lol si that what im known as now? the guy that said T**T?

i mean that the usuall do u wanna eb the best then work for it thing doesnt work on me, cause ppl say it to me 'Dont u wanna be the best' and i think 'well, yer i do' but then have a realisation about how much work been the best envolves and how im much happier how i am now not doing all that work lol.

Having said that i have been top of my sport at one point before i quit it due to have no time to live, i trained 7 times a week for like 2-3 years, one point trained 3 times a day for a month, maybe thats it, ive just used up all my motivation.

i closed that design down along time ago, been playing wii golf and doing my wii sports fitness test since then (24 is my wii fitness age if anyone know what that is )

might hit the sack now, see if i can get up before lunch 2moro get some work done (its midnight here uk time)

I can see you have little motivation to type coherent posts. which is cool and all, because I bet you're happier not doing all that work, like spelling things correctly and typing real words.

Motivation is simply the lack of procrastination, makes things easier that way... just give up procrastination, it's hard work after all.

Without the internet I'd struggle to source/research most things and would spend copius amounts of time sorting through books/magazines.

Indeed, fish sticks dipped in coffee is best...

Matt

P.s. on the topic of dyslexia i came up with my own tag line for me lastnight, 'God forgot to give me a Dictonary' lol might have to make that my sig

Why do you randomly capitalize words. like "Original Vector Based".

or Fish, or Caffeine. ?

If it Has to Do with dyslexia Then pardon my Retardedness.

and slow down with the lols.

i dont know why i do it, i always thing stuff looks nice in title ect whent each word starts with a capital, so i type like that alot when im doing my graphics, my tutor has picked up on it too, cause i did a 9 min animation and all the text was in that format on the subtitles, its just something ive done for years and somethims it slips in to my typing on a day to day bases. its kinda just a habit that i have to do it, my MSN always has to have a cap at the start of each word.

there a whole posy with only 3 caps in the msn

Matt

p.s. finaly got illustrator open

p.s.s. sorry for the lol's that just my ages and been part of the msn/myspace generation
