			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Howdy folks.<br />
I said I would introduce you to a good friend of mine who I think is quite the artist and today he is going to say hello. In Rude&#8217;s own words:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.ajmars.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/dhc.gif"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-299" title="dhc" src="http://www.ajmars.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/dhc-300x203.gif" alt="" width="300" height="203" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;Hey guys, Introductory blog post here, For those of you who know me already, I&#8217;ll be posting things I find interesting here, and will be trying to write up a weekly article/blog/tutorial/whatever here, so I&#8217;ll have a lot more insight for people wondering just what I am on about half the time, and also I&#8217;ll try to reveal a few of the tricks I know that have people enthused about my stuff,well, enough to get where I am coming from with it anyhow.I&#8217;ll also probably be using this to store uplore on any of my old,abandoned or ongoing ideas here as well.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Now, for those of you who don&#8217;t know me all of that well,I am a freelance artist. While I draw a wide range of things for my own and other&#8217;s amusement, I tend to draw a lot of fetish and anthro art, as it draws in a lot of viewers&#8230;.and lines my pocketsI go by a small handful of names online, but mostly Rude, or DarkHeartsClub.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I am short, pale and red haired, most easily identified by my long ponytail and general affinity for drab clothes with not so drab accessories. I am a pansexual, meaning I do not feel attraction based on gender,but more on personality.I am a genderfluid genderqueerand generally do not feel I can consider myself either male or female,even though at times I tend to gravitate more towards oneor the other. I go through periods of dysphoria, but compared to most I consider them quite mild.<br />
I grew up in NJ and just recently moved back to it. Regardless of what others may have to say, it is a nice place to liveand I feel that the cultural depth of being both a coastal state and part of the trisate have affected it, and myself severely. (ed. In a good way, I think. :p)</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Honestly guys I am pretty boned at the moment for things to put in here at the moment, but HEY that is what this blog is going to be for right?So no use in saying everything right off the bat.<br />
anyway that&#8217;s all for this post, catch you next week!!&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">So I said hello last week, he said hello this week. We&#8217;re shy, we start slow, it takes us a little bit to get comfortable and dance, but soon enough we&#8217;ll be out on the floor shaking our groove thang! Catch you later, er tomorrow for me, eep!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>I recently announced I would be doing Tuesday updates. Well, it&#8217;s 11:22 PM my local time, so it&#8217;s still Tuesday for a little longer, woot! I had a good discussion with a buddy of mine about art and life in general; it was a good thing. We can look forward to hearing from him soon and get to see some  of his awesome artwork. If all goes well it will become a feature here or on one of our brother sites. Sure, why not brother site instead of sister site? Watch out, there might be some interesting discussions about gender ahead :p</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t want to have the first Tuesday post simply a post about posts to come, so I figure I will post some alliteration fun I had a while back. Wow, that was a lot of posts in one sentence, but I assure you, there is only one post in this post. Perhaps there will be a second post tomorrow. <img src='http://www.ajmars.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  I&#8217;ve no idea what the following means if anything at all, I just found it among the flotsam of my files. Thanks for watching and stay tuned for design changes, new features and other shtuff. (yes, shtuff)</p>
<p>alone afraid abandoned<br />
ashamed adrift ascension<br />
admittedly aching agonizing<br />
alienated, asking absolute answers</p>
<p>and all ail<br />
and all ail</p>
<p>berating bullying believers<br />
blood-shedding bellicose bankers<br />
bereft brazen beastly beaters<br />
bearing bills behind bars<br />
behind bars<br />
behind bars</p>
<p>cold calculating cataclysm<br />
carefully crafted condescension<br />
can’t cut corners condemnation<br />
crazy criminal civilization<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Howdy everyone,</p>
<p>I just realized I am at the top of the blogroll on <a href="http://wordmonger.me/">http://wordmonger.me</a> (congrats on a great start!) and this place is in need of lots of love and care. If you poke around you might see that this is a little bird that  flies a bit but doesn&#8217;t stay off the ground for long. So, instead of making a vague timetable like &#8220;stuff up soon, I will say come back Tuesday for something new, every week from now on. There might be more updates than that, but I&#8217;m committing to Tuesday updates from now on.</p>
<p>Thanks for stopping by, poke around at what&#8217;s here, enjoy yourself and feel free to comment. Thanks for stopping by <img src='http://www.ajmars.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':-P' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>I would also like to especially thank the Second Life community for getting me back into writing and giving me so much inspiration. You guys rock!</p>

<p>Well, that starts stopping today.</p>
<p>The new release schedule for posts will run as follows:</p>
<p>Tuesdays ( I was born on a Tuesday, so I like starting my week on one.)</p>
<p>30 Days of (something)</p>
<p>Thursdays:</p>
<p>Notebooks.  I post something from old notebooks. I have stack of the damn things.  As I transcribe them I will post snippets from the notebooks every Thursday.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s all I am committing to for now, but that doesn&#8217;t mean I wont do other post on whatever I like.  This aint no mono themed blog.  These are the thoughts of the crazy, yet lovable, AJ Mars.</p>
