Hi everyone! We haven't spoken since Billy Mays died.

My newgrounds turnout this year has been embarrassing. I've submitted a grand total of 1 flash cartoons this year, and 0 of them were good. I've had so much shitty schoolwork to do I've had practically no time for anything else.

What little time I have had to work in flash, I've been devoting to this commission thing for St. Joe's Hospital. They had made me make some Fire Safety animation for $800. Sounds nice right?

Well I've come to find out from my boss (I work at an animation studio), that I probably could have charged them upwards of $2000. So I didn't just get ripped off, I got raped to death. And the rapist had every known STD. Even the ones that only girls can get.

I had a fantastic idea for a Halloween submission this year. I couldn't wait to get started. It was a sequel to Gone Too Far that would have put the first one to shame (not an overly difficult feat, since I'm not really too proud of it). But because of the workload, I never started it.

I really could have used the money from the Halloween contest too... hopefully I can make it for next year.

A submission to the Winter Flash-Off from me this year looks unlikely. I don't envision the workload getting lighter in time to make any progress on it. (I made last year's Christmas flash in 2 weeks, but it was a pretty exhausting experience that I don't hope to relive.)

At this point, the next thing I'm going to be submitting is Flash Dancer 2. I know I've been promising that since Summer 20-fucking-08, but that's really all I've got on my plate right now.
It's gonna be great, I stand by that. It's the best animation I've ever done. But I won't even tell you how much I've got left...

I don't care if you don't care, I just felt I was doing a disservice by not posting anything since fucking June... a disservice to all 2 of my fans.

Man, the mood of this post is shitty and depressing. Here, this makes it all better:

Yknow what? I'm just gonna post something.

FUCK YOU

well that settles it. you and i will have to fornicate.

I love you man. Gl with your stuff

You know this all sounded good and well, but now thanks to that picture I'm probably gonna have nightmares about this post. Shit.

Anyway, I have confidence in you, so best of luck with your works and I'll be looking forward to future ones!

MY GOD! THAT'S AWFUL!
YOU'RE DOG'S LEG IS GONE!
And the damn insurance company would only pay for the toilet paper roll.
DAMN THEM.

damn uh.. i meant to hit "respond" to your last comment, but i wasn't thinking and accidentally hit "delete".... im real sorry about that. sincerely. whoops.

No problem. I'll just repost it.

You know, I just watched your most recent video, and I thought it was great. You shouldn't give yourself so much shit.

PS. -I'm sorry if I was spazzy and annoying back in the day.

Except, before you delete the comment, it says "Are you sure you want to delete this comment? There's no going back.". So, I don't know if you're fucking with me or not, but whatever.

I just realized that I was being a pussy in my last comment.
I retract my statements.

nah, i really was just being utterly retarded. it asked me if i was sure and my mind still hadnt started working until i hit "duuuhh, okay." then as soon as it disappeared i was like... "wait... aw shit"

You NEED to submit something soon. Your animation skills are too good for you not to be animating on a daily basis. $800!? Damn dude, you did get ripped off if it was a full on video.

- One of your 2 fans

Ha, thanks man. Live and learn, I guess, eh?
