The Ballgame...

Today was, wierd to say the least. First off, I felt a bit rebelious and had some "collage-student-fun". Putting foil and CD's in the microwave, and other things that I don't want my parents to find out by reading this. That was a good time though.
Then, I went to the Somerset Patriots game. For once, I had a good time. Dancin' Bill, the local hero whom We believe the imfamous Six Flags commercials were based off of, had come back out of his dancing "Retirement", which lasted for almost a year, and was once again leadin' the kids in Cotten-Eyed-Joe and the infamous song FROM the six flags commercials in the Home-Run celebrations. I was right there with him, I have recieved a reputation as his faithful sidekick, always being known to bust a few moves at every home-run and Cotten-Eyed-Joe playings. Tonight was no exception, as I once again strut my stuff for the fans. Every time I go out though, I end up hurting something, this time my right ankle; but hey, 'tis all for the experiance... And it's a good time to be had by all, the Patriots FINALLY WIN ONE! WOO-HOO!!! w00t-w00t!!!

Skinning/Art News:
I'm taking' a break from art for a SHORT while. I've burned up pretty much all of my wil to work on things and have run out of inspiration. But I will get back to work when I can. Probably when school begins, is when I will start up once again. I'm currently working on a Taxi themed Wallpaper, a Novelty WMP skin, and another sketch of my alter Ego: Stealth Phoenix.

Greyscale uploaded and reviewed

Nothing really new other than some buisness to report.

Skinning/Art News:
Greyscale has been uploaded, and I've gotten a few comments on it. Pretty much what I expected, criticism on the graphics, and commendation on the coding. What I didn't expect was the compliments on the style, people love the layout of it. I wasn't ready for that. I got enough cc that I may make a second version, but for now, I'll wait.
The reason why I need to wait, I'm working on a new original concept, I'm currently working on a noveklty skin which has a number of video games coded into the skin. I've already got a lot of good games, but I'm only just getting started, expect it within a week or two.

Greyscale complete

The Olympics have begun, and are on full swing. Like I care. I obviously prefer the X-Games. Don't get me wrong, the olympics are good for proving which country got the best athletes, but the sports have pretty much stayed the same since 1980. They desperately need an update. It doesn't matter, either way the downstairs TV has been deemed "off limits", as it is being used 24/7 to record the olympic events. Oh joy of Joys...

Skining/Art News:
Just today, I finished both the code, and the graphics on project Greyscale. I'm waiting before I upload it though, as I want to test it and look for bugs so that I don't need to update. Either way, I just keep improving in my skills with every new skin. I'm becoming a machine. Look for me to upload it within a week.

The X-Games

The X-Games have been completed, and once again, they were awesome. We saw the first Body Varial in Moto-X best trick (Awesome), the first showing of Jeremy Mc in Moto-X, we saw a new record in the Skateboard Big-Air, and the East Coast wins the surfing competition (EAST COAST PRIDE Y'ALL!!!). We didn't see the double-backflip in Moto-X, because Pastrana fell on that F****** 360 in the prelims. Well, I see it this way, it sucks, but at least now he has 12 months, to PERFECT IT...

Skinning/Art News:
My next skin, which I am now code-naming Greyscale, is almost ready to upload. As I said, the coding is complete, but I was able to add a few more elements. I'm currently making the graphics though, but as the people on customize.org will know, it ain't my strong point. I'll upload a beta version soon onto my scraps at deviantart.com

New sky Photo's

Geyser
Condensation Chaos


Skinning/Art News:
I've just uploaded 2 new sky Photo's onto deviantart.com that I took on July 30th. They were both of the same overall formation, but drastically differant sections. The formation itsellf was absolutely huge. It literally took up half of the sky.
As for the new skin, I'm debating 2 things about it. Either I can upload a beta version with the finished code, and/or I can collab with someone for the graphics (as I've leaqrned from experiance that I'm not one for style...).
