Hello watchers, Mangetsu here:

Lately I've been trying my hardest to strengthen my voice whenever I could. Today I'm working on one of my favorite songs, Drift Away. I will be submitting it to my account as soon as I can get my stupid voice to work for me. If you want me to also write stories for you to read, send me a note with a suggestion whether fan fic or something fresh. The same goes with the music to submit. Let me know what you want done and I will do my best to do it. Thanks for the help to those who do help me out.

I just got terminated from my current job. So I'm going to be heading home tomorrow and quickly looking for a new job. Hopefully this new job will pay better and be less stressful. I got to much to pay for to deal with the bull shit this job has been putting me through. I hope I can get a job in the next few weeks...

Well, I got my few results to my photo challange. This helped me see that there are ones that are confident in their choice in what MY gender could be. It tells me that I can confuse people about my gender if I play it just right. I will admit that I am, in fact, male. However, that doesn't mean anything. As my profile indicates, I am a femboy, and I can pull it off quite well (more so if i could lose weight and grow my hair back out). For the few that participated, I want to thank you for your input. When I am not relying on my phone data I will gladly give you all a watch!

My new story is up! took me about 2 hours to draw up 4 pages worth though. Now the second phase will be done here in a few. Those who read it, which it's one of those you gotta download and I don't know why, you will know what words to use to search for it.

I am currently writing a story on my fursona, Mangetsu No Ketsueki. I will give a head's up, Mang is gonna go through a new phase in his life, come into something... shifty. In the end, it might result in something new, and not just for my fursona. So, if anyone is interested, it will be posted as soon as possible. I got a few hours before I am back on the road with my new job (speaking of which, if you're curious about the job I'm in, drop me a note, it'll also help better explain how I got that crashed truck pic in Indianapolis). Anyway, I hope I get the story done and submitted before my truck is fixed today (woken up at 3 am pacific time today for it to get taken in) so you all can enjoy it. Wish me luck!

Right now I've traveled from Pueblo, Colorado to Denver, Colorado to be on my way to Salt Lake City, Utah to start up a career at C.R. England as a truck driver. I'm nervous about all this but also excited. I'M NERVOUSITED! I hope things work out with this. I need SOMETHING to get my life going financially. I'll try and post my progress. :3

It's been a while since I last updated my watchers on my happenings. I am going to say this freely because I know my nosie parents can't see this. In the time I was inactive on FA, I had been at Job Corp trying to learn a trade. Sadly, the trade I was in was not the one I wanted. I recently found an opportunity for a job that called me up while I was at Job Corp and I took it. I am in Denver, CO. waiting for my flight further down state. This job sounds really promising and I do not want to miss this opportunity for a job I can enjoy more then what I would have gotten into. It would help to have support in this choice from those who know the feeling of frustration of trying to find work. Hell, even the ones that don't. I'm nervous about this whole thing but excited at the same time. Sorry for the bronie quote I'm gonna say but... I'm so nervousited! (for those who do not know what that means, watch My Little Pony: Equestria Girls. It's explained in the first 5 minutes.) This also gives me the opportunity to see my mate again and allow me to start a life not chosen by others.

Thank you for taking the time to read my journal post

Aside for what I'm doing for my party mix, I've decided I needed to make a mix for every holiday. And since Halloween is coming up next, I need help finding music that is creepy, halloween movie based, halloween holiday based, and/or halloween dance style music that I can put into the mix. I have found a few thus far but it's not enough to fill a CD that can hold either 80 minutes or 120 minutes (4.7GB) of music. So, if any of you can find holiday based songs, starting with Halloween, that I would probably like and put on a CD, I will be eternally grateful.

I'll even make it better for those who contribute to helping me. I will upload a 2-4 song mix here on FA and list off all the songs/artists along side who suggested them that made it into the album. Keep in mind, all rights to each song belong to the original artists, meaning I'm not claiming any of them.

I hope to hear from you all and hear many wonderful ideas for songs.

As I said in a previous journal, I am making a mix of music for things like parties and so forth. Here's the thing, I only know music that I have stumbled across or was told about. This is where I need your help. All I ask is that you drop me a comment on THIS journal saying what song and artist of the genre's Rap, Hip-Hop, Techno, Electro, Dubstep, and Dance. I will look them up and if I feel they are right for the mix, I will put them in. every bit of help is highly appreciated. Thank you all in advance.

