Festive Fall
Mood:
 accident prone
Now Playing: sounds of life around me
Topic: bits and pieces
Today, my little town* has started it's Flapjack Festival for the season and... I'm missing it ;_; still, though I don't want to miss out I feel somehow that this is fine and that somehow I'll get there before the end of the festival (runs from Nov. 5-7 this year) at least, I hope so. **** four pieces from DA: fireflies in a jar"How to" tutorial by Ashwingsa word of warning for this, it has a HUGE image- but it is a good tutorial if you want to learn how to CG images, so be patient! Better than TV by CelesseRingwraith by Yonazto think, this guy did this entire piece with an optical mouse only since his tablet wasn't working ...o.0' personally, I am also an optical mouse user and I could do something like this with the same tool, but I am beginning to feel the limitations of the mouse and am now starting to wish I had a tablet- actually, a Tablet PC would be much more preferrable in my eyes. ------- *about my "town" it's actually a municipality of Tampa Read More...if you just want to know about the Flapjack Festival itself then the official site should help. -Daiko~ (the following was something of a joke, this really isn't important- the entry above this is important though.) Read More...
so I will remember the truth...
Mood:
 crushed out
Now Playing: You're still here waiting
Topic: sanctify~
(I hope and pray that other's will too.) Love is patient, love is kind, love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends but as for prophecies, they will come to an end For we know only in part, and we prophesy only in part; but when the complete comes, the partial will come to an end. **** With regards to myself, I still have trouble with doing this properly- being a truly loving person, I mean. I do... I'm not as patient as I can be and sometimes I want things my own way I find myself irritable and resentful at times (but more often for the latter, and not the former thank God!) Yes, I am still working on this indeed. please pray that my love for others and for everything else will be perfected- I want sainthood, and will change my life to life in a way that is truly good- to be sanctified is my goal. pray for me. -Daiko~

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! **** more on the now playing line: Read More...today's DA at a glance: Read More...-Daiko~ (pray for me?)

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. **** Pre-election day Daiko madness. Read More...I pray that I am doing well on ebay- I'm not exactly sure of how everything works since I'm new, so I hope my buyers will be patient with me... Read More...Read More...[/semi finished entry] -Daiko~ (pray for me please.)
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 Read More...**** 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 Screentoneillusions by hexentanzWow, 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: Read More...a few more links are hidden below Read More...*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. Read More...**** 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) [/more finished journal entry] -Daiko~ (support this Destitute Scholar, won't you?)

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-chanshe 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 NightlineWolf 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, Maggockthis 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" [/mostly finished entry] (Kabi really wants his turn.) -Daiko~ (pray for me!)

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 Dancerother off-DA things: Far art review.comNext day Anime shop.My humble online shop at CafePressHobbit 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) [/entry practically finished.] -Daiko~ (pray for me, won't you?) (...support a Destitute Scholar!! XD)
