Hi all.

I bring in some news about things happening with me lately, but I can’t say if you would care to not like it, or don’t care at all. Looks like I’ve been having doubts about friendly loyalty lately, but that’s another matter.

Anyhow, a lot of you may be wondering why I haven’t uploaded any piece of art in a really long while. Well, I do have some good and a relevant number of art pieces which are kinda ready at my disposal… or should I say WERE ready!

Okay, for those of you who haven’t learnt about it yet, I was (and still am) passing through times of really sudden and unexpected events, and they’re not even good. On a national scale, we’ve been having a war-like conflict in places very near my University. In fact, sometimes on occasion, even dangerously near! It forced us to change a lot in my timing and schedules, and I was later busy trying to work this mess off with the rest of my classmates! This happened due to new security reasons which forced the admins of the school to cancel a lot of things, and shorten class times to avoid being responsible of keeping students in the evening when it’s most dangerous! If you like to know more about the current events, click here.

On a personal scale, I already mentioned the mess I’m having with school work, especially now I’m in my final years of my BFA, and my courses had to be taken a lot more strictly! Unfortunately, due to another sudden event, it limited me even further! Two months ago, the Acer laptop of mine, which was at my service for its fourth year of its busy life with yours truly, had “died!” MOST OF MY STINKING PERSONAL DATA IS ON MY LAPTOP!! You may be wondering if I had ever made backups? I never really bothered to, as it’s such a waste of time and money with how much my info is continuously updated! If someone had bought be an external hard-drive, I would’ve been a lot more attentive to backing up anyhow, but as usual nobody listens to me! I guess you know what this means? Yep… even if I could manage to get hands-on a temporary alternative, I wouldn’t have the solid means of finalising my stuff quickly enough. To return solidity, I’ll have to wait until I actually get my old laptop fixed, or, MORE LIKELY, get a new one, which in this case I have to wait FOREVER to get one, as my parents trying to decrease their financial support in favour of only necessities due to their own problems, but that’s yet another story! (Man! I’m stuck in so many story branches!)
I’ll as much as I can to actually do with whatever I got for now.

This is pretty much the horror of a bad news until maybe something bigger happens? Oh well… what could my fate be now?

So… next thing I wanna say. Even if I’m still as active as I usually am, there was a surprising, but not unique, problem occurred with the last Kiriban offer. Apparently, looks like due to deviantART’s technical glitches on milestone pageviews, especially ever 10,000 pageviews beginning from view one per account, two people managed to acquire the 10,000th view on my page! They both had proofs too! They are ~MythTrainerInfinity and ~JordanRinehart.
The problem with this is that there could be only one winner, as per my policies (which is ironic, because the prize for getting the Kiriban is a free request made with my best effort, and ALL POLICIES get cancelled so requesting is totally open). At least, I’m thinking of trying to give a Grand Prize to the winner, and the other can have a consolation or something, since I’m a fairly nice guy. So… to resolve this problem I thought of giving the first one who commented his Kiriban claim the Grand Prize, however, this is a bad idea, because logically, and who knows, the first commenter is not necessarily the first person who acquired the Kiriban, especially with the timing differences between each comment. No… like that it cannot be done.
So… I thought, why not accept both equally? Oh, no worries, only one will get the Grand Prize, but I won’t be the one responsible for the decision. Therefore, I decided to open a new poll, and let the majority of the voters decide who gets the Grand Prize. If you know one of them, vote for him. If you know both of them, vote for the one you like better! (Votes will be anonymous) If you know neither of them, I say check their galleries, judge their art and compare, and then vote for the guy who you believe deserves the Grand Prize more! If you’re one of those two guys, then vote for yourself! Heh…

So, now that I explained it, you can post your vote here.

:iconmythtrainerinfinity: VS. :iconjordanrinehart:

The poll will close by the end of October this year, so you’ll have loads of time to cast your vote, and it’ll insure I get as many votes as possible.

Now, that’s explained, here’s the last thing I wanna mention… or should I say, do!

~LinKueiGrandmaster had tagged me to do this following meme, so I guess I have to do it.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For all those who want to play a line-in-game just check this out:

Tagged by :iconlinkueigrandmaster::

The rules:
"The 1st player of this "game" starts with the topic "6 weird habits/things/hates" and people who get tagged MUST write a journal about their 6 weird habits/things/hates as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose the next 6 people to be tagged and list their names. Don't forget to leave a comment that says "you are tagged" in their devpage comments and tell them to read yours..."

Things I hate:
1.Eggplants
2.Being sexually crazed & deviously oriented
3.Moronity
4.Sony products
5.Promise breaking and cheating
6.Terrorism

I personally tag these six people:
1. :iconclexyoshi:
2. :icontekstation:
3. :icondarkmark:
4. :iconstrange-one:
5. :iconyolin:
6. :iconyohawk:

This is just for fun ^^

Why don't you write short stories?
I like the way you tell things.

Ouch - that's terrible and tragic. Hopefully the fighting will end soon, or at least move away from civilian life a bit.
Words are so cheap and easy to say, and I'm sure it's nearly impossible to know what being so close to a conflict like this is like. Still - my heart goes out to ya, and to Lebanon in general.
God speed, man - hopefully it'll get better.

It's horrible that there are fights in your country. At least you are in one piece. c:
