jacent challenges you.. in fact I'm daring you. Jacent craves commissions.. FEED HIM!! Unload your requests and money on him. I dare you.. I triple dog dare you! Now go! Onward everyone!!_____________
Because I'm a total douche bag and totally forgot the person who walked two people in front of me.
astrozerk04 who worked as an animator on As Seen On Tv alongside me and who had been one of my best friends ALL throughout my college career. I felt so bad not mentioning her in my last journal I felt I had to mention her here.Not to mention my best bud,
vincentwolfe who has been there for me through thick and think regardless the situation. Seriously, no one could ask for a better friend.. so he did even better. Go figure... eh?I'm still trying to wrap my brain around it. This whole idea of no school, that one constant in my life that has just seemed to always be there. I mean back in 04 when I graduated highschool I drove to Atlanta and started school 2 weeks later. So it's like it's never actually stopped. But now it's not there. Now the rest is really up to me.
To be honest I wish to really maintain or even nurture the passion I have for what I want to do in the animation industry. While I've been able to really practice it here, I really want to grow and expand. I mean that's the whole point of me doing this. It's not about the money, becoming famous, popular etc... I want to grow and I don't want to stop growing. I never want to stop improving and I want to keep working with artists around me...
I could really keep going on about this but really it'd be redundant.

So I saw that book that seemed to be that hot button a few months back. That "Furverts" book. I really don't see anything particularly threatening. If only for a few reasons.
1) In reality, most of the suits I've seen at cons ( much less at football games and the like) are so much more innovative and higher quality. There's so much imagination, character and passion that people like
jill0r and
latinvixen really put into those suits. The stuff I saw looked like middle school mascot rejects. All I see this book in particular is reflecting the person who wrote it and his own ignorance.2) In reality yes there are people that do this. But it's behind closed doors. What does it matter? What are you worried about? Unless you're one of those douche bags that goes out in a pride parade in fursuit baring your genetals and start humping other equally fluffy cohorts then really I wouldn't be worried about it.
What you do behind the door and in the privacy of your own bedroom is your business. No one has the right to really bust your chops being there are so many MANY other fetishes outside of this minuscule fandom. As I have made a point of saying before: unless you're the kind that makes a point of making sure that everyone knows what you do behind closed doors, then you have nothing to be ashamed of do you?
FA+

And I can never understand why they don't use higher quality suits for stuff like that. It's either the people with said suits don't want to get involved, or they're too cheap to get some themselves.
I hope you got your monies worth outta that school and reach your goals. God knows I didn't.
