[QUOTE=Maestro Fenix;47756213]Lack of sleep makes him have weird dreams/nightmares once he manages to.[/QUOTE] That, and if you have enough of a lack of sleep you start to actually fail to distinguish reality from dreams. Things appear different, etc. I really hope this gets better for him soon. Whats up with Russia?
Okay my head feels dizzy as hell but I think I can type. The explosions is back so we having a round 3 at the moment also the fucking windows are shaking I might be actually go into panic cause I might die at any moment right now. I will keep this short, the Rebels decided to be a bunch of twats by literally stopping a huge bus transport that was heading outside the country and announcement that no Yemeni citizen is allowed to outside the country, so am basically a Dead Greninja at this point. The explosions at the morning was basically the air strikes on the Ex President house, apparently afterwards they decided to also bomb the Ex President Son's house, which is ironic enough Am basically dizzy as hell and I think am going to faint after a few moment. Edit: They suddenly stopped bombing now.
Today's news: apparently there is a some sort of prize money for 1 million dollars for Ali Abdullah Saleh head, which is not ironic at all, although rumours has it that he has now a Mask that can actually make him look like a different person which is odd. Today a bunch of fellows came to my door, asking for my name and my card number, I asked them why, apparently they are trying to get names of the citizens of this very street that am currently in, so Citizens can get a free gas tank from the company itself free of charge, although I have to wait a week to collect it. Other then two paragraphs I said above, there is really nothing new but an explosion Haven.
glad to see you are okay, I've been worried since your last post
Every time I see there's a new post and read .Greninja at the end, I'm a little relieved.

The power is on, and it's still not the end of the day but am still going to report what I have, if I did find anything else new today am just going to add an Edit note. Apparently today I found out there are Houthis Rebels who bought a house beside us, I wouldn't give a mind out about it if they didn't have a car full of Firearms equipments. Gas stations lines have now increased, literally the whole street, when I said the whole street the last time I meant in figure of speech, now it actually literally at the moment, I was able to get a good deal of a gallon of patrol for 17,000 yer, which on other stations they would charge you for more than 20k. That's nice and all if my Generator didn't decide to pop it's gears out and break on me, I had to call a engineer to fix it for me, I swear to god everything just breaks at the worst time. War has succeed on giving me lower motivation to drawing, but maybe if I ate something that isn't a fucking Roasted Chicken I would not be feeling a bit sick. In all honestly I keep getting warm heart messages from all around Profile and other places, it just really kind that you all care of a unfortunate fellow that you never even met.

First thread I've ever sub'd to on FP since I've been here, I think. Listening to the stories of someone in Yemen whos username is named after a pokemon on a GMod forum is, well, weird. Nevertheless, gives a window into a situation I really hope I never get any firsthand experience in. Rooting for you, Greninja. Stay as safe as you can manage to. I hope they don't have a reason to target you specifically or anything like that. I'm praying this ends well for you, man, and I think it will, you've got the brains, the strength, and the will for it. Can't wait to see your first post from out of there. Stay strong.
I personally can't imagine being so restricted on everyday items like gasoline. I mean I could make a gallon a day work but at that point, the least of my concerns would be worrying about driving.

I am glad every time I see you post, and I really hope you can get out soon. Hopefully the rebels who brought the house won't do anything stupid.
Thank you all, you all are like little hopes muffins that can make a Person smile, also for not trying kill me. Apparently a bunch of Rebels stole a huge amount of Patrol that was suppose to be send to important factories such as electricity ,which we barely had for 2 months and a Half, for their war machines. Although the explosions were pretty far today so I actually didn't feel like I might die today, although I tried to grab some supplies from a supermarket nearby, as I suspected that the supplies in there were either old or none, so I tried to pick up what I can, although while I was packing up, I saw 3 almost young men with Aks by the register, as much experience as I had of getting shot twice and actually being around people with guns for 8 years I did feel uncomfortable with them cause I wasn't sure if they are guards or Rebels, so I just grab what I can and try to calmly walk to my house. Also apparently when I fell down the stairs long time ago I actually healed a bit but apparently my right Knee didn't heal as fast as it should, that's a bust. I actually keep forgetting the days, it just that the fact you don't really have friends anymore here, or a social life with neighbours, or even going outside for events, just stuck in a box, you barely notice how days go. I can't believe it's been almost 3 months now.
I can't remember if you said this in a previous post but how do you occupy your time during the day, since you try to avoid going outside whenever possible?

Just a reminder: you need to maintain as healthy of a diet as possible. Fruits and vegetables if they're available (canned stuff will work) are important. You need carbohydrates and proteins (grains and meats) at minimum, but you also need vitamins and minerals for long-term functionality. Remember to exercise, too. Do like 20 push-ups and 30 sit-ups when you wake up in the morning.

Sometimes, he manages to eat other dishes like beans and such.
Is there at least different ways to cook the chicken?

