Cancer
It’s about 7 AM on Tuesday as I’m typing this. About 15 minutes ago I just learned that my Grandfather died a few hours before in his sleep. Many months in the past I had posted about my Grandfather before with some sketchy vent art… So he’s been sick for a really long time.
My Grandfather died from cancer. When they first discovered that he had cancer, it developed in his lung. They tried to operate on it, but during the surgery part of the cancer broke away and became lost in his blood stream.
The cancer reappeared later on a lymph node. Lymph nodes are connected to nearly ever part of your body just like blood vessels, and from there the cancer was able to spread everywhere. Including the brain.
For about the last week and a half, it finally affected his ability to function. Often there were days where he didn’t know where he was, he couldn’t walk or talk, and a lot of the time we were not sure if he could even recognize us. Some days he would be just fine again. But now he is gone.
The last time I saw him was just two days ago. He has been really bad that day, but he woke up long enough for me to sit down next to him, take hold of his shaking arm, and give him a loving smile. I told him hello, and he said hi back to me, including my name. It was probably the last coherent word he said. I’m happy that I was able to say my goodbye to him before he left.
Yesterday was also memorial day for us here in the states. Every year we would have the fallibly barbeque at my grandparents. I remember talking to my younger cousin. “I don’t even want to go in there, it’s so sad…” And I regret that I didn’t try to convince him to go inside, but I felt the same way that he did. The man in the bed was so frail and weak, and it hurt to see him in so much pain like that.
But I’m still glad that I was able to say my goodbye just the day before yesterday. I know that I would have regretted it forever if I didn’t. And now I’m just kind of rambling. I’m typing to not breakdown. But I want to post this, so… I’ll see you guys next time.
Work Rant
Urg! So pissed off at work right now. I just want to rant and blog about it… And hey, this is a blog, so I think I shall do just that!
I work with the general public, and as anybody with a job in the general public they can all tell you the same thing. People are stupid. And not just stupid, but like… Stupid stupid. Selfish and self centered too.
For me, I work with veterinarians all around the United States and Canada, and some of these people are absolutely the most arrogant people ever. See, how it works is that when these doctors pull stuff from your pets, they send that stuff to my work to get the tests done. My job is to make sure the stuff gets picked up by our drivers and to our labs.
Well today I had a call from a doctor. They had called in for us to pick something up, and the driver went by to pick up something. However when the driver got to the site, all the doors to the clinic were locked and they did not put anything out inside the strongbox we provide our customers for exactly this kind of thing.
When this happens the drivers are supposed to try and knock on all the doors, which they did, and leave a sticky note explaining what happened. The doctor, when I answered, started yelling at me, they were pissed off because the driver did not specifically state on the note that they attempted to walk through the front door, where the doctor proceeds to tell me that they might have well just been standing 2 inches away from the door waiting specifically for the driver to come inside.
Magically I guess, because you know, the freaking door was locked, and I guess they couldn’t be bothered to open the door. Just stand there and stare.
Makes me sad on how far people will go to not take responsibility.
Organization
Hey Everypony. So I just went through and edited all the tags and made sure everything was in its place. I also updated the side bar. Check it out, I added some lovely navigation links so it will be easy to filter out my blog for all the wonderful things you want to see. So yeah, go me. :3
Silly comment about my latest update thanks to my lovely waifu~ Dat Anapony Arse!
More WIPs of the next update. The first picture… OMG the first picture, I have a hard time at drawing ponies from the back, and this is made even worse when I try to draw a pose I’ve never done before.
The anapony was supposed to be running, but right now he looks like hes trying to take some really awkward piss. Though I wouldn’t be surprised if he was wetting himself while running away from Hemroid!
More WIPS of the next ditzy dinky update. Redrew the first panel because. Leave a comment if you want~

WTF Am I Doing?
I’m playing pokemon platinum right now, and I don’t even like pokemon. The last time I played a pokemon game was freaking yellow back when I was like… 10 or something, on the original game boy! The frigging indestructible brick! To top it all off I’m also doing it as a nuzlock, why? Reasons, that’s why.
At the very least I can get an immature giggle on the fact that I named my friend Whore, so now my home town says I live next to a Whore house. Oh and it looks like they got rid of the all caps on humans, which I’m thankful for.
Will I art it? *Shrug* I might, a horribly mutilated pokemon I ‘killed’ by an intentional lost fight. :3 I seriously doubt I’ll even play for very long though. Eh, we’ll see.
More Target drawings. Also trying some coloring styles and line work. 1 is done entirely with the marker tool. 2-5 all have the line art done in pen, 2 and 3 are colored in with the marker tool, 4 and 5 with the air brush. Let me know what you think?
OMG a WIP of the next update! Panel 1 for you to oggle. :3
Been playing a little Golden Sun on the Gameboy Advance, got the urge to draw the Djinn as ponies. This here is Mars. I don’t think I’ll finish shading it in, but I like how the eye came out so I think I’ll see about shading similar in the future.
