Hey everyone again

I've been thinking and enjoy doing Fraktur here, however I don't know enough German phrases to do very many, which is a quick google search away, but doing signatures is what I'm beginning to like most. And considering I only have one name to do a signature with, I was hoping people could comment on this Journal with names they might like to see in a soon to come Deviation. I really ask no nick names or profile names or the such, actual names that you might go by in person. i.e. John Smith, Christina Thompson, etc.

So if you want your name or the name of a friend or someone else written in Fraktur, please comment.

And in other news, after my graduation, I've gotten quite some money to help me out, and I'm getting some new computer parts: graphics card, keyboard, speakers, and my dad is taking me out pretty soon so we can look at getting me a new laptop to help with college. With any luck, I'll find a nice one that works well and has a touch screen (those are the ones I've adored most) so it may become easier for me to do these upcoming signatures before college becomes a top priority. (I know I'm looking far ahead into the future, but still, I'm pretty sure I'm going to miss these days when my to do list for the day is to sort my laundry then mow the back yard.

And one more thing, it is entirely possible for me to change the colors of my signatures. I am of considerable talent with Java and my current skills allow me to take my current black versus white to rainbow signature (or whatever color(s) you want it to be) on requested background color/picture. I am also looking into using Java to smooth out the edges on the signatures so it looks much better.

Tell me what you think.

As some of you may have noticed, I have recently been active on DeviantArt again.
Again, as some of you may also have noticed, I had lost interest in DeviantArt for well over a full year.
I used to do philosophy, and tried to make little aphorisms that could easily catch on, and then briefly describe them and their meanings. Although there is a part of me deep down that has a fascination with writing, I found little reason to continue with philosophy with it being little more than simply agreeing with greater thinkers.
I recently stumbled upon a software that made it fairly easy to write in a very elegant and beautiful manner, and so you see the fruit of my studies and practice for nearing a two and a half years of an old German script used before World War II. With computer problems making any contact between my writings on paper and a left click to submit deviation nearly in the past, I see little reason to turn a blind eye to my old fans. Although my new medium for words is not the exact same as before in neither style, nor language I hope old fans and friends can respect these new arts, soon to come.

Ask and I can fill in some of the details of how my life has been since Jan 11, 2009.

I can't think of anything to type, and am tired of not submitting deviations, so I'm going to try to make some emoticons considering my older brother left photoshop on my Mac, and emoticons don't require the artistic skills I lack. I'm going to start on my first one today after I finish my History homework, so expect on within the next few days. I hope to make this something I can do on a regular basis, so my older brother can stop pestering me about not really using my account for about only viewing deviations and making comments.

A little something I thought about recently, and didn't think could be made into a deviation. Anyways, as we all know, gas prices have shot up higher than during Katrina, and we all hope they go down. But there is salvation for car buyers with a guaranteed $2.99 to the gallon for the next (three?) years. I thought about this a little, and it all seemed only a little fishy. Skyrocketing gas prices... and low(er) prices for car buyers. Both in similar markets; gas consumers and gas suppliers... starting to sound fishy to you? I think that judging from how the gas prices have so suddenly jumped, that Chevy, Jeep, and Dodge have *ahem* "joined forces" with all the major gas suppliers, in a mutualisitic deal. With gas prices so high, people need to be able to buy low priced gas. So the three above stated made it so when you buy one of many of their vehicles, you can get lower priced gas. The gas department gets more money from the people who don't buy cars, and still get some more money from the people who do, AND the car dealerships sell more cars. Now the other side of my title being Karma, is from on the other side of the argument (I try to see to all sides in many cases). Now suppose that car dealerships have no biddings in the acts of gas prices, but were able to swing a deal with them to increase their sales, why are gas prices so high then? Again, as you all know, we have been in a war with a couple countries in the Middle East for a while now. The USA also buys gas from many countries, because we use up more gas than we can produce here in America. And in the Middle East is the largest part of the USSR, the world's largest gas/petroleum suppliers. Is the reason that gas is so high now-a-days because we have angered the Middle East with the war, or is it because the war has drafted many of the workers who help "extract" the precious black gold? Suppose, like the US, the Middle East needs more soldiers to fight their side of the war, and they already got every person willing to fight in the war. How do they get more people to fight for their country? They get every able bodied person they can get their hands on. That includes the construction workers, some of the businessmen, and the petrol miners. With a new shortage of people to manufacture petrol for international sale, it becomes harder to obtain, and therefore more expensive, everywhere they sell to. And on the last side of the debate, what if the reason is actually neither? Sweden's gas prices are up to American $9 a gallon, but they are reducing their addiction to gas with Hydrogen, so shouldn't their gas prices at least stop going up by now? Could the same happen to us in America? Does the good old US of A be able to reverse this addiction to a more eco-friendly and more available energy source? Could we finally be able to fuel ourselves? Or could the powerful American people be doomed to much more solitary lives among their selves? Could a modern day town become more like a medieval city with 20 miles being a far way to travel, when it used to be $3 and some good music on the radio? ($3 referring to $3 to the gallon, and 20 miles referring to just under the national mpg average of about 22 to 24 mpg now)
And with that note, I conclude to give some time to think about this problem.

I plan on using these journal entries on [look at title] my Views/Explanations of the World. So don't come crying to me if you're dying to know what I ate for lunch today, or other random things that I refuse to update the general [teenage] public about.
My first piece of philosophical literature was based on this (copy, pasted, and revised).

Anyways, one of my explanations of the world i thought up of today during church was and explanation to why people across the globe are so similar to each other (or for the people who believe the world revolves around themselves; so similar to you):

Most people mostly are like most people, wherever you go.
The human nature is the human nature, and similarities exist between largely differing countries because people grow up differently in the same way no matter where you go.
In other words, people will grow up differently, and babies will grow up to be goths, jocks, emo's, girly girls, tomboys, and so on, all in their culture's equivalent of every one else's culture (or again for the megalomanical, self centered protion of the population; our own culture's) of the goth, jock, emo, girly girl, tomboy, and so on, if they aren't the same as (as opposed to an equivalent).
