Sin has separated us from our heavenly family. The price of sin = eternal death. Jesus paid that price for us by taking our place. If we believe and accept Him as our Lord and Savior we shall not perish but have everlasting life. (Google John 3:16)

I like your style,your ideas and your responds.And really the part I read many times in your responds.The part that says something like : "I dream about parts of it." I mean everyone has that talent,but just few people use it.And you DO use that talent.I also do a little story-writing in random papers and put them in my desk.And I even read a whole notebook full with a friend, it were all little stories about some fantasie-guy.But your last movie (teaser) called : "~snowsnowforlucy~" really set me thinking to write a big storie, I'm still planning a story and characters but maybe I'll scan some pages and send them to you.Well you'll hear more from me,I hope.

See ya! ^-^

I see you're working on a GREAT piece again. I cannot wait to see it. Will it be shown on Newgrounds? I sure hope it is. I'd love to watch it. I hope you won't run out of red bull and great ideas for new movies.

Yo, this is in reply to that review I left on the trailer in which u replied to...uhhm...ya.
You said in the reply "Be cool if you were there" and then u told me where.Lol
I'm quite a bit too far away to come, but I might buy a DVD provided it's not like $20.
This is anime though and I hate anime...good luck with all that anyway dude!

@Corky-D 10 years later and...not looking good, cap'n

Thank you. :)

@Gimmick @SpikeVallentine I understand if you don't want to talk about your past and leave it behind as a different chapter/life/etc., but if you don't mind, would you have made the decision to remove the stuff you made in the past of you were still an atheist? As a somewhat agnostic myself, and about the same age as you were when you said you'd found Christ, I'm curious - what is your opinion on art? Is it to serve your own interests, or those of others? Serving Christ seems to be, imo, a bit below serving your fellow people - even if in retrospect. In other words, if your earlier works gave other people meaning/etc., would that not be equally good? Separating the artist from the art, of course. I made a lot of stupid decisions in the past, and doing a purge is not something I generally favour now, regardless of who it is and for what reason.

KSI for example, removed over 600 videos of his because he thought it was "utter shit", without consulting his fans on it.

I removed about a fourth of my total because I thought it was crap (although now that I think about it, I would do anything to restore them as a sort of archive of my past - Rome's not built in a day!)

This isn't the first time nor the last that anyone will do a purge of their stuff. For most of them though, the reason is because they didn't feel it was good enough compared to the content they made in the present. And maybe some of them are actually true, who knows. But then there are gems that would never have been released, had they followed through (I'm struggling to remember the name of an author whose books were published posthumously by his friend who he'd told to discard. They were widely acclaimed, and you can argue about personal wishes but sans life and kin, who will be affected?)

I think I'm digressing.

So my question to you is: would you have kept the previous works if you knew the positive impact it made for others? It doesn't preclude your newer work either; or is it entirely divorced from everything else? Or, as an alternative, considering the anonymity offered on the internet: why didn't you adopt a new persona, instead of using the old one, like a person who has one foot in the grave?

To use an analogy: why does the old testament exist, if there's a newer one? Why do some still refer to the old testament, then?

I'm pretty sure you've heard this all before and I don't think I'm that original. I've not happened upon an answer, if you'll humour me. And preferably, no videos of others', please, I'd like your opinion if it's not too much to ask for.
