Only four hours are between me and the year of 2009. The last year of the first decade of the 21st Century. Today's the last day of 2008, a year where many important things happend! A year to be remembered. A year that will be mentioned in the history books. And we'll say in the future... "Hey! I saw it! I was there when that happend. I remember that. ^_^".

Good and bad things happend in this year. And we all must to be gratefull to be alive and see this year reach the end. 2009 will be better than 2008 was. It'll be great you'll see! Who knows what wait for us in this new year? Only God knows.

In the final countdown for the begin of new year... When you count the last numbers... "3... 2... 1..." When the clock rings midnight... Right a step forward with your right foot. Let's start 2009 with happiness. I know that milions of people can't have a happy new year like most of us. For many different reasons. Some lost someone loved... Some lost the house and everything else in some disaster... Some have nobody to hug at the midnight... Or some just preffer to stay alone. Let's pray for those who can't feel the happiness. And wish that their life gets better. ^_^ At the midnight... Give a hug on the person who you love. Tell him or her you love him/her. Forget the bad things that happend to you in this year, and take the good memoried with you to the year that is just about to start.

I am going to get ready for the new year cellebration right now. 8:42 PM on my watch, and I'd better run to not get late. ^^

I wish you all a super, duper, great and awesome new year! May God take care and bless you. Not only you... But all your family and whoever else are in your life. Keep only good thoughts in your mind, and practice the good. No matter what your religion is. Practice the good. And you'll allways be happy.

From the midle of the South America continent, from the heart of the Brazil... Poke Yoshi wishes you a Happy New Year my friends!

The End Has Come. A New Begin Starts.

Good morning/afternoon/evening guys. A few days ago I’ve told about writing a serious journal soon do you remember? Well, this is here. No jokes today (since when I do jokes?) or anything happy. Today I want to communicate some final decisions of mine. I don’t expect comments on this journal or anybody to agree or disagree with me. I know that MANY people won’t agree with me. I want to apologize now for any offense I could make in this journal. Trust me… Offend is not my intention, but if this happen, if you feel offended by something that is writen below, then I am so sorry. If I offend someone then feel free to hate me. Just let me know that ok? I have the right to know why I am being ignored and possibly blocked.

After this journal, about 80% of the people who watches me will move on to somewhere else and act as if I am not here. They will probably remove their watch and ignore that they watched me some day, or even if they don’t do that, they will simply don’t come here anymore. But it’s ok… I can deal with that. That will show who and how real some friends are. But ok.

Well…. You know that I went into a “break from vore” right? So yeah… That break was really great. It helped me to see the truth about what I want and what I like. I’m not saying that I don’t like vore anymore though (In fact… I like it since I was kid, way before deviantART exist. It was because of it I become a dA member.) I’ve been paying attention on the “ progress” that some people had been doing on their art in the last year and also on the new “types” of things that had came up in the last year. One thing I had noticed… The number of people interested on mature content had been increasing, and these people want to bring this dirt “world” to the clean world we know today. How? Simple! By drawing perverted versions of the good and classic vore. Not just vore but all what you can think about. About two years ago it was still possible to search for the words “snake vore” on dA for example, and get a return of about 98% of clean material in the results. But today, with the same words, the results will return about 97% of perv content. I can’t deal with people going into the mature content like this. They are drawing even the most innocent things in explicit situations. Like another day when I was surfing on Google, looking for pics of characters from The Lion King to learn how to draw them. I found the most disgusting thing I could see in that search… I found a pic of an anthro Simba in a very pornographic pose. That was very repugnant. Why do you people do things like that? Can’t you have fun with the good “safe for all ages” stuff?

Now let me back to talk about my decisions… -.- It’s very saddening and frustrating to me see good people I know, my friends, going into this perv “world”. I never had noticed it before, or I didn’t wanted to notice, but most of the people who likes vore are completely perves. I was ok with me here and they there, doing their dirt stuff far from me BUT…! Their world started to grow and knocked on my door. What do I mean? These people started to try to put me into this pagan world. I had received quite a few dirt pics in my deviantWATCH inbox and notes from people requesting me to draw indecent stuff for them. Such like… Suri swallowing a naked girl with his p**** e*******. Argh! >_< Forget it. Anyway… The example is clear and easy to understand. This kind of request was getting very frequent but I DO NOT DRAW MATURE CONTENT!!! I NEVER DREW IT AND I WILL NEVER DRAW! STOP SENDING ME NOTES REQUESTING ME THIS! As if the notes weren’t enough, they started to make requests on my MSN too. And not just requests…. Someone also decided to introduce mature content in a role play on MSN. Gosh how I hated that! >_< I tried to take rid of the situation and make things don’t get out of control, but I couldn’t deal with that. Then I quit.

