First and foremost I would like to say C*mcast is a bitch to work with. The managed to fuck up a simple task and delay it for nearly two months from when they were actually supposed to install us. This wouldn't be a problem, except for the service provider we switched from, decided to take down our satellite so we did have internet for almost 3 months. Fuck you internet providers, and thank you C*mcast for the outstanding service and hi-speed internet. They suck with customers, and are extremely sleazy (given that they cut channels out of the peoples' package and fucked everything up) Now I'm not saying that they are bad people, just that they need to seriously rethink their business ethics.

Other then that, I'm back!

I finally got accepted into my first job, and it feels great.
Here's what it's like:

September is a great month, it really is. Not only does Madness Day come rolling by on the 22nd, but I also share my birthday with WritersBlock. Well, kinda. Since I live in the US and he lives in Australia, so it's a bit mixed up.

Well, I have writer's block right now, so I'm at a loss of what I should do on 9/9/09, any suggestions?

Well, It was a fun three days. We visited the aquarium, ate at the Anchor, the home of the buffalo wings, went on the Maid of the Mist, watched Niagara in iMAX, walked through the wax museum, went to Niagara Falls, and much more!
There were a couple of things that we weren't able to do, number one being a helicopter tour. Money was a pretty big issue when it came to activities, but overall it was great.

This is the point of no return I could never go back
Life without parole up state shackled and trapped
Living in the hole, lookin' at the world through a crack
But fuck that, I'd rather shoot it out and get clapped
I've gone too far, there ain't no coming back for me
Auschwitz gas chamber full of Zyklon-B
Just like the spanish exterminating Tynos
Raping the black and Indian women, creating Latinos
Mother fuckers made me out of self righteous hatred
And you got yourself a virus, stuck in the Matrix
A suicide bomber strapped and ready to blow
Lethal injection strapped down ready to go
Don't you understand they'll never let me live out in peace
Concrete jungle, guerrilla war out in the streets
Nat Turner with the sickle pitch fork and machete
The end of the world, mother fucker you not ready
This is the point of no return and nobody can stop it
Malcolm little running up before Elijah Muhammad
The comet dat killed the dinosaurs, changing the earth
They love to criticize they always say I change for the worse
Like prescription pills when you miss using them n***a
The temple of nights when they took Jerusalem n***a
And figured out what was buried under Soloman's temple
Al Aksa the name is no coincidental
I know too much to government is trying to murder me
No coming back like cutting your writs open vertically
How could the serpent be purposely put in charge of the country
Genetic engineered sickness spread amongst me
My people are so hungry that they attack without reason
Like a fuckin' dog ripping off the hand that feeds him
Immortal Technique is treason to the patriot act
So come and get me mother fucker cause I'm not coming back

This is the point from which I could never return
And if I back down now then forever I burn
This is the point from which I could never retreat
Cause If I turn back now there can never be peace
This is the point from which I will die and succeed
Living the struggle, I know I'm alive when I bleed
From now on it can never be the same as before
Cause the place I'm from doesn't exist anymore

This is the point of no return n***a you better believe this
Mary Magdalen giving birth to the children of Jesus
The evolution of the world, bloody and dramatic
Human beings killing monkeys to conquer the planet
The kingdoms of Africa and Mesopotamia
Machine gunnin' your body with depleted uranium
This is the age of micro chips and titanium
The dark side of the moon and contact with aliens
I started out like Australians, criminal minded
Broke into hell, tore it down, and built and city behind it
South Paul, murderous, methodology n***a
Remember that I'm just a man don't follow me n***a
Cause once you past the point you can never go home
You've got to face the possibility of dying alone
So tell me mother fucker, how could you die for the throne?
When you don't even got the fuckin' heart to die for your own
It rains acid, one day the earth will cry from a stone
And you'll be lookin' at the world livin' inside of a dome
Computerized humanity living inside of a clone
This is the place where the unknown is living and real
Worm went to planet X and the seventh seal
Universal truth is not measure in mass appeal
This is the last time that I kneel and pray to the sky
Cause almost everything that I was always ever told was a lie

This is the point from which I could never return
And if I back down now then forever I burn
This is the point from which I could never retreat
Cause If I turn back now there can never be peace
This is the point from which I will die and succeed
Living the struggle, I know I'm alive when I bleed
From now on it can never be the same as before
Cause the place I'm from doesn't exist anymore

-Rig has stepped down as moderator
It is true, this audio mod who prevented a school arson, has now stepped down from all moderating positions for the reason that he doesn't have much time to moderate Newgrounds. Go there and pay your dues. :l

Friends&acquaintances

AlexJS-My first friend that helped me out on Newgrounds, he's helped me come so far by inspiring me to get into flash and reviewing. There's a debt that I cannot ever repay him for, unless I play him on Mario Kart for his wii.

cast-She gave me a signature to best MaximusPower's work, and it worked :P She has a great sense of humor and photoshopping abilities to match. She is one of the best sig makers that I know.

