I'm not finished yet
Mood:  hug me
Now Playing: 90.5 Spirit fm
Topic: buy my stuff!
I'm not finished yet- definately not
especially when it comes to this blog
and I'm getting a bit tired of typing things like "entry unfinished" and all, so I may change that.

Today, some of my concerns are about voting and the things that I'm selling online

I've found that I really love Half.com when it comes to me selling things since it is so easy to list things on here; also, the fact that Half.com does not charge a listing fee for items makes selling on there really great!

on to other matters...
Mood:  lyrical

Today, for the observation of All Saints' Day my younger brother and I headed over to our church to get to the 8 o'clock Mass (yes, it was in the morning and I usually have a very hard time getting to this Mass on time) and we made it~

I really would like to give God thanks for that, I do know that my brother and I did put forth effort yet I know that it was due to God helping us that we had that small miracle of waking up early- the extra hour is something to be grateful for as well.

Let's consider the sky...
Mood:  bright
Now Playing: *light flute music*
Topic: sanctify~
Let's consider the sky,
in all its glory
it's a passing beauty
and it's free
and often taken for granted

it's called "God's Canvas"
at times, since this is the place
where the colors are spread
over it like a pallete
-it's something like a water color sketch
a blending of hues

consider this and other "simple" things
and be glad.

some of the little things*
Mood:  d'oh
Now Playing: *sound of Daiko thinking*
Topic: bits and pieces
the original title of this entry was "rrgh! (little annoyances and things)" but I decided to change that to something "lighter" instead.

you can read this hidden portion if you don't mind Daiko whining about Paypal

let's see a bit of where I've walked today, shall we?
DA poll: how long since you've been to an art event?
HMO's Angel Boy in Screentone

illusions by hexentanz
Wow, not only is this image beautiful, but the artist appears to have really good "art sense"- I am now quite interested in their work... and I'm amazed by their level of customization within their DA journal- I mean, I didn't even know it was possible to make it look so beautiful like that... wow.

and here's a bit more that I've found on DA today:

a few more links are hidden below

*I'll be getting to some of the "bigger things" later today in another entry if I can- I'll try to cover what I did during the weekend (two parties, All Hallowed Eve observance) as well as some of today's things (possibly, I'll cover All Saints' Day, prayer, and other things as well).

this cut was the original state that I left this entry in after I had first typed this at college earlier.
Read More...

something like a rant here.

****
At the moment, (5:26p to be exact) I am now contemplating whether or not I should take donations for money online (ugh, I think the idea sounds horrible personally- even worse now that I've actually typed this up) I don't think that I will be taking this option, since I would much rather work and earn payment rather than accept charity... but, I won't be giving this much mulling over as I feel that this is just a light passing thought.

I'll do what I can to honestly make money, I won't resort to other options- my heart won't allow for anything other than that.

...

So, would anyone care to commission me? I do have reasonable prices, and I am willing to do artworks starting at $5 (which is quite inexpensive really)

the day before All Hallowed Eve
Mood:  quizzical
Now Playing: my favorite radio station, Spirit fm!
Topic: bits and pieces
(speaking of my favorite station, I don't have it linked in my sidebar anymore... I think I'll be changing this in the future though.)

-yes, today truly is the day before the night that was once known as a holy evening... I just learned some of the history behind this event, and it bothers me that this is not more well-known. It would be an excellent idea to have more people be aware that this day is supposedly a holy day because it is in preparation for All Saints' Day* which follows right after.

there's something hidden behind a cut here.
Read More...

and today on DA:
I ran across a new artist, Chibi Bunni-chan
she has the potential to draw even better in the future, and I like her most recent deviation even though she doesn't. ^_^;;

Angle of Fall by Nightline

Wolf Moon by Mayshing (I also enjoy her comic series that she currently has up on DA** also, she has some nice tutorials as well.

Mayshing also lead me to another artist, Tikal by way of the shoutboard in her journal (yes, I'm still referring to Mayshing- for those I have confused with my strange sentence structure. ^_^)

a favorite from the excellent artist, Maggock
this is called, Breaking Free

-------
*in the Phillipines, All Saints' Day is celebrated as a National holiday- the offices and schools are closed- they get the whole works! I wish that things were like that over here, America could sure use more holidays and time for people to be off work since we're such an overworked country. -sigh-

**please take note that this link will take you to the first page of the aforementioned "comic"

Noo~!! -not the Vegans! -anything but that! o.0!!
Mood:  accident prone
Now Playing: *sewing machine & dryer not working*
Topic: bits and pieces

I said that because earlier, around 7:47pm here the moon was this blood red color- and if you know anything about the show, Grendizer then you will understand my apprehension well.

****
So, let's see some of what Daiko has seen today, right? Here's what I've seen today- some of these links are revisits while I have only discovered others for the first time today:

Whine by Ursulav

the Smallrus!

