GIMP, is by far, the worse wanna be art program ever conceived. I could use MS paint and come up with better results.

Just spent 40 mins or so dinking with a image, I go to save it.. gives me a issue about jpg and transparency so I hit ignore thinking that it's simply is just going to flatten the image..

So I save, exit GIMP and go to look at my image.. and it's the top layer, only.

I want my Adobe Photoshop back! Damn linux :/ Time to try Mac OS, lol.

Anyone out there know where I can find a RELIABLE step-by-step tutorial on how to install Adobe Photoshop CS2 or CS3 via Wine (or equal) on Ubuntu version 9.x?

I really, really, REALLY dislike GIMP. It simply doesn't have the same working as Adobe and I don't really want to take the time to relearn how to use a new program when I just started getting good with Adobe Photoshop.

HELP!

So I should be back Thursday unless something goes wrong. Which I pray it doesn't. Haven't been able to test my new MoBo's Ethernet port yet.. pray praaaay pray.

Why is my life the way it is? Why was I born on this Earth to be the front row man to such pain, discomfort and disappointments. Everything I've gained, I've lost. Everything I've fought for.. has been taken away. Every step I make.. I fall.

I'm not happy anymore. I'm so sick of ignoring the fact and pretending to be happy. I don't like my life anymore... I've lost motivation to move forward. My family is nothing but a joke to me anymore. My social life is.. pitiful, and tho I have been able to reconnect to people these past few weeks it's no where near enough.

I want to feel loved again.. full hearted love. Like the love of a Mother.. or a Daughter.. that comforting love. I want to know and feel that I have someone to just not feel alone with. A shoulder to lean on.. cry on. I don't have that anymore.. and the worse thing is I downright crave it.

My mind is in a very dark place tonight. Between having a very disappointing Halloween, finding out those who I care most for.. don't care the same for me & my body deciding it's a good day to be in uncontrollable social-killing pain.. I'm just not happy.

I blame my cousin for all of this. I spent 4 years of my life, devoted.. I sacrificed my social life for her. I sacrificed housing chances for her.. Everything for her and what does she do? Moves out to go fuck off at her Mother's.. lie to me about why she can't visit (seriously, who lies about lying about being told to lie about going to church? ha) me when instead she just wants to go fuck around with friends. Also can't forget the boyfriends, smoking, parties, drinking and NOT GOING TO SCHOOL.

Ugh. Never have kids. They use you and toss you like a old toy... and they feel nothing about it.

I've finally got my computer to the point where I think it's good enough to go out and get my internet back. It's not working completely but with winter coming on quickly, me getting tired of treking between my house the the library I figured it's time.

So within the time of around a week or so I should be back and running. Which means I'll finally be able to knock down my number of Deviations and finally make some art.

I'm sorry for all those people in the past few months that I've done nothing but fav'd but with the very limited time on the public computers just loading photos takes most of the time, especially since they don't use Firefox locally so I have to use it off a thumb-drive, which just slows it down even more but that's better than having to trust a over used version of IE6!
