WHOA WHOA WHOA
Dude for the last 3 weeks, if i was on the computer, i was either at shiftlimits, newgrounds, or animating flash. (I wasn't on the computer 24/7, mind you, i have a social life :S)
Also, i've been animating since i first downloaded the flash mx tutorial back in '04. Yeah, it's been a while. I didn't get past 0.00001% of the skill i have now until 2 years later, when i actually decided to give a shit about flash. Which was good, because that way i could get better after i already read the tutorial and knew the basics. Also, i have a tablet, which makes it easier for me to animate. And finally, i probably could have made that kind of flash last year (that is, if i had my tablet back then), it's just that that was LITERALLY the ABSOLUTE FIRST TIME i actually put SOME EFFORT into ANY FLASH I'VE EVER MADE.
Whereas i used to play counter-strike, chat on msn, and do loads of other things. I set a goal for myself, and i achieved it. Simple as that. I used to own a clan in counter-strike, and they all looked up to me. But our server had a hardware failure (right at my house LOL), and we eventually died. I still keep in contact with the more loyal members, and they like to laugh at me because i suck ass at the game now. Why? Because i gave it up for flash.
Don't bash yourself, i used to be epic at cs, but now i suck because i wanted to be good in flash. Everybody's epic at something. If flash isn't your thing, then hell, drop it completely (BUT NOT UNTIL THE COLLAB IS FINISHED ASSHOLE), and use the time you saved by dropping flash to work at your best skill. Life is like a fucked up rpg game.... You can powerlvl in one skill/branch and you'll do great in at least one situation... Or you could go and up your stats equally and get fucked from all sides. All you have to do now, is choose your highest skill :/
Yeah, im deep :3
School is getting in the way of everything for me
sucks :C
Anyways, enough about failing at flash and camp
time to respond to teh msgs >:D
Oh and farfen... ur only 13. Dude, you've got time. I'm kinda fucked because in grade 11, school marks count towards university applications... And that basically means, now i'm not going to school to get to the next grade, i'm going to school to make my life :/
I swear this is going to sound supercliche, and i just brushed off all the 18+ year old influences i knew when i was 12 who told me to make the best of my youngness (cousins, uncles etc), but seriously now i knwo why. Man i sound exactly like what i hate myself. Fuck.
I feel like a douchebag for saying that, because it's such a huge contradiction. Blah ladjfalkdjslbadlksjtrfakl;wedjklgabvjdkl fgjakldjsklgfjkldgj kfhjbklwrjadklgr.
Oh well.
Goddammit this is getting a tad long, i'm gonna cut it off here.
Yey, Zedd56 :D
