Apologies to those I still haven't got back to yet. Once again I am very behind with messages!  
Had a few problems lately, and my brother got real sick so I've been taking care of him. He can't really be bothered taking care of himself (most of the time).

And past few days i've been attempting to design a journal skin for installation, but understanding html codes is, for me, like trying to read Japanese, lol.  It's taken up a crazy amount of time, but once i get started on something i don't like to quit.  And so i was just wondering what kind of thing you may look for in a journal skin?  I was thinking too that a custom made css would be a good idea, so artists can add their own image to personalize it.

I seem to spend more time over at facebook these days too... just add me if you'd like.

And so... tonight is May Eve, Beltane. Anyone celebrating that?  I like this time of year, the stirrings of spring.

I seem to spend more time leaving groups than joining these days.  
If they decline your work, yet you followed all their rules, then what else are you expected to do?
Bloody waste of time.

Everywhere you turn, someone is trying to suck the last penny out of you.
I just battled to upgrade my premium membership. I attempted to get just one month via paypal, and the only option they gave me was one year! Not to mention the only options for both one and three months were billed automatically... no thank you!
So I decided to purchase points instead.  Once I had done that I went back to purchase one month... oh no, they only gave me the option of purchasing either three months or a full year!  And I didn't have the choice to purchase the correct amount of points. I had to purchase more than required.
It's not worth it.

GREEDY BASTARDS!

pft. well i had HOPED so. and still do!
 
many of you will have heard something about the great 21.12 date and its relation to the Maya. Well, i won't got into much detail here, but the Maya have never said the world would END. In fact, they say this is a NEW BEGINNING.

Do you know what the word APOCALYPSE actually means?
An apocalypse (Ancient Greek: ἀποκάλυψις apocálypsis, from ἀπό and καλύπτω meaning 'un-covering'), translated literally from Greek, is a disclosure of knowledge, hidden from humanity in an era dominated by falsehood and misconception, i.e. a lifting of the veil or revelation.

Aha!!

It is time for the Earth and its people to evolve. This is spiritual growth, and inner change, and a better way of doing things, for all. Most of you know we can't continue like this... the greed, the corruption, the suppression of technologies, the plundering of resources, and so forth.

To understand the real mechanics of what is going on i recommend this [link]
The Earth is aligning with the central sun of the Milky Way galaxy, the galactic plane, and yep, this alignment is bang on for the 21st. The Maya new that over 5000 years ago!

You are insane.  The way you treat me. You are a being without empathy. You expect me to weep for your problems when so many times you have cast my own aside.
Here I am, with such little sleep. I am tired out of my mind, but i have to get up early just so I can do some things on the internet because you steal so much time from me.  I even now turn down commissions because of it. But i think you like that. Oh my god, how dare i have any success without YOU!  Oh, and if you find out i earned a little extra money, you steal it. Thief!  The money i earn is the money you spend, on yourself.
You never understood the concept of sharing.  Spoiled selfish brat.

You go crazy last night because i told you the computer no longer worked.  No, not that one that broke down 6 months ago which you REFUSE to fix, but now another one. The THIRD broken computer.  You THREATEN me just because i complained... how many times do i have to ask for help, just in the smallest way, and you refuse.
Oh, that's right, i am not allowed to talk to his royal highness when he's playing a stupid online game. No, i have to remain in complete silence, tip-toeing around less I disturb your perfect insane world. You threaten to vandalize my possessions simply because i said i couldn't get the computer to work. How dare i ask for help! How dare i!
All the photos i have lost. All the art and the documents. You don't think they are important to me? I NEED access to them and you have made me wait and wait.  I realize this must be part of your sick game you play with me. You say you don't have time to fix anything... my god, you can spend 8 hours a day watching tv!
I cannot ask you for anything, can I. Not a single damn thing.

Have you ever taken notice of my art? Not that i would even want you to, for any accomplishment is negated by you. You HATE that i can do something that doesn't involve you and your fucking ego.  You steal the laptop from me in order to find someone who will stroke your ego so your little brother doesn't best you in anything. I will ALWAYS be better than you.
And your latest psychotic episode? You steal my camera because you can't stand it that i wanted to take some pictures for a friend... oooh, it just eats you up that i can love someone other than YOU. You delude yourself that I even care about you. You just hate it that the world even sees me. You wanted to confine me, didn't you. You wanted to own me, possess me, and use me for whatever purpose suited you. The sacrifices i made were huge but you don't even acknowledge that. You cannot treat me as a human. I don't know what i am to you! Some kind of object? Your little slave who must do all the duties around here, take on ALL the responsibility whilst you just sit there all fucking day doing nothing, taking your valium and rum and using everyone around you to make sure you always get your fix.

