Well. Last year I made some resolutions and a lenghty blog.

Don't read it XD

Again, this year I want to make resolutions and say I love Newgrounds.

Looking back at this year... Brawl Funnies, Rob bloged and I made fun of him, I made flashes, me and Austin became web friends, Shapes, Stamper made a new Flash, and my NG calendar got me through the whole year.

It was hard to find time to get on here, between working two jobs and going to school full time, and some how I still managed to party and make friends outside of NG.

Next year on NG I hope to-

1: Make more flashes and just have a lot of fun in making each one.

2: Attend some of the meet ups, cons, and maybe visit the NG office.

3: Make at least one very skillfully done and excellent animation solo.

4: laugh a lot.

Here's a random pic to finish this off. Me and a friend getting jiggy. I hope everyone had a great year, and the next year will be better.

I'm quitting my job to become a Male Stripper.

As some of you may have already known I worked for a bus compnay. Well, times are tough and I need something than I can stand out in and get more bang for my hard work. A lot of women have been telling me that I would be perfect for this line of work and I have been fucking the owner of a strip club for extra cash anyway and she has been gracious enough to give me a job.

I was trained by a guy named Sally. He showed me how to use a pole, a banana, and we been going to the gym together lately.

I don't really have the muscles for it but I certainly have a big enough dick. Last night was my first go at it - I have posted a video on my youtube.com/number1ricky - and I got to give at least 15 fat girls, 10 really sweet hotties lap and about 20 guys lap dances. My favorite part of the night was when I got to dress as a Cowboy. I love my toy gun, literally.

Come see me some time at Luxor in Vegas, my new home sweet home.

CATOBLEPAS. His name is one regular Newgroundians admire and revere because of his amazingly edgy flash animations. For four years now, Catoblepas has been a flash animator on Newgrounds and has been the attraction of very little attention in comparison to other animators with his skill. The reason is simple though, his animations call us to watch hideous and gross tales of realism, often with an intelligent underlining thoughts or meanings. Catoblepas is the most underrated artist currently on Newgrounds, a title which, I think, will someday be transformed into most underrated artist of his time. Catoblepas has a scary way of using color to shock and dismay.

Here's an example of his work, in which he states in the author Comments a hidden meaning lies within.

Here's another, and less violent, flash. (His animations often feature a himself, a clue to his genius.)

Catoblepas surrealistic style has caused viewers to question his sanity and possible drug habits.

From just those two clips alone one can see the talent in his work. If you go back to Blush My Teeth (the second link) and use your cursor, right click the screen and select the forward option, now repeat this a few times to see each frame in motion, if you want to see what animation is all about.

Catoblepas' work is ahead of it's time. A day will come when people of all ages are not scarred by the images in front of them; when the only thing that matters of art is weather or not we find the skill or motion in it exciting or boring. When I first saw Catoblepas skill in action it was in Bad Baby:

I was amazed that the very first thing to happen was a baby's decapitation. However shocking this all was to me, the fact is that none of it was really happening, or ever will... There's no reason for me to demote the man's work over my horrified nerves.

Keep in mind, if Catoblepas can make all these evil and horrible depictions come to life with his hands, it's very possible he could make anything, good or evil, come to life the same way. Just because YOU don't like his imagination is no reason to condemn his work; someday his work will find the praise it deserves.

Acceptance is not to be frowned upon; negativity is something we all deal with. Please read this with an open heart and a thoughtful mind. The less you judge this as negative, the more you'll see (I think) how good it is. This is probably one of my best poems.

It took me some 22 years
to realize my worst fears.
The reason girls won't look at me,
Availing and unscrupulously

Loneliness and my life are wed.
I'd search for answers confusedly.
The reason I'm unconfident,
or should say I used to be,
is simple; I'm ugly.

And it makes me feel bad.
But I no longer am sad,
at all, about who I am.

I'm actually very impressed
with the abilities I possess.
I think it's obvious
any future I choose will be a success.

The only thing I'm missing
is a girl to call my own.
One who loves me and wants me
and needs my love alone.

I'm one of the smartest people I know.
And I know it plainly shows.
I accept that I'm a smart fellow
like I accept my charisma is low.

And I accept that life is beautiful
even if I am not.
I may be seemingly an emotional person,
but I really don't give a fuck.

The truth is that I am me,
and I am very happy,
and I accept that I'm not gonna look
the way that makes girls look at me.

Pain is a part of life and purpose,
so I'll learn to deal with this grief
because thinking that I'm perfect
would be a silly belief.

;)

PS This is not a sad poem... I just wanted to express that tonight when I looked in the mirror I truly felt confident enough in myself to say that I am ugly... It's just basically something I finally accept. This is an important step in life I feel, self acceptance. I accept myself, even if I think I am just plain ugly ;)

PSS: Everyone thinking about being an asshole based on my poem I wrote just go fuck yourself instead. ok? ;)

PSSS: check out my flash

PSSSS

PSSSSS: My dick measures roughly 6 and 1/2 inches, and seven when I'm actually in bed with the girl. It's all natural. I'm proud of it.

here it is.

LOL It's bad... But I'm gonna make good ones ;) and they wont be spam.

I'll change it to a halloween preloader when it passes judgement ;)

I decided to write a new thing... It's a dialouge between to people that I plan to turn into a flash. Believe it or not it has meaning and symbolism ;)

Here is an excerpt from my new project:
Reviewed myself...

Person1. YOUR AN ASSHOLE DUDE!

Person 2. I'm not an asshole...

Person1. YES YOU ARE DUDE! I SAID YOUR AN ASSHOLE SO THEREFORE YOU ARE AN ASSHOLE!
The End.

PS soon to be a flash.
