You’ve got to have some faith…

Sun Oct 12, 2003, 9:16 AM
WARNING!!! Artistic melodrama below!!! WARNING!!!

Lately I’ve been unknowingly punishing myself. In turn by giving myself this harsh treatment I haven’t been as happy as I could have been. Therefore I apologize like seeming like a total hard-ass for the past month or so.

My problems (only few out of the many, I assure you) really begin with my desires to be a great artist and more importantly not a failure in this society. So I kept pushing, and pushing myself for the wrong reasons. To not misunderstand me, I believe a strong work ethic is a very good thing, and I really feel that one I’ve molded for myself over the past two years happens to be a strong one. However, to be motivated for the wrong reasons will, in my opinion, lead to only shallow achievements and never allow a person to appreciate the true beauty of their own work. That’s what I had been doing to myself, and the reason I had been unknowingly doing so is because I hadn’t given myself enough faith.

Having faith in one’s self is to believe that in the end, one’s existence will be worth something. I doubted myself in this area and it affected my life slightly, yet enough to really piss me off. The main reason I feel some regret is that all the times I was hanging out with my friends or participating in my favorite pass times I always had the mentality that it was a chore that stole me away from my all-so-important art work. For this act of insincerity I apologize to all of those that I may have affected. Now that I feel this way I believe it is time for me to just relax a little and embrace some more free time activities for pleasures and blessings that they really are…

Love, Peace, and Happy Lil’ Dances.

Oi Atolm, thanx for the drop by. Glad to see that some people actually drop by once in a blue moon. However, I'm afraid I haven't been local myself lately. I've been too busy with digital video projects this semester to really be in my normal 2d art swing... hopefully I'll make a strong come back near the end of the month/early December.

Stop what ever you’re doing and forget all that troubles your soul for just a couple of minutes. Now do a foolish dance... doesn't that feel better?

I have dreams of koi.... in my frying pan! hehe Awesome job dude. Now go kick ass in the blizzard contest with your sorceress.
:iconhohoart:
Wow, A thanx for everyone who has been commenting on my work for the past few days... you guys are just great. I think I've had more strangers post comments in this week than the previous two. Perhaps I have some good chicken karma flowing though me or something. ^_^

Also... I'm lazy.

Nice restoration of the old people! Old people are cool. I saw you start the whole thing...the original pic was so wrecked...and you made a gem out of it. Good job.
