Mission Statement

OddTherapy.com is designed to be a safe haven for pop-culture of all kinds. Whether you're an artist or just a lover of art, OddTherapy.com's purpose is to provide an online outlet for artistic expression.

The first and main goal is to present a way for up-and-coming artists to promote their artistic talent. By submitting your work to OddTherapy.com, a special website will be created for the artist to help promote their talent (music, photography, writing, illustration, etc). Whether you don't have a website and need one or already have one and need more exposure, OddTherapy.com will provide you the type of "online-resume" an artist needs to help promote his or her material. What's more, it is all free!

The second goal will be publishing a weekly "online magazine" with an assortment of staff and guest writers. These writers will be providing weekly music/film/concert reviews, advice columns, stories, humorous diatribes, editorials, and letters to the editor.

The third, and most important goal, is to have fun and enjoy ourselves. This is a site by artists for artists, even if your artistic talent can be summed up in finger painting and being able to belch the entire alphabet from A to Z.

So, from all of us on the OddTherapy.com team, we welcome you with open arms and hope you enjoy your stay.

The To-do List...

Ah, I'm surprised that there has been so much progress so quickly! I am the epitome of the procrastinator, and without Justin's enthusiasm, this would still be nothing but a cheesy "under construction" logo... With that said, let it be known that there is still an infinite amount left to be done.. (hmmm, intimidating).... but the good part about that is that you will be seeing new sections and neat stuff popping up here and there. We want this to be a place that you will enjoy visiting... religiously. Here are the immidiate plans which you will see materialized very soon:

• Get the profiles functional! Right now you can see some information in the profiles, but they need to be better.... BETTER!!! heh
• Make the photo gallery module. Ah, everyone loves pictures... Especially with smiling faces in them! After all, many people's artisic expression is visual, so where would we be without a photo gallery?? No where! That's where!!
• Eat lots of ice cream. With scrumptious multi-colored sprinkles and caramel. Ever tried to eat a sprinkle by itself? It really doesn't taste like much of anything. I mean, if there even is the slightest bit of taste it's really not such a great taste. Maybe that restaurant had the bo-bo sprinkles brand or something. Ah well.....
• FORUM. We need a forum in order to be cool and accepted. It will be programmed from scratch, but that doesn't mean it will be a long time before it is here for you to enjoy! Occasionlly I get a huge burst of motivation to program, especially when I should be working on homework, paying bills, tending to my freshly wounded groin muscle, cleaning, showering, eating, and perhaps sleeping. None of those things matter when it's time to program. Code is poetry.

From the bottom of my left ventricle,
Your friend and lover of your mother,
