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?)

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

I've been dreading this day...

Journal Entry: Wed Dec 3, 2008, 7:01 PM

I usually don't bother you nice folks in internet land with my troubles, but I'm gunna let you in on a little something that happened to me that I felt the need to rant about it like the Deviantspace whore that I am. So if you wanna read a not very entertaining story abut laugh heartily at my misfortunes, then I introduce to you:

Sheepi's Storytime.
So I finally got round to going off and going to sit my drivers license, because I'm the king of Procrastinating I really should have done it months ago. Anyway, I fill out the form and smile nicely to the lady at the desk, and she goes "now you gots to do an eye exam Mr.Sheeps", so I'm all like "This'll be easy!" cos I love to show everyone just how good my young hawklike eyes are.

She whips out the big chart, and she goes "read the 4th column please"
So I'm standing there like a moron waiting for these letters to come into focus... but they're totally not coming into focus. Now this wasn't just a little measly fail, this was epic, I couldn't even read the big letters at the top, ya'know, the really easy ones you look at and think "how the hell could anyone not get them".
Well now you know, I couldn't get them.

So driving receptionist lady points me off to the Optometrist man, and he runs his tests, and he "Um's" and "Ah's" and tries his best not to laugh at my failure to distinguish the difference between a red and a green circle, and in the end he slaps me with this $600 pair of glasses that I've been desperately trying to avoid for my entire life.
I've always prided myself in holding my ground and never being quite near enough to the edge to fall into that great sea of nerdiness; but the big man in the sky just did the assholish thing and stabbed my eyes with the divine forks of injustice and gave me a nice little push right in there.

lesigh...

Long story short: My eyes are absolutely fucked, Dr Optometrist reckoned that in about 6 months I wouldn't have any near vision at all, so in 3-5 working days I'll have myself a nice new pair of Glasses >.<.

Journals / Personal

~DBjet Dec 4, 2008

same exact thing happened to me last year.

i need glasses to see the far away stuff. in detail anyways.

but my mom has the same problem. so we just went to the eye doctor and got some glasses.
no license thingamobober.

~xSheepi Dec 7, 2008

I think that's the same problem as I'm having, I just hadn't noticed any sort of deterioration in my vision up until I went to sit the driving exam.
I've got a family history in it as well so mum wasn't too pissed off about it, she said it was only a matter of time before one of us kids showed signs of having vision troubles.

~Jirbytaylor Dec 4, 2008

So you're long sighted? I'm sure that means you don't need to wear glasses when driving.

Glasses are stylish! You should be happy! ... just don't get thick framed ones. (I got frameless ones! :D)

My eyes are pretty bad too, but I'm short sighted so I would need them when driving... if I ever drive. >>;

~xSheepi Dec 4, 2008

I'm kinda not sure whether the problem is short or long vision, Family history points to me being shortsighted, but all I know for sure is that I can't read those eye charts! I seem to be able to read everything else perfectly well...

which is I guess, where I got kinda frustrated with the whole scenario, I just don't see them as being necessary

.

haha I picked out the smallest most frameless ones they had too xD. The real moral of the story is just don't drive, it's nothing but trouble!!

~Requiem-the-Quiffhog Dec 4, 2008 Photographer

Hey, glasses aren't that bad.

I wear them myself, though not being a "cool" person, I probably would be the last person for advice, heheh. ^^

~xSheepi Dec 4, 2008

I'm not so bummed about having the glasses... but more about needing them. I've just come off 3 years of having braces so I'm used to having irregular accessories; after nearly 19 of near perfect vision, I'm just kinda ripped about my eyes suddenly packing up and running off on me all at once

~Requiem-the-Quiffhog Dec 5, 2008 Photographer

I was the same, I had to start wearing them at a similar age too. But yeah, it's a bummer when body parts give up. :/

~JRJay Dec 4, 2008

Haha, join the club. Congratulations, you just gained a great new accessory!

If you really had a complicated diagnosis it is a good idea to get a second opinion somewhere else. Just saying, gotta take good care of yourself.

Have fun gazing into that crisp, sharp horizon.

~xSheepi Dec 4, 2008

haha I guess I could always paint them red and paste some pretty flower stickers or something on there to Pimp them out xDDD

ahh but the problem with a second diagnosis is that the next available spot is about 2 weeks after Christmas, I was incredibly lucky to get into this spot just yesterday

... that, and I've already paid for the glasses to be made xD!

Thanks man, I certainly will

*michielynn Dec 4, 2008

I have a similar story actually.

But my eyes aren't that bad. I can't see very far away. Like words, where I used to have perfect 20x20 vision. :[ I didn't care for them until I lost them...... And it bugged me. My mom ordered me another pair, actually.... I'll have them by Christmas.

My little sister (lol) has the same story as you. She has horrible vision and has been avoiding it because she thinks glasses are too nerdy. (Her caring dramatically what she looks like and what people think of her...) So now shes absolutely stuck with them since my mom knows how horrible her eyes are. :[

(She actually got the same pair I did....)

Haha, and it appears you've gotten plenty of other people with stories to share.
