Enigma

Finished Jeff~ I'm working on a drawing of Jaejoong right now; it shouldn't take long. Then I don't know what I'll draw next. I think I'll go back to reading some Nabokov or Chomsky instead of just rushing into the next piece.

J-bag and poem

My drawing of Joshua Bell. I submitted it a while ago, but I haven't updated my blog recently because I've been busy with stuff. J-bag is my favorite violinist.

--+--

Monotony: the myth of art
suffocation
breathing ashes, a new respiration
un-mends a mellow Heart.
Perpetually absent,
a ruined memoirist,
destroys-to-creates...
mistakes: unreal realized
as Beauty, the imagined aesthetic.

I lost the slip of paper that I wrote this poem on, so I just now re-wrote it from memory as April, National Poetry Month, comes to an end. I said I would write a poem and so I have... It was written out, originally, as a metered poem, but since I can only remember the main lines, it's ok like this... who needs all the other useless filler words?

Anyway, I'll be busy again. Working on a color pencil drawing of Jeff Hardy. I have some WIP of it, but I'll keep those "private" until I'm done.

Federer, you damn cry-baby
Ah, so Nadal lost. I know, but Federer lost too... and everyone's making a big deal out of it (with Nadal, it was an "amazing disaster" but his clay court season starts soon and he'll win again).

Federer had all the attention when he was winning--talking about how he'll be the greatest ever--and now that he's losing, I'm glad everyone's rubbing his nose in it. Andy Roddick (Quickly-Leaves-Tournament) was right when saying Federer deserves to have everyone feeling like they can win matches against him now. Murray, who won the tournament, should be number 3 in the world and Djokovic can settle with 4... but I don't mind having Djokovic there either. As long as each does their part to beat Federer, the world of tennis is good.



There's Lee Junki. Yeah, Eire did the colors there. It's cool.

April's Fool? That's just you~


Submitted a new drawing of Jaejoong in deviantart yesterday. I finished Rafa's drawing, although I'll probably work on minor parts off and on, though. Got Arias to learn now; opera should lend itself to the flute, but who knows.

I wish it wasn't so damn windy outside. And I'll work on more jewelry tonight if I don't start drawing something new.

Also, April is National Poetry Month, so I want to write a poem! Haha. I'm completely lame sometimes... sometimes. 8D

So she said



^ I submitted the drawing of Stuart. Next submission will be Jaejoong. Hm, I'm working on a drawing of Rafa, too. It's in a very primitive stage right now; I have all the shading down, I just need to add the details... and it'll be the best ever! Haha, just kidding; but I really want to take a lot of time on it and see how well it can be. I think I'll try color pencil more often this time around with my next round of deviations... too early to be thinking that far ahead, though. ;x

I feel pretty sick too... light headed. I should try to rest for the next few days and get better. 5 hours of sleep a night for a month is a killer. I think we're having steak for dinner. Must buy bread. And a1 sauce? soda? I'm going to be up late tonight and sleep in. That's it.

Oh, and I was on the bus today and apparently, I'm too weak to even ring the buzzer for my stop! Hahahaha, it's almost as funny as the time some older woman grabbed my neck to steady herself; if I were any animal other than a dull human, that might have been deadly.

Ok, no more random stories for today~

Because, I can
Rafa won Indian Wells~ He's so great, ne? Winning all the time. Next he'll play at the Sony Ericcson Open, so I hope he wins there. Andy Murray was no match for Rafa in the finals; and Quickly-Leaves-Tournament aka Andy Roddick showed a lot more talent than Murray! Why are they both Andy, btw? Andy Warhol, Andy Murray, Andy Roddick... Andrew must be a crappy name. Haha, side tracked; vamos Rafa~~

And today we made copies of our art--by we, I mean Eire and I had copies made. We had to find a new place to go to because the other one moved accross town; this place was just around the corner and the jovial man who runs it is a lot better than the woman who worked at the other place. So, I'll probably have something to submit in a couple of weeks... Finished Gackt today, too! Just in time. I stayed up late to work on it.


To end this post with something just totally unrelated and pointless to my display of intelligence:

Jaejoong Funny



What I watched today after typing in my favorite keywords on youtube:
Jaejoong Funny.

So cute. That should have been Jaejoong Cute. Needs to be corrected. I like Whatever They Say, too.

Oooooovertime, this week.

See ya next week blogger.

