Heh, yes I love my new MP3 player! He's awesome. Now I haveto name him. And i have to name my camera. She's cool too. I don't know why they're like people, but they do have personalities. Lew, don't succumb to Ipod! You can get a better creative player... the Zen is a good series. You might as well get a 20 gb one, Zen touch like mine, just half the memory/ And you can try to sell the one you have...

Struck, it's good to see you! I look forward to your email, don't worry aboutit being long as long as you tell me what's going on1 *hugs* I've missed you! And I like your colouring of the yoshiki pic so far!


~Sara

whee! now your learning how hard it is to colour with PSP! *cackle* and how hard it is to get the colouring and shading right. ;-; hence the fact i still prefer to use inks and pencils instead of photoshop or paintshop. *grin* but it's looking pretty. ^_^ Keep it up! or else. *evil look*
Oh, and so everyone knows, radiometric dating is boring.

~Lewwy

Radiometric dating, eh? poor lew.

Struck, I drew the picture I'm going to give you! I just have to colour it, hopefully I'll do it tonight then scan it in. I look forward to talking to you soon!

yep i prefer pencils too, in fact i actually like black and white the most of all! Shading and depth seems to be clearer in black and white, color almost pics up too much!?

any way, here is the same pic, just colored in pencils.

Sooooo prettyful..... I want one... ;-;

~Lewwy

Wow, that looks amazing! I do like how you colour with pencils... It's hard but worthwhile. Pretty...

Progress on your picture is all drawn and 3/4 coloured. I'm using pencils again, but trying a new style which i think is nice. Hopefully I'kll be done tomorrow!

~Sara

~Sara

Ants are annoying, i sprayed them all, then i vaccumed them away, the n i cleaned my entire room, eyt they are still here!? WHY???? i feel like they are all over me, but i know they are not. As for Strucks pic i was going to color...not finished, is lazy, doesnt have motivation to finish it, tired apathetic and well, downright exhausted after the last month travlleing around with Dad. Im just happy to be home and resting for awhile...

eeew.... Ants are so gross, get them away! Damn little bugs.


Aw, being lazy is okay but apathetic is no fun! *hugs* at least you had a good time with your dad, but rest sounds good for now...


~Sara

heres the song lyrics you asked for Sara

"home is behind
the world ahead
and there are many paths to tread
through shadow
to the edge of night
until the stars are all alight
mist and shadow
cloud and shade
all shall fade
all shall..fade...."

i forgot, to say something here, but i think on your site at devart is better for such a post. Thankyou again Sara

Often people ask me why does bad stuff happen? This is something I always have difficulty explaining, often because it simply cant be explained easily to someone in pain. In the movie Batman Begins, there is a line "why do we fall?" "so we can pick ourselves up"

Without the 'Fall from Grace" that at some stage in our lives we all will go through, some even many times in their lives, we can become complacent and miss what is truly in front of us. Sometimes, we need to lose that which is most dear to us to fully grasp the gravity of the need or desire of what is important to us.

Often I have listened to people questioning their own faith, not just in a Deity, but in themselves. When the sun is shining and all is well, then they have confidence, self control, discipline and drive. they sing the praises of what guides them, yet...yet, when they are on their feet, have used the support given to them to stand tall and walk their own path and their guidance moves on to help another, they fail to further their own development and struggle when its all too hard...

"why do we fall?" perhaps a test of Faith?

rather than do it off their own steam, they bitch and whine, complain and give up hope, waiting for someone else to come along and fix their problems. I feel sorry for those who believe they really do have it hard, who believe they are hard done by, that the rules just are not fair, that no matter how hard they try, nothing goes their way....

True faith comes from taking the good with the bad, not changing faith to suit the times, weather the storms and come out on the other side stronger than ever, with new scars yet new knowledge too! From EVERY experience, something can be learned, something can also be taught. Its the CHOICES after the experience that can make or break us. How strong is your own resolve? If you get knocked down...how hard will you strike back? How quick will you get up? And how can you use the experience of the fall to get you ahead for the next one?

