Feeling Lost and Slightly Betrayed
So. It has been quite a long time since I posted on this site. And now it is for all those that I left behind me when I moved away. Strange though that the entire reason I am writing this post, the person I thought I could trust, won't ever see it. And to those of you who know what happened, no, it's not her. It is someone I called a friend. Someone I had hoped that if I needed to turn to them in a time of need, a crisis of faith about myself and even a depression that was unexplainable, they would be there like all the times before. And yet. I was wrong... Foolish of me to think that those I open my very being up to would stay long enough to help me. That's not saying there are those of you I have opened up to who have abandoned me. But with this friend... They knew my very essence and my core. What I stand for and even what my soul is. And in my moment of need for their words to help me. I find that they have... Left. I was a fool. Why open up at all. So to hell with it. I'm locking my heart away again. I'm sealing up my soul. Those of you who know some of what I am, you will be the few to get to see that. I was a fool to trust anyone that much. And this is my proof. It's time I tore out my heart again. It's time I became the asshole I once was.

Sooooo, Been Awhile Since an Update Happened
Well then, hello one and all. Welcome back to your regularly scheduled programming. Been a long while since I posted one of these so lets see what I can come up with to tell everyone that is curious about my doings or lack there of in some cases. We will be covering these topics with at least a brief overview in recent doings in them all. These topics are Video Games (not that most care), Books and my Opinion on Them, Guitar Lessons and the New Teacher, My Slow Writing and Story Development, Cleaning and Helping With Homework (When it's Asked of Me). So let's just dive right into my first topic on the list of things I will blither on about like a total tard.
Video Games (Not That Most Care)--
So, recent games that have been released. Borderlands 2. Dishonored. These are what I have been playing the most recently. I did play Witcher 2 for a little while, but I wanted to play Skyrim so that ended up getting shelved. Then Borderlands 2 came out and everything else got shelved as well. I have already beat it on one character all the way through. So I guess that makes me pretty good at it, even if it did take most of two weeks to get there between helping Aly with her homework and watching Once Upon A Time with her. Now, in this game I play currently only two of the characters, which are the Siren and the Mechromancer. Yeah. I won't go into details. Most of you won't understand because I know you don't play games. I love you all but it's a lot of work to explain everything. And like the title says on this section, not that most care. Anywho, Dishonored has managed to pull me out of Borderlands 2 however it has not kept me from playing it at all. Dishonored is awesome. Period. Great game play but difficult no matter how you play it. Whether you play like you're freaking Rambo or you sneak across the map without being spotted like Ezio (<-- Main character of Assassins Creed 2 through Revelations) it is no cakewalk. Expect to be challenged and never ever expect to just waltz past the guards. It's not going to happen. Ever. But that's all on that front. Lots of stuff here and probably way less in the other sections. Somehow I get the feeling this is not right.
Books and my Opinion on Them--
So the books that I have literally read through in the last two months all include The Crippled God, Divergent, The Red Pyramid, The Fallen, Thirst, Glass Houses, The Dead Girls Dance, Midnight Alley and Feast of Fools. Now, The Crippled God. There isn't a lot I can say that I haven't already said about the author of this book series. Steven Erikson, author of Malazan: Book of the Fallen, delivered an amazing and truly stunning finale to his ten book series that captured me from the very beginning. He never disappointed and he kept twisting the story all the way through. As to all the characters that I loved that he killed, well, he had no choice but to keep the story moving right along. I can't say any more, it would take too long. Divergent, here's a book that didn't waste any time at all. It started and everything was going from page one. It kept you interested and it didn't slow down in the least. However in the keeping with typical stories of its group I was able to predict half of what occurred withing the first five chapters. Still, it was able to grab me and keep me interested by never letting off the accelerator. Which is amazing for the first book in a series. The Red Pyramid by Rick Riordan, starts off slow but it doesn't stay slow for long. It takes about one chapter and it too takes off and doesn't slow down. The story is written in a different way too which made it an amazing read and Rick Riordan delivers amazing amounts of Egyptian mythology with very accurate details that make it an even more amazing book because you can actually tell he did research into the mythos of this culture. That said I was not able to predict anything that happened in his book which made it a refreshing change for a young adult book to not let me foresee anything that was going to happen. The Fallen, not the greatest after having read to books back to back that didn't slow down any from about page 10 on. Extremely slow to start and when it finally did it was at the end of the book. Not a bad read though because it is an interesting story. That being said it, like Divergent, had too many spots where I was able to predict certain aspects and even if I haven't officially found out who the Angel is that sired the main character, I'm willing to put money on the Angel being Lucifer. Who isn't made out as evil as everyone else makes him out to be. But this was only the first book so I will see I guess. Thirst, an interesting take on vampires, but also a bit of a slow read unless you have nothing else to do. There are some aspects that are predictable but mostly it's in which character is about to die. Past that it is a whole different look at vampires. Which leaves the last four books. They are all part of a series. They are a great read and very interesting, also about vampires, but once again a bit of a different twist on them. These four books all take place literally one right after the other, with maybe ten minutes to a week between when the one before it ends and the next one begins, which is startling to me because they are so short. Maybe it makes them easier to read that way but the point is that they are still very well done and grab your attention from page one. Nothing slow about these books either, which made them awesome books. So, that's all that I have read recently, though I already have another book ready to be read, just haven't started on it yet.
