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.

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.

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.

This is link to the video, originally was going to embed it but this is third attempt at that so here is direct link to it instead.
The guitar from the video that you hear me playing.

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.

Four Down, Which Makes a Month Now
Alright then my dear followers and readers. Namely everyone I share with be it family or random strangers who read this. So this is my fourth post and it makes the fourth consecutive week in a row so I have obviously put a lot of time into this. Hurrah for sticking to something I started. Anywho, pestering from one source in particular has led to two pics that will show up at the end of this blog that will involve places I visited this past week, one of which involves a Smurf and a Jimi Hendrix poster, and the other invovling a picture and a chair that were in the place where I ate at.
Okay, so news from the writings that I have been working on recently. Chapter 2 revisions are almost halfway finished, which means I have completely changed and redone what was originally there. So much so that this is before a part of his life that actually scars him for life and disables him in a sense. But that is for later when and if I decide to share a tidbit of that story. For now, it's a secret. Also, on the story that I have actually taken the time to plan out and create a back story and history to a world I have finished fleshing out a re-done history of three of my five major races, two of which live and exist together, so that means I have three of four done. It has taken some time and I have come up with a way of actually starting this story and hopefully will get to start in on it soon too. I want all of this to fall into place first on it before doing it so I hope that what I have come up with so far will actually meld and blend to create a world that I am proud of and enjoy writing in since it is the first one that I have ever done this with. As you saw from the map that I made and posted last week I have obviously planned out the details of the world and even planned out territories and features to the land they live in. Also for anyone who was curious as to why I did the lines the way i did and not just shade the entire territory I hand drew the map and scanned it into the computer, thereby making it impossible to just fill each territory with color.
Now then, I skipped over games last week because I hadn't been playing them a lot but this week we'll pick it back up, even if briefly. As everyone knows my goal two weeks ago was to get my character in MapleStory to level 70, well I more than succeeded, I hit level 120, almost level 121. I haven't actually been on at all this week either. Last time I played was two weeks exactly. So where does that leave me with my guild I joined? Probably kicked from it but I am not totally surprised by that since I come and go from MapleStory very very frequently. Also, I am currently borrowing Forza Motorsport 3 from a friend because I do not actually have my copy with me. And that is the extent of my gaming for the last two weeks. Not a whole lot to talk about.
Now then, things that I have been trying to do. I have been trying to keep up with keeping the apartment clean. I also try to keep up with doing pre-cal stuff, which still gives me a headache even if I do understand what it is I'm staring at. I have also been practicing my guitar skills and have even learned the arpegio from a song by Adelle which is titled "Someone Like You" I believe and I have had a fun time learning it. I have actually just about finished learning my first book and I have had a real blast learning this instrument that I have always wanted to learn. I hope that next week I can actually post a video to this blog of my playing my guitar for everyone. I haven't figured out exactly what it is I will play, I may take the time to actually play two or three things, and hopefully next week when I do this I will have gotten better at my arpegio that I am learning to play that for everyone as well. I have learned a few chords and I have learned to play without using a pick this entire time actually. I have an accoustic guitar that I have been using and yes it is a very odd color before we get to the video next week. That is all on these randomly jumbled together topics.
Alright, so lets see, what have we missed? I don't really know what else there is to talk about. I have covered recent stuff with writing, games, a random list of things all at once. I know my Spanish hasn't improved a whole lot this past week. I actually plan on spending a lot of time here in the future watching a lot of movies in spanish with english subs. Which should be interesting since I have seen them all in English and never thought of watching them in spanish.
I have covered all that I can think of this week, so now I am going to go fetch my pictures that I promised and will tell you a little about each of them under every picture that goes up.
Okay. So this is obviously Papa Smurf. He stalks me. He is in the room where I take guitar classes. Though I'm not always in this room I've been in there enough to feel like I'm being stalked. It creeps me out badly.
This one is pretty self explanitory. Jimi Hendrix playing the guitar with his teeth. Far as I know the first man to ever do it. Not a person in the world probably thought of it before him either. Pioneer, even if it was a strange thing to pioneer.
Okay then, sorry, I know I promised a third picture but for some odd reason it is messed up. Kinda feel bad about that. Alright so that is everything this week. I think that once again I have written an even longer post than the week before which doesn't honestly surprise me but I really gotta work on setting a certain ammount to write. This would have gotten done sooner too but I had to leave it a couple times to play with the cat because he was being whiny. Now he has gone into the other room and is passed out either in the closet or next to the bed. I'll know when I get there. Talk to everyone next week and until then be safe and careful out there. It's a mad, mad, mad, mad world out there.

