Oi people - think before you click!Yesterday I got spammed to hell with messages linking to different variants of this image:
They can have slightly different graphics or contain different links but the message is always basically the same - go to this page and you'll receive 20 000

.
I have to ask the question - how dim do you have to be to fall for it?
Ok let's see - we have an image hosted on a profile that is 1 day old and asks you to visit a website with a strange url with a promise of a financial reward on an another website. How do you even imagine that would work? And now, of course, people start crying that their computers got infected with malware. Which is great - every genius who fell for this obvious phishing scam deserved it. I hope your shitty computer burns and you along with it.
I know this is a no-duh for 90% of people reading it but for the sake of the rest lets revise what we all should know about online phishig. And before you go all:
No, no you can't.

Opinions are a Dangerous thing: Art StylesThis isn't about narking on anyone no, infact this is just my own muses really! You could say this is a journal for ENCOURAGEMENT! *SHINES*
I find sticking to one style restrictive if you are a beginning/moderate artist! (even professionals I might say! though I can't speak for everyone)
Having a distinctive look on how your art is done and produced is understandable and its a desire to appear unique to the point some one can just SEE your work and instantly think 'Oh! that's Ten-days!' or something along the line. However, when you are trying to find who you are and what kind of art you are to produce, I recommend trying, well, a lot of different things! Different styles, mixing styles, different colouring techinque, brushes, tools, shading. Don't feel dependant on what you are already doing and don't feel pressured by people just for trying new things!
Push out of your comfort zone. Can't draw hands? don't avoid it! draw the heck out of them! (how else are you going to learn?)

To enter, fave this journal and comment below that you've faved it. Then I will give you a number.

You don't need to watch me to enter. But please keep in mind that the giveaway ends sooner when
there are more watchers.

Your account must be at least 2 months old.

You can enter once only. No alternate/plz accounts.
I will choose winners with random.org.

Made a video again :P...another fake Parashi Opening: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGa8pPlOxuQ
It's really choppy and suuuuuper scribbly because I took like 30 seconds to draw each frame. Please fill in the gaps and gloss over the art with your wonderful imagination! I made it in Windows Movie Maker which is an absolutely evil program =o=
I'll try to fix up the ugly pictures and maybe add some color when I have time, and reupload another version later :b (don't know when though.) For now feel free to watch this one and laugh at it huhuhu

Sadly I will be alone for this one. Matt had to do a concert he didn't want to do, so I will be live tweeting (humonlazydiva) my impression of the whole shebang.

2012.

Journal Entry: Wed Sep 24, 2008, 10:03 PM

hey everyone.

still quite busy IRL ... a few minutes here and there for my favorite website.

so many things on my mind lately ... big move coming and an extension of my work contract.  But these things are dim in comparison to the thoughts which dominate my mind tonight.

I'm legitimately worried about affairs south of the border in the USA ... world events which will shape the future of mankind are unfolding right this very minute.

I see it all changing .. and I can only pray for the better.  The world my daughter will grow up in will be different than the one I knew.

Remember this: 2012.

I can't explain it but I feel something large on the horizon for mankind.  Something good?  Something bad?  I dunno.

Oh what a mood overcame me as I watched George Bush's frightened eyes on the telly tonight...  He seems to know something he isn't telling.  He seems defeated, like he knows this is just the beginning of something large... and something he can't control.

I was overcome by a strange and unfamiliar emotion tonight.  The need to brace myself for impact while holding on to those I love.

be well my friends...

Skinner

i dunno, how to put my thought on this matter, but ookay.. ill try.

first of all, even on those largely global scale events (or rather their potential probabilites) are in no way set prewritten in any stone/scripture/whatever. tho there surely are those so called singularity points in a continuum, where quite a lot of probable path tend to converge very closely together, but still.. thats _not_ some "100% guarantee" ™ for anything to happen.

as i see it, basically, as the whole weighted sum of thoughts tend to determine the _most_probable_ path, i tend to conclude that its exactly this "fear mongering" effect that has a very strong tendency to create a positive feedback in this "system', if we can use such expressions.

to put it in more accesible form it could be summarisd as: when someone/something comes screaming at you "2012blahbklah, end of the world in no time" you say calmly okay. and.. so what? get on with it, do the RIGHT thing, and just do _not_ succumb to this fear. because thats exactly what they want.

do not hate them tho, just make fun of them in a cute fluffy way

make tea not war.. err.. okay, love too, fo shoo

cheers!

*wb-skinner Oct 12, 2008

lol ... thanks for your thoughts on the matter ... it was an entertaining read

~Mnesomeye Sep 29, 2008

Deep. Really, really deep. Are you feeling suicidal? I have been... really badly actually. And I'm not even affected by the credit crunch at this age.

Maybe it's the sign of the apocolypse.

~thatIam Sep 27, 2008

John, change is inevitable. this world is in Desperate need of 'big' change - and yes that's scary. remember nature, remember the big picture ... remember true power rarely resides in the brawn - the yanks can do as they may, but they are no longer the all powerful big fish in the proverbial pond ...

check out coast2coastadioAM.com they have some very interesting guests on their site with topics about the agendas of the political elite and the general mood of the american public. I just hope our canadian politicians do not jump feet first and join them in their folly. I'm not too impressed with our choices of government here in canada...seems to me politicians are either out to line their own pockets or win the popularity contest...I honestly don't think they are really interested in what is needed by the average person to have a contented life....I don't want riches just contentment... a good and happy life for my family and friends. I will be voting...and doing a lot of letter writing (perhaps e-mailing...they seem to listen to that!)..letting them know exactly how I feel...I figure if I hassel them enough maybe they will begin to listen.

~moonfrogflying Sep 26, 2008 Hobbyist Photographer

Check out coast2coastradioAM.com there are some very interesting guests with some different viewpoints on all this american meltdown...real eye openers...I just hope we are more sensible and don't jump feet first and join the american political elite...

I feel sorry about you :'(

!kimonokraken Sep 26, 2008

What's likely to happen, I'm afraid, is resource depletion causing a decline in production of goods needed to sustain modern civilization. I'm certainly worried about it, because it means a massive die-off of the human population, and it probably will lead to the rise of fascism in western nations as things get desperate.

~saint-miykael Sep 26, 2008

What's going on south of the border...? I didn't hear about anything happening down there.

`Katerina423 Sep 25, 2008 Hobbyist General Artist

Oh Mr Perry.... you're always a ray of sunshine.. so to know the darkness and anxiousness of your mood makes me worry

I know that feeling of impending doom and it's certainly not pleasant. Just remember... sometimes that's just us reflecting our internal struggles onto the world. It's not particularly comforting except to know that perhaps things are more in your control than it originally seems.

As for 2012.. I started reading about this several years ago. My opinion? Perhaps they just decided they had "written" enough of the calendar and needed a break. Perhaps the guy creating it decided it was time for a career change
