Well, why are we all here? Because we have a fun little hobby. We make pictures. I guess, for some people, the novelty has worn off. For me, every time I power up my machine I marvel at the artistic options available to me. It's fun, it's exciting and, I find, it encourages creativity.

Why do folk complain all the time? I blame television. Not the medium itself, but all the 'Consumer Rights' programmes there are. They have created a kind of sub-culture .. a culture of victimhood. Everything that's not as you like it is someone else's fault. And, in a free society, what is the aggrieved individual's most potent weapon? It sure ain't the ballot box (though it should be) .. no .. it's the personal complaint. So, in a way, they are exercising their democratic right.

But I'm not complaining about the complainers. No. I love you all. I pat you on the head. I thank you for your contributions to our little community. I sympathise with the turmoil in your spirits that makes you want to lash out. I offer you my chin .. go on .. punch my lights out if it'll make you feel better. Now .. breathe deeply, count to 10, and let me buy you a virtual beer.

ps. I am not on medication. I just have a happy and fulfilling life on-line, and I love making pretty pictures.