Guitar Lessons and the New Teacher--
So I am still learning guitar, and I have also managed to write a song. I wrote the lyrics and everything, but they are actually in German. Flexing those language skills. I sing better in German, don't ask why, I have no idea. Anyway, not the point. I have learned how to play Bob Marley's Redemption Song, which is a great practice, and I am currently working on learning Somebody That I Used to Know. Little bit trickier but still a fun song to practice at. Now, as you can guess I have a new teacher at the school I attend. Now the reason isn't because my old teacher left. I just wanted a teacher who would challenge me with songs and chords versus playing out of the book all the time. That said his name is James. He is awesome too. I will get a picture of him next time I am in class and will post it here for everyone to see. He's a nice guy, just a little older than me, five or six years I think. Either way, he has taught me some useful tricks and even helped me get better at playing chords. I can actually swap between them now without a pause in most cases and in some I still do but like he tells me, practice it til I don't have that problem anymore, and I practice on a daily basis about two to six hours. I'd say I practice a lot. Well that's all I have on that topic. Short I know but hopefully I can post me playing again soon, I know everyone will appreciate that. Onwards and downwards my friends and family.
My Slow Writing and Story Development--
So that story I told everyone about months back. Well it actually has a first chapter. Though I still need to edit that first chapter to be exactly how I want it I have actually written that much. It took me a long while to choose how to start the story and even if I would start it in the arena where my main character basically grows up as a slave. Interesting but I didn't start there. I won't say where I did start, because that's a surprise. As it is, I haven't done anything else with it so that will end this part of my update.
Cleaning and Helping With Homework (When it's Asked of Me)--
So we, Aly and I, have moved into the new place. Which is much bigger and much nicer than the old place. I also helped with the painting of the walls and the installation of a lot of the cabinets and bathroom stuff. Not the point. So I do focus heavily on the cleaning of the apartment, which involves sweeping and mopping every week or two, which isn't so bad. I also focus on washing the dishes and keeping everything at least somewhat organized. I do a horrible job cleaning up after myself still but I do still work very hard at cleaning up everything else. I usually end up cleaning my messes up after an hour of rest from doing everything else around the apartment. Now, with the homework I am mostly checking papers that are to be handed in for grammar and spelling errors. Not usually a lot of them but they do occur, not that they are major. I usually have to read through everything twice to catch all of them. I also help her with her phonetics homework, which is more complex and not really worth trying to go into explaining because it involves a lot of symbols and knowing what means what and how you use them and all this other crap that just isn't worth the effort. I have never taken a course on this subject and yet I can do it faster and without near the trouble she does so I usually end up helping her and explaining how I got the symbols that I did.
Well that is all. I have typed until my hands hurt and I have told you every little detail that has occurred in the last few months. I know I haven't kept everyone up to speed but obviously I just did it all in the last hour that I spent here typing this. Hope everyone appreciates all the new information and I will post again next week, though odds are it won't have anywhere near the content that this post does. Alright, stay safe and have fun out there, wherever your out there is.
Video Games (Not That Most Care)--

A Whole Lot of Nothing
So another week is down and I am still not really up to a whole lot. Little things here and there mostly I guess, still mainly coping with the loss of my great grandfather. That one was a bit hard for me. My downtime has been spent either editing my girlfriends writing, playing video games or watching stuff on xbox live thanks to Crackle. All in all, not really a whole lot.
So my girlfriend actually has three completely written books that she is hoping to see published. At this moment she is passing them over to the computer and I have landed the editor job on her books. This is great because I get a sneak peak at what has been written since I have never seen it before but since she seems to be passing random chapters it's all over the place. None have been consecutive so far that I have edited. Past that she is really a great writer, but I haven't focused a lot on the story, just the little things that need to be fixed in it. Which isn't a whole lot really. That being said on to the next tidbit from this week.
As I mentioned I have been watching things on xbox live thanks to an app for the xbox called Crackle. I recently discovered that it has the full Ruruni Kenshin anime series on it. All the episodes which made me really really happy because I never did get to see all the episodes. I haven't gotten very far into the series yet, most my xbox live time is spent playing Gears of War 3 with my friends TorchedTiki and Bearlobster, both friends from back in the states I used to go bowling with a lot. On the Gears front not a lot of new info there other than the fact that I have gotten a little bit closer to another level online and am less than four hundred kills from getting a new medal. Not all that interesting really.
