(Vader's) 501st Journal-The Return
"It's been a long time since I've last visited my previous (online) home that was DeviantART. So many good memories, so many bad times. DeviantART meant a lot to me back in the old days, my (deceased) best friend introduced DeviantART to me. Met so many good friends, some that I still keep in touch here and there today...but I also wouldn't be surprised if most of my said good friends aren't around anymore. Not that I don't blame them, I've been gone for a long time, and from my occasional lurking here and there...I can tell that DeviantART drastically changed over the years. All because I've been so caught up competing with a certain Nintendo All-Star fighting game for over years, also didn't help that a lot of things happened throughout my life during the years.
...So why did I come back now? Well, truth be told, I miss DeviantART. I missed the glorious days. I missed some of my friends that I used to talk to. I missed doing stuff that I used to do on DeviantART. Those were fun times that I had during my late High School + early College days. ...And there is one more thing that called me back to DeviantART. Something that's been on my mind for the past few weeks, maybe a month. Something that I owed to my previous friends/fans, something that hit me "I have some unfinished business", something...that was long overdue to complete...It's been almost 7 years since the last update...almost 7 years of leaving it in the dark...almost 7 years too long.
Sonic's 30th Anniversary is this year...and in dedication to my fallen best friend who would of love to see it properly finished...It's time...it's time to bring it back...It's time to wrap it up."

I'm going to continue to do my best to be more active on DA.

Side Note: The STHMM series is still being worked on, rest assured. The past few weeks have been busy, especially when I wanted to work hard on getting the last of the money I needed to get a Wii U. I'll make another update on it in the near future.
