<B> Back when I was a drunkard, I'd recommend Booze. (and thusly, I pissed away three years of my life.)</B><HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Yeah...I did the same thing, from age 16 to 20. I didn't just drink, though. I smoked pot and took every drug I could get my hands on. And I fought a lot, too, so some part of me was always either bruised or broken. I think I was indirectly trying to kill myself. I didn't quit that nonsense until I got into a fight with a guy who had a knife I couldn't see. I was drunk and stoned at the time, so there's no way I could have gotten out of it. I almost <i>did</i> die from that. It took a year's worth of being totally messed up for me to get it into my thick head that maybe I was doing something stupid.<P>

<B>Instead, I am thinking maybe a trip to L.A. might help you regain your uhm, composure, it's clear you've got a sense of having a "real Life", and you miss it. On the other hand, you might just lay back, get some rest, maybe miss a couple of updates while stuff percolates in your head, and, maybe in a week or so, you'll be "recharged." Running a small business is Tough on everything. running it on the kind of shoestring that you're on, is tougher than that. (I mean, really, a HONDA that breaks down? I drive 25+y/o american cars, not the collectible ones, the ones that should've been sent to japan for conversion into steel pipe!) </B><HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>My Honda is cursed. It has an electrical gremlin that has eluded me and every real mechanic I've taken it to. I'm tempted to go out to the yard with a sledgehammer and just murder the bastard. It would be cathartic for me, at least. I've had a lot of trouble with cars, though. The only really good car I ever had was a 1988 Toyota Celica. I will kick myself from now until the end of forever for letting go of that car.<P>

<B>anyway, I'm up at midnight, when I have to be at work at 4:30 in the AWWMYGOD MORNING... I just hope you can push it through, man, you're the only artist out here (it seems) that's doing similar material (better) to mine. I need the inspiration/competition/example. Do whatever it takes to keep the Quality up, Please!!! (If that means taking a vacation, okay, I know that some areas where I work have a policy of "stress Leaves" in place, to keep people from flaking out on flight-safety items... Just make sure you come back!) As soon as I can figure out the (CENSORED) E-Mail Client and why it's (CENSORED) malfunctioning, I'll see if I can actually "finish" draw some fan-art (probably won't be up to your standard, But you're a WAYYY professional compared to my best efforts...), maybe of one or two "Minor" characters... </B><HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>You would do fan art for me?? Cool! I love doing fan art, but I just don't have the time to do it. I wish I did, and practically everyone I know would have two or three pics from me. Maybe things will settle down, soon. I hope.<P> <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>
<B>BTW: Tell Max the Lazer Cannons were Recalled, apparently the original contractor Faked the last set of tests, and, when they were installed at the first Squadron to recieve them, the cooling jackets and power couplings melted, which cracked the optics. Four Mechanics were killed , along with two pilots. The whole shipment was recalled, and the contract was Cancelled. Sony/Esystems of Exedra is working on their version of the same system, but the Procurement Command's being very strict in their efforts to monitor the new program...</B><HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Heh...Max says "*censored!*" (He's so predictable.) I think he still wants those cannon, though.<P>(~-^)<P>Kaichi
