[NEW IN 2005]
Over the course of the past year, my English improved drastically. In 2005 I put that skill to good use, as I became a thoughtful reviewer. I also put it to bad use, when I found out about a "Psychic Club" in the General forums, where I got involved in ways I nowadays consider to be unhealthy (I was way too naive at the time). Let's just say that was an interesting time for me. On a more positive note, I started hanging out in the audio forums more often, and that's how I took notice of Kingbastard. I fell in love with what I now consider to be "Oldschool Kingbastard" stuff (his music continues to inspire me to this day). Unfortunately, the audio portal was under siege of the feared "zero bombers", and it pushed some musicians to the actual limit. Kingbastard deleted his stuff more than once. Such a shame! As for my own music: I celebrated my 50 uploads milestone. This year I also noticed lots of Newgrounds users being active on other websites. I actually became a fan of Vinnie Veritas after seeing his work on Deviantart, and this is where I first heard of Lazymuffin as well! Deviantart inspired me to create art. Wallpaperman had actually shown interest in learning how to draw manga, and that's where I jumped on the bandwagon. I bought some books that taught me valuable lessons about proportions, bodyparts and angles, among other things. I made a pretty huge leap forward just then. Unfortunately, some of the music and animations I made during this time never made it to Newgrounds. I also got into Oekaki and signed up to 2-draw.

[FLASH & COLLABORATIONS]
Somewhere within the year, Wallpaperman and me were working on a flash called TV Party Tonight, along with some other animators. When the project was just about finished, Wallpaperman's computer crashed and we lost all of our work. So sad. Another unfinished animation I did this year included a humorous toon about hittler getting chased by a monster. Supposedly part of a collab, I never finished that either. Anyway, Godlimations challenged Wallpaperman to an NGBG, and I joined in to make "For The Love Of NGBG". Again, I used my own un-uploaded audio. Soon afterwards, we uploaded Fly High. Fly High still is one of my proudest works for some reason. I don't see why though. It was total shit until Mortalpoet saved the day. Again, I made the menu music but never uploaded it. Pot Story was made as an exaggerated version of real life events, as told by Wallpaperman and voiced by Mortalpoet. The annoying ways in which the characters spoke were actually quite common for me at the time. Me and Wallpaperman were pretty much used to having entire conversations that way. Towards the end of the year I started working on a video for Kingbastard's song "Back To The Front", but unfortunately stuff happened, and I didn't finish it until years later.

[AUDIO]
Inspired by punk music and Mad Capsule Markets, Wallpaperman and me formed an online "band", if you want to call it that. We came up with the name "Degradation Of Race" through the use of a translator, which became the name of the group. The music's just a lot of screaming random noises, with sampled guitars in the background and way too much distortion. Listening back to it always cracks me up, especially lyrics-wise. Oh, and then there's a song called MC Fool vs. Peanutman, which I cannot even begin to explain. Embarrassing stuff! All of it was uploaded on Wallpaperman's account. As for my serious attempts at music: I was really getting the hang of Fruityloops 4. Towards the end of the year, I got pretty familiar with all the VST, which is how I got much better at mixing my songs. I also downloaded and created my own samples for a more distinctive sound. Newshape took a liking to it, from what I remember.
