So...He's alive, eh?

Journal Entry: Fri Jan 4, 2008, 11:22 PM
Thats right. I'm alive and kickin'. Just when you thought I was finally gone.

I've completed my first semester of college. I did pretty good too. Words cannot really describe everything that has happend. I've changed, in recent months. I suppose everyone is always changing. Its part of living. I'm certainly not the same guy I was last year. Well, I'm still ME, but, so different. I'm not the same shy, quiet, insecure guy I used to be. Guess I lost that, somewhere along the way.
It scares me, hhow much I'm changing. Maybe I'm just growing up. Seems like yesterday I was 14 years old, showing up for my first "How to Manga" class at kendal. And here I am now.

I really enjoy college. Theres actually people! Being stuck home alone all day because of my homeschooling really sucked. Being around people more often made me realize that, I tend to talk to myself a lot when I'm at home. I'm questioning my own sanity, but I guess in reality I was the only one for me to talk to. :D

College has had me gain quite a few experiences. Having real homework asignments was fun. Staying downtown for most of the day was awesome. I made new friends, and got to know others better. I actually know my way around town now. I was even basically attacked by this guy at school. The most interesting was a romance that was not meant to be. For once I actually feel like I might stand a fighting chance at living.

Oh, and did I mention my arms are really close to being fully recovered? I'm in physical therapy right now. I had gotten really weak. I feel a little better each day, and its a damn good feeling. Its approaching 1 year since I first injured my left arm, at the end of this month. Lets hope I'm ready for 2008. The question I ask though, is, will 2008 be ready for ME?

I had some money saved up and I bought myself a Fender Telecaster, in sunburst color. Several people thought I was a little crazy for buying it since I'm not quite able to play it. I had lost hope for a while, but it came back. :)

Music will always be appart of me. I gave it some serious thought. If I don't give my damn best shot at making music, I'll regret it for the rest of my life. Even if I don't make it. Even if I fail and never get signed. I'll regret it forever. I have no wrongly placed dreams of being a 'rock star'. I just want to make music, dammit. Good music.

That said, I like to eat, too. Which is why I'm not faltering from 3D graphics or drawing. I'm actually close to the screenplay phase of making my first short short film (About 2 minutes) in Lightwave. I will also devote at the minimum of 1 hour per day for drawing. Obviously I need to figure out how I'm to make money doing 3D graphics, but I have a plan now.

Anyway, get ready for regular updates! I'll schedule time to upload stuff. I find I have to schedule everything or else I completely forget.

So yes, I have returned! Ya dig, what I'm sayin'?

Hell even I enjoy being there and I went to a public highschool. Of course public highschool explains it all, It has to b nice after homeschooling though, glad you enjoyed it.

The thought of going to college can be very scary. Its like plunging into a whole new world. At least for me it was, since I was homeschooled. Don't worry though, its not as scary as it seems. :)

Thanks for the welcome back. :)
