PS: German keyboards are so confusing LOL

yesterday I had BIRTHDAY!

I completely forgot about my bday.. who really forgets about their bdays lolz... so I moved my bday-party on 18th.
Thankyou for everyone who remembered, for bday wishes and gifts


What do you usually wish to get for bday?  





Oh btw, Arnaq's mother really is looking for a new house. Nova is a pure Greenland dog with amazing temperament, calm, very friendly and prefers to be with people for hiking than working in sleddog teams.  Photo of her:

Commissions- collabissions with *WildSpiritWolf Get custom art done by us for nice price! [link]

I think whole world knows what has happened..

I woke up very early, preparing to leave for meetings and had a TV turned on.
News were as usually same and nothing special. After couple mins I came back to TV and I see the screen is black-white..
President and most important people of Poland have died in tragical accident. It's said to be the biggest tragedy in new Poland history.

Even two days ago we met with Piotr Nurowski - director of Polish Olympic Comitee.. and he was one who perished in this tragedy.
May they rest in peace.


Tomorrow I'm going with my friends to President's Palace to sign up in condolence book (if anyone is from Warsaw /or planning to go as well, feel free to join with us!)
I might make a photoreportage of this.

Thank you for your support comments and condolences. I will sign in condolence book in the name of everone on deviantART who supported this.




By the way...

I thought if anyone would be interested if I'd run on my webcam my Greenland dogs on livestream?  Or something..?

So in order, we would love to take couple of very unique type of collabissions... Real Life Collabissions! (RLC)

The sketches as well as the colouring will be done by PearlEden and AlectorFencer in corporation and teamwork. Much media and paper types are available and we will choose what suits your personal image best.

Frames!
Plus you will have the chance to get it framed, too!
The frames will be 100% handmade and fit around your picture and enclose it for the best presentation on your wall.
For this extra option, it's best to talk to us for postage and packaging.
Postage fees are exclusive the commission price. We will inform you about it once we received your message.



Important!
Getting a slot doesn't mean you are fully confirmed!
This offer requires serious interests and therefore the slots must be confirmed with the payment as soon as possible! The pictures will be drawn at the time between the 19th to the 20 of May.

*farts*

I like long walks on the beach and singing in the rain in the arms of the one I love

Almost as much as I like Avril Lavigne! I love me them sk8r bois!


Tell me something that rhymes with Month!  OR PERISH.

_{WARNING. This journal has really many photos. Sadly dA journal is not good for photo-journalism :/}

That little two-days trip was.. such an amazing experience. I felt like I spent here 3-4 days. I had to make a devmeet in Oslo, however I thought it won't work because I was staying like 100km away... sooo it didn't work.

Okays. So I found cheap Norwegian.com tickets for myself and I had NO idea how importing the dog looks like. I NEVER imported any live animals via plane. I've called several times to Norwegian.com and they expained me how it works _{(wow sounded SO complicated! D8)} and that I have to bring my cage. Ugh.

My Dad dropped me to an airport by his nice pickup, I had a flight at 17:55.


_{lolz warsaw airport xD}

He helped to get out my cage and such stuff on the airport, blablablah.
When he left, I was all UGH, since it's like FIRST time I have to handle with all stuffs on the airport, and trying to find my gateee.

The travel on the plane was AWESOME and so.. short. I was so lucky to get place above window. The sky was starry, I saw beautiful constellations, and large moon. Under the sky was a large cloudy spot with orangeish color.  When we were arriving, the plane has hit on the organgeish cloudy milk and I saw.. Norway. Wow. I just was all.. wow.

WOW.

The airport was damn pretty. I mean, was surrounded with heavy snow and beautiful evergreen trees and rocks!



Okays. Here I was SO stressed. I was worrying if I will able to get out from aiport or find Karen.. but apparently Oslo-nian airport was easy! Smaller than Warsaw one!

Funniest thing was when I was getting out with my cage.. someone was screaming to me. Like HALT! HEY HEY STOP!
I didn't react because I was busy with my thoughts and ran forward faster. But some cops creepily and freakily caught me. I was all O___o
I've scared a bit, cos I was wondering if I will understand them... lolz. They have stopped me because I was having a cage and they thought there is a living animal inside! I told them its EMPTY and they were all "UGH O__o oh okay, sorry!"