My stories are both progressing at a very nice rate. I have finally decided how I want to start my newest story but I haven't sat down to actually write it out yet. As to the older story that I have begun a rewrite on it is progressing steadily through it's third chapter now. I have even introduced the mage friend of the main character who I have actually decided to describe as my grandfather from my fathers side because of the simple fact that to me he is the wisest man I know in my life, and the character I am portraying him as is extremely wise as well. I hope he doesn't mind that I am doing this. It's my way of saying how much I love him and how much he has impacted my life. With that said that is all that I have done with my writing as of today. Maybe by next week I will have more done.
The last thing I would like to say is that I will miss my great grandfather a lot. I hope he has found peace now that he has passed and I know that sometime in the future we will see each other again. Thanks to everyone for reading and I hope everyone stays safe and has fun out there. Til next week, auf wiedersehen.

It Lives!
Okay. So I haven't posted in a really long time. But fear not, I have a good reason as to why. I had planned for this blog to have a lot of pictures. Well those pictures got moved to my portable hard drive so I could get to them faster. Only that kind of backfired on me for a little while. Now the reason I say that is because it stopped working for a little bit but as you can see from the blog itself and the title it is most obviously working again, which is nothing short of a miracle to me. So anyway, onto the blog itself.
So, this blog is actually from two weeks ago now and it is about an event that was held at my girlfriends college. The events name literally translates to Five Days With Our Earth. The event is actually a week long but that's details. The point of it though is that there are a bunch of people who come from all over the island to sell their crafts, be that homemade cakes, hand carved wood and stone, leather that was tanned and made into bags and shoes and even belts. There are also metal workers, and there are people who make all sorts of things besides that. I actually got a new rosary that I wear everyday. The guy who made it used these small dark and pale green stones which he put on metal pieces that make up the whole thing. The event was amazing and fun and the cakes that me and my girlfriend had from it were absolutely amazing. Now I'm going to post the pictures I have, if you can't see the animals too well sorry, I did the best I could.
This Picture is of the Arabian horse that they had at the event. There are a lot of animals and I don't remember all the names of them so sorry in advance for not being able to tell you all the different types.
This is one of the few cows that were there. I don't remember the species name but one of those horns is as long as my arm.
This was another of the horses, which type I can no longer remember. I took these two weeks ago.
Look, it's a sheep. I like sheep.
This was a mother cow and her calf, but as I am aware you cannot see the baby. So yeah, this picture didn't come out like I hoped.
The mule that they had at the event. First mule I have ever seen.
This was one of the goats that was there, he wouldn't stop eating so I had to take this picture as is. Him with his face buried in the food bucket.
These were some of those tiny horses, quarter horses I think, not ponies. There were ponies but I didn't take any pictures of them.
I took this picture because the goat has four horns. I thought that was really awesome looking.
That is one of the many many baby goats they had there, actually, that was the smallest one there.
Another goat. I love goats, they are so awesome to me.
This big guy was quite intimidating to look at but as my girlfriend informed me is actually a really gentle and sweet animal. He is a really rare breed of cow on the island that I don't remember the name of but just one bull from his species is worth $1000. I would say that's an expensive cow.
Another picture of the big guy. Turned out better that the first one. He didn't get close enough for anyone to touch him. He just kinda stared at everyone with this really disinterested look.
The huge cow statue that the school has for the Five Days With Our Earth event. That metal stuff next to it was the stage that the school set up for the bands that came and performed at the event.
Your common milk cow. This was actually supposed to be the first picture but since it got posted at the bottom oh well.
Well that summarizes that. That is all the pictures I took while we were wondering around there. It was a lot of fun and I hope everyone likes the pictures. This is by far the most I have shown of what I have done in one day. I just wish that my hard drive hadn't acted up so I could have posted this sooner. Well that is all. I hope everyone enjoys. Be safe and I will have a new post up next week now that my hard drive is back up and running.

Who Keeps Count Anymore?
Hello and all that fun stuff that you do when you say hi to someone. Anyway, not what matters at this point in time today. I am here and lets just get this done quick. So today is two important things, one is a birthday, the other is thirty-one months for me and my girlfriend. Yeah, both are huge. And I have already said happy birthday to my mom, and happy anniversary to my girlfriend so all in all those two huge things are out of the way. On to other topics now.
So last week I mentioned that not a lot of writing has been done. Well that has officially changed as of Wednesday, which is when I wrote the prologue to my new idea for a story. No I will not be sharing it through here. It's two pages in Word which means it would make this blog very very long. If you would like to read it let me know and if I don't already have your email address let me know that as well so I can shoot you it for viewing purposes. That said that is all I got done with it this past week. That's all the writing that I got done this week actually. Onward and downward in this case.
