A World of Woes

WHAT'S GOING ON?

I've never been really good at opening up so forgive me if I seem a little dry. The word seems appropriate as I seemingly ingested a lethal amount of alcohol last night.

After I blatantly disregarded my Livestream schedule, I basically took this week off to play some Twilight Princess with a borrowed Wii and let off some steam. My demanding schedule has begun to take its toll on me and I needed some videogame R&R to cool off.

Another thing that has been taking it's toll on me is a pretty severe case of loneliness.

I've always dealt with some pretty severe rejection issues with women, but lately they have been getting much worse. Basically I've gotten to the point that opening up fills me with uncontrollable rage, and I end up insulting friends and getting into fights with the wrong sort of people.

And my drinking habits don't help.

I'm trying to deal, and get back to my work schedule. Though I'm hurting, the way I've always dealt is to focus on work, which is probably the only thing I take joy in lately.

I know I've been neglecting my Livestream. To be honest, I'm just not feeling it lately. I know we had a great inking session with a talk that just got really cool and you all got to know me well, but maybe that was because inking allows me to talk. Penciling pages is way too cerebral for streaming.

So I figure I'm going to limit Streams to my inking, coloring, and sketchbook, so we can communicate better and have some fun spitballing sessions like last time. I've added a livestream section to my journal which I will update before a session to let you guys know something cool is happening.

I really want this to work and I promise I'll try to hold my end better. Not only are Streaming and DA becoming a good source of income for me, but it provides me with a rare happiness I don't get anywhere else in my life. I want to keep it going, because... well, I'm tired of being hurt and angry all the time.

And just like that, I'm furious again...

LIVESTREAM SCHEDULE UPDATE

Hey guys!

It seems I'm going to have trouble keeping up with my regular schedule of 12:00 pm Central for livestreaming.

Right now I'm live, but I think it would be a good idea to point out the time I'll be guaranteed to be on is from 4:00pm central onward.

That way I don't waste your time keeping you guys guessing what times I'll log on. Still, if you'd like, you can log on at 1:00pm, which I am pretty certain I'll be on, but no guarantees. 4:00pm is your golden hour.

Also, soon I'll be setting up up a third section to this journal to describe my current schedule and upcoming events, if any.

Thanks for your patients and I'll see you all at my stream :)

LIVESTREAMNG TEST - LIVE

Guess what, people! I was able to get my hands on an old HPPC to install procaster on, and an old webcam, so we're up and running on live drawing!

Do me a solid, everyone, and pop on over. I'm calibrating my mic and camera, so I'd love the feedback so we can get the best quality.

Come on over! It'll only be a few mins. No drawing tonight, just testin!

I can has Procaster?

NO LIVESTREAMNG IN THE NEAR FUTURE

I regret to inform you all I won't be able to Livestream the coloring of my Witchblade commish, or any other work, in the following week. As a Mac user, I'm unable to use Procaster.

The good people at Livestream inform me that they are to release Procaster for Mac... in the following month -.-

So I guess I'll just have to wing it and ask for critiques. I do think I'm better then I expected.

Gotta thank :iconbakanekonei: for her livestreams ;)

Fasting Kills Pussycats

Tue Oct 6, 2009, 6:54 AM

I'D KILL FOR A WHOPPER

Fasting is a practice with great cultural background. It is a ritual long practiced throughout history, in that it purifies the subject and elevates our senses, bringing us closer to God.

Knights would fast and pray for an entire night before putting on armor.

Moses fasted for forty days and nights back to back before God came to him with the ten commandments.

I myself am fasting to purify my body... not of sin or guilt, but of the tiny, hellspawned intestinal incubus who is currently turning my organs into liquid shit.

As a person who refuses to partake of the pharmaceutical industry's libations and rememdies, my only course of action is to abstain from ingesting anything except water. I am feeling... a little weaker, and yes, the appeal of junk food grows by the hour.

But I am stronger then nature! My only solace is picturing the little bugs in my small intestine slowly die of starvation... Calcutta-esque renditions of my duodenum, with the little buggers gasping, "Foood... fooood..."

I delight in the anguish of mine enemies.
