Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

First off happy salutations, and I hope your new year is starting off right!

Sadly during the holiday season I was brutally raped...
By the ghost of christmas yet to come, It left ectoplasm on my ass, now I think I'm going to need an aboooortion.

Ha Ha, that joke is so fucking boss if you play it straight when you're having dinner with someone on a date, I guarantee the table will go silent before you drop the punchline. When you do give off the punchline it's pure awesome, unless the person you are with was actually raped in which case the joke will make you look like an awful person, and your date will be ruined; at the very least it will be a memorable incident!

Life has been getting pretty awesome as of late, I got a new home office, and it's swag, I have a giant ceramic shark adorning my desk, and a liquor cabinet filled with J.W. gold label, among other assorted whiskey's, wine, and rum.

Plus I also have a private full washroom, and a sexy modern fireplace in my room, perfect for a entertaining, and having amorous company over :)

What this all means in terms of my artistic projects is because I'm in a more relaxed, and private environment, I will have more time to devote to my art instead of dealing with all the bullshit I needed to deal with at my last residence.

I'm looking to devote at least two, nine hour days a week to animating, I think at this pace I should be able to complete "A Twisted Transparency" by my self imposed deadline.

After that I still intend to retire from animating, primarily because I want to devote more time to my personal relationships, especially with this quixotic woman I hold close to my heart. Regardless I'll always be involved with art, and newgrounds in some capacity, so those few of you that find value in my work need not worry, I'll be around.

After "A Twisted Transparency" is complete, I plan to work on a semi autobiographical comic titled "Cancer", I will be doing this as a way to vex out some inner demons, and keep busy in my spare time. I don't know if I will be releasing it to newgrounds, or whether it's going to be exclusive to my website, but it wont have a set release schedule, because I'll be taking a more leisured approach with that project, compared to my other stuff...

Lastly I just want to end this post with some advice for artists (or actually anyone really), I've had my ups and downs pursuing my dreams, but despite the bad I've always felt following what I wanted to do was important.

In my circle of friends everyone knows I always date the pretty girls, generally win out in business affairs, and am pretty happy.

Realistically though, most of the women I've ask out don't say yes instantly (sometimes not at all), business wise I work my ass off, and in terms of my happiness I'm just thankful for the shit I have; since I'm sure everyone thought I would end up dead or giving dollar blowjobs under a bridge.

The reason I'm successful is because I'm willing to try, If you don't try to achieve your goals, then you're always gonna lose out. I'm terrified of dying, because I love being alive, but what has always scared me even more than dying, is being on my death bed and saying "shit I wish I could have done things differently"...

So aim high, cause even if you fail at least you wont need to live with the burden of wondering "what if?".

Looking back on this last year I feel I missed out on a lot of things I could have done, so my new years resolution for this year will be to be more productive, and less of a cunt.

Lots of love,
