life has put me through the ringer this january

not fun

but

i want to work on getting these unfinished music projects moving forward and finished

my spirit is not that easy to break, you see

i guess it's now time to talk about my plan for new music.

and since my youtube audience doesn't exist here i'm gonna spill the beans.

i am doing a rock/guitar album. well. that's the goal.

but the problems are; my amp sucks, i can't record my guitar playing, and i don't have a mic/noise cancelling pads for my room

getting equipment is gonna be HELLA expensive... and i have never had the luxury of saving money...

so

idk. i WANT to make it happen. and i might just brute force it. but. ugh. i just want to play again. it's been so long since i've held it with intense veracity... this year is going to be an uphill battle i fear.

let me get swingin!

my car battery died, and it's gonna cost a lot to get a new one, get the car towed, and have it installed

i'm missing 4 work days because of it

and somehow i fucked up my knee in my sleep yesterday so it's been hard to walk on...

sheesh!

i think i want to change my name to cody...

started working on my first ever comic

i bought paper mario TTYD and twilight princess (tp i've played before, but not paper mario)

bought new dice for dnd type gaming

bought new socks finally

learned how to solve the mf8 son mum 4x4x4 v3 cube (it's a crazy puzzle; the edges split in half!)

and i'm almost finished with the first kingdom hearts game! (first ever playthrough, my roommate is helping me along the way)

so... yeah. only 3 days and so much has happened. i've been in such a fantastic mood i can't wait to see the things i accomplish :)

it's him, bubble bitch mcgee <3

so;

the numbers are this: 9 demos + 4 finished

i am thinking i will finish at least 3 or 4 of the demos, hopefully more

xfv3 will be an ep most likely, but it's not like i'm a stranger to that.

de4 will have whatever is left over, obviously much shorter than previous installments.

my timeframe for finishing and offloading is december, so hopefully i can release those 2 projects AND have hypa mask up on itunes/spotify near the same time.

will talk more about future music plans after they get uploaded.
