If this was a dog community and we were all put in one room, we'd see a bunch of dogs sniffing each other. There'd be a couple in the corner peeing out of fear and anxiety. A couple more in the other corner trying to nap, getting some well deserved shut eye just staying away from the mix. The females would be 2/3 the way on one side barking at the males who might be grouped across the room. The tough dogs would be barking at the other tough dogs, while the horney ones wouldn't care if they were caught cause they're just looking for a willing recipient. And then there'd be all those crazy mutts who would just bark to bark - they really have nothing to input they just want to make noise. Doesn't matter to them the subject matter - hell - they'd bark at their own tails if given the choice.

Luckily or appropriately Deviant Art is a human community intertwined with internet code, electronics, and pixels. I wish you were still on staff but I read your journal and understand why you're not. It's better for you to be healthy and strong, happy and well - than miserable, confused and aggravated. I heard that the truth will set you free - but here - i wonder if the truth will just condemn instead. I personally don't want to know - cause we don't know who's telling the truth anymore.

So which dog am I in my little scenario? I was a dog barking just to bark, but my voice gave out. Now i'm standing in front of the door - cause eventually their gonna have to feed us and when they open that door and everyone else runs out I'll have me a little feast all by myself. I may be ignorant but I'm not stupid.

Thank you for staying around - and thank you for the service you gave to us even when we didn't even realize it. It's 'cause of folks like you that will one day give community a whole new meaning. Cheers!
