does anyone have a deviant art account?

please tell me that someone does...

i want to get something going on deviant art, but
i don't have much of a following (about two whole people watch me). can you guys help me rally the troops and get some people to at least take a look? i'll be writing more on my other DA site shortly, so people who are interested can leave comments.

to give an idea of what's happening, i want to play the cube game, but have people make a piece of art out of what they're thinking. more on that later. have a good weekend kids.

it's that time again.

time for an update of weekly-like proportions.

thanks to all of you who played the four questions game. it's fun, and if you play it with your friends or anyone else, please feel free to pass along what they said. i have a small collection of answers from people, and some of them are pretty funny...

what would you like to play next? i'm trying to figure out why i feel stale creativity-wise, when i know i have a lot of ideas waiting to come out. maybe i just need to find some time alone and start writing more, get the garbage out and let the good stuff flow. does that make sense to anyone else?

that's all i've got for now. kinda busy at work, but that's a good thing, right?

just like i said, here it is:

if you haven't answered the four questions first, go here first.

you'll be sorry if you read on and haven't played... it's well worth it, and maybe if enough people are interested, i'll tell you all about the cube.

1. the
color is you. the words you use to describe the color
are words describing yourself...

2. the
animal represents a

significant other (or love interest). the three words describe what
you

look for in that person, or might already see in them.

3. the words to describe the body of water is how you view sex (or how
you would view it, or maybe how you'd like to).

4. the white
room represents death. the three words to describe it
tell how you feel about death.

how'd we do...? was it close at all...?

i will post the answers tomorrow. i need to take care of something first.

a word of advice, part VII:

think before you speak, accuse, or suggest without reason.

<rant>

i
don't get that fired up about issues around these parts, but one of the
things that pisses me off is ignorance and lack of respect. who are you
to come to my page, post some ignorant blather about cracking into your
site which i've never heard of, and expect ME to fix? oh, and you post
this as a COMMENT on something i wrote, instead of messaging me or even
putting it in my guestbook?!? i made a skin, actually several, for
xanga... that would include you, with your either free trial or milk
money you saved. more power to you for figuring out how to use a
computer, and learning how to go online, and even for trying to write
(although that's a whole different rant).

BEFORE you come to my
page, make sure you know what you're talking about... if it looks like
there's a skin on your page (meaning that it looks different than where
you write), try looking at this page first. how about asking me what happened? how about learning what's going on instead of reacting straight out?

i'm
not saying that i've never reacted before thinking, but in a community
like this, USE YOUR BRAIN. i never have, and never will, crack into
someone's site. i speak in complete sentences and actually know how to
use grammar, and wouldn't change a site i've never even heard of, much
less visited, even under the request of the user of said account. i
will help if i can, or get you pointed in the right direction, and
that's about it. if you still insist on making unfounded accusations,
be prepared for what you will receive in return. to the rest of you,
thanks for reading.

just another tired monday.

i'll sleep it all off someday.

how are the people in the xanga neighborhood? i think i'm getting sick again, with something completely different. coughing, starting to get a sore throat, and feeling a little more tired than i should. part of it has to be from watching the red sox... and staying up late to watch them win. yee-haa!

for today we're going to play the four-question game, which some of you might remember from about two and a half years ago... and i played this with someone last night (no names, of course). answer the questions, and the we'll go over the meanings in a day or two. yes, i know that means two posts in one week... i told you i was feeling off.

1. favorite color, and three words to describe it. this can be anything from how you feel when you wear it or see it, to what you like about the color itself.

2. favorite animal, and three words to describe it. this can be how you feel when you think about that kind of animal

3. favorite body of water, and three words to describe it. it can be anything from a specific lake, river ocean to a puddle, pool, raindrop, waterfall.

4. you're in an all white room. there are white floors, walls and ceilings, you're wearing all white, and there are no doors or windows (but it's still light). give three words to describe how you feel.

monday update

brought to you by a very tired dave this week.

so yes, i'm watching the red sox. they're the only team i've ever rooted for, and i've been sleeping very little because of them. of course, i didn't go to bed right after the game... i had to stay up and watch the blue collar comedy tour. not completely sure if it was worth it, but i laughed a lot.

ok, got that out of the way. thanks go out to those of you who still read me, and thanks go to the new people, who have found me in one way or another. just to keep things consistent, i think i'm going to make sure to have updates every monday, then maybe another one or two during the week. that way you don't think i forgot about everyone here, and i have something that's a little solid to work with. i want to write more, but i just get too distracted when i start... which probably means that i should turn everything off and go for a drive out to a nice, calm, wooded area and enjoy myself. hey, that's a good idea... *click*

so i was looking back at some of my older stuff (as in about three years ago) on here, and i guess i used to write a lot more often, and sometimes twice a day. wow, amazing how times change, don't they? i also used to write poetry from time to time, and even started nigh just for it (but didn't get too far).

then there was Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, who i had great plans for... but then ended up being too busy to really take it to where i wanted to go (it was because of good things though). maybe i'll start them up again some day, but not today...

what was the point to this, you wonder? i don't know either... just reminding myself where i've been.

sick of being sick.

no really. it's annoying.

last
tuesday, i got out of work a little early, around 4pm. i was excited to
have all that time ahead of me, and to miss some of the traffic. little
did i know what was going to happen...

it started with a sniffle,
about 15 minutes into my ride. nothing much, not more than what i've
had from being outside a lot. i rolled up the windows and didn't think
anything of it... then i noticed my nose was realy stuffed up. no fun.
then my throat started to get itchy. less fun. by the time i was almost
home, i was ready to fall asleep in my car. it was like someoe swooped in out of nowhere and sucked
all my energy away. very strange.

slieght change of plans, and i
went to grab some zicam (AWESOME stuff) and halls defense with vitamin
C, echinacea, and zinc. got home about 10 minutes later and that was
the last time i left the house until saturday morning. i was in pooooor
shape all week. i couldn't breathe very well, i was achy, and i didn't
want to do anything besides lay on my bed. i finally started feeling
better by about late friday, but i wasn't going anywhere anytime soon...

now
it's monday, i feel a lot better than i did, but not 100% yet. maybe i
should've gone to a doc, but then again... maybe i shouldn't.

q: where have you been?

a: around, but busy. kinda.

i keep saying that i've been slacking around here, and it's because... i have. there are a few other projects that i've been working on, and i haven't had time when i've been connected and online, and had time to post something. luckily, i have time right now, and you get to see this.

first, i got a new camera. it's a canon powershot S1 IS, and i'm liking it a lot. i haven't taken hundreds of pictures or anything, but i've started finding more that i want to take pictures of...

do you believe in love at first sight...

...or should i just walk by again?

i want to hear some pick-up lines, because i know you have them. i'd also like to know if it was used on you, you used it on someone, or you just heard it somewhere along the way. i think they're funny, and it takes some serious cojones to use them (in most cases). the topic comes up every once in a while, and it's fun to rattle off the lists...

yeah, it's been a long week already, and it's already tuesday. hopefully things will smooth out by friday...
