Alright, contention one: I haven't exactly followed your stuff much (a shortcoming of mine) and we really, never chat... Ever... But, you know, I don't know why we don't, actually... I never take the time I should to look at all the submission notices, but after i finish typing this, I may go have a look at your gallery to check out your stuff.

Numbah two: do not get yourself down! Think about it, if you hadn't made even the slightest impact on anyone, why would I be talking to you right now? People care. They may not show it but they do. But this may be entirely misguided right now, but there is one point I'm trying to get across: You are good enough. Trust me on this, you are good enough. I'm sorry if I overstep my bounds, but really, if you want to talk, argue, rant, whatever, you can at least have the knowledge that someone is listening, and is right here right now. Do with it as you will. I care.

Thank you, so very, very much ... To be quite honest, your work seems to get lost in the deluge from artists of whom I like their work, but so much of it is pointless junk. I must do the same with your gallery!

Also ... You are very right. It's just that deep down in the night, when it seems that everyone is gone, and you're waiting for one person who you are doing your best for, but not quite enough, you forget some of your mentality, sanity, whatever. By the way, thank you very much ... That's very kind of you, and I would most definitely like to chat with you some, it's been a LONG time!

Yeah, I get the feeling. But you know, it's not all bad, some people take the feeling of needing to achieve perfection and don pretty cool stuff with It, my bro couldn't sleep one night and stayed up all night perfecting a song to play on his guitar. It sounded awesome and he played it with his guitar behind his head at his graduation.

So don't go insane. Use the insanity to come up with really gonzo stuff. And you are right, I hardly ever come out of my cave to talk even online.. Lol..
