'sup guys? Here's the latest event of the near-end of November:

Recently, my laptop became non-functional as it does not boot up after the start up, and tried the System Recovery and apparently, it refuses to recognize the DVD-R disc, no matter which one I have, so my efforts are fruitless and come to a realization that my laptop is now officially useless, with no way to have it repaired. Since its warranty expired, it would cost a lot of money just to force it to boot up like it normally should. So now all hope is lost for me, so my mom gave me her own laptop to use up until I can get a desktop next year, which is a long and hefty wait. The brighter side? I get to apply for a part-time job so I can earn money rather than to wait for money to drop from the skies so I can purchase it. And please, before you ask, no, I do not know how to build a desktop from scratch, even with a tutorial video on doing so, because let's face it; not only do I have no parts to build a desktop, but the parts I would find IRL are rudimentary at its best (and even has a hefty price to it just to buy one per part) and buying one at the internet is very pricey for each part, if you count shipping and handling, now THAT can be as expensive as trying to design your very own underwater house.

Now, I had a botched Christmas gift last year, which I got an iPad, which behaved NOTHING like any Wacom Bamboo tablets would. If the iPad would be useful, then it would've been useful for drawing too, but nope. Sure it has a lot of drawing apps, but sadly, it doesn't allow itself to have Paint Tool SAI downloaded straight into the iPad, which is a shame because most other graphics tablets allow it, but not the iPad, so therefore, I had to choose the hard way by waiting another 12 months for a Wacom Bamboo tablet so I can perfect my drawings straight away with a single step and slowly and steadily inch my way of becoming a skilled digital artist. I'd draw on a laptop, but sadly, I'd increase the sensitivity level to max so it'll be smoother and less jittery, but even that won't yield any successful results, as compared to a graphics tablet that can do so.

As for college, well guess what? I'm this close to finishing it, so give or take a few weeks for me to finish, but there's a catch; I will have to wait for June 2014 for my college graduation, so next year's gonna a long, long wait for that to happen, but in the meantime, at least I'll be able to apply for a part-time job and earn some money from doing so. I'm not going to lie, going through college has been tedious, demanding, and harsh, especially with exams that often kept preventing me from acing the hole in, and it was mainly from the anxieties that would often cloud my mind and nearly cause me to screw up the exams and almost end up hitting the wall. It was one of the greatest obstacles that's almost impossible to overcome, just like how I can't even come close to overcoming fear of bees and fear of heights, both which are almost like trying to hold your breath for 10 minutes while in space.

Overall, this year has been literally mixed, aside from Season 4 premiere that has gotten my hopes up high and know that despite all the obstructions that would prevent me from ever doing things that I want, especially when it comes to thinking of going to live in Germany in a good few years, as many people would say this, never say never, because even if I want to give up, I'll be able to make a comeback and come out stronger than ever. And the catcher? Since next year is a big event (not going to tell you what, however. That's on the other side of this blog), I have lots of stuff planned out, and believe you me, guys, I'll need much help now more than ever. Think of it as a collaboration work, but only for those who are highly skilled in terms of drawing (and I know that I'll make lots of room for improvements to make up for my completely lost drawing skill), specifically digital ones, if you know what I mean. But, all will be explained in the near future, possibly next month or next year, depending what my state is currently in.

With that said, I will give out my final thoughts for this year's Thanksgiving; I even finished my eight-page essay I needed to hand out for college this Tuesday in hopes of succeeding this simple, yet tedious, task.

For now, I must depart for the night and sleep in a glorious night to dream of the future that awaits me most, even if it means ending up dreaming a bad one. Fare the well, and may the ponies be with you.
