MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE:
Ok, so I couldn't wait any longer, and I saw TRANSFORMERS THE MOVIE today at AMC (even got some collectible comics...WOOT!!) Ok, I'm sure already you guys are battonning down the hatches, well, don't worry, I ACTUALLY LIKED IT!! Who knew, right?
But seriously, it was good, and hearing Peter Cullen as Optimus again was really awesome.
BTW, Hugo Weaving...again in a geek film...anyone else catching onto a trend here?
So, what else did Dave do aside from that? Well, Dave also has finished some of the most intense graphics work to be done on O.X.E.N. to date! I also got counters for the main grid! WOOT!
The only sad side of today, well, Lisa Feld e-mailed me with some unfortunate news. And considering some new things going on in my life, and dealing with certain people in my life...I think I've apologized before, but I'm too lazy to go back and check so I'd like to say this:
Dear everyone:
I am extremely sorry for my suicidal statements in the past. I wasn't in a good place (kind of a duh-statement considering most people don't have suicidal thoughts when they are in their good place), and I didn't forsee getting back into my happy place anytime soon then. Failed relationship, failed friendships, lack of steady and / or fulfilling work, family issues...it all got to be too much, and I overloaded.
For those who have stuck by me through all this: thank you so much. You have no idea how much it really means to me that when I was truly in one of my darkest times, one of the most depressed states I've ever been (aside from when I was actually institutionalized), you stood by and rode it out with me. For that, I thank you.
To all those who left, and maybe read this, or have friends who read this, I am sorry that my emotional and mental instability drove you away. You'll never truly grasp how big of a hole each one of you has left in my soul, and watching you all leave on me, some of you alone, some of you in groups, it killed me inside.
I really miss you all, and I hope, one day, hopefully sooner rather than later, we can at least try again to be friends.
I really do consider all my friends a lot more than that. I really consider you guys family, more so than those I share blood with. You have all been more accepting, helpful, and supportive than any of my kin (mother aside).
I know words don't fully repair the damage I have done, but I do truly hope that you will see this, and take to heart that this is truly the first step in my self-redemption.
I have learned alot dealing with a specific, and relatively recent, friend. Helping her has shown me a lot about myself, and I truly believe that while to some it may seem like the blind leading the blind, I believe it'll be more like the hearing-impared helping the near-sighted. We have our limitations, but we can help to fill in each other's deficient senses.
Again, to everyone, thank you.
Sincerely, and heartfelt:
Dave "Knighthawk" Simpson
