a few thoughts...
1. go read Ayn Rand - the fountainhead - there's this great moment when Ellsworth Touhey pulls Howard Roark aside after writting a horrible article about him. and he says... Roark tell me what you think of me and what I've done to you... and roark replies... "but I don't think of you"
honestly comments whether good or bad - don't really matter to me. What I do have is a close net of peers and friends that I bounce ideas off of - but mostly I have an honest love and belief in the things I make - whether for myself or for clients - and when people do hire me this is what they get - passion.
A few months back I sent over some sample artwork to TOOL and I phoned Adam, the guitarist and ask him what he thought -- he replied "what do you mean? why would you send me stuff you don't like ? why would you send me stuff that required my validation ? if you love it then we love it".
and I realized that if I loved... I mean truly loved the work that I was doing... then that was all that mattered and it would show.
after the fountain head... go read Napoleon Hill's "think and grow rich" the only true obstacles are the ones we place in front of ourselves - and if I stay positive and have faith in my work - then good things will happen.
and then people on this board wonder why I get great jobs. and people on this board will sometimes complain and have negative comments about others and the work they create - why would anyone want to hire someone who complains about others ?
in the fountainhead someone looks at Roark's work and says... who's going to let you build these types of buildings ? and Roark replies... "who's going to stop me?"
I love what I do.
I love my clients
my clients love me.
I love my family.
I love my friends and peers.outside of that... this is all just talk.
thanks for the continued comments.

Okay, I've got one....
A buddy of mine works this event every year for like the past 23 years. The State Highway Patrol is the security force for the event... these guys don't kid around, - except for Officer "Bill".
Officer "Bill" knows we smoke, but we are very discreet about it, and he's got no issue with us doing it, as long as we don't do it in front of him, (in fact, he says he will join us when he retires).
Anyway, one afternoon, we're coming back from our trip to the 'back 40' having a pow-wow and smoking the peace pipe. As we return, we pass Officer 'Bill' in his cruiser. My buddy decides to flip him the bird and gives Officer Bill the finger, then speeds away. We are on private property, on the event grounds, and not the streets.Officer Bill starts up his car and engages in a pursuit (at like 20 mph). He pulls us over, gets out of his car and approaches us. The dudes in the back, who are oblivious to my buddy's relationship with Officer Bill, are f-r-e-a-k-i-n-g-o-u- t.
The car reeks, we've just given the state boys the finger, we fled, we're loaded, beer in the car. They are so uncomfortable, it's hilarious.Officer Bill approaches the window of the car, sizes up the occupants, looks us all over, takes a huge sniff, and looks at my buddy who's driving and says...
"Are they freaking out yet, John?"
He answers, "Yeah"... and says, "Thanks a lot, that was a good one! We got 'em good that time"Officer Bill smiled, said, "Have a nice day" and went back to his patrol.

how come they say the water has to be boiled to 1000° instead of 100°?
i think this is an extract from the modern pisstake! as if kids school progs would show an experiment where you pour a jug of water over your tv when all you family is watching... good find though - remember watching that blue countdown in scholl b4 it starte! we all chanted with it!!!

My God people, chill!
I understand your curiosity, but I won't post something, making accusations, without proof - yes, I realize that many people will on here and many are just incredibly bored.
The question I asked was 'what should I do' not 'is this a copy' - I know it is.
I'll post when I find the other one, although I've about decided not to do anything.
FYI, when people start making threats because I don't want to challenge someone's design (for all I know, he's on here), certainly makes me not want to post just to satisfy people's curiosities.

the cheapest ever is a hostel called the generator in russel square. it's about 15 quid a night, i think.
the one time i stayed there, i had to share a room with three horrible boys. a texan, a south african and a norwegian. the texan snored all night, the south african nattered away in his sleep and the norwegian farted some sort of evil all-i've-ever-eaten- for the-past-30-years-is -salt-cod seriously nasty farts.

laughing at a racist joke doesn't make you racist
however, complaining about people laughing at a racist joke DOES make you a touchy, excitable little cunt.

I just threw up an away message on AIM because I can't concentrate on NT enough while I'm talking to people.
Somewhere my boss just got a cold chill.