Darknessdweller-I knew him from the Car enthusiasts club. He's a pretty good poster, when he reads other peoples' posts, and doesn't bump threads for no reason.

DavidKrachtlam/DavidKracht-He is by far, the best Musical artist on Newgrounds in my opinion. His tracks are so well made (see my favorites for examples) that I hope to get him the exposure he deserves as soon as I finish my tutorial.

elbarto66-There is a fun back story with him and I, but that happened on another forum, and another time. Since then, he's helped me out with liveswif, and got me into that free program until I got Macromedia MX. I'll finish that tutorial one of these days, bro.

Jay11-Ever since my first signature request, he's been at it, producing some of the best sigs I've seen. If it weren't for my expanding skill at photoshop, I'd still be leeching off his talent. You can too!

Maximus-He and Sensationalism are just too fun when you put them together. They try to outdo each other, and occasionally chat, but it's always for the lulz. I can remember when they swapped signatures, it was hilarious.

Phantox-I don't remember much about how I got to know him, but I remember trying to talk him out of hentai production, and focus on better topics for flash. It didn't go too well, but he's still an okay guy no matter the path he chose.

Phobotech-This guy is a whiz at Photoshop, and he's taught me some key aspects of it as well. Met in a great thread.

SacredShit-All round fun person to hang with. He has a couple alts on his hand, but it would take a while to name them all. He might be changing his name soon, so keep a heads up on it. SS, lurk the BBS more, and have some fun, dude!

Sensationalism-Her and Maximus are just too fun when you put them together. They try to outdo each other, and occasionally chat, but it's always for the lulz. I can remember when they swapped signatures, it was hilarious.

SEXORCIST10-I don't know much about the guy, except that he hangs around my blog most of the time.

SubaruFreak-I'm not sure how we met each other, but we had something in common: we both liked imports. A couple of Newgrounds users think he's my alt, and to tell you the truth, I would have too if I hadn't known the guy. He lives in the UK, and has grown around vehicles so it's no doubt that he'd adapt hobby as well. Other than that, I remember him mostly for his photoshop thread.

Shippo1010, Inuyasha1010, or whatever the hell he's going by now-What at first started as a simple review for his deleted flash turned into a friendship. He's a pretty good guy, I only wish he'd come back to Newgrounds!

Tamiyaguy.newgrounds.com-This dude and I love cars, but on different levels. He likes the Remote controlled ones (the RC cars that make you say, "Holy shit he takes RC racing seriously!") while I tend to go with the actual vehicle, if not a model of it.

Xd0042006.newgrounds.com-Met this redheaded girl over Artillery Live, and hit it off from there. My advice to whoever plays the game and sees her name: DON'T. F*CK. WITH. HER. She is amazing at the game, and can beat you in 10 seconds flat (learned that the hard way.) Other than that, she's changed a little bit since I met her. XD, come on, remove yo anime!

Club Members
1337Leader-This person has gone through so much, that you should visit and pay your respect to her. She has struggled with many problems, but finally pulled through and I am proud of her.

Akmeteor-He's possibly the one of the biggest clowns I've met on newgrounds, his funny personality is matched by his commitment to the TS crew, which many lulz take place. Say hi to Arianna for me, Akkie :3

AnalPenguinFarming-When I became more aware of Newgrounds, and tried to look for ways to help users on it out, I stumbled upon the NGDD, and its now ex-leader, APF. He helped me improve my reviewing and how I helped, but he was replaced by a user named Phantom. The club from then on became too hazy for me to want to remember.

AntiAliasProductionz- He has always given his best and contributed to my club by creating a track dedicated to it, as well as a website. It was a shame to see AAP leave.

Black-Flame-Found him in the TS crew, and he's been helpful with providing the latest news on the situation of the new Timesplitters game. There isn't much more to him other than the fact he, Akkie, Surge, and I are the only people left in the TS crew.

Bloodman101-The best guy to show you around if you go down under...to Australia. Bloodman's also a great addition to the Madness Combat Crew, as he always seems to be participating in the conversation and *rarely* goes off topic.

Christmasraptor-He's been a great member, who was known for being such a great person to have in your club. Unfortunately, he'll have been gone a year from now, on the 12th. I'm not sure if he was locked out, stopped coming to newgrounds or what, but everyone wants him to come back. Xmasraptor, if you're there, haul your ass back to newgrounds, we miss you!

Corky52-He's an all-round great guy, who pretty much sets up great story plots, and even shoots some of them, like Hay Wars. Other than that, he's a great coleader, and when he's not busy helping someone out, or giving us some great stories about the him playing on the gridiron, he's learning to become a teacher.

