Artist's Comments

Yay, art. This is pretty accurate, except I left out the acne for everyone's benefit. And, I may have exaggerated the stubble on 12th grade me a tad. Artistic licensing though, so whatev.

Okay, this is one of these things that show how someone progresses through the years I suppose? Anyway, DESCRIPTIONS.

8=8th Grade for you geniuses out there. That's me in all my naivety and stupidity. Seriously, I was pretty damn clueless compared to myself now. But I'll get to that shortly. So here is this adolescent approaching teen...hood, and still very much into Pokemon, Jak and Daxter, Video games in general. I was still Christian back then, as I remember reading the Left Behind series and then becoming a fucking zealot, trying to convert my friends so they wouldn't go to hell. My mistake :). Anyway, I was a pretty big nerd.

10th grade was very different. The year before I had decided to grow my hair longer to look "cool" and "attractive" to the ladies. Needless to say, being a gawking, gangling geek with glasses (not shown), braces (shown =P) and who's voice cracks every other syllable, the hair wasn't effective. But, I was maturing a lot more, learning a lot about theology. In fact, this is the point in my life where I started to question it all. And then I found TAA on youtube. Boy, did that throw my world for a loop.

12th grade. Myself presently. Well, I lost the braces and now have crowns on my front two teeth. Lost the glasses and FINALLY switched to contact lenses. My hair is long enough for a pony tail (after TWO years!) and I now where a cap to keep hair out of my face. I'm supposed to be spinning it on my finger in the picture. But... well, not quite what I wanted. I'm much more mature and intelligent than before, but I wish I had these smarts when I was younger. Oh well, trial and error I suppose. Oh yeah, I'm also no longer aspiring to be an artist. That's right, I QUIT! I'm pretty decent, buuut, I have another calling, which takes precedent over doodling pictures. And I'm an Agnostic Atheist, which you guys probably don't give a shit, but since it's kind of a conversion for me from one thing to another, it's an important part of my life. And now I'm no longer a geek, although I'm still a nerd.

Geek = Socially awkward, shy, poor speaking abilities
Nerd = Pokemonz, Video games, other nerdy stuff

I took both speech and debate classes at school, and I'm a lot more charismatic than I was before (thankfully). And now... I seem to be bragging so I'll stop.

Well, first it was a Politician... But then I realized I'd lose my humanity by becoming one. Now... I'm not sure. I'm going to learn all I can about the world, economics, the military, scientific improvements, international relationships, theology, among other interesting topics. Maybe I'll be a revolutionary?

Why in the world wouldn't we want to solve world hunger, cure all diseases, and promote world peace?

Oh wait, that's right.
How would we make money?
