suck a cock you dumb ugly faggot

I love the internet

Lol at above, nice...

lol at this

have a garage sell 4 cash

Actually I'm pawning off my old PS3 and PS2 games this week.

Why don't you freelance a bit and live the happy live of an indie flash developer? Or at least, until you find a decent job.

It's my dream to live off the internet doing what I love, creating things to entertain people.

I only make $10 to $30 to spend on a game or two on Steam every couple of months from flash ads, my site, and everything. None of my games have ever gotten sponsored too. Been thinkin' of "E" rated games I could make that may have a better chance at sponsorship then my older stuff. Be amazing to make enough from Duder Entertainment and spend most of everyday of the week havin' fun with it.

i hope you get some work man.. I dont wanna see a newgrounder homeless

Thanks a lot for the support. It makes me smile. :)

Your mother is your landlord? and she'll be throwing you off the garage if you don't pay one month? God bless the family.

It's complicated. My mother can't afford the total of the bills at the end of the month without my rent. If I don't pay the rent, she can't pay the mortgage and shit, thus we can't all stay in that house and we all move out because of me. With me homeless and my mom and sis who knows where. I haven't applied for welfare yet but, I'm worried because my moms my landlord they won't give it to me. Goin' to within a few days. Maybe even tomorrow too.

you might be eligible for food stamps. There are many people in the same mess you're in. I'm also in that mess... it's so tough to get a job these days.... :(

Their's a food bank and two churches that give away food weekly. It's hard to go hungry in my parts. Though I haven't hit 'em up yet. I've been thinking 'bout it.

I'd let you stay with me man.

Where you live? Though I'm confident I'll make it.

Thats fucking AWESOME man, props to those guys! I'm sorry to hear about your situation too, hopefully you can sort shit out as soon as possible!

Hopefully.
Thanks for the support duder.

that game was great!

i hope you'll get back on your feet a.s.a.p!!! :)

Thanks man. It means a lot.

That first comment made me laugh...ha ha.

I giggled too. :3

Hope everything works out for you. I've tried asking for donations and such before with no luck (not really a donation, since I gave stuff for any kind of donation), so I know how hard it is to get any kind of help on the internet.

My single parent can't afford to send me to college (while housing and taking care of my grandmother and great grandmother), yet makes too much money for much help from the government. With music being my career choice late in life, I've never taken a music class and haven't earned any financial aid. If I don't go to college, I have to find ANOTHER job which means I don't have the time to work on music and practice my guitar for more then an hour or two a day (Just to give an idea, I've been playing for 10 months while the others in the program have been playing since they were in elementary school). I also have to move out within a few months If I'm not attending school (which I can't afford) with no help from friends, because they are living with their parents/dorms.

Life as an artist isn't easy lol. Good luck with life, I've been working as an entertainer on weekends (clown) to make some pretty good weekend cash (~$35 an hour) and donating plasma whenever I can. I've also tried buying and selling stuff on craigslist.
