The World Spins Madly On
Woke up and wished that I was dead
With an aching in my head
I lay motionless in bed
I thought of you and where you'd gone
and let the world spin madly on
Everything that I said I'd do
Like make the world brand new
And take the time for you
I just got lost and slept right through the dawn
And the world spins madly on
I let the day go by
I always say goodbye
I watch the stars from my window sill
The whole world is moving and I'm standing still
Woke up and wished that I was dead
With an aching in my head
I lay motionless in bed
The night is here and the day is gone
And the world spins madly on
I thought of you and wher
The Presets = Go Hard, Go Home
Take me to the City Lights
Can't cope another night at home
I need to go where I can sweat
To hear things in stereo
Feels like a smoke machine
There is a disco ball
I never knew but now it stands
Think I understand it now
(I go hard
. I go home

Forget about the things you want
Forget about hopes and dreams
Focus on the here and now
You'll stray from what could've been
Boys from the fashion show
There's girls from the magazine
Take your opportunities
And be all you want to be
(I go hard
. I go home
.) x4
Cause sometimes we got to go
Where nobody knows your name
Leave all the things we knew
And le
Old School.
So I know I've been gone for a long time. I have lurked here and there, but for most of the last 5 years I've been M.I.A. on deviantART.
It blows my mind to long in and see "deviant for eight years", nine on Christmas Day this year. This little website has changed a whole lot in that time.
The reason I'm back though is because I remember having a whole lot of fun here on deviantART. From #clowntown to skype sessions. Fun community projects and contests and really cool people.
I'm getting to be an old fart. It is strange to me to long in and see people I've never heard of as senior members and most of the staff from my time included in
PaperFace FTW!

I'm not going to try and act like I understand the situation, because in all truth I don't. I stumbled onto this page by a link from Jark and I'm not here to start "having a go" and quoting bits like an arse who thinks they’re actually doing something worthwhile. However, I do view this journal to be you, for want of better words, trying to “get at” Jark.
I don't like to take sides in arguments, but I do see a lot of immaturity in this post and from reading some of Jark’s journals I gather these are the issues he is striving to point out. Yet, I’m aware that obviously he was removed from his position for a reason, whether the intentions were good or bad.
I'm interested in what is going on in DA, in fact I visit most days at least 2 or 3 times just to see what's new, but I want to know that when I do come here and in the event that I ever have a problem, that the admin are going to respond in a decent and respectful manner. This post does not show me that.
Ok, so getting to the point - there are without a doubt those that are going to fight for Jark through and through and that’s fine. Let them get on with it and don’t respond to those people – they will eventually get bored and move on. However, (although you are entitled to your opinion) I feel that all you’ve done in this post is draw attention to the goings on, thus effectively not remedying the situation but making it worse.
It tends to happen that when people respond with maturity (and that's how the admin should respond, because let's not forget this is a legal matter between admin/Jark etc which I gather, in the beginning was meant to be kept private/closed) they are also met with the same attitude from others. There are ways of getting your point across without littering your posts with attitude and sarcasm.
Hats off to you, if everything you are doing is for the benefit of DA, its community and the new direction it is going in (keep up the good work btw). But if all you feel the need to do is have a pop at Jark then I think that is an issue you need to take elsewhere i.e. directly to him.
Just my 2 cents – I hope no offence has been caused.
