i am back, after close to three months of not being on at all. i know you all hate me, and alot of you are not watching me, oh well.

i should be posting about a picture a week from now on, so no more long expances of nothing from me any more.

no just for fun i have 363 deviations, and 220 messages, all from amazing deviants. now as you all understand i do not have the time nore motivation to look through them all, and for that i am sorry, just know that you are all amazing...

What just happened to you is called a sales pitch, and no I am not leaving, just wanted you to read this. So now that you are here you might as well read it. ^_^

while i am leaving i am Not going to be on for a while, from a month to more. Not sure how long it is going to be. So yea, if you guys leave a comment and it takes me a long time to get back to you, I have not been on.

I will post some art, but it will be much slower at coming.

One more thing, I am going to show up on October 17th for my one year DA birthday!!!! I expect all of you to give me 2,000 page views or else I am going to sick my mashed & meshed mushroom monkeys on you. Just call em M3 or MSquared.

Thank you for your time

After all no man is immune to leaving a journal. So hear it is!!!!


Ok so I have decided that I am going to clean up my gall. Meaning I do not want it to get congested with hundreds of pictures, because honestly how many of you go looking through a deviants gall past ... oh say 150? So I am going to keep my gall small, just the best.

So if there are any of my pictures that you do not like, you think I could do better on, or they just steel from the rest of my gall please tell me which picture and why ^_^ it would help allot. And I know that there is a picture of mine that you do not like, so PLEASE tell me.

You are all amazing, and I love you.
