So i was accepted, along with Ernon [[link] into Ringling!

So i'll be trying new styles.. to "expand" my skill or style or whatever..

Also i need to do photography more.

And i've been drawing everyday for at least an hour.

Yeah =[ i need to update this more too..

and apparently i need to play Pokemon more.. >>

So today's new year's eve..

I don't have much to write, or rather, i have too much to write so i won't write at all D=

You'll be seeing a lot of photography from me... hopefully. My town sucks though.. there's no good shots anywhere. And i know that there's an opportunity for a good shot anywhere, but not here haha. It is so plain and ordinary[Too ordinary] So hopefully i can get tips and help from my photographer friends on deviantart ?..

Ah well, back to taking crap photos-_-..


*I Just discovered RAW files D=! I'm going to see if they give me better quality pictures..

Where do i begin...

Yesterday i went to the Coheed and Cambria Concert at the House of Blues, Orlando FL.

They played songs i never even guessed they'd play =] Junesong Provision, The Crowing, and much more . I think the set was 2 hours long but it was the most amazing 2 hours of my life. All night i was waiting for them to play "Everything Evil", So finally when they did, I attacked Nina hahah. She attacked me back and hit my glasses off..>>; Anyway, They cut the ending of the song off and played Iron Maiden's "The Trooper"! That's so rare! I was so excited! So Than they cut off The Trooper and played Devil in Jersey City! It gave me this huge urge to jump around Hahah. Again they cut off Devil in Jersey City and played the ending of Everything Evil T^T. The best thing I've ever heard. I was surprised he had a new Explorer[Red with two white pinstripes]. Also he had his custom Medusa Guitar =] [Made by Minarik Guitars] But instead of his traditional red one, his was all white =] As always, they ended with their notorious extended Final Cut. I think that most people their didn't like it. But that's expected i guess. You have to be a really dedicated fan to enjoy and appreciate it. Travis used a technique by another guitar player, his name escapes me but i'll edit this journal and put his name in. Claudio tried something new too, he had a synth or a keyboard with a light on it, he waved his hand in front of it to add a vibrato effect to it. I'll explain more later haha. There is way too much to cover in one sitting so i'll edit this a bit later. Oh, and i got a Coheed and Cambria Jacket I'll put a picture up later.

After Middle schoo, i went off to high school with different things in mind. My Dreams of drawing Manga were still high and strong. I would
draw all the time, began to get a webcomic [Which never started due to my lack of story ideas, drawing style and other reasons] and the
normal things a little anime artist does. But, of course, Reality had to step in sometime to show me that i could never obtain my dreams of
drawing manga, or even drawing anime characters well. So, i found Photoshop. Which was easy, and i could actually do. Everything was
perfect in Photoshop. Nothing was messed up. So subconsciously, I took to Photoshop and Graphic Design instead of drawing. I now regret
wasting two years of my life on Photoshop. Although i enjoy it a lot, my heart is in Anime and Manga. I watch many Anime Artists on
deviantart and the skill of them eat away at me slowly. I wish i could have used the two years that i wasted on Photoshop to improve my
drawing skills. Neolucky's "Zeia-Starlight" is what finally just made me drop everything and inspired me to draw again. I want by favorite
artists to be able to advice, tips, and opinions on my progress, but they are far too busy to help a boy get his dreams back. I totally
understand though. I'm trying to draw bodies only now, in hopes that the people i draw improve. A lot of my deviations will be drawing; Either Anime faces, full body drawings, studies, and other things related to drawing. I hope everyone supports me in my struggle to be what i've
always wanted to be.

It's been so long since i've updated this, Not that much people read it anyway hahah. So things have been alright i suppose. Very very very happy with the new Coheed and Cambria CD , It's all that can listen to =]. And with the concert coming up I'm even more excited Oops i just feel asleep hahah..Sad. Anyway, i guess i'll update this later!

Is that possible? I find that i get tired when i go on vacations ><

So the first night, i got sea sick/dizzy. I was falling against walls haha..But the next day i was feeling better. and by the last day of the cruise, i was totally fine. The problem was that when i got off the boat to go home, my body was used to the sea. So i was dizzy on land now haha.

Overall though, i think it was alright. Wasn't as bad as i thought. :]

I have over 800 pictures! haha.

So i'm going on a cruise Tomorrow[Friday]. My mom's whole side of the family is going. I'm not too excited..I have a strange feeling that won't leave me. And Vacation like this makes me sad. I'll most likely be alone wandering around the ship [if they don't stop me and yell at me for "not spending time with my family"]..

I can't explain how i feel. It's not my family that is getting me down. It's the cruise itself..The atmosphere depresses me..i don't know..I'll be back on Monday. I'm going to see if i can somehow get online. See you everyone~

Lately i've noticed that my pictures are really grainy...does anyone know why? Is it my camera? Or a setting on it that i messed with? haha..

It's mostly grainy when i take pictures inside.

Help me please =[

l~~~~~~

:] My camera has brought me many wonderful things. This included.

Thanks everyone for watching me :]