Stolen Days

My new deviantart ID.^

Again Overtime: Another day stolen from my life. Haha, I spent yesterday doing as little work as possible and cracking jokes all day with Jamie. "Speaking" of Jamie, today I saw the newest book in the series of book we have been reading! I didn't expect it, but I saw it on the shelves of new arrivals. I'll have it read before him~

Starting a new drawing... of Jaejoong. Eire painted the background for me, and I'm drawing on it with pencils. That's the new "style" I've been messing with, but it's nothing to start a new life on. I'm not certain how this drawing will come out but it'll be ok. The color pencil drawing of Gackt didn't work out so well... will I finish drawing or just leave it to rot? I hate doing this to drawings... and I have another one I was just messing around with... it imitates Mucha's style a little, but since I was drawing a man in the picture, it doesn't have the same flowing quality to it.

Reading about tennis lately... because I haven't had time to watch. Rafa's been out with an injury and so is Federer. Actually, I'm wondering if Roger has some issues with crying like a damn baby that he can't get over... back injury. Pfft.

Certainly, I can not wait until spring! When it'll be warm and I can go to the parks and stuff again. I miss seeing the green leaves on the trees and the storms… Well, this blog entry has been pretty pointless. Hahaha, but no one should be reading this crap expecting to see Gackt naked or something. xD

Daydreaming


Well, instead of typing in the usual "Jaejoong funny" at Youtube, I watched some old Tackey & Tsubasa videos instead, just to be nostalgic. I still think their music is cute and fun to listen to. Tsubasa looks cuter with his longer hair, btw. I'll never accept his short hair when he gets hair cuts!

I've been pretty busy trying to finish up my art. I finished my masterpiece and now I'm just trying to strive through my latest piece on Gackt. It's a color pencil piece, but Gackt photoshopped his nose away so it's looks lame. And he's wearing those stupid contacts to make his irises look larger (why can't they he be happy with the way his face is?).

Hm, I had overtime last week, and I finished my last commission. I don't really want to draw them anymore for people. I hate the references or they just have visions and ideas I can't do. I'm not that good of an artist, or even a good artist. Especially if my mood is not right, then it changes how I draw. I can't have people messing with it. Haha, Koreans have a word for this, and I actually understand what they mean.

I wish... Well, I know I can fulfill my own wish if I just settle the issue I have with someone at work. I really wish David H. would get it. If someone says, "What do you want? Maybe you shouldn't come up here anymore," you think they would read the signs. Idiotic. I can't even feel sorry for him either, because he's older than I am! If you're older than I am, and you don't understand, then you're just being dense. Sorry, this paragraph makes little sense to anyone but me, I know. xD Haha, but it's just getting very annoying. Every damn day this ghost keeps coming back!

Finally, if Stephanie would get it together, I could finish getting the rest of the sheet music for her! I got the Brahms' Hungarian Dances, but she's still taking forever with the bass clarinet stuff. I bet she died. Haha, just kidding, but I don't think it's that hard to do, especially when she said she would have it finished last Saturday. xD Oh well, she can just wait. Annyong!

Love is dangerous...
So Rafael Nadal wins the Aussie Open~ I'm surprised because he continues to improve all the time. Vamos Rafa~

Anyway, I think it's a little annoying... how Roger had to start crying like that at the end; it ruins the ending for Rafa. How can Rafa celebrate without looking like an ass if your opponent is crying like a baby? And Rafa had to remind Roger how many championships he has won--I don't care if Roger is chasing Pete's record, it's still a patsy move of him to cry like that.

I'm still happy about the outcome, though. Rafa is the first Spaniard to win the Aussie Open and this is his first hard court title! Vamos. rofl Eire and I were heckling Roger throughout the match (I mean, imagine that at 3am. rofl)~ That's what makes it even more fun to watch is when everyone in the room is cheering for Rafa. Let's see... what were some of the funny ones? "C'mon Rafa, hit it up Rog's pooper?" No... "vamos Ralfalfa?" (you know... like the Little Rascals?) Hahaha, no there were some more but it's probably better I don't write them down. xD

Anyway, today I picked up my Fantasy Pieces Opus 2 by Carl Neilsen. It was re-arranged for flute so it should be good. Who plays the oboe anyway? Haha, and I got Chopin's piano concerto no.2 CD too. That's one of my favorite compositions. I think I'll try to start on some new art since I gave Stuart's picture to him and the other commission pieces I'm supposed to do are being taken care of by Eire. rofl, outsourcing, I know. So, yeah, that should be interesting. I'm not sure of what it will be. Also, I'm still studying my Korean. I had to re-start because I sorta lost my concentration and motivation there for a little while. Oh, and this weekend I heard the Met perform Verdi's Rigoletto~ What an awesome opera. I know, that makes me... slightly smarter than the average Ralfalfa Bean. :)

Jaejoong~

Another birthday candle


Yep, it's Jaejoong birthday. Submitted his birthday art. Rafael is going strong at the Aussie Open, and I'm about to eat Korean food.

