Hey everyone, got some downtime and I need to just get this out and collect my thoughts so I can keep on truckin.
The drive down was pretty easy, even though Garmin got us turned around a few times (whoops shortest destination instead of fastest....). Savannah is beautiful but even more busy and crazy than when I came down in June. It's quite the adjustment and this time I'm actually driving it.
I stayed in a hotel with my parents for a few nights as we drove to orientation all day for Friday and Saturday. There were so many things to squeeze in and rush to, and I hardly got a second to myself.
Today was the first day of classes. I got up

Is it Me? Or is Deviantart Dying?
I was chatting to some art/writing friends online, and it seemed to be something we agreed upon.
Deviantart seems kinda dead, or like it's dying or something. Or is that just for me ( and the people I've spoken to?). Honestly, I think a lot of the changes they made are responsible.
Disclaimer (because I always need one for some reason). This is my journal. It is my opinion. If you have a different opinion I'd love to hear it. I'm not out to offend anyone (kind of sadly hilarious I have to post these more and more lol ).
I've been here a long time. Well, I suppose I wasn't active for many years. I lived in Japan and Deviantart has no prese

Halloween fast approaches…
…and with it, the latest re–make, this time an “origins” story, of the “Dracula” legend (“Dracula Untold”, October). For some magical or medical reason Dracula so stimulates and fascinates our psyches that it has survived and thrived since publication in 1897. Rather than present a synopsis of the original novel’s narrative for the few of you that haven’t read it or seen at least one of its movie versions, what is offered here is a rough charting of the evolution of this story.

10 ways to become more productive
Dear, deviantart fellow artists
It's difficult to feel motivated and stay focused on our goals all the time. But how to achieve what we want, how to not let procrastination stand in our way?
Here are some of my thoughts about the topic and I hope that they might be helpful.
1. Set goals
Think about your ultimate goal - what is that matters to you the most, what would make you incredibly happy and excited. Write that down and work your way through to it. It will be the reason, the reminder for you to look forward in those times, when you'll feel less motivated.
Try to write also weekly, monthly and yearly goals - be reasonable and realis

OK, this is getting really irritating rant
I dont rant publicy very often but now I am putting my foot down.
Stop.Using.Me.
Every week I have to deal with some stranger I havent talked to trying to use me for all the watchers that have come to my account. Let me just make one thing straight, this is not an account to feature, help spread stuff and all that, this is my gallery. IF that makes you mad or upset then go be friggin mad and upset I dont give a flappityhockeypuck. I dont care if you think I have an ego for not wanting to feature you, and help out. Jesus grow up there are hundreds of ways to feature yourself if you got of your lazy asses.
STOP ASKING ME. Stop trying to GUIL

Editor’s Note: by techgnotic (https://www.deviantart.com/techgnotic)
Why did we delay for more than a week the publishing of this remembrance? Because to properly reflect the impact of this loss on the millions of Robin Williams fans worldwide, we wanted to be sure to capture a true sense of the torrent of love for Robin pouring in from the community in the form
I usually dont write about this stuff but seeing it all over the internet has really started boiling my blood like crazy. Im sure you all know about the little bastard Elliot Rodgers who thought he had the right to go gun down those girls, what pisses me off more than anything else is those who defend the shit he pulled. Depression, bullied, asperger's or what ever other fucking excuses there making up is a damn joke, he was nothing more than a little stuck up rich boy bitching because he couldnt get things his way. Claiming hes the alpha? supreme? has some right to a woman's body as if its his right? fuck that, 'rotting in loneliness'? Ha! i
