For a fortune he'd quit
But it’s hard to admit
How it ends and begins
On his face is a map of the world
From Yesterday- 30 Seconds to Mars.

There's always one of those things. Its a little thing. Usually so small it doesnt even make sense why it matters so much. But what ever it is, it irritates you to the point where you feel mental constipation. And if your like me it makes you want to scream.

Like I said. Its small. Tiny. So very non-intruding into your own personal life and space, that the very fact that it does manage to irritate you, bothers you. The fact that it has that sway over your mind is almost insulting.

Ok... Maybe its just me. Maybe I'm petty. I think to much. Expecially about things that bother me.

Its just so very childish what can get on your nevers sometimes.

But thats not what this post is about.
No.
This post is about the one little thing that bothers me.

At least today.

I was taking my time... wandering around the wallpapers part of the MyO... I needed a new wallpaper. I havent really been hardcore into anime lately... I'll admit. But I'm still drawn to the art work and I figured I might find something decent in the Misc. section.

Now... I could make my own... I have made a few wallies lately... nothing really worth posting... and more for my own amusment... but I'm also very lazy. At least lazy enough to let someone else do the making and posting of the wallpaper for me.

Now... I know its very childish... its very petty... Very STUPID. But heres what ticks me off to no end. I venture into the wallpapers section and all I see are the horribly lame and boring screen caps, resized images on a blank backgound, pixilated... well... not very high quality images....

I realize its all a matter of opinion.... And I know alot of my earlier work isnt much better than some of the stuff that is posted... Maybe its a bit of jealousy... a piece I might have worked on for a week gets less hits than a resized, pixilated, blurry screen-cap of Naruto.

I also realize that it may just be a beginer... But in all honesty... I dont know anyone that cant re-size an image. Not including my parents... who are technologically challenged at the best of times. (Sorry Mom)

Another annoyance is seeing something that is not only horribly resized and pixilated... but also clearly NOT official art from the anime. Which I'll remind the staff of the MyO... is against the guidelines of submitting wallpapers.

If its not official... Post it in the Misc catagory. Please.

Like I said... I know alot of it is just beginer work... or just for fun... and really... it's a stupid thing to get annoyed over.... But it bugs me!

I like to see some quality of work... If I wanted a simple piece that involved absolutly no effort... I'll make my own wallie... And at least that way I can tweek the colors and maybe give it a bit of a glow effect while I'm combining the layers. Some effort would be appreciated... as oppose to the simple slap and dash work that seems to be cluttering the galleries right now...

In order to find anything worth looking at, you're required to filter through this, for a lack of a better word and fuled by frustration, spam. And that ticks me off.

If you're a beginner... by all means post it up... But grow. Dont just stick with the same, simple technique time in and time out. Better your skills. Play with the image. Try out new ideas.

But for the love of god.

QUIT POSTING CRAP.
