I was just listening to "Way Back Home" and missing MD.
Old Bay seasoning on everything.
Steamed blue crab.
BWI filling up the skies.
The National Aquarium.
Fort McHenry.
The Chesapeake.
The USS Constellation.
Baltimore.
Columbia.
Rockville.
Olney.
Washington DC.
Then I hear about Hurricane Sandy. More memories. Where I lived, we were always on the edge of every single tropical storm. I remember sitting on the front porch with the power out, watching the roads slowly fill with water and become rivers and canals. The ditch at the end of the front lawn would become a stream about three feet deep. The water would cave in at the storm drain loud enough to make Niagara Falls jealous. Maybe it was because I was a child, but in spite of all the danger, it was the most beautiful thing in the world, having my neighborhood transformed like that. Granted, the rain would get so thick you could barely see ten feet in front of you, but I'd try and go outside and explore, much to my parents' horror. Some of the happiest experiences of my childhood were when I was out alone in a thunderstorm, shooting hoops in the culdesac, ignoring all my neighbors yelling at me to go inside. The splash of the ball as it hit the ground, the icy stabs of each rain drop, the dead weight of clothes that had soaked through...I loved it all.
Crap. This was supposed to be wishing luck to everyone on the east coast. (East coast represent!) Sorry about that tangent.
Stay safe, comrades. Keep my homeland alive for me.

Still Not Dead
Also Kojima has severely disappointed me.
College isn't for Everyone
I've heard that sentence time and time again.
I used to think of it as a challenge. I used to think that it meant that some people aren't good enough for college.
I couldn't have been more incorrect.
College isn't for everyone. Some people can't handle it, sure, but others don't need it. I learned that the hard way these past three years. I remember having this whole list of things that I promised myself that I'd learn in school. I was going to get better at photometric lighting, radiosity, quicksilver rendering, recording mocap...the list goes on and on. These are all things relevant to my career
Hiatus OVER
Alright! Quite a bit has happened in the past few months, but mostly in the tier of personal drama. I won't waste your time with that.
I was at a school in which this site is blocked, so I had no access for a few months. (They claim it's for pornography, but furaffinity and tumblr were perfectly accessable.)
Anyhow, I go to my inbox thinking that it's only been a short while since I've gone through it and holy crap was I wrong.
Anyway, point is, I'm back. Don't worry, I'm not going back to that school, so you can expect to see me on more often for time to come...unless my incompetence proves otherwise. :P
Currently, I'm working on an
I am Alive!
Uh...yeah...Sorry about that unexpected hiatus. Apparently Deviantart is blocked on campus at school...and I lived on campus for the past three months. Yeah. Sorry for that lack of updates.
But I'm back! Permanently! (Hopefully)
I got some artwork done over the semester, but not as much as I'd like. I'll upload it in the next few days.