Back for a Third Time, I'm Dedicated
Okay. So round three and not quite as much to talk about and cover as round two but hey. I'm back for three weeks in a row and I'm still writing these things so it's obviously important to me like I know it's important to you. This past week wasn't terribly eventful but I have done a lot in a little amount of time on some of my writing that I had put aside for such a long time. I even have created and designed a whole new world and have a huge backstory drawn up about how the world has gotten the way it is now in that story. I have a main character and have a great idea on how to start the story. I haven't started on it though. I've been too busy on an older piece that I am currently revising and making longer than it originally was. Which is something for me because I hate doing that with any of my works. I prefer the original versions of everything I write.
So I am about half way through chapter two revisions for the old story and I am having fun with it. A lot of fighting, but it is all sparring. No blood and death, just a lot of things that are being settled in a specific manner. The main character I named Drake, which was when I was younger. I came up with this four or five years ago so I wasn't much younger but it sounded cool to me at the time and I've stuck with it because it's different in it's own way. In this story I don't have any backstory drawn up or even remotely ready to go for when it does occur. This one is just forming as it goes. Everything that is being written is all what I come up with on the fly. I like it because it keeps me thinking while I'm writing and it turns it into a challenge when I have to introduce a new character and actually come up with a name for them. No characters have a planned story to them and if they become important enough they will have a scene with the main character that will likely cover a chapter telling their story that will be made up on the spot. I know my sister probably doesn't agree with that writing idea but it works for me so I'm going to stick with it for now on this story.
Now this other story I am beginning to develop. I haven't even began to write any of it. All I have are the races that are in my world, the landscape and the map of the continent, which took many days of work to decide on how I wanted it to be, and the current standing of the races. I have also decided on a main character, who is completely non-traditional for fantasy stories, or at least, I haven't seen a fantasy story with one of their race as a hero. Everything I have done for this one has been planned out, even the elements and what each god in the story represents. I have slowly ground out the backstory of the main character, but I haven't shared that bit with anyone yet and don't plan on it for a while. I have also figured out how he is going to leave where he is currently at, which will be different than most other stories too I hope. The history of the world and what goes on in it has also been planned out, including the myth of a human town existing near the borders of another race, that does exist but the other humans are convinced it's a lie. The ones that don't know about it live on three islands off the west coast and are more like the ancient Norse Vikings. I like that idea and I'm going with it. I haven't decided if I'm going to go with there being werewolves and vampires in this story or not. I might just use werewolves because frankly I'm quite tired of vampires. This map I have made also shows the territory of the races, the line of where the peaks of the mountains run, the rivers, the lakes, the capitals and all other cities that belong to each race. On it also appears former human cities as well. Which gets explained in the story as it progresses. All in all I have a lot of ground work and no actual story. But I have spent about two weeks planning all of this before I finally yesterday decided on the main character, his race and how it all starts out. I would like to thank Rich Burlew who actually showed me this idea on his website under the gaming section, and that web site is called this one here, http://www.giantitp.com/. His articles in that section helped to inspire me and actually made me sit down and think out every little detail of what I was going to do and how I was going to do it. Thanks to this mans guides I made my decisions and even made a world I don't think even I know everything about. This should make the writing process that much more fun for me.
Now, as to other things that I have done recently. I have finished reading both Clockwork Angel and City of Fallen Angels by Cassandra Clare. The Clockwork Angel book is the first in the prequel series to the Mortal Instruments series. Both are actually really good books, but the Clockwork Angel one left something to be desired. I enjoy her writing but I don't think it was her best work so far. In City of Fallen Angels she picks up a few weeks after the end of the third book in the Mortal Instruments series but to be totally honest as much as I enjoyed it I don't think it should have been written. The third book in the series has a very final tone at the end of it. She does a good job with the story but it deffinitely could have been left alone and I wouldn't have complained one bit.
Games, I haven't played a lot of 360 in the last month, mostly I get on briefly when I have an urge to play and by the time I get the system turned on I'm no longer in the mood to play. However I have been playing the game MapleStory quite a lot lately. I made a new friend today who lives in Australia, which I think is cool. I also got my character I mentioned last week all the way up to level 120, and I am 68% of the way to my next level. Max level is 200 so I have a long climb left to go. I have also joined a guild in the game that I am having fun in and I'm even trying to do some stuff in the game so I can do stuff with the guild. I also have two other characters I am working on leveling up, one of which uses a canon as his weapon, and the other uses dual crossbows. Can't beat that can I? The main thing I am focused on is just having fun. I played Spore some earlier today too, which was actually as fun as I remember it being. I actually have a new game I'm getting ready to try out and I hope that I actually enjoy it. I don't know if I will or not though. That's it on games.
This past week I have seen two movies both of which were actually really really good. Sunday night I saw the new Underworld Awakening which I have to admit for it taking such a long time they made one awesome story and did a really great job with that movie. It was such a complex story in that movie that it was actually so much better than a lot of newer movies that are so easily predicted. The other one I saw was tonight and that movie was the new Daniel Radcliffe movie The Lady in Black. I didn't know a single thing about the movie but I will say he may be Harry Potter but I will tell you right now that is not the only character he can be. He was brilliant as Arthur Kipp in that movie. I also learned tonight that this movie is a remake from a 1989 movie. I don't know how acurate it is to the original but I know he did a stunning job in that movie. I strongly recomend this movie, it is a good movie. A couple things jump out at you but for the most part it is a very good movie, though it is very dark. I say dark as in there are a lot of shadows and the story is a little dark in its own right. Well, not a little dark, very dark.
So I am about half way through chapter two revisions for the old story and I am having fun with it. A lot of fighting, but it is all sparring.

