Hi all,
I'm 24yr old Male, working as a techie. I dont hv any training in photoshop. I used to do a lot of chopping while I was in my college. (One year back). My dream was to be a graphics designer(I was studying programming ). Now I dont have the facility to work on photoshop here. (I'm browsing frm my office ). Here I cant download or upload anything. I'm staying in a Bachlers den and dont hv internet access there(The Monthly bill burned out a hole in my pocket(''). So I have to go out for browsing.

I love Photoshop. Thats why i'm a frequent visitor here.

I’m 31, have two sons (Daniel = nearly 4 and Chris = 1), a beautifull wife (sorry girls) and 3 cats . During the day I conduct neuropsychoendocrinological (I love that word) research, and on paper, I should get my PhD at the end of this year… unfortunately, this is gonna take a whole lot longer , cause of the shitload of other work that has to be done here. I studied neuropsychology at the university of Nijmegen (any “Nijmo’s” out there?).
I lived in New Zealand for 6 years when I was younger, but the Netherlands is treating me pretty well, so I’m not waiting to move back.
I love to photoshop (actually PSP…sorry ), and most other pastimes have kinda slipped since I discovered PSC. Before PSC, I loved to read (e.g. terry pratchett), was a cinefilis… cinemafile… I liked to watch movies, and loved gaming (pc or board).

Come on people lets get to know...

WHO YOU ARE...

K....I`m 36...I`ve been married for 12 years...My husband is an OTR truckdriver, So he`s RARELY ever home...I have 2 kids ;Paul, age 9 and Kennedy, age 7...I`m a licensed interior designer, But I don`t do alot with that anymore...I run a small graphic design business out of my home doing designs for signs, logos, wedding invitatios, that kind of stuff..I live in a VERY small town in rural Utah called Green River, it has a poulation of about 900 people...I was born in Pasadena,Ca. on January 1st 1969, almost LITTERALLY in the middle of the "Tournament of Roses" Parade (took my parents 45 minutes to drive the 8 blocks to get to the hospital )...My favorite artist is Picasso...I also sing and do a little community theater here and there,Mostly musical...I am a Sinatra FREAK and My favorite city in the world is Las Vegas...That`s it...next?

I am an old musician. Played in nightclubs & casinos six nights a week for thirty yrs.
Played with many big name people ,but probably not people whos music you listen to.
Became disabled & had to give up the wild night life. Got my first PC a year ago & then fell in love with PS about 6 mo. later. Love it, but think I may have to seek professional help because I have become obsessive about it. Someday I will figure out how to add an avatar.

Hi
I live in a chaotic small country called Israel, i'll be 20 years old in 2 weeks...
I have been painting most of my life... i really can't imagin life without it...
my life has been mostly boring until a year ago when i was in a car crash and ever since i'm all messed up... in the past year i have been trying to find out what to do with my life and ended up studying computer graphics which i really enjoy...
In my more sane moments i love to read sci\fi and fantasy books and listen to Tori Amos...

Certain members have inquired about my rock daze, so, as promised, here goes....

I first picked up the guitar when I was 8, began classical training at 10, and continued well into university. Considered a prodigy, I was offered the chance to go to Spain to study with the "Masters" when I was 13. I turned it down. I wanted to be a rock star.

In 1988, after a few stints with unsuccesful bands, I co-founded "Beyond the Pale".

In the early 1990s, Montreal was experiencing a "goth revival" and our sound and image fit right in. We were considered one of the major goth bands in Montreal at that time. Funny thing was that I had no idea what goth was. We were asked to play at some goth festival after a promoter had gotten wind of us. I found out there what goth was and was hooked: the darkness, the vampires, the tats and piercings, the women in latex, the make up, the women in latex...we fit right in.

Goth did not have the reputation it has today. Although the look is similar, the mentality was completely different. It was not about hurting anyone; the dark lyrics were more about mysticism, self-pity, the-world-is-messed-up-I-wanna-get-off type thing. There was never any violence at any of the shows I attended. People were there to fade into the black and observe being observed.

My lyrics grew darker and darker, and I created a persona on stage that was equally dark. Unfortunately, this persona began creeping into my real world, and, although I was probably one of the happiest person in the world, before I knew it, I wasn't laughing anymore. At parties, I could be found lying in the middle of the floor in a scotch-induced trance, from where I would emerge only to look for the bottle.

I surrounded myself with self-loathers, groupies and wannabes. There was no purpose to anything save the band, studio and the stage. Anyway, I'll spare all the details, but all this lasted for about 10 years. At my final show, a good friend of mine decided she had had enough and decided to exit the world during our final set. I guess I must have felt it, because I suddenly got a feeling of repulsion as I looked into the crowd. Without consulting anyone, I approached the mic and said that this was my final song. My band members looked at me with deer-in-the-headlight eyes, but my mind was made up. We haven't really talked since.

I guess symbolically, I joined her when I "killed" the persona that had taken over my life. I've never looked back until now.



Wow! Sorry about that! It actually took me over an hour to write this and about 30 mins to hit the submit button. You guys must be special for me to share that with you!

Anyway, if you want to hear some stuff: www.angelfire.com/goth2/beyond_the_pale

I never finished the site, and I believe the only links that work are the song ones.

Sorry about the pop ups, but, hey, it's free!
