I've been extremely inactive on dA lately and I'm sorry I wasn't able to contact anyone about it. Almost a month ago my internet service was shut off because my family and I are having money issues.

I'm actually updating my journal and several other things right now thanks to a good friend of mine, Kyle Cupp. I don't know where I would be today if I didn't have him as a friend, he's such an awesome guy . I'm staying at his place for a few days and I'm stealing a bit of his bandwidth while I'm here .

Anyway, I just wanted to tell you that I'm unsure when I'll be back for good, but I'm hoping it wont be to long. I can't even remember the last time I did a submission XD. The time and place will present itself to me in good time . Poetry and imagery have been floating around in my head, but it seems like I never have the time or inspiration lately to write it down. Hopefully I'll be able get away from my house and work to embrace the world once more. I cherish the moments I have when I look beyond the passive norm of this world and see it for what it really is.

For those who are concerned, I'm doing better day by day, but I'll be facing a lot of struggles in the upcoming months. I finally have another job, it's part time, but it will suffice for now. My manager and co-workers are great people, working with them is a pleasure compared to my last job XD. It will keep my rent paid off, but it wont be enough to move out of my parents house. As much as I would like to move out at this time though, my family is going through a lot of problems, and I feel I should stick around and support them anyways.

Please keep my sister in your thoughts... she'll be going through open heart surgery in a month, and we're hoping the best for her. I wish I didn't worry so much because I know I have to keep strong for her and be there through it all. Maybe while I'm at the hospital I'll start working on some poetry or something special.

Thank you all once again for all the gift art I've received and for all the wonderful comments I've been given. I wish I could show it in a more proper manner at this time, but hopefully I'll have access to the internet again sometime soon. Much appreciation and respect for you all .
