Hey mates!! I remember you three lol... well... also remember Burnit, Bernd, and few others from the company that are still here... maybe...and Alan...you changed your name from MrPhipps

After getting out of School, I found that not only you have to pay off the student loans (yes I already new that) but in the process... it doesn't leave much time for anything else.

I tried working on X-rebirth, but time restraints kept me from doing very much if anything at all. You'd think that being an artist I'd have plenty of time.
I also found out from my professor, who it turned out I used to work for when I tested for Activision years ago, That I didn't need an art degree to be an artist, I just needed a good art portfolio.
The degrees DID help, but they weren't needed lol... I did get them, just that they weren't quite as important.

I found out three important things.. four actually.

1. The art industry is extremely competitive
2. Hollywood Lies
3. Retirement sucks
4. Time passes in the blink of an eye

Somehow I think I managed to miss all those over the years.
I do know that I missed you mates.

I just returned back to the US after being in Southeast Asia for a time. After nearly a year and I half I had to come back...I was desperate for a decent Pepperoni Pizza... not that they didn't have pizza there, it just wasn't the same.
It took me nearly a month to get my PC and set it up. Almost thought I'd lost it.
Yes insurance would have replaced it, but there were things that are irreplaceable on this PC...mainly the things I now have a back-up disk of one good scare will make you do that with a quickness.
