Rango

Rango starring the voice of Johnny Depp is without a doubt the most photo realistic animated film ever made. I know I could go on talking about it but seeing the trailer on the OFFICIAL SITE will give you a better idea what I am talking about better than any words I could say other than it looks like one great movie.

But getting back to how much detail the animators went in to just look at the detail in the wallpaper posted below.

I put myself in the group who has never been to a furmeet, never been to a fur con. The reason being is fear of the unknown. I for one don’t want to look stupid if I ever go to one, besides who does. But I find myself in a rather strange position on this subject. I am planning to go to my very 1st furmeet this April. In fact I have to go, the guy who is running this is going to sell me something for my computer…cheap. Therefore I have no choice but to go. It is the only way he is going to sell me that item.

I know what some of you say, as I seen the same things on the many furry forums I belong to. They are fun, there is nothing to fear. You will have a good time. But to be honest here, there isn’t much out there that goes in to detail, on what actually goes on in a meet or a con.

I also found that a lot of furs who been to them, but they won’t go in to any great detail, save for example like the guy who is running this furmeet who honestly went to his first fur con last year. The only thing he ever said to me was that he had fun, that’s it just fun.

Maybe the reason I feel this way, is because I had some really bad experience at a con once. No it wasn’t a fur con, but a stamp show. You see back when I was a kid I use to collect postage stamps. I insisted that my mother to take me to this stamp show I heard about from a salesman who worked in this store that I used to get most of my collectible stamps from. I still say the biggest mistake of my life. I was basically overwhelmed, I was a kid who wanted to know more. But I found myself in a world of hardcore collectors. If I told you the average price for a single postage stamp I saw, you would not believe me. Basically I was shut out, because I was not in their league of collectors. I wanted to go home. I stopped collecting stamps shortly after. Frankly I fear the same thing will happen to me if I ever went to a furmeet or con. I am just an average guy, I may run this blog. But I don’t even own a fursuit, or ever had any furry image ever commissioned. You could call me a casual fur at best. But my biggest fear is that I am going to find myself, in the midst of some hardcore furs wondering why I don’t even own a suit, let alone ears or at
least a tail. While others ask me did I ever have sex in a fursuit. I admit maybe my fears are running away from me. After all I am open minded, and I should confront my own fears.

I don’t mind saying this as a lot of people have the same fear. I am afraid of snakes, in fact at one point in my life. A sight of a single snake use to send me in to a blind panic. It took quite a few years but I can look at snakes, and not get panicked. Yes, I confronted my
fears and I won. Of course I will never touch one, but I don’t mind looking at them from a distance.

The same could be said about furmeets and cons, maybe that is the real reason I agreed to go to one. After all it could not be as bad as this church picnic a good friend invited me to a few years back. Where the church members wound up taking among themselves and I was basically left out. The food was good, but I was bored and after a while I left.

At least from me you can expect an honest answer and I will tell you all of my experiences.
