Yo!!

Some of you may have noticed that I just recently uploaded a new comic titled Kris's Marvelous Misadventures. I was really bored and I wanted to redo Kris for the who knows how manyth time in a row. I decided to take him back to his original look when he didn't have any arms or legs. BUT! I gave him hair. He also has a friend names Bill, that you will see later. I Do plan to make a small series out of this since it is summer and I have nothing better to do with my life.

So! I will be doing nothing but siting here and tending to my cactus, Philip. Yes, I named a cactus. xD He's awesome! He is also flowering. I will take a picture of him so that you can see. ^^ Muchos adorable.

Personal Ranting Alert!

Okay, so recently I have been talking to my mom again and she has made tremendous progress since the last time I saw her. I've asked her to keep certain topics to a minimum (otherwise known as zero) and she has kindly stated that she will obied by that condition when I come to see her at her work. BTW, she works at the local Capital Nursery. ^^ That's where I got Philip. Mom got him for me since she gets 30% off at her work for being an employee! AWESOME! Not only that, but she has a boyfriend who she says has really helped her out a lot in the past year. hope that things continue to go smoothly and that everything will be fine.

Anyway, Thanks again to my watchers and those who comment!

Alright!

As you may have noticed, I posted one journal entry on top of another today. Well, it just so happens that I am a little OCD and the other one was really long. That does not diminish the message that it needs to send. I added my story and I hope that others of you will as well, whether you have had similar experiences or witnessed them.

As for the updates, I will be going to Hawaii in the near future and while I am there, you can only imagine that I will be going picture crazy. xD Photos galore when I get back. xD Also, I have been working on getting my pictures to be scanned. I think I have it figured out, but until I actually get it, there won't be any drawings.

Once more, I will ask if anyone has any suggestions for fics, drawings, photos, etc. (places to go and what not). Boredom is awful and summer vacation isn't helping me too much. -_- Oh, and BTW I would love some feedback on my photos. I really am not a good judge as how they turn out. ;

Thanks again for watching and commenting!

Please, repost this in support in your journal of your friends and loved ones who are. Love is not defined by color, creed, sexual preference, or gender. Feel free to add your own story to the end.

I am the girl who goes through hell and a half at school because I defend homosexuals instead of abusing them, and have been called the Antichrist because I don't believe people should be judged based on who they love.

I am the mother who is not allowed to even visit the children I bore, nursed, and raised. The court says I am an unfit mother because I now live with another woman.

I am the boy who never finished high school, because I got called a fag everyday

I am the girl kicked out of her home because I confided in my mother that I am a lesbian.

I am the one working the streets because nobody will hire a transsexual woman.

I am the sister who holds her gay brother tight through the painful, tear-filled nights.

We are the parents who buried our daughter long before her time.

I am the man who died alone in the hospital because they would not let my partner of twenty-seven years into the room.

I am the foster child who wakes up with nightmares of being taken away from the two fathers who are the only loving family I have ever had. I wish they could adopt me.

I am not one of the lucky ones. I killed myself just weeks before graduating high school. It was simply too much to bear.

We are the couple who had the realtor hang up on us when she found out we wanted to rent a one-bedroom for two men.

I am the person who never knows which bathroom I should use if I want to avoid getting the management called on me.

I am the domestic-violence survivor who found the support system grow suddenly cold and distant when they found out my abusive partner is also a woman.

I am the domestic-violence survivor who has no support system to turn to because I am male.

I am the father who has never hugged his son because I grew up afraid to show affection to other men.

I am the home-economics teacher who always wanted to teach gym until someone told me that only lesbians do that.

I am the woman who died when the EMTs stopped treating me as soon as they realized I was transsexual.

I am the person who feels guilty because I think I could be a much better person if I didn't have to always deal with society hating me.

I am the man who stopped attending church, not because I don't believe, but because they closed their doors to my kind.

