I know it's been a while since I've posted, but with two jobs, and very limited computer time it is very hard to post. I've been doing a bit more on the creative side, drawing and writing. Also, I've joined Twitter, finally. I'll give more frequent updates there, though this will have more explanations than you can get on Twitter. Look for links from Twit to find out when I've updated here. shika_prince
Please follow me if you want to keep updated.

Soon, I hope, I will be completely revamping the entire domain known as shenkai.org.  Look for updates soon!

It is amazing really, how long we've waited for this. My father always spoke about his cousin, whom my second eldest brother was named for, and how he went missing in the war, but now we've got him home. Tragically lost at such a young age, he will be buried on his birthday, 58 years later.

Well, it's been a long while since I've posted, and boy have things changed.

I am no longer a manager of a small copy & print shop, now I am working part time at Staples, and still looking for something more permanent and full time. I'll probably go back to being a correctional officer, they pay better, the benefits are free and take effect immediately, and there is no customer service skills involved.

On a more personal note, nothing has changed there either, don't know why I brought it up.

As far as my writing goes, I've joined the 30Kisses community, and will be posting my entries to that challenge here as well as on my site and at the appropriate fanfiction archives (ff.net, mm.org, etc.). All will be behind lj-cut, but the links off site will be before the cut.

That's all for now. look for the first challenge piece soon!

Today, I'm feeling a little low, but found this, and realized things could be so much worse.

( Remember me. )

I don't normally do this, but This is exactly what I needed today. It brightened my day, may it brighten yours!

  NOW ...........

( Humorous Story about a donkey )</div>

Well, life has been really kicking my butt lately. My store is closing, my niece left, and I need to get a new job to pay for my new auto-baby.
I am under so much stress, and then I get an anonymous message from someone from my past. It should be interesting to see what happens.
Not that I'm complaining, but why does it seem like all the people I knew in the past are married with children?
Oh well! But that is all I've got time for... gotta run!

 Haven't been able to post/update in a while, but work is piling up big time.. and I wanna go home!
It's back to school time, and in my business, that's when we're the busiest. Hopefully it will die down a little soon, then be prepared for a really big update!

Ok, it's been almost two months since I posted (how embarrassing!). I got a new car to replace "Little purr, Big roar" on the 9th of July, adopted a fanlisting and well, done a whole lot more other stuff. It seems like I've been really busy, and I've started designing t-shirts on the side as well! a better thought out update later... now if only I had time to do stuff I'd like to do, like revamp my continuum... it's feeling a little dated.

Or, How My Mom Totaled My Car...

Thank goodness it isn't as serious as it sounds. We live in the part of Texas that is being inundated with rain, lots of rain, buckets of rain. You get the point!
Well, my mom works with me, and she had a doctor's appointment to go to, so she borrowed my car. It was nice, a little cloudy outside, so I wasn't that worried. Then around the time she should have been returning to work, it is raining outside so hard that through the storefront window, it looked like a wall of water, you couldn't see at all. It didn't last any longer than ten minutes, but that was enough. The water stopped and the phone rang. It was my mother telling me she rolled my car.
Fortunately, she was fine. She literally only got a few scratches on her arm from where the driver's side window shattered. Air bags did not deploy, unfortunately, the car itself was totaled.
When I finally got to see my baby, it looked pitiful. The driver's side was flattened from where she hit the concrete barricade. The front two tires were turned in, as if the car was trying to brace herself from the impact of going into the ditch, head on. The driver's side looked like a one of those poor Techron cars had been cartoon punched in the face, the hood was curled in and twisted up, exposing her insides.
Her tires were still fine, her doors and hatchback still worked fine, none of her fluids were leaking, she was just so twisted frame-wise that it would have cost more to fix her than I owed on her, and even after that she probably wouldn't be the same little car I had known and loved.

As for why I called it the longest running April Fool's Joke, well, She bought the thing for me on April 1st, 2004... I guess it's only fitting that she be the one to take it away.

I got this from a friend on myspace, and figured it was a bit useless, but interesting none the less...

SUPPOSEDLY if you've seen over 85 movies, you have no life. There are 239 movies on this list. if you've seen it then put an X next to it, add them up, change the header adding your number. 

Ok, so it's an indy group, not quite rock, not quite r&b, not quite adult contemporary.... You just gotta hear it to understand... So visit http://www.myspace.com/dbmartingroup first, hear the songs then join 
Touch The Sky - the DB Martin Group Fanlisting

That I am able to have a post entitled that is a good thing. Period. My father recently underwent surgery, a bowel resection to remove a fist-sized growth that was actually wrapped around the lower part of his colon. That was scary in and of itself, but he pulled through alright, better than alright if you consider that he is over eighty years old. We're still awaiting results of the biopsy, but so far it would seem that they got everything, and just in time too.

Other good news, that seems pale now in comparison with the saving of a life, is that I am finished with all the fanlistings I have been approved for. With TheFanlistings.org holding off on their updates due to hotmail problems, (I can't say I was ever really happy with hotmail before now, and now I like them even less -- many ebay problems with them before) I am holding off on applying for the others I want, for now.

So it would seem that there is light at the end of the tunnel, and maybe I'll get there someday.

This is going to be the longest post, only because of the videos. I'm working on my Caveman fanlisting, and can't help but post this here, the ads, in a bit of chronological order... as if anyone cares.

We'll start with the Whole Series, connected, with as few mentions of that company as possible (no white screen)

Well, it seems that there is no end to the blogish style sites around the net, and I've found two that I thought would be interesting.  Catster and Dogster. No really! You can have a page for each pet-child in your family. So far I have two: Fluffy and Bastet

Yay! It's shenkai.org's 2nd anniversary, so I'm redoing the layout, again!
Even better, there are three upcoming fanlistings! I'm so excited about them!

• Gundam Wing Fanfiction (All Genres)
  
• Duo and Wufei Fanfiction (All Genres)
• Geico: Caveman

I must say I'm most excited about the last one. I don't know why but I like those guys. Apparently I'm not alone, since ABC is working on a sitcom for next fall, I hope it comes out!

Well, that's about the size of it. I've always loved Duo Maxwell's hair, and now I have a physical fanlisting to prove it. Soon!!!

My collective is growing, now I've got two new fanlistings that I am adopting and one that I am starting.... Yay!

• Darkness Within - a Vampire Hunter D (1st Movie) Fanlisting
• What's in a Name? - a Namelistings Fanlisting
• Elegant Reflections - an Aqua Mirror (Sailor Neptune's Talisman) Fanlisting

I've applied for others, but have yet to hear back. Links will be added as each site opens. More to come!
