So.. hi..

3 min read
I've felt like writing this journal for a while. Just to get some sort of a closure here. 
So..

I believe I've come to a point where I am unfortunately done with this site. The inbox counter is at 4647 at the moment and as much as I'd love to go through all the artwork and other messages as I always did since day one, I don't think I'm up for it. It has been coming for a long time really. It's what happened with most of my sites, although I never thought it would be like that with this one. Whenever I started using some website, I always made myself fully catch up on the feed and go through every single message. That's how it was with YouTube, facebook, tumblr, twitter and so on. But eventually I would just give up whenever I realized that it was taking way too much of my time. Now I just check those sites every once in a while and I like it that way. I may actually come back here sometimes to check what's up, but the shitload of messages piled up is what's making scared of the thought. I don't want to miss something, so deleting everything isn't an option, but going through everything probably isn't happening either.

Anyway, if you want to, the best way to follow me right now would be on my facebook page www.facebook.com/IgnasRPhotogr…. I update it pretty often. Feel free to add me as a friend there too by searching for my name. Besides that, I might still post my pictures here sometimes. 

But really though, thanks for everything :) I was never popular here, nor gathered a lot of followers, but I made a few really good friends and I'm grateful for it. Besides that, throughout these three years of doing all sorts of things, this place had eventually led me to something I really enjoy doing. I really wonder where will that take me. 

I'd like to thank classicEIGHT for involuntarily bringing me here in the first place 
szpilmaus because of reasons. 
King-Doodles even though I haven't heard from you in freaking forever. 
cheethawolf for reasons too
And some other people who have been pretty cool throughout the years-
Imaginer-Fox
Lew-GTR
CrowSkies
Virensere
VERTEX768MHz
It's been a fun ride.

P.S. As much as it seems like it, I wouldn't take this as a 'goodbye forever' and please don't unwatch me only because of this : D Drop me a note (or a comment) if you want. I'll respond to those. I'll see you all around.

So the picture of a snowflake I took Snowflake by Ignas357 got featured here marcosrodriguez.deviantart.com… and then it kind of 'exploded'. Well, for me anyways. Got requested to be put up in a few groups, and in probably like 24 hours topped all the others that took quite a while for them to get on the top. It's currently at 38 favs, whereas my most favorited before had 24.
Interesting how the picture you weren't proud of that much got the most attention. Honestly, looking at the other ones in the journal, I don't feel like I really fit in there. I mean they look really professional and it's not a huge list either. I don't know. I'm still really happy that people like it though.

Besides that, I haven't really done much photography lately, but mostly because the weather sucks and I don't go to places as much as in summer. I've been also planning to write down some thoughts on Breaking Bad, but it's been a while since it ended and I'm just not sure I have much to say without spilling a bunch of spoilers, besides the main fact- it's amazing, go watch it, you won't regret it. I kinda wish I were you so I could watch it again and without spoiling it for myself this time too. Ahh, man. 
Also I need to clean my messages again! Sorry for everyone that I haven't replied to or commented on your art or anything, I'm taking my time with DeviantArt nowadays. But I'll check it out eventually, so yeah. 

Oh I also got an old stereo from my relatives, which I've been wanting for FOREVER. They didn't even use it. Spent one evening cleaning and the other, replacing old cables with new ones. Still have some stuff to do, but it works! And I planned to take a picture of it in one place, but didn't and now the speakers and the main unit are in different places of the room, so yeah.. I'll see. The thing could be older than me lol. Panasonic SA-AK45 for the curious ones.
Have a good day and good night.

Here's a quote from my last years journal:
"Dragon, you suck. I expected better. The next year is gonna be snake. I like snakes. Don't dissapoint me"

Well it kinda sucked.
Off to 2014!

My goal for next year is to get rid of the 883 (atm) messages in my inbox.

Not the best thing to find out just after you've woken up on a Sunday morning. 
You know, I usually don't really care about anyone famous dying, because it just doesn't affect me in any way, but.. this time I'm pretty sad about it. I wasn't a huge fan of him or the Fast and Furious franchise in general, but it's just that the thing was in my life for as long as I can remember. Back in like 2004 or so when all the tuned cars and such were still popular, when Need For Speed produced games like the first and second Underground, a movie like Fast and Furious seemed almost magical for us kids with our young boy minds. I still remember thinking how every green tuned car I saw in the toy stores or at a friends was a second gen Mitsubishi Eclipse from the first movie. And don't even get me started on orange Supra's : D
Heck, they weren't the best movies out there, Paul Walker wasn't the best actor either and not like no one else could of did his role in the movies, but even with the fact that I kind of disliked the recent ones for having more action than racing, they were still fun movies to watch. And I was looking forward to the 7'th one too since the ending of the 6'th one in the theatres. But who knew really? I heard it's still going to happen, but I wonder how will they pull it off.. Half or more of the scenes with Walker were already filmed as far as I know, but that still doesn't make it easy. We will see I guess.
What saddens me is just that when I look at it now, he seemed like a honestly good person. And really, I have never heard anything bad about him in the news, but then again he wasn't often in the news at all. He had a 14-15 year old daughter too and I really can't imagine what she's feeling. Let's not forget Paul's friend and the driver Roger Rodas either, who had an 8 year old son who apparently tried to rescue his dad from the car.. 
Sucks that he didn't have to die. I mean the fact that it was an accident. If even some minor thing had happened differently that day he would probably still be alive..
But it is how it is. 
Shit happens. 
Rest in peace, man. I'll miss seeing you in the future Fast and Furious if there will be any. I doubt it at the moment. Or just movies in general.

1. Have you ever considered leaving dA?
- Nope. Inactive accounts make me sad.

2. What was "the most illegal" thing you've ever done?
- Pirating :I

3. Do you know anything about Polish motorization? Cars, motorbikes?
- Well there were some Polish fiat's, like the 126, then the Polonez and I also know that they made some mopeds during the USSR times. Plus, our streets are full of Solaris buses, which as far as I know is a Polish company. I don't seem to know enough though, considering that I watch this guy :iconlew-gtr: xD

4. What do you think about Poland and Poles?
- I don't know. They're.. people? xD Some people here seem to have a problem with them that starts from history events that happened hundreds of years ago to the fact that they're like a large minority? in some places here. I personally don't care. Haven't met a lot of them either, so can't really say anything.
Poland though, is pretty nice. Been there a few times and there's a lot of stuff to see :)

5. Your opinion about euthanasia.
- If a person is really suffering from some disease and knows he will die soon anyway or could live, but do so in pain and without any joy of being alive, I think it's fair to let him make that decision. Life isn't life if you're never enjoying it. 

6. You see a boar in the city centre/downtown. What would you do?
- Take a picture with my phone of course.

7. Do you like coffee?
- No.

8. Can you swim?
-Yep.

9. What house do you live in? Detached house, multi-occupied house, apartment block (block of flats)?
- A flat. Or an apartment block. I don't see a difference. 

10. Why the hell you doing this? Laughing
- Because you told me to and threathened me with things D:<

I really need to write a normal journal about things.
