snippet from godix's journal wrote:I enjoy insult contests. Witty, vulgar, juvenile, whatever. Doesn't matter. As long as it's funny. Somehow spending over a week thinking about it just to come out with a badly photoshopped picture of me wearing a shirt saying 'im a faggot' just isn't funny. It's rather sad really. That's the best you could do? Really? What's the matter, couldn't bother google for decades old your momma jokes or something? I'm not insulted by this shit, being insulted would be like getting pissed off at a retard going 'i'm rubber and you're glue...'. Watching you just brings out that kinda embarrassed feeling people get when they watch someone prove themselves to be a pathetic loser. Christ, that's barely worth the effort to reply. Only reason I am is that I know it'd get pointed out to me repeatedly over the next day or two if I didn't. But come on, show some creativity. Or at least taste. Granted, I've seen your videos so I realize those things don't come naturally to you but still, give it a try.
I miss him already ;_: .... I still have the picture uploaded somewhere...
I'm at a loss for words. I haven't been involved with the community nor the art for quite some time, but I have to say, something of value truly has been lost.
"The people cannot be [...] always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented, in proportion to [...] the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions, it is lethargy, the forerunner of death to public liberty. What country can preserve its liberties, if it's rulers are not warned [...] that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants."-Thomas Jefferson
Srsly, I with everyone else. I am in total shock. On the one hand, I am expecting him to come back at any time, possibly even under a new screen name, and laugh at us for falling for that shit. On the other, I think the .org has died a little with him. I really don't think the community will be the same without him. ;_;
I always admired his sense of humor and way with words. He always had some sort of help or gem of wisdom to impart, even if you did have to chisel through large amounts of sarcasm and insults to find it. Even if it was as simple as 'STOP BEING A DUMBASS!!!' But ya know, sometimes, that's just what you need hear. XD I actually really liked that he never sugar-coated anything. And was humorous about it in the process. XD
I always just thought he was a pseudo-helpful asshole, but then, I got to see a whole different side of him that I srsly was not expecting.
I was one of the schizophrenics he tapped for that. When he 1st messaged me about it, saying he wanted to do a vid accurately depicting schizophrenia, that he remembered me mentioning that I had it, and asked if i would mind helping as a consultant for it, I admit, I was a little apprehensive. But, I do have a sense of humor about my condition (To quote Gary Busey in the roast of Larry the Cable Guy, 'Did someone turn on the Bat-Shit Signal?' XD), and however irreverent it may be, I figured whatever godix did, it would be amusing/entertaining. So I agreed, downed many drinks (surprise surprise XD), and told him my story. Everything after that. . .I srsly thought I was talking to an impostor logged into godix's account. @_@ He told me the reason he was making the vid, and I was floored. I would never in a million years would have expected that from him. And whenever he consulted with me, he was always very nice and non-invasive. Even kinda sweet. Godix and sweet, 2 words I never would imagine in the same sentence. @_@ After that project, I just had a whole different view of him.
And so, I would compare getting to know godix much to that of dissecting a porcupine. Painful to handle if you don't know what you're doing/aren't familiar with him due to his hard, spiny exterior. But once you get through and cut him open, he is warm, soft and gooey. And to many, you might not know what to expect once you crack him open. *^_^*
Anyway, he will def be missed. Though as sweet as teh "nice" side was, I think I will miss the sarcastic asshole side the most. He gave the site/forum "character". lol. XD RIP. *^_^*
Under the troll mask he was a great guy. I'm just glad I had the chance to meet him offline once.
