My last journal was not meant to stir hate or controversy. I mean... that's not what purpose of what the journal was. I didn't pose names but some of the readers identified who I was talking about. So this is a bit of an apology to Anon about not stating the facts of his situation. I didn't have the full picture and I prematurely came to a wrongful conclusion which portrayed Anon as insane >w<. Anon is not crazy, he's just going through a very stressful time and I just happened to catch him during a bad day.
So, I want to take my last journal back. I didn't mean any insult toward Anon. He's fine, he's just solving issues with family and his personal life. I want let everyone know that I don't like to cause drama. Life is too short to dwell into the dramatic. I'm sorry if my last journal was interpreted as stirring up drama. I wrote it as a record so other people could learn from what I thought was Anon's mistake. The reason I wrote was because, I lived through something similar. My parents brought me to the US when I was 10 years old. We were here for almost 11 years and my parents didn't once tried to fix my papers so I can be legal in the US. They just sat back and hoped/prayed for our situation to just magically solve itself. That type of thinking almost brought us to the edge of failure, bankruptcy, and almost death (if we were ever going to get deported)
I was down, I was over weight, not really legal in the US, I didn't see a future for me. But, I said no, then I saw the precipice and I didn't want to take one more step. I decided to not trust my life in the hand of others or in faith that some how it'll magically fix itself. I first concentrated into losing weight. At the start of this year I weighted about 280+ lbs >w< thanks to dieting, exercise and complete lack of my health or safety I was able to lose 80lbs
by July of this year. Meanwhile I did research into the immigration process and with many disappointments, I heard of a theoretical way to become legal but it would not happen till August of this year. Thankfully as an election year, Obama made that path a reality as the deferment action program of the Dream Act. I applied to it as soon as possible, my parents were very supportive. Thinking that this was an act of god, they paid for half, but I had to pay for the other half to get the actual papers >w< the first half was the attorney himself. My share was around $700.
Lol, so I literally drew myself into a path of citizenship. My dad is now a resident and about 4 more years I will be too. but wit the deferment action program I'll be legible to have a driver's license, have work (that's why I drew and not got an actual job
) and now I'm on my way to legalization. Finally, I can stop worrying about my legal situation ^^

I'll post me-art in between, but commissioned comics are an absolute priority. Also as a secondary priority is to fix my commissioning system and make it easier. I know that people don't even bother reading journals so I'll a standard posted example of commission types and their prices, along with ref-she prices and comics examples and comics.
Also as an update, the plan is to double the ram of my computer from 5GBs to 10GBs. the plan failed because of mother board issues thanks to
www.furaffinity.net/user/count… and
www.furaffinity.net/user/draco… for their help and
Duraji for the computer RAM. It was able to increase the RAM by 1GB so its not a total loss >w< but this means that I definitely need to replace my computer.
