Mid-terms are almost done, thank goodness. Got one this Wednesday and one on Friday and then I'll be blasting off back home!
Not much else to report. Something is going on with Tyler and I found out in a not so good way. Back home, my friend Anthony was going off the chain (accusing my friend who he is staying with atm, literally sleeping on a couch, of kicking him out and that she wants nothing to do with him and everyone leaves him eventually, etc.) Not a good situation. And as much I tried explaining to him that she was not literally kicking him out, he wasn't convinced. That was last Wednesday. I messaged Tyler (haven't heard from him in over a week at that point which is really odd considering he always snapchats or messages me or something. We typically talk on the phone every weekend. Yet he was uploading stuff on Facebook, so he hadn't just vanished.) because he was better at dealing with higher levels of emotions and such. Come to find out that apparently we did that to ourselves (meaning how Anthony was acting and since we were friends with him, etc...) and Tyler had too much to deal with and that's when he told me him and the entire company was being deployed next year around this time.
Haven't heard from him yet again and it's been over two weeks. So, there was that bombshell, not hearing from him for weeks, and Anthony going through this thing that I couldn't be there for. Luckily there's only days left before I go back home. Anthony has a girl now that he's been dying to have me meet and she sounds like she'll fit in perfectly with our messed up group xD
The same "rules" apply as they did last time. Throughout every photography category in my favorites, I will choose 10 entries (usually the first 10 that show up, or I begin where I left off) that'll be featured. With every category, I keep a record of who is featured, that way no name gets repeated twice in one category. Only one entry per category.
If you have any specific photos that fit into one of the categories that you want to be featured (yours or someone else's), please send me a note and I'll save that photo for the next feature.

Same Old, Same Old.
Hello! Long time no see, huh? Honestly, I have 0 inspiration or motivation to come onto DA, except maybe for a couple of groups that don't even have to do with photography. There's too much spam, too much AI, many folks are leaving or abandoning their accounts...there doesn't seem to be much of a reason to stay. I haven't touched my camera in months. When you have 95+° days with humidity nine months out of the year, it's hard to get outside for any amount of time. There's only fleeting moments during the rest of the time to visit state parks or go on walks. I do have a question. Is there another photography website that anyone has been posting on that's a better alternative to DA? I'm been debating returning to Flickr, that's the only one I know. I took another long hatius mostly due to holidays and work, but I'm slowly getting back on my laptop. I'd much rather be reading, which I got back into last year. Don't expect many posts though. Until next time!
Is The Hatius Over?
Hello fellow Deviantart folks! I am alive and well, don't you worry. I simply haven't had the motivation to return to DA. I'm assuming I haven't missed much? My photography has been lacking, mostly due to work hours and the weather. I live along the west coast of Florida and the heat/humidity is quickly taking over, making any walk miserable. I'm not a morning person so walking at dawn is next to impossible by the time I awaken and get out of bed. I've added a couple of albums to my computer in the past month or two, but no trips to state parks or anything. Too many people, too hot, and little to no time. This website hasn't given me any incentive to come back, except I'm growing a bit keen to continue my stories, though I'm highly considering starting over. In any case, I've discovered books once more and my small bookshelf has some new additions. My laptop has mostly sat untouched in the past few weeks and I rarely miss it. I used to spend hours and hours on the computer since
First DD?
Well, apparently I got my first DD today. Save the congratulations until after you've read this. Now, before I continue, please note that I am very grateful for this. Do not mistake my rant for ignorance. I just need to get something off my chest. I do appreciate this. I've been on DeviantArt for 11 years. I've seen many changes this site has gone through, many deviants come and go, and seen many artworks. My photography has changed significantly in that timeframe as well as my literature. That being said, of all the pieces I've uploaded over the years, both literature and not, this is the piece that's been chosen? Some 600 word ramble I put together in half an hour? A piece that's hardly connected to my main storyline in that group, just some claim attempt to gain a another herd member? Again, do not mistake my rant for something else, I'm just a bit confused and fustrated. That 600 word piece is barely who I am and what I do. If one of my photographs were chosen, I'd
[ Cottonwood-Valley ] - Herd Trackers.
Greetings! For anyone that follows my adventure through Cottonwood-Valley (a wild horse arpg), both in the group and outside, I decided to finally update my two herd trackers. You can now view the members in each herd with the exception of foals. There's also theme songs, voice claims, and a little information of personalities and backstories. Nothing is written is stone, so details can always change, especially if the horses switch owners. For personal reference, I also keep track of which mares are pregnant. Below are the links to each Google Docs of the two herds and below that is the link to my trading/selling journal for the group. This is only for the Cottonwood-Valley group; all details and designs below to their rightful owners.
