freakin-socrates

In the last year and a half I've visited this place less and less but I do pop in once in awhile to see what's going on. Deviant Art has been through some big changes (I don't think I even need to mention them at this point)  It's rather trippy/cool to see a number of familiar names have transcended to higher ranks as admins and the like. Looking back at my past activity here and where I am now I have also changed a lot. I read some of my old journal entries all the while thinking to myself. "I actually used to think that? What the hell?" and "I cant believe I acted like that at one point." It really puts things into perspective. I have totally different sites I frequent now than I did a couple years ago, some of my personal tastes have changed.

This is of course inevitable. It wouldn't be natural to remain exactly the same for years without change or development. In fact I find the thought of that sort of stagnation to be quite frightening. Im not exactly sure what Im trying to say here, just thinking out loud I guess.

[broken record]I'd like to become a bit more active here again like I used to be but I don't know how likely that is. I've got a lot of stuff going on right now (college, etc.) On top of that my internet time can only be spread so far. But who knows.[/broken record]

Hello folks! Yes it's me again. Some cool things have happened sine I last wrote in my journal (way back in September yikes)

For one thing I FINALLY got a Wacom tablet!. It's a 6x8 Intuos 3. I haven't one anything major with it yet but it's really awesome so far. It took a little getting use to but it's pretty fun to use.

Also after being out of highschool for 5 years. And wasting all that time doing absolutely nothing. I've finally started college. I had my first class last night. English 1 It was pretty cool.
Im not used to all the freedom the students get though. I mean eating and drinking in class?
Unheard of! What? You don't have to ask to use the restroom? That's crazy! As silly as it sounds Im still used to the old highschool rules heh.

I promised myself I'd do something with myself before I was 25 and I beat that by a year. Speaking of which it freaks me out a little that Im going to be turning 24 in 15 days. I sure as hell don't feel 24.

Next on my list of things to do is loose some freakin weight. My blood pressure has never been that great but if I dont do something it's only going to get worse. I already take to medications for my damn blood pressure.

Also I really want to get a digital camera. I've always enjoyed taking photos. But all I've ever used is those shitty disposable cameras and I tend to never get them developed. I hope to make a hobby of taking pictures which I hope in turn will give me more incentive to get up off my ass and do some much needed walking.


My that was a rather long journal entry. I don't think I've ever had this much to say. In closing I leave you with this poem written by this guy about his dad I think. I cant remember the dude's name but it's a nice poem.

Enjoy!


---------------------

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.



Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lighting they
Do not go gently into that good night.



Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.



Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.



Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.



And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

I swear it!

I've just been doing a lot of other things.

I see there are some new nifty features here and there since last I was on. Great work as usual yous guys in charge.

I hope I can get back to being super active eventually here at DA. Because I really love this place. And I miss all the cool peeps and of course the forums. hehe

Well Im off for now. catch ya later!.

ARGH! Reduced to a lowly non-subscriber! On the humanity! How will I ever live this down?

Well I do have a few bucks left in the old bank. Guess I'll renew muh sub...or I may have to wait until next month to renew it.

Hello whoever is reading this! I've been gone for like a month or something. I've actually been doin other things besides spending all day on the computer. While this is a good thing it also means I wont be on DA as often but I will be around every once in awhile.

Just thought I'd give yall an update to what I've been up to.
Well Im off! Got things to see and people to do.
