Okay on testing it works like a motherfucking charm... amazing deformation, but there is a massive downside after implementation.

I am sure some would think, well he is going to Halloween Horror nights, since I am in Orlando... you would be wrong (granted I did this a couple weeks ago).   So am I hosting a Halloween party, no my friend I have no time for celebration ( Read more... )

I am currently making my set up reel, in the finals department, have job prospects lined up, getting much better at scripting.... things are welI.... On top of this I have been hearing great rumor feedback from on high about myself and a classmate about being the best in our discipline, the best the school has seen in awhile ( Read more... )