DBM-He was the founding coleader that helped me create the new MCC, (Madness Combat Crew) albeit, it was a rough, inexperienced beginning for the club, but he was all-around helpful to get it started off right. Besides that, the man's gonna be a dad, so pay a visit on his page and congratulate him.

DELUCA2400-He's one of my gaming mates on XBox Live, and is in the COD4 Headquarters. Great guy, not bad with a gun.

FalkonG4-Another good person from the good ol' days. I regret to say that I don't remember much about him, other than he used to be a frequent member of the TS club and that we joked around a lot. I think I also made him a signature once when I was still new to photoshop. Good times, good times.

Fatkidwitajetpak-I met him while trying to help him out with his first club, about escapin' stuff. After a while, I stuck with it, and eventually we became pretty good friends. He tried to start a collaboration, but it flopped. Great job on your successful flash, FKWJP!

GOTHCLAWZ-I wont go into details, but what I will say is he has some compelling ideas, and deep thoughts, but his habit of spamming clouds the better of him.

Joza1.newgrounds.com-An ex-member of the MCC, who helped it get started. A while back, she ran into some computer virus trouble and went offline. She has since returned, but felt like her opinion wasn't being heard, and resigned from the club.

Lotus-The man has an interesting personality if it doesn't get the better of him. Once a member of the MCC, he now just lurks the BBS, steady as it goes. He's also someone who's fun to text when you are bored X-D

LtSurge659-This guy has helped me with everything; welcomed me into the first club I've ever joined, the Timesplitters crew, shared his great tracks with me, and was even my inspiration for starting the MCC. I adopted some of his traits as well, such as creating a new crew after the old one collapsed (due to lack of leadership or otherwise) and, unfortunately, posted the membership list as often as he did, which I'm sure some people will understand ;)

Matt2k8-He is genuinely trying to do the right thing, but got into a flame war with AAP, dragging Corky52 down with them. Despite the hard feelings of AAP and Corky, Matt continues the be a great member, contributing to the MCC, and making a potentially ground breaking flash movie.

mooguy-I don't know why he calls himself as such, but he's still a creative guy. He brings some conversation into the MCC, but not as much as it was before.

randompedestrian-A decent member that served his time with the MCC by helping out other members and getting some creative ideas. He resigned because he wont have much time to be with Newgrounds.

Sinskae-I stumbled onto his account, found out that he likes madness, and sent him a link to the club. He has been a loyal member, and has excelled through the MCC to be the highest ranking member in the club. As a side note, he has good sense of judgment and has helped the MCC through some tough times.

Moderators/Staff

AllReligiousDrunk-I stumbled upon her profile, and started a conversation with her. She is a decent person, and helped me out with any question I might have, such as what her favorite drink is.

Dry-Ice-This man takes his work seriously, which killed all fun he might have had, though this is also his strength because he is good at what he does.

EyeLovePoozy-His crude and offensive humor makes me laugh my ass off. The man has one of the best senses of humor I've seen on Newgrounds and he's someone that I'd like to have a beer with if I ever take up the habit. You got to give him props; he's one of the most original personalities on Newgrounds today, and for those who say he's like BBR, kindly fuck yourself :)

gumOnShoe-This dude is pretty inspirational and talented. He incorporates some deep thoughts into his posts which makes me respect the man even more. He's a great guy that genuinely helps Newgrounds to become a better place.

FIGMENTUM-He has my respect. 'Nuff said.

JadeTheAssassin-She brings the fun when you get into Stickam. Her and Poozy make the perfect pair, just like Maximus&Sensationalism :P She is also a really good artist, check her page and view the Sketchbook tour 08' for her work.

Luis-He's a fun person that landed me a mini interview with Krinkels. He also is known for holding some interesting contests like the Pink Castle Crasher cooking contest.

Mindchamber-He's a great guy who always seems to have time for his fans and friends. He has an amazing artistic ability that hooked me onto his flash work. His website is also pretty decent, check it out.

NEVR-He is a decent, level-headed mod who knows how to work and have a good time simultaneously. One thread in particular made me laugh. BananaBreadMuffin also had a hand in it. Congrats on making the BBS a funnier place.

Rig-He's everyone's favorite Canadian audio *and Forum* moderator, it's Rig! This guy has a great sense of humor, and is a good sport, despite the photoshopping hell we put him through :P

SevenSeize-She is my biggest role model here on Newgrounds. She has a great personality, helps so many users including me, and she is just so kind, that words can't describe what she has done for me. Her guidance has helped me through some difficult hardships, not only by her words, but by example. You could say I owe her big time.

Zerok-Another great moderator that goes as a good role model, this man has helped me with a couple of thread issues in my club.

Well, that ends it. If I left somebody out, sorry. I've worked on this for a while so it's definitely possible; just pm me, and I'll add you on with a comment about you. :)

But I ran into some issues.

yeah...
