Yeah, it's me lol. I've been around. Not posting many images because I find the images I have been working on take me longer that it used to. I've also been trying to improve my modeling skills. I've also been very sick and in desperate financial shape as always and not even finding the small job work I used to do. Been living on instant mashed potatoes and spaghetti noodles since new years. Though someone did give me Macromedia Studio for xmas, and that was a bomb for me, since I've been wanting to learn flash for a while now, hust to make goofy animations and interfaces lol. Sending out many resumes and getting very very few replies. Trying to give deeper critiques and be more helpful when I look through the galleries. Trying to stay out of politics here on this site as well, since frankly, I just don't care. Finally got closure on one issue that has deeply affected my life for over twenty years. I had to act like an asshole to get the closure, which is completely unnatural for me, but it had to be done. The old school hackers did it mostly for fun and to learn. And I freely admit, I used to be one of them. They weren't out to hurt people. It was enough just to show you could do it. The new guys tho, they seem to be out to cause damage. Maybe I'm weird but i just don't see the fun in hurting things, whether businesses or people. I can't even see the enjoyment in flaming people lol. I only brought this up because my friend has, a couple of times, given me URLS to various pages which contained long lists of usernames, passwords and account information, with paypal being high on the list. I could have literally gotten into anyone's account at paypal had I wanted. Fortunately, I'm not the kind of person who is inclined to theft, no matter how bad things might be, but it would have been very easy indeed. My friend mostly takes fiendish glee in hacking into porn sites. It's his thing, what can I say. He's a moron with a good heart and he's my friend in spite of himself lol.

Talent is God's gift to you. Using it is your gift to God.