Karen came with my Arnaq to welcome me! When first time I saw Arnaq.. I was all "Wow. That's... how she looks like really."
Then we went to the car and I've met Katinka. We went to her home. In Espa, like 100km away.

All the way I was all "Wow. Wow." adoring how beautiful is Norway!

At the home. Wow. Katinka's kennel had like 40 Greenland dogs. All kennels were surrounding her house. The house is traditionaly Nordic looking. I loved it. This evening I had nice chats with Karen and Katinka. My english speaking skills went much and much better.


_{My bedroom}



The next day was.. amazing. I won't write too much details, we'll go onto things. Photos!
On the breakfast I LOVED norwegian cheese. I have NO idea how it was called, but was sort of dark and soft cheese. It had weird taste, like a carmel with salt. Mmmm.

_Kennels.




Then we went to play with new little puppies. They were like 2-3 month puppies.



<sub>They were so damn cute-y running around their Mom! <3


They were eating real salmon.




My Arnaq with a puppy above her.</sub>


And after, Katinka and Karen invited me for sled dog trip twice time. I didn't expect... but damn, thats so awesome from them.

Arnaq was the first timet running with serious sled team. Karen has waited for my come, and we together seen how Arnaq handled! In some words, she did an EXCELLENT job. She wasn't scared at all and was pulling as well as all other dogs.

<sub>I LOVED her expression how she is WTF-y with begin fisrt time hooked to sleds.


Arnaq had very sexy partner, Ulvar <333. Look at his pretty bear-ish looking!


Katinka with her Ulvar (:</sub>


More details from mushing:



Later I was playing with dogs mostly and doing lots of photos. Sadly after mushing I had so horribly frozen fingers and after some days my skin has died and I lost touch feeling >___>

<sub>Åldefar. One of my favourite dogs from Tinka's Kennel


Harry. Cute liver-nosed one!


One on the middle is pregnant :3


Rakker. A female wolf-esque Greenland dog who has amazing movement.




Snowy. I adore his fluff <3. He'll be Daddy with Rakker soon!




Mivuu. Little massive puppy!</sub>





And some trees in Norway were so kickassly awesome. I must share tree photos with everyone!








I have tons other pictures, but I wont spam with more because journal might freeze xD.

After awesome day, we left to aiport back. I had at 21 flight back to Warsaw.

And suprisingly I've met ~Biomecka on the airport. Even the devmeet didnt happen, she still wanted to meet and decided to come on the airport. That was really awesome of her. And she made it on the time and had chance to met my Arnaq and how she is getting packed to cage and transported to the plane XD.

Apparently taking dog to the plane was SUPER easy and the BEST thing was... those people from airport totally FORGOT to charge money for dog ticked and cage! So... she flew for FREE!

After bye-bye with Karen, I still had some time so I hanged out with ~Biomecka and we went to cafe. I had really awesome chat with her and such <3. I told her, I would totally LOVE to visit Norway again and do official devmeet.
Then she helped me to find out how I should go to my gate and said farewell to each, and I flew back to home. On the all way I was all worried how Arnaq will survive the flight because she was packed somewhere under cabin with luggages.

Arrived at 23:00, I found my Arnaq all alive in her cage on the airport. She was little weirded out but calm. And here was really lolzy. Everyone was all WOW or WTFy seeing me importing a dog. My Dad came to me and he laughted so dearly seeing me with cage... but with dog XD.

My Dad is awesome. He was all the way laughting at me, begin lolzy  because my 30 hours were full of adventures, flying to way different country all alone, met people from internet knowing about them NOTHING, running away from cops and etc.


Sorry, I had to write this SO quickly. I'm in big hurry as always. I apologize if your... internet has crashed because of my stupid photo spammage. Sorry for mistakes or.. how poorly I've made this review. Me stupid begin in hurry. Or.. something. I skipped many things and events, but oh well. Next time I might to do proffessional review once I'll have my traveller's website <3


Oh. And go and send much love to for begin awesome.

Love for all my kids <3

I'm in such shitty situation... which I'm so hopeless how to get out from this crap.