I am a warrior for my country serving proud, but can't be my true self because gays aren't allowed in the military.

I am the person who has to hide what this world needs most, love.

I am the person ashamed to tell my own friends I'm a lesbian, because they constantly make fun of them.

I am the who isn't sure what she is. I am the who is rejected by her "best friends" because of a less-than-conventional crush.

I am what I am and I don't know who because I am always thinking about what other people will make of me. Who am I? Not boy not girl, just me and little people care about who you are and what you long for when you look like someone else obviously and your wishes and dreams seem easily to be guessed. Fail.

I am the person who would be happier as the other gender but fears that getting a sex change will cost me the love of everyone close to me.

I am the person who can only be myself over the internet because then I can tell my friends that I'm a man when I am....even if I do not have the body of one.

I am the girl who cried all night because her mother tried to convince me I wasn't bisexual, and refuses to have the conversation with me.

I am the Seventh grade girl who thought about participating in the "Silence for Sexual Rights" many Eigth graders were doing at our school in honor of Matthew Shepard, but didn't from the fear that everyone would think of me as "weird" even though I do not discriminate Homosexuals.

I am the girl who lives for the internet because of the freedom it give me; I can be who I am and not be afraid of hiding from that fact because on the internet, no one knows you...

I am the boy tied to a fence, beaten to a bloody pulp and left to die because two straight men wanted to "teach me a lesson."

This is the boy, Matthew Shepard. On October 7, 1998 Aaron McKinney and Russell Henderson lead him to a remote area east of Laramie where they demonstrated unimaginable acts of brutality . Matthew was tied to a split-rail fence where he was beaten and left to die in the cold of the night. Almost 18 hours later he was found by a cyclist who initially mistook him for a scarecrow. Matthew died on October 12 at 12:53 am at a hospital in Fort Collins, Colorado. MURDERED BECAUSE HE WAS GAY!!!

IF YOU BELIEVE THAT HOMOPHOBIA IS WRONG... REPOST THIS
AS "HOMOPHOBIA."

IF YOU ARE IGNORANT... IGNORE.

Hey people.

Alright, so I had sent the inquiry to the dA Help Desk and they responded rather quickly. Their answer was just and it made the reason for deleting certain pictures that are labeled as mature very clear;

As any good sight would, deviantART does NOT support anything that could be misconstrued for pornography. A good portion of the pictures that are deleted on a daily basis are often under the category of pornography (or within close parameters) and this will not be tolerated by the dA admin. Even if the picture is labeled as a mature content picture that can't be seen at all by viewers under the age of eighteen, it will still be taken off because of the simplicity of a young user applying to dA with a fake age.

Personally, I am still not too happy with the fact that an artists piece would be taken off of a place where one if free to express themselves, but at the same time I completely understand and agree with the devantART administrators; they are in the right and have the right to protect the younger and more influential viewers from mature content that they may not yet be aloud to see.

For those that have had their pieces deleted, I am extremely sympathetic for the rejection of expression, as is the way of art. To the rest of you, I thank you for watching and commenting as always. ^^

Take luck and care!!

Hey all!

I know I'm not the only one who has noticed that deviantART has been a little unethical lately. They have been taking off pictures that are labeled correctly as mature content, but leaving many of the others that should be labeled. I don't find this to be right. Why should one be punished for abiding by the rules set down by the admin. of the site?

I have sent a question to the general help center asking them why this is occurring. I also told them that I understand that it is for the safety of the younger viewers and users of the site, but when a picture or piece of literature is labeled as mature, don't you think that a kid would avoid such a piece?

Depending on their answer to the question, I may or may not decide to contact them again. If and when I do contact them, I will explain that it is not right to go through with such actions because nothing wrong has been done. The artists have not gone agaisnt any of the rules of the webpage.

Ahywho, thanks for you time. ^^ Just though that I would say something. Let me know any of your thought on the matter.

Thanks to all my watchers!! w00t!
