Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

long time no speak right? anyhow, i've been here in perth australia doing my missionary work for comming on 10 months now (time flies aye!) and for a while i am to be incapacitated :(

i'm getting knee surgery on the 6th of july for a conditions know and Osteochondritis Dissecans and i'll be out of action for a few months. no i'm not going home and no i'm not going to be animating, i'll be in an office for a while so whis means a couple of things:

1- i will be on a computer most of the time so i'll try and catch up on a few PM's... even though theres a lot.... *cough*
2- i have some art i've done while out here, sculptures i've taken photos of and drawings and stuff, so i can put them up on the sexy new art portal
3- i'll be in a significant amount of pain
4- pain

so anyhow, theres an update. Missionary work is AWESOME, i love every bit of it. Lot's of highs and lows and i'm learning a lot, and have pleantyof stories. and i even BAPTISED a newgrounder! (this dude, he's the MAN).

well, stay cool NG, wish my knee luck!

Hey if you're stuck in front of a computer all day and can't walk, that's prime candidacy for being a FORUM MOD!!!!

Jul. 3, 2009 | 4:14 PM TomFulp says:

* not intended as an insult to current forum mods, except maybe to Poozy for being stuck in a crane all day.

Jul. 3, 2009 | 4:29 PM Zyphonee says:

Oh dang, that looks painful, good luck with it.

Jul. 3, 2009 | 4:45 PM Coolio-Niato says:

How coincidental. I just had surgery on my knee this monday but it was for a vascular problem. And don't worry about after surgery... it's actually not as much pain as you'd think it is. You'd be on a bunch of pain pills :) But what do I know, its not the same type of surgery. So here I am, 4 days after, and I've been limping around my house quite fine really. :) All the best.

Jul. 3, 2009 | 4:59 PM Coolio-Niato says:

Oh forgot to mention, only thing you should worry about is if they give you a urinary catheter. That was *ahem* extremely uncomfortable.

Jul. 3, 2009 | 5:26 PM thepetergriffin says:

Welcome Home.

Jul. 3, 2009 | 5:29 PM Noel-Ranger says:

Jul. 3, 2009 | 5:52 PM ughanation says:

Hey! I remeber a long time you said you were taking like a year long vacation! Which kinda sucked because I just found your video and they were awesome! Glad to see you back!

Sucks about the surgery though. I hope they make it painless for you. Maby give you some laughing gas! That stuff is funny!

Jul. 3, 2009 | 6:27 PM Rockyusa says:

I hope it isn't too painful...

Jul. 3, 2009 | 6:49 PM F-REVOLUTION says:

The missionary work seems pretty awesome, and whoa! you baptised a newgrounder!

Jul. 3, 2009 | 7:06 PM Magical-Mark says:

3. and 4. sounds like a drag :(

So, you are just throwing names about and dipping people in water by now?
Didn't know you could do that after less than 10 months.
