Hey everyone, sorry I haven't been on here in a long time. I am dealing with a lot of things right now and I have been really busy. I figured since I had some free time I would jump on here and just give you guys a short life update and than I will be on my way again. No I will not be coming back, at least not anytime soon. I am dealing with a lot of personal, religious, and family things at the moment and I am trying to make a few changes in my life. Art is still apart of my life, it's just not my main focus right now. I have a few sketches that I have done and I designed a t-shirt (I might upload that if I have enough time after writing this).

Sooo yeah life for me, where to start...

I turned 20 earlier this month, yeah nothing special really

Things are still bad between my father and I, he didn't call me on Christmas or my birthday and he is not living with my mother like 15 minutes away and still hasn't called to see how I am doing. According to my mom he wants to make up not calling me for Christmas and my birthday buy giving me some money. I think of it as him trying to buy forgiveness, but nobody else sees it that way. I haven't decided if I will take it, I need the money (for the next thing I am going to write about) but at the same time I don't want it if he is going to hold it against me or expect something in return.

I am going to try and move out sometime by summer. Anywhere will do right now, I have one friend from gaming that just got a new apartment in California so I am going to see if I could move in with him. I am also going to talk to one of my other friends sometime and see if he can help me find a place.

Gaming wise I am still a beast I went to Orlando last year for a event and that was pretty cool. I am apart of a Christian Gaming website now and that's really cool, we are going to be having bible studies over XBL and I am really looking forward to them because they should be fun.

Religion wise I am doing really good, I have started to open up when I pray and that's pretty cool. I am dealing with some addictions right now (no drugs or alcohol, it's other things) and I am starting to take control of them with the support of my friends, a online accountability group I have joined, and God's healing hand. I have accepted the fact that God made me for a reason, and it might not seem like he has a plan for me sometimes, but he is always right there watching over me and if I ever need his help I know he will step in and be my savior.

So yeah I am going to do this fun thing that I have never done before, I am going to post a bunch of songs that I am really into right now and I want you all to at least check out one of the songs.

Alright Well I have got to be going, I need to be getting on Xbox Live to get some practice in. I just wanted to let you all know I am still alive and to notify you all that I probably won't be active for a long time, or at least until I get my life under control.
