Finally got myself first round of COVID19 shot today!
Though actually I wouldn't do it if not for the latest government rule of making a vaccine-user-screening app mandatory for malls, some offices, even airports that of course requires us all to get vaccinated. A ^&%#*@ mandatory STUPID APP WITH REVIEWS 95% IF NOT 99,99% SAYING IT'S TOTAL GARBAGE AND THEY KEEP ON DELETING USERS' COMMENTS THAT DON'T COMPLY TO THEIR LIKING!!
I personally trust my immune system already and personal common sense to deal with them virus. I believe it's enough coz I can say I've been 85% taking care of my health but I'd get very annoyed if I couldn't enter a mall to buy high quality organic kales and aloeveras, or to train stations or to get on a bus or to go to airport just because I hadn't got vaccinated and not yet installing dat trash of an app!
So my first step to 'freedom' is at least to get my first dosage of the vaccine - thank god no serious side effects so far about 15 hours after the shots, except for a bit sore around the shot mark, a little of pain on my left arm and a few parts of my left face, and a light headache on roughly the left part of my head. As for the app I'm considering buying another phone so the big bro of them gov can 'watch' me whenever (it demands the GPS to STAY ON at ALL BLOODY TIIIIMEE!!) cos I wont put any personal files into it and if it crashes the phone I wouldn't be too sorry!
By the way this is the first time in years since I rode a taxi lol, the vaccination center is pretty far away from home and there's NO WAY anyone gets there via public transport! We had to ask around a lot to find it, thankfully we did it. And thankfully there's not really a long queue, just idle crowds, it's all done in 15 minutes.
Now Ima pray that them beaureaucrats wont mess up with my data and my vaccine's ID should be registered in the system no problem in a week or so!
But now here's the really interesting part: curiously when I asked my landlord when I met him before I left for the shot I found out that he and his family deliberately don't vaccinate themselves, heck they don't even believe in coronavirus!
Apparently he read somewhere in a Facebook group (wonder if he's also part of it) that covid is a mean to depopulate humans. That there's some DNA-modifying agent in the vaccines that will change / decrease the humans' IQ when they finally get the third shot. I was kinda shocked when he also said he's anti-mask too, haha..
I mean I don't like wearing mask either (just want no trouble so I do it) but when there's the word "anti" before something, that speaks a strong stance. And he connects the covid too to his religion, that somehow the government (or maybe Illuminati or Freemasons and friends lolol) doesn't want people to practice religion proven by the lockdown rules and imposed physical spaces.
Ookay.. I was actually intrigued, then I asked him something else to test if the resource is credible (goddamn it though I can't remember how I led him to say it!). He said the author of the depopulation conspiracy on Facebook is a staff in our country's intelligence - yeah convincing sh*t (NOT! hahahahaa..). Then there it is.. the resource said he believes in FLAT EARTH (and thus do my landlord too) LMFAO I REST MY CASE I. EFFIN. KNEW ITTT!!!
His house of "covid19 conspiracy" cards is automatically crumbling
in my eyes oh my oh my.. those conspiracy theorists are always singing more or less the same song. Stay away from Facebook Sir pleeez! That said doesn't mean I trust the government 100% either, I just don't think life is like Robert Langdon movies even though I'm the number one fan!
Anyway my landlord is one of the
MOST DECENT, KINDEST & THE MOST COMMON SENSICAL guy I've ever met so
I'll totally let him alone haha.. and I don't really have an intention of
convincing anyone else out of their whatever faiths as long as they
also leave me be. (Their family is indeed religious, kind of moderately I say, but they never preaches us anything - I want nothing but a good life for them).
And ah, reasoning is a tricky business. I think in the end it's not about logic, it's more about what your heart, your current personal bubble / universe / frequency wants to hear.
Hope
I don't offend any other flat earther here lolol, especially if you're pro cute
kittehs, this is just my right of free speech. Believe whatever you
want to believe. Laugh at whatever you want to laugh at!
