I'm finally convinced that there's no such thing as a "great year" or a "terrible year". A year is just a year, it seems to be some kind of... pattern, if you want to call it that way. Year 2009 had all kinds of moments, it started just regularly, got better, then even better, lots of exciting things happening at the same time, then all those things disappeared or moved to somewhere/someone else and hurt or discourage. And the formula seems to repeat itself; 2008, same thing... regular, more expectations, better, things crash down, back to normality (which means shit-like). 2007... pretty much the same. Before that I don't remember _that_ clearly but it seems to be just a dull, non-surprising pattern. There's no thing as good or bad years at all, some things just happen and then un-happen and then they'll eventually pop up again. Sometimes they'll change its name or appearance, some others they won't.

New year is just that, turning a calendar page, or a change in your computer's clock date. New year's resolutions are quite useless, I am what I am, and that won't be determined by the calendar saying january 1. Things just happen, and what's happening now is that I wrote a not too interesting journal.

At least new year is an excuse for you guys to go and get drunk, hug some people and scream.

And btw, you might wonder, is this a rant or emo speech? hells no. If you know that life is so plain and not surprising and repetitive, that's an even better reason to think it's up to us to decide what will we do about it. We ourselves decide if we'll do exciting things or not, if we want to put effort into goals, if we want to laugh or cry when facing life's threats. It won't be decided by what life looks like, by your preconceptions or by your fears. Fear was created as a tool we use to try harder and overcome stuff. When in battle, a brave man is not the one without fear, is the one who decides to do something when afraid, instead of surrending.

So guys, go out and celebrate new year if you feel like, partying is always good. Run, talk, dance, speak, draw, eat, drink, fuck, feel. Do things instead of thinking, cause you might die tomorrow.

I'll finish this stuff with my favorite John Lennon quote (and one of the best quotes I've ever heard):

“Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans”

My friend is offering commissions at the moment, I really recommend you guys to check his gallery and ask for a cool artwork
We're near christmas so you can surprise your beloved ones with a nice piece of original artwork

Go there, now!

Samples:

It's really a beautiful place to be, and I'm not gonna say much...
Cause images are better than words (yeah I suck at photography, so sue me):

Hello deviants, I took a couple minutes to update my good old journal

I'm currently staying at *Rimfrost's place, keeping her company during her boring exam-reading days and (hopefully) making it less boring and crappy than they usually are, and practicing spanish as well

I hope that after that we're able to do more awesometastic stuff, go to places and all that jazz, you know, stuff to keep you more away from keyboard and closer to real life xD

I was thinking that I may post some photos of here, it's really pretty, but in order to do that, I also think I need more and better pics xDD

So yeah guys, I'm alive and kicking, still, and hopefully will be seeing more cool places and doing nice stuff :3

On a more "official" side, I've been working on a couple secret pieces too, I'm not able to show those at the moment, but I'll find some other stuff to entertain you in the meanwhile

I promise you guys _some_ kind of update at least!!!

take care and wish me luck ;D

I forgot to tell you guys I'm not dead! don't forget to check my gallery from time to time, I am stalking you.

cheers
