Might I begin with a SLIGHTLY overdue belated happy 2009! Man I haven't updated in such a long time! Figured it's time to blow off the dust. So a quick rundown of what's been going on... (yeah... haven't updated since Oct. 2008)

Halloween 2008: Some friends got drunk for first time; worst Halloween ever because I had to clean up after them. It's okay though, corn starch with red food coloring isn't too hard to clean lol

New Years 2009: Went to a party where I didn't really know anybody, so I wandered and it was extremely beautiful sitting on a rolling beach with only stars and planes overhead.

Started my next semester of college. Lost my identity I'm a first year student, which means freshman. But I'm planned to graduate in 3 years, so I'm a sophomore. But I have enough credits that I'm a junior. Which makes me a freshophonior? That also means that I lost my Freshman University Scholarship

Began listening to Freezepop (and rokking out to it)

Still don't smoke, drink, or use any type of drug except Advil = I'm a prude + chism between me and some of my friends

Got THREE (3) chip bags for $1 from a vending machine.

Valentine's Day 2009: Happy Singles Awareness Day! My buddies are the best; a memorable night all thanks to our love for each other And who sends Valentine Cards with condoms in them?

Ew, what is that lump of stuff on the shower floor?

Today: He's Just Not That Into You is a little funny but not really worth it. Friend beat Prince of Persia 3 and its wtf ending.

Take a good look around you,there are some beautiful gems of galleries everywhere...

This deviant has a strong spirit. He expands beyond just one form of art and tries to improve his skills and techniques with his work. A few photos and website layouts are in his gallery, but what's really neat is that you can actually see amazing improvement in his gallery of digital paintings. A growing, branching artist in the making here Here are a few pieces from his gallery:

My Angel My Muse By ~Azurega

Hidayli and Belle By ~Azurega

Sword Dance By ~Azurega

Rejuvenation By ~Azurega

I find his username quite fitting for his skill and style. Mad skills and killer works with a twist! And lots of teddies? I feel like his work perfectly shows the potential for art to transcend words.

Smokers By ~MadSketcher

Star Deity By ~MadSketcher

Delicious By ~MadSketcher

Ghost By ~MadSketcher

I found this artist threaded throughout MadSketcher's gallery and favorites, so I decided to take a look. Seems like great artists have a knack of coagulating together, ha!
