Happy Brithday, Zids!
Posted 10 years agoGo give this beautiful 'roo some birthday wishes because he deserves them.
Fave-and-Running - Does it bother people here too?
Posted 10 years agoSo, I remember back when I browsed Deviantart loosely for extra pieces of art that didn't exist here on F.A (mainly because I didn't know about it), people often complained about "fave-and-runners" who just added something to their favorites and ran off without leaving a comment or any other form of support.
Is that something that bothers people on F.A a lot as well? 'Cause tbh it doesn't bother me much, but I just wanted others' opinions.Zids and the ER: Help pay his Medical Bill!
Posted 10 years agoArt Therapy with Dustin Ray
Posted 10 years agoIf you think your art is bad, go ahead and do the following.
Compare your latest piece of art with a drawing you did when you were a small child.
Trust me, when you do, you'll feel a lot better about yourself.
(I would also mention a certain fur, but then I'd get in trouble with the TSA admins. X3)Dustin Ray is Ice Bear
Posted 10 years agoI have taken to the idea of roleplaying as Ice Bear from "We Bare Bears" over on my Skype and replying to messages with "Ice Bear..."
This should be some good, silly fun. ^.=.^
Also, always remember you can add me on Skype at d.mann.88
Just lemme know who you are, or Ice Bear will be confused. $2 for Fetish Art!! (Boost)

fuzzynightmareI love my Dad. XD
Posted 10 years agoSo, my Dad, much like me, is an Agnostic Christian. Yet, unlike me, he is judgmental and is rather anti-gay.
Yet, today, he does two things that make me question his heterosexual nature.
1: He stares at a still frame of a man's dick in the last scene of "Fight Club" cackling like a super villain
2: He states that he likes Boy George more than Rob Halford because "he prefers transvestites over gay bikers."
Omfg I love my Dad. XD
(Also I'm super hype for the upcoming Culture Club concert in Miami. :D)