I've handled and solved my every problem in my real life. Every problem, sorrow, drama, tough situation or whatever.. is kind of an experience for your way through life. I've been always strong handed with this.


But now, this little thing is much more harder than any other ever I had.

PS: Thank you for all support and warm comments.

EDIT: We have a 2010 now! Happy New Year!

Life is like a book.
Every year is like a chapter of our book.
Everyone has unique life.
But now, my chapter of '09 is about to end. It was a good year, so eventful and I had so many fantastic unexpected adventures, and got so many experiences. Life is the best teacher. The ending of this year was depressing and full of sorrow, but all that must have happened to close this chapter.
I've closed some friendships and my dreams. Some things needs to be ended and closed.
And open the new chapter.. the 2010 one.

I go on my own Personal Legend.



I wish you the best in next year and to be on your way of your Personal Legend.  And never give up with your dreams. And be loyal to your dreams and on your Personal Legend.


Life is not that- business, money, fame and family.
Most people are going on the way what is trendy. To make a business to earn money, even that's not their true desire. But if everyone are doing that, and to be businessman is good job since you earn good money - so why not? If everyone are doing that so then I will do that as well.
We, people, became a puppets of new era. We usually go with what is trendies. We go by economy, teen's are going by celebrities and are celebrity-wanna'bes (and they lose their own personalities), politicians and goverment are using us and making us as slaves. And mass media became the Judges of our lives.
Only really few people are going with their true desires.. and those are great people.. which I truly adore.
I heard so many girls are desprerately searching for boyfriends/husbands, not that they truly want but that's trendy to have. Usually in common women world, singles are subcategoried- because it's natural to produce kids and have a couple. So nothing suprising that I hear so often how tragically are ending relationships/marriages.

So what's sense of life to sit behind the desk and doing business and earn and earn money which are just only papers, and raise kid, and your kids would do same as their parents endlessly? That everyone are working on economy in hurry are, as I said, puppets of new era and technology?

And due to trendies, people have forgot about their true dreams and desires. Like a person who dreams deeply in heart to sail on the boat whole world, taste a beautiful and extremal experience of journey- will rather give up this dream because there are things better to do - earn money and take care of their beloved company which is giving lots of money. Nowadays people listen other people/goverment/media/whatever instead their hearts.

Many people were calling me "you are so lucky" that because I do travel and discover amazing places and have great events.
No, I am not lucky. I have worked so hardly for this and indeed I had very hard and tragical past.  I never gave up with my dreams, even are sounding so impossible. I'm normal like everyone, but just one who has found Personal Legend. And I know everyone can find own Legend, like I did.

I had found my own path, which is called Personal Legend. Before I never tasted this.
And I felt like happiest person on the earth. And discovered how life is beautiful. Maybe one day, I will share with my own path experiences and what's exactly Personal Legend.


So that's why I wish everyone to find own unique path and go by true desires and realize dreams. The true hapiness and enjoyment of life is in your heart, not the money, fame, trendies or so.


HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

EDIT:

Damn.

It's canceled. I had a meeting with them about details of trip, it's beyond of my funds. That trip itself sounded so amazing, we were supposed to visit whole Florida plus go to Caribbeans. But tell me, who can pay for two week trip at LEAST 5000$+ ?

Soyes, Im sorry everyone! I was myself superexcited and really wanted to meet you guys from Florida! (devMeet!)

Love for everyone!

BTW: I bewareee, it's a BIG LECTURE TO READ!
I typed this out of boredooomm... feel free to to talk with me <3

Today I was invited to exclusive American School of Warsaw ([link]. Its a real american school with small village with pretty houses- and here the law, education system is American, not Polish and you speak here only in english. Thats like a small part of america in Warsaw XD.
Here was a huge picnic party, some american BBQ party which i have no idea. I hanged with some kids XD. I sat down and suddenly I started having "flashbacks" and thinking about my trip to america which happen week ago...


This my crazy unexpected decision going all alone to USA and whole trip was the best thing which I did in this year. I learned so much here. And it changed my life. America is my country and homeland, not Europe. Just I was thinking myself "OH hai im stupid european kid ".

