it doesnt matter if its boiled or fried...just Eat It

To those that wish to nag me.

I read the guys message.

Im not saying editing is life. Im justing saying it was like he quit because it got hard and over complicated.

It came off as giving up on something that he enjoyed. A slog into artistic depression.

He may not edit again but he will find something else...or be unhappy.

The message did honestly sound like a sad sigh of defeat.

I just can't image throwing art away.

Some say life sucks then you die. I say life sucks so kick its ass.

I don't think I ever even saw one of his videos except the Matrix Trailer.(I'll have to change that.) I just don't want see another artist crushed by the pressure to always do better.

It happens to many of those that are the greatest.

(I am referring to artist in general. Not just AMV editors, but a lot musicians too.)

To trythil this whole forum is irrelevant. At least I tried to figure out the question someone asked about the name Ermac.

Second posting a replay to someone's statement you consider so valueless makes you grand high king of fools.
I may be a fool. But it is better to be fool than the fool that follows another. :-P

You edit for many years then get swamped with alot of real life obligations and tell us if editing is still fun. :?

I imagine if I made 29 videos I would feel the same way as ErMaC...

When I first joined this website as a n00b, I was chewed out by ErMaC and unintentionally started a debate war. Probably the best thing that ever happened to be in order to grow as an AMV designer. ^_^' We'll miss your work, friend!

I guess this means we have to change the flame form.

ErMaC, you will be missed. Know this.

Who ever ErMac is, give him or her a retirement party to remember. Throw in some flowers and some cake, and give him/her an AMV creted just for that person. I suggest ripping another AMV a n00b made and putting the "We'll always remember you" tag at the end of it. Oh, and if that doesn't work, consult the a-m-v.org form. My favorite is "Lighting a n00b on fire". Sorry newbies, I got to have a piece of you! (Even though I'm a newb here, but old somewhere else) PEACE!

^That wasn't meant to sound like an elderly person...sry! ^_^
