test entry

sorry for this, but I felt that it was necessary
I don't know if I'm the only blogger on Angelfire that's having this problem or not
but I can't seem to see my most recent entries after I've posted them

...if this problem keeps up, I'll archive all my old posts from here and MOVE to a new and better location...

I've wanted to do so (but I won't use LJ for that though) and I've been wanting to get my own little domain on the internet so I'll probably doing that some time in the future

now if I could just get hired somewhere so I could have a good job to support myself with *growls at Wal-Mart a bit*

-sigh- Pray that I'll be hired soon there... (or where ever else it that God wants me to be, like the Sam's Club nearby...)

-Daiko~
(pray for me
God is GOOD!!)

A song for myself (yeah, I'm not dead- just quiet)
Mood:  crushed out
Now Playing: see below +Heaven
(this entry is mirrored on my LJ- save for the link log)

Superchic[k]'s We Live
(lyrics taken from Let's sing it.com)

There's a cross
on the side of the road

Where a mother lost a son
how could she know
that the morning he left

Would be the last time
she'd trade with him for a little more time

[That] she could say she loved him one more time
-and hold him tight

But with life we never know
when we're coming up to the end of the road

So what do we do then -with tragedy around the bend?

Chorus:
We live, we love, we for-give and never give up~

Because the days we are given are gifts from above

So, today we remember to live and to love~ (2x)


Verse Two:
There is a man
who waits for the tests

To see if the cancer has spread yet

And now he asks, "So why did I
wait to live till it was time to die?"

If I could have the time back how I'd live~
(Life is such a gift~)

So how does the story end?

Well this is your story and it all depends

So don't let it become true, get out and do what we are meant to do!~

Return to Chorus

Bridge:
Waking up to another dark morning

People are mourning

The weather in life outside is storming

But what would it take for the clouds to break
For us to realize each day is a gift somehow, someway

So get our heads up out of the darkness
and spark this new mindset
and start to live life cuz it ain't gone yet

And tragedy is a reminder to take off the blinders
and wake up!
And live the life we're supposed to take up
Moving forward with all our heads up cuz life is worth living...

Return to Chorus one last time and fade out...

****
I'll remain hopeful and alive no matter what
God will help me to perservere...

not having reliable internet access is NOT fun
Mood:  irritated
Now Playing: -sighs-
and not having the freedom to innocently go out and do things away from home isn't fun either- like just going to the library (from where I stand, freedom to come and go is an enviable thing and I'm an adult! -sighs-)

anyway, online stuff to visit later:

pray for me, hopefully I'll be free in the future
and that I'll keep up with all my journaling

later...

what's going on? can someone explain this to me?
Mood:  quizzical
Now Playing: lots and lots of heavy rain & hail outside

a strange occurrence
(explanation of events at deviantART)

approximately 3 days ago [3d 23h 31s ago to be exact], I had logged in to devART to find the community in a big uproar over something- it had to do with [Jark] so I went to his page to acertain what was going on- he'd been fired. ...one of the founders of deviantART FIRED. I couldn't believe it- I was shocked, and I still am.

I had been gone for 5 days and this happened while I was away- it's not as if the world has been flipped upside down, but this is a horrible thing to see happen to this place -sigh- I don't like this... I'm reminded of Disney- of Eisner, I hope I'm wrong in my thoughts though...

this is the art community I belong to, while I don't believe that it's perfect, I never thought that I would witness something like this-ever.

...and now, I don't understand what's going on over at [deviantART] really... I just read [Jark's explanatory journal entry] but I still don't understand exactly why Jark was involuntarily terminated (I guess that he and Spyed got into an intense disagreement, but still I don't think that that would merit Jark being fired from his original position -sigh-)

this is not good.
I wonder what's going to happen next (and I'm kinda hoping that Jark could get his job back- he did it quite well for years, I don't want it to be taken away like this)

-Daiko~

the going is good...
Mood:  special
Now Playing: random oldies...

*smiles* today, I am going to take the Nursing Entrance Test, and have done a little research prior to purchasing it and completing it (which you can see here as text urls: Read More... now, I will take the test with no fear (for it looks quite easy, really)

see you later!

-Daiko~
(pray for me)

T-T;; -sigh- ah! Last time I posted here, I thought that the entry I had spent so much time typing for LJ had gone through- and I see clearly that it hasn't -sigh- I love how LJ gives me grief when I want to post my entries...

Read More...

oh well, I'll survive...
(I just hope that the pot roast I was cooking didn't get overdone and burn the house down o.o!! ...help?)

-Daiko~
(pray for me)

time is of the essence! (and yet, I don't harness it correctly)
Mood:  accident prone
Now Playing: broken snatches of a song (can't remember title)

I am so cuucoo~ I have been online for like 4 hours now- I need to go get something to eat and finish my business here [at the college] (for further details, see my [rambling LJ])

places I've been (or want to remember):
Read More...

see you all later~

-Daiko~
(pray for me)

I want more free time

I couldn't seem to post to my LJ, so here I am with a half-finished entry again -sigh-

various stuffs

darn it.

uh, hi... things seem to be going quite well this week since I've mostly spent my days at the VA volunteering- such interesting people have been working lately and I've been intrigued by them and their behavior... I wish that some of them would be more permanent and have their names on the roster more often- especially on days in which the hospital is short staffed but it's up to them. -sigh-

Anyways, I found this [cute picture] recently- it's nice to see young artists that show so much potential... I would watch her on deviantART, but there are so many others that I'm tracking already T^T;; *breathes out*

...

****
later, I went to my local library and recovered one of my discs of backup files o.o!! yay! :heart: and I ran into Madeleine L'Engle's Many Waters it seem that I know this book somehow but I'm not sure if I read a different version of it or something since it seems to be much longer than I remember it- if I did read it

Anyway, what drew me to it was the author's name and the beautiful illustration on the cover with the twins and the lovely seraphic creatures~ o.o;; it's so complex! I hope that some day I'll be able to finish a work like that...

8 minutes
Mood:  happy
left for me to write this (and the library won't be available starting August 1st, so I might not be online around that time either)

today, I managed to get a bit farther in the oekaki picture that I'm working on over at [Dee's] -and I'm glad
it seems that I've been so undisciplined lately with regards to my artwork since I leave so much of it unfinished so often -sigh-

...Anyway, today also, I've learned to die little deaths to my selfishness- that it's good to keep quiet at times about small things that are irritating and to let that emotion pass through without having to hurt other people- heh. that small things like the time that dinner is served- even if it's late, I'm still grateful for it

thank you God, for this change in my heart
I want to keep changing for the better~

EDIT: I don't understand why this entry didn't appear online after I hit the "post" button last night- I didn't even see it today when I went online from the VA, maybe I'll be able to see this (and have others) see this entry after this edit? I think so...
