Imploding the Universe

2007, the year I:

1. Come out with my first album.
2. Am finally done with this annoyance that is high school.
3. Decide where to go to college.
-or-
4. Decide how I will spend a year off if I take one.
5. Launch the new PIxel Implosion (hopefully soon).
6. Team up with Justin Williams to make an application that I've been wanting to make for a long time (but, alas, I'm not a programmer).

... and more. The possibilities seem endless and I feel so refreshed that this year has arrived. 2007 is a great number - it's very energetic and organic; very futuristic-sounding. The millennium has really gained momentum.

To you, my friends, I wish you a happy 2007. I have a feeling it'll be important for all of us.

Now that the first semester of my senior year in high school has consumed a decent chunk of my existence, it's officially time for me to be concerned about college. I'm bloody sick of asshole soccer-moms-of-high-school-acquaintances asking me, "So, where are you headed off to next spring?!" I never have an answer for them, and then they look at me weird when I tell them that. "Oh, how _responsible_ of you."

Hello, Vox friends and enemies. I just felt like letting everyone know that I haven't given up on weblogging, I've just been busy. It really pains me to see that I had a month or so of regular posting and then a complete hault.

Until I post my next entry, which will hopefully be soon, you can keep up with me at Twitter. Hooray for cell phones.

I just *love* how he felt it was his duty to notify the Moleskine people. I never intended my design to be a rip-off, but rather a tribute to the notebook. Oy.

Admittedly, I love it when stuff like this happens. I make the most controversial icons around!

For those of you who listen or know of the Afghan Whigs, you're most likely familiar with the song "Citi Soleil" from their final album 1965. The song attached here is my cover of it, which has been pretty "drastically" re-imagined for my version.

Why did I make the cover? Well, two reasons:

1. I needed something new to show off on MySpace,
2. I'm submitting it for an Afghan Whigs tribute album. Here's to hoping I make it in...

Anyways, I certainly hope you all enjoy the song. This is still even a little rough, but I'll clean it up if it's going on the album, obviously. Note: I don't like my vocals... they need a lot of work.

I'm not sure I'm going to give out details just yet, but a band that I've been listening to since 8th grade contacted me and told me that they like my music so much that they want to collaborate with me on their next album. I seriously could not believe it, and I still can't. The lead singer/songwriter also wants to guest star on one or two of my songs once I'm ready. In the past, I've mainly made music for personal gratification (there are some songs that the world will never hear), but now I'm feeling a hell of a lot more inspired to write for the masses - as well as a lot more confident.

My dear PowerBook has decided that it's had enough. It destroyed its own hard drive on Saturday night, leaving me speechless.

I just noticed that I have a Psychology II project due in less than 5 hours. I knew that signing up for an online class would mean that I'd be stupid and forget things...

I've finally started a pen-and-paper journal for myself. This is something I've been wanting to do since I was a wee lad, but I've just never gotten around to it. I can't wait for the days when I can look back at my 18-year-old self and see how far I've come...

Time seems to be slipping away faster and faster for me these days, and I want to make sure my memories and experiences aren't gone forever.
