Deviation Actions
I just want to get one quick thing out of the way. I usually praise dA when I talk about it. Now it's time for some constructive criticism, and I'm positive it has to do with results to a recent survey or two they've conducted about how their site is utilized. I'm not really digging the whole "endless scroll" design for folders and galleries that's tailored to tablets and smartphones. I liked the pages that separated the amount of deviations you were allowed to display at once. At least when I would scroll through it either on a tablet or my desktop, it didn't automatically moved the pieces I was scrolling through automatically move up. See, that's a problem I have with most tablets and smartphones. I feel the technology still has some caveats it needs to fine tune. So if you notice my featured gallery might be missing a thing or two, that's why. I used to try to maintain a top ten style of pages. I've got plenty more submissions in my eight years here (it's been eight years?) that will fill up much more than ten pages. Whether I like it or not, which I actually am finding use for it, I do own a tablet, but I don't have the dA app. The dA app is more user-unfriendly than pulling up the page on a tablet or smartphone in a browser. It feels like it works against you in the most simple tasks, or complicates said tasks more than they need to be. The more I think about it though, perhaps the featured gallery is a thing of the past for me. I've evolved from posting MOTUC mix-n-match figures with back stories, CAWs, naked pictures of my wife and now parody songs with links to the videos. Of course, there's plenty of things I do that don't fit into just those categories, and that's okay too. Then everything comes around full circle again. I'm doing the things that I loved doing when I was in college. The only limits I have on expressing myself here are self-imposed. It's just the means I have to do so have changed in a manner that I'm not crazy about.
Now, to move onto something I am crazy about, at least there's video game publisher who likely feels this way after last night. I'd like to spread the message of #HeManForInjustice2 There's probably only a few of us He-Fans on good ol' Twitter doing something about this. It was also started by He-Man.org. I don't consider myself to be on the best of terms with them and am still kinda self-exiled from their forums. Long story. Point is: the ORG posted the previous hashtag calling for people to tweet Ed Boon to convince NetherRealm Studios to include the DC Comics He-Man to be a guest fighter as DLC for the upcoming Injustice 2 title. That game already looks badass. I do plan on getting it. In fact, I skipped WWE2K17 because my wife's PS4 doesn't have a enough room to accommodate both games. Until we get a PS4 Pro... Right?
Anyway, here's He-Man.org's tweet

So yeah, I need to wrap this up to I can get ready for work. Kinda sucks that I talked more about my issue with dA's new design on here. I think it's easy to catch my drift. If they put He-Man in the game, I'd be pre-ordering that thing a year ago. Just saying.

2K, Love Ya, Buh-Bye
Just took a vile, watery crap and figured I would come here because some of my thoughts are a little too big for Twitter. Yes, I know it's called X, but that's not what anyone types into the url. Last time I posted a journal on here, I was complaining about my mother. That was nearly a year ago. I've been mostly absent on here and it hasn't exactly been by design. There's a lot of things I used to share on here that I miss diving into with lots of passion, regardless of the quality of my product. Now, I must admit I have quite a few responsibilities bigger than me, and my time online doesn't exactly afford me the most optimal experience on this site. It's 100% me, and not anyone here or the entire dA experience itself. Could you argue there's some growing apart? That's valid. I haven't exactly felt the need to pour myself out online like I did with the pitch-black liquid shit I took a few minutes ago. Currently, I'm a little relieved even if I didn't achieve my goals with my
I Think You Owe Me an Apology
How do I start this? I’m hungry and kinda sickly from eating one of those Dolly Parton brownies a few hours ago. The brownie tasted good. The rich sweetness lingering in my system isn’t very much so. No, there’s something else lingering in my system. Contempt, resentment, and over-all feeling un-fucking-appreciated. Yes, this is about my mom and my goddamn birthday. Considering how I’ve decided at times to spend my birthday, my ire is not borne from selfishness. My birthday has been wasted in at least two technical rehearsals and working follow spotlight for three different musicals in college. I had to take my oldest son to the emergency room when he was almost five months old because he had RSV, and my wife and I spent three days sleeping on a fucking hospital floor. I chose to take him to Incredible Pizza and to the Lego Movie a few years later. On my 30th birthday, my mom bought me a fucking tablet I didn’t want nor express any interest in only because she really wanted
Quarter Pounder
Pining for the days I used to be addicted to this site. It's slightly difficult when I don't have anything to contribute. There was a time I had something to say at least once a month on here. Last thing I had to write about was very short and nearly four months ago. I can't believe I've gotten to the point where I'm okay with being lazy. A big part of my silence and lack of productivity is from trying to plan a summer vacation for my family. There are also financial woes that are and are not associated with that. Despite appearances at times, I'm actually good. I'm not really pissed off about anything. To an extent I've become comfortable with my bitterness. I don't know how to describe it. Like I was telling someone at the 9 to 5, my stress falls on this damn trip we're trying to budget and plan for. That's got my attention as well. My birthday's coming up soon and I'm not angry about it like I used to get. I'm going to have a 10 day staycation. I'm not subconsciously
X-Mas in October
The older I get, the more I detest x-mas. We aren't even to the halfway point of October and I'm already experiencing x-mas trying to creep into everyone's collective spotlight. The first evidence I saw of this was on Twitter. Someone posted pictures of x-mas lights being sold in Target around Labor Day. Seriously? At my 9-to-5, I've received three different emails about x-mas bullshit, and I'm just starting my second day for this week. Why does America have to go out of its way to start some holidays fucking early? Are we all about hype for hype’s sake at this point? Independence Day is a great example of this. A month in advance this year people were shooting off fireworks in my neighborhood almost every night. I get the week before, but practically a month? Come on! I can dig on Halloween, but this crap started the first week of September. Usually right after x-mas, Wal-Mart goes into Valentine's Day mode by the end of the year. A few days after Valentine's you get the
