To clear out the retardedly angsty journal entries from my deviantART, I've started a LiveJournal ([link]). Yes, my rantings that no one should really care about are being made public, but I also don't care who knows about my life. I just don't want people who are watching me to have whiny and/or depressing journal updates all the time. This page is for my creative material, and that's it.

Oh, and as a side note, I've started a blog, as well ([link]). The blog is more of me talking about nerdy stuff I encounter, so it's just a little more bearable. (Just a little ...)

I'm finally in the middle of moving back in with my parents who are in the middle of a bankruptcy ... and a divorce. Also, apparently something unrelated, yet horrible happened to my mother that I probably ought not talk about, and she wouldn't tell my dad. She also just found out her Hepatitis is acting up and she's very diabetic. Just a little more stuff to add on to the pile of awesome.

Not having a TV really sucks when you have eleven game consoles. I can play my 360 in the front room, but since I'm not putting down $100 for a wireless receiver plus ~$40-50 for a wireless router, and there's no chance of a computer I could run a null cable from using ICS being in there with it, my 360 is without an internet connection. Not that big of a deal, but it's a little irritating since I can't buy anything from the marketplace or play online.

People seem to be unhappy with me as of late for whatever reason. I'm not sure if I'm just being paranoid or what, but it just seems to be true. I don't THINK I'm doing anything differently. The only difference is that I'm hurting enough financially that instead of helping my friends, I'm asking for help. Whatever.

The only positive thing I can think to mention right now is that some more lyrics came to me today. Perhaps the next month will yield a new song? One can only hope.

So, to start off the bad news portion of today's entry, let's mention the fact that I'm pretty sure I'm about to be living out of my car at least for a few weeks. Not trying to sound dramatic or anything, it's just the truth. I can't find a place to stay, and my roommates can't afford to stay where we are right now.

Also, my band is broken up, so that's all over with. Hopefully I'll find something else soon and get it going.

There are many other things going on that I don't want to go into right now. People are choosing to ignore me when I ask for help, so I'll stop asking. If you're one of those people and you're reading this, thanks. Seriously.

I just got out of the studio with Check Back Later to find myself at home mixing what we just recorded. Of course, only after the recording session do I notice an incorrect lyric in one of the songs. Bah!

I got a crappy old computer of mine back, so I've got a computer. Of course, there's a problem with it. Besides general suckage, the power supply's got a short in it. If I accidentally bump the case, it reboots ... or at least attempts to. I end up having to turn it off from the power supply, wait a few seconds, turn the power supply back on, then hit the power button again just to watch it boot knowing that if I happen to accidentally touch the blasted thing, it's going to do it all over. I wish I could afford even the cheapest of power supplies right now.

Right now I'm in a folk-ish band called Check Back Later, and am planning to start a rock band of some kind.

As far as where my works are going, Check Back Later is performing Epiphany, and I'm rewriting the lyrics to My Own Will, whose name may actually change, as well. I feel I'm becoming a better lyricist, so be on the lookout for the new version of My Own Will, which may sneak up on you since it may very well be called something completely different.

I don't have a computer of my own at the moment, but once I build my new one, I may actually record a couple songs so people can actually hear what these sound like.

I'm off to our show in Springfield, so everyone have a good weekend!
