Too Many Characters...

Journal Entry: Thu Nov 19, 2009, 11:10 PM




As the title says, sometimes life's great sayings won't always fit in the space provided. I received an urge to update my personal quote, but apparently it was too long for the space provided, so here it is:

"Life is about the Journey; your Destination will come in Time, you just have to wait around long enough for it to find you! With Patience you can experience life for what it is, in all its beauty, complexity and simplicity. Just love life for what it is and you will find peace."

The idea stems from a lot of places: The Bible, classical Greek literature (Odysseus), "Ulysses" by Alfred, Lord Tennyson; Taoism, Buddhism, Zenn, and a lot of other places I can't remember off the top of my head. It's a construct of philosophy that states one must appreciate life for what it is, the journey and continue on their voyage, ever vigilant of the path ahead, but not worried about reaching their destination. Oh, knowing at the time where they want to be headed is important, but being stressed about it is not the point. One must appreciate life for what it is and let it flow about them.

I wish the community well, peace, love and happiness. Good luck!

-Chris

Popular Culture/Fandom Question...

Wed Jul 8, 2009, 12:45 AM
Friends...

I have a small question, seeing I must have been living under a rock for the past...well, 6 years...but what the hell is with HS students not knowing who Peter Jackson and The Lord of the Rings Trilogy are? I mean WTF! What rock or vacent hill have I been living on to where society dropped so far in the toilet that society stopped teaching these kids about stuff that happened like...what...6 years ago?

I'm confused, lost and amazed that an otaku, anime loving geeket would have no idea who Peter Jackson is...I'm...well you can see by my incoherent writing...lost beyond coherent words...

Can someone answer this confused daze with some freak'in sense?

Well, art page updated! That is one more task down. I guess it should be off to the gym. I hope everyone gets a chance to look at my new stuff. Some turned out nice, others were...well...blah!

Hopefully I'll get more art up when I find the inspiration to Draw.

Drawing Madness

Well, I said I'd draw and apparently my subconscious listened. I've been drawing up a storm (at least for me). Tons of sketches, all faces, although I'm pissed I don't have something to scan them with so you can see what they look like. Gerr!

Anyhow, I hope you all are doing well and perhaps I'll have a scanner soon. ^_^'

I hopefully will find access to a scanner soon. I ended up having to drop out of school because they illegally changed my residency status. Quite a bummer. No problem though, since I was headed down to Portland. I guess it will simply happen sooner rather than later. I'll simply have more time to work until Summer Quarter begins at PSU.

I'll have to wait 2 months until I can buy a scanner.
