Major Depression.
Recurrent Depressive Disorder.
Unipolar Disorder.
It has a lot of names, probably because nobody really understands it. I have it. I have it bad.
What is it?
Well, it's a theory, really. Or, several competing, sometimes conflicting theories. There's the monoamine hypothesis, the biopsychosocial hypothesis, the evolutionary hypothesis, and so on. I can't tell you which, if any of them, is right. Probably none of them, considering how little we know about the brain (not much) and its relation to thought (nothing whatsoever). Also, I don't care which, if any of them, is right, because to me dep
Hi! Fake Kraid here, seeking one or more talented sprite artists for an ambitious project! I am working on a freeware 2D RPG using the Game Maker 8 engine, together with a couple of concept artists and possibly some composers, if I can ever get in contact with them. *throttles all musicians for being so flaky*
Ahem. In any case, I would like to discuss the project with anyone who is willing to help. I am not looking necessarily for a professional-level artist, since I cannot afford to pay you, but I want someone with enough skill to do work that will enhance the game, not detract from it. I am willing to work with more than one spriter
When men first gathered around the fire to sing and tell stories, there were no audiences. Between those who spoke and those who listened there was no clear division. Nothing has changed.
The man who sets brush to canvas or finger to string is no more a creator than he who watches or listens, and by his mind informs what the other forms. Without that activity there would be no art, just as surely as if there were no music or paint, or words.
We gather tonight to remember this unity between creation and interpretation, to remember that 'appreciation' means adding something, to remember that there are no performance artists, because we all

I am needy and attention-seeking and I want you all to validate my existence.
Do it by visiting my new blogblog and saying something.
It's here. Get on it. Chop chop. *claps hands*
That is all.
How does this happen? I went, in what feels like only a few weeks, from being empty and having nothing to having almost more than I can carry. I know I asked for it, but is life capable of even a little bit of moderation and restraint? Or respect for human limitations? I seem strong to some people, but I'm not, really. Not very. Slow down a bit, please.
In less cryptic news, there is more to say than I can reasonably say here in a journal of any length that I can or should expect the two or three people who still likely follow me. I am involved, through a new friend, in a restaurant startup project, and this week will be working devot
Okay, I at least knew this was coming. Probably some of the older folks (ones who remember the Civil Rights era, for instance) saw it coming, too. People rose up against the oppressors, got their message heard, won the hearts and minds of many of the people...
...and then found out that the oppressors just merrily went about their business and ignored them completely. In Egypt, the corrupt generals have basically said they are reducing the Presidency to a figurehead position and retaining all the real power for themselves on the (apparent) cusp of a Muslim Brotherhood victory. In Europe, the willingness of lots of nations to try progress
Thank you so much for taking the time to watch me. I am still developing my skill and style and you have given me some power to continue trying until I am worthy of followers.
