I haven't been back here in forever. 731 Deviations, 566 Messages. Sorry I can't look at them all, but I'll endeavour to look at as many as I can. The reason I've been so absent is not so much that I can't be bothered with dA anymore as it is that there's far too many distractions in my life such as Xbox 360, LAN parties, music, alcohol, cigarettes, coffee, going to the city to buy vinyl records and coming back broke, staying up all night and sleeping all day and that sort of thing. dA is something that I come back to every so often to share my latest creation - and it's not often that I have the time or motivation to sit down and think for ages so that I can begin to write, or draw, or pixellate something that I feel worthy of showing to the world, but it is something that I'd like to do more often. There's an incredible sense of accomplishment and relief when I can actually finish an artwork that I deem acceptable to post here. Accomplishment because I feel it's a finished, polished piece that people can look at, read and appreciate or hate; whether or not they like it or can relate to it is unimportant - it's only important that they take time to read it and think. And relief because I put a lot of myself into my work when I create, because that gives the work meaning to me. I try to feel the emotions in the piece and sometimes that ends up taxing on me but that is the reason that it's easier for me to write than draw, because I find it harder to put meaning into a drawing, and if there's no meaning in it then what's the point of it? To look pretty isn't a bad goal, but it's not one that I find good enough to spend time on. This also means though, that I can't write for the sake of writing; instead I have to feel like it, and that's why I don't post 'deviations' here as often as other people might.

And there it is, the reason I don't come here often. Because I often don't have anything to say or post, and because it's always the same. But I'll try to write more often. I hope this journal didn't come off as trite or arrogant. See you around.

Go here!!!