Yes. I've born in USA, and I lived for four years and then we ran to Europe... but originally, we were supposed to live in USA, as my destiny has been written. But my parents decided move to Europe...
I used to travel much but usually with my family or friends. Since I moved from USA to europe, I lived in Finland, later in Spain and at the end I stopped in Poland because of that my mother is Polish. Probably I visited whole europe. I remember always when i was getting back to home (to Poland), i was all YEEE, its always the best to be in my own coutry! I was happy and always excited. But this time, while getting back to Poland from USA i was totally unhappy. Now, still I am not happy begin here.

Going to america all alone, without using travel-tourist offers or whatever is called, without knowing english, to different world and especially living with a person whom i met on INTERNET XD. Isn't that creepy?

Well, that was a real taste of adventure begin on different land. Because if you go with brouchure tour/with guider or just with family- it has no real taste. No stress, because your family/guider/responsible people will take care with you. That was a waste of journey, believe me, I barely remember my travels to different countries with family. Suprisingly, I was in america only four years ago with my family for a MONTH- this my 10th touched me MUCH stronger, taught me MUCH more than the month one.
I was around with only real americans and no my native language speaking. I never had real practice with english, and absolutely I didt understand what they were talking to me. School never taught me english speaking well, even such short trip helped me more than several weeks of stupid english lessons _{maybe im just having dislexia and i work a lot better on practice >.>}.
Whole trip was hard and stressful for me, but on other hand was really fun, adventurous and gained new experiences. I love challenges. I was all NUUU i want go back to homeeee, but in fact i didnt want go back to home.
Even now, im sitting at my room, without worry and stress, lying on my own comfy bed- i feel LESS happier and all ":/" than begin stressed on the trip.

You know, experiencing events without stress and emotions- you wont remember them well. Wont learn much from it. But experiences with big amount of stress will make you remember trip better ^^. _{ESPECIALLY, i remember the best part when suddenly i HAD to take a bus with creepy americans (my friend HAD to come and drop me from NYC, which was way comfy and safer than in foregin bus but she couldnt) to Syracuse for FIVE hours in stortm and it CHANGED schedule and i thought all time that bus was going to Toronto, not my destination.. plus my phone roaming died that i couldnt contact with anyone.. freekish stress.} ANYWAY. I wont bore you with details of trip moar

_{if some ppl interested, I can make a journal of my whole this trip, including devmeets and funny events XD}

That trip was sort of a test of my maturity. Also i came to visit my country which i born and as well to learn real english. Yes, all "exams" were passed, i came back to home alive, and yes I improved a little with english and.... I want to live in America.

I say, Europe and America are different worlds. Not only about lifestyle, law, stuff, schlock, landscapes, culture but people as well. They totally inspired me a lot... well next time i shall write journal about people. Its always super interesting to meet ppl from different countries. Now when Im back, Im moar americanized kid

Ok, I will stop babbling now. Just i want to let you know... spending on travellings, is the best invest in yourself. You'll learn about life, the language, meet the world and explore new horizons_{noegyptvacations plz... do hardcore and survival trips XD}. There are many stuffs with travels, which the best school wont teach you...

So.

Since I am in fact american kid, _{and *actually* I realized that I am illegal begin in Poland because I have no paperworks of legality begin in poland. DUDE, so many problems i had with travel stuff! They didnt want to let me to Poland because I have no polish visa since I was on american passport.}, who for many years was behaved in Europe, filled with european culture and shits, calling myself as proud european kid... I JUST planned that in future, once i finish university I am moving to America.
To my homeland.

But of course before this huge move, I definately plan to come back to america again in next year and try to visit as often as I can to reveal my true american spirit




... after that BBQ party ended at American School my shirt was all splatted with ketchup XD.  Andd.. some kids did NASTY prank with my phone :/. Im totally unhappy and mad of prank, I may write about it later- but what i learned, NEVER leave phone alone anywhere. GO everywhere with your foooonee..

Magical news. Just quickly.

Dear 'mericans,


Go outside and look for Pearl in the USA on September!


Well, for serious.. I believed coming to america.. and holding my devmeet in that different continent was not possible, at least for long time.


But suddenly everything worked like magic and for 95% I am going to America,.. in next month.


