Hey y'all!

Girlfriend of 3 years and I spent the past year and a half trying to move out of this shitty neighborhood. The housing market has been nuts that whole time. Every house we'd want, BOOM, bought. Want to go look at it tomorrow? TOO LATE IT'S BOUGHT! HAHA!

About to give up hope, when we found affordable building plans near our works, as well as interest rates dropping a TON due to this virus. We were actually looking to build before all of that happened, so the fact that we can still build and move is a really great silver lining!

It'll be big for me, Laura (gf), and the kids, as well as be in a MUCH nicer area (we won't have to worry about meth houses being near by me thinks). We've been stressing over this for far too long, but they're scheduled to break ground in just a couple of weeks! I've lived in all kinds of cruddy areas, but I've never had a place I could truly call "home". Can't tear down a wall in a place you're renting. Can't build a shed at a place you're renting. Can't do this, can't do that. We'll finally be able to customize our place to our liking, and it's exciting!

The first thing I plan on doing is setting up a stone fire pit. Something fast, simple, cheap, and easy to do (We're moving further in to the country; NO MORE CITY LIVING) so we'll have enough space to enjoy our surroundings! I'll probably start that off sometime after we're actually moved in this July when they're estimated to be finished. We're keeping our fingers crossed and hoping all this stuff blows over, but our governor seems to be doing a rather good job flattening the curve.

Also hi!

Y'all stayin' hydrated? Makin' sure to wash your hands? Got enough TP for your poo poo?

'K, just makin' sure.

Since last I posted here.

Busy year.

Got in to streaming (and for the time I put in, got more viewers than I thought I would). Put that aside as I found a GF (with kids). Moving in in a week or so, and plan to stream more; except instead of games; animation. Should be fun! I put an animation on the backburner while dating as well, but I'll need a hobby to keep myself busy when I'm not helping the kids with things or hanging with the gf.

Happy to see an influx of new users return/ sign up to the site! Really unexpected how it came about, but it's both hilarious and great! (Well, not for the Tumblr users, but they will find refuge here!)

Not sure what else to say. Anyway, I hope y'all have a good 2019!

AN A HAPEH NAH QUITE NEW YEER!!

I'm still here!

Shit has been kinda crazy since Pico Day (Which was a BLAST, by the way!) By the time my vacation finished, I was working 11-12 hour days, and shit hasn't ceased. I'm starting to get back to 10 hour days, but that shit murders your motivation to do anything. I pick up my pen and stare at my screen to draw and come up with nothing. All I've really been doing as of late is working, running around outside for an hour or so with friends doing that stupid ass Pokemon GO thing, or sleeping.

I've become a real bore. All work and no play, as they say. 

Hopefully I'll regain motivation and do some shit again!

Time has certainly gone by fast! Been just under a year since attending last Pico Day! To think; I wasn't going to go last year because of reasons; until good 'ol @Jonas convinced me to stop on by. 

Since last Pico Day, I've uploaded two animations!

and

http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/672071

Both, I believe, are better (artistically) than my past animations (Purely opinion based). Hopefully people liked 'em! As I plan to make more in the future! It's a bit tough to get stuff out in a timely fashion (with work, life, and other things in the way), but I find it enjoyable and will continue to play with animating. 

I can't wait to talk with old friends and meet some new ones! It was an amazing feeling to have people remember me and want to talk with me. This year I won't be so much of a dope and will try conversing more with more people! Anyway, just wanted to typity type on my keyboard about this because I've been looking forward to this for MONTHS.

Toodles! :D

Took me longer than I wanted, but after a few months I finished, so yay! I feel like i'm getting better at this kind of thing :O

Anyway, I hope you like it! It's NSFW :3

Oh, and the song at the end is something I made real quick. Posted on the Audio Portal as well:

Still working on my animation! Not sure if I said this last time (and I'm not going to reread PSH FUCK THAT RIGHT?!) but I DID finish all the recordings! (minus a laugh I want to throw in). I can't reeeally give a percentage as to how far I am with the animation (as I SUCK at that), but I think/ would like to be done nearing the end of March. Drawing Disney characters is a BITCH and they look like SHIT but it's certainly a good way to learn how not to do things. 

Anyway I love you here have a kissy emote if you kiss it on your monitor it's like kissing me ha mwah! :*

Meet my ghetto corner!

I've been so tired of being unable to record anything due to living in a studio. Well, I COULD record, but I basically live in one GIANT bedroom that has echo/ reverb and I'd probably scare my neighbors from how much I yell.

So I decided to make my microphone a cubicle! I bought some wood, chopped it up, nailed it together, wrapped/ gorilla glued felt on for slightly more soundproofing/ durability, then cut up/ glued in the sound foam for MAXIMUM SOUND ABSORBTION (probably did it all wrong). Speaking directly in to the box creates a weird sound effect, but talking right outside the box is perfect. I plan on putting scripts on my phone and placing it inside the box to read so I don't have to keep looking at my laptop/ shuffling papers! The box (with foam) probably cost me $50-60 to make, which isn't really all that bad for a guy on a SHITTY ASS BUDGET. 

Hoping to voice my next cartoon soon :*

UPDATE:
I THINK IT WORKS WELL! YES.

I voiced a single line I'm using over and over as Donald T̶r̶u̶m̶p̶ Duck to test out my Mic since his voice is most likely to crackle my mic? I dunno.

Click it! It's reeeally big! UNLIKE YOUR PEE PEE HA HA BUUURN.

Glad I finally finished something! I have a tendency to not finish what I've started. I'm like that mad scientist in Jimmy Neu

I haven't made a New Years Resolution on any media (including twitter, which I've used a LOT more this past year. OR REAL LIFE THAT'S THE MAIN SOCIAL MEDIA). I did say I wanted to be more active here at Newgrounds sometime last year, and I believe I have been; though not as much as I would like. Only one animation and a few drawings. I'm still working on animations; though mostly backgrounds. That's my main focus, as almost ALL of my animations have shit backgrounds. Hopefully some of my new artwork will show some improvement as well. 

I want to submit animations that are notably better than anything else I've submitted, so hopefully that shows this year!
