**EDIT**
Adl does not endorse the use of drugs nor other substances, nor he believes it is appropiate for the normal course of the thread.
**/EDIT**

Problem-1- Ok here is my problem. I have a BMI of11%. I am quiet fit but lately I have been getting depressed because I am not finding enough time to use Maya. I find myself constantly worrying about the future. I am starting to eat bad stuff. Wel lnot really bad but I can't strop eating fruits. I mean I constantly eat Apples, grapes, Mango etc etc. comfort eating. I guess fruits are not bad anyway...OR?? Ok I will hit the gym again ( less time for Maya) Should I get a laptop for $3500 to spend more time on Maya?

Problem-2- I find that I take my camere averywhere with me and take photographs all the time. My fear is one day a girl will come and slap me because she thinks that I was taking picture of her ass (even though I am not) What should I do?


grrrr

The key to it all lies in equilibrium .. spoke a particularly happy adl as he chomped down on a box of Pepperidge Farm Entertaining Collection Cookies.

Do you have the 3500$? Do you want to spend them in a laptop? Then do! For it is in your mind that lies the answer. As long as you are happy, everything goes.

For it is for the future, that we think in the present ... spoke adl.

Cameras sure enough, should become standard attire in the future. Master adl for instance carries a SONY DSC-P50 almost everywhere he goes. Handy enough if you want to shoot some gals, always do ask first, that way they don´t slap you. If you do take a picture of her ass, please do tell her you never intended to take it, but by a mistake you did. Offer her to delete it ... and THEN tell her, "I´m actually very sorry I disturbed you, I believe I did not want to disrespect you in any way, but I´d love to make it up to you, would you drink a coffee with me?" -point to the nearby coffee shop with a straight face- (If she doesn´t, her loss, you´ll always have a backup of her ass.)

On a related note, master adl came from the beach today, and curiously enough had a chance to -somewhat- tape a car accident in which he was involved (along with his mom, who incredibly enough steered excellently AND WARNED nearby drivers about the maneuver she was attempting).

I made a small GIF as I did not have any video editing software installed at the time in my machine, yet however it should be followable. It happened in a tunnel, drunk driver raced along my side, then swerved on front of us, before skidding, and hitting a car on our diagonal front. Spectacular stuff. Happened in one second. Gotta love master adl´s mom ... and camera. Enjoy.

Camera is not a videotape one, but a still one, that would explain the fact that I couldn´t tape it well enough. I didn´t have the luxury to change cameras at that moment. user added image

I haven't touched Maya for days yet last night I dreampt that I was trapped in an overwhelming black void holding a giant shader node (sphere). Suddenly, the whole graph network was revelaed and I became severely tangled in all the input/output connection lines as I tried to fold them back up like a road map.

What sage advice have you por el tortuga, mi amigo.

Ah .. for you dreamed you were trapped, try to avoid gossip and intrigue ... spoke a meditative adl.

Steer clear from trouble for it is trouble that black brings on dreams, warnings against false friends does this sphere bring to you ... yet the confusing lines of the graph network might be predicting the recovery of a long-lost hope.

A road map you saw in these lines, which as one would expect might signify journeys and changes, the larger the map was in your dream, the more distant will be the travel and/or the greater the change. The more brightly colored the map, the happier the forecast on your life will be.

La tortuga va a cambiar su vida he visto, amigo.

ok adl. the first serious post of me in this thread.
I haven't seen my cousin for five years because she lives in poland. She stayed the last two weeks at my house because another cousin married. She had to drive home some hours ago....

I cried like a little baby...I couldn't stop and I am still crying.

The next time i will see her will be ... maybe... April next year.

I am really depressed now...I don't know what to do. I sit here and I am crying. I am listening to Trance songs on highests volume...my ears could explode but i don't care...music does not help at all...still crying.

Later I will meet a friend and we will go a bit clubbing...but I think this won't help...I hope I will be soon able to smile again.

help me adl....mate... user added image

maybe come on icq..

Adl oh! wise one. The one with the million year old brain. I come to thee as an humble servant ...on my knees for advise. Do not turn me away thee wise one. For I shall not sleep, eat or drink until you bless me with your advise. Here goes (In advance sorry about the NOVEL :-)
I have a small problem at work oh wise one. Ok my boss is not the best. Even though he is very good to me. Anyway me and the other designer who sits near me used to talk bad about him. You know how it goes.
Anyway this fellow designer asked for a payrise and the boss told him that if he can get what he is demanding somewhere else then he is free to leave. I asked for a payrise and the boss gave it to me and said that he does not ever want to loose me etc etc. Now this guy does not know what rise I got but he knows that I got it. Anyway he was very jealous. This guy has got no style. He copies everything. Never buys anysoftware ever. I do all the design side and he does the technical side mainly. Any way he always tries to copy my design style. Maybe I should be flattered but my personality does not give me this luxury. I don’t like like to copy other people and don’t like other people copying me. Offcourse being influenced by each other styles is another thing. He always bugs me and asks me how I made my graphic stuff/effects etc- Oh! Master I sleep only 5hours everyday as I spend all my free time experimenting and trying to be different and creating my style. I cannot give him my technique. So I told him that look create your own style and be original. Anyway he walked away and then I heard a huge BANG!! The guy actually went and punched his table very loudly. I did not really understand what happened. I though maybe he fell or something. So I asked him what happened. He did not say anything for 1minute and then he shouted Argh!!! You never tell me etc etc. I shouted back and told him to deal with it. He said I don’t want to copy you etc. So I said what is the problem then if you don’t want to copy? Anyway we don’t talk anymore only professionaly. My boss or no one else at work knows anything about this. Coincidentally partitions are being put so I will have a partition blocking me from him. Actually I like the way the situation is now as I don’t have to pretend to be nice to him.
Although it is very awkward when the boss praises me in front of him. I see hate and jealousy in his eyes. I don’t like this feeling. I am stuck with him. I feel like talking with my boss but we have too much dirt on each other. So I can’t really speak to my boss.


grrrr

dentista

Hi, oh powerful Adl. I would prefer to talk you in spanish ,but in deference to other readers ill do it in english so they can absorb your enlightened reply :-) (this thread is Really fun btw).

Heres the question:
My dentist has billed me almost 1000€ for removing caries on my theeth... leaving my left upper gum black for two days in the process. Now he even wants to bill me more and extract my "judgement molars" (literal transaltion, dunno if thats the word in english...)

Should i reciprocate and show him the true meaning of the word pain?

Will that take me to the dark side, oh great master?. Or is it fair anger and indignation?

Hey Eagle I didn't mean it in a bad way. I really got the impression that you had a crush on her. You know in various parts of the world it's normal for cousins to get married :-)
Not in my part though :-)

And another kick :-)


grrrr
