# About me

Not much to say here; i like to write, and i have been working on a few stories of mine for a while. i live in the middle of nowhere, so not much to see other than grassy plains and old folks. it really is that boring, but i have become quite the Canasta/Hand and Foot(Arm and Leg, personally) player though.

~i'm trying to improve my writing skills here, first by fantasy and science fiction, and we'll see where i can go from there. So far i'm just trying to get ideas out and hopefully i can publish a book or two someday of my own creation. of course, this is some distant future that, right now, feels more like an alternate dimension in a futuristic timeline than where i want to be a few years from now.

~Fair warning for you now, i am a Star Trek fan, and so philosophy and debating follow suit with that. Also, i tend to choose Picard over Kirk, say Han shot second, decide that Babylon 5 was kinda cool, and tell everyone that Star Trek is better than Star Wars because Star Trek gives you puzzles to solve, while Star Wars merely activates the primal pleasure centers of the human brain because it's a scifi action romance with a happy ending. if you EVER think Star Wars is better, you should have a logical argument to back it up, otherwise Star Trek wins.

when im not writing, working, watching youtube videos while drinking tea, or sleeping..... well, im usually doing one of those. I'm your typical loser, don't worry.

!! COMPETITIONย  !!

1000 Pieces Of Stock Competition - OPENOPEN

Wow! So I finally made it. 1000 pieces of stock posted. I never imagined when I opened this account that it would get so big. I just wanted a place to post the odd textures and things that I had made when I was doing my artwork to give something back to the online art community. It seemed silly to have all these textures and things just on my computer which I had found useful when other people could be using them as well. At the time I had no job and very little money so it seemed the least I could do. I am constantly amazed and delighted at all the wonderful pieces of artwork that people make using my stock. It really makes my day when I see the links in my in-box So I wanted to say THANK YOU! Thank you to everyone who thinks my stock is good enough to use. Thank you to everyone who bothers to leave a comment. Thank you to everyone who favs my work so other people can find it more easily and thank you t
Pick a quote from the list.....make a piece of art using at least 2 pieces from tigers-stock......get 1000 points if you win the competition

When are your other stories coming back, like endangered species and ignorance in truth. You left one on such a cliff hanger, and the other you just seemed to stop writing. But on both you said in this comments that you would have a new chapter in a month or two, three at most... That was over half a year ago

I'll admit freely that ES is probably dead, though my instincts say to leave no story behind. IIT is a continuing project, where i'm writing little bits and pieces to help guide me through that very complex and lengthy story. I'm in the process of writing another story too, which I hope will tide everyone over until i get my butt in gear for IIT. But for the most part you're stuck waiting. sorry man

gandof79 In reply to Jcbq [2016-09-15 16:36:19 +0000 UTC]

Eh, there's about a dozen different theories stating that Trek is like America, a dystopia, and now fascist? Meh, it's wrong for one simple reason: No active conquest. Everyone who joins does so willingly, and there are civilian built ships too, it's just that those don't really exist because fans haven't created a list of ships that people can acquire. I can simply point to the Delta flyer. Anyone with the knowledge can build a working warp capable vessel, and i imagine anyone who can is very well off. Now as for the need of money i feel like that isn't well explained, given that the Ferengi exist and use latinum as currency. There are other currencies as well within the federation's borders, so the entire federation doesn't REALLY run without some form of currency somewhere, it's all in who you know. AND, also, Star Trek Renegades. fanfilms made a way. But i think when Picard said that, he meant that the Federation found a way to eliminate money because they needed everyone's cooperation to survive. I mean, what good is money if you're dead?

But who works to get this stuff?ย 

I think he missed the biggest problem of ALL TIME with the Federation. WHO gathers the resources necessary for a moneyless society to function? surely there must be some way to compensate them, and my only response would be to share technology and ideas with those people. Some peoples would fall behind that idea and agree, but some people are just plain greedy. Not everyone will agree that just ideas for better machines/tech is a great deal in exchange for their continual membership in a Federation which does not make them rich or better off in other ways than making starships and defense platforms.ย 

This is the flaw of Star Trek: it's supposed to be a future where Man's problems are solved, but the problem with solving all the problems is that other problems arise which can find no logic as to why any society would want to live that way. I think once someone brings up an idea which solves how people can get paid for whatever they want to do, then Star Trek will feel more believable. Other, previous issues with Trek will dissipate, and some reason will have been given to live in a 'moneyless' society.

coolcat007 In reply to gandof79 [2016-03-16 02:47:19 +0000 UTC]

Nah, I was here, but just very passively. In fact yes, triple digits, I have been able to keep my deviation inbox at around 170 for 2 years now.

The reason I was so inactive is because of my double bachelors degree ( + some more, yeah... ), so apart from visual things like pictures and comics I didn't get to read (and especially write) as much as I liked.

Actually, because I went through my "important comments" folder yesterday and found this comment . Rereading about how you regarded me and how helpful I were as your inspiration to write. It felt bad to let something like that wither away.

And actually, I have been doing great! Some ups and downs regarding being TOO busy , but other than that, I met great friends at Uni and I really like the stuff I learn there. Also I have moved out last year and live on my own now. Ya know, the usual stuff for a student my age.

How about you? Anything worth mentioning happening in your life at the moment?

gandof79 In reply to coolcat007 [2016-03-16 15:18:50 +0000 UTC]

ย  i don't think mine has ever surpassed 60. it got to 57 once i think, but that was because in one of my groups someone decided they were going to post a bunch of stuff on top of the typical amount.

Yes, you've been talking about that for years(at least 3.6 years because i read that comment from before i started working where i am now too). I am sure that is going fairly decently, since you're still talking about it for this long. At least that is what i assume. But regarding that comment, you are still thinking the same as me because you brought up my comment that mentioned the color turquoise, and i am working on a short story which uses that color spectrum quite heavily. Coincidence? I think not

And if i might add onto that old reply, you are OG(Original Gangsta). Not only are you OG, you are THE OG. The first, the only, and as of today still around, kicking, screaming, and fighting. I can't say that this is uncommon or not, but who can say that their first watcher is still actively watching? I think that's really cool, and a little special. You are the first to deliver support when there was no one else, and here you are now holding that fort. No, i don't think very many Deviants can say that, famous or not.

But i'm glad to hear you're doing well IRL. And you moved out? lol, i guess i'm falling behind on that regard, but that's fine. When i feel that the time has come, then maybe i'll find a nice place to live by myself, or maybe with a woman. girls? what are girls?

Now that you mention change however, i've been thinking about changing jobs. Sure, the current job i have pays more and i've begun to settle into it, i also feel like the whole thing is going to collapse soon, and my gut feeling is telling me that a job a Subway is a better choice than staying where i am. It's not like i'm going to suddenly quit my job next week or anything, quite the opposite. I want to stay until 2017, when i get 120 hours of vacation to use instead of 80. you know, 3 more days off so i can use them all up as i prepare for another workplace. Who knows? i might even be able to work at the new job while using vacation days on my old job. That would be pretty cool
