    My God! You know what that image was? It was a smilie that looks identical to this:

    I copied and pasted a message that I posted on another forum which so happened to have that smilie at the end. I normally upload my pics to imageshack, I just didn't see that the little smilie would be so vindictive. That made my day!

    Anyways about several months ago, I got the O'Brien book from a college Library. Since the copyright was expired I scanned the whole book onto my computer, and later on I sent the scans to Kirk Lawson to be transcribed and republished. Have you looked at the book yet? You'll find some things that you don't agree with, but there's plenty of useful information that works in any day and age.

    If you hear a voice within you saying that I am not a painter, then by all means paint and that voice will be silenced.

    lol it was pretty funny for sure.

    Hey, that's awesome you had a hand in getting it back into circulation. I'd be interested in reading, probabely moreso for the inappropriate stuff. I find a lot of the instruction tends to get a bit redundant from those days. I mean, it is interesting, but after you have read some they have a lot of similarities.

    What I would enjoy more are those insights and thoughts on other fighters, his likely racially tinted point of view of Johnson and feeling regarding it and their fight. Like said, because of the times.
