Should i get Paint Shop Pro X2 or Photoshop Elements 7?
I'm not exactly a professional editor, but i enjoy editing pictures. I mainly edit anime pictures, but i also edit my everyday family pictures. I need some opinions on which one is better. I LOVE Photoshop CS4, but i'm not willing to pay $600 if i'm just editing as a hobby. Thanks. 
Both Elements and PSP will edit photos. I'd give the edge to Elements in this area especially if you're already familiar with Photoshop. You'll be able to open Elements and start working. Here it comes.....But Elements is lacking when it comes to art tools, vector tools, text tools, color tools (no curves, no Color Balance, no channels) and controls for effects. PSP has these things but you're going to have to learn where they are and how they work. You can increase the functionality of Elements with plugins, brushes, gradients, etc. made by and for Photoshop and you can download and install add-ons that take advantage of Elements ability to access some Photoshop functions that it doesn't display. Elements Plus is only $12 and adds a wealth of functionality to Elements.

I don't know what "edit anime" means but if you draw and paint, you should consider getting an art program. They are written to do only drawing and painting and do them much better than most photo editing programs. There are a number of very good inexpensive and free programs available. I prefer ArtRage (the Starter Edition is Free. The Full Edition is $25). But you can try them and see what works best for you.

Skateboarding, a Lifestyle not just a Hobby
Skateboarding looks like a hard skill to master to many. But this is far from the truth. Skateboarding is more of a lifestyle than a hobby. If you know any skateboarder, you know the level of commitment required to acquire the skills. You can usually tell if someone is an avid boarder just by looking at the way the dress, walk and talk. There is a certain aura around people that skate that really doesn't exist in anyone else. With that being said, we all know just how important it is to set yourself apart from the pack. Every one that skates wants to show off their unique sense of style and flavour. So what is the perfect way to do this? By investing and riding on unique skateboard designs and decks.
Sure you can pick up a deck at the local shop, but do you really want to be seen riding the same board as all the kids on your block? If you want to be taken seriously you need to get a skateboard deck that sets you apart from everyone else and portrays your individuality. Generic boards do not garner the respect that you are after on the streets, it is as simple as that. The internet is a great place to start searching for some skateboard designs that represent everything that you stand for. On top of this you can be sure you will be the only one on the block riding it.
Think about the first thing you notice when you see someone else skateboarding. You look at their deck don't you? You can tell a lot about a person by checking out their board. Are you going to really classify someone riding on a Bugs Bunny board as a truly credible rider? Probably not. But what if you see someone fly by and pull of a 360 heel flip of the railing at the local mall? Take a look at their skateboard and it surely will be a creative and unique skateboard design. Serious boarders have serious boards. The best of the best even have handmade, customized boards that represent more than their ability. Their skateboard designs represent their personality.
So now you are thinking, "How can I go about finding a unique skateboard deck?" Well the internet is a great place to start as you can be positive that you will find a plethora of options when it comes to your style and tastes. Whether you are looking for a simple and bold design or a totally off the wall colourful board, you are sure to find what you are looking for. And the best part of it all is that you can be sure no one else you ride with will have the same board. This is the perfect way to represent your unique personality through your board.
The internet is essentially the world's biggest skate shop. You can browse a number of stores, designs and compare prices all the while without the hassle of having to deal with an inexperienced pushy salesperson. And the best part is that you don't even have to leave your house. Take a quick twenty minute break from boarding, pick out a great skateboard deck and get right back out on the street. All you have to do is wait for your board to arrive at your house, unwrap it and then watch as people glare with envy at your all new deck.
Invest in a creative design and you are sure to command respect from all the boarders at the local park. It doesn't matter if you are surrounded by pro boarders or kids that are just beginning, your board will get you noticed and ensure that you get noticed for all the right reasons. No one wants to be the guy riding down the street on the Mickey Mouse board they got for Christmas when they were twelve. Your skill and style has changed since then and you should make sure that your board reflects that.
So stop getting attention for all the wrong reasons at your local skate park and get your hands on some skateboard designs that represent who you really are. Unique skateboard designs are a must have for anyone that treats skateboarding as a lifestyle and not just a hobby. Beginners, novices and professionals alike all need to portray their personal sense of style and your skateboard is the perfect way to do it. So stop riding on that generic, plastic board and pick out a skateboard design that reflects skateboarding as a lifestyle and not just a passive hobby.
