Alright I've gotten some questions about the guitar thing.  Just recently,  I picked the guitar back up.  When I say 'back'  I mean that when I was a bit younger, I used to try to play, and then I gave up.  So now, i'm trying to learn and re-learn some things, and it is coming along smoothly.  Today, in fact, I actually busted out something that didnt sound like something that I've heard before, that actually sounded really good.  Awesome. 
I am so self-teaching myself, so I know there is  definitely some error in the way I play, but I am glad to say that one of my friends, who is probably one of the best guitar players I have ever heard, showed me some tricks along the lines of finger picking, timing, and a few other things that are actually speeding me up on the basics of the guitar a couple of years back. 
I may be getting ahead of myself though;  instead of trying to play easy classics such as "Smoke on the Water",  and other simple songs, i'm learning songs by Lamb of God, Slipknot, and DevilDriver.  So far I think i've got "Clouds Over California" down. 
But, Yeah, I havent necessarily gave up on writing, it's just right now I havent been inspired enough to write anything, and with the recent crash of my laptop, the longest thing I have ever written is gone with no backup.

So, I think I'll stick it out with the guitar for a bit and see how it plays out.