Now listen… See my friends getting into this demented perv “world” are very saddening to me. (wait… I guess I already said that earlier didn’t I? \= . ) My parents taught me very well to recognize what is good and what is not. What I need and what I don’t. And one thing I know… Being perv is not nice and I don’t need it. So… If they want to this for them, then I can’t do anything but express how I feel about it. But I can’t follow them in this path. My path is another one. They want to go? Then go! But I stay. I’m not trying to change anyone. I know I can’t. But all of this made me lose the interest on vore. I really don’t expect to receive any comments in this journal or that someone is still reading to this until here. I know nobody cares about what I think. I know nobody cares about what the truth is.

I can’t deal with this depraved people all around the Internet with their pornographic drawings, disgusting “types” of vore such like “tail vore”, “bre*st vore”, “UB”, “AV” and God knows what else. All what is not the old regular vore, like people call, are half way to the “mature world”. They’re in the borderline of “18+” and “all ages”. Now you who like them will probably say “HEY! This is not the truth! >= (”. Oh yeah? Then prove it if you can! I had been into a big research and didn’t found anything that could prove the opposite of what I said. Damn you Eka’s Portal, pit of depravation!

One word describes my opinion about these “types” of [dirt] vore…REPUGNANT!

Fun fact: My audience had been VERY low in the last months, even before I stop drawing vore. It could be a simple coincidence but the audience had fallen at the same time as the perverted “artists” and “art” number grew up. My theory? Simple… I don’t draw this kind of thing, and since most of the people who watches are “vore lovers”, and most of the “vore lovers” are perves (this is a sad fact, can’t be denied), they have no reason to keep looking at my clean pics. So the audience fall.

Now, after explain (almost) all of my reasons, I will leave here my final decisions…

My break from vore will be permanent. That means that I give up the vore and won’t draw any other vore pic anymore until further notice. Something that should not happen so soon.

All of the unfinished vore works such like the last page of the “ Pokémon battle with Zearo”, the revamping of “Smash Yoshi Swallow Peach” (or something like that) and others can be considered CANCELED. Yeah. I will never finish them.

DON’T ask me to draw dirt stuff. NEVER!

I lost the interest on vore because of all of this dirt junk around, the people who requested me to draw dirt stuff, people ignoring my non-vore works, people wanting me to go into “tail vore” and the others “types” of vore (as if that can be called “type” or even “vore” ), etc. But that doesn’t mean that I hate vore (I’m talking about the NORMAL vore). In fact… It will still be possible to see some occasional vore works in my favorites. But not as before, and don’t expect new vore pics made by me. (not saying it will be impossible to see something by me in the future. I don’t plan to draw anything related to vore, but as an old phrase says… “Never say never.” )

I will keep my vore drawings in my gallery, but some of them will be modified. How? Stay tuned if you’re really interested to know.

So that’s it. Vore no more. Forget the old Poke Yoshi you met two years ago. His time is over. He had his chance to have a place in the sunlight and failed. Now he’s dead, buried, and his soul rest in peace, lost somewhere in his childish past.

If you don’t like my changes, then I’m so sorry to say this but LEAVE! Now… If you who are reading to this annoying and boring journal liked them, or just deal with them, then say hello to the new Poke Yoshi!

I am sorry for this journal being so long. Thank you very much to you who read this until here.

P.S: As I said earlier in this journal… Most of my current watchers will leave me alone, but it’s ok! I’m managing to make a new public who can appreciate my non-vore art. 2009 is knocking on the door. The new times wind blew through the window. 2009 will be better I know! I wish you all a very happy and awesome New Year, and may God bless you all and your family. May God take good care of you all my true friends.

From your friend…
Poke Yoshi
