Fly... by °Phill 3 weeks 20 hours ago

^nat
This wallpaper captures the urban essence that proliferated the art of Ghost in the Shell in every incarnation of the series. Phill does an amazing job of capturing a moment of surrealism.

While there are a few, stray building angles and shadows, you find that your eye forgives the minor details and instead focuses on the overall scene that is larger than life, with lights trailing off into infinity.

But then that would be accepting a mistake, and men don't make mistakes, none that are acceptable.

He punctuated with a full stop. What if you just accepted you misread it?

$damoser 40 minutes ago
Then why would he put a period instead?

His comment was a statement. Not a question.

Neon Genesis Evangelion 25-26

2 years 6 months ago

"I just finished watching all of Evangelion and EoE this past week. I liked the last two episodes of the series even though they were completely mind blowing and bewildering but they were great in the sense that they made you think about yourself (at least I did). However, I have a question about EoE. In the end does everyone come back to the Earth or are Shinji and Asuka the only two people left? Cause when I saw that I was just o_O. If anyone could give me some feedback I'd appreciate it.

I could understand why many people didn't appreciate the final two episodes of the series. Most people watch anime for the enjoyment and relaxation rather for the psychological aspect. By this I mean that they do not like it when they have to think about what is going on. For many people it is probably difficult to relate to anything that's going on in those episodes or to even try to relate because it is so different from anything they are used to."

"Wow the vectoring on this is really great. I would recommend that you work off of some stocks and maybe perhaps even vector a background (if you're up to it) because that would just make it an oustanding wall in my eyes. I think you have something good on your hands if you devote some more time to it and spend a great deal of time developing the background."

What grinds your gears?

"The thing that really ticks me off is when people start talking about subjects they know nothing about as if they were the foremost experts. For example, I have a friend who the other day said that because he didn't understand economics it couldn't possibly be real. Now just because he can't understand it doesn't mean that it isn't real, it isn't as if people who don't understand physics claim that it isn't real. God that is one of the things that ticks me off the most. I really hate people who spend their entire lives having verbal diarrhea and just bsing everything."

"Well I'm a freshman in college and I hate homework but there's not much I can do about it. Unfortunately it's not like high school where I could just come up with some excuse for why I didn't do my work. Here I have to do everything on time and the right way, otherwise my grade in the class will go down =/. It really sucks but hey it'll only pay off in the end. At least that's what I think."

Reincarnation

2 years 11 months ago

"Even though I am a Roman Catholic I most definitely believe in Reincarnation. For some reason I always have so when I read the book "Many Lives, Many Masters" by Dr. Weisman (sp?) it just strengthened my belief. I really recommend that book to anyone who's interested in the possibility. It is about the experience that a psychologist (or psychiatrist not exactly sure always confuse the two lol), Dr. Weisman, and his patient go through while undergoing sessions of past-life regression therapies which are extremely interesting. So yea, that's my two cents."

Naruto / Kyuubi Wallpaper

3 years 6 days ago

"I know this has been said several times already but the Naruto text seems plain and boring and also the positioning is a little bit awkward in my personal opinion. Also, for the picture of Naruto maybe you could get a picture of him angry or in his fox-like form like when he battles Neji or Sasuke because right now he looks like all smiles while there's that feral fox right there next to him. Also it kinda looks like Naruto is floating in a vacuum or something maybe add a little bit more details to the bg besides just the black with the fox...perhaps a chair or something. An idea if you decide to keep the happy Naruto would be to maybe make that black part into something else like grass or something that contrasts with the darkness that is the kyuubi...just a thought."

my first wallpaper critique by kagome101

3 years 6 days ago

"Like trism suggested adding something into the background would really create a good effect because right now it just looks sort of plain and boring. The text on the polaroids would also be a good idea to make it look like someone is actually holding onto those pictures. I really don't know the story behind the anime but maybe you could also put some sort of stains on the white parts of the polaroids to make it seem like they've been around for a while and that the person who owns them has been using them a lot? I don't know what you think but that's just my suggestion."