The Lightness of Being

Rocket House a classic favorite of mine, which I still find so wonderful.

Felicia lineart by Kaoru-chan

micahgoulart



croquille ink an example of what you can do with this ink

Tria Pantone markers

The Free Server.com

Netrulon.com

Lifetime webhosting.com

Sweetmoon's page- her open oekaki is lovely

ModBlog

Mysterious Ways
comments on aforementioned tv show.

****
"whine whine... cheese, cheese..."

see the above, that's what my younger brother likes to say (especially when I'm doing something on the computer and he wants "his turn") and so with that lovely quote, I am off! (I'm half joking of course! *belly laughter ensues* ...ack! I love you, Kabi!!)

empty wanderings.

I wish to post a serious entry for this blog, and I find myself unable to do so at the moment. -that is not because I physically can't, but all the thoughts that I had earlier are now refusing to come together in some way that makes sense. -sigh-

I'll be posting some filler for now.

****
I found an interesting artist during my time at DA today: Video Game Junki.
I came to his page through the Daily Deviation that was chosen today.

Colouring Practice by Jopet.

some lovely artwork from Loish:
"yarr, matey"
Moon Dancer

other off-DA things:
Far art review.com
Next day Anime shop.
My humble online shop at CafePress
Hobbit like humans?!
poking fun at "undecideds" and more...

****
I think my love for this webcomic (MegaTokyo) has rekindled with this strip ... *sniff*

****
wishlisting:
some art supplies!

...yeah, I find myself looking at things online and saying mentally, "ooh, I want that!" -I know that this isn't bad, and I know that this is normal and that I usually never even think this way, but I feel a bit odd for doing so and I'm not sure why.

bleh, I think that would make an excellent entry for later: wanting stuff and the psychologies behind that phenomenon. ^_^ (okay, that would make an interesting pseudo-intellectual title if I get rid of the cute smiley face)

Daiko looks at a strange box.
Mood:  loud
Now Playing: World Cup Comedy (my favorite tv show)
(I'm "loud" since I'm laughing so hard due to the extremely funny show [World Cup Comedy] in the "now playing" section. Go Fuzzy! Yay! Ham Squad! ...*sniff* I miss Razor Burn so much though.)

I and my little brother hope that this show comes out on DVD some time in the future- I want to see everything and laugh 'til my throat becomes sore. ^_^;;

uh, Cold Turkey anyone?

****
Okay, aside from me looking at the tv, I've got a little happy news too- I'm going to backtrack my online steps first...

I found a free prayer site through a signature link in the CAA's forums today- it looks quite promising, and it seems to offer much more than I can currently offer now. ^_^;;

Afterwards, I reviewed an article I read at deviantART- the DA community recently had a revision of their storefront services*

I also found myself looking at an artist who I hadn't noticed before: Fraeulein.
and from the little that I've seen of her work, it looks quite lovely and clean (yes, I'm referring to her art- I especially like her pasta piece).

While I was looking around DA, I found myself perusing the prints since I was looking into what it might be like to have one of my own (a similar account like this man's)- I took another gaze at Minced Niku's Lost Within I also saw Artgerm's excellent piece Pepper Brushy

Some time after visiting the lovely Fraeulein, I saw this link in her journal to an interesting community- I was mildly shocked... actually, I was less than "shocked" but that as accurate as I can get descriptively- at least for this area anyway.

hmm, took a look at Shadowness -it bothers me a little that some of these other online art communities look so much like deviantART, I don't understand why this is though... maybe I wish that there were more original designs for these places? -yeah, that's probably it.

-ack! sorry for the shabby temp ending like this, but I'm going to log off so that my little brother *hugs him* can use the computer now~ oh hoo hoo hoo~ he's so cute! *hugs him lots!!*

*I would really like to have a prints account -sigh- and I did cover this topic before *laughs a bit nervously*

[/entry unfinished.]

Daiko trekks the internet (almost everyday)!
Mood:  accident prone
Now Playing: *mental alarm of IT'S TIME TO WORK*

in a somewhat disorderly fashion [a small chronicle of the wanderings for today]:

One place that I found through a banner ad was,Foliolink.com this is a site that has tools for artists who wish to have online galleries- I'm still checking this out as I don't know exactly how they operate or what their services offered are.

Also, while I was at deviantART I looked through the FAQs briefly and found out how to get a prints account. (I am now seriously considering buying one as it will never expire and that it could be a good source of income for me- hooray!)

Some time earlier, I had been crusing around Mangetsu/Sweetmoon's site and found a link to Ohagi-ai.com from her oekaki board- I'm not exactly sure of what's here, but I do know that this is the website of an artist in Japan.

argh, I know that this reeks of "undone-ness" but I have so got to go to bed now, or else I won't be making much sense- I do need my rest...

-I'll finish this tomorrow... ugh.
