Flash Initiate

It was about time!!! I've been wanting to learn Flash for a LOOONG time now, ever since I got hold of the installer. I knew it was good, I knew it would help me, I knew it'd make my websites easier, flashier, better, and I still didn't take the time to learn it! Lazy putz that I was.

But now it's done. :)

'Twas the night of a Friday, when all through the house
not a creature was stirring, 'xcept me and a mouse

BTW, I feel bad 'bout the poor little rodent
cause he may now be dead by the poison I bought him

These past days I've been having a BUNCH of free time
just look at me now, @5AM writing a rhyme!

So I got the Flash EXE on an ISO file format
and routinely installed it (but I'd already done that)

Then I browsed through the Help Files, and I learned once again
how to draw, scale, and tween on Lessons one through ten

But on previous occasions, I'd gone through these lessons
and never gone farther due to a weak-will situation

But yesterday I stood up and decided "No more!
I will learn Flash today as I have never before!"

Again I opened the Help Files and was awed to find
whole sets of tutorials - they blew my mind

(I know, lousy rhyming, but I'm tired, all right???
It's 6 in the morning, I want to say Good Night)

So last night I began my Flash Initiation
read two complete tutorials filled with Tech education

Click after click the tutorials advanced
and with each small command, I became a wiser man

About 8 hours later, I emerged victorious!
I had read and learned through two complete tutorials!

Now I've finished a small Stiletto Flash ad
and a Flash jigsaw puzzle that looks like a program

Next step: Real Flash jobs! I have one, in fact,
a pending ed app a lady'd love to have

(The lousiest verses I've ever written...)
So yes, I finished a couple of Flash tutorials, though there are still some more to go. I almost can't wait to get started on the real educational program I was asked to do - it seems to promise some really good money!

That's all. Now I'll be leaving to a neighbouring piece of land where Rosa says lots of parrots go to eat in the morning. Have a good day, y'all.
