Samapuma's Soft Spots

Hi everyone... I have bad news... My house was broken into yesterday and my laptop with ALL of my work on it was stolen, along with my Wacom tablet. Though, they forgot to take the stylus for it, it still has hit home hard. They also took all of my check stubs for my two jobs...which means they mean to hurt me financially as well. I have already called the fraud protection line and put my soc and everything on alert. It's really sad people like this live, and to what purpose that they mean only to take what other have. It's really sad. I am currently going to have to look for a new place to live, since I know that if they break in once, they'll do it again. This comes at desperate times since I was planning to go to Ohayocon. In fact, I was supposed to be calling the hotel this Monday... But I cannot overlook these evil people plotting to steal away my hard earned money and time. So most of my art pieces that were being worked on are back to square one... *sighs* Thankfully, my fiance still has his tablet, but we'll have to share once again, till we're able to get a new tablet. I'm sorry for any inconvenience that this has caused.

Hey, everyone!! I'm sorry I've not been able to post much online. I've been so swamped with working the two jobs that I really don't have time even when I'm off work to post and keep in touch. My sites have been grossly neglected and that has been bothering me. I'm almost out of debit. I have a large electric bill and one last bill to take care of and I'll be debit free. I've been working soo hard to move on and I've even been able to save money...and spend it as well since I'm still strapped for cash, but not as bad. I hope to this year to find a new job and start relaxing more now that I've axed most of my bills.

So I'm sure you're wondering what I've been doing? I've been getting ready for Gencon and Inconjunction!!! I had a nice tax return and I'm using it to pimp myself this year!! The year of the rat is my year, and it's time to stop waiting anymore, and reach out and grab before it flys away. I have several project lined up for completion. I've also settled on an eye style. For those of you that have known me through the years, it's always been a big problem of mine. I've never been satisfied with them and I've changed my eyes like I change my clothes. so I'm ecstatic about that as well. I hope you like them. =@__@= Nyah!!

Well, I also want to take this time to thank you all for watching me..even when I've been under the weather and not being able to post. I've been through a very stressful time and it is getting better. I wish you all the best and thank you for everything! =^__^=

Unfortunately everything else is on the back burner till this is finished... *sighs* I so don't have any time......

Well, I'm getting over another cold, but it is getting better. I'm also ecstatic about the movie, 28 Weeks Later!! It's the sequel to 28 Days!! I can't wait to see how much more scarier it will be compared to the first movie. I hope. So I will list off the projects I intend to do, though not in any particular order, for now.

1)Uriko's tf project possible 15 pics...not ready to start as of yet...
2)Tf one-shots for each 100th member for both tf groups; 8 pieces to do, restarting the pictures
3)Fionacat piece - Done, Inked, need to be scanned, and colored.
4)Kouji-cloud piece - Need to finish the pencil work, then I will ink, and color it.
5)I will not be joining Yerf or VCL as of yet... I've rejoined FurAffinity. Hopefully, it will not go under like it did before....I had to restart my account with them. *sighs*
6)I will be breathing life into my groups again. So I'll be working on the eevee series with fresh images. I was unhappy with the original pics. Sorry!

I will start organizing them in priority rating later. As soon as I get the bigger projects done, namely, #1&2, I will start taking commissions.

Well, I haven't posted for a bit... Things have started to clam down for me. I'm looking for a better job, possibly a state job. Mainly, I need the money. I've had a lot of time to work on pieces, though my scanner is total crap. So I've had to use a digital camera. The only bad thing is I have to learn to use the camera well, and have plenty of light. Though, I am learning how to use it. Let's see, artwork I'm doing... I know, beat me... Life just sucks a@# unfortunately. I try to have a very optimistic look on life. Though, what's wrong with a bit of solemness in your life??

1)Uriko's tf project possible 15 pics. I have planned out what will happen so I just need to start this piece. :)
2)Tf one-shots for each 100th member for both tf groups; Okay, I have work done on at least three pics colored and finished. I have two pictures inked and three sketched that need to be finished. Though, my digital camera has be difficult about taking the pictures so it's been frustrating trying to get a good shot of them. *sighs* I'm going to try again today to see if I can get a good shot.
3)Fionacat piece - I am currently inking. The picture(unfinished) is posted on dA!! Thanks for the Deviant art subscription!!!
4)Kouji-cloud piece - I decided to go with a group pose on a dock off of a lake for the final idea. It is also posted on dA, too
5)I am going to shoot for VCL. Yerf seems to still be having technical difficulties...that won't go away. It's really too bad. I really wanted to join there. It's there that I first fell in love with bara-chan's work there. She now on dA and has been there for a while!!! She has really improved a lot!!!!!!!!

