Wow, really this is awsome. I've tried many other communities to learn and such and wow, thank you all. This place definatly looks promising and I'm going to start hitting up all those resources suggested.
Still, I'd like to find some sort of mentor, someone I can communicate with one on one and pick the minds of a knowledgeable dom, it's a lot to ask from a total stranger, but perhaps sometime in the near future if it takes that long as I spend more time with this community it'll be doable. Trust me, I'm a pretty awsome guy.