But
before I found that I've already planned one for myself, a 30-day art
study which is too rough to put in DA Gallery and just don't want to put
it in the Scraps either, so I submit them in my Wattpad account: https://www.wattpad.com/user/SlytherclawPadawan
You
can actually see / read both of the challenges I'm joining in the
Wattpad account, serves as my simple form of artbooks, easy browsing to
just flip and all. It's been 12 days already, but of course I just got
the time to shout this out now omg!
Here are some of the best from 31 Days of Art Challenge:
As
you see they're more like of explorations than masterpieces so I don't
make them available for prints, although maybe I might revisit and
refine them someday. This does loosen up my 'stress' on my files
organizing and actually start drawing again LOL.
For the 31 Days of Art Challenge I'll be uploading the painting timelapses too to my Youtube account. Here's one done, more will come!
I think though, when I read the contest brief again I misunderstood the concept.. it may suppose to be like creating a full persona like I already did sometimes:
But instead the first idea coming to mind was this whole ship (with me being the supposed captain) going through multiverse - creating, exploring, conquering one colorful world at a time as a multi-interest artist (more explanation in the each artwork link / page). So I ended up drawing a scene, not really a character!
I did have other ideas of character close-ups but not enough time, already took a lot of time for this first concept and my recent state of being an everyday-loafing-sunbathing cat didn't help lmao!
So there you go, at least I made it, creating new art after a few months chilling out. I'm satisfied enough with the result, but as usual constructive comments are welcome.
Prints are available for each version, they are also available in Redbubble & Society6 (check out each artwork's link for details). Below are a few samples.
Don't forget to check the animated GIF process too:
And this time I managed to record the process and create a timelapse video as well! The colors are trippy though so beware if your brain is not up for it.
So follow me in my adventure..
Happily lost, happily found. Creating, exploring, conquering one universe at a time.
What a dream.. it started badly but then made my day!:
My family said I was invisibly surrounded by them ALL kinds of scary ghosts so
that 'means' I made all the wrong choices in life and I had to "fix my life" or something.. WELL I HATE TO BE TOLD WHAT TO DO
IN MY LIFE SO I NATURALLY REBELLED!!
I SUMMONED ALL MY INNER STRENGTH, COMMANDING MY SUBCONSCIOUS, CONSCIOUS, SUPER
CONSCIOUS MIND TO PROTECT MYSELF AT ALL COSTS JUST BURN THEM ALL UGLY GHOSTS
& SPIRITS!! I IMAGINED MY SOUL THROWING THEM AWAY, KICKING, CRUSHING,
BURNING WHATEVER WAY OF DESTROYING EACH OF THEM MALICIOUS TROLL!!!
But my Dad told me to just talk to one directly looming even a bit towering
behind me right now.. despite their 'warnings' I simply couldn't sense
anything but then gradually the spirit showed himself, transforming from a
tall scary rotten corpse to an ordinary middle aged guy next-door (imagine an
Asian version of Søren Kierkegaard, LOLOL!)
So I asked him what's the matter, why was he following me (the other ghosts
somehow simply withdrew).. unexpectedly he's asking everyday stuff - what's
the weather today, how's the world today after he's gone.. after that he even
gave me a little advice on how to deal with some stuff in life (I think I did an eyeroll here).. then somehow my family withdrew & vanished..
And wuuut.. later he changed into a handsome guy wearing those manly black
t-shirt, black leather jacket, black pants, sunglasses, complete with
well-groomed thin beard.. he then casually walked into his black jeep (to
return to his original realm since he already asked me what he's curious
about) while I was asking about what afterlife looks like..
There's suddenly 2 women near the jeep, one was persistently flirting with him
(which he ignored), I might also develop a little crush on him, haha.. Then
also suddenly an (averagely pretty) woman carrying a baby appeared from the
other side, calling the man as her husband (oh noes, why he had to be taken LOL).. so in the afterlife he doesn't get to be with his original partner in the previous life, so was with the wife.. At one point I somehow got a glimpse what the wife really looks like under the normal
human face: all human face EXCEPT with a creepy long nose, like pig's snout
but just very complex in design it's SCARY! And so my instincts got alerted
that the handsome guy could be not as good-looking as he seems.. well, might
as well let him go! XD
He did manage to answer my question about afterlife before going back to his
next world (THAT's afterlife, apparently!) with this wife & kid
(eventually the jeep was left behind, they'd go vanish into a vortex):
it's not heaven or hell, it's just another life. And no, there's no single
true religion in which you'd burn in hell if you don't submit to that one,
because he said before he died he's a Christian but a Buddhist at heart.. and
here in his afterlife / other life / other universe he's totally fine.
