[NEW IN 2004]
The next year my illiteracy spread to the forums, where I worked on making signatures, animated AIM icons and sprite models. The most amazing thing about this year was Bitey Of Brackenwood. Probably the worst thing that happened this year was the Livecorpse incident. I didn't really know him or his flashes at the time, but Wallpaperman (a user I befriended that year) said he was acquainted with him, albeit for a couple of weeks. My animation skills improved, as I learned to draw better over the year, and learned to animate frame by frame. During my holiday in July, Wallpaperman snatched a daily 4th. This really surprised me, as I could only dream of ever getting an award. On top of that, everything was a race between us, and he just got way ahead of me! It took him less than a month to get another award: Turd of the week this time. I think that's the last award he ever received for a solo project. I also decided to finally submit some of the music I made in Fruityloops 3 to the audio portal. I believed myself to be a pretty amazing musician, but obviously had a long way to go to be like my role model (at the time): paragonx9.

[FLASH & COLLABORATIONS]
Worse than my audio submissions though, was the horrible taste in music of my audience. Some of these people even used my audio in their flash submissions! One of these people was Wallpaperman, with his Elevator Of Death. After thanking him in a review, we became inseparable internet buddies. Around the same time, I randomly contacted Anime_Pat (Now known as Godlimations) when his first movie Legend Of Xunmato was under judgment. I loved his work and wished to collaborate with him. I introduced him to Wallpaperman, and from that moment forward we were a team, though he proofed to be far out of our league. Together we created this piece of shit right here. Some of the audio I made around this time was never uploaded to the audio portal, but was instead used for animations (Wallpaperman loved using my audio). Murder For Hire was one of such videos. He didn't make that movie though; I did, as a failed entry for Time Trail III. I gave him permission to upload it for some reason I can't remember. Wallpaperman and me decided to join Newgrounds Battlegrounds, and ended up screwing up Luis' plan by submitting our animation too early (I think Luis was still a little bitter about that when I met him in Amsterdam). Oops! We really liked the concept of NGBG though, and kept it alive with 2 more submissions. Another of our collaborations was Knife Jam, where I got to work alongside of Mortalpoet for the first time. Also, I was pretty damn passionate about "Sword Of Worldbounds", which was based on a story I was writing back in the day. User 45288 helped me out with the voices.

[AUDIO]
In terms of music, I was always aiming to be in the top 5 of the week. Me and Ryeguyhead used to review eachother's music all the time. I also got in contact with respected Newgrounds musician Chronamut towards the end of the year. We often talked and I looked up to his skills. That's when I realized there was still plenty of room for improvement, and made a lot of progress in a really short time. I'm still thankful for that.
