Well, it's been a little bit since I've added or updated a journal. LOL

For you poser folks, I've added quite a few more freebies to my website. Some basic textures, a character morph for V4.1 (does NOT WORK in Daz/Studio), a couple of trash can props, a casket prop, a toybox prop for the poser kiddies.

Added a few more images to my gallery here.

I've also added a few new desktop wallpapers to the wallpaper section of my website. There's various sizes; just click on the thumbnail for the size you want. If you need or would like a different resolution of something, send me a note and ask, and I'll see if it can be done. (Depends on the image, though.)

That out of the way... time to get a little serious here, guys.

Artists have, for most of humanity's history, had a lot of input to give and express during times of war. This time is no different. I do not normally go on about real-world issues in venues like this, but this is, I feel, important to get the word out there. You don't have to do anything but sign the petition. There are no unwounded soldiers in war. None. They may not get hurt physically, but they never come back the same as when they left, and like it or not, they need more care sometimes after they've come home than they did while they were in the field or while they're injured. PTSD is a big issue, flashbacks, nightmares, high stress levels, hyperalertness, hypersensitivity, emotional distress and instability just to name a few. When they come home, they need just as much support as when they are in the field.

Too many people often forget that.

The button will bring you to a site. Note that it WILL begin auto-playing a video and music. Just so that you are aware of that. I'm not a big fan of metal bands at all, but in this case, Drowning Pool is doing the right thing. Sign the petition if you feel the gumption to do so. And if you don't... ask yourself why. I won't force you, no one can force you. The choice is up to you. This might be an art-related site, and many may use this venue of artistic expression as a way to get away from the real world and real life, but sometimes art and politics, art and war, walk the same path, or at least share the same space.

For me... this is the case. For you, it might be different, but regardless of that fact, the button is there, and it will remain there for the unforseeable future. You don't have to agree with the war to recognize that the soldiers are very often simply following orders and to support them. They aren't the ones causing the war. They're just the ones fighting in it and bleeding for the war, regardless of which nation's armed forces they belong to, they deserve the support for doing so.

I'm done. Have a good night.