Therefore he also openly confirmed my personal compass - my beliefs about
life!
[I woke up.]

Oh wow that's just super cool - started from an encounter with scary ghost but
ended up with a chat with a kind of wise heartthrob, ahahahaha..!
Not going to take these as absolute confirmation or something, but sure hope
all these are TRUE!!
Just happy about my new, personal, DIY Everbook! The smooth, doft genuine cow
leather.. I feel like I've become somewhat a different person with this
milestone of a journal, haha..
Everbook
is a way to organize my projects in a loose way, so far I found this the most
effective & efficient non-digital method for a random brain like me to
keep up with everything. Aside from me haven't bought another smartphone after
it's
stolen almost a year ago
I also prefer to have an analog system, handwritten journals for this, just
love the feel of it.
If you're familiar with Evernote app you can see the name was derived from
there. The creator of the system is apparently a busy pastor who's got lots of
things going LOL. I found this when searching for some best journaling methods
on Youtube. Really love the simplicity and efficiency, not to mention the
slick-antique-rustic look of the leather cover, aaah..!
But you can replace the leather cover with anything else works for you. You
can create for yourself if you want, the instructions are here:
By all thundering cyclones, typhoons, hurricanes, sharks underwater volcanoes ^%#@!! Didn't expect myself to be this annoyed - writing a journal in Eclipse UI is so much pain!!
. When the internet is down just for a second somehow they removed the last 2-3 characters OF BLOODY EACH AND EVERY PARAGRAPH HECK NO EVERY. SINGLE. END OF A 'LINE' I've written + THEY REMOVE SOME IMAGES TOO, can't save properly! - HAPPENING BLOODY RIGHT NOW TOO!! SUPER MOST ANNOYING!!!
. No preview function.
. No autosave function..?
. Can't add non-standard emoticons between texts, must be in an entirely new line.
. No option to make the text smaller (subscript).
. HELLLLLL NO SEARCH FUNCTION in the journal / Post section AT ALLLLLL???!! - MOST ANNOYING!!
. No option to view journals in 100% LIST mode like in the old DA!! - ALSO MOST ANNOYING!
I've got 250+ logs of mah EPIC 'adventures' here in DA & beyond and the list mode had been extremely helpful whenever I want to find a specific entry and very useful for linking and organization - now I just realized I had taken that for granted WAAAAARRRGH..!!
Maybe it wouldn't be as frustrating if they at least include a search function but NOOO they didn't bother apparently!
Maybe it's a deliberate move? Maybe it's because they want to make DA's function super focused in art?
But then maybe I'd just move to Art Station?
Maybe I'm overreacting but having experienced the old wonder of amazing degree of freedom when it comes to journaling in DA as well as submitting art, this is absolutely a LET DOWN!
GODDDD.. now I'm gonna need to take note of all my journal links (and maybe art submissions too as well 'coz there's still no page number system in the gallery??!) 'coz I don't want my epic logs (AND artworks!) DROWNING in the depth of DA's current messy organizing system abyss!!
Art Process - 'Beast of the Bottomless Pit' was the first journal I wrote using Eclipse interface and I had to write it all first in Blogger before copying the texts & pics one by one to DA journal to avoid further frustration.
My experience with Blogger is awesome, no nuisance at all except the preview button doesn't work when you're in the editor (gotta click it via the dashboard).
So my dear beautiful watchers & curious visitors if you're interested reading this artist-philosopher-pirate's rants I shall write my logs in Blogger more and more. You can follow the updates via my Facebook profile.
If you're only interested in my Artist's side, the alternative is my Black Clover Creations' Blogger blog and you can follow the posts via its own Facebook page though there are still many things to update..
I do hope they're still improving the Eclipse journal's features but why am I feeling pessimistic this time? Hope it's not a valid hunch..
