Im not online much these days, in-fact im only on for at most and hour or two each day lately. Not surprisingly, spending so little time online, im a little out of the loop. It appears however no matter how far out of this loop you get, once you get back in its exactly the same as how you left it, that loop ofcourse being the whole Rtil and Mindchamber thing. Now im not going to turn this into one of those posts most people do about how right or wrong one or the other or both of them are, that's been done and these days im trying to avoid covering old ground, that's sometimes called progression for you folks not in the know. It would be hypocritical of me to write a journal like this without pointing out the obvious, that i too was a shit stirring tosser not more then a year ago.

Metal Gear Boresum
Sprites And The Newgrounds Review System
Newgrounds In The Year 2010

But why was i shit stirring? I don't mind being honest about it now. I wanted attention, clear and simple, and when people stop giving a shit about what you do i suppose that's what can happen. Nobody cared about my cartoons, i wasn't happy at work, and i was online a hell of allot to much. So i deliberately went out of my way to stir up shit about stuff people on this website cared about because it made me feel like they cared what i had to say. And that's it. I didn't care who i was targeting or why people thought they were good, it was all about me. Hell i went so far as to organize One Love and then throw it back into everyone's faces.

And here i am year later, a little wiser, and a little, no scrap that, allot less interested in this whole internet finger pointing business. Newgrounds is what it is, people are what they are, and that's how the world works. Is 99% of the stuff on this website absolute garbage? Of course it is, and so is the content on Youtube and DeviantArt and every other website in existence, and further then the internet, everything from film, television and music shares the same ratio. That's the way things are. We could all spend our time bitching and moaning about these things, we could even get personal about it. But in the end what does it achieve? A little self gratification perhaps? At what cost? Well none really, a few people online might think your a dick i guess. Whats my point? I don't know, i don't think im saying that im better because now im not living online, although it can easily be taken that way, i suppose its more just, this is all so pointless (not newgrounds itself, but peoples attitudes toward it), the only thing that seems like more of a waste is arguing over something so pointless.

But enough of that, whats going on in my life? I know there are a few people who seem to like keeping tabs on my journals these days, feels good to be noticed for something honest actually. Well, im about to move home again, im moving closer to where i currently work, in a little place in Brisbane called New Farm with my lovely girlfriend. I haven't really met any NG folk from up this way, i know Blordow and Sexual Lobster both live up here, should really track em down and meet up with em for lunch some day. Aside from that, the childrens book illustrating role i mentioned a journal back is confirmed. So that's pretty exciting, and also, after The Basics - Like A Brother, a second band is interested in getting me to do a video for them, im keeping it pretty close to my chest at the moment since nothing is official, but ill keep you posted. That pretty much sums it up. Ill leave you with a video my girlfriend found a few weeks ago, i really love it.