Um, almost finished Stuart's portrait, and then I'll start on... Yunho or Micky Yoochun. Don't know which. Um, I don't know. Over time? Sucks? Uninteresting because I don't really have time to do anything. But today... will also buy Jeff's magazine. Have to see that. Tata~

Outsource this
I fell asleep watching tennis this morning. I was trying to stay awake to watch Rafa, but he didn't play right away. I woke up to watch his second and third sets though. He won 6-0, 6-2, 6-2. I kept having dreams about tennis when I fell asleep because I left the TV on. Haha, hilarious.

Yesterday Eire and I went to the art store and bought some more art supplies (Eire bought useless crap and I bought some stamps? No I didn't actually because the stamps were too expensive. But I did end up spending 42 dollars there somehow. Godlessness!). Started on a new picture of Jaejoong. Have one already finished. I feel like I'm not doing anything new with just pencil work, so I don't know what to do. Submitting Changmin today.

Next week is Mr. Kim's birthday~ I'm planning on going to the Korean restaurant for that day. ^^ I feel like I have a million things I need to do. Well, at least it's not arctic anymore outside.

Just when I thought winter wasn't really that bad...
I submitted two deviations of Jaejoong and Gackt. I like both pieces of art. I haven't really drawn anything new lately at home. Finished an ink and pencil of Lee Junki and started a drawing of Jaejoong too. I have one of Micky I could start, but yeah, very busy lately. Actually, I'm always busy. American Idol comes on tonight. I have to study and practice my Korean.

New Year's resolutions. I decided on some. Be nicer to the people I don't like and talk more often to the people I do like. Ah, anyway, I'm working on them, but I have the whole year right? Hahaha. And I think it's awesome how the world kinda works things out right... keke.

Oh did I mention how cold it is? Today it was like -18F/-28C. That's cold. But the wind chill wasn't too much of an issue because it wasn't windy. But I think it's supposed to be coldest on Thursday so I hope it really isn't that bad.

Did I mention I finished My Girl? Everyone in my family except Eire watched it all the way through. Eire only paid attention towards the end. rofl. :)

Oh yeah! It's almost time for the Australian Open! Vamos Rafa! I know he won't do so well (and why did I use 3 exclamation marks?). Last year he lost to Tsonga in the Semifinals (haha, like that's not good). I think Murray will win, but he might not, you know. Maybe he'll just falter under the pressure. And I haven't noticed Djokovic lately either in the warm-up tournaments. He's ... oh wait, I looked it up. He was at the Brisbane Open, he just lost really early. Hahaha, he's going to lose at the AO. xD

Ok ok, I can't wait.

When you say nothing at all...
Woooooooo. I watched part of the King and the Clown (wang ui namja), but the disc was funked up so I couldn't watch anymore. Had to return it. I'll just buy it somewhere where it isn't a fake rip off. But instead of that, I got My Girl episodes 1-16 on DVD so I'll just watch Lee Junki in that instead. Moreover, I've seen The King and the Clown but not My Girl, so it'll be something new. I haven't watched that many Korean dramas besides the banjun dramas with TVXQ and a couple of episodes of a drama that Rain was in. I'm a little excited.

Submitted Yunho on deviantart. I'm happy with the way this was scanned and the outcome on the web. I'm not sure what I'll submit next, but it'll probably be Lee Junki's since I'm talking about him lately.

Baby Jaejoong and my life

I know I haven't updated in a while. Just busy with the holiday season and getting things ready. Had to go to post office and mail off my drawings, and started working on a new drawing of Tsubasa Imai. I haven't planned it all out yet, but I think it'll look fine when I'm finished. Need to get books, get my Lee Junki comes in (why couldn't it be today? I want to see Wang ui namja//The King and the Clown on television, not just on my computer with crappy translations), and what else... watch Advent Children, or it'll just sit there and rot.

Oh, and that's a picture of Jaejoong as baby. I don't know why I'm posting it because it doesn't have anything to do with my blog, but but but... but, he was a cute baby. Changmin was a cute baby too. I was a cute baby. Geez, we were all cute babies. Hahahaha.

