IT'S BEEN A WHILE! (それは久しぶりです！)

So, sorry it's been more than two months since my last posts, I've just been so busy now that I'm at ART SCHOOL!!! Yeah so I am in art school as a first year student in the Graphic Design major (for now!) My current classes are: Intro to the Arts, English I (Yes there are English classes in art school!), 4D: Time Based Narratives, Graphic Design: Tools, and Drawing I: Real to the Imagined.
I've got a pretty busy schedule and have already had some major projects, so now that I have some free time, I thought I'd update. Over the next hour or so I'll be Posting some new Poetry I wrote recently, not all of them mind you just some of my favorites.
NOTE: I have come up with my own style of poetry! It's what I like to call Lyrical Haiku (Please don't laugh). How you do it is basically write several haikus (Say five) and write them in a style so that they go off each other, making a story, like lyrics to a song, sort of.

Please also note that I don't know when the next time I will be able to post is, so to anyone who actually looks at this blog (Which I doubt there are), I am sorry.

Botanical Garden (植物園)

So last week we were going to go to the zoo, but we decided that it would be more cost effective if went somewhere else instead. So we to a Botanical Garden instead. It was huge and really beautiful. We ate lunch there and walked around for almost five hours just taking everything in, and what was even better was that it was a community day so we didn't have to spend anything on it. I took a lot of great pics and thought I would share some of my favorites here. Enjoy!

New Drawings (新図面)

It's been a while since a new update and sorry about that.

I have some new drawings however, they were done for an art trade that never happened. There are six in total. The event that it was supposed to happen at was a dinner thing at my sister's school, held by my old design class. My sister wasn't sure if it was going to happen (The art trade) so I did some pieces for it anyways, just in case it did go on. Here are.

Big Brother - Hitashi (兄貴 - 浸し)

Another art post in the same day! This time it is another Pokemon Gijinka, of Lumineon. This time a male Lumineon. His name is Hitashi and is the big brother of the first Lumineon Akaru. He is about three years older than her and has a completely different attitude than his little sister. He is rash and hot headed and very full of himself, he knows he looks good! Although he put up a tough guy demeanor, he has a soft heart and can be very sensitive, especially when someone threats him or his friends and family, or if they make fun of his hair. So here he is and enjoy!

Also some sad news, about a week ago my beloved fish Cloudburst past away, he was a Siamese Fighting Fish and lived alone, I had him for a year an a half and he was sick for a short time, When I noticed him, we immediately changed out his water and gave him more food, he lasted more than twenty four hours but then when we came back from an Easter party, he had already gone. R.I.P.
p.s. I did not flush him down the toilet, that's just evil to do that.

Another thing a couple of days ago our old dog Prancer escaped while we were either at the beach or later that night, we believe he escaped when the wind blew over apiece of wood that blocked a hole in the fence and he squeezed through. Luckily we did find him today, he was at someone's house who had found him on the other side of town, we don't know how he could have gotten there because he would have had to have passed one if the busiest streets in town, but we know he did because when we went around asking the neighbors if they had  seen him, one person said they saw a dog like that on the corner near a gas station on the main street. Luckily some people who take care of lost dogs, they reported him to the shelter and they got in contact with us so we went and got him.

I don't know when the next time I will be able to post anything new so see you hopefully soon, bye!

Random Photos! (乱数写真!)

Here is another post for the Random Photos section! This time it is not really that random, they are photos taken from about a week ago. On that day my family and I went to the beach to see if the waves were significantly larger from the Japan Earthquake.

We were going to meet our aunt and cousins there, but they were horribly late, about an hour and a half (we drove past them as we were leaving.) So we went to the mission instead and ended up waiting for them there, waiting twenty minutes to a half an hour this time for them, they eventually arrived and we walked together until it started to get dark and then went home. So here are some of the pictures taken from that day.

Looks like Bugs Bunny was here!

Pineapple Blast (パイナップル爆発)

So sorry it's been more than two since a post, this has mostly been due to the fact that on the day after my last post, Pokemon Black & White came out in America (I personally purchased White) and because I haven't really had much to post about recently, but now I am back and hopefully will be posting more often! Again!

This post is going to be pretty short, it is for a contest that I entered on deviantArt.com, the One Cat, One Clock, One Fruit contest by Fotalia. This was by submission for that, Enjoy!

It's kind of scary and funny at the same time! Just in case you couldn't tell, the clock is supposed to be an earring on the cat. Done on Photoshop!



Also, as many of you know, about a week ago, devastating tragedy happened. I am talking about the earthquake and subsequent tsunami that followed. I have heard a lot of bad things from the news (which is another reason why I haven't been on recently). Please support them in anyway possible, whether it be by giving money to the Red Cross, or just simply hoping and praying for the people of Japan (which really won't do much but still in these times we need hope). Also, on the matter of the Nuclear Power Plant situation in Fukushima, I really do not think that it is as bad as the reporters here are making it out to be, obviously it is a problem and the area around the plant probably won't be inhabitable any time soon, but honestly, the thought that nuclear fallout will cover the entire Northern Hemisphere is just preposterous.

Well that's all, for now hopefully I will post something a little latter on today.

Random Picture Time! (乱数写真時間!)

Another set of random photographs! This time they are all pretty recant, all being from the same day about two weeks ago when my family and I went to a family reunion. We had a pretty good time and the ranch it was held at is located in a beautiful canyon, so here are the pictures from that event. At the end of the event, as we were leaving the house and getting ready to head home, we were greeted to a wonderful sunset (Picture at bottom), so enjoy:
