Tomorrow will be my 8th year on deviantArt.
YAY!

Pretty sure that's the longest I've ever been a member on any website. So cookies for that.

Beyond that. Nothing much to report. I've been around (not uploading anything really) but I've been in the #devart chat more and more lately just catching up with everyone.

Started a new job with a cable company (old news to some)

built a new computer

fun things like that.

Anyhow. Enjoy the rest of your day

Just a random though journal about thunderstorms. I love thunderstorms

buttt first.

First: I haven't updated my journal in ages. I am still around in #damn quite a bit. I am not dead. Promise!

Second: For those easily offended or look into things too deep. This journal is not meant to "shove God down your throat" kinda stuff so slow your roll before posting something on my journal going "OMG STFU U NUT" or something.
Anyhow.

I remember this saying (that I can't really remember who said it or the exact words and I'm too lazy to google) that said, "if you don't believe in God, you haven't seen a sunset/sunrise."

Good saying, but I've taken that saying and turned it to something that I think is better. If you don't believe in God, you haven't seen an awesome thunderstorm

People might be all "say wut  dawg? u had 2 mny cookiez brah!"

Yeah I know. I just find them fascinating. They calm me but they also give me an adrenaline rush. The reason I bring this all up is cause where I live hasn't seen much rain this year (we're 13 inches below our regular rain fall for the year) and we finally had a nice thunderstorm last night.

Also just a fun little side story about how I came to  love storms.

When I was a kid..like 4-5yrs old I remember just freaking out over storms. By "freaking out" I mean I ran away and hid, plugged my ears and closed my eyes lol. I guess what any other normal young kid what would do.

How did I get over this?

This is by far my most favorite memory I have with just my father and I.

We lived out in California. We had a few acre property that we lived on (had horses and such) but yeah. I remember one day a storm was  rolling in. I was gonna run away, but instead my father stopped me. He looked at me and told that we should go outside and check it out and watch it come in and he would explain how thunderstorms "worked" and why I shouldn't be such a panzy. He took my outside, we pulled out 2 lil plastic lawn chairs and sat down. We watched as the storm rolled in from the west, over a hill coming right at us. You could see the show this storm was putting on perfectly. It was just..I don't even know. I was in awe as I watched and as my dad taught me about storms. By the end of the "talk" it was about to hit us and we headed in. Instead of running and hiding like a baby this time around, I watched from the windows and every time I saw a lightning strike I'd run to my dad and try to be all "smart" and explain to him what he taught me lol.

So yeah. Just a little back info on why I love storms. If I could storm chase I would do so in a second. They are just amazing to me. Hence why my lil saying up above.


Like I said. Random journal is random. Thanks for letting me share my story

Also in other news. Rev Run (from Run DMC) is coming to our church today and I gotta go have a good one everyone

If you haven't noticed, my hat (@) is gone. I've almost hit 2 years with the MN@ team and it's time that it comes to an end. There was no "drama", I didn't ask to be removed, I wasn't "forced out." Just wanted to clarify that, because most people assume that it seems

ANYHOW. It's been a blast. I had a great time doing what I did, and "working" with the other @'s. They are like a second family. Great group of people.

If you haven't already, go give love to Oukan Narfmaster leaf-lover and TerraRhapsody as their time also came to an end with the team. They all brought something awesome to the team and deserve much much hugs, love, spankings, ect.

I will still be hanging out in #devart. I have too much fun in there to even think of it. I also will be in my like room #mackshideaway, so if you wanna come in there, by all means, come in

Thanks to Tachy-on and fourteenthstar for allowing me to be apart of this experience, for giving me the opportunity to help out the dA community in some way. Much love to you both.

I will now shut up, and pretend that I'm /kick(ing) some people

PS: On a side note, I've been a deviant for 7 years now. I missed my dA birthday D: lulz. I've never been on a site for more then 7 years (unless you include my e-mail ) YAAAAAYYYY!! BRING ME COOKIES!

For those of you who care, yes CynthiaCynical and I did get married yesterday

Thanks everyone for all the support and well wishes.

If anyone would like to get us something off our registry we would be honored and blessed.

We  are registered @ Bed, Bath and Beyond as well as Target. Just put in my real name or CynthiaCynical's. If you don't know our real names or need help, note her or I.

Thanks everyone again for the support. It's amazing.