LIBRARIANS ARE LIARS
So today I go to the library to settle an issue with a book I returned that was billed as having water damage. The library claims I returned the book wet. Now, that's a lie. ALL OF THIS IS LIES. Why would I return a book that was still wet? Fook, that's totally illogical. No one would return a book that was still wet/damp to the touch. That's idiotic. And so I tell this to the woman, and she says, "a lot of people do that." No. they don't. NO ONE DOES THIS. That's ridiculous. LIARS.


The people there are such dickfaces compared to the other branches, though. They're always giving me trouble. This is the second time I've talked to their supervisor. I wonder if there's a way to complain to someone that matters? How can I bring this all the way to the top of the system? Because it's wrong to try and make me pay for a book that was "water damaged" when I checked it out--why should it be my fault for their carelessness in checking books that are damaged? And it's not the first book I've seen that has water damage on it and is still on the damn shelves...


And the loser in all of this isn't me. Despite being billed with 26 dollars for the "damaged" book, the library will be losing out on 44 items I have checked out currently. I can't check out any more books? Fine, I'll just start my own library starting with 44 items that used to belong to the public library, but were forfeited because the librarians are outright liars. I don't care, I don't care, I don't care, I don't care, I don't care, I don't care, I don't care, I don't care. Hahaha.



This is not the picture I am drawing, but I love it still.


Another one. Anyway, I'm working on finishing my color pencil one of Jaejoong. ChrisDayo, and nation: I have finished the Gackt drawing (listening to Jesus right now, too). It looks pretty good. Each time I draw something new, I try to make it better than the last one. And, so this Jaejoong color pencil one looks pretty good so far. I think it'll look like one of my best drawings if I can finish it without messing up and according to the vision in my mind.

Rainism. Haha, that song will now be stuck in my head.

Flute and layout
I decided I'm going to learn Mozart's Flute Concerto no. 1 properly. I only practice the second movement normally, but I've really gotten to enjoy the last movement, so that will be my goal. TO BE COMPLETED WHEN I FEEL LIKE IT. That's how motivated I am. I also have a couple of other pieces that I picked out. A book of French favorites -- they're all easy pieces, but that might be best for me to play expressively, which is how I love to play the most. With Mozart, your ass better be on time otherwise you sound so amateur.


I also put a new layout up. It was made by Carol, so it should work in firefox... I hope. But if it doesn't, that's ok because it's featuring the one and only Jaejoong~ Speaking of which, I didn't finish Gackt last night. I started drawing and got really tired. Haha, so I'll finish that tonight and start on the color pencil drawing of Jaejoong. Then, I'll make the copies and send them off to Demona Pink to scan for me.

Why is cyworld always down when I want to log in? Damn timezones. Haha~ No wait, it's loading, just really slow...

Haha, and I heard some stranger listening to Hug today by TVXQ! What are the odds? I should have said to them, "Haha, Jaejoong Kim is the cutest, yeah?" just to look like a crazy person or something. :)

WRONG number


Yes, I'm finally getting around to watching TVXQ's wrong number. I saw it over on Carol's blog over a week ago, but didn't have the "energy" to watch it. I don't know, they're all growing up and professional now. It's amazing. Haha, I'm proud of my boys. Oh, and I did not know that was Jaejoong rapping. I knew Yunho rapped the second part, but I just assumed the first part was Yunho too because he and Micky get to rap all the time. Haha, I can even recognize my Jaejoongie rapping (Haha, because he doesn't get to do so). Anyway, I forgot what else... oh yeah, the dance looks nice and I love their fashion. I wish I had clothes like that. I'm damn skinny: it's a shame! xDD Just kidding, I would hate myself for wasting so much money on clothes when there are more important priorities in life such as telling Yunho to put some clothes on! I'll stop, I'l stop. This can go on forever. Talking to myself like a crazy person in a park. Hahahahaha. Before and After: Crazy in the park Yoochun.

--
So to more on to more saner topics, today I had to work overtime at work, I didn't want to (who does?), but I did anyway just so my team members wouldn't have to suffer without me. Haha. Anyway, need to finish my drawing of Gackt tonight and start on another color pencil one of Jaejoong! I can't wait. I'm going to stay up late if I can and get to work. I'm getting tired of drawing with pencils because it's so epic and gah... so hard. -_-; But I also been wanting to do this Jaejoong one for a while now.

What ever. No more numbers in my post titles.

This picture is cute.