"why do we fall?" to learn how to change


My advice and five cents worth?...get over it and get over yourself! For the first time in world history, ALL nations have come together to abolish third world debt. Countries so far behind in their bills that people die from everyday hunger and common diseases. You think you have problems? Get out there and see the truth of it...are your problems that bad? Do you go with out food? Do you have no shelter? Do you have no-one that cares for you? provides for you?

I struggle with holding my tongue and not blasting out at people who dont see what they truly have, people who want more and more, yet give nothing in return! The whole 'woe is me' attitude is such a negative influence and does nothing to help move on nor improve the current situation.

"why do we fall?" to test our resolve, to inspire new accomplishments

I know what it is like to sink into despair and the need to wallow in self pity, it helps us to develop and to grow. But the time comes for us ourselves to take action and remedy the situations we get ourselves into. DONT be afraid to ask for help along the way, DONT feel that you are alone, reach out and talk to someone. WE ALL have the right to be heard.

Try to find the positive in everything...there always is a brighter side. think about it, as bad as something is, it could always be worse....

There are times when the rules imposed on us, may seem unfair, may be harsh, hell, literally they may just be unfair, but stand for your rights in a positive and engaging way. Show whoever it may be why its so important that you are allowed to do something, why its important that you have your own space. There is no book on parenting that encompasses everything there is to know about raising children...simply because we are all different, ever changing beings that need to be loved, need to feel needed, want to be liked, or want our opinions heard.

"why do we fall?" to show humility and to remind us of our mortality, we are human, creatures capable of mistakes but also capable of great things.

We covet the opinions of others, until the day we are able to make our own decisions. Our whole lives until we turn 18, our parents voices are the law quite often...-doesnt mean we agree...thats part of growing up and wanting our own opinions heard. the strange thing is, at 18, we are expected to act as adults, and along the way, new freedoms open up as do new responsibilites....

When rules that we dont agree with are imposed on us...of course the first thing we are going to do is complain...just stop a moment and think rationally from the other side of the equation....

I am always here to listen to anyone who has a problem, I wont ever turn anyone away. I will offer guidance, but ultimately, the choice is yours. Knowledge should be shared, it belongs to everyone, I learn a great deal by listening to others, always keeping an open mind. In my life, I have made mistakes, I do my best to remedy them, offer a difference of opinion if someone asks me what I think.

In the end...I am human too. I fall, I get back up, I move on, but I remember what the fall was like and try to avoid it again. One of my fav sayings is "I pick myself up, I dust myself off, I start all over again."

Many of you reading this may be wondering............

"what the Hell is he on about?"

In summary, its about getting on with things.. problems often seem much larger, until we stop a moment and study them. Sometimes, its hard to see the picture when you are in the frame.

Dont let opportunity pass you by, follow what is in your heart, be true to yourselves. There are times when our decisions will hurt others. Peoples needs conflict and overlap, its part of life.

Dont let your own feelings fall by the wayside, just to keep someone else happy.

Dont let that girl you love go, without telling her first how you feel about her...you never know what the next day will bring. Take her hand, tell her she is the most beautiful person to you, how you really feel about her.... that opportunity may never come again...if she says no, that she is not interested in dating you...well, at least you know

I believe that everything happens for a reason, some people disagree, some say they dont believe in Fate, thats fine, their choice and thats exactly what it comes down to. Our choices determine to a degree the direction of our lives, therefore head toward a possible future. Nothing is set in concrete, things can change.....even concrete can be broken, or dissolved.

Dont be afraid to let love go...sometimes its for the best. If you love something...set it free...if it comes back, its yours, if not, its never meant to be....

there is more i want to write, but im out of time so ill post it another time....

Its not hard to see what you are on about Struck, I agree. In fact i am one of those who used to bitch and complain....there is more out there than what we know, but along the way, what happens to us is the most important thing, because it is something we have to face and something we have to deal with

but you are right again, it is something that we CAN fix, something we can do something about. Sure we can donate to charities to help others overseas, yes we can help people here in our own countries. Once that help is granted, will it be used properly? Its as you said, once guidance has been given, will it be followed through with? or will it fall by the wayside?
