He died a heroIt is with a heavy heavy heart and tears in my eyes that I reveal the latest news on Hari (Elden)
He died a hero....
Hari, my sister's boyfriend, who stepped forward to push my sister out from the direct path of a speeding car, whom witnesses and officials say saved my sister's life... has died a hero.
Hari died in the hospital as a result of "complications of multiple blunt force trauma."
On July 16th around 10pm my sister and Hari were walking home with my sister's 4 dogs (who were all killed) a drunk driver going 80mph down a 35mph residential road with no lights on, plowed through the stop sign on the far side of the intersection, my sister was in its direct path, he stepped forward and shoved my sister out of the way, allowing her to escape with a compound fracture of her leg... but he took the full force of the blow, loosing his leg, breaking his pelvis and causing severe internal injury.
Hari never left the ICU after the accident, he was due to stay there for weeks, we had been

Silver Rain: Chapter 2It had been two years since Andromeda Silvermoon, current
over seer of Quel’Thalas, had left the dying lands of Outland to return home
with both naga and blood elves alike. Rommath had welcomed her home after a
long time away from Quel’Thalas, and steadily the people rebuilt themselves.
Andromeda had started out as kind and sweet, a truly motherly
person, but became cold and bitter as the months went on. Her once soft
features had turned into darker ones that made her appear older. She was known
for her bright silver blonde hair and silver eyes, and now both had changed.
Rommath worried for her, she spoke only to a few people it seemed.
It stung the Magister’s heart to see her like this. The
Andromeda he knew was a beautiful girl with intelligence and love glittering in
her silver eyes, now she was so tired that he rarely ever saw that girl.
Rommath had gone over what may have made her change.
At first he thought it was the male naga that was glued to
her side, but he

Cooking with acornsUnder our oak trees are piles of plump, heavy, acorns this year, with hardly any worm holes in them. OMG they look so delicious! HEY! You CAN eat them! They only need to be sorted, dried, shelled, chopped, boiled, drained, reboiled about seven times, dried out, chopped again ...
... and then they taste absolutely terrible!!
Don't bother.

A POEM FOR THE GRIEVING...A POEM FOR THE GRIEVING...
Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn's rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there, I did not die...
I lost my dog and I am very upset.... Don't expect any uploads soon.
I know haw people who have lost pets feel so this is for all of you and your lost pet.

About sinYou know, there are so many people out there - people who just can´t seem to give a shit about the people surrounding them.
But, did you actually take a LOOK into the bible? Like, ONCE in your freakin' lifetime?
I mean it IS written that black people are bad. Evil. They simply should not be tolerated, as god says.
Being friends with them... liking them, just hanging out with them..
How were they even allowed to get "equal" rights?
The bible clearly states that blacks are sin.They should be separated I think.
Separated in buses and trains, in streets and in the supermarket.
And, of course, try to keep them away from your kids, they may even be harmfull.
Take care because if you let your kid near them they might as well become black.
And now change "black people" with "gay people" and look just how stupid you sound.
Guys. If ONE being comes up to me again, raging about gay people, their love, their rights - like the world would go down if they married - I gonna high-five em. With a

Thought for the day…"You'll catch crap no matter what sort of net you throw out."
This applies to a lot of people, but I made it up for an artist friend, and I think it's important to remember. Not everyone will like what you draw or write. So, you might as well do what you like.

August first is Chick-Fil-A day...So let us of the gay community celebrate properly! Here's what you do...dress up as flamboyantly as you possibly can and purchase some food from a company that supports Gay Rights, such as McDonalds or Oreo, and take it in inside of a concealing bag. Oh, extra points if the food you get is a chicken dish that is better than the classic chicken sandwich from Chick-Fil-A (Such as the McDonalds Classic Chicken, grilled, not breaded!) . Oh, also, more bonus points if you walk to their register holding hands and order one of their new shakes to share and exchange through kisses!
Next, sit with someone of the same sex, openly enjoying yourself and possibly holding hands, talking about how much you love each other, and if you are really close, sharing some pecks or longer kisses.
:iconlgbtplz:
Help support the gay community by NOT supporting Chick. I get the feeling you definitely
would help if you knew this fun wittle fact. CFA donated nearly 2mil to funding the anti-gay movement

This hits a little close to homeBecause I had a three-legged dog too, and she never seemed to care either.

I still miss you, girl.

I think there's something we've misunderstood......about how cats feel towards us.
Moments ago, while I was browsing through DA here, I came across a legend I remembered hearing about a few years ago. It was the story of the Rainbow Bridge.
For those who don't know the story of the Rainbow Bridge, it is a beautiful paradise for the domesticated animals to go when they die, waiting for the human they bonded with to join them so they can cross the rainbow bridge together.
After recalling the story, I began to think back on two pets I had when I was very young. They were a duo of cats, going by the names of Sasha and Max. Sasha was a beautiful dark brown tabby with white on her chest and paws, and Max was a long haired Marmalade Tabby. I had them for atleast maybe a year or two, but they died of Feline Lukimia.
When I remembered them, I began to doubt that they would wait for me, as I was unsure if a pet would wait for the human they lived with if the human was not good enough to them. I recalled on having done some pretty childish thi