I'm coming to my wonderful 'merican friend and I'll stay with her and have horrible time. Thats so sweet of her for helping me with everything <3

So.


Are you UP for American devMeet?

Nowadays there are a lot pageviews trendy... no, i meant Fakeviews.

Out of curiosity..

What are pageviews?

Pageviews are numbers which are showing how many ppl visited you. It is attractive in way, if someone have moar pageviews so means "oooh they have huge traffics, many people are visiting him  so means must have interesting art". Thats what are originaly pageviews working.

However here on dA...
I visit often "Today" section just to wander around and I've seen many times irrational pageviews numbers each day. It catches me interest and I am all WTF, such number for nothing. Nothing I mean, certain person is on dA only for few weeks, have almost nothing in gallery and is pretty much inactive. For what is 20.000- 30.000 thousand pgvws? Not right, dude.
There is person "F" which i know from very beginning (i.e. Joined to da today) and suddenly by having nothing in gallery and no activity earning surreal number over 10.000pgvs each day. Another is whitedog1 (many people will get that she got such traffics by comics) but i can swear that I've seen she from beginning was earning irrational amounts which is impossible.

So many pageviews cheating is here, if im right. People are doing this, just to attract stupid people who are judging awesomeness by pageviews. If those are glitches, if they want to have own honor and own real audience, so why WONT change account?
Funny thing is, Ulaa asked admins do they know about pageviews glitches, they were like oooh i dont know about this and saw certains person irrational amount pageviews they were like OMG what an awesome artist- it crashed me XD.


Thats why we dont believe in pageviews. They mean really nothing, and it stopped meaning to be as original translation of pageviews since a lot is cheating and "popularity chasing".


YOU, be pround that you have real pageviews. Those are yours and real, filled with honor. Even your little 10.000 or fewer real pageviews are beating surreal fake pageview numbers.
Try not going by trendy, try to draw what you want- not to draw just to get more pageviews. Draw your original creations, experiment and what you really enjoy- earn little but real pageviews and real attention, than stealing art or drawing for popularity in order to get so many pageviews.

_{Sadly, by observing yet many people are believing in pageviews that are making great artist/person..}

BTW, second part of rant. _{NOTE: I do love deviantART and i am very loyal member for dA, but I can oppose and tell what I truly think. I hope I wont be banned for not positive words about dA}

deviantART loves popularity and pageviews. Yes, whole popularity trendy has happen by dA, I mean they created a gap between normal deviants and popular.. on main page by dividing NEWEST and POPULAR deviations. They SET "Popular" on their main page. Do you want to be feature on their homepage? YOU MUST BE POPULAR. GET many favs.

Whole dA is working based on numbers. If the numbers are higher, then you are FEATURED by dA. Not about frontpage judged by highest amount of favs but "Today"- got many pageviews? Woohoo we place you on the list!

ADCast. People are buying this _{expensive (sic!)} feature to get moar pageviews. YES PAGEVIEWS, not attention. THEY EARN MONEY on pageviews.

And another reason is, whole popularity contest is FUN. It attracts people to visit da and join to play with popularity, not art because not many in the world artists are so talented. Not really skilled artist can join and for fun draw animu just to get pageviews because there are many people who are adoring pageviews than art.


I am on another art community. Which has NO popularity division. NO pageviews. NOTHING WITH POPULARITY. ANY ARTIST can be noticed- unknown and known. What results are?  one word: BORING.
It makes website fair... but way unatractive.


PS: If you dont care about pageviews, turn them off

K. Rant done. Im gonna play Majora's Mask.

Okay, so as I said- for long time I have planned to write article about "popularity" which for long time i was gathering, resarching and thinking about it... because there is a huge gap between popular ones and normal people. It is not happening only on dA.. but in real life- I had exactly same situation in real life, like on dA. But here, we'll focus on "popularity" on the deviantART.

Here you can tell me your opinions, what you think and such. I can relate with this- myself I was n00b, common watcher and now- myself totally I do not feel like "popular artist" psychically- but physically I am popular- nearly to 2 million pgvws, close to 30 thousand watchers etc, so, i can see both sides. _{only i dont understand super n00bish one XD}

Here is common problem..  there is hierarchy- dA society created that popular artists are "High" and the rest normal deviants are "humans" and even some "highs" are treating also their watchers as "subhumans"! (i've heard this story from person which felt like subhuman).