Harry Potter: Half-Blood Prince

"I definitely enjoyed the book and am frustrated at the fact that we have to wait another 2 years before we get the final book....argh. I didn't really get anything spoiled for me thank God because once the book came out I pretty much stayed away from any forums and basically websites in general, that way I didn't risk coming across spoilers. Once I got the book I read it in one day and then started reading and posting again, to me that was the safest and easiest way of not getting the book ruined for me."

Do you care what nationality your wife/husband (boyfriend/girlfriend) is?

3 years 6 days ago

"To me the nationaly of the person doesn't matter. What really matters in a case like that would be the location of said person, because if he/she lives in another country it would be pretty hard to maintain a steady and fruitful long distance relationship. Those kinds of relationships are hard to maintain even if people live in the same country but just different cities =/. People like to say that love can conquer all but sadly that's not exactly the case, unless you are willing to do anything for the other person, even if that means that you must leave your family and go live in another country or something of that nature, then there is the possibility of having a good relationship with said person. However in this day and age a lot of people don't take such stands...people have gotten into a sort of state that if something is too difficult then they decide not to do it, whereas in ages past people would literally do anything for a relationship to succeed. The idea of love conquering over all may have been a valid view in the past but not so much now adays."

LOST

"Well I actually didn't watch Lost during the season here in the US but over the summer they were showing it again and I caught the first episode and loved it, so what did I do? Yea I went ahead and d/led all the eps =X....go figure I watched the entire season in like 2 days cause yea I liked it that much and it was that good. I dunno what I'm gonna be doing during college next year cause I don't exactly plan on sitting in my room watching TV but I'm sure I'll figure it out, if anything record it so I can watch it when I go home during the breaks XD.

On a side note, I personally didn't find it to be like either Lord of the Flies or Jurassic Park...it's very original and that's one of the reasons I liked it. So yea I recommend you keep on watching it, you'll most likely enjoy it."

alcoholic drinks

3 years 1 week ago

"I honestly have no idea when the first time I drank some alcohol was. My families really open with that kinda thing so like since I've been younger they've given me like wine and stuff at dinners and things like that. Funny thing is that wine is like one of the only alcoholic drinks that I don't like along with champagne. My favorite would have to be scotch but hey I'm weird I guess. I've had vodka and tequila and all that stuff before but I've never been drunk. I'm pretty much only a social drinker and like drink with the family or have like a beer or two when I'm at a party with some friends. Occasionally I'll go for some of the harder stuff but not so often.

The problem with drinking is that there are a lot of people who do it only to be like "hey look at me I'm better than you I can drink blah blah blah" but all that does really is lead to problems. I was at a party last year where this one girl had her first experience with alcohol and she had taken like 7 shots of tequila (rough first time no?) anyways she fell on the ground and started throwing up and her friends didn't really do anything except like give her MORE tequila (great friends, am I right?) anyways long story short someone finally decided to call an ambulance and the cops and she wound up going to a hospital for alochol poisining....let's just say that cause of the cops there was a lot of running to be had lol.

Alcohol really isn't bad if you drink it in moderation. Like I said, I've never been hammered (wasted/drunk/whatever) so all my experiences are good. You just have to not get sucked into that peer pressure of "hey let's go to this party and get krunked hehehehe" cause that's when the real problems start up. But yea having shots/beers/liquour is not a bad thing like so many people in society claim it is."

Best experience you've had...

3 years 1 week ago

"Me best experience would have to be this past January when i played in Carnegie Hall for the 4th time so far in my life. It was with this National Orchestra you gotta audition for and it was my third time playing with them. The reason it was so much better than the previous 2 times I had played with the orchestra (the 1st time doesn't even come close cause it was with my school band who isn't all that good) was because of the fact that we were playing Mahler's 1st symphony and at the end of the fourth movement Mahler wrote in the parts and the score for the entire French Horn section to stand, so it was just an awesome experience to be standing there with the section while belting out the ending to the symphony. That is one experience I am sure I will not forget any time soon."
