lazy or burnt out?

Animation is the imagination laid bare for all to see, our own personal constructed realities shared with others, story telling in it's purest form, or just a bunch of funny shit drawn for people to laugh their arses off to. It's all good.

lazy or burnt out?

Posted by TheBoogley - December 22nd, 2008

I have a great idea for a collab, but no motivation at this moment to get it started...

I had a great idea for a christmas movie, but all I got done was a fifteen minute crappy santa walk sequence...

It's been a long year of working hard and now I'm lacking inspiration.
I think I'll take a rest, get out there in the real world and have me some fun, then when the ideas start flowing again early in the new year I'll come back and kick all your arses...

I'm still lurking around though watching movies and leaving stupid comments around the place...

MERRY CHRISTMAS YOU SCUMBAGS!

You need to reboot your brain. I recommend a load of vodka.

TheBoogley 2008-12-22 18:39:02

sounds a bit whiskey ;3

PostTimeskipSam 2008-12-22 18:46:24

What is this real world you speak of.....

TheBoogley 2008-12-22 18:46:24

It's this new game I got for my wii! :D

Psycedelic 2008-12-22 18:47:54

Motivation? Motivation is excitement. Get excited. I recomend some hardcore coffeine pills. And sex. Sex is good. And some LSD mixed with high potent psilocybin. And sugar. Consume it.

MARY CHRISTMASH, PINK BAER! (sorreh, forgot you was cllaed Boogley..)

OH! FYI, I DO ANIMATE!! Don't jugde my profile by one lousy stick-movie (Which sucked by the way. Lol). I'm into the same business as you, friend. Morphing and insanity. Yup ;)

MARRY CHRISTMA.... Yeah. Have a nice day.

TheBoogley 2008-12-22 18:47:54

I tried those things... now I sleepishes...

113420 2008-12-22 18:54:46

wait, no, i have no arse. no ass either. anyway find your inspiration so i can watch more paradoxes.

TheBoogley 2008-12-22 18:54:46

pair-of-doxes? what's a dox? Your spelling is totally icomenstruate to me. :3

KartuneHustla 2008-12-22 19:04:27

Sounds like a case of being burnt out. I was burnt out after Collin and the Wishing Tree (as you can see i disappeared for about 2 months + school and whatnot). You should totally take a break. Its healthy. Go out. Watch a few animated films you never watched before to get your inspiration back. I would check out paprika if you haven't seen it yet. It is surreal

TheBoogley 2008-12-22 19:04:27

I saw Paprika, it's freaky!
So I takes a break then... I wanna see Fear[s] of the Dark, I reckon that will get my blood pumping again.

Emanhattan 2008-12-22 19:51:55

the newgrounds has you

TheBoogley 2008-12-22 19:51:55

Are you saying that this is it like some sort of web animation virus?

Kweaks 2008-12-22 20:41:28

Maybe I could make something.
Once you see Kweaks actually finish a project, you know anything is possible.

TheBoogley 2008-12-22 20:41:28

Do it! You are my only hope!

Luis 2008-12-22 20:52:41

i feel kinda the same way.. i have so much stuff going on and i wanted to have my rwd part done on top of all my shit but i had a mental breakdown or whatever and ive been depressed bout it.

I think i need to take a break and stop myself from taking more projects no matter how tempting it may be.

TheBoogley 2008-12-22 20:52:41

Sorry to hear that Luis.
Maybe we should go for a relaxing walk in the park, then watch the sun set together.
That'd be nice. :)

Magical-Zorse 2008-12-22 21:14:46

taking a rest will make you more likely to not come back to flash

TheBoogley 2008-12-22 21:14:46

I don't think that's true. It's not flash, it's me. I just need some time to myself.
I am from Mars, Flash is from Uranus.

Koalafish 2008-12-22 21:23:13

Don't worry, start the new collab whenever your in the mood, no point starting if you don't feel like doing it cause then it'll turn out like crap

TheBoogley 2008-12-22 21:23:13

You just want time to get your computer fixed! You don't care about me at all! |:D

shaka-zulu 2008-12-22 22:18:18

I was looking forward to making a part for that collab :(

TheBoogley 2008-12-22 22:18:18

Keep looking forward, if you squint you can just see it's outline on the horizon.

Kyaztro 2008-12-22 23:00:49

Oh yeah, that's right, there's another world outside of the internet...
but I gotta say that santa's pimp

TheBoogley 2008-12-22 23:00:49 (Updated 2008-12-23 01:09:37)

A pimp? I guess he could be, he has a big bling belt buckle!
That's four "b"s!

Wurmy 2008-12-23 01:33:24

I don't care what you say, that Santa walk is awesome.

TheBoogley 2008-12-23 01:33:24

I care what you say, thanks! :D

sucho 2008-12-23 02:35:14

how bout lethargic or listless? although i'm really looking forward to the collaboration, the holidays are coming up and being a bitch to my schedule too. maybe its good for us all to take a break. nothing like the holidays to put our place in the world in perspective and cause mass depression.....which leads to denial and distraction - ie flash! yippee! the cycle continues on and on.

TheBoogley 2008-12-23 02:35:14

let me off this crazy ride! :O

IzakFlashMan 2008-12-23 03:09:32

Merry christmas you dick!! Ha, kiddin. I know how you feel though, my creativity and motivation run dry then I gotta get out of my little hole and enjoy life for a bit before coming back and trying again.

TheBoogley 2008-12-23 03:09:32

Go and fuck yourself in the Christmas hole!! :3
Yeah, it's good to know that a lot of you guys have the same experience.

Koalafish 2008-12-23 04:02:39

Maybe.... nah seriously I probably would have it fixed soon anyway.

TheBoogley 2008-12-23 04:02:39

and then it'll break down again...

SimonG 2008-12-23 04:32:28

Nooooohhh, don't take a break!

TheBoogley 2008-12-23 04:32:28

Only a short one, I'm not a robot. I am a human.

Vincoid 2008-12-23 04:41:37

WHAT? You and no inspiration?

Oh well, the longer it takes, the bigger the chance I'll be able to join :P

Merry Christmas buddy.

TheBoogley 2008-12-23 04:41:37

Merry christmas mr Pesci! :D

Teenplayer84 2008-12-23 20:37:58

Don't worry, Santa Claus will bring you a bag of motivation to help you be...motivated!

TheBoogley 2008-12-23 20:37:58

If santa comes to see me and opens a bag, and I look inside it and there's nothing there, then he says its a bag of motivation... I'll stab him in the ear with a knife of vengence!

El-Syd 2008-12-23 23:21:34

I know what you mean, some days I get nothing done at all, I haven't made any art (on paper) for a couple of months now, in the end lazy and burnt out are just kinda the same thing, it just depends on the persons view who's describing it, I'm burnt-out in my own opinion, but to my wife, I'm just lazy.

TheBoogley 2008-12-23 23:21:34

HA! Those crazy wives and their opinion that their husbands are lazy, I dug out five tree stumps in our backyard the other day to make room for a new shed, and was proud and exhausted, then when she came home she asked me why I hadn't done the other ones along the back fence.
