... America is a strange and ultimately backwards nation...
It's high federal courts have ultimately deemed to demand that the citizenry recognize and embrace an abominable practice that is not only counterproductive to the health of a state, but ultimately unnatural in the sight of nature and man...
And then, for some inexplicable reason, the people of America celebrate this travesty...
No nation in the history of humanity has every allowed homosexual matrimonial union, let alone celebrate it. No nation, that is, until America decided to do it...
Make no mistake; I do not hate homosexual people. Some of my own family is homosexual. With that said, I personally do not care for it, as I find it wholly unnatural. But regardless, America has always been viewed by much of the rest of the world as a country full of strange and rather backwards people, and your citizenry is only reinforcing that stereotype...
But, by all means, do go ahead and celebrate whilst you can. Soon enough, it will become apparent to most of those involved in a homosexual union that marriage equality is not worth much of what they will have to deal with in the way of taxation, legal obligations, and the ever present specter of divorce and unhappiness that seems to hang above the heads of the rest of society...
Ultimately, I am ambivalent towards the whole affair; disappointed, but ambivalent nonetheless. Life will continue on, and though the nation of America seems to plummet ever further into the cesspit of its own culture, there will ultimately come a time in the far future where none of it will matter... America will become a synonym for excess, perhaps, or perhaps a fable or cautionary tale on the dangers of socialism and majority rule, but in the grand scheme of human development, it will remain a footnote, just as a hundred myriad other past civilizations have been...

It's times like these where I wonder if moving to this country was a good idea.

... I don't even know if anyone will read this, but in the off chance that they do, I'll just come out and say that I'm finally getting around to uploading some of my newer pieces. As such, I suppose it would be prudent to inform anyone who might actually give a damn as to what they should expect within the coming week.
Perhaps most notably will be the many Metroid pieces I've been working on as of recently. Aside from that, I'll be positing some 40K works, and a small portion of Invader Zim as well. I might as well post the various DOTA2 pictures I've made as well. A small selection from various Nintendo franchises might show up, but I wouldn't hold my breath on that. Finally, you may expect a few religious artworks and original doodles as well.
Well, now that that is out of the way, I may as well head over to the local FedEx and get some of these scanned up... Unless of course they're too big even for their machine. Anyways, just thought I'd get this posted so as to motivate myself this coming week.
Here's hoping.
UPDATE.
Hah, I whipped myself into it, but I managed to get it! 29 individual drawings, most of them done this month. All of them are absolute rubbish compared to most everything on this site, but that's not important - I actually did something on the internet after I said I would do it! That's so weird!
Anyways, check out the stuff... Or don't, I don't care - I mainly use this place to conserve space in my studio; what do I care if people look at my crap?
Later!

Gottimhimmel! It's been a while, hasn't it? I have to say that life has been on the up and up as of late - I've officially retired, I've officially married, I've officially gotten a job, and I've officially immigrated to the United States! My wife is as beautiful and happy as ever, and this in turn makes me happy! What's more - I've finally gotten back into the swing of things and have once more started to draw. The  first thing you may have noticed, if you even look at my artwork haha, is that I've been particularly active with a site called the Greasy Moose.com, a magnificent site made of nightmare fuel and fun! What's more, I've finally started to work on several follow up pieces to my Metroid pieces and my TF2 mini-fictions. Today I intend to post a picture of Metroid's Ridley in his juvenile stage, as I've found a distinct lack of any truly good pieces on the subject.

On a more personal note, I'd like to welcome my good friend Emily into the dA community; It's good to see you on frau! You should check out her website, Emily's Back Yard - It's a wonderfully informative site on many of nature's oddities.

May God bless all of you in your endeavors!

It's Official!

It's official! Rebbecca and I will be married on the 24th of April, 2012! :date: Why 2012 instead of 2011? Well, I went ahead and applied for one more year of military service; and it's just as well that I did - Adolf, Jeger, Schneider and Charles also put in their applications; we're all in the same squad!!! :la: I cannot wait to hook back up with the gang - it will be wonderful! We will be moving to America once we tie the knot, and my citizen ship is automatically assured due to a short tour of duty of took under the American Banner when the war in Afghanistan began, (Before the UN sent any official forces - not that they can even do that without drafting another 6 resolutions...
:unimpressed: ) Rebbecca and I have also decided where in America we will be immigrating to - Oklahoma! Why Oklahoma? Well, for one thing, it has one of the cheapest housing market in the country. It also has less crime than a lot of other states. From what I can tell, the weather is a good comparative with the weather of my hometown, and it's in a part of the country called the 'Bible belt' - and since I am a staunch believer in the Christian Faith, I think I'll feel right at ease. Land is also cheaper in Oklahoma than in most other states. In Oklahoma, there are no citizen gun bans to worry about, there are no outrageous laws that would prevent me from teach our future children the things I want them to learn, I won't be taxed for having children, and they'll be able to grow up in the safest part of the safest and greatest country in the world! :D I can't think of any better a place for me to raise, take care of and love my family! :love:

Twenty Years ago today, on the Ninth of November in the year 1989 of our Lord Jesus Christ, An event of Epic proportions began to take place in the Great yet divided city of Berlin, and eventually the rest of a then Divided Germany as well. This event would forever change the world and shall always stay in the minds of those who, like me, were there to witness it in all its glory. This event reunited thousands, no, Millions of people, who for the past 28 years had been separated from friends and loved ones. Yes, I am indeed talking of the great and magnificent fall of the greatest and most well know symbols of tyranny and oppression of the Twentieth Century; Der Sturz der Berliner Mauer - The fall of the Berlin Wall... An oppressive wall, the workings of which began even before Walter Ulbrict's Famous Lie "Niemand hat die Absicht, eine Mauer zu errichten!", was started on the Thirteenth of August in the year 1961 under the false guise of an 'antifaschistischer Schutzwall' construction never truly ended, as the DDR's Government continually added extra defences and structures through most of its history. Ironically, this great and powerful defence was brought down not by weapons and soldiers, but by the voices of 120,000 Nikolaikirche movement protesters chanting "Wir wollen raus!" and "Wir bleiben hier!" That was the beginning of the end of the USSR and all of its various branches... Since that day, we have been Free! We are a Free Nation of Free People! Our Economy is the third largest in the world! Our Story is one of the greatest tales to have ever been told and we will continue to add more to it as time goes on! Germany has held both historical and political significance since the days of Rome, it has been a central player in the development of history since the days of Charlemagne, and it will continue to influence western civilization till the End of Days. I ask all those who may read this that they make take the time to celebrate with Deutschland on this momentous occasion and party like its 1989! God bless every one of you, and may he keep you with him till the day you go to meet him!
