8. Monty

Hello everyone,

I know I haven't been around or updating at all as of late, and I like to save that apology for another time. I'm here to talk about a certain extraordinary creator that has passed from our plain to the next. Yes, for those few who don't know, Monty Oum passed away on February 1st at 4:34 PM UTC. He died from a severe allergic reaction.

I just want to say to all of you who are still around, Monty, you will be missed. As I know, my memory is fading day-by-day, but Monty will be in my memory for as long as I can help. He will be the reason why I strive forward to accomplish what I want in life. No more beating around the bush, no matter how shy I am. For he is the soul reason why I'm here today typing this. For if he hadn't done what he loved, I wouldn't have found the passion I had for writing.

I ask of everyone a few things:

1) I would like to ask everyone not to remember him for who he was; remember him in your own way, what he strove for, how he impacted your life! We wouldn't want to dull down his memory with such generics when recalling such a person.

2) I want you all to know what you want in life and strive for it like Monty. He had wanted to make RWBY, so guess what, he made it.

3) And lastly, I'd like you all to try spread the teachings of others, so they may never truly die. We can keep Monty alive in our hearts as long as we do this. For if their mark and knowledge is left on the world, do they really die?

But please don't take my words too seriously, to the point of imitating him.

I'd like to say one last thing before I leave. Monty inspired me to be a pursue a field in programming. Video Game Developing to be specific. I saw the process to making the RWBY videos in one of the behind the scenes, and that sorta fired up my brain in ways to make it more interactive to viewer, and eventually the frameworks for a RPG version of RWBY were created. I now want to achieve this goal more than ever to show to all that Monty Oum was significant. That he was a great person who touched the hearts of millions.

I guess it's time for me to say goodbye once again, but don't worry, it won't be the last. Hope you guys/gals have a wonderful rest of the month.
