G'day everybody! I bid you a warm welcome, and say thanks for stopping by my page!

The name's David Nicholas, and aside from being a random hobbyist artist and occasional critic, I'm ALSO, as of September 2016, an official Bachelors graduate of both Accounting and Economics at La Trobe University. Other than that, strike up a conversation with me and perhaps you might learn more.

I like to express my thoughts and opinions on just about anything; artworks, stamps or literature to name a few areas, so if you see your work under my recent folder "To Comment On Later", just know that your work stood out to me out of the thousands upon thousands of works I find in my deviations folder. I'll try my best to be as fair and honest as possible about your work, through consistent, constant improvement.

Thanks once again for stopping by my page and I wish you a wonderful day everybody. Peace!

Hi there, Nicholas! How's your new year coming together, and how was your 2017?

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

AussieDidge In reply to TheSkull31 [2018-01-03 00:01:05 +0000 UTC]

Well, I guess so far my new year's started smoothly, which is more than I can say for 2017.

Of course, 2017 had quite a few positives to go with the negatives... I'm hoping to upload my Yearly Yap to DeviantART soon, with all the details.

Nice. My 2017 was nice, but it was full of mistakes, almost all of which were committed on my personal end; needless to say, it's been a hell of a year for me in both good and bad ways because I learned from roughly most of these mistakes. My 2017 ended very shitty, though, as my co-landlord's new husband was given six years for a crime that should have gotten him several months, and that's not counting how he was imprisoned all through 2017 in a jail cell and then at Junior's home prior to his verdict and sentencing (Junior is my barber, he's been cutting hair professionally for sixty years). However, my 2018 has started very well as my co-landlord Kimberly and I have agreed that I should spend significantly more time with my other co-landlord John since I come across as being detrimental to her most of the time despite having opposite intentions. I've also lost a ton of weight, but I've also gained about five pounds of it back since the beginning of December, 2017 (back then I weighed 139, now I weigh 144), mostly due to the holiday season's customary indulgence and family get-together sessions; that's much better than my 181-pound frame from March, 2017.

I guess I could say the same on my end, like putting too much trust in a particular agency to help me get a job. Useless & moronic, the lot of 'em. Having no motivation to find a job, due to lack of help, and I nearly forgot to mention my dad's seizure last month. Probably the scariest experience I've ever had in a while.

That really sucks to hear about that guy; I can only guess that he had to be made an example of or something, but it's awfully harsh nonetheless. I'm wondering if it has something to do with various "Three Strikes" prison policies that the United States tends to have.

That sour note aside, good fuckin' job on losing nearly 40 pounds dude! And in less than twelve months, to boot! Needless to say, I'm quite happy for ya, as it can only lead to better things in future. Keep up the wonderful work!

Thanks for the compliment, Nicholas. Although I've gained about six and-a-half pounds since December 2nd (five weeks ago) due to my annual holiday purge -- through some fault of my own, nonetheless -- I'm still perfectly healthy at a slim 145.5-ish. I figure that by weighing in sans clothes first thing when I wake up from sleep to start my day I'll get the most accurate weight (at which point I would have had to refrain from caloric intake all through my nightly slumber to let my body digest and vaporize some of my water weight and fat from the day before).

Hey, how ya doin? Certainly been a while, but lately I've been volunteering at a local Salvos Store; sorting clothes, taking out trash, pricing and whatever else. It's a good way to kill a few hours, and get some exercise too.

I recently moved in with my friends John and Kimberly, way back in June of 2016, to live more independently. Now with a bunch of legal troubles involving my friend Kimberly's new fiancΓ© that are being caused by several of our neighbors and my friend Kimberly's fiancΓ©'s ex-wife, we are seriously considering moving to Missouri, where it is suggested that land expenses and taxes are much mess expensive. What do you think of that?

AussieDidge In reply to TheSkull31 [2016-12-14 11:56:35 +0000 UTC]

Boy, sounds like quite the aneurysm to have. Those are the kinds of decisions where even the best of us struggle to come to a rational decision, considering all the pros and cons they have to potentially weigh up.

What I think of it is irrelevant. It's a decision that ultimately you have to come to; a decision that, if you go through with it, you'll have to come to terms with both the benefits and the consequences. And, it's something that means taking a leap of faith from what you ordinarily might've taken for granted.

Living more independently will be a hell of a challenge, but if you make it work, day in and day out, there's no telling how much better off you'll be, not only professionally, but personally.

In the end though, you have to make that decision. In this world, no-one can hold your hand forever. They can certainly help, they can certainly advise and caution, but ultimately, you must be happy with what you've done or are about to do.

Can only wish you the best of luck, personally.

Actually, if they're planning to go to Missouri next year, then I am obliged to go with them to start a new life (and a studio, since land is much cheaper over there). I completely believe that moving to Missouri will only benefit me despite my only getting to see my family once a year, and I think it would be the best thing for me, so the decision has already been made.

AussieDidge In reply to TheSkull31 [2016-12-15 12:07:46 +0000 UTC]

Well, that's it then. There's really no further need to discuss it any more. I can only wish you all the best when you do eventually make the move.

And, that depends on how you define "seeing your family." If you mean face-to-face, then yeah, absolutely.

But with potentially Skype, FaceTime, and so many other apps and programs allowing for that kind of communication, it doesn't have to be just once a year, technically speaking. Yeah, I consider the details even if it sounds like it's gone overboard, so sue me.

At any rate, take care and let me know how it goes!

One day late is fine, one week is bordering, but after five weeks I've well and truly got over it. Geeze, if I celebrated every day like it was my birthday, I'm pretty sure I'd just become some obnoxious sack of human manure.

Regardless, thank you very much. It's much appreciated.

Pfft... people actually think I need a Bible to teach me how to be bad. Bitch, it may be the Satanic bible, but I was his GHOST-WRITER!

Don't go hawking my own books to me, damn you!

Anyway, that's nice to know. Things are getting kind of busy on my end too, with an assignment due this week and a bunch of assignments due, one after another, over the next four weeks. In fact, something like 6,500 words within a week of each other, and a public speaking presentation. (Kill me now...)

But you know better than anyone else... One day at a time.
