Out of high school for almost a year now, been working and not doing much art or anything. Still playin' the guitar. Picked up the piano. Both are going well, writing songs. Also producing a lot more techno/trance on my computer. Between work and music is training.

Training for what? Navy Special Ops of course. Yea, went and joined the Navy. Not sure if i'm going into SWCC, SEALs or FC yet but any way I go I get to play with big guns and blow crap up, WOO! Always good right?

So yea, that's my life so far.

I've been drawing on my tablet for a while now but I am still sucking pretty bad. I don't wanna put anything up cause it looks terrible like the crap already got up...I swear, the more I draw, the worse I get. Pisses me off. Doing pretty well off of my tablet though, pencil and paper treats me well.

If anyone has some tips I'd be more than happy to hear them. Besides practice that is, already do that lol

HOPEFULLY I will get at least SOMETHING up soon...it will probably be terrible but hell, I can only try right?

Meow, and Godspeed.

EDIT: OH! I forgot to mention how i'm doing with my amazing guitar!!!

As usual, shes still the schex. Yes I have decided she is a she...how you ask? Well 1, shes totally SEXY in all ways. 2, she screams really well like all females do...and 3, shes got a coil tap! INSTA-MOOD SWING! 3 perfectly good reasons!

Recently learned some Santana and Puddle Of Mudd. She handles both pretty well. I know she can sound A LOT better, I just need to improve myself some more. I had one of the workers at the store play her for a little to get an idea of the sound and hes been playing for like 20 years or so...friggin amazing! I am indeed jealous, that another man can make my baby scream and moan like that...yes, I said it. I am jealous over guitar playing...then again, what average guitarist such as myself isn't??!!

ANYWAYS! I continue to play everyday working and working towards being able to bring out my own sound. Its starting to come out and it isn't half bad. I just need to tune and refine it. My mum says I've got something special but thats just my mum being nice. I think its pretty dang good myself...who knows.

My brother actually started playing bass after I got him to watch BECK, the best animes about music, EVER. I haven't heard much of it but we're gonna jam next time I'm at his place which should be fun. We're actually writing a song for our mom, shhh don't tell! Actually I doubt you've read this far...and if you have, you have inhuman patience.

Well, hope you enjoyed the book LOL...

Farewell for now.

I got a my new guitar in WOOHOO!!! Its pretty much the most visually schextastical guitar in exsistance and its playing is better than schex. I swear its like it was made for me...when I hold it I can just pick out anything and it sounds great! Its like I can't play wrong. Mastering songs a lot faster too.

Anywho...saw Cloverfield today...was pretty awesome. Start was kinda boring but built a nice little basis so that you like the characters and then have their lives torn from your heart when they explode or get blown apart or many other various means...middle was great...ending was so-so I guess.

I got me a tablet so yea...I'll be putting up more artwork soon...probably...hopefully...possibly...maybe...

RAWR SAYS THE BUTTERFLY!!!

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade...then trade it for apply juice!!! Buwahahahahahaha... ok rly tho, I think i've had too much apply juice...its making me insane.

TSUZUME-SAN...um. HERRO~! ...Kei is kewl...I'm on DA now, yay? (Joor friend is scurry x.x)

Anywho...enough randomness for now...Man that hysterical mood icon cracks me up. XD

Dragonforce rocks,
Peace.

A Different Christmas Poem

The embers glowed softly, and in their dim light,
I gazed round the room and I cherished the sight.
My wife was asleep, her head on my chest,
My daughter beside me, angelic in rest.

Outside the snow fell, a blanket of white,
Transforming the yard to a winter delight.
The sparkling lights in the tree I believe,
Completed the magic that was Christmas Eve.

My eyelids were heavy, my breathing was deep,
Secure and surrounded by love I would sleep.
In perfect contentment, or so it would seem,
So I slumbered, perhaps I started to dream.

The sound wasn't loud, and it wasn't too near,
But I opened my eyes when it tickled my ear.
Perhaps just a cough, I didn't quite know, Then the
sure sound of footsteps outside in the snow.

My soul gave a tremble, I struggled to hear,
And I crept to the door just to see who was near.
Standing out in the cold and the dark of the night,
A lone figure stood, his face weary and tight.

A soldier, I puzzled, some twenty years old,
Perhaps a Marine, huddled here in the cold.
A lone in the dark, he looked up and smiled,
Standing watch over me, and my wife and my child.

'What are you doing?' I asked without fear,
'Come in this moment, it's freezing out here!
Put down your pack, brush the snow from your sleeve,
You should be at home on a cold Christmas Eve!'

For barely a moment I saw his eyes shift, Away from the cold and the
snow blown in drifts...
To the window that danced with a warm fire's light
Then he sighed and he said 'Its really all right,
I'm out here by choice. I'm here every night.'

It's my duty to stand at the front of the line,
That separates you from the darkest of times.
No one had to ask or beg or implore me,
I'm proud to stand here like my fathers before me.

My Gramps died at Pearl on a day in December,'
Then he sighed, 'That's a Christmas 'Gram always remembers.'
My dad stood his watch in the jungles of 'Nam
And now it is my turn and so, here I am.


I've not seen my own son in more than a while,
But my wife sends me pictures, he's sure got her smile.
Then he bent and he carefully pulled from his bag,
The red, white, and blue... an American flag.


I can live through the cold and the being alone,
Away from my family, my house and my home.
I can stand at my post through the rain and the sleet,
I can sleep in a foxhole with little to eat.


I can carry the weight of killing another,
Or lay down my life with my sister and brother...
Who stand at the front against any and all,
To ensure for all time that this flag will not fall.'

'So go back inside,' he said, 'harbor no fright,
Your family is waiting and I'll be all right.'
'But isn't there something I can do, at the least,
'Give you money,' I asked, 'or prepare you a feast?


It seems all too little for all that you've done,
For being away from your wife and your son.'
Then his eye welled a tear that held no regret,
'Just tell us you love us, and never forget.


To fight for our rights back at home while we're gone,
To stand your own watch, no matter how long.
For when we come home, either standing or dead,
To know you remember we fought and we bled.
Is payment enough, and with that we will trust,
That we mattered to you as you mattered to us.
