Yes it really has been that long since i last updated my journal, added a deviation, or left anyone a comment. But have no fear for i am back! A lot has happened in that whole last year that i wasn't on DeviantArt: got kicked out of my old school, got a job, got a new school, got a thousand pageviews (thank you by the way to all of you who made it possible, i owe you all a nice picture or something), stayed together with my girlfriend for over a year...etc. It was a fun run though. If i had the chance to go back and not get myself expelled, i wouldn't. I would do it all over again.
Another reason that i haven't been on in a while is because I've turned hardcore gamer. That's all i want to do now. But I've been able to break up my gaming and make a little sumthin' sumthin' just to keep my art skills up...oh and cuz i got CS4 Master collection. Ya I'm bitchin' i know. I submitted something, the first thing from photoshop CS4 last night and in the comment i made a promise to all of you that i would be submitting something for the new year. I will be submitting it right at midnight so all you little ones who have a bedtime still, sorry. You'll have to wait until tomorrow. Then again i don't even think enough people think I'm that good at art so no one will be reading this...meh. Whatever.

Peace.
