yes i did use photoshop. i used a few grunge brushes and then some random other ones i also have.

personally, i just buy what feels better. if i see a shoe i like, i try it on to see how it fits. out of the two, i usually end up with adidas, but i have bought some nike shoes too. a couple weeks ago i had to buy two pairs of shoes, one for just wearing everyday, and another for something else. one of the pairs is adidas, the other is nike. they are both good brands.

i havnt really made any banners before but i quickly made an attempt. wasnt really sure what you wanted. try to provide more information next time. non-animated animated if you do use one of these, do not copy the image location. save it and host it at your own site then put it up. also, if you want any changes, just tell me and ill see what i can do.

bad drivers are too often a common thing on the road. sometimes you just have to wonder how in the world they got their drivers license. in your situation, i dont mean to be mean, but i think it was partially your fault. when you are driving, it is safest to travel with the flow of traffic. and because most people drive a little over the speed limit, i dont think it would be good to go 10-15 kph (im used to mph, is that like 5-10mph?) under. this is because if you are going too fast or too slow, other people are going to have to change lanes or do other actions that they wouldnt do if everyone was going the same speed. this causes an increased risk of an accident happening. just my advice. i know you said empty streets but its still best to stay at the speed limit incase people like that come by you. i do not think they would react as harshly as that driver did. but i do think that the driver who then went down to 50kph was really doing the wrong thing. people like that who cant control their anger should have their license revoked.

and copy pasting something is spamming and cheating the credit system. do not just copy/paste something as daman has just done.

i do think "aliens" do exist. in this i mean some other form of life at another planet or part of the universe. i do not believe in little green men or monsters flying around earth in their spaceships. unless some major proof comes along, i dont think im gunna believe in all those people who claim to see things flying around the sky and say they have been abducted.

looks pretty good. what program did you use to make it? c4d? 3dsm? i once tried to make some 3d things. all i can tell you is that i didnt get very far...

sorry to hear about your brother. its really a sad thing to see so many people ruining their lives with drugs. something might happen that could cause you to become really depressed and cause you to take drugs, but its very important to think about your future. tough times will pass and things will improve if you try to make it improve. using drugs will get you absolutely no where in life. hopefully your brother will realize his problem and work to improve his situation. hope it turns out ok

it does look better on your site with the black background. it looks pretty good but i think it is a bit too blurry.

they look pretty much the same to me. i dont really like the colors but the effect is ok. and in the last one, the text does not look that great in my opinion. it doesnt blend with the background.

i have a very similar problem. my neighbors who live behind me also have a dog, a beagle, that barks and howls like crazy. they used to just let it out and leave it outside for what seemed like the longest time. the dog would stand at their door just howling for like half an hour. this kind of scenario just kept reoccuring until my dad called the police on them. it was kind of funny when he called because as he was on the phone, the dog was barking and the policeman could hear the dog over the phone. i think they got a warning or something but they have made a bit more of an effort to get the dog in when it wants to. the dog is still left out there a bit too long occasionally but it is nothing like it used to be.

1. If the internet went down.well this has happened to me. hasnt in a while but something got messed up with my isp. nothing worked. i did mostly what i did before. if the weather is nice, id go out somewhere. maybe go see a movie, play some sports, or just meet up with some friends.2. If Phones and all communication went down.Well, if the person was close enough, i would just drive there. If not, i guess i would just use regular mail, unless that went down too.3.If all of the above happened...Well it wouldnt be that bad. Back in the day people had no internet and no cell phones or regular phones. its not like it would be the end of the world... well for some people may be... but not me.

well, most of the time i use a real mouse. it works really nice but it smells a bit. but when im not using that i use a logitech wireless mouse. it is so much nicer than using a mouse with wires (i think i have a problem with wires...). i got it in a package and it came with a keyboard. i recommend wireless. even if your keyboard and mouse just stay right at your desk, i still recommend wireless. i have had no problems and it has given me less hassle.

definetely a wierd topic. i would not destroy the earth. i like it here. no need to get rid of a good thing.

wow. it might be something special to hard core coin collectors but that is a whole lot of money for just a dime. even if i had the money, there is no way i would spend over one million dollars just so i can have a coin to look at. there are so many other ways that that kind of money could be put towards better use.

thats pretty nice. good job. maybe add a little color with color balance or hue & saturation

this is one game i will actually get. but there has been no release date. all i have seen is that it will be the first fiscal period of 2006, which is march to june i think. but most likely it would be june. if you have a link showing the release please show me.but anyways, this game looks like it is gunna be awesome. the graphics look sweet and gameplay looks awesome too.

well this is surely in the wrong forum. and also, if you actually did look in the internet section, there are already threads about this topic with lots of responses. this is more like spam. if you want to see what people think go here: firefox vs IE

for tutorials you can try here: pixel2life this website has a lot of good tutorials for a number of different programs including imageready. so check it out

well gmail invites have been out forever it seems. Instead of asking people for them, there are some sites that allow you to just sign up for one. one of these sites is this site. you can either donate your invites to share with others or you can sign up for your own. so if you dont really feel like asking people for invites, you can just sign up there. i have not tried this site because i already have gmail, but i have heard from some people who have gotten gmail this way. im sure if you search on google, it would be easy to find some sites more like this.

well i think ill just have to agree with whats been said. i have the same opinion.

i hate those kind of ads so much. theres also one with camera noises that gets really annoying. it is specially annoying when you are listening to music and all the sudden you get some stupid fly ad making a ton of noise.

Two weeks ago I went to the Chicago Auto Show to look at all the cars. In the Pontiac show area i signed up for some more info about the gto. yesterday the stuff they sent arrived and in it they gave me some info about the car and a free movie, the Last Ride. Has anyone heard of or seen this movie? I will probably watch it tomorrow but i was just wondering if anyone knows how it is. it says it is from the directors of the Fast and the Furious so im hoping it will be good.

i am also downloading it now. hope it will be fun.

i have been using roxio easy cd creator. i have never tried Nero before so i do not really know how that works. but with my experience, i have not had any problems at all with the roxio software. i only have version 5 and i do not make a lot of cds. but it has worked perfectly for me so far.
