Well, summer has taken its position. Exceedingly long, and awfully hot days have cluttered my time, with work. And enjoyable breezy nights, where I sit and design, if I don’t go out to party that is. So here I am…. I actually have no idea where I am going with this thought, and I don’t have the slightest clue why I’m still droning about it.
My deviations are now at a quantity of 50, I think I’ve had an average submission of art for my time here on devART, and if some of you don’t think so, I guess I have the quality of my work to make up for that. But I must say things have picked up their pace for me recently. Anyway…
I have decided that the 2,000th visitor to my devART page will receive a free fully customized avatar, animated or not, designed by me, with what ever you want on it. Just thought I would be nice, or have some sort of contribution to the devART members. =]
Simply send me a note with a screen shot of the visitor number, including some detail of what you wish your avatar to be. I will respond ASAP. If no one has sent me a note within 7 days of being the 2,000th, than we will just have to wait until 3,000
, unless I decide to choose someone to make an avatar for, perhaps someone who really is in a need of a new one, but I’ll be the judge of that.
Anyone who would like to exchange avatars, meaning placing them in my journal, and vise versa, please simply send me a note. I am not really the kind of person to deal with that kind of stuff, but it really does have some sense in exposure in it. I’ve recently sent out a few requests, and I think it has assisted a bit.

To anyone with kids or grandkids, of any age, here is some advice that Bill Gates recently said out at a high school speech about 11 things they did not learn in school.
He talks about how politically correct teaching has created a full generation of kids with no concept of reality, and how this concept set them up for failure in the real world…
Rule 1 – Life is not fair get used to it.
Rule 2 – The world won’t care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about your self
Rule 3 – You will NOT make 40 thousand dollars a year right out of high school. You won’t be a vice president with a car phone until you earn both.
Rule 4 – If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss. He/She doesn’t have tenure.
Rule 5 – Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your grandparents had a different word for burger flipping – They called it opportunity.
Rule 6 – If you mess up, it’s not your parents’ fault, so don’t whine about all your mistakes, learn from them.
Rule 7 – Before you were born, your parents weren’t as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes, and listening to you talk about how cool you are. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parent’s generation, try delousing the closet in your own room.
Rule 8 – Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life has not. In some schools they have abolished failing grades and they’ll give you as many times as you want to get the right answer. --This doesn’t bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.
Rule 9 – Life is not split into semesters. You don’t get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you find yourself. Do that on your own time.
Rule 10 - Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually do have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.
Rule 11 – BE NICE TO NERDS. CHANCES ARE YOU’LL END UP WORKING FOR ONE.
What do you think? Seems pretty accurate to me.
