Hey guys,

I haven't been active in quite some time. I have been pushing a lot of my attention to my arcade machines. The thing is after that last journal I posted all the way back in 2013 I bought about six more arcade machines. In total I have Super Hang-On // Sega, Pump It Up // Andamiro, Dance Dance Revolution/In The Groove // Konami, Cool Gunman // Namco, Golly Ghost // Namco, Air Trix // Sega, and two Quick & Crash // Namco. I have been putting a lot of my focus in on these games to fix them up and play them. Not including the fact that I have been working a lot at work, which is where I store these guys. Basically since then I have switched colleges and I am going to a university now. I have been doing a lot of my stuff there. I haven't had a lot of time to sit on DA as much as I did in high school and in community college. I feel kind of bad about it, though I have honestly switched my gears and have been using other art sites that get my work a little more attention. Also been sitting on Twitter and Facebook a lot more. So, getting more attention on stuff overrides the less attention for art on here. That's just how it gone. I am going to try to post every few weeks some more art that I have gotten edited up. Just to get it off of my computer and onto the internet for those that want to see it. Anyways, keep being awesome guys. I am going to go straighten up some stuff online and off.

Oh geez I'm 21. I don't like the sound of that. Oh well, another year closer to the end as they say.

What I have been doing:

Working on my DDR machine. I have been ripping into the pads and getting them all cleaned out since I have not done that since I got it and I know the previous owner(s) had never done that. Everything inside was pretty rusty and dirty. :/ Other than that I have a pending purchase of a TV and new screws for it. Aside from internal issues that I have to mess with in the computer.

New sensor technique I learned online to make the pads more sensitive.

Took apart everything to clean it ALL. It's really rusty from being in a water park area for years so it was super rusty. :/

Parallel project is my mame as well: pbs.twimg.com/media/BaRfS2F...… It's inside not smelling much like mold anymore.

It's getting to that time of year that I am not really wanting to do anything right now since the weather is kind of getting in the way. It's that time of year when my funds are running the lowest, since I am coasting on funds I made the year before. It's just kind of bleh for me, that's the only way I can put it.

Been taking up doing a little more Photography, did some shoots at the Detroit Auto Show, Frankenmuth, and various arcades in between. Just trying to keep the time passing, you know. Thinking about getting into doing and editing some video, but I don't know any programs that are good enough to do any of that stuff. Just noticed that I have some editing software from my Nikon camera, ViewNX2. Thinking about installing it and seeing that I can do with that thing, if it's a little better than my current program, MicrograFX 8, which is made in 1997, I think I will make the switch to some newer software. FINALLY.

Well, that's what I wanna say for right now. If you guys have anything you wanna add just hit me up.

Hey guys! It's that time of the year where my job closes up and I just go to school. I'm just chilling on my page editing up a storm of pictures and figuring out my new camera I just bought, a Nikon D3100. Trying to figure out which programs work the best for editing and I think I am going to stick with my old MicrograFX 8, makes a smaller file size with the same quality as my other stuff.

How are you guys doing? Just chilling? How many of my watchers are even left! XD Seems like everyone has switched accounts or left the site all together. It's kind of creepy when I look back on everyone. Geez guys! Make me feel old!

Oh, that brings me to another things, I'm going to be 20 in a few days. That's really creepy. I just can't see myself being 20 years old! Like really! FFF! Oh well, I guess I'll get over it...

Adios guys!

Hey guys! It's the haunting season again. For those that do not know, I work at two haunted houses on the same property. I am not one of the actors, I am a high staff member, so I have to look at the big picture of these haunts and crap. Tonight rings in the first official run of our haunt shows. So, what is basically going to happen is that I will be totally booked on interactions I can do. Right after posting this little journal I will be heading over to the haunts to work on crap. After this run I should have a few more horror pictures to post! Most likely in the winter though. Just be on the look out!

Okay, I'm out! See you guys!
