President Truman kept a placard on his desk at the White House, it read "The buck stops here." Well, I'm stopping the buck. My employment situation hasn't been taken seriously by those who were supposed to help me with it (that's a shot at Workforce West Virgina), so I'll be better off taking full control of my own efforts and seeing where I can take me.
The talk of dreams and goals that I heard in a speech the other night made me think about what I can do well, and that I still don't know what I want to do with my life. I decided that maybe I want to do what I can do well after all. I've already set a goal for myself, and I'm working at it as best I can, but I think now I'm going to take that goal even more seriously than I was even a week ago. I'm going to apply everything I've got into this thing and if I'm lucky, but the end of this year have something positive to post here.
I still dont talk of the details formy project, that's because I want my project to be a surprise, and I want it to have the best chance for success. A lot of prepress on it would only cheapen the final result, so I'm keeping what I'm doing to myself for now. I promise you though I'll post news of it here when the project is done and ready for the public eyes.
Oh, I'll have Sanosuke finished this weekend, but I can't upload him. Since the scanner is on my main computer it's out of the question for me to risk another overheat just to scan it in. It'll be up as soon as I can manage to get it scanned though.

If you caught my note in my last post's comments, you would have done the click drag, or select all on the page in question to see the hidden text, but I'm too tired to even go there right now. I was just making sure my main content area was being read, which I'm still not enitely sure it is. I'll have to do a more subtle surprise test on you guys another day.
I've got stuff I need to go through, I've got stuffI could get rid of, but I'm too tired to handle that right now. My energies need to be focused on my work situation, and casual organizing can wait. I know the feeling though, doing what seems like a lot and looking back to see so little done.
"Konban wa" is "good evening" in Japanese, "konnichi wa" is usually regarded as "good day" a more general term and one more recognized I'll bet.
I'm a jinx when it comes to employment offers and applying for jobs so I'll abstain from commenting on your prospects. I don't need to share my bad "luck" in that department with anyone else.
Do that, and make a back-up copy too! I hope my suggestions are coherent enough for you to work with, I tend to talk over people's heads when it comes to that stuff some times. If you have any questions come on back and throw them at me, I'll do what I can to answer. SCanning images, especially hand drawn sketches is tough to do at first, what I know I learned through trial and error, so I'm happy to pass along what I know to save someone else a few hours of frustration.

Camp huh? Hope it was a fun experience for you.
I'll try to get over there sometime soon, I do want to visit all the friends on my list eventually, but I can't do that on my laptop (you ever try to navigate the net with a 2" touchpad?) so it'll have to wait till I get my main machine back in commission. Chances are that I have stopped by a page or two in the past, but didn't leave a comment because I didn't think I could offer any words of substance to the topics. I'm weird that way. Maybe I should reformat so I'm not making comment driven posts.
You'll pardon the muffled snickering in the background, but I'm in one of those sarcastic moods and in my head that sounded so wrong. I'm always looking for a steady paycheck job, that won't change because I have new motivations. I've made my choices, I know where I want to take myself in terms of promoting financial self-support, and I don't expect it to be easy. I have to be willing to use my talents, use the skills I have, to make something happen. If I don't take action on my own and see things through, then I'll be no better than the degenerates and rejects who have failed in their duties as state employees to see that one job seeker was treated with fairness and respect after being discriminated against by their own system. I'll go down fighting hard, I won't give up because of a bump in the road or two. I'll be able to say "I gave it my all, I did my best." either when I do succeed at something, or when I'm left no alternatives.
Anime Dreams!
