Description
Well, I jumped on the bandwagon and made my own "Shout it OUT!" picture with some of my main thoughts.
I feel kinda dumb posting this given that I'm fairly content with life right now. That and the fact that I really don't tell people most all of this stuff, I hope no one is offended, really. I think this would be great therapy when I actually get pissed or something. Now, I dunno, I'm not really angry at anything. I guess, looking at other people's Shouts, wanted me to do it. Like, if they needed, I could share their pain if they wanted to.
(ok I know that sounds super emo but, I'm a dramatic kind of kid.)
And yes, some may remember the sleeping Alex from his last iD picture. I originally wanted to just motion blur the back and the bit over me and call it, "Life Flying By." Then I thought of calling it, "Chaos in the Sleeping Mind" what with all my thoughts and sleeping. But now I've officially made it a Shout Out.
Now, this is an urgent notice.
I really am not looking for sympathy. There are no hidden meanings in here nor are there any secret suicide notes or anything. Seriously, just my thoughts on my life. Of course, if you know me at all, I'll take any hug offered to me.

edit: I changed some of the text. If you liked it better the other way I'll change it back. I just wasn't fond of how I said some things.

Thank you very much. Took long enough. So much text. I really shouldn't have done it in three layers.

No problem! and don't worry about it! It's great as it is

Well thank you. Finally someone looking at something other than my crap Torchwood acrostic. I'd get rid of it, but it's got like a hundred faves...

This is some powerful stuff.
I'm no where near brave enough to artistically realease all my inner thoughts.

I wish I had photoshop. I'd make a doozy of one now.
Thanks for the comment. It was pretty therapeutic. Plus it's also one of my favorite photoshop jobs...no one likes it...all anyone cares about in my gallery is my worthless Torchwood acrostic.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
if there was a way to send large programs on my computer to you somehow I would give you photoshop...
Therapeutic for me right now is Frank Warren's Post Secrets. I am doing an art project with high school students right now, making them draw out annoymous secrets about family and I did a few too...
Sometimes shouting stuff out in any way can help a lot. once it's all out for the world to see there's no need to keep it in anymore.

Aww, thank you dear. But it's actually kind of ok. I'd rather put it on a new computer anyway. I'm considering investing in a major desktop as soon as I can afford it. And I want hat bitch to be up to par. Then I'll really try to steal photoshop from some place.
Post secrets are pretty fun. Never did it myself.
The sad part is, like I said, at the time I really wasn't having issues. Those were thoughts in my head, but overall I'm not too ashamed or nervous about any of them. Except maybe the young guy one...

I think we all have secrets and regrets we face...but I don't believe we should let those things define us. A lot of it is self forgiveness I think. Human nature is to be ashamed at on point or another, so it's OK that you have one you're ashamed of. I sure as hell have a ton I'm ashamed of.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm ashamed of very little. What I do hide I generally hide out of sociological implications. The 13 year old comment for eg. Otherwise, I really don't care. I've had very open conversations about fetishes, sexual habits, etc. with my friends in public without an issue.
It's odd really. I seem to hide the things that "don't matter" and yet talk openly about ones that "do."
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
haha I am complete opposite. I can discuss stuff like that with my friends but it's usually pretty secluded when we discuss it. not so much a public person with that stuff
Not really sure if any of it should truly matter since it's your life. I don't think people should particulary care about what "matters or not" when it comes to another person's life, so long as that person isn't hurting someone I guess. heh

Oh but it's so much fun to discuss yiffing, Tentacles, and BDSM in the middle of a crowded cafeteria! Amazingly hilarious looks from the other tables.
Yeah my policy has always been, "If it doesn't cause harm or, (if masochistic for eg.) as long as it's consensual, it's ok.

Your really cute... XD
I can relate with most of those thoughts too...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Aww thanks. You're pretty cute yourself. (pardon if that sounds off.)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yay for composition...
and I feel really weird for this, but I have this impulse to say I love you... I guess I just like to see people being really honest, or something. I don't know. any way, I think you're awesome. I mean I think this is awesome, but being that it is about you, I'm making the transfer and saying you're awesome.
ok, I'm obviously tired and rambling and ... I'll stop now.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Its alright. That's very nice of you.
Thanks for the fave.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
hehe I like the I say FUCK too much, as I too, say fuck too much.
I just finished my Shout it Out, and you're right it is weird to make when you're completely content with life.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I know right? That and now, I have chronic editing syndrome with it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah last night I was like making my bed and came up with a dozen other things I could've put on mine...which is ironic cause I was really stretching to get some of the ones that are on there lol
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Same on all counts. I've already changed it once. In a way, its a good thing my new comp doesn't have photoshop.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
lol yeah my normal computer doesn't.
it is on my sister's though but I don't want to change it, too much rearranging and resizing words.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah. It was interesting with just three layers, any more or less would be a disaster.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
lol when I was doing mine I did all the text in white so when i went back to change the color it was pretty disasterous trying to work with twenty or so layers haha.
imma dumbass lmfao
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
oucha that does sound tiresome.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
On a technical note, I think that's pretty cool. The text gets a bit crowded and hard to see some places, but it looks great overall.
I've always thought these things were great ideas to do. 
The wonderful thing about these is that in addition to being personal and a great outlet, other people can often relate when they're shared. You get a hug.
Though if you feel bad about the porn, maybe you ought to do something about it. xD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
As far as the clutter goes, I thought it only natural. After all, who's mind is entirely linear or perfectly organized?
And that is certainly true. *hugged*
And lastly...never XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Huh, that's a good point. Well, it does make it more interesting.
aha.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Basically I can relate and feel the same about all of the stuff on there!
It felt weird reading it.....you're not psychic are you?
But good on you for having the guts to put that out there, kudos
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Trust me, if I were psychic, I would be making a fortune. It would be fairly well known.
And yeah. It really is a shame I was in a good mood. It really would make excellent therapy for one down in the dumps.

UR WELCOME...
YEAH, GO FOR IT, DUDE!
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Wow, this is so intriguing. i relate too alot of the 'shouts' on there, I say God i am such a fag all the time LOL and music is like the king of all drugs for me ^.^(well it still comes second too kingdom hearts
i <3 dramatic music, well dramatic is in Snow Patrols 'you could be happy' and The frays 'How too save a life.' not dramatic as in epic soap opera ballads lol
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
Meh, Hearts isn't that good.(your other top three isn't bad though)
And by dramatic I'm talking Evanescence, Within Temptation, Silent Hill (sometimes) and things like that.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Lol, Im addicted hearts, so much so that both PS2 games have 140+ hours game play each...And no i don't like the stupid gay pairings for the characters lol, There all obviously hetero
I never really got into evanescence, just never got around to listening to any of there stuff and i didn't like 'Call me when your'e sober', 'Lithium' was alright though
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Why do you need 140 hours of gameplay. Its not that long a game. Meh whatver.
Anyway, I can't stand Call me, overplayed and underdone. Do love most of the other stuff on Open Door.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
140 hours because i was determined to get all my characters too lvl 100/99 on both games and unlock everything.
I take it Open Door is the Album? and I think i might give it a listen if i get the time to download it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah, ok. I kinda lost interest after I made Ultima, and all that other jazz, and beat the final boss. Mind you, Xemnas is a pushover in the final final boss battle. Hardest was Xigar and Demyx. In just KH, Ansem is a solid boss battle I think.
And yeah, it is and I think its worth a listen. Youtube though, don't download if you might not like it.

actually Music comes 3rd behind kingdom hearts and Gay porn. eheh -shot dead-
