It's been quite a long time since I last used Newgrounds, around 3 or 4 years to be exact.

Time moves fast nowadays. Old relationships fizzle out, new relationshps spark, disasters happen and miracles too, interests change through time. I am almost an entirely different person from the 12 year old kid obsessed with Madness Combat that used to run this account back in the day.

With adult life catching up to me everyday, I grew nostalgic of the simpler times here and I decided to wipe the dust off my old account and take a trip down memory lane, if anything just to humble myself and remember my roots. It was quite emotional going back through old messages, I stayed up almost the entire night just reading old conversations with people who changed my life and don't even know it. People who I've never met and proably never will.

As good as nostalgia is, however, I am a firm believer of letting the past go. I am happy as I am today, the happiest I've ever been to be exact. My older self may have been carefree and joyful but he was as smart as a doorknob and that can be proven just be seeing some of my older reviews, art and posts. The older man I am today can only handle so much embarassment from seeing my past self, even if that time was some of the best years of my life.

I am a changed person now, a more mature one. I exercise both body and mind. I stay up to date with politics and the news of the world. I encourage others to be their best by being my best. I am more confident and extroverted than ever before in my life and I wouldn't change it for the world.

To wrap up, my years in this site were beuatiful, filled with memories that I'll never forget. However, I don't think I will ever come back, this chapter of my life is in the past now and I will glady look forward to the future and what it has to offer.

Goodbye old friends, all of you from Brazil to Thailand, and know it's you who made my childhood oh so many times better. I love you all, and I will never forget you.

Happy madness day everyone, I wish you luck on your bloodhunt!

How have yall been lately? It's been a while.

(Also happy b-day Doki Doki Literature Club, Sayori is best girl)

Happy Madness Day 2017 everyone, I hope you are having a grand time.

Sorry for not being here to post lately, I am making a new PC and 200% of my attention is there.

I will probably post something today or tommorow, I'll see what I can do.

Wear your seatbelts.

Ciao!

So many of you might know a user known as goncalves2341. He used to make Madness comics and artworks and was, for me, the person who insisted on me keeping my profile. Newgrounds for me was a simple experiment. I never had the intention to do anything special with that account.

Until Goncalves offered some help to improve my profile.

He made character sprites, artworks, comics and much more and all for no reason. I owe to him my profile's existence to this day.

So yesterday as I was browsing through Newgrounds and I got message from him and he said that he quits Newgrounds because he finally found how to make things on his own. I have to say that I am happy that he reached this far and he says that without the support of his fans he would have never done it.

As his friend I acknowledge his decision and I hope that ,wherever he is, he is happy with his current life. He says he is happy that his journey has came to an end and he asked me to give a tearful goodbye to his old friends.

For the last time, goodbye Goncalves and thank you for everything. You made me profile to what it is today and made many people happy with your art and comics. We will be forever gratefull.

Happy 2017 everyone!

2016 was both a great and a not so great year.

*During 2016 my account was reborn from the ashes of inactivity and I posted constantly new artworks to satisfy your appetite for memes.

*During 2016 I went from 19 followers to freaking 34! It might not be much but for me it's a lot.

*During 2016 many other great things happened to my personal life and I am very happy about them.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

But also many bad things happened.

*During 2016 my uncle died from liver cancer.

*During 2016 the singer who sang <<Last Christmas>>,my favourite childhood song,died (I think from an overdose).

*During 2016 Harambe died.

*During 2016 so many people died that I can't even count them.

*During 2016 Trump was elected for president.

But let's not think about the bad stuff,they are behind us now! Let's focus on a new year full of joy and optimism!

Have a spectacular new year and thank you for following me and counting on for almost 3 years now!

Your support has been really keeping me motivated but blame school for the lack of posts. >:(

Sorry for the lack of posts.I have been very busy lately.Freaking exams man.

Anyways I might post some new artworks today if I finish my assignments early.

Until then...

Merry Christmas!

I am sorry I didn't post anything for halloween but here in Greece we don't even celebrate Halloween soooooo...

yeah. Happy Halloween to all of you lucky people out there.

EDIT:

We might not have Halloween but we do have something similar.Its called Αποκριες.We dress up in any kind of costume (not just scary ones) and then go on parties.We celebrate this usually between February and April and it is a lot of fun.The sad thing is we don't go trick or treating :(

The almighty Cethic has answered!
