Before anyone starts having nervous breakdowns and expressing concerns that I might have been hacked, I would just like to state that NO, I have NOT been hacked.... and YES, I really did just delete almost all of my material from my account.

Before I get started in some sort of explanation, I would just like to say thank you to those who showed me support; Those who took the time to look into my actual work, and sent me messages and comments of true appreciation.

I had been thinking about leaving Buzznet for a long, long time now... for many reasons, really. However, I always seemed to find myself talked out of it by Steve, because he's actually a rad person. So I stayed for him, and I continued to post.

Unfortunately, sometimes good things must come to an end, and when certain lines are crossed (again).... sometimes you just 'gotta do what you gotta do.'

As a lot of you have noticed, I stopped posting so much here recently, and any footage from events and tours, I would post elsewhere--mostly my MySpace. At that time, I was handed a business proposal from another website... and who knows, maybe I'll still go through with them. It's kind of a slow process.... but after much thinking, I decided to go back to my "roots." Not just to my MySpace, but to my website-- my own server.

No more categorizing me as a "scenester."
No more asking me for tour footage and blogs, then not even featuring it, and instead, featuring a video of people shopping.
No more posting irrelevent things-- There is more to me than my best friend. There is more to me (and my work) than "just getting to hang out with bands, etc." There was more to me and my work than "just grabbing coffee at Magic."
No more being grouped in with Tila's Hot Spot.
No more having to discover that my MySpace bullitens/blogs have been copied word for word (even the parts I've added myself), and turned into features instead.

Thank you again to everyone who took the time to look deeper and discover that there is more...

Please come see me at MySpace: www.myspace.com/sarahdope

and

my website (which I will soon be overhauling, redesigning, reorganizing, etc): www.sarahdope.com

And please.... keep an eye out in the new year. Lots of cool stuff planned.

Adios... and have a good one,

(P.S..... I'm sorry, Steve. Lunch/dinner when I get back to town.)

Yeah... I know I've been gone from Buzznet for a long, long time. (Sorry, Steve). Not really sure about some things...

If you've missed out on my previous posts, you can keep up with me better on MySpace. www.myspace.com/sarahdope

I just wanted to take this moment to redirect all of you for a second to my friend Tim's Buzznet at navarone.buzznet.com... He's quite the amazing artist (a lot of you may already know this) and he just drew up one hell of a peice of moi. Plus, if you know the back-story.... it's even funnier.  ;)

Anyway, I'm still designing for rad people. Just recently got hired by a very well known pro-skateboarder to add to my mix. Nothing finished quite yet... so I can't make any announcements on who these people are just yet....

Oh yeah. I am currently in NJ/NY. I've been here for a couple weeks now... and will be here for a bit longer. Plus, in one week... I will FINALLY be taking my first REAL vacation (aka I won't be working AT ALL) for the first time since childhood. And where am I taking it? TO THE BAHAMAS. Yes, I'm excited.

I hope all of you are well... and if you celebrated Thanksgiving, I hope you had a great one!

Happy Holidays to you all.
