Writing for the sake of writing

Been about a month since my last blog post on here. So in the last month, life has gotten considerably better. I got a job working for a company out of hartford called JCL. Im going to be a life skills instructor for mentally disabled adults. This is work that I've been trying to get into for a while and I'm very excited about it. Finally, a job where its very rewarding and it opens up so many doors for the future. They will also be paying for medical training for CPR and MED CERT, so i can have those under my belt. After that Im going to take a paramedic course and hopefully they'll pay for that.

Jen was here from Germany. Had a blast with her. The first few nights that she was here, we went out to a few bars, met up with people that she hasnt seen in a while. We both went and got tattooed. I got one of the pieces on my leg colored in and she got her back finished off the next day. We also went to the shooting range and shot a Sig Sauer .45. That was a lot of fun. I kept my target and one of the shells from it. This was my first time going to the shooting range and I think Im a little hooked now. Next step is getting my permit and taking my dads guns to a gun smith to make sure they are in working condition. After that, we hung out for a few days then she went back to germany.

Since she left, things have gotten somewhat back to normal. I've been very focused on getting my head on straight and getting back on my feet. I plan on having my own place again by april. This time, no room mate. Just gonna live on my own. Im sick of worrying about what other people do and who they bring over. Besides, I dont party much anymore. So its time for me to finally calm down, continue to write music the way I've been. Which, by the way, has been going awesome. I also joined a new band a little while back. Not sure if I posted it in here but they are from the new haven area and are called Red Tide Horizon. The stuff we've been working on is a mix between at the gates, botch and undying. As Im getting older, I'm more into melodic music and thats reflected in my music. I'm not so much into just straight heavy music anymore. Don't get me wrong, I love real gutteral death metal but to write it, its not in me anymore. This music is making me feel happy again. For the first time in almost 10 years, I feel really content with myself and where I'm going. I also feel very confident in myself. This is a good place to be
