FURSUIT UPDATE

My fursuit has finally been completed and shipped! Yes, FINALLY. This commission has taken three and a half years from the official opening date (but was paid off in full two months early) , and is two years and 10 months late from the original completion timeframe I agreed to when I first commissi…

Life Updates!

So, I've officially left Sears Auto Center and took a sales associate job at a local family-owned auto service chain. Full time, benefits, and all that jazz.. Sears started giving me skin problems from the constant, 10-hour-per-day exposure to irritants, so it was never able to really heal. The mor…

So, what has Cani been up to?

Work. Lots and lots of work. 47 hours a week. My days off are typically consumed by errands and little projects I need to get done, like cleaning, laundry, tending to my car, and sometimes seeing friends. But mostly, I end up just laying down, thinking of all the things I need to do, but knowing I…

Ugh. So, the unthinkable happened.

Got into my first car accident, and it had to be with my first brand new car. And of course, it's the first time I have the insurance tell me it's a total loss. It was dead rush hour on I66E going through Fairfax, VA. I was on my way to Silver Spring, MD for alignment training for my work. My car's…

Gah. Adult life, y u no stahp.

So, my job has basically eaten my life, and I'm working whenever furmeets are going on, which was one of the major reasons I moved to the east coast. I put vacation time in for Anthrocon months in advance, and now since our staff is cut in half by three of our techs quitting, there's no one to cove…

Returning to the Northwest

So I've recently decided at some point, I'll be making a return to the Northwest. I came out east to reconnect with my Midwestern roots so I could find myself again after I left my ex wife, and I've accomplished that. I relived some childhood memories, remembered what I loved about the east, and al…

So, my ex wife remarried in 1 year and 2 months.

It took her only 9 days to hook up with her roommate, 9 months to become engaged, and 5 months to make it legal. Inb4 she gets pregnant and falls into her mother's footsteps. (Her mom and dad got married 3 months after they met, had two kids, then divorced.) It's actually kind of insulting how quic…

... Okay, I take that back.

I didn't realize how shady IMVU was, so this won't be improving FA at all. In fact, this just might lead to FA's demise. With the latest hubub about art theft, IMVU is probably regretting buying FA now. Also, yes, I'm fully aware the art theft has been going on for years, but now IMVU owns FA, so I…

So, what's been happening in the World of Cani?

The answer? Not a whole lot. Been busy with work as usual, tinkering with my car and fabricated a prototype rear diffuser. BUT, I did get time off approved for Anthrocon, so after 2 years of missing conventions, I'm finally going! It's only a 5 hour drive this time around, so I won't have to drive…

Really need to take new photos of my car.

Since the last photo posted, I've installed a set of Tein lowering springs, direct from Japan, and it looks WAY better lowered. Besides looks, the main reason for installing them, handling, is vastly improved. Body roll is greatly reduced, and it feels firm, but not jarring. Soon I'll be installing…

Cani Lupine’s avatar

Wow. XD

So, yesterday I found out that my ex wife is now engaged to the guy she hooked up with just nine days after we moved apart. I can understand rebounds, but MARRYING your rebound? lol. What a stupid bitch. This really highlights one of the reasons I left her. She's not the brightest bulb in the box,…

Could be the Doctor talking, but...

Have you ever had that moment where you stumble upon an impossible set of coincidences, it's like a million puzzle pieces all fall perfectly into place, like everything in the past was leading up to one specific moment? Like every single piece of your life is linked to everything else in some form…

Like a motherfucking Phoenix, I rise from the ashes.

You know something? I'm fucking awesome. There's been so much shit that's happened to me this year, and yet I'm still standing with my head held high. Went through a heartbreaking divorce that I didn't actually want, but felt I needed time alone to think. Not even a week after we move apart, she ju…

Full-time employment get!

Corporate recently decided to restructure the staffing, and instead of having several part-time employees, they're reducing the staff and making them full-time. They had to lay off 6 people from our store, including one I was hoping would stay, but I've made the cut and I'm now a full time Express…

Suddenly. INBOX FULL!

I knew about the FA attacks, but only recently found out SoFurry was affected as well. Didn't know it was specifically targeted against furry sites. o.o But hey, I'm banned from FA anyway. Doesn't affect me. :P

Getting settled in Virginia!

As the title says, I'm getting settled into my new home and job. I'm living with my best friend ShadowEon and her mom, and I'm a bit overwhelmed by how kind and hospitable they are, and how they've really opened up their home to me. Like, I'm not used to other people going out and buying me food. ;…

Cani Lupine’s avatar

So yeah, reverted back to an older plan. XD

Ohio isn't working out so well, so I decided to go ahead and execute an old plan I had to move in with one of my best friends in Virginia. The rent is a bit higher than what I was paying in Ohio, but it's a nicer area, lots of hills and forests, and I've already got a job lined up at a Sears Auto C…

Just keep swimming, just keep swimming...

So, some life updates. My beloved Aspire recently started having some issues with valvetrain noise. It would occationally make a loud tick every once in a while, but it went away when I turned it off and re-started the engine. Figured the hydraulic lash adjusters were shot, so I changed them out. T…

Cani Lupine’s avatar

Well, that didn't go as planned.

