Yeah, I'm not really active on here much anymore. I check every so often to see if anyone's trying to contact me (or if anyone commented or faved or watched. I like when people like my stuff. I won't pretend to be humble)

I started school at IAR in September. That's the Institute of Audio Research in NYC. I'm commuting back and forth so I still live in Jersey.
It's a one year technical school. Different classes each quarter.
I'm in my first couple classes still. I've got a Basics of Digital Audio Lab and Lecture, an Audio Electronics Lab and Lecture, and an Ear Training and Acoustics Lecture.
I think next quarter is music business, further digital audio, and something else.

So, I finally decided what I wanted to do. Quit my job, started school.
I'm actually enjoying it, too. This is nothing like the art classes (or any of the history/math/etc classes) at community college.

I'm not even done with my first set of classes and I'm already seeing the results of what I'm learning. My Digital Audio Labs have been about learning to use ProTools (audio mixing/editing program) and lately I've been finishing up on the project and sticking around to noodle around with the song we were given. I'm already starting to use equalizers and pan pots and other such stuff effectively (at an amateur level but y'kno)

Good classmates too. I kinda expected to be going to class, keeping to myself, and scramming for home as soon was class was out. But I'm actually chatting with my classmates during breaks and in between classes and such.

So, I'm happy I decided to do this but damn is it tiring. I get out of those at 10:30 in the morning and dont end up home til like 7 or 8 at night. It's the commute that kills me. A bus, a train, and a couple blocks both ways.
Worth it, though.

I'm still on Tumblr daily. Check it on my phone when I'm waiting for bus/train/class/etc. hyvoltage.tumblr.com

I've also been rewatching One Piece from the beginning on the bus and during my downtime at night. Such a good decision. It really is like rereading your favorite book. And I've been picking up on little bits of foreshadowing I didn't notice the first time around, some of which haven't been fully realized yet (the series isn't even close to over).
Started watching Supernatural, too.
I'm having a Movie Night tonight. I watched Drive (amazingly directed/acted movie. Love the pacing, the Driver, and the music.) and now I'm watching The Thing. Next one's gonna be a horror too, haven't decided what.

I think that's about it. If I had anything else to say it's that I kinda wish my TV Head would get a bit more attention on Tumblr. Wish I had some more art or a good photographer, someone I could easily work with. I'm still an awkward dude and that's a kinda out there request. "Hey, wanna take pictures of me acting up with a TV on my head?". I'd have a serious problem acting up enough with a photographer I'm not close to on some level. Either someone I know and trust well enough or someone who's a nutjob like me. I'd be too reserved and the pictures would have no energy. I've done a couple webcam shots but that can only go so far.

I'm done. Peace, friends.
