Death of an old friend
3 min read
*Sigh* so it was announced, sad but true common sense has passed. im no poet, but the originator of this article is so Ill work to spread the message:
Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, “Common Sense,” who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as:
- knowing when to come in out of the rain;
- the early bird gets the worm;
- life isn’t always fair; and
- maybe it was my fault.
Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don’t spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (adults, not children, are in charge).
His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition.
Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children.
It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer sun lotion or an aspirin to a student, but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.
Common Sense lost the will to live as the churches became businesses and criminals received better treatment than their victims.
Common Sense took a beating when you couldn’t defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault.
Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her lap and was promptly awarded a huge settlement.
Common Sense was preceded in death, by his parents, “Truth” and “Trust,” by his wife, “Discretion,” by his daughter, “Responsibility,” and by his son, “Reason.”
He is survived by his 4 stepbrothers – “I Know My Rights,” “I Want It Now,” “Someone Else Is To Blame,” and “I’m A Victim.”
Not many attended his funeral, because so few realized he was gone. If you still remember him, pass this on. If not, join the majority and do nothing.
Enjoy, maybe if enough people see this, then common sense can be resuscitated, Hey one can dream

Because you so intently selected this journal i guess i should fill you in on myself.
1: I'm incredibly insecure.
2: I dont like people now i don't mean a person i mean people as in a group when you have a group of people there always retarded, retarded and violent; a person is capable of intelligence a group is not. (if you want to know more on this comment below)
3: personal insults don't work on me, take pop shots at my friends or family and your in for a fight.
4: I am incapable of longer term anger or holding grudges they leave me physically ill probably because im already a high stress individual the extra stuff is just to much.
5: I've had numerous crushes but I've never followed through because im afraid of ruining good friendships
6: I'm a furry and it defines a portion of me.
7: I dislike conflict and do my best to avoid it.
8: im introverted and keep to myself so if you attempt to avoid drama you wont find it here (well sometimes it surfaces but i don't get on the computer at those times so its really not a problem)

i highly doubt any of y'all are even paying attention to me anymore I've been pretty dead as of late.. just coming into to say hey to y'all i am alive and i have tons of work coming as soon as i get my new LAPTOP hooked up, with my scanners software which will be done shortly.
yesterday May7 was my birthday i turned 18; it was weird i didn't even realize it was my birthday till an hour after i woke, i woke up got dressed ate and headed out to school when i realized, huh its my birthday I'm 18... and i was really apathetic to it all as if it were an everyday event i just thought about it told two other people and it dissipated from my thoughts. is this it from here on out? are events i once laid awake all night thinking of to be reduced to something that has about as much an effect on me as oh say waking up? hmm oh well so be it.
some of the work coming is concept art in a game me and Asylum Nights is being contracted to do, more on that when i post though.
remember all that any and all criticism is accepted dont fear insta' flame by me or something I'm an artist that wants to get better and i wont know exactly where to improve if its not pointed out, advice would be helpful but merely telling me something's off or that the angle looks wrong is ok when left to my own devices i can find a solution its the problem that often elude me.
well thats all, have a good summer y'all!
