Seven years ago (2007) I made this account-- at the time that newgrounds was still young-- to chase after my dreams of becoming an animator. And I was quick about it, I made an animation* after a few days of being a member, but it was quickly BLAMMED faster than a barefoot jackrabbit on a hot greasy griddle in the middle of august!
I hit the pavement pretty hard, and was easily discouraged at the time. I was so naive and had life pick up pretty quickly after that. And while that stopped me from doing animation, that did not stop me from drawing, sketching, doodling. That did not stop me from continuing to dream and to especially wish. My profile stayed bare for all that time, and I was too shy to follow other animators, but was so receptive to stay updated on their work.
Now after seven years, I was retracing my steps and found myself attempting to sign-in onto this account. Luck would have it I had not forgotten anything, I remembered it all like I had left it seven years ago. And tonight, after seven years, I want to start at it again, with the knowledge that it is a process.
And while I might not know where I will be seven years from now, I look forward to having something ready again. That is, after I am done teaching myself how to actually use Adobe Flash this time.
* that first animation that got trashed, it was about a little boy and his best friend who was a bomb, I will revamp it!!!
