I'm still alive.

I haven't visited Newgrounds for a long time because of my other commitments of upkeeping several wikis at Wikia, playing iSketch and practising my writing.

I haven't posted an animation for a long time. I haven't touched Flash for a century; I have loads of ideas for animations (3), but they are either crappy and boring or beyond my skills of drawing / animating / scripting.

The limitations of Flash MX (which I, yes, still use) also deter me from doing anything; I have 1,001 ways to use the blur effects of Flash C3, and everytime I realize I can't, it makes me want to do less flashes. I wish a millionaire would descend from the clouds and give me Flash C3 Professional. Then I'd be happy for a day or two.

Also, most of my Flash work is purely experimental - to see whether I can pull off that animation or drawing or script. They are not meant for Newgrounds as-is, but maybe later in a further, bigger production.

I haven't posted a music track for a long time. This is because I suck at music and have decided to not poison the Audio Portal anymore than what I have already done before someone gets me Reason 3.0 or similiar: another program I want but don't have the spare money to buy them.

I have decided to instead enjoy the greatness of other people's music. There are certain Audio Portal artists I regularly check for updates - I think you know who you are. Outside of Newgrounds, I mainly listen to Ugress, Shadow Of The Beat, Justice, etc.

But I'm now cooking something that I can probably even finish (it's already 30 hours since I started it and I'm still enthusiastic to do it - this is amazing). It won't be über-great, but hopefully it'll do well. At least it'd be something.