>.///.>I'm Perfectly OK - Here's What's Gonna Happen
Posted 10 years agoHey, everybody. I just wanted to let you guys know that I'm perfectly fine. Yesterday was another one of those bad days in which one little tiny thing set me off, and I looked too deeply into myself, which did leave me with a little bit of a discovery (as most of you have seen), and so I'm just going to go ahead and let you guys know what I'll be doing. I am going to make some changes in my life, and in the process you may be seeing more submissions from me.
#1 - Mental Stimulation:
Plain and simple, I'm simply not doing much of anything these days. After a holiday in which my mind was stimulated by a lot of things, coming back to a lifestyle in which I sit around the house and do little to nothing all day long simply is the reason in which I'm being driven to depression and cabin fever. During my brief holiday I managed to learn that simply keeping my mind stimulated keeps me sane, and having gone swimming so much, trying new foods, playing games, and keeping my mind active and open to anything is what keeps me happy. Last night, after my freak out, I went to the store with my Mom to get things for dinner (we had delicious tacos), and simply standing at the kitchen counter listening to the radio as I chop up peppers, an onion and a tomato was not only the most relaxing thing in the world, but it stimulated my emotions and made me feel deeply happy, something that I complained I hadn't been feeling, like, ever. So, basically what I'm going to do is simply do more things.
What does this mean for you guys? More artwork, more stories, and more submissions! Yesterday, I had a lot of fun practicing drawing cocks, and seeing as how I'm getting the motivation to draw adult artwork, you guys will be seeing more submissions from me that are most likely going to be of the mature and adult variety. Even if it makes me lose or gain a few watchers, this is perfectly ok with me, as it keeps my mind stimulated, and it makes me feel more accomplished.
#2 - Baby Steps for Weight Loss:
Like a certain actor recently said this year, I'm going to "JUST DO IT!!!"
I can't just wish my weight away, so I'm going to begin taking small baby steps to rid myself of my weight. For example, I'm going to pay more attention to serving size; I'll simply eat the recommended serving size, and if I'm still hungry afterward, I'll find something else to eat, and only eat the recommended amount that is shown on the container. I'm also cutting out soda, candy, pop tarts, and anything that counts as sweets, for sugar is my biggest offender when it comes to putting on weight. My Mom cut out sugar from her diet, and now she actually has an hourglass figure. (Then again she delivers auto parts for a living so she's constantly running around and lifting parts, so I guess that helps. XD)
Exercise is also a massive factor, but I obviously won't find myself doing crunches or push ups, so brief walks and maybe even riding my bicycle will do. Again, I don't need to do a huge amount of weight lifting and dieting, but simple things like that can get me on the right track, and at this point it's all about getting on the right track.
#3 - Seeking Help:
It's obvious, I need a doctor or two. I need to seek professional help from both my psychiatrist, and maybe enlist the help of a therapist, much like the ones I've seen in the past. Simply talking to them and taking advice from them could possibly help me out. I also should see a physician or something to see if they can give me some pointers. Again, all the help that I can get is appreciated, and much like I said before, at this point, all I need to do is get on the right track.
I don't really have much more to say other than that. So, uh, that's where I stand.
All I can say is that I love all of you, and everything that you guys do for me brightens up my world and completes me. You guys are the best.Finding my Core & The Root of All Evils
Posted 10 years agoI've made a breakthrough with the help of some of my buddies on Skype.
For many, many years I have questioned why I struggle with anger issues. It never made much sense to me where all this anger was coming from, and why I struggled with all this reckless behavior and how I couldn't control it. However, in light of my previous journal, I was finally able to dig deep and find the root of the issue. Deep within my core, there was a flaw within me that I never knew was there, but is now so obvious to me, I don't know how I didn't see it before.
I have chronic depression.
The anger, the sadness, the lack of motivation or energy, the dulling and muting of my senses and emotions, the stand-still that I feel within my life, the pains within my body, this veil of stress and weight upon my soul, it's all because of depression. It's nothing I can help, as high as my esteem may be, and as many leaps and bounds as I've made, I've been steered in the wrong direction, and it is now that I know what I need to fix.
I couldn't have done it without you guys, and for this I say thank you. I love all of you.I'm not quite who I used to be...
Posted 10 years agoSome would say that's a good thing, but in my eyes...it's a bad thing.
I've lost a lot of my good qualities from when I was younger. I don't know why, but I feel like I've lost something within me. My senses are lowered, and things that I used to deeply enjoy now just feel like everything else. I feel deprived of feelings, I can't enjoy things as much as I used to, and every day tasks are a chore, a laborous task in which I have to move about and put more stress on my body.
I don't know what it is. Perhaps it's my weight, perhaps it's my medication, I don't know why, but all my senses are lowered. I don't feel like the same person, everything seems so bland in my life, except for the things I see on my TV. Some people just seem to have cooler things, and I just feel dull, lifeless, and like I said, I feel sensually deprived. The only thing that truly feels good to me is an orgasm, but that only lasts gor so long before I'm back to my bland, lifeless feelings. I don't know what it is, but it's deeply bothering me.
People want me to gain weight, and while it sounds like a great idea, I don't feel comfortable even at the size I am. I want to make attempts to lose my weight but I don't know where to begin. On top of all that, because my metabolism is so low, I can't lose weight so easily, and it's going to be a fucking nightmare just to get all this fucking weight off my body. So what do I do? Keep gaining weight and be uncomfortable, or spend tons of money on a gym and a dieting program that might not even work for me?
I'm so upset right now I don't know what to do... WEATHER ADVISORY: PREPARE FOR DICKS
Posted 10 years agoI'm gonna practice drawing some cocks. >.///.>
Let's see how this turns out. Dustin Bach is Now DUSTIN RAY!
Posted 10 years agoI'm renaming my fursona, Dustin Bach is now going to be known as Dustin RAY, which is actually my first and middle name irl.On this day in 1997...
Posted 10 years agoI hatched out of an egg, and so I was born.
Happy 18th hatchday to me!
Now expect to see a lot of naughty stuff in my faves very soon. :PTomorrow is my Birthday (I'LL BE EIGHTEEN!)
Posted 10 years agoTo those of you on Skype who are getting notfications that today (July 31st) isy birthday, sorry for the confusion. I still got a day left to go...
...and then...
A MASSIVE FLOOD OF PORN WILL FLOOD MY FAVORITES GALLERY.
.3.
Most likely...We Bare Bears - I LOVE THIS SHOW
Posted 10 years agoA new Cartoon Network show that's good? Surprising, right? X3
Actually, this show is super good, and the characters are super cute, especially the Panda. The scenarios are fairly relatable and they're all really funny. I really like the animation, too. It's pretty reminiscent of Adventure Time's animation, but with more fast-paced sequences, which I also really like. To top it all off, unlike most Cartoon Network shows these days, it has some decent moral value.
So, overall, We Bare Bears is a good ahow. Please, watch it. :DMeep! (F5)
Posted 10 years agoOk, so yeah...you can see my new avatar, but apparently my :icon: feature is broken.

~dustin~TMI Tuesday: Birthday Edition
Posted 10 years agoWith my birthday comingg up this Saturday, I figured this TMI Tuesday should be related to my upcoming 18th. :3
Hopefully this isn't too egotistical. XD

Teen Titans Go! - Thoughts?
Posted 10 years agoIt's a piece of shit, but it has certain appeal.
I especially like Raven. ^.=.^
Also, the reason I'm posting journals about this is because I'm kinda forced to watch cartoons with A.J when we go to bed.
Oh, and I promise my brony buddies I WILL WATCH MY LITTLE PONY EVENTUALLY. Sonic Boom is weird. o.o
Posted 10 years agoI'm watching it and I'm like, "lolwut"
Don't get me wrong I actually enjoy the show (did I just say that about a modern Cartoon Network show? Oh dear...), but the facial expressions and animation is a bit odd for me. :o
I fucking love Knuckles, though. Hilarious hunk of muscle. X3

