I've been doing a lot of practice lately, mostly involving portraiture (I used to regard this as a taboo!). So I've been, all at once, (1) hopeful to get this profile back in business as usual, (2) to start overhauling in the comment department in order to begin a new following, or (3) start a completely new profile (different name and focus) as a type of symbolic new beginning. I'm not sure... You see, I have a habit of starting new profiles all the time, like in videogames (even Animal Crossing, before I paid off all my debt!).

Here's the thing: I've made very few friends, but the ones that I have made are wonderful, and I hope you'll join me on a new profile (many of my friends are also absent from dA now). But I also want to be more community-minded, because I have become much more serious about my photography. For instance, I've been hired to document a Tibetan cultural exhibition in the Sacramento area (like last year, but this time it's an official project). I have friends, but I want watchers, too!

I'm contemplating this right now.

Of course, as dA operates, this site will still stay up, and I will still respond to comments. (Well, you know how that goes.)

Until then,
HelloSamurai_

That dawned on me the other day, how much I don't log on anymore. Naw, I have the time, I just forget. I will post more soon... in a few days.

Until then, peace out,
HelloSamurai

It's been so long since I last got on, longer still since I posted something... well, Ive been honing my photography skills, chibi skills (more Resident Evil chibis, by the way, Luis and HUNK - plus, I want to color the ones I've already done), and I've been very busy with my band and solo material. But MAN do I miss coming on! I miss everyone oh so much, and want to get back in contact.

Guess what! Resident Evil: Degeneration (CG film based on the actual videogames) is coming on DVD here in America on the 30th! I'm hyped!!!1 I saw a trailer for when I went to the The Day the Earth Stood Still (which, by the way, exceeded expectations - 'twas a decent remake[for those who didn't know that it was a 60's movie])

Man, life has been rather good, I suppose. Gonna be busy over Winter break, for sure.

Happy Christmas and a very New Year,
HelloSamurai_


P.S. My beloved Domokunplz account has received over 1,000 hits! I must thank people for their patronage (purely by word of mouth, for there are no deviations nor club membership involved), because, ummm... I have forgotten the password to the account (Firefox also somehow lost the information). I'm really dumb, yes? Oh, well, I guess there's a way to retrieve it... yeah, there is, but I'm lazy and distracted. >.>

P.S. 2.0: 3,000 HITS!!! I caught it! You all lose, no one gets a gift! Mwahahaha...

Naw, jk, I'll make something special for ALL of you, because I'm only responsible for 2,207 of my pageviews. ROFL... Be looking for a CHRISTMAS GIFT from HelloSamurai! Yeah!


Domo arigato gozaimasu! Thank you everyone, oh so much!

Hello again. I've been busy and stuff, but dropped by to update my journal.

How are you doing? I'm doing pretty well, myself.

. . . .

Well, thanks for your time.

Bye for now,
HelloSamurai_

I've been busy and still without Photoshop... I got a copy, but it had been installed by too many other people, so I couldn't register online in order to activate it.

My band, A New Rise, is gonna do a concert with two other bands this Saturday! My first performance! I'm nervous out my mind! w00t! XD;

So anyway, I have taken some cool pictures as of late, but can't freakin' touch them up to post them. And I'm also addicted to MySpace (I said I wouldn't do that!!!) ; By all means, please visit my site (newly decorated) and listen to my music! [see site in profile below]
