So It's been about 2 years since I wrote anything here, but I have been updating now and then, just posting some of the things I take photos of and such.

I was looking through my gallery and noticed my evolution as both a photographer and a person, from the lightning shots my stepdad helped me take, the Galaxy edit I had to do in HS, and some random shots I took in between, I've seen a bit of a curve, least in my eyes, my shots have improved slightly, but still, photography isn't my main interest, science is. It's still a fun hobby to do, and I don't think I'll ever stop.

I must say, DeviantArt has changed much too. There has been some turmoil and such, some unnecessary drama along the way, and some major category revamping. However, I've come to notice that the front page is littered, and I mean littered, with Anime pictures.

Now, I will be the first one to admit, I am a fan of Anime, I have been since I was 11 years old, but I log onto DA and I always see in "Popular" some rendition of a character from Naruto, or some equivalent popular, or otherwise, anime. Don't get me wrong, some of these pieces are very well done, and they are drawn by people who have extraordinary amounts of talent, much more than I have myself, but I feel that it's getting sickening seeing the same thing over and over again.

It would be like taking a photograph of an apple and only changing a few things about it, deep down, it's still just a photograph of an apple. It gets boring, redundant, and annoying.

I would like to see more creativity, yes, I said it. I want to see daring, I want to see something jaw dropping beautiful grace the front pages. I want it to be an unknown artist, someone who isn't followed by leagues of followers on DA.

Yea, I'm looking for an underdog.

Wheres the Art gone from this site?

I am only left to wonder.

Alrighty then...

I am back, I suppose. I got a new Digital Camera since my Cannon went to hell.

I made a new DeviantID, it sucks I know, and looks a hell of alot like the windows logo colors, which is probably where I got the Idea from, but eh, who cares.

Oh, and the webcam picture is my roommate @ College. I'll try to change it periodically to show different funny things going on in my Suite.

My Suitemates/roommates are crazy, its fun.

Whoosh, go Rowan.

SIS BOOM BAH! During the debate over a bill to designate the frontier
chuck wagon as the "official state vehicle", Texas State Senators got a
bit out of hand. The bill's sponsor, Kel Seliger of Amarillo, was upset
that fellow lawmakers weren't taking his bill seriously, interrupting
him with silly questions ("Should we call it the Charles Wagon?" and
"Can we also designate the low-rider as the official state urban
vehicle?") When yet another senator was about to interrupt with his own
one-liner, Seliger fumed, "I've already yielded more than a cheerleader
at a drive-in!" The entire chamber went silent, not believing he would
diss the revered cheerleaders of the state. Seliger later blamed
"incipient Tourette's syndrome" for his outburst, and suggested "the
next bill I do will be for motherhood." (Austin American-Statesman)
...Isn't that pretty much what already happens when the cheerleaders
"yield"?
