On a side (Halo) note, I've been practicing my elite death sounds after hearing them way too much the past few days and I think I could clearly imitate one! Ok, time for sleep again...

But then again, my art over here is something I do in my free time, so I guess the videos should take priority anyway.

Gather 'round, lemme tell you all a story:

I went to a football game today (lil brother, all little kids) and noticed a lot more things then usual. In some ways I felt it was a good thing, but in some ways, I also realized I noticed a lot more things that made me self conscious.


First, I noticed everything that was going on outside of my direct vision. Noticed the dog to my left (and as he jumped at a little girl) and the kids playing in the grass on the right (all this while listening to music) but then some other things came too. Such as:


I noticed near the end of the game one kid was looking at me a few times, thought it was kinda wierd...

Then the ref (a girl, highschool age) looked at me (unmistakably right at me) and started talking, obviously inaudible because I was listening to music, but she acted as if she knew me. This isn't the first time shes done this, BUT, what made me think about it, was...

She looked EXACLTY like a friend of mine, exactly, though older. I thought for a minute if I was truly looking into the future (I'm really not kidding) it struck me as odd, though I knew it couldn't be. (the face was slightly off, but could have been possible)


Anyway, my words spoken again in the name of rantness!

I also found that I drink a lot of water... (it's at the bottom of most of the entries, like one doesn't have it)


So I ask you all, look back at the past, even if it doesn't have anything to do with this site. Try and remember what you were like then.



Just try it!

Why?

I really wasn't happy with the renders, most of them seemed out of place. I WILL still make renders on request best I can but I will become a main terrain artist (if you would consider that being an artist) along with photography of course, though I haven't had many photo opportunities here.

Changes?

Art will come at a bit slower pace (though it was insanely slow to start with) but the slow is being sped up (if that makes any sense) Anything on my art page that needs to be changed will be changed to reflect this. My old fractals will stay and all new terragens will stay with the CC license but free to use as desktops and such.



Feel free to send messages regarding collabs and fractal requests. I'll try to get them made as soon as possible and get them back to you!

As I enter a new phase in my life, I wonder what the future holds for me in almost unbearable anticipation. Will there be a day when I make a million dollars? when my name is known globally? when all those people that decided to make fun of me in recent year for whatever reason or another, wish they hadn't?

Will there be a day when humanity can be free of things such as, Hollywood getting pissed off at every little thing, when people that are sitting there making millions help out the ones who aren't? When OPEC can realize there's more to life then just more money (though some US companies need to come to that revelation as well).

When I don't have to spend 3 hours researching something I want to buy just to find out weather it's good or not (quality should be commonplace). When I can wake up in the morning and feel safe that I can't be killed at anytime by some terrorist attack. When I can get on an airplane without going to the airport 4 hours ahead of time just to barely make it onto the plane, to realize when I got there I now have to pay for even my first bag? (recent change by American Airlines)

All these things (or at least most of them) seem impossible now, and truth is, they are. But the world can change, as it has been for the past millions of years, problem is, very few people take action, and it seems the only way to get things done in this world is strength in numbers against a smaller entity.

Lets all take action against problems in this world, from the rating and copyright of artwork I know some of you are fighting for, to world hunger and government corruption all over the world. To ending pointless wars and carefully entering inevitable ones. We can make a difference if we try, the only issue we face is: there's not enough try...

Tools of the Trade: Exactly that, me and my egocentric self (there's a great example) decided to make a collection of my "tools" that I use to do one or more of the following:

Pwn all teh n00bz

make art (seems rare these days)

play games (seems not so rare at all)

throw at people (haven't quite thought this one up yet, but I'll find something)

or use on a daily basis.

Why again? Because I can be a self centered SOB sometimes... Well, maybe more then sometimes. I think I consider MYSELF lucky that none of my RL friends (despite contrary belief, they exist) actually come on here and read/post here. Te he...

Anyway, enjoy, new terragens may be coming soon.

Good Things:

Friends from out of town are visiting
Plenty of free time to finally get that 30 in slayer and finally my major
Tons of airsoft target practice (empty cans from the halo nights)
MORE TIME TO SLEEP!
and a few more unlisted things

Bad Things:

GHIII is pissing me off
R6 Vegas 2 is coming out, so all my Halo/COD4 friends are going to play that
Everyone is out of town, so no one to go airsoft with (the fun of cans only lasts so long, and its really not that long at all)
Everyone that plays Halo sucks now...
I go back in less then a week...

Let’s get a scenario out there. Say we had a world without pessimism. Nobody would worry about anything. Sure, things would be stress free and easier, in a sense. But... If you have ever seen movies in military training camps, you usually see some drill sergeant yelling at his men to do push ups or do some other training exercise. He will usually throw in some comments about how terrible the men are and how they will never succeed etc. It makes them stronger. If he just said, “don’t worry, you’ll get it down some day,” they would never get anything done, they wouldn’t be ready for the mental challenges either. See where I’m going with this?

Mother Nature is way ahead of me, and it happens in the wild every day, two types of populations that keep the other in check. Without snakes, we are over come with rats. Most people are afraid of snakes, though most are harmless. But what would be the outcome without snakes? I’ll leave that one to your own imagination. Now you’re catching on. So, now ask again, is one right or wrong? Make your own decision.


What's your view?


By the way, I'm a pessimist

Well, talk to you when I talk to you (dates and times never guaranteed) and, maybe you'll even check my page later tonight or tomorrow for something new!
