March 20th, 2015 was the 4th year anniversary of my deviantArt account.

Second, I've been busy with life and stuff. That happens.

I doubt that I will close this account, but I have not been in the mode to post more content on deviantArt.

Keep creating!

Gone, but never forgotten

In case you did not know, deviantArt's keywords changed to tags. You can read the linke djournal post for more information/

Overall, while I am glad that deviantArt is making a change, I am still unsatisfied with the tag/keyword system for one reason: I cannot tell what the. Previously, when I would enter keywords, I would type the keywords both with and without spaces in order to make sure that I had formatted my keywords correctly. For example, if I uploaded a graphic that belonged in the Digital Art category, I would enter both "Digital Art" and "DigitalArt." in the keywords. Eventually, I realized that I had left out underscores. Still, I was always unsure of what my keywords were. Since spaces were used instead of commas, I was never certain if my keywords were separate or not.

Now, when I heard that deviantArt was changing the keyword system, I was happy. Now that I have used it, I still hate the system since I am still unsure if my tags are correct or not. I have been searching if users should enter underscores or type the words together for tags that would require spaces, such as Digital Art or Mixed Media, but I have been unable to find any answers.

If deviantArt wants an example of what to do with keywords, then it should look to Tumblr.  When you enter tags on a Tumblr post, you are able to see word after you type it, even if you use spaces. Example: #Digital Art. On Tumblr, what you see is what you get. So, I never have any confusion about what I am typing for tags. 

Still, at least I have a slightly better idea of my tags at least.

Yes, I know that this is a first world problem; and that I am being stupid and (probably) missing something obvious. 

On the bright side, at least football season is underway. 

I was browsing through a bag filled with some possessions that I had since grade school and high school. As a searched through these old papers, I was instantly filled with memories from my past. It seemed as though it were only yesterday when I was in grade school or performing on stage with my friends in high school. In reality, it has been a long time as I am almost finished with college.

During my nostalgia trip, I found most of the drawings that I made during high school. The drawings are terrible, but they still fill me with memories of my past, whether I am remembering riding my bike through town with my friends, worrying about tests and getting into college, or getting autographs from my friends at the end of our plays.

Since I have so many drawings, I am going to upload some of them to deviantArt. However, I do not have a scanner with me, so I will have to take a picture of them with my camera. Please excuse the poor quality. 

On August 11, 2014, Robin Williams was found dead apparently of suicide.

Upon hearing the news, I became heart-broken. Not only because the world lost such a wonderful actor who was also a great humanitarian and all-around wonderful person, but because I have thoughts about committing suicide every now and then.

People with depression will go to great lengths to hide their true feelings. Do not be afraid to talk to someone who has depression. If he or she says no, then keep trying.
