Well, here it is. I JUST realized that only three days ago was my fifth, let me repeat, FIFTH anniversary on NewGrounds. Granted I haven't been there for like three of them, this place just means a lot to me. If it wasn't for you people out there putting down my previous stick-up-the-butt personality and artwork back when I was friggin' nine years old, I can safely say that my art may have not imporved at all. Your unkind words went right into my little baby ears and instead of letting it get to me, I was all, "LOL CHALLENGE ACCEPTED FAGGET" and hopped on back on that horse to draw. Well, maybe not a horse (Although that would be a legible reason for my art to suck). 

I swear this website is the reason I'm way more mature than a lotta other people I meet my age, I just let all those bad influences and the need to swear out at a young age. Kinda like going through those college party years at a young age and becoming a boring adult. Except y'know, I still do wacky shinanigans (Did I ever mention the time I secretly filled everyone in my classroom's hood with marshmellows and laughed maniacally as they went to put their hoods up?) and stuff. 

Just the sheer creativity of this site has made an impact on my life that few other things of such genres have been able to do. Salad Fingers, Castle Crashers, Pico and friends; The list goes on. I continue to be inspired by these creations, despite not really sharing it on this website. I plan to be more active here now, especially after having some great ideas for comics and such.

Thank all of you Newgrounds folks for doing what you do.

P.S. Remember Plate Guys? I don't think anyone knows that THE Tom Fulp verfied it as a legit group.