I'm sorry I haven't been very active on here lately, but since I lost my job a few weeks back I've been busy with other things. Lately I've been gathering music to make a party mix so that, if I ever got the opportunity, that I could DJ a party or something else of the sort. At this point I'm willing to do anything for a little bit of cash because my family is heavily strapped for cash. If you think you can help me I would be grateful. I don't mean by sending me money or anything like that, but maybe help me find some work from as simple as being a DJ to something like a mechanic. I hate asking but I'm that desperate. Please help and thank you for your cooperation.

I went in for a job interview just a couple hours after getting a wake-up call for it and I got asked two questions. The first was about where I lived, which I live about an hour's drive from town, and the second was whether I had a criminal record or was on probation, which I have none and is not on probation.
Shortly after that, he said, "Well, let's have you come in tomorrow at 7 in the morning. Make sure to bring a lunch because we don't have a lunch time."
For those who aren't familiar with this, What he meant by that is, here in Idaho, we have what's called a "right to work" law. That means they can work us however much they want, no rules on work hours.
Here's the topper of the cake: the job is... A CAR WASH! A freaking car wash. It was a place I tried working at before and never got a call and now I suddenly have a call for work. All the same, my music composition is on hold for the fact I most likely will be coming home exhausted. So do not be surprised if I don't have anything for you for a VERY long time.

Wish me luck.

For a while I'll be composing music and not uploading them to FA because I want them to be season oriented. I may not have many for the special holidays but I'll have them all the same. Please help in supporting my efforts in getting these songs done when I have time to make them.

I might also be writing short stories that are season oriented as well. This is all going to take a lot of time which I may not have the next few weeks. So, again, please support me in my efforts to get both done.

If you have any ideas I could use for either art style, whether it's just an idea, a pic, a clip, or a story, please make it holiday/season oriented from now to new years. I'd greatly appreciate the help and will thank you in the details of the story/music.

Thank you so much

I am re-recording my latest submission, Remembered Memories, so that it doesn't sound so lame. So if you be patient with me I will get it done and updated. Thank you ^.^

~Mangestu

The reason I haven't been able to do jack shit lately is because my internet is loosing connection with FA for some reason >.< so PLEASE be patient with me while I try and figure this out. Thank you.

I thought I'd let you all know that I started making a new song, piano only. I will get it recorded and submitted asap.

~Mangetsu

>.< I hit a wall with my song. I've gotten to the point I need actual drums and bass guitar to finish of what I started but I only have my electric guitar. The worst part is I don't have the money to get both, if just one >.<
So, it looks to me that I can't finish my song "It's Time" until I can get the instruments. I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

-Mangetsu

I've been trying to get a chance to finish up the song I was making but I kept getting pulled away and worked to where I had no energy to do it. I'll try and get the song done as soon as possible.

I got two WIP projects for the same song and I can't decide which one to use >.< -pulls the hairs on my head- I need help deciding which one I should follow through with so I can add a surprise instrument to really make the song take off. All help is appreciated. Please and thank you ^.^

I know I said that I would be submitting more photos to my FA, buuuuuuuuuuuuuuut I was distracted by the fact that I got Faine over to visit. I'll post pictures soon, but I don't know when.

I'm in Tacoma Washington visiting family and man has this been one long weekend. My parents say were going home tomorrow (given that my mother doesn't try to change her mind.) I also have a few pictures of my trip here so I'll be submitting them as soon as I get home. ^.^

I still have a bunch of Good Guys Car Show pictures that need year, make and model descriptions, AND I NEED HELP! I suck at doing research on vehicle types so I need help finding out what they are. If you or anyone you know knows what they are, please let me know and you, the one you referred, or both will be mentioned in the description box in honor of helping me out. Please and thank you for your help in all of this.

-Mangetsu

That's all I have for today. Keep watching for more project pictures of my car and maybe of me using a cutting torch on a tear apart. Hope you enjoyed the picture dump. ^.^

-Mangetsu

Thought to give you a heads up that here in a bit i'll be posting pictures of my work on my car. Please keep in mind it took hours worth 2 work days to get this far. I'm almost done but I will be posting my success.

-Mangetsu

I have been so busy lately I haven't had time to do any submissions or changes to info. I will have time here soon to do more, but for now I have to focus on my projects in real life. I just got the parts to my car that I need and I will be spending all day tomorrow installing them. I hope it all works -crosses fingers-
When I get my ride fixed up I'll find a spot to take a good picture of her (yes, i said her) so you can see the progress from when I fix her to be road worthy to being race worthy. Don't worry, I will still be posting pictures from the Good Guys Car Show, there will just be a few pictures in between of my car. In fact, I'll take a pic of her as she is right now and what is needing done so you have an idea of the troubles I'm dealing with. For those who like cars and/or like doing automotive work, then please stay in touch for There will be picture dumps.