Well, enough of that rambling...I have gained another website...called hi5! I was invited there by a friend. Hmm here's the list of websites I have:
2 Deviantart 1 art gallery, 1 Club(I so need to work on this page)
Sheezyart
Hi5!
Livejournal
!y Gallery
Side7
Photobucket
2 Yahoo groups

Most of the sites use my artist name Samapuma.

Well, it's near that time of year again. The celebration of birthdays... I was born on November 27, 1972. I came out at 8:00 am in the morning during a C-section surgery performed by the doctors at Methodist Hospital. My baby picture that my mommie showed me was in color. I had a beautiful smile on my face. The world seemed open with soo many possiblilities. While I was being carried during those 9 months, the doctors thought that since my heartbeat was so strong that I was a twin. Though, truly, that was all it was, just a strong heartbeat, much to my mom's relief. (Though, they wouldn't have minded if I was a twin.) I had a pretty healthy babyhood until the ripe age of 6 months. It was then that my mom discovered much to her dismay that I was a carrier of Excema. A very dry skin condition that can get very ugly if not taken care of. Besides that and allergies to food and pollen dust,and dust, I grew up fairly quickly. And at the age of 4 1/2, I had to be enrolled in ballet to help me deal with balance problems I was having. She also had me take tap, gymnastics and later jazz. It was soo much fun. I also had to be enrolled in speech classes. I had noticed that I couldn't say 's' and 'l' right. So I told my mommie. I also had problems with being careful about how fast I eat for I had a very big underbite ...though it's not as noticeable now. It was then my mom told me that the doctors had said that I would probalby not be able to eat, speak, or breathe completly right. However, with her help I overcame all of them. I even had my adnoids removed which are in the nasal cavities. (Most people don't have these removed!! I STILL have my tonsils...yikes!) It wasn't until Thrid grade when I started having problems. I was being harassed by the boys at school. They called me very mean names which caused me to have my first breakdown. My hair fell out and I was having suicidal thoughts( my mother never knew about this until later). However, due to my mom making me talk...I was able to pull throught that most difficult time. Highschool proved to be the next difficult time, though it wasn't as bad as elementary. I, unfortunately, became biased against my own people. Now, most of the kids thought, I had a white momma, which is not true. On my mother's side they are very light colored. Some to the point that they could pass for whites if they choose too. It was also because of my hair... It just doesn't act like black hair unless it needs a perm. But anyway, I completely closed myself off from other blacks, thogh this did not last long. I just couldn't be like that forever...it bothered me. Well, anyway, I graduated from Southport High School on June 1991 with a scholarship of $1,000 dollars. I used that to go to Ivy Tech to get some General classes. After that I went to two other colleges: International Business College, and Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale. Well, that's about it....pretty boring? Maybe..but that's my life.

Well, I'd thought I'd post a update on what's going on for now. I have got at least three of the 100th member pics done, three are ready for inking and coloring, and I've only two more to do then I will be finished. I just need to scan them. That's going to be the hardest part. I can either take a picture of them with the digital camera...or have a friend scan them...or have Kinko's do it. *sighs*

1)Uriko's tf project possilbe 15 pics. I have planned out what will happen so I just need to start this piece. :)
2)Tf one-shots for each 100th member for both tf groups; only seven more to go, after the last three!!
3)Fionacat piece - Thinking....first idea was way out there. Thanks for the Deviant art subscription!!!
4)Kouji-cloud piece - I'm trying to decide whether to go with a school uniform scene or a dress up with chinese outfits...hmmm...
5)Thinking of joining VCL or Yerf, though I'm not sure... I think i've figureed out how I am going to do their muzzles... I was having problems with how to make that look good. So I guess it's just I need to decide what site to apply for. :)

Well, that's it for my update so I'll post later next week how I'm doing. Nyah!!

