For some reason Java won't let me use SitBack on this browser. Since I "hid" my images....it does work on IE9 though.

Art that's so awesome I couldn't HOPE to do quality like these. Sounds defeatist of me but that's the way Life goes. Even if I did improve, it'd be nothing compared to THESE guys. Enjoy.

Killer take out! by ~hansbrown-77

Let me tell you a storyToday I would like to tell you a story: it's the story of a humble photographer (that would be me) who destroyed an image hosting website.
But let's start from the beginning:
a while ago I found a forum where one of my photos of Layla had been manipulated into an ugly signature and posted by one of the forum members. Needless to say, I was mad as hell. I usually get upset anytime one of my works is taken and republished without my permission, but when it comes to my beloved cats I get SERIOUSLY pissed off, they're my furry babies, part of my family, and I can't stand how random kids who think to be "digital artists" turn them into ugly signatures and blends. Apart from the fact that they're not allowed to use my photos no matter what, they could at least do a decent job!
Anyway, the first thing I did was try to contact the forum administrators to inform them that they had to take down my horribly manipulated photo. I also normally contact the image hosting website and file a DMCA to asLet me tell you a story by =WishmasterAlchemist

Something to think about...

Journals / Personal

Mood: Hopeless

From my Personal Truths deviation I just deleted: the wisdom is still relevant though:

What I'd like to do in Life while I still have it

Decluttering
To learn not to judge/prejudge
To concentrate on beauty as I see it
To learn to quit (depending on what you're quitting)
To gain discipline and self-control (we all need that)
To hold your tongue when you have nothing good to offer
To use "base" language less
To have "me" time once in a while
To sell/give away what is unnecessary
To look at the "Big Picture" often as necessary
To keep things organized
To appreciate God and what He's given me
To enjoy and appreciate animal companionship while I have them
To reap the benefits of just letting insults, hasty words or worthless talk (generated by moods) go by me, never leaving them a place to land.
To let no one insult you unless you let them. I have dignity.
To let go of useless ideas and pastimes
To develop/use patience and encourage others to do so too
To realize that Happiness doesn't come from having things. It can come from using things to make your world better...or to let them go.
To remember that people matter much more than things or money. Things don't have feelings.

Follow these and the world might be nicer to live in.

BTW I'm not "hopeless" as the Mood emote depicts. I just like the emote.

Oh and sorry about deleting arts. Some are in Scraps. I need to just let go of things.

Some arts just pissed me off.
