Hello boys and girls here in Dramaland, I mean... DeviantART. Sorry for no updates from me in a while, but life on the ol' railroad and other things have taken quite a lot of my time lately. I know, no excuse for that, but I'll try to do better in the future (haha, yeah right!) . Anyways, nothings changed except that for the next 6 months, I am now working the daytime run instead of being stuck on night runs like I was for almost 5 years, so hopefully, I will be able to catch up on a lot of unfinished sketches that have piled up as well as attend a few art shows that I used to do before going to nights. Plus, I now have my weekends to enjoy so that's an added bonus that I am very happy to have.

As for here, I still pop in from time to time to check my comment section and see how many people visit. I am always amazed at how I get so many pageviews and mostly positive notes on my art when I haven't uploaded any art in over a year now. I guess people need to see someone like me draw crappy artwork to make them do a better job with their's! And, my good friend (and incredibly evil) would have to go and tag me to get me to do a tell-all thingie on what makes me click, so just for you, my cakey friend, I'll do this, but whenever I figure out a way to make my car sea-worthy, I'm gonna drive all the way to your house and throw a cake at you!

So without further delay (and I wish I could), here's 11 thingies about me:

1. I love restoring old steam locomotives back to active service.

2. I am the last one in my family to carry on the tradition of working for the railroad. It ends with me.

3. I used to own a real caboose, before I had to sell it because of financial problems.

4. I read a lot of manga comics and watch anime online. Mangafox and CrunchyRoll are my favorite sites to view them.

5. My favorite dessert is yellow cake with buttercreme frosting.

6. I would like to meet some of my friends here someday, provided I don't scare them to death by my ugly looks!

7. People naturally come to me as friends, but I tend to be a recluse.

8. I am very self-conscience of my looks. I have a embarrassing medical condition that makes me avoid people at times.

9. I someday want to start my own shortline railroad and run both freight and tourists with steam locomotives.

10. I also want to retire early and live near a beach far from railroads!

11. I love sleeping all day if I can.

Now, for the 11 questions given to me:

1. What's your favorite food?
Virgins, I mean.. Fried chicken!

2. Who inspires you?
Anyone that draws from the heart and loves what they draw.

3. What are you currently wearing?
Black shirt and blue jeans.

4. What's your opinion of Lady GaGa?
Overrated.

5. What's your favorite dinosaur?
Tyrannosaurus Rex, and thank the gods they are all dead!

6. Where would you go if you could travel anywhere?
Japan and Southeast Asia. That, and Europe.

7. How many pets do you have?
One very spoiled chiuahua dog.

8. What would you ask your best friend if you had to ask him/her something new?
Could I draw you anyway I wish to?

9.Who's your favorite Happy Potter character?
Hermoinne. (I think this is how you spell it).

10. What's something you really dislike?
Seeing beautiful girls smoke and disfiguring their bodies with horribly awful tattoos.

11. What's your favorite song at the moment?
Long Cool Woman In A Black Dress by The Hollies. An oldie from 1973 I remember listening to back when I was a teenager.

I won't make anyone do this, but I am glad to have kept my promise to you, my cakey friend. Time is at a premium these days to do request art or questionare. I hope this answers a few things and hopefully not turn away anyone from me. Have a very awesome day everyone.
