What is everyone's opinion on what has been going on in the world? With the Ukrainian crisis, the madness going on between North and South Korea, and also on the Malaysian airline that has gone missing? I've heard very little about the different topics because I tend to avoid the news (because in the area I live its news stories about death, murder, rape, robberies, school shootings, ect. everyday. Yes school shootings and guns in school at least twice a week), so I would like to know what other people know, as well as their opinions. Do you think a war will be the outcome of the events? 

It may all be involving horses and equine related things!

I'm going through a "equine withdrawl" right now, because my barn I've been riding at has changed their lesson policies and I'm no longer able to afford to ride, which makes me very upset because I love the horses there and my trainer. Ever since I started riding back in June of 2013, It's been like this; on and off constantly. Could only afford 1-2 lessons a month sometimes, we lost our insurance for a couple months due to my dad moving to a new job (and the stupid insurance company couldn't get his life together), and I wasn't allowed to ride. My trainer went on a long vacation for awhile, then for the longest time this winter it had been too cold or too rainy to ride! And I had finally gotten on a good schedule of riding this January, but towards the end of the month, I had an accident. I was riding a crippled 16.2 hh Appendix quarter horse named Dixon, and the owner wanted me to canter him, which when I got him into the canter, something, I don't know what, felt wrong and then when he turned the horse I was knocked out of the saddle, I remember looking at the side of his face, holding onto his neck, and then I was on the ground. I have no idea how I landed, but I could tell it was on my neck, and I thankfully only walked off very bruised up and with a mild concussion. Because of that I couldn't ride for about 2 weeks, but when I returned I found myself with a new anxiety of cantering (which I used to adore cantering), so its set me back quite a bit. But now, the owner of the barn has changed the policy and I have to find a new barn or find a way to come up with the money. How am I to ever get back on track to riding when I can't even ride! The longer I go without riding, the harder it will be to get back into it. So I'm sure you can understand my frustrations at this point! lol But its not the riding I truly want though, It's the interactions with the horses. Horses are my whole life, my every thought and dream involves horses, they are the love of my life. They always had been, since I was a little girl! My obsession died down as time went by and I couldn't get lessons, but finally, FINALLY, I got to ride and meet real horses! But sadly, once again in my life, money stands in my way. I just hope that I can get a job or something and be able to ride again!

But back to my original point, I will probably be drawing a lot of equine things, so expect that coming your way!

So for a while I've been having trouble with my Bamboo Pen and Touch tablet with everytime I un-plug it and plug it back in I have to go back and back up the whole system to get it to have it's pen pressure back. I figured it was just because it was a really old tablet for awhile until I got my new Intous Creative. It does the same exact thing EXCEPT I have to go and re-download the driver everytime and restart my computer. Anyone know how to stop this or at least a better way to fix this?

It has been yet another long long time since I've updated this Journal. Gahh I'm so terrible!