Yeap, it's that time of the year again. AND!! Hopefully I'll be off on that day, since it doesn't land in the week of Thanksgiving. :) I usually don't get my birthday off because of that holiday, unless it lands on Thanksgiving day. I found that it lands on Thanksgiving day at least every four years. Infact I was born on that holiday and I always get excited around this time of the year. I'll be posting some little known facts about me on my birthday, if you're interested. Though, I don't expect any gifts, because I've been really bad about saying happy birthday to my two best friends. I will make it up to them next year. Oh yes, I will be posting on the bottom of my posts the status of my projects.

1)Uriko's tf project possilbe 15 pics Thinking....
2)Tf one-shots for each 100th member for both tf groups;
2 done & colored/6 pieces to do

I will start orginizing them in priority rating later. As soon as I get the bigger projects done, namely, #1&2, I will start taking commissions.

Hee hee, things are off to a good start. I am feeling better even though I had a terrible time 2 weeks ago. I'm still not over it totally, but enough that it doesn't cause problems at work. I am rejuvenated for some reason and I feel refreshed. I am starting a couple of projects, though I am abandoning some of them too. So I will list off the projects I intend to do, though not in any particular order, for now.

1)Uriko's tf project possilbe 15 pics...not sure
2)Tf one-shots for each 100th member for both tf groups; 8 pieces to do, the originals got ruined...gggrrrrrrrr
3)Fionacat piece - Waiting for confirmation
4)Kouji-cloud piece - Waiting for confirmation
5)I am abandoning my feathers and transform.to sites. If I get a response from the site mangers, then I will update, but not until then.
6)Thinking of joining VCL or Yerf, though I'm not sure...
7)Commision for Fionacat!!

I will start orginizing them in priority rating later. As soon as I get the bigger projects done, namely, #1&2, I will start taking commissions.

I had setup for me to be off work on Sunday, July, 30, 2006 for a personal day. Though, my wonderful work setup a manditory meeting for 8:30 am in the morning that day... ggggrrrr... My reason for being off that day is for me to go to my cousin's baby shower. And then other bad news... I have a nice idea of what I want to get for her. Though, I may not be able to go all out on her present... It made me feel very upset. I really wanted to get her a very nice gift. I'm not always able to get very nice gifts. I feel so fustrated....and upset. I'm hoping that I can still spend the $30 dollars I intended to spend on her...

I just recieved the last of my back taxes and I'm happy!! I just bought a new tv.... God, did I need that one... I'm not sure when my old tv will implode. Heh... So I'm in a very good mood. Well, can't think of anything else to do with the rest of the money besides pay bills... Gggggggggggggggnnyyyyyyyyyyyuuuuu~~~~~~~~~~....... =;-_-;= I HATE bills.

I woke up to day with a serious headache and you know what caused it? A weird dream... From what I remember, it started out this way. I had came out of my house to meet a friend, who was actually closer to a boyfriend. He had said that he needed to get something out of the neighbor's backyard across from my house. Something that would make his eyes glow blue again (getting a FF type motif here??) so I agreed. We snuck over there after dark and made it into the backyard. We got into the truck and there was this blue crystal like substance in the back of it. He was getting some of it when the man of the house came out and started to realize we were in his truck. He started yelling at us. My boyfriend told me to hold him off.... Though, it seemed to skip from here to, my boyfriend telling me to get out and run. So I did and the man chased me, even though my boyfriend came out at the same time. He attacked me with something...I can't remember. And, I turn around and use some "Tifa like moves" on him and got away. Then it skipped to me being out side and realizing that the sky was a greenish like weird tinge that emminated from the neighbors house we had been at. My boyfriend then came up to me and said that the stuff we stole wasn't good enough quality and I could see that his eyes glowed the same wierd green too. Then it skipped to people looking for the person that broke into my neighbor's backyard... And strangely I wasn't pointed out because I was with the group. They tried to go up to one person's house, but I said that, "This is Dwayne's house. He's got nothing to do with this." and they still knocked on the door but no one was there. So they moved on. (You know the house and the person didn't actually match up.. because the Dwayne I know doesn't live that close to my original house.) Anyways... So we marched half way down my old street where I used to live. I also pointed out a person's house that the neighborhood had called the girl Lisa, Cockroach. And that I'd also called her that too. Then I realized how ashamed I was in saying that. Well, then it skipped to me being in a buildng type area and my cats were there, and my fiance, too. We were hanging out with some friends for a bit. Then this noise seemed to be getting louder and louder... so I assumed it was probably a tornado or something... I had two little dog s there too, both tiny and stuff. But everyone else was a sleep except my fiance and me... So we decided to get into the bathroom and bring the cats and dogs with me... The noise continued to drone on and then it seemed to be going a way. So I decided to look out the window after we vacated the bathroom. What I saw was this... We were in a building next to the highway and there was as if someone had drowned the building plus a few more buildings with tar pebbles... and that the thing that was making this effect was a simple truck like thing that was driving down the highway..... That's when I woke up... SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WEEEEEIIIIIIIIIIRDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, my ftp program is uploaded and working fine on my computer. The only problem is that I can't seem to connect to the feather server. It keeps saying that it is unable to connect. It really sucks cause I was soo hyped up to begin working on my site... Now I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to update it. I'm going to try sending an email to the server administration... Though, I'm not sure if I have the right addy or the right name... *sighs* I've lost some info that was vital during the last time my computer hiccuped... Hmmm, maybe I could get hold of Mintz... He might be able to help me.

