Hey, long time no see! You look good!  How have you been since the last time we talked?  I think it was some time in... 2009?  Wow time really flies?  What have you been doing with yourself since then?  Me, I graduated college and traveled a bit.  I still draw from time to time but I was at work the other day and something made me think of you.  I'm not sure what it was exactly, maybe it was something someone said or it was a combinations of shadows and light playing on the breakroom wall... You ever do a task that triggers a memory despite that task being nothing like memory at hand?  Well, regardless I think thats what made me want to drop you a line and see how youre doing.

I like to think the 8 years I posted here were good years I wasn't very prolific but I still checked these boards everyday. I learned a lot about art, made a few friends here who I have since lost touch with...I got a lot of great encouragement from you.  Our mutual interest in Freespace led me to develop some of my favorite artwork and I have you to thank.  I met you when I was 14 and that was 15 years ago.  Did I mention how time flies?? I look back on my posts then and I cant help but laugh or groan with embarassment but regardless I'm glad that I was involved here.  We should stay in touch.

Thinking of you,

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill
