Eclipsian- King of Blades

A monthly quote!

"The best things in life are nearest: Breath in your nostrils, light in your eyes, flowers at your feet, duties at your hand, the path of right just before you. Then do not grasp at the stars, but do life's plain, common work as it comes, certain that daily duties and daily bread are the sweetest things in life."
-Robert Louis Stevenson

Update + musical tastes?

Journal Entry: Thu Oct 22, 2009, 11:57 AM


I haven't done a major update since June...? Hoo boy.

Life's going so good you'd never believe it! We've received our first rain and it's made our life so much easier. Nothing says "hurrah" like fields of lush green grass. The cool weather's pretty sweet too. Autumn is here, Venture Bros season 4 has premiered, our farm is swell, work is steady, and to say the least I'm very happy!

The only bad thing is that our spring-born chickens are now grown, and we ended up with five roosters out of a flock of 18. FIVE! There's gonna be Hell up here on this farm!
(EDIT: I had to kill Velociraptor, our barred rock rooster, because he attacked two others. We now have four roosters.)

Sorry again for being seriously inactive. Haha.

Cheers and peace,
~Ribbs

Art wise I'm still not working on much publicly-shared stuff. I've got that one trade and perhaps another, but not much else. I've finished plenty of Fancy Clothes art (references, maps, etc), but am still debating whether or not I'll share it. I guess time will tell...

But until then let me thank those few who took the time (or may TAKE the time) to post on my Mother 3 art dump. It may be fanart but it means a lot to me, so I appreciate those who left feedback. I just wanted to say: hugs all around!
-hugs-
(but speaking of Mother 3, why must the stamp be so obnoxiously BRIGHT RED? Ah!)

Question: musical tastes!
Please tell me your favorite type of music. What genres do you listen to most often? Do you like any particular styles or artists?
I've asked this many times before, but I'm always curious because tastes tend to fluctuate.

I've always been a fan of rap and drum&bass. New age and meditative are also favorites, as well as traditional world music, blues, and oldies. I like most obscure music, really. How about you?

Oh hi NeoRibbontail ID placeholder. You are boring and lame. If you have any ideas for a proper ID picture, please tell me!


So um I don't know. I'm a Taoist on one end and a housefly therian on the other. Religion and other such nonsense is what I spend most of my time working with, so if there's one word to describe myself it'd be 'spiritual'.

...Interests? Sure.
Television: Venture Bros, sometimes Chowder
Gaming: Legend of Zelda, Kirby, Mario, Gears of War, Mother
Literature: religious texts, mystery, sci-fi, sometimes fantasy
Music: meditative, new age, rap, hip-hop, blues, drum-and-bass
Main hobbies: gardening, theological/cultural studies, bellydancing
Other hobbies: writing, brainworld exploring, raising poultry, drawing
Personal series: Emalia (which I share), North (which I don't), Fancy Clothes (which I may share)

Do you know what this happens to be Doc? :O I found it awhile ago, and I have no idea where or what it came and is.

>_> It looks like chinese, but...that is all I could figure.

Hi Aster! :wave:
That is called a Luopan. It's a compass used in the Chinese art of Feng Shui. A Luopan is used to read the qi (energy flow) of a room, and it's a very useful tool if you know how to use it. The disc symbolizes heaven, and the stand it rests on symbolizes earth.

I've always wanted a Luopan of my own, but I've honestly never even seen one in real life! Where do you suppose you got yours?
:iconasteriskeye:
~AsteriskEye Nov 12, 2009, 12:53:46 PM
Really! Well that's cool. I never knew it was that, a Luopan. Hmmm. How can it be used? Is there a way you could tell me? :O I've never used it myself, I merely like to spin the disk around every so often ha ah~ (helps to be buddies with a Taoist huh? xD you never know what may come up to talk about)

Well I'll have to add that to my list of 'what to give Doc when I move out from home' xD (like that statue of NeoRibbontail; I still have her on my dresser, awaiting to be sent out)

I don't ever use it honestly, as I did not (use) know what it was, nor how to use it!

(you've always wanted one? Are they like, really hard to come by?)

Uhm, well like I said I don't know. I just randomly found it when I went digging through my closet, and it was really quite difficult to open, but once I did, that's what I saw...so...uhm, that's all I know D: Never seen it before, nor know where or what it came from!

(I will not disclose my closet, it's a mess...one could compare it to a bog, or a mnt. like fuji or everest xDDD)

I honestly have no idea how to use a Luopan. Haha! There are some things in Taoism that I've yet to learn, such as the numerical language, physics, and theories behind the hexagrams, and many of these apply to the Luopan. The physics is the knowledge you need. If I recall correctly...
-laughs-

But goodness yes, I would LOVE it if you were to send that thing (with that Neo statue of course!) to me. I don't plan on using it, but to actually own a Luopan would be an honor. A double-deal, too: it belonged to a friend! Would you really be willing to send it to me someday? :love:

Really? Hmm. Well, I could assist you in finding some things out for you. I have quite the bit of resources on hand. :3

Oh yeah, I'd be more than happy to send it off to you. Give a little while though, I'll be graduating from 12th grade in like, 7 months (can you wait that long? Dx I have everything pretty much ready, it just needs to be sent off now.)

:3 Heh. I'll have to get your other infos as well, but that you can 'locate' to me, in some other way, you know?

IT'S BEEN FOREVER.

Remember me? At all?

I see you've progressed well, my lost friend.

If by "progressed" you mean "happy, healthy, out of school and living a good life", then yes: I certainly have progressed well!

But Hell, I could never forget you of all people! You were one of the first folks I ever met here. It HAS been forever. Hi hi hi, and hi again! :hug: What have you been up to this past year? Life's been treating you nicely, I hope?
:iconkitt-sama:

Life's been really good.

BUT WHY THE HELL AM I NOT STILL WATCHING YOU. TSK TSK.

Ah that's okay, no worries.
-pats back-
It's just good to hear that life's treating you nicely, too. Whenever I lose contact with somebody it seems as though something awful or depressing has happened, so it's nice that life's been swell. Thank goodness for that, huh? Haha! =D

So nothing too new for you?