I downloaded a ftp program yesterday! I installed it today and tried to connect with the server.... But, I couldn't get it to connect.... *sighs* I'll just try again this afternoon. I want to update my feathers site... *balls*

Today is a good day!! I've just got off the phone with my student loans!!! I was deliquent for 74 days and needed to get a forbearance for them. I had, last night, faxed them a copy of the forbearance papers thru KinkoFed X. So, I was going thru my numbers to call back on my phone and I was actually trying to call my Kay Jewlers number...but it worked out, because I got the loans forberared!! And they are on hold until April 28th 2007, and!! The monthly payment will be $77.75!!! Can't beat that!!! I intend to try and pay some towards it anyway while it's in forbearance..but I won't know when. Maybe I'll start in January after getting these other bills under control. I almost have made my goal with my fiance's help. Kya!! It's soo cool!!

i almost wish i was able to spend more money. i was pretty limited to what I could find. it was such a shame... however, i was able to hang out in the anime room. i think i've had at least maybe less than ten hours of sleep in the last three days. heh... i love conventions!!! they are a lot of fun. i just wish the con was for a longer time period. they usually have it for four days...but this time it was only three days... that was depressing. but even so, it was a very exhilarating. i was able to meet some really old friends. some i haven't seen in a very long while. i am very glad they were alright. well that's about it... i can't think of anything else. so i guess i'll post something later. nyah!!!

Miyah... I've been taking it easy for a while. I'm gonna start posting on here more often. I'm going to restart up my pics again. I just need to use my time wisely. So I've been thinking of what I can do. Sometimes I just get lazy and don't wanna do anything... So that's why I get behind.. though, this time off has let me reset and relax for a bit. :) So I'm back!! =^_^=

Well, I did it... I really didn't want too, but I did. I've just been too stressed out. I won't be posting any more pics till next year. Things are just too hectic.. I really regret doing this..but I must for my sanity. Maybe after this year is over things will be better. I know there are a lot of peole who wished to see my transformation pics..but since life has became more hectic..I just don't have the time.. :( I barely draw as is..and it's quite depressing..because besides that..nothing else calms me... So I'm really at my wits end..because I can't find peace at all now, and things are coming apart... I feel so upset, depressed, angry, and some what violent. I want to cry...so much..but i feel so choked...so choked... I've already had one dream destroyed... Is my art next? It's the only thing I have left....

Kyaa!!!!!!!!!! I totally forgot about updating my site........ ggyuuuuuuuuuuu.. *sighs* I even forgot to head over to a friend's workplace.. :( damn.. I barely had money last week...so I was very hindered in things I needed to do... :( :( Oh!! And, I've kicked out all my roommates. So things are cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ahh well, It's about 32 minutes before I go to work today. I really don't want to go... However, I must. I've been trying to get in the mood for drawing tfs..but it just doesn't seem to be going anywhere... I'm bummed.. So, I'm gonna try again... I'm going to work on it today and tommorow(I'm off!!) so I can put up my update for at least...3 sites. I have something's I'm working on for the con... Namely, a color contest pic for the children that go to Gencon!!! I have the image done, and I might post it on DA. Hmmm...should I? I'm also trying to get started for the pics I'm going to display at Gencon..so things are getting hectic.. I need to start soon... :( Ahh well..I guess I'll go to work early. Seeyas!!!