And you SPY on me.  You and your evil henchmen were once watching my every move, reading every word i once wrote.  My first account on DA was destroyed because of that. You even had the family onto me, as if i even wrote anything that could hold me accountable to some terrible plot.  I NEVER said anything wrong, or anything against you but i was ridiculed for having any thoughts or feelings. You just don't want me to have any, to have any desires, any needs which don't include YOU.
What is it? Childhood envy? I just don't know. But you hold something against me that's for sure.  And your wicked mother makes false accusations against me which you, my half-brother, have so often believed. During the worst years of my life, in the time of my depression and close to suicide, my darkness was used against me, as if it was some kind of dastardly game to get my way! Oh sure, i faked 3 years of depression just to extract a little money. You USED me. You actually used my pain and sorrow to get your way.

I am so fucking tired. You make me feel sick. And i know as soon as you wake, you will complain. First thing each morning you greet me with a complaint! You never stop whining, and even when i try to cheer you, you somehow find a way to belittle it.  Have you ever tried to cheer me? No, never, not once. You only attempt to drag me down into your dark pit and hold me prisoner. Dare that i see the light without you, dare that i attempt to escape your clutches... dare that i even SMILE, for that is just a conspiracy to you.

And deep down i think i know what it is you really crave and why you are so vindictive. You miss those "funny little games" we used to play as kids and it just eats you up that i don't want to play with you anymore.

rant over.

i think i need to go back to bed...


ps. don't be concerned. i am strong... in fact, i had to laugh a little when i re-read this... just needed to let it out.

I didn't realize that it had been nearly two months since i last updated my journal... i intended to do weekly updates all along... haha.
And yes, i have my creative energy back partly due to the fact that i have had the laptop to myself and haven't had to share in a while, so i got more time.
I don't really have a whole lot to say... but there is something on my mind, and heart...

I recently met someone who has clarified something for me.  There is a part of me, a BIG part of me, that doesn't belong to the human race (seriously). My closest connections have been with those on the spirit plane (you don't have to believe it, i'm just saying what i personally have experienced). The connection with wolves, and ravens too, is more powerful than i imagined.  And when i meet someone with whom i feel a close bond, it awakens dormant feelings within me.

I don't know what I am doing here, on this planet.  I don't know what i came here for, but i am trying to remember myself, my true nature, and the ancient ones.


that's all.

i just noticed today... gallery pics (the thumbnails) are suddenly a lot bigger! Is it a DA blip? I think it looks better this way.

anyway... i haven't really been doing much here lately. I am so far behind that catching up seems a lost cause. haven't been in the mood to do any art recently either... and i've been spending a lot more time on facebook.

i'm trying to save up for a netbook (so i can get more internet time without always sharing the laptop). I would prefer something better, but it's all i can afford. anyone use a netbook?
i'm flat broke at the moment, so if anyone would like to buy a piece of art, let me know!

there has been no new updates on the possible earthquake/tsunami event... but will post anything important.

facebook.com/wyldraven

UPDATE:

the latest from Mitchell Coombes:
"No 104 hour countdown has been issued yet. I will be posting another 104 hour countdown just like the other three disasters: Japan and CHCH and Cyclone Yassi. So for the next four days you have NOTHING TO FEAR and NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT so live your lives and be happy. We do not want HAARP to go ahead with these attacks. I can't provide a 104 hour countdown if nothing is planned. The fact that there is so much exposure and awareness has slowed them down, partially. These tsunamis have been, and will be MAN-MADE, I am not your typical Harold Camping or 9Nania Doomsday tard. This is DATA we are dealing with here."

posted: 6.30am GMT 17 August


Many failed predictions lately... won't take them too seriously from now on.  

--

UPDATE:

okay, the initial 104hr warning was just a statement that it was coming... the countdown hadn't actually started.  News around is that the earthquake could strike on the 17th.   

This guy is not a psychic.  Word has it that he gets inside information, or is a computer hacker. Because he predicted the Japan Earthquake, Cyclone Yassi, and the Queensland floods, all with 100% accuracy makes him a credible source. But we shall see....

--



Personally i don't really like posting about ominous predictions, but there is a guy on facebook [link] who has predicted  massive earthquakes and tsunamis to strike both Sydney and California in less than 100 hours from now...
i know how predictions can often not come true, but consider this... he predicted the Japanese earthqake in the exact same way, giving about 100 hours notice... and he was right! (His predictions are based on scientific research into hidden technologies that are being used by world governments).

His posting was actually two days ago, so that would make it either tomorrow or Saturday when this could possibly occur



Other news... i am still very far behind here.... over 10000 devs to look through and loads of messages. I will try to catch up!

