Summer Fun
3 min read
So far this summer I have worked all over North Indiana and Southeast Illinois (namely the Chicago suburbs) for APX Alarm, and I've loved it. It's had its ups and downs, and it's been tough at times to want to keep going. But, that's just like any job you ever have; you have to take the good with the bad.
Know what I mean?
Well, today was one of those good and bad days (Danny you'll be pretty proud of me). Me and several of the other technicians went paintball-ing as an office. We were down a few guys so there was only seven of us, but it was okay some of the maps we fought on were pretty small and worked well for a small group of guys.
The first area we fought in we did a control the flag game (instead of trying to capture your enemies flag you had to get into the middle of an open courtyard and stick your flag into an orange parking pylon). My team was down one guy from the others but we still kicked their aces! I wiped the freaking floor both times we fought there.
I'm not going to do a play-by-play kind of thing for you, but the final tally for the day was a 6-2 win-loss in our favor. My Kill
eath ratio came out around 32:3 in the end. I freaking rocked it.
But in the last minute and a half of the 8th round I was coming into a bunker and my left leg gave out (football injuries from both high school and college). It crumpled up beneath me like a fricking accordion and now my left big toe, left, ankle, and left knee are all screwed up.
I laid there for nearly a full minute; my gun on the ground holding my leg in pain, until I heard we only had 30 seconds left. I grabbed my gun, rolled over, and spotted someone trying to crawl up to my position. He didn't immediately see me because he had his side to me, but I unloaded my last 30 rounds or so into his side. I felt pretty dang good as I hobbled off that course and laid on my couch all day because I bit it coming into a bunker for some combat.
So, I just felt like spewing that forth on this fine Monday evening, because it was a whole lot of fun, and when it comes down to it, in a few weeks when we go back I'll have two braces, icy hot, and a few ibuprofen to keep me in the fight.

So I've been on deviantart for well over a year, and this is the second journal entry I will have done. That seems about right, considering how often I update my personal journal (that's to say, just about never).
Well, that really has no bearing.
Anyways, I've started writing again and I'm loving it. After my computer crashing back in March of last year I didn't write hardly at all, but I've gotten started again and it feels great. My main characters are Liam and Camieo, but you will begin to find a smattering of Rico, Karl, Professor Samuelson, Peaches, Cream, Bruno, Vlad, etc. I may have to make a character profile for these people so that you know who the heck 'm talking about. Most of these short stories I'll put up here will eventually make their way into the book Im working on. Once I've finished the book I'll post those details here so you can buy it. 'Cause that would be awesome. I hope that my writing will garner honest feedback from readers. So Spread the word and let people know about what I'm writing.
Now, that I've rambled sufficiently long to cause a significant amount of boredom you may want to do something terrible to relieve yourself of the boredom that I have caused. Well, unless you film it and it's funny don't do it. But, if it's funny and you got it on film, do it and send me a link.
Oh by the way: if you're feeling bored go to baron-dane.mybrute.com/ and fight my brute. Let me know if I won or if I got my can handed to me in a trash compacter. That made no sense did it? Whatever, just check it out, it's actually a good bit of fun.

Well, I'm new here and I'm hoping to learn something from my visits. I have seen some incredible art and read some great literature already and wanna just add to the community.
Well when I was in grade school I was one of the best artists in my grade. People asked me to draw stuff for them and I spent a lot of my free time I drew plenty. But, when I hit middle school and compared my art to older and more experienced artists I got mad and gave it up. I haven't really drawn anything since (almost 10 years now) and have no ability. So, if anyone who visits has tutorials on drawing and coloring, send me a link and I'll look at it. I dearly want to learn to draw.