I made it to Ohio and got the job at Sears, but not even a week after I get here, my (ex) wife tells me she's dating her roommate and already over our marriage. :/ Probably just a rebound that isn't going to last long, but still, it's a massive kick in the chest, not only how quickly I was replaced…

Ohioooo!

As of yesterday afternoon, I am now in Ohio, renting a room from a couple furs. I've already got a job interview lined up for tomorrow, so things are going rather well so far! My car didn't give me too much trouble during the trip, except now that my shocks are totally blown. Holy hell, the bumps.…

Wow. My landlord is shady as f***.

I got a certified letter in the mail yesterday, which had me curious. It wasn't addressed to me, but "current occupant." I have been getting collections calls for some dude that had my number before, and I thought maybe this was the same thing. So, I open it up, and find it's a Writ of Garnishment,…

So, anyfur willing to help out?

Here's the situation: My wife and I are divorcing. I've got a place secured in Ohio that I'll be going to, but my wife is unemployed, and currently does not have a place secured. We've been saving up money for the both of us, and ended up delaying the move a month to give me more time to save up mo…

How Old Meme

Stolen meme thingy. How old were you when you... Lost your virginity? 11 years old. No, that's not a typo. No, I was not molested. It was consensual. Lost someone close to you? If parents getting divorced counts, 10. Consumed alcohol? Other than tastes, the first time I had any real amount was at 2…

I actually tried... DRAWING?! o.o

So for some reason unknown, the motivation hit me to try drawing an anthro pic instead of feral, since my feral anatomy came out absolutely horrid. I'm much more familiar with the human body and human muscle structure, so I can actually use that to make a somewhat proportional anthro body. BUT AUGH…

Moving to Northwest Ohio in a couple months!

There comes a time when you realize that no matter how much you want to (or don't want to) feel something, some emotions just aren't things that can be willed to control. About 6 months ago, my wife and I had a discussion about separating, and we came to the conclusion it would be best for both of…

Fursona Questionnaire!

What made you choose the species of your main fursona? I was first introduced to the fandom by my first girlfriend. I didn't have a "fursona" at the time, but I enjoyed the artwork. After a while, the idea of having a wolf fursona grew on me, because a lot of what the wolf symbolizes fits me well.…

God damn, this has been a really strange year. The political arena is going nuts, talk of revolution around the corner, Edward Snowden exposing conspiracy theorists' worst nightmares as the truth, massive political awakening, almost divorced my wife, drove across the country to attend Anthrocon, be…

Huge life changes.

So after AC, I was caught in a funk and feeling rather depressed over the loss of a friend (I cut the ties to save myself the aggravation of watching her make really stupid mistakes and attacking me when trying to help her). I was starting to fall for her too, feeling all fluttery when we were hang…

Con report!

Anthrocon was amazing. <3 I got to meet some of my East Coast friends I've only talked to online, I drove across the country without getting pulled over once or having any mechanical failures as my car rolled past 200,000 miles. The trip itself was grueling, spending 3 and a half days on the road e…

ANTHROCOOOOON!

The trip to Anthrocon begins a week from tomorrow. I'm so excited. I've been wanting to do a cross-country road-trip for a long time now. I was a passenger on the ride from Illinois to California when I was a kid, first with my family in our van from the Chicago area to Iowa, where the van's transm…

AC is officially on!

It's official, I'm GOING to Anthrocon! Registered for the con and booked the room! ^^ They only had suites left at the Doubletree for more than 2 people, so there's going to be a ton of space. o.o Usually I get a single room. Also, the Doubletree is the only one that'll take pets up to 50 lbs, whic…

Open beta? Time to get things rolling here. :)

Now that the impending mass exodus away from that shithole known as FurAffinity is bound to happen (following yet more admin abuse by Dragoneer, see here: https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/4343379/), it's time to finally get this page fully up and running. I'll be uploading the last of the old co…

Alrighty, taking a risk on a new product!

I've been looking at these Pulstar Pulse Plugs (Website: http://www.pulstar.com/ ) for quite a while now, which like many other things, advertise more power and better fuel economy, but most stuff like that isn't anything more than snake oil. I've scoped out the videos, the dyno results, and user r…

I've been rather inactive on here lately.

I haven't been all that active on this site as of late, but I do plan for that to change once the site is out of beta. Once there's more traffic and stability, I'll be updating a LOT more here. I still have a lot of stuff in other galleries I'd like to carry over! I still need to get a CF card read…

Taking a look at my New Year's resolutions last year, I think I've done a pretty good job living up to my goals. :) One year ago, I set out to: Be a better husband, and never again fall prey to a temptress. Repair the damage caused by my "breakup" with my former best friend. Return to the old me. W…

I'm just biding my time for now... ^^;

I've been really hesitant about uploading things right now. I could flood the place with all of my work and bring it up to date, but then I'd just be letting it sit there again! So, what I plan on doing is go ahead and wait for a while, then once Weasyl is either in an open beta or fully released,…

Woot!

Finally got on here! Now to play around with some settings, explore, test, and report bugs!
