Right now I don't really have much to say that isn't pointing out the obvious, so here's the news I guess:
First off, if you haven't already noticed the title of this blog, it's Ashira's Home. Yeah, just like the other website. So if that information alone doesn't tell you that one's going to be gone sometime soon, then... I'll be removing the other Ashira's Home website in a few days here. Also, if you didn't read the welcoming text, you'll also notice that I'm no longer working on my Autobiography...sorta project any longer either. This blogspot thing is totally replacing all that. Sorry if you were interested.
Second of all, is something totally separate that I just kinda wanted to mention. If you know me on Facebook, you may remember a post similar to this:
"Would you buy if I sold my artwork for like a dollar? And would you buy if I took requests?"
Well, I'm actually working on that now, though it'll be a little bit more costly than just a dollar...it'll be fairly priced, though, rest assured. I'm going to be starting up a website store. I'll be sure to give updates once I have it up and running so that ya'll can buy. It'll really just be artwork at first, but soon it'll be that poetry book that I'm working on as well as T-shirts once I save up enough money for the printer and such.
But speaking of my poetry book, I'm looking for people who'd be willing to contribute a poem or two to my upcoming poetry book. Before I go on, however, let me explain what it even is. I'm working on a poetry book so that I can both save up some cash that I need for myself as well as my mom, who is going to Kenya in September and also saving up to go to Haiti to do all she can to help out. So the money I get will be divided 50-50. I'm going to be writing anywhere between 50 and 100 poems, depending on how many poems I get donated [I feel like that's the wrong word to say, but whatever...].
If you're interested in contributing, just e-mail me at ashiracartel@yahoo.com or something with a copy of the poem[s] that you would like in the book as well as a pseudo-name that you'd like to go by and any other information you'd like me to put in the book. Unless you give me a pseudo-name, I'll just be calling you "anonymous". There will be no about the authors portion of the book, so no need to send me a paragraph explaining yourself. Also, I can't pay you anything because I really need the money I'm saving for my future [such as college] and my mom really needs the money she's saving for herself in order to get to Haiti. The deadline for this is July 13th, 2010. This may or may not be extended, but please try to get your poems in by then nonetheless.
To anyone who does contribute, thank you so much. I'm sorry that I won't be able to pay you for your efforts but rest assured that the money made with it is going to a good cause.

Welcome!
Hello. I'm Ashira, Ashira Saide Cartel. You may know me from my other websites - Ashira's Notebook and Ashira's Store - but this is a totally different place [obviously].
I get bored with my life and have many plans. I try to keep people updated as best as I can, but that's kinda hard. I like ranting, I'll admit that, and sometimes talking about my website just doesn't happen. I don't like a diary because it either just gets really personal and I don't know what to do with it, or more likely than not I wanna share it with too many people and it's not that personal anymore.
As a solution, I first thought I'd try working on an Autobiography...sorta...but there was a lot in it that I just didn't like and didn't want to mention. There was also the fact that most of the book wasn't something I was up to selling, and overall it was just too much work that I wasn't willing to do. So I eventually ended up just quitting it...but I still thought, "What should I do...?" I didn't want to use my time making a whole 'nother website all for the purpose of randomly ranting, so after watching a video on YouTube from user MasakoX, I figured "Eh...alright, I'll give it a go" and here I am...on blogger. I'm also on tumblr if you're more into the short, random crap that's on my mind. I used to put this stuff under my main blog posts as Random Song of the Moment, Random Artwork of the Moment, etc.

I do wanna note a few things to any random visitors, however... first of all, this place is quite different than Ashira's Notebook. I don't censor myself quite so much [therefore I curse/swear, I talk about touchy subjects, etc.]. Secondly, I tend to talk about completely unrelated things from artwork. The things I discuss here usually are just general updates geared towards friends and family interested in what I'm doing with my life, as well as fans looking for a more personal side of the artist behind the artwork.
If you're hoping to get an inside scoop on my current projects, I will occasionally put things about them, but usually I'll write about random crap. In that case, I suggest you look at the News section on Ashira's Notebook more often and maybe checking out the Forums. If you're looking for examples of my written work, again I share some things on here, but the majority of my work is on my Writer's Cafe.
All that in mind, I hope enjoy your stay at Ashira's Home.
