Oi people - think before you click!Yesterday I got spammed to hell with messages linking to different variants of this image:
They can have slightly different graphics or contain different links but the message is always basically the same - go to this page and you'll receive 20 000:points: .
I have to ask the question - how dim do you have to be to fall for it?
Ok let's see - we have an image hosted on a profile that is 1 day old and asks you to visit a website with a strange url with a promise of a financial reward on an another website. How do you even imagine  that would work? And now, of course, people start crying that their computers got infected with malware. Which is great - every genius who fell for this obvious phishing scam  deserved it. I hope your shitty computer burns and you along with it.
I know this is a no-duh for 90% of people reading it but for the sake of the rest lets revise what we all should know about online phishig. And before you go all:
No, no you can't.

Opinions are a Dangerous thing: Art StylesThis isn't about narking on anyone no, infact this is just my own muses really! You could say this is a journal for ENCOURAGEMENT! *SHINES*
I find sticking to one style restrictive if you are a beginning/moderate artist! (even professionals I might say! though I can't speak for everyone)
Having a distinctive look on how your art is done and produced is understandable and its a desire to appear unique to the point some one can just SEE your work and instantly think 'Oh! that's Ten-days!' or something along the line. However, when you are trying to find who you are and what kind of art you are to produce, I recommend trying, well, a lot of different things! Different styles, mixing styles, different colouring techinque, brushes, tools, shading. Don't feel dependant on what you are already doing and don't feel pressured by people just for trying new things!
Push out of your comfort zone. Can't draw hands? don't avoid it! draw the heck out of them! (how else are you going to learn?)

Made a video again :P...another fake Parashi Opening: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGa8pPlOxuQ
It's really choppy and suuuuuper scribbly because I took like 30 seconds to draw each frame. Please fill in the gaps and gloss over the art with your wonderful imagination! I made it in Windows Movie Maker which is an absolutely evil program =o=
I'll try to fix up the ugly pictures and maybe add some color when I have time, and reupload another version later :b (don't know when though.) For now feel free to watch this one and laugh at it huhuhu

Nintendo STEALS Money!Since this has been going around lately, I should probably give my two cents. Basically what it amounts to is that Nintendo has filed Content ID info of their games with YouTube. What this means is that if you upload gameplay video of a Nintendo game, YouTube will automatically monetize that video, put ads on it, a link to where to buy the game, and take the money generated from that video and give it directly to Nintendo. People who do "let's play" videos are, naturally, pissed off because they want to be earning money off their videos, so they're calling Nintendo "thieves" for doing this.
I can see both sides to the story. I can see Nintendo as a corporation wanting to exercise control over their properties. On the other hand, "let's play" videos can often help new gamers find games they otherwise wouldn't have tried.
But here's the thing: Nintendo isn't the first company do this. Both Microsoft and Ubisoft do it already. YouTube has also had a long history of having music videos and

Ugh.

:iconmarkirwin:

A friend of mine wrote this, and dammit, I agree. So tired of the b.s. Just go away GOP, please?

'I just don't think the President has the personality for the combative realities of government/politics in the US. These people despise him, will do anything to get him out of office (including holding the economy hostage with the intent of keeping things bad until the election) yet he continues to think he can work with them? He could have made raising the debt ceiling a condition for extending the Bush tax cuts last winter but showed good faith and I don't know why.

Two thirds of the country think a mix of tax increases and spending cuts are the way to go, he should be hammering the right on this, he's got public opinion and basic fairness on his side."

It seems everybody knows what needs to be down as far as cutting government salaries and limiting the years a politician can serve and getting rid of lobbyists and alot of other things. But it seems those in power would hate to see that day come. So they want to continue to lie, cheat, and steal to keep the gravy train running along.

I say let the GOP gut medicare, medicaid, social security and then watch the revolution begin. :lol:

Well, I don't claim to know better, but just wish the two parties would spend time to work on the issues, instead of fighting each other.

How would you determine that commission?

It was more or less tongue in cheek, but if we could minimize all the bureaucracy and 'back scratching' stuff that goes on in Washington (as well as state/local governments) with a more incentive layden approach I think we'd be a little better off. Government officials should operate on a more volunteer basis and not recieve direct compensation for bills and regulations that they pass or the grants they misuse/waste money on..........but I'm sure this will not be corrected...not in our lifetime. Unless, of course, everyone grabs their pitchforks and torches! ;)

There needs to be a third party that is as strong as the other two. At least. More if possible. Anything but a two party system that allows for party line votes to deadlock the government. No lobbyists either. And limited terms of office. No one in congress should be allowed to serve more than two, or maybe three, terms. Being able to make politics a career is a huge part of the problem. It's public service. The people in office should come from real life, do their bit and get something for it, then go back to those lives they came from.

My hope is that the GOP is fracture. If it were to split into two, and if some moderate democrats were to join the new moderate Republicans, we'd end up with the three parties we need. A right, a left, a moderate middle, and always someone to break the tie.

I wonder if the people in office have any REAL idea just how much the American public has grown to hate them. It really feels like it's at an all-time high. Maybe not for all of our history, but certainly in our lifetimes and possibly our parents. Maybe more.

Oh - the other worst culprit in all of this: the news media. I'm as sick of them as I am the politicians themselves.