Okay. So this turned out better than I hoped. So far each week has gotten progresively longer. I hope this doesn't happen next week or I'll have a cramp so bad in my arms I won't be able to move my fingers. Anyway this is everything recent that has happened to me and this is where I will finish this off. I'm going to post the picture of my map that I have so painstakingly worked on and I hope that everyone will be pleasantly surprised by the detail I went into to make this map. Talk to everyone in another week with more news on how things have been and more updates on other tidbits in my Life.

Well, Lets See How This One Goes
Alright then. It's 1:38 in the morning and I'm going to bed after this. Was up tinkering around hoping I could get something done in a game I play called MapleStory, but due to server instability no such luck. I got a quest finished by some miracle but didn't get it turned in. It crashed after I looted the item I needed.
Okay, part one, current situation. I am helping around apartment and cleaning dishes a LOT. I also sweep up around the apartment and actually do need to mop. I'll have to sweep again first, since our cat Inesh, who I will post pictures of at a later date sheds like crazy. If I had to give you an idea of who Inesh looks like, well, Kit. He is literally a clone of her. He has Samsons playfulness and Poons brooding nature. He loves attention much like Jasmine and from Delilahs traits its how when he wants attention he comes to you and when he doesn't he runs away from you. He also rarely makes any noise when purring. But thats what's going on right now. That and the fact I should be in bed.
Part two, guitar classes. So I am still learning the guitar and I have reached the point where I am playing multiple notes at once, though I am still a bit slow I am getting better. Hopefully once I master it I can master that Mozart piece in the back of my book. I have also learned the into to Ozzy's Crazy Train which took all of two minutes for me to play as fast as it is in the song. I love learning how to play the guitar but my fingers have callused over so I don't really feel anymore with the tips of my fingers. Something I expected and don't regret at all.
Part three, games and other activities. Currently I am playing many different games, including but not limited to Gears of War 3, Lost Odyssey, Call of Duty: Black Ops, Dance Central 1&2 (as mentioned previously), Spore, and as I was saying earlier, the free mmorpg MapleStory. No I didn't write that wrong either, that's how it's meant to be written. So I have already finished the GoW 3 storyline and I am currently level 60 or 61 on the online portion of the game. I am about 600 kills in it from getting the gold sawed-off medal also. In Lost Odyssey I am on disc 2 of 4, which I think is good for only 11 hours of play time. Also Lost Odyssey is the only 4 disc XBox 360 game, and is actually really good. Leveling up can be a pain sometimes but thats to be expected from someone who helps make Final Fantasy games. In Call of Duty I'm not very high level and to be completely honest I play like crap. Only real reason I am better than I used to be is of course thanks to GoW 3. Dance Central is my way of getting excercise, and it works. You are out of breath very quickly after three or four songs. Spore is fun, as fun as I thought it would be and I like getting to make little aliens and watch them grow into a civilization. The main thing I am into right now though is MapleStory. I have actually come back to it after a small hiatus and just happened to end up getting to play the coolest class they have ever made. It is called a Demon Slayer and it is adictively awesome. It took a little getting used to but to be honest I took to it better and with more fevor than any of the other classes they offer in the game. He is currently level 63, which also makes him the biggest character that I have. All I need are 7 more levels and he will also be my first character to make it to the 3rd job advancement which will make my day. If the servers aren't as bad Friday through Sunday he will make and pass level 70 with ease.
Well that concludes everything that is in my head and I am off to bed now. Wow, 22 minutes and I wrote all of that. Hope everyone enjoys it and thanks for reading to keep up to date on my life. I will check back later for comments and messages back about it on Facebook. Talk to everyone again next week and be safe.

