Holidays, new projects and current obsessions…

It’s funny, really. This year just hasn’t seemed to go by fast on one hand, yet the other it’s blazed by. So much has happened and changed over the course of the last 365 days that it’s just crazy.

The holiday season is back, and honestly it feels weird. I’m not sure how, but it just doesn’t feel the same. I wasn’t that excited about decorating, I haven’t invested a lot in gifts, etc. I think it’s because, well, I’m unemployed for the most part. I’m not working, not bringing home any money, and it just sucks. Today’s economy is just shit. I’ve done the best I could, though. Managed to buy everyone at least one gift, and my girlfriend three. Two of which she knows, one of those she just pieced together thanks to happenstance. Stupid happenstance lol

In other news, I have a new-ish album up on a new bandcamp page… You can click the image below to go there. I’m really looking forward to where I can take this. Life’s a journey, and I’m coasting through this one. Don’t want to get too ambitious haha

I’ve also fallen back in love with the Zelda series. I've recently started files on Twilight Princess, Link’s Awakening and Phantom Hourglass either for the first time, or for the second or dozenth time. Yes, dozenth. I realize it isn’t a real word but it’s kind of fun to say.

I’ve also been downloading a bunch of remix soundtracks for the games. I’ll post the two most recent, which are from OverClockedRemix.

Essence of Lime (Oracle of Ages Remix Album)

Threshold of a Dream (Link’s Awakening Remix Album)

Both are pretty good, but Threshold is by FAR one of my favorites of the year. Period. Which is sad lol

I’m also really looking forward to Skyward Sword next year for the Wii. Looks really, really good. Even if we’re returning to cel-shaded visuals, we still retain a look something like Twilight Princess… Still, looks damn good in motion.

That, I think, is enough for now.

Sleepless

It's dangerous to read over my past blog posts anywhere. Guaranteed, somewhere within the confines of my writing you'll see proclamations of love to various girls and women throughout the years, each one valid in their own way. It's just funny that my moods change depending upon which one I'm "with" at any point in that self-contained time line.

Winter is a season of reflecting, of evaluation of self. Make note of the things you'd like to change and, at the start of the new year, work towards those goals.

Hopefully I never have to read through years of Lauren/Lani/Christina/Amanda/Stephanie bullshit and can just focus on Felicia and I. Makes things somewhat awkward when I go through and read about my past emotions and feelings. Makes me feel kind of childish.

To a degree.

Another interesting aspect of past relationships is where my music was going. Stylistically at least. When I was with Lani I was so nearly-constantly angered and upset over something that my music was always fast and aggressive. Here anymore I'm calmer, almost at peace. It's reflected in where I'm going with my sound, progression via regression I say. Kinda catchy actually, might use it for an album title. Ha! Then again, Only Time struck me as a decent band name... Kinda describes where I'm at, too. Only time will tell... it's a phrase I saw used a few times over the course of the last few entries.

Overall I've just become happier over the course of the last seven months. There really isn't much, if anything, that I would change.

I'm sure I had so much more I wanted to say, but I've lost my thought train. Damn things derail so easily when you're multi-tasking...
