  Fire!! And Acceptance..

  Had a fun day yesterday....even more fun today lol.

  I am usually the type of person to get up rather early to practice or read or take careof thing searly on so they aren't dwelling on me the rest of the day. Well yesterday morning I was feeling a little lazy and felt like sleeping until about...7:00 AM which is late for me beleive it or not (I'm an early bird). However, my hopes of sleeping in were dashed when I was woken up by my sister at about 6:00 to tell me that there was heavy amounts of smoke coming from our basement and we all had to get out of the house. I threw on a pair of pants and a jacket as quickly as I could and rushed outside to meet the rest of my family. Less then a minute later (surprisingly) about three firetrucks show up and they rush inside. Turns out that our washing machine had a loose belt inside it that caught on fire and the damage was minimal which is good because we have a lot of cats and would lsoe a lot during a serious fire.

  So we have to get a new washing machine. The good thing is that it is coming tomorrow (Had to put out about $540 for it, on credit of course) but the bad thing is that laundry has been piling up...hasn't been odne in a litle while and I am running out of pants and whatnot lol but thankfully that will all end tomorrow..or so I hope.

  And in exciting news (for me anyways) I got accepted into the university I plan on attending. I am still getting scolded by a few people for waiting so long to go to school...but they don't udnerstand what was going on my senior year and I just got caught up in other things this past year..no shame in going to school at 22 (which I will be next year). I am excited though, I really don't have to pay much for it since I am handicapped and because of that, get a lot of benefits from the state and from the OVR (office of vocational rehabilitation). I met with a computer tech as well ths week (who is completely blind but a very cool guy) and I guess if thigns go according to plan, I'll be recieving two laptops (one for class and a stationary one for my dorm) that will be equipped with all of the tools I need to read the books and use specific programs it is all fun stuff just very, very stressful on me.

  I also really like the last.fm addition on Xbox live..I just wish you could game while listening..but I turned on a Frank Zappa radio satation while studying chord theory and man, I was having a blast doing that..music + studying music + Lulu= awesome times for me.

  I have been addicted to Mors Principium Est lately...so I end this blog with them. Take care everyone.

  UP THE IRONS!

  I Have Returned!

  Well it has been slightlyunder a month since I left....I see not a lot has changed here lol.

  Things picked up for me a little but not by much. I made a return because I figure if I didn't do it anytime soon I never would. I am not particularalyl nuts about gamespot but it is a place with good friends and a palce where I can share designs and whatnot so I will stick it out here. How have you all been? Hopefully not too much has gone downhill in the past month.

  Halloween went pretty well as usual. I was surprised I still dressed up but I love the holiday, did a whole glam metal thing which turned out pretty well.

  Last week one of my cats died, we had him for about four years Died of some sort of seizure..none of us were around when he passed but he was found..we all cried of course because he was a great cat and my cats are like family to me. I miss him but am done being terribly depressed about it. Was a great cat nonetheless...may he rest n peace .

  Still getting ready to go to school and all of that fun stuff...always a hassle of course, since I have a dsiability I have a lot more to plan for...fun, fun..but worth it nonetheless.

  I don't really feel motivated to get into what has been going on in my life...maybe will post it in another upcoming blog (if anyone is still reading these of course).

  I have been involved even deeper in my music playing..focusing a lot on acoustic guitar slapping (which is advanced tapping, basically) and it actually sounds pretty cool. I am no Erik Mongrain but if I keep practicing it I will get better. I am always evolving as a player but I still don't consider myself much good lol...still playing is what keeps me alive so that is why I still do it heavily.

  I will end this blog with Air tap...and I'll be sure to write more soon.

  UP THE IRONS!
