And karnivore. I really miss him too. I hate it when people leave and don't let us know how they are doing.

Ryoko, did you mean me? I didn't change to avoid a landmark this time at all! I just like this name. The full explanation for why I took this name may be found here, if you're interested.

Yeah, the 666 was purely coincidental! But it's cool! I wonder who will get 6666? 666 belongs to someone named ldfahrni who only has one post.

A> WORKING - I got a full time job as a bookseller for a major bookstore chain. As far as Jobby-Jobs go, I love it. Sure, it's got some of the hassles and drag downs that go along with retail, but it's books and the people I work with are nice, sweet, cool and awesome (and it doesn't hurt that they all find me charming, smart, funny and always in a good mood).
B> STUDYING - I've been jammin' man on Photoshop and Html and attempting to draw horses. I'm doing quite well, but I'm a bit pissed of that in my new "page 2" I've got three rollover images, that needed about twelve layers in Imageready so I've got to down grade to like a 8% quality to get it under 60k. Which sucks because there is a lot of downgrade in my super cool image, looking to solve this problem, also, how one earth to I freeze the frame so that people cannot grow their browser window bigger than the original frame?
C> OUT AND ABOUT Now that I've got paychecks rolling in again, I'm going out in the spirit of the Great Viking.
So why haven't I posted much?
I've reached a point of peace.
There are 6 billion people on Earth and 250 million people in America.
They are going to do what they are going to do, and right now I don't have much influence over them at all, so I've kept my voice pretty low.
I mean really, if 56% of Americans want to go to sleep thinking that George W. Bush is a great president and a visionary leader. It's their right. I cannot convince them other wise at this point, even though the facts point to Bush being lousy, crappy and cruddy at the job of President of the United States.
George W. Bush is PROOF that the Corporations of the World now OWN us and our government.
Did you know that in the last 2 1/2 years since Bush #2 has been president that the top 10 Billionares have all grown in wealth at least an extra %17?
...but the american jesus loves a Billionare more than he loves Children, so I will wait, train, prepare and ready myself for when then fake american jesus is overthrown and the True King of Kings returns to the throne of the American mind.
I love you guys.
<T>
PS. I've recommended and sold many copies of Ender's Game to customers.

Way to go!!!! Congrat's on the job, good luck on the art project and stay in shape for the big she-bang. The NY Times just did a front page piece on the growing disparity between rich and poor and how many children are living in poverty.
"Suffer the little ones", hmmmm?
