Hello people! I realize that I have been quite absent from deviantart during these past few weeks, due to my studies, plus the overall difficulties that comes with being alive in a modern society in this day and age.

I just want you guys to know that I can now be accessed through Skype, so feel free to give me a call. I would really enjoy the company, even though I might be a little shy, since I am very new to using Skype. Just do not be too alarmed if I look like I have been hit by a train, because the reason that I look so tired is that I haven't been sleeping too much during these last few days (I actually did not sleep at all yesterday) and I have also been infected by some virus that causes runny noses, coughs and headaches. Anyhow, my Skype alias is 'incrediblyoriginal' (which is a fun name because no one had chosen it yet, which, ironically, makes it incredibly original. I simply appreciate strange things like this!).

I would also like to add that I would like to start a new weekly event, which is called 'songs of the week'. I read an interesting journal, and I found it to be a lovely idea. From now on you will probably get to hear a lot of things that might be new to you, that I listen a lot to for various reasons. I might warn you that I do not listen to many 'happy' songs, because many of them rub me the wrong way. The very first songs are listed here below:
Danzig - Mother www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7uEb_…
Deftones - Digital Bath www.youtube.com/watch?v=dd_461…
Katatonia - Lethean www.youtube.com/watch?v=7rhNBY…

I will now proceed to uploading a few of the better photos I have taken during my few recent excursions to the outside world and possibly answer a few of the comments and notifications that I have accumulated during my absence. I have roamed places like the local graveyard, the railroad tracks, the forest and just casual strolls around town; looking for items and objects that stand out in a subtle way.

THAT'S ALL FOLKS...

Ladies and gentlemen, I have a confession to make.

As I have been really anxious about art thieves and such occurrences,
I've now decided to take measures.

To make sure that all of my photos will be spared from potential thievery,
I've decided to add a signature to every single one of my current and future deviations, starting now.
Therefore I will now take down my photos for a short time,
and re-upload them with my signature immediately.
The reason for why I'm doing this, is that I've learned that my work could get exploited,
which could mean that companies and individuals could use my stuff for their own doings without my consent,
and my art would spread through basically any media which would interfere a lot with my ownership.

I'm very sorry if things might seem a little awkward for a short while,
but I'm sure that you all will understand.


I will be as straightforward as I can on this subject.

It really is downright shitty that I should have to do a thing like this to protect my integrity,
and I personally think that signatures tend to look bad on my pictures,
but humanity is what it is, and there's really nothing I can do about it.

If I have given any of you permission to use any of my pictures,
you are free to continue to do so, but I ask of you one thing:
that you exchange the previous image to the new one with the signature.
It isn't that hard to do, and it would help me to feel a lot better.



... There's one good thing in the middle of all this,
which is that I've wished to edit some of my olds pictures slightly,
for quite some time now, so now I'm free to do so.

I've just read a short little story which filled my eyes with manly tears (I both love and hate bittersweet endings). In fact it was such a good read that I felt obligated to spread the word!

Here is the chooseyourstory.com/story/fare…, so please click the button labeled "play" and read it through, if you have the time. I would be very pleased to hear your thoughts afterwards, so feel free to leave a comment!

There are many more interactive stories on the site which I can recommend, so take a look.

Well, it's been some while since my last journal, so I think I should make an update on my latest ill-doings.
The tests went well; there were some failures on my part, but there were mostly victories.
I will probably be having some difficulty being active on dA during the coming few weeks,
since I'm doing work in the laboratory pretty much all day now just to keep up with the schedual
(I've been working from 8 AM to 12 PM during these last two days). Things are hectic in the university to say the least.


Well, some while ago I read a journal by :iconsaliencat: (if you don't know him, check him out), and I thought that it looked like an interesting thing to do, so I copied the content, tweaked the questions a bit (fixed spelling errors and such) and pasted it here. It may cause some curiosity, and if so, please go ahead and ask! I don't bite much.

RULE 1: You can only say INNOCENT or GUILTY.
RULE 2: You are not allowed to explain anything unless someone messages you and asks! (So people reading this, if you want an explanation... comment!)
Now, here's what you're supposed to do... And please do not spoil the fun. Copy and paste this into your journal, delete my answers, then type in your answers.