Celebrities (popular artists) they are always right, even they dont have right arguments. They hate getting critiques, even is 100% rational (objective, not by person's taste)._{I mean, they have fully right to not accept critique, but shutting doors and crying isnt good thing- I have experienced by that when I rationally critiqued someone- when she ended screaming at me  "you are the worst"}
If you hurt celebrity, even you apologize them- they will turn their back to you. Ignore, treat you like nothing. You hurted them, then you are worst thing no matter what. Again it was from my experience. See? Even im known here, myself I fear celebrities.
Of course with art, they are feeling high and with ego thinking that they are so great. Kind of braggy. Ego.
By my observations I noticed that kind of people are usually young popular artists. Where they can let their emotions and egoism easily.

But... many popular artists are begin hurt by begin "popular". Not all celebrites are scary, but I know many popular ones who have wonderful personality. They didnt let to get by egoism, emotions and they were able to work with everything.

Stereotypes. Yes, stereotypes.

Someone goes to my page, taking a look on my pageviews  and without knowing me- are judging me." You are high, untouchable and egoist. You cant draw, you suck and you really draw only for popularity" They do to me many times, which becames tiring. I'll admit that im tired to explaining them,  Im getting in rage and Im like "shut up @#$%^& and dammit to stereotypes".. but by now, I ignore them. It happens to many popular artists, who have great personality as well.

Thats huge misunderstanding between watchers and popular ones.

Thats all for now, just some little and short words from me- i have researched many interesting things about them and a "true key" to this problem, but this journal is just here you can write, express your words and experiences with popular artists. Try to seek for answers why is that happening? What can help to get better relations, and remove the gap between them. Why do you fear them?

I'll admit that I havent been responding to your comments lately, I was lacking of time since I was out from computer often. Dont worry, I may not to reply you but I will read your every comment- it can gain helpful informations.

Only a week left to.. deviantartA 9th Birthday!


It's been almost nine years of deviantART existence on website... in August 7th we shall celebrate 9th birthday. Not only admins, but we want everyone to celebrate.   Once that special day come, there will be waiting epic contest, games and suprises- so be prepared for this fun! I'll join in this one.

By the way... check this! [link] made a lottery for dA b-day. The winner(s) can get fabulous prizes from me. If anyone is interested to be a "sponsor" and fund more prizes (i.e. subscriptions) for this lottery, is quite welcomed! In exchange some of you will get a feature in my journal.
Quickly, how lottery works: very simple- just add to favourites this picture, and your devName with number is in favourites list. On 7th, Im asking people outside from dA for to choose random number (from 1 to total amount of favourites).


In next several days after dA celebration I will have 3rd anniversary of begin on dA. Now quickly...

For me this site is just more than artists and business website, its like a huge family for me. And every my watcher, too.
I've been member on dA almost for 3 years. For entire 2 and half year I have survived many events on this site, starting here begin as total n00b , such stupid 15 year kid and ended here who I am now. Started by posting crappy pictures and n00b comments, ended by meeting wonderful dA admins/creator- $Heidi and +spyed. By every year, every event, Im growing psychically stronger and stronger "connected" to dA. Many people are complaining and pointing the worst thing here are dramas.. but no. Dramas build me to be stronger and taught me many important thing. Popularity races.. I found a key what is most important for artist who is popularity- is to be modest and.. "a human". Like everyone.  Im lurker on dA and I research in silence about them (plus i got from your very helpful comments about what do you feel begin with "popular artist"), so I must say today times are where many popular ones are making a hierarchy, where *they* are Highs and other are subhumans. People fear popular artists, popular ones are thinking that watchers are boring.. thats one huge misunderstanding. I plan to write a big article about this soon... and on this special devDay  everyone should reunite together.
And at final I have gained experience begin with people and art on internet... on my anniversary journal I would love to share with them and my story from my beginning on dA- and how by everything hardly I have build.. yeah, PearlEden. _{srsrly i was so stoooopid *rolls eyes*..}

So, share with me some words about dA! How and why did you join in dA?
