Is anyone on this board an activist? What do you do to try to help people? just want to have a discussion because I'm going to be one when I'm older (along with having another job), and activism is coolness. eh, eh?

OK, step one: Don't let your kids watch TV. It's sucks and it brainwashes people, see homie? THE END.

yeah, um, that doesn't really make any sense. how are making graphics not a waste of time and reading is? Reading is part of life and teaches you things, just like anything else.

it looks pretty cool. the middle looks like an explosion, you see what i'm saying homie?

neither. they both stuff tons of addicting chemicals in their food, at least pizza hut does. I try to eat at local pizzerias. They taste better anyway.

yeah school usually does suck. but try to enjoy art, even if you do have a bad teacher.

hey homie, those are really cool. IMG_1417 looks almost surreal! :-)

good and evil aren't actually real, in my opinion at least. they are just labels people put on stuff, even though everythings not just black and white, you see what i'm saying, homie?

whoa cool. people should post more photography here, i likes this. Isn't infrared photography when you take a picture during night to make it look like day when people make films,so it has a mysterious feeling, or something like that? yeah i probably don't know what i'm talking about. good luck!

What you do is you go outside an' look at nature for a while, then you're inspired. meditation helps calm you down if you're frustrated, even though meditation isn't supposed to be used selfishly. also, reading a good book inspires me a lot.

the site design is great. It's simple and doesn't distract you fromt what your reading. you know what i mean homie?

Should I make a new paragraph whenever some new new talks, even when the grandmother is reminincing in quotations? Here's the story I'm reffering to. Maybe my question would make more sense then. GOOD STORIES OF A FAKE GRANDMA: ?Do you remember that story you told me the other day?? said the young adult sitting across from his grandma. ?Yeah.? ?Do you have anymore?? ?Oh, not right now. I?m working on this.? The boy kept nagging his grandma until she finally agreed to tell a story. ?OK. But this one got to be fast. Which one do you want to hear?? ?I dunno. Which ones do you have?? ?I?ll tell you the one about the time me an Angie got a job.? ?OK.? ?Alright, around this time me and Angie were both ten. Actually, no, now that I think about it, we couldn?t have been both ten, because one of us was different ages, or one of us was younger or something. Angie was 9??..and I was ten. Yes.? ?Mm hm.? ?So me and Angie was walking down 8th Street, and we was looking for a job, right. Angie was the one who needed the money, though, I was just doin? it so I?d have something to do. An? me and Angie walks in and the guy standing across the counter turns around and says hi. I remember he had a gray suit with a new white fedora. A gangster, if you ask me!? ?Yeha,yeha...? ?And Angie pipes up, ?Hey mister, you have any more of the jobs?? He smiled, revealing his crooked an chipped yellow teeth. An he said, ?JOBS? YOU WANT THEM?? And Angie says , ?Yeeppp.? And he replied, ?YOU GOT THEM.? We both nodded. So he leads us into the back-room and hands us a gray moldy washcloth, and points to the plates in the corner. An? then he just shut the door on us! So, for, you know, a couple of hours, we just washed and dried plates in silence.? ?Was it fun?? ?Nooopppeeeeeeee. No, it wasn?t. So then the chubby guy with the fedora swings the door open and tells us we got some customers. And I say to him, ?Customers?! I thought we were just washing the dishes! Where Is the money?!? I was mad, you know. ?You?ll get the money next week, KIDS. That?s how business works. Now put down the washcloths, and come out here,? he said it nicely, but we knew he didn?t know his *bottom* from his elbow.? ?Heh heh.? ?So me and Angie both walk out there and take over his counter. And off he goes! He just slips on his jacket and waves goodbye! We didn?t know what the hell we were doing, you know? And there weren?t even any customers, too. Liar.? ?Yeauh.? ?So me an? Angie just sit there, until this Negro walks in and asks for a meal.? ?Racist.? ?Oh you, that?s what they called them in those days.? ?Them?? ?Me and Angie just say it?ll be ready soon but we don?t know what we?re doin, you know. I tell Angie it?s her turn to make the food, so I just sit at the counter and pick through the guy?s drawer for anything interesting.? ?Did you find anything?? ?Nope. Finally, Angie comes through the door with this horrible looking dish with green beans and potatoes. And she hands it to the man and takes off into the back-room.? So it?s just me and this guy. And we just stare at each other for a long time, until he gets up and hands me a couple of coins. ?This is yer tip,? he says. ?I?m not paying for this food. Say, don?t you kids haves a manager or something?? I tell him we do but he left for the day. He shrugged and left. This kind of thing went on for days, you know. We didn?t even take no break and go home. Usually, customers came in every two hours so I just slept during the two hour interval. Then every weekend or so we would put up a sign saying we were closed and go home. That chubby man with the fedora never came back, too.? ?Really?? ?Yup. We owned the store for about two years and gave up when we weren?t breaking even no more.? ?Wow.? ?OK, you had a story, now go to sleep. And don?t forget to shut the lights off on the deck.?

just send me it and i'll do it for you. :-P unless you want to learn yourself. peter@suburbanalcuts.com

hmmm. yeah that'll probably look pretty good. thanks!

well, if everyone becomes enlightened in the future then there probably would be no crimes but that's going to take a while. Anyway, to lessen the amount of crimes you can: a. giving people a good education (build more schools instead of more prisons), a good enviroment, good jobs, etc by stopping corruption and putting more restrictions on corporations... b. getting rid of racism. c. teach people at a young age compassion, etc. instead of shoving them near a TV and giving them tons of videogames. d. Give your money to good small companies so that it doesn't go into the hands of people like George Dubya Bush. This would do more than voting because the voting system is already corrupted. This way, giant corporations like Wal-mart and Gap would lose power and we would have a fair society where the president doesn't commit crimes like lessening people's freedom of speech, killing innocent iraqies, etc...

heh heh. thanks.

Johnny Cash! come on homie, the greatest country singer in america!! (and i don't even LIKE country besides him )

pretty sad. i likes it, though.

i use 12 fps framerate, furor. it's 45 frames altogether. Some of my animations are 2-3 minutes long and they take a while to make.

thanks for editing it serverph. I kind of like the first one though cuz it looks old and stuff. ok...i'll take out the star. I need to put something to show that all of it's not written by me though, so what does anyone suggest?

you know, when I was reading it reminded me of freestyle rap. I have a friend who does freestyling with acid music beats and it's pretty funny. I thought it was alright.

thanks! yeah i know its short. If you draw the characters frame by frame it takes awhile, at least for me. That's why most people do "tweening" in flash. heres a good site Ralphie - http://www.flashkit.com/ . They have tons of tutorials and stuff but if you want to make something faster you can just copy and paste the actionscript. They also have some pretty good sound effects there too.

thanks for the comments! :-) anyway, yeah, it's just different kinds of stories and poems I wrote. At the last section of the book is some of my friends' stories. yuuuuup.

heres a animation I made in flash about WWI. It's really short. :-P heh. btw, i don't advocate war. :-D http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ do you likes?

the duck photo was taken by my gramps years ago. Anyway does it look like a good bookcover?