I lost a Pound, How did I lose a Pound. So today's news is more explosions, but this time not only did the windows shake, I actually felt an Explosion Quake, for 2 hours straight, I could swear I almost felt the air pushing me out. Apparently there is Rumours that Saudi Arabia is going to do a Surprise, which is as we all know is never a pleasant sound to hear but god knows what is the surprise. One of my family members was able to get a Gallon of patrol for 10k yer which is surprisingly really cheap and suspicious, only to find out that I discovered that the whole gallon is basically filled with Water. as a person who used a lot of machines that uses Patrol that gallon will literally ruin the Generator hence it be more ruined than the last time since I had to fix it yesterday. plus any small patrol in that liquid tank is basically not useful for obvious scientific reasons. Am going to explain how my everyday Routine works so every common question you want to ask such as Diet or how am I communicating with This Thread. As everyone knows that am a Muslim so basically as intend in the religions that I pray in specific Time, five times in a day so basically it's also close to a workout. Leaving aside that I wake up really late as always since there is literally no point of waking up early, you will not go to work,school or even meet Cinderella. The only reason that I will wake up early if somehow the power is ON or if God finally decided to make Pokemon exist. I eat either canned massacred red beans or Egg toasts, if I even find milk or toast in that matter. afterwards I just stare at my sketchbook for hours while listening on some music that I listened too many times that I actually know each instrument that is used in every song until I get motivation to draw something. then forward on I get to lunch which is getting another Roasted chicken which I have to feel ill for half hour straight until I actually remember that my will to live is to make an animation show that makes people cry and miserable, although sometimes I eat Bananas cause it's the only thing that isn't rotten. and then I go to bed for feeling sick but I can't sleep cause of the explosions, gun fires and the smell of the Rubbish all over the bloody street so I wait until 8pm which is When I decide to use the generator till 8pm to 10pm which is also how I communicating with the outside world but I have a very, Very limited time since I will go all over the place to charge devices for the Next day and Report any news I get in this very Forum which no one Knew it existed until someone decided to put Subway Sandwiches into people's genitals. To the Conclusion which is my Sleepy time which is my Least favourite cause you don't actually really sleep cause all you do is just lay on your bed listening to the explosions that is literally telling you that all your dreams and goals are fucked that no gives a shit in this place so going to die at some point. In Every, single, DAY. From that to the whole morning so I can *wake up* so that I either get calls or text that says *did you sleep well?* and my answer will always either be *No, nope, not at all, just a little bit, not a balls chance, what do you think?, it was an explosionary sleep, I counted all the explosions at night.* Including my Favourite quote which is *I tried to imagine a bunch of Greninjas being dipped on Hot Sauce so I can imagine their horrified faces only to realise that I had to take a moment for the fact I reached a limit which I had to think of such thing to ignore how bad it is outside. I probably miss some details but am not sure. I miss taking showers.
Stay safe man.
Do yourself a favor. Draw all you want and please post here. I do not mean to be a jerk, yet you realize any day now it could be the last. God gave you the desire to draw, that how he works. So draw. I'm also going through some struggles myself (its not war zone type trouble...) Where I'm facing my own mortality and all I can say is I feel for you....
Yeah you definitely want to get that art mojo flowing. If you can get into the groove it'll get your mind off the harshness of reality, which you sound like you really need right now. I've found it's easier to get into your groove when you're not worried about the quality or content, so don't feel obligated to draw us anything in particular. Just dump whatever's on your mind on paper. Do yourself a favor and block out the "my dreams are fucked" thoughts. They can only harm you. Stop yourself when you notice them floating around in your head. Keep at it. You're a far stronger man than I for making it as far as you have.
So what exactly are massacred red beans?
[QUOTE=Hamaflavian;47786578]So what exactly are massacred red beans?[/QUOTE] Massacred Red Beans are Beans that have been crashed by me cause it's the closest thing I can put my anger on to killing someone. If you guys actually serious about making this thread a Art/My dead end Life Thread, I could post few of it, although I draw really slowly since I barely get any references at all, and I try to go online and get a single picture and see if I can make something out of it. Here's a two old art I finished a month ago [thumb]http://i.imgur.com/WyPRllP.jpg[/thumb] [thumb]http://i.imgur.com/95UQUfv.jpg[/thumb] Sorry if the Images are Big, (Does anyone have an idea how to make it smaller?) as for the news, as always more shaking window explosions, although am getting the feeling we going to actually lose supplies as I mean the Supermarket shelves are not getting supplied as often and we might get doped by either rotten materials or really Cheap edible materials, let's see what will happen Tomorrow. Edit: Nevermind Maestro Fenix told me how to resize images. Also why does it say am from United Kingdom.
Alright, flagdog or whatever the flag icon system is called went wrong, no way he is on UK right now.
That's just flagdog. It's not very accurate. Hope you can get some better supplies soon
