All right, listen up folks. I've been gettin continuous lip 'bout my tude here. IT AIN"T REAL! Look, ok? I'm a writer, and a fierce one at that. Y'alls wanted an old-west shoot-out here, so I write you one. Every spaghetti shootout needs a despicable braggart rustler for the town to rally ???????round--and drill. It????????s just my contribution to the character of the place.
I????????ve begun clearly marking my tomfoolery and jive with the smack talk on/off tags. Between the tags, it????????s all fiction folks.
Ok, here????????s the truth: On a scale of 1 to 10 as a photohacker, I????????m somewhere between a 6 and 8, depending on the day. I know I????????m not a 10, but don????????t try and shove a 1-5 down my throat--that ain????????t the truth neither. I????????m here to work on that. I appreciate the help. I figure those last couple of points are quite the Everest to climb, but I????????m willing. These challenges and duels are the hardest work out I????????ve ever had, writing, hacking, any of it. Love every pixel.
I expected to win against Billy, but have since learned that come to the duels with a half-assed shot and you????????ll have the other cheek handed to you. Yer all right. I coulda done way better.
I????????m expected to loose horribly against Jr. But wait-- not so fast. I????????ve never seen what I can do across a span of two or three months. ???????Sanitarium??????? was the longest I????????ve ever worked on a shot and that only took me 16 hours. Up till now I????????ve averaged 40 minutes. Give me months? I think I can upset Junior with that, if I really knuckle down and if he don????????t take me VERY seriously. Also I????????m in truth really not impressed with Junior's postings so far. There's nothing of his I haven????????t looked at and sed ???????self, I think I can do better.??????? I think he????????s holding out his best stuff for his paying customers. I want to see what he can really do???????because I want to Borg it if he can beat me.
And don????????t judge my writing by Psylocke. I really am an 11 in that. I????????m a thousand times better, and it????????s all on my yahoo group, if you????????ve the patience to actually read something. Just figured nobody takes the fiction seriously around here anyway. It????????s not what I????????m here for either.
So in summary: I????????m really a reasonable, intelligent, and reasonably humble, hard-working fella (with two degrees in astrodynamics???????not art). I just write fiercer, more life-like smack-talk than you????????re used to is all.
And I lied. I????????ve got a Power Girl on my boards already, not that it matters much over that time scale. I????????ve plans for her though. Heavy manual labor plans. Plans for poetry. Poetry of curve, texture???????and even more poetry in both motion---and Mandarin of course. Gonna take me some serious time for once.
Probably start over twice, as I said. Chalk it all up to experience. Gotta climb those last few points.
