First of all, I uploaded a guitar cover a few days ago but here it is.

Some of you may have seen it from thread. If you haven't though I'd be thankful if you were to check it out, comment, rate.

I'm thinking about recording a cover of Helix Nebula by Anamanaguchi this weekend.

If you've been wondering as to why I haven't blogged for a while it's because a lot has happened since July. My mom died a few days after my birthday. Since about August I've been angry at a lot of people (namely my dad) and I don't think I've ever felt more alone in my life. The amount of testing/quizzing that I've done since I started high school is much higher than last year, so most of my effort has gone to studying and practicing guitar.

So, the reason that I have been trying to find the right words. The paragraph above is only vague represantation of what's going on in my life. But, I've felt that all of you who wished me luck in July (whom I really can't thank enough) deserve some sort of update. One that I've put off for far to long.

I've noticed that in past few months one of the thing that I've wanted the most in life was recognition for what I've earned. Even today my dad has hardly even in a passing interest in my guitar playing, doesn't say more than a "good job" when I get a 4.0(+) GPA, and scolded me when I got a D on one test (even as going as far to say that I had no excuse for it). I believe this is where I get what I now firmly believe is Avoidant Personality Disorder. I've even been considering going to my counselor about this, but I have never even met.

My younger brother got Uncharted 2 for his birthday. If you want to play just message me on PSN to work something out. I also play Blazblue from time to time.

Well, this turned out longer than I expected and now I'm 20 mins behind on my homework.

Until next time

On July 8th, a legend was born!

For my b-day I told my dad I wanted a new skateboard. The only shop we could find was a general sporting goods one. After a quick debate over the quality of the boards, my dad decided to finally order me one from the Internet (specifically skatewarehouse). I chose this deck.

The reason why we didn't do this in the first place is because my parents have had bad experiences with online stores. And apperantly he thinks they're gonna screw this one up so he can "show me who's right."

Everything else in my life, for lack I have a better word, has sucked majorly. My mom's cancer has spread pretty much throughout her whole body. The few friends I made in Arizona are moving to different districts. And what I strongly suspect to be a case of Avoidant Personality Disorder is getting worse. Right now I have nothing but loathing for the day summer ends and I start high school. I just wish my mom could fully recover and for us to move back to Missouri.

I've gotten into a routine for exercising, using my laptop, drawing, and reading at night before bed, so my drawings have gotten better. Here's the most recent one.
