So I was walking home on Friday from school and I see, above my house, this huge huge huge cloud shaped like a bird... in fact, the first thing I thought was: Phoenix... and I sprinted inside and took a bajillion high-rez photos of it, which I won't share.

For some reason, I was staring at this tihng for 5 minutes or so, without blinking... and I just thought it was so beautiful, I decided to make it my... graphic.. I guess. My insignia. Ifyuo want a small pic of it, look at my sig :) Very small. hehe.

I think I'll base my site around this... beacuse its just... so awe-inspiring.

Thanks :)

I'm gonna design my site around it, but I can't get a good domain name...I reaaly wanted phoenixlife.com but it was taken obviously, I emailed the guy though..

Some alternatives which aren't taken and aren't too bad:

Ooops I lost the list :P I'll post when I remember them haha

We're not predators waiting to take some poor kids hard worked images. There are billions of images over the net you know. And watermarking just makes it better to protect. Stop being so silly gs...

That's the cloud you wanted to protect and cherish with your life? :lol:.

You know with photoshop you can just do about anything. Even remove small 1 colored pieces of text with "Eshan" on it :thumb:.
