Yeah, pretty much. It's a music MySpace page, so you can here my music, finally. I'm just getting the hang of it, and there's some issues with things, but feel free to check it out and message me or whatever. My username is "inari_alchemist"; here's a [link]

Also, a few months ago, I joined my friends' band as the vocalist, and am now the producer, as well. Check them out, too, called "A New Rise" [sorry, link isn't working, but the site is there]

As far as photo posting goes, I need to obtain Photoshop again (lost the old one in a system delete/restore fiasco) before you see anything new.

I've been busy, sorry... I'll check in for real this next week. Promise.

OMG The new dA interface is soooo different! I really, really like it though. It looks almost... retro. Very sleek.

See youse.

Where do I start?

First: HELLO EVERYONE! I'm back, yes, and after a 5 week hiatus? More you say? I've honestly forgotten, and overwrote the "offline for X weeks, X days" thing from logging on for one minute a few days ago. I was working on the last of my schoolwork and blah blah blah you've heard it before. I'll be involved once again, I'm happy to report.

Hey, what do you know? It's almost my one year anniversary for this deviantART account! How the time flies... actually, it feels longer than a year. So much excitement! I suppose breaking the 100 deviation mark is a good thing in the first year...

But one thing that stabs at me is that one of my best friends, SirFiNiX, has been way ahead of me in pageviews, although I try so hard.
...I suppose it lets me see the what is truly important, like close friends who provide you with excellent critiques, and fellow artists who inspire like no other...
BUT I STILL WANT FAME! (I'm not worried about fortune... that is fleeting...) I don't understand why I haven't been getting traffic! I guess it was the season... Summer is here, and more people are checking into their accounts. I remember so long ago, mainly in August, when I could stay on all day, giving comments, receiving comments... and when I was nice to someone, giving them honest critiques of their work, they would add me to their watch list. It was such a great concept, and it made my work as an independent, starving (not too far from the truth) artist all worthwhile.

Domo-kun says: "DID YOU KNOW? HelloSamurai has not had a new watcher since October! Fascinating, isn't it?"

But I digress. I won't care about pageviews or new watchers once I actually talk to everyone again, and Deus-Ex-Letum logs back in. (lol)

That's all for now. I'll post some new art. (maybe people will watch me if they like my art!) XD;

Peace and stuff, uh, Happy Fourth of July (for Americans), Happy Wimbledon mens' finals day (for Englanders and tennis fans), and Happy Birthday, His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama!

Postscript: dA's interface has changed a bit... things change when one is not looking...

So a friend of mine notified me that dA does not support the submission of music, whether original or not, due to copyright issues and stuff like that. So normally, I'd be a punk and do it anyway, but I have too much respect for dA to defy it. Besides, it isn't really that intuitive, since it was never meant to be. The FAQ about non-supported activities suggested that I use Dmusic.com, a site not unlike dA (and I think was founded by some of the same people?), and is free. Maybe I'll get more publicity there, as well, and that's what I want (naturally).

In other news, I love Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Who doesn't?

(Answer: People who haven't yet played it!)

As soon as I get an account on Dmusic, I'll letcha all know... one needn't be a member to listen to music there.

Peace,
HelloSamurai

w00t! I just submitted my 100th! Wow, that took a while.

And better yet, with my 100th deviation, I make my music debut! Wow, that took a while.

So I'm very proud to present as my first song, a remix that I made this past week. Listen here: [link]

Tell me what you think! I'll post some more later.

w00t,
HelloSamurai

P.S. Did I mention that I got Brawl? Anyway, yes I did, and Nintendo owns my soul again.
