Hey all. So, apparently, I've missed alot in the last month. Quite a bit of submissions by others, comments, shouts, wtches, favs, yadda yadda. I've gotten through with my commander and it appears that I'm in the clear. I've gotten the all-good on my situation, saying that it is, indeed, the freedom of expression/art/whatnot.

So... I have returned, but I'm not going to be drawing as much... in fact, I don't think I'll be drawing till after college or something like that, so keep it on the down-low. SWAMA, I don't think I'll be returning, but I will check ya out every once in a while, as will I with Concession. I've been quite busy lately, and I REALLY think I don't have the time to invest in drawing much.

So, quite a few people have been wondering how I've been doing. I'm fine, but I had spent the last four weeks in care (two weeks in the hospital and two weeks with check-ins). As none of you may have known, I suffer from high blood pressure, and I take pills for it. Well, sometimes those pills don't help when I'm under alot of stress. After the incident a month back, my stress level increased dramatically. I was cleaning my room one day, and my sides, on the back side of my hips, felt like someone was stabbing them. I blacked out and later woke up in critical care. Thank god my roommate, Matt, found me in my room and called the ambulance. It turns out that I have (yes, I still have it) chronic kidney disease. For the first two weeks, I was under the watchful eyes of doctors and nurses, injecting me with shit and whatnot. Then, I spent another two weeks going in to check-in everyday to see if I needed a dialysis. Most times I did, and that shit hurts...

Nowadays, I have to go in about twice a week and have a dialysis that lasts nearly the whole day. Pain... and... boredom... Even now, the doctors say I have a 25% chance of living to 20, so I'm going to be living it up now. I'm sure I'll make it. I'm strong. I always win :).

Well anyways, I'm home, resting peacefully, resting my head on the lap of my savior as he strokes my hair, hehe ^_^. I know I'm straight but... this guy saved my life. I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for him. So I appreciate Matt with my life and, in a way, admire him.

So those are my updates. I'm open to questions, compliments, blah blah blah. Also want to thank  The-Viper for keeping me updated on everything, checking my emails, FA account, etc. Thanks cuz. Love forever, dude.