Animal Abuse.I died today.
You got tired of me and took me to the shelter. They were overcrowded and I drew an unlucky number. I am in a black plastic bag in a landfill now. My collar was dirty and too small, but the lady took it off before she sent me to the Rainbow Bridge.
     Would I still be at home if I hadn't scratched your sofa? I didn't know what it was, and it was soft. You forgot to get a scratching post .
     Would I still be at home if I had been housebroken? Rubbing my nose in what I did only made me ashamed that I had to go at all. There are books that would have taught you how to teach me to go to the litter box.
     Would I still be at home if I hadn't brought fleas into the house? Without anti-flea medicine, I couldn't get them off of me after you left me in the yard for days.
     Would I still be at home if I hadn't meowed? I was only saying, "I'm scared, I'm lonely, I'm here, I

Art theft on FB again-good news-I just wanted to take a moment and make a quick journal concerning a Role Player on FB who goes by the name of Nyeusi.
He and I have spoken and he is removing the stolen images on his FB.
So the reporting to me of him can stop now. The problem is being taken care of.
I'm soo happy I have such great fans like you guys who lookout for me and my pictures.
And now here's something that may help anyone who goes through an art thief problem.
Do not greet with profanity or harsh words.
I know you may be lividly angry when someone takes an image from you or a friend and alters it/re-uploads it for the sake of themselves without asking you for your permission to do so..... But often times the people who do this are kids who don't know they're doing anything wrong. And when you attack them with profanity, then they will retaliate with profanity. Then what have you got? two people yelling profane things at each-other? That barely gets you anywhere.
So greet them wit

Oh my god, I'm so sorry!
This year I've also had a lot of tragedies, I got struck by a car door while riding on a bicycle on full speed, I couldn't write for about two weeks. I had around 20 cats in the beginning of the year, but it's it's only around 7. My cats caught Feline Panleukopemia, and we didn't have the money for hospitalization. My cat (who was like a best friend to me) died. He was actually on the road of recovery, but it was really hot in my room, so at night, he climbed over the window fan, and, well... he fell of the third floor. My parents woke me up when they came in to feed him, but we couldn't find him anywhere, and then my dad looked out of the window, he saw him. I swear I'm crying while I'm writing this. And he was so young! He was barely over a year old! And he would have probably survived if not for the fall.
My mom's cat also died. She got pregnant right before she got sick, and she couldn't make it. She died in about three days. And all of her kittens died, so we have nobody to remind us of her. Her last kitten died yesterday. She didn't look a lot like her, but she was still fluffy and cute. Her sister, who looked just like her mother, died a few days before that. She was more docile (just like her mom), and she was dark grey, and small... I will never forget them.
On top of that, there's Feline HIV going around the neighborhood, and we have to pay close attention to the cats while they're sick to make sure that they don't have HIV.

For me, it's the same as loosing a human friend, since my little Bully (the cat who fell off of my window) was like a human best friend. It happened month ago, and I still cry every night.

geeez.. :'C that iz so rough.

I am deeply sorry for your losses and the hardship you guys must still endure as this plays out, the perpetrator sounds like a whole pile of garbage and I'm thankful that he was caught and shall be held accountable for his actions & that your sister and her boyfriend are alive.
_{-They should smash up this Walden guys hips and leg.. seems only fair that he should never drive and endanger anyone else again.}

*LilleahWest Aug 7, 2012

sadly the tragedy worsened...
Hari died 13 days after the hit and run T^T

*carnival Aug 7, 2012 Professional Traditional Artist

I am so sorry again, sometimes fate is just so cruel.
-I take it that factor will most certainly land Walden a more sever sentence. (still can't believe that this douche bag was allowed enough freedoms to even be behind any sort of wheel.) :'C some people.

Glad they Caught The guy who Hit your sister and her Boyfriend! Bastard better get what he deserves... Or there will be hell to pay!!!

I glad to here they arrested the Driver! Bastard better get what he deserves!!! Or they'll be Hell to pay o.o

I am so sorry to hear that, and I will pray for your family.

~VoodooWolfStudios Jul 23, 2012

omg that is horrible, im glad they caught the man who did it, im so sorry about the dogs and am glad Hari is doing better and your sister as well. Stay strong, its going to be hard, but its doable. Grief and loss is a part of life and believe it or not, it will help you come to terms with what happend in a healthy way, its only unhealthy if you let the event take control of you. You and your loved ones are in my thoughts!

*gwengryffindor Jul 22, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

I know I don't follow you or anything, but I just would like to say a couple things.
I have a dog, and if I lost him, I don't know what I would do, much less lose 4 of him... The day of the accident... was my sister's birthday. We were all off having fun and laughing and playing games with her and her fiance's family... While you almost lost yours... While I am not christian, I will pray for all of them, even the dogs-no ESPECIALLY the dogs.

I can't donate, but I'm glad that he was caught, while simultaneously upset and angry that catching him won't reverse anything, and that he'll get out eventually. I wish a could at least punch him in the face.

Oh god, I am so sorry...

~Angeloflifelight Jul 22, 2012