So part of today I actually spent cleaning around the apartment, which involved picking up the trash that was laying around, sweeping the floor and then mopping the floor. I also did the dishes which really isn't all that impressive. For that matter none of this really is important, but here you go. What I did today. Well, partly, the other thing that I did today was made a special gift for my girlfriend and I also made a list of songs for her to listen to as well. That was my productivity for the day.
Now in game world I have been playing Batman: Arkham City, but I have recently become stuck so I have put it on the back burner for now and taken up my online gaming mantle again. I was playing MapleStory but after one weekend where I pushed my character all the way to lvl 120 I haven't had that burning desire to play it anymore so I started to adventure into unknown territory. And thus I got steam, which has bunch of online games and some of which are free. So I have actually tried out DC Universe Online, which is fun but it's also got a lot of room for improvement. That said that's all I have done gamewise as well.
The only other thing I can think about to mention is things I have recently read which to be honest hasn't been anything for the last few weeks which I am dissapointed by. I haven't had anything to read for a bit and I've already read everything that is in the apartment. I am not a re-reader. I don't do that very often, so as it is I am currently out of new material to read, though come Sunday my girlfriend should be bringing new books for me to read so I will get to do that some more and I can update you on that front next week. Okay then, that's all and I hope everyone has had an awesome day thus far and is safe til next week. Have fun out there. Oh, one last thing, I read this while I was messing with a game and thought everyone might find it ammusing, and it will be slightly edited. "I want to go down on you and make you extremely happy. Then I will come back up slowly and screw you real good and hard. Yours truly, Gas Prices." That is all.
So last week I mentioned that not a lot of writing has been done. Well that has officially changed as of Wednesday, which is when I wrote the prologue to my new idea for a story. No I will not be sharing it through here. It's two pages in Word which means it would make this blog very very long. If you would like to read it let me know and if I don't already have your email address let me know that as well so I can shoot you it for viewing purposes. That said that is all I got done with it this past week. That's all the writing that I got done this week actually. Onward and downward in this case.

It is Here! Number Six and a Guitar Video
Hola! I am quite happy with how everything has gone this week and I am quite happy to have a video to embed into this blog a little further down. Anyway, since we are actually on this weeks official post here we go. It is week five but this is the sixth post because I gave a brief post earlier this week about my valentines gift which I will also mention a little further along, probably just before the video.
So first and foremost in my writing I have acutally changed a little bit of the details, such as one of the races names, because i wanted something more unique. I also was inspired by my cat to create a character that helps advance the story in a different way. Also I have not moved a lot on the writing as I go story. I have come up with three main characters for the thought out and planned story, as well as quite a few differences from your usual fantasy stuff, like the details to one of the races, and which race is actually the dominant one. There are a lot of differences that I hope make this story turn out for the best even if I only manage to write it and that's as far as it goes I would be very happy with that.
Now, in video games this week I actually let a friend borrow one of mine so that I could borrow his copy of Batman: Arkham City which is totally awesome. Probably the best game I have played in a while. I love the artwork for the game and it plays very smoothly. I must admit that there is a lot of side stuff to do and a lot of things that make it more challenging that other games. I have done a lot of side quest and missions but I'm no where near finished with it. The last time I checked how much I had finished I was at 30%. Long way to go that's for sure. In other games I haven't really done a lot. So that's all there really is to tell in this section.
Okay, so Valentines Day was this past tuesday and I hope everyone enjoyed it and was happy. I personally had a great day and I managed to pull my work together that I mentioned earlier this week into the song that I played for my special someone. Yes, it was a simple song, but I used what I had learned from all my guitar classes to write her this song. While it is simple to play it is still something I came up with based off the notes that I do know how to play. This all said I did not actually include it into the video which I had considered doing initially, but I decided against it because you don't want to hear me sing, I'm no good at it. Also at the beginning of the video I say I will show my guitar at the end of it but I fail to do so. So instead I have included a picture of my guitar for you to see in the blog itself.

Number Five, I'm Early I Know
Okay. So this is just to be a quick I need to get this out thing. I won't have the video in this post, but don't worry, I will later this week. I just came up with what I was wanting to for Valentines day. Since I have been learning the guitar and thanks to some more recent learnings I was able to come up with a simple note combination to put to a poem that I wrote almost a year ago. That said I am going to be doing this for the very special woman in my life. I know she loves the poem because it was for her, and now I can put music to it. The catch in all this is I gotta get down the speed with which I can play this by tomorrow. I started on it some yesterday and I did more with it today. But because this is all kinda new it's hard to swap notes really fast. I have mixed in some I already knew with some I learned from some thing that will be in the video this thursday/friday, whichever day I do my next blog. Be safe and hope everyone has a wonderful day.
