as pathetic as this sounds.
these userpage layouts are great for people like me. this is closest thing to an actual "website" I've ever had. Or ever will have, probably.
I should write something of interest here.
A mountain of a task for someone with little to talk about such as myself. Perhaps I should wax poetic about my love of turtles. Or write a massive story here about some odd event that has occurred to me. Intellectualism, surrealism, and sensationalism all combined into some sort of heartwarming tale of something that will make the imagination dance.
Or perhaps instead I shall type the word banana a few times.

That brings me such pleasure.
I should listen to some music. I've managed to procure myself an MP3 of "The Cat with Two Heads" by the Aquabats. A lovely song. Funny as well. But then, the Aquabats are one of those bands whose music goes hand in hand with comedy anyway. Like ween or TheyMightBeGiants or Mr. Weird Al.
I'm tired of animating for tonight. Well perhaps animating isnt quite the word. "Creating dynamic shots whilst abusing motion tweens" would be a more accurate term. My cheek itches.

It seems like every time someone on this website "hits it big" he or she entirely abandons the website. Its aggravating. Like being a site affiliate means to withdraw yourself from the people. What the hell is with that? I hate that. "Hey I'm famous now, time to sit on my high-horse and talk with nobody"
These "artists" posting on the frontpage. And nothing of value. Just a new way to link to whatever offsite shenanigans or products he or she adheres to to eek out a living. No giving back to the community. Never talking to the other members. Never giving back to the community once he or she hits it big. It's aggravating. Only coming down from their little nests in the sky down to us wee peasants on the ground if some sort of argument regarding his or her work arises. Making one solemn thoughtless post, and then away he or she goes again to disappear into the black confines of the internet. Newgrounds is no longer a place for them to be. Its simply a new way to bring attention to themselves with their droll front page advertisements.
"hey guys check out my new games website"
"hey contest based on my cartoon. the winner gets some cheese wrapped in tin foil"
"hey just checking in. please write 100 posts praising me even though I haven't talked to you all in like 2 years"
"hey guys check out my new product. what? discussing animation? oh heavens no! buy my crap please"
Of course my disgust with this sort of thing might just be mere jealousy. These people do this to make money. And it seems to work. Many of them don't need to have an actual job. They can sit around doing what they love all day. And if it means sacrificing their integrity to their fans by not talking to anyone ever, then I suppose it's justified. If I had the same chances and privileges as they do, I'd do the same thing I suppose. If one could simply animate all day and be paid for it, would one NEED to go to sites like this? To talk to people? To see how old friends are doing? It seems the answer sadly is perhaps not.
I suppose the best I can do is trust myself that should the time ever come (hahaha wishful thinking) that I actually can make some sort of career out of what it is I do, that I wont lose motivation to come here and sample fruits grown by others.
Speaking of fruits....
