Moving House @ MindSay 
Anyway! I come bearing news, which kind of ties into the title of this blog: I'm leaving home. It's a bit of a long story, so I'm not going to bore you with the full details, however here's the basic jist of it. Somebody I work with was looking to sell his two bedroomed house with little success, and I was looking for a place to buy, only to find out that I couldn't afford to, and the Government won't help me out. Turning my attention to renting, I found out that I would be able to rent off of Mike, the guy I work with. We sat down and worked some details out, got a contract filled out, and here we are now.
I was given the keys on Saturday, so officially I can move in whenever I'm wanting, however I'm actually going to be moving out this coming weekend. If I'm to be honest, I'm really excited. It's going to give me a chance to spread my wings out fully, and do anything I want to do without having to clear it with anybody. I'm 23 now, and I really can't stand to be here anymore. My life has to progress, and I'm certainly making tracks. Coupling moving out with travelling to Las Vegas in October, it seems the second half of 2009 is going to be everything I said this year would be. January to June wasn't exactly progressing the way I'd intended, but that'll all be forgotten come December.
Anyway, moving quickly onwards to stop this sounding like another one of the "Hyping Myself Up" blogs that I seem to have been writing for years now, progress on the two Living Sedative albums has slowed. I am still having ideas, though, which is a good thing. In fact, only yesterday I had an idea for a track where the drums would be the lead instrument, which is certainly an interesting concept I would like to play with. I also keep coming up with some pretty good track names that I'd like to use. My current favourite is Teach the Stars to Shine, which would be the title of a dreamy, ambient track. Nothing heavy, no drums, just a few soft synths tinkling away.
Finally, before I go, I've been working on a concept track called The Hare vs The Tortoise. If you know the fable of the same (or similar) name, then you'll know what this song is. If you don't, a brief rundown: It's about a race between a hare and a tortoise. The hare races into a strong lead, and ends up falling asleep believing his lead to be unbeatable. Whilst he's asleep, the tortoise overtakes him, and eventually wins the race. Moral of the story is to never underestimate your opponent. Anyway, my track takes the story and tells it through music, with the hare being represented by a heavy rock track, and the tortoise by a slow, bass lead track. It's currently in Third Demo status, and is actually nearly finished. I just need to finish up the end of the track and clean a few sections up, and then it'll be ready to roll. The full, finished track will be nearing 6 or 7 minutes, I'm hoping, but we'll see when it's done.
And with that, I leave you. I'll try and blog once I have internet set up at my new home, and after that I will honestly try and be a lot more regular. I'll also update the layout of the blog and give it a new theme, as this one's getting a bit old. So, until next time, whenever that may be!

Well once upon a time I thought I'd end up in this house alone, everyone would've left and I'd have to choose between finding a new housemate, getting a full time job or moving out as well. For a long while finding a new housemate seemed ideal, but that would mean teaching them the few ways of not irritating me and annoying me beyond belief. I'd looked around for interest from various friends, most of which expressed interest with that not follow through thing trailing close behind. That's okay though. Living out of home isn't for everyone my age yet. Subsequently I too will be moving out as regular visitors to my blog will already know. I've had to make a lot of decisions related to all this though.
For starters;
I have to move everything I own to my mothers for storing.
I'm taking out my tongue piercing on NYE, (for those of you who want to kiss me pre this leave a message :P) cause it's the last time I'll ever have one. Of course this means NYD I won't have one and it'll be a whole new experience. ;)
I have to go out and buy several new bits of camping equipment for my trip.
I alo have to prepared for zero contact with anyone I know for 26 days. Not family or friends.
I have to hold on to my competition wrappers (yes, lame, but you gotta be in it to win it and if I win it... damn.)
I also have do decide on glasses or not out there. Contacts are too much trouble but glasses can get broken. I'd hate to miss a pretty sight cause I'm blind :P.
I also have to decide on what camera I'm taking out. I'm thinking of going film and saving my rather expensive digital camera. Plus it'll be less and easier on batteries.
Just a few things to think about I suppose.

My mom is doing great, she's working, and working hard to sell the house before she moves to Virginia.
"You know," She says. "I was working the other day, and I realized, I HATE my job!"
I laugh, and she continues. "I want a job that it doesn't feel like a job. I want a job helping people, I really want to finish my schooling and become a nurse now!"
I'm so glad my mom is on the right track now, it's amazing that she survived, and it's amazing what great things she's going to do now that she's moving :) She's going to see a counselor once she moves, and keep going, even though she might not feel that she needs it.
My dad is moving out into his own apartment, so my brother can live with him. My dad is very psyched to be moving out of his parents house (he's been dealing with living with them for a year, since the divorce, and this is finally an excuse to move out!) And the apartment that he wants is HUGE! And inside the apartment complex is a racketball court (my dad played racketball in the regionals in Japan!) My brother is going to love living with my dad, like father, like son. :)
It has been a hard year for all of us, but now, I feel everything is falling into place ...<3
