its email system.

It's a lost cause.

Oh... and LAN Messenger works fine.

I know everyone has moved on since AIM has become a memory...

... But are there any IMs worth using?

Discord doesn't support Windows XP, and I may have to test an IM
like LAN Messenger from https://sourceforge.net/projects/lanmsngr/
to see how that flies.

Any suggestions?

Signed up to Access from AT&T three weeks prior.

When I got it, there was something wrong with the line.

Today, when the tech came to work on it had fixed it, I got 'net.

But mom and I lost the telephone because it was through another provider.

More trouble than it was worth.

We should have gotten Spectrum.

Damn.

On September 18, 2017 at 6:00 pm, my aunt of 83 passed away.

However, to all of the furs on the Eastern seaboard:

Those staying, stay safe, and keep your cell phones charged.

Those running to safety, Stay safe.

I cannot emphasize the enough.

See this link?

This is one link that you HAVE to go to protect our
Fur Affinity from The Powers That Be.

HERE'S THE FACTS (word for word):

The FCC's 2015 Open Internet Order was a huge victory for Internet users. Thanks to the millions of you who spoke up for a free and open Internet, we won essential net neutrality protections.

Now those protections could disappear, as Chairman Pai is considering reversing the Open Internet Order and handing control over the Internet to major telecommunications companies.

In place of the clear rules established by the FCC's Open Internet Order, Pai wants to substitute voluntary industry promises to uphold some net neutrality principles. We need to let Congress know that we won’t trade real protections for empty promises.

Here's my opinion:

The reason why the lawmakers want that sopa/pipa/whatever-the-hell it is for the
to wipe out the FCC's the Open Internet away and the Cbig telecoms to take it all
away from the citizens?

1. To further the cause of surveillence over those parties that AREN'T terrorists;

2. To go Big Brother on those bloggers who truly DO have issues with those in power;

3. To run roughshod on ANY religions and religious organizations that THEY deem dangerous;

4. Greedy corporations, Hollywood, and Disney can harvest all of the free
creative content that people made because THEY'VE become all-consuming greedy
enough to steal, and plagerize everyone else's works, sit on it like Adobe did
with Macromedia's Freehand program, and THEN they'd play themselves off as that
blue-haired lawyer on the Simpsons who slaps a cease-and-desist order on those
who DO create their own content.

Because it's all about the Benjamins, along with everything else in that
whole ball of wax.


So, do your part to keep the net free!

Seriously, those ISPs would block it from you.

And NO, this NOT a scare tactic.

(From my aunt's house...)

Saturday is when I have to do so.


Shit... did time fly or what? :-\

Started doing two pics for  hept ,,,

Oh, and  telbert ... thank you for for commissioning me!

The price of my commission will be as stated:

$10 for a picture drawn and inked in black and white on
8 x 11" card stock. It will be scanned, posted, and sent
to the commissioner.

Must be G to PG because the mail carriers tend to peek
in on people's packages.

I have someone ahead on the order, and I will check he
for orders.

Limit is five customer orders at a time.

...I need to generate some income by selling commissions.

Problem is... what amount to charge people for?

There lies the rub.

All I can offer is black-and-white pencil and ink.

I'm being reasonable, but don't want to get greedy, and I am going to do
G - PG artwork to send through the mail.

Any suggestions?

When I got back online today, I had found out too late that Albert Temple
AKA Gene Catlow had died on March 9th...

Excuse my tears, everybody... I was literally the last to know of Gene's passing.

Just a little notice to say "Hi."

I hope things get back in the swing of things soon.

Despite what happened IRL.

:)

It started last night when my mom thought the
arch in her left foot had given way.

It turned out it was a case of gout.

It was after mom came home and she was resting
when my brother went to my room and started in with
questions about my room, accusing me living like a
homeless man in his mom's apartment.

He then started raising Cain about the EVERYTHING.

And it wasn't just about my room, too. He said I was a hoarder.

Then it got WORSE.

He saw some of the art work I did for here and other
places, and when ballistic, telling me that if I kept
drawing this, I would be facing the same kind of shit
that I was facing charges of those who possessed child porn.

I remember what happened to the artist of Black Tapestries
and the hell he caught in Florida.

So I was forced to throw out EVERY art picture, cartoon, and
comic that I did, along with a few other things.

And if that wasn't enough, he started in on my having almost
a dozen flash drives.

Every answer I tried to give, was met as much contempt as it
was inexcusable in his opinion.

I was lucky he didn't get the chance to go through my computer.

Now not only I have to start anew, but I have nothing to
look back on.

Though it felt goon to be rid of some things, I miss the art
work I had been prepping for my comic.

If you saw the commercial about the Pepto-Copter or anything like that,
you'd say, "What the FUCK"?!
