So what's been new with me...not a whole lot really. The big thing is that I decided I'm going to record an album. Yes, you read right. Basically, the rest of my family is taking of for a wedding from April 17th through the 22nd next year. I can't go due to cost considerations (On the plus side, I should be able to wipe out my school debt once and for all right around that time. This will free up tons of cash for apartment hunting/car insurance/etc), so I'm going to take advantage of that week or so to record a bunch of songs and self-release an album.

To that end, I'm considering getting a website that would be a place to throw up rough ideas, song sketches, etc. and kind of get feedback on them. I have a 120GB external hard drive for my computer, so I've been throwing ideas onto that, and I'll refine them a bit more as I finish writing songs. I need a cheap webhost where I can toss up what will essentially be demo versions of the songs--rough, probably without eqing or even effects on some of the stuff, to see what I should keep and what I should rework further. Anyone have any ideas/experience with the getting-your-own-website thing? Would anyone out there actually be interested in something like this, or would I just be throwing away $X a month for hosting this?

What else...in "sometimes I can be such a girl" news, I'm no longer a short chubby dude. Well, I'm still short, but I'm nearly 20 pounds lighter than I was at the end of February. I actually overshot my goal a little bit as of Sunday (I wanted to get down to 140lbs, I'm currently about 138), but that's fine (It just means I get to eat more, heh). And if my scale is to be trusted--and according to my mom, who has compared it to scales from various weight-loss centers, it's surprisingly accurate--I've gone from 20% body fat to 15%. Neat.

And lastly, here are some more lyrics I wrote. They're not quite as depressing as the last set. Basically, I wanted an excuse to scream "John Romero's Daikatana" in a song;  the fact that John Romero's Daikatana winds up being implied to be equal to two of the biggest miscalculations in combat history is merely an amusing side effect.

You'll probably note a complete lack of structure here. What I want to do with this is basically just that--three verses and a chorus, but each "verse" in a completely different style. As such, each verse describes a different situation.