Going on Holiday
Posted 10 years agoI will forever love using British slang in every situation. :D
Anyways, I'm going on a "vacation" starting this Friday or Saturday. Some really good folks are coming down to visit, and we're all going to be staying at a hotel for the next week. We'll be doing some fun stuff while they're down here, of course, but the reason this makes me happy is because I get to see my brother once again.
Yes, you heard right. Brother.
I have established in many cases that I am an only child, no siblings, just me and myself. However, this friend of ours (the one that's coming down to visit) had a child about 11 years ago, and since then she's become my Aunt, and I've accepted him as a distant brother of mine. Needless to say, we've had a lot of good times together (and he has seen me at my worst on multiple occasions), and seeing him again is really exciting for me.
Well, what does this mean for you guys? Well, I will be online, but it's probably going to be more sparse. Especially on Skype, I'll do my best to reply to messages, but I basically am not going to be able to RP, because (as if I wasn't already infamous for getting distracted mid-RP) with all the stuff we'll be doing I will only be able to drop in and say hello every now and then. I will post updates and maybe a few photos but that's it. I'll probably be online most often in the early morning or late night (in my time, of course), so you won't see me too rarely.
I just wanted to let you guys know in advance. Y'all have a great Thursday!TMI TUESDAY
Posted 10 years agoIT'S THAT TIME AGAIN.
I'M BORED.
...and full of pizza. Burps...

From Windows to Linux
Posted 10 years agoWith the help of a lil' friend of mine, I managed to switch my operating system from Windows 7 to Linux. Suffice to say, I'm quite happy with it. It was a pain in the ass to set up and get used to, but with my buddy's help, the process was made a little easier. He mentioned that new Linux users have really bad luck with it, and it has happened for me so far, but other than a few hiccups (and a broken mouse), it's a great operating system! Plus the distro that I got it from came with tons of applications, including GIMP! The latest version of it at that, so I may make some cool things in it once I get used to it. Then again I might just dick around with it and be silly about it. Hahaha!
Anyways, this doesn't really change anything that happens here, but you may find some art being made in GIMP one of these days...Religion - Why I'm an Agnostic
Posted 10 years agoOk, before I begin this journal, I just want to warn any of my Christian audience that this journal is going to be extremely offensive, and what you're about to read - well, you may not like too much. So if you're a devout Christian and don't like having your religion challenged, then I highly recommend you don't continue reading, but if you're like me and you don't give a fuck, then, well, here's a high-five for you.
I am an Agnostic. It's true, I do have some spirituality in my life and I do have my beliefs, but having been born into a Christian family (although also agnostic and not really too strictly religious), I have my doubts on the belief of a singular god (although my interest in Egyptian mythology is really high, I don't really believe in there being a higher being such as "god.") In fact, having the Christian god simply named "god" is a little bit selfish in my eyes, as if they're saying "there is only one god, and he is THE god, and there is no other," so basically just- bleh, it doesn't matter. I'm just reading too much into these things.
My life has been full of fucked up things, and as those of you who have stuck around all these years and put up with my whine baby babbling will know, things haven't been great. My Uncle Keith died, forcing us to move into Florida and leave my whole life behind me and start a new one, I've put up with two oppresive old farts on my Dad's side of the family for most of these years, I lost my Nana (the closest person to me in my family), and with these years being mostly full of pain and sadness and opression, I can't help but wonder what this "god" is doing all this time. Christians always promise that HE has a plan for you and that HE cares about you and HE is always there for you. Really? If he cares about me so much, why would he constantly shove my ass into these really shoddy situations and just abondon me to deal with it? If he's such a big help in your lives, why hasn't he given that same love to me? Perhaps he's just waiting for the day to suddenly be like, "Oh, sorry for your shitty life, here, now I'm going to help you out."
I mean, how else am I supposed to feel? I'm always being given a false sense of hope, always being set up just to be let down, and after all these years, Christians continue to act like god is the most helpful thing in your life and that you cannot live without him. Really? I've prayed, I've went to church, I've partaken in a choir, and still he continues to backhand me with these constant curve balls and be like, "Here you go, have fun living in this toxic environment." Fuck what any Christians have to say, I've been through too much shit in my life to be told that there is hope. No, there is no set path, God doesn't lay land mines to give your life direction, he just sends assholes like you to tell me what to believe in because it works out so good for them, but not for the poor saps like me who need help from wherever.
Now, despite all these things that I say about religion and how this "god" that throws me into this pit of despair, I do feel that there are things in this world that we cannot see. Each human, animal, insect, arachnid, mammal, aquatic being, everything has a soul, and these souls can stay attached to you even after death. I still believe my Nana's with me spiritually, and no matter where I go she can be there and smile at the fact that her beloved Grandson is succeeding in life. Now, granted she can only live with me in my mind, but I believe in spiritual things, and therefore I'm not an atheist, but to all these Christians who say that this "god" is sooooo helpful and that he helps you out in all the trials of life can go fuck themselves. God never gave me direction, he just kicked me around like a little soccer ball.