Also Lost Odyssey is the only 4 disc XBox 360 game, and is actually really good. Leveling up can be a pain sometimes but thats to be expected from someone who helps make Final Fantasy games. In Call of Duty I'm not very high level and to be completely honest I play like crap. Only real reason I am better than I used to be is of course thanks to GoW 3. Dance Central is my way of getting excercise, and it works. You are out of breath very quickly after three or four songs. Spore is fun, as fun as I thought it would be and I like getting to make little aliens and watch them grow into a civilization. The main thing I am into right now though is MapleStory. I have actually come back to it after a small hiatus and just happened to end up getting to play the coolest class they have ever made. It is called a Demon Slayer and it is adictively awesome. It took a little getting used to but to be honest I took to it better and with more fevor than any of the other classes they offer in the game. He is currently level 63, which also makes him the biggest character that I have. All I need are 7 more levels and he will also be my first character to make it to the 3rd job advancement which will make my day. If the servers aren't as bad Friday through Sunday he will make and pass level 70 with ease.
Well that concludes everything that is in my head and I am off to bed now. Wow, 22 minutes and I wrote all of that. Hope everyone enjoys it and thanks for reading to keep up to date on my life. I will check back later for comments and messages back about it on Facebook. Talk to everyone again next week and be safe.

The First Blog
Good Morning evryone. I think it is a good morning anyways. As it is I am currently and obviously writing this blog. The last few weeks have been spent with Aleysha, my girlfriend, at her parents house. Her parents love me, and think I am a great person. Her dad likes me a lot because I share his interest in computers and because I like Dragon Ball Z, Thundercats, Star Trek, Star Wars, Stargate SG-1 and ever other science fiction television show that he named. He is an especially huge fan of Star Wars. For his birthday Aleysha bought a bunch of Star Wars decorations and she also got him the huge blu-ray pack of all six movies, and I actually got him a Darth Vader coffee mug that I found at, of all places, Toys-R-Us. Her mom thinks I am a very sweet man, even if I am extremely quiet and don't really say a whole lot. I have been working on my spanish too, though I have to be honest, it is taking a bit. I am understanding a lot better than I am speaking so I know at least 75% of what is being said to me. I am happy here with Aleysha, and we spend a lot of time together, watching television and even playing board games and doing puzzles together. We even ocasionally play Dance Central 1&2 together, which is fun but extremely exhausting. And I have even learned a little bit of Salsa dancing, so I think that is something I can be proud of since I don't have a clue how to dance at all and even doing it on Dance Central I feel like I'm making a fool of myself and doing a horrible job of it. Learning is fun though, I am doing my best and working hard on all of the things I have going on. Well, I will probably post again next week with more updates and maybe even with more enthusiasm, since I'm not really sure what to write about I'm just covering all the bases for now and I may be more focused next week. Well, talk to everyone then I guess, be safe out there.