554 views on my last journal, 1 comment.   kinda weird, lol







facebook.com/wyldraven

Oh wow! thank you so much to the person who gave me a one month subby!!! if you would, please let me know who you are!  this is greatly appreciated!!

on other news... i am still very very far behind with thousands of devs and messages to go through. If anyone feels i have forgotten something important, let me know, as i may have overlooked some things.

and... the Olympics have begun here. i don't follow this stuff, don't really care for it.  I hated sport at school so nor do i care for watching it. It really bores me. If it's meant to stir a patriotic sentiment, that's lost on me too   
BUT if rumours are to be believed, you might expect something 'weird' to happen during the games.  So far i've heard of an imminent 'false flag' terrorist attack and even alien contact. Many say the games are rooted in satanic ritual which is perpetrated by the Illuminati.  Well, if you are curious, i would suggest looking these things up yourself, lol. It's too detailed to go into all that here.

that's it for now

Who's been a naughty boy then?

Well, some of you might remember the Fur Trade journal I did about a month ago. I had a link to a video which featured a segment of animal cruelty.
Fair enough, i did not consider this was a policy violation, so I won't argue at all. And nor do i care who reported me.
To be honest, i was thinking about deleting that journal anyway.  That whole experience had left me depressed, and truly, it sickened my soul to converse on such a topic. My opinion on it will never change.

On other news, my computer has crashed!  I still have the laptop but i have to share it, so my output is low right now... can't get much done at all, and i'm very far behind here already.  I lost quite a few artworks in progress too which i may not be able to recover... got me in a reeeeaallly bad mood.

And, for the poll result on my next topic choice has been basically tied between love/sex and music. They've been changing by one vote daily, so i may as well do 2 seperate polls

One last thing... if anyone wants to add me on facebook, i am here facebook.com/wyldraven

Well, that is according to my poll [link]
what else do you think is kept hidden?
are there loads of conspiracies in this world?
do our governments lie to keep us ignorant and in control?

On May 20th our moon, sun, the earth and the constellation of the Pleiades will align. This video explains it more: [link]

It's interesting to note that ancient civilisations such as the Sumerians, Egyptians, Mayan, and even today's Hopi Indians knew about the Pleiadians.
This is a good video about Hopi prophecy [link]

Many ancient stone structures were in perfect alignment with the constellations such as the Egyptian pyramids, Stonehenge, etc. There is much more to 'human' history than many of us realize.
If you have never seen the History Channel's "Ancient Aliens" series, i would recommend that.

Much has been kept secret, much is hidden from us.  We do not know our true history... but we are finally asking questions... we are waking up.

I like how someone can buy a fur and just because the animal died of natural causes, or was roadkill, that makes it okay?
[link]

This was once a living creature... does it not deserve the same respect as any other? Do we have to put their remains on display or wear them?  This creature had a living heart, a soul, and had it's own personal spirit energy.  
What would anyone think to the remains of a dead human hanging on a wall? What about a human headdress or the remains of a human hand made into a keychain? Gross, right? So why is the attitude different to animals?

And what the hell is this picture doing on an art site anyway??

i feel like saying to the artist "when you get run over by a car, may i rip off your skin and nail it to my wall?"

mankind has within its power to create a perfect world. We already have the advancements in technology, food and medicine... but it's all suppressed in the name of corruption and greed.

if you don't believe me, do a little research

quick edit: as far back as the 1940's, our governments have long known about the magnetic forces around this planet and they know this can be converted to free energy for the entire planet.
cars which run on water have also been invented and work as efficient as any modern day car
but no... lets continue with the polluting fossil fuels... there's more money in that.

1. Attraction: more people seem to like guys with long hair

2. Humour: when you are mistaken for a girl (not ALWAYS funny)

3. Shyness: something to hide behind

4. Sensuality: the feel of long hair against naked skin

5. Originality: there's not really that many guys who have long hair

6. Headbanging:  have you ever seen someone headbanging with short hair? It looks like  they're trying to dislodge a bug from their ear. Hence, my next point...

7. Protection: to keep bugs from flying in your ears

8. Excuse: "I can't go out with you tonight. I'm washing my hair"

9. Sex: something for your partner to hang on to... as if

10. Identity: It's an essential part of who I am

I recently came across this:



Now I assumed most people would have been in support of it. But hell, was I ever WRONG!!
The ignorance of some people is astounding.
They call it 'mutilation' when a girl is circumcised, but there are no campaigns to stop the same mutilation to boys.
Most of the pro-circumcision comments came from females. No surprise!  But guess what? There is more harmful bacteria found in female genitalia than an uncircumcised penis.

Nature intended that males have a foreskin. Nobody has the right to deny this.