Anyway, I'm tired of remembering what number to title my posts and I can always look up how many posts I have anyway. Haha. God, anyway, I have so many messages and deviations to look through on deviantart. Also have to finish my Gackt drawing at home. I hope to have new art up sometime in December. Things never work out like they should in my life, so I can't really put a timetable on things.

I also wish people would know you can't use copyrighted pictures to make graphics on deviantart. I never report people because I hate the system there, but still. When your gallery gets deleted, don't complain about how you're going to quit because you can't anything else to do with Photoshop.

Don't know. That rant is not directed towards anyone in particular, but I see it a lot on deviantart.

I guess... I don't know, I just hate seeing people put a lot of work into their wallpapers and banners knowing they're playing with poison if someone gets jealous and reports them.

12. Moneeeeeeey & Rafa


So Nadal is out of the Masters Cup with his knee issues. I hope anyone but Federer or Djokovic wins now. God, why can't Rafa be there? I don't want to see Djokovic or hear about Federer and his fat girlfriend...

I wish I had the money to renew my subscription to dA, but I have to wait until I have the money. Then I will subscribe for a year so I don't have to deal with this again.

Can't find a new picture of Hyde to reference. Tired of the old one. Already have enough Jaejoongs, so I should probably draw someone else. Gonna draw Gackt, that's just how it's going to be.


Damn, I hate deviantart now. Hahaha.

.number 9 and a half, more
Oh, I just want to say these little dancing TVXQ gifs things on Cyworld are the cutest. If I had more dotori, I would buy them all.

Also, EIRE dissed Jaejoong in his blog. So I'm going to retaliate: HYDE IS OLD. I have to draw him anyway. And Jaejoong's marshmallow face is much cuter than old leather skin Hyde. I like Hyde, but still, I have to diss him. Just to be crazy. Eire also made a funny gif of Jaejoong. xDDD

Finally, I'm starting a new picture of Changmin. There will be a new drawing of Changmin when I'm finished with this set. I'm not giving up~

.7777 my dream
I think it's nice to have appreciation for the stuff you do and work on. Anyway, I finished my drawing of Jaejoong in color pencil, and I'm starting another Jaejoong on blue paper. Changmin ; I've given up on for now.


I had a weird dream last night. There was a really dark and bad storm outside with like 10 tornados happening all at once. And then the sky cleared up really quick, and the sky was filled with like 6 rainbows all at once with their arcs spreading out in different directions. I was trying to take their pictures from a top a tall building and I was surrounded by Greek or Roman columns. It was actually a really beautiful dream; I have no idea where it came from.


Anyway, need to buy that damn Coldplay CD. And drink COKE~

05 drawings and cats
Finally watched the Mirotic MV because I finally got my CD (note: I don't watch the MVs until I get my CD and I don't listen to samples either). Gotta say it was nice, but something seems like it was missing. The entire album feels that way, but I'm liking it the more I listen to it.


Supposed to look for new pictures to draw. Last night, figured out my recent drawing of JJ wasn't going to look as good as I thought. So I'm going to just add a bunch of designs to make it look better. It's like dressing up a donkey in a prom dress, but JJ doesn't look like a donkey at all. I'll admit though, my recent drawing does him little justice. Hahaha. I can't draw Changmin. No matter what I do, he doesn't look right. His nose, eyes and mouth. I capture none of his essence, and I do like Changmin~ so I don't know what my problem is. Maybe I'm forcing it.


So I've drawn Yunho, Lee Junki, and JDYL for my next set of drawings. That's pretty good, but I really wanted to draw a nice picture of Changmin.


I feel stupid for looking at pictures of Cats~ I need to draw my supervisors cats for her since I said I would. Haha, she saw me drawing my Yunho drawing at work, so I said I'd draw her cats for her--Mayan and Montana. Shouldn't take that long because cats are pretty easy. It's on white paper with two black & mostly white cats. Haha.


Anyway, have to go shopping for food next. All we have is Coke and cucumbers. rofl

Post 1
So I went out and purchased MIROTIC. Honestly, I didn't really go out and do it, but I ordered. It should be here in a few days. Can't wait to hear it. I chose the version with the DVD since my player at home can handle it (YA says it Region-free, but you can't trust those sites when they're just trying to make a buck the best they can).


Also, I finished designing the blog for the most part. If I join fanlistings or something, I'll find a place to put those too. At first, I didn't like where this layout heading, but once I got the CSS and stuff into place it started to look nice.


Finally, I went to Michael's with Eire and bought more art supplies. I'm ready to finish my piece on Lee Junki. Hopefully I won't goof those up. Update again later.
