I'm still alive.
Come this Thursday, I will have been employed at my new job for a month, which is great. I still don't really have a place to live, but I'm hoping to rectify that shortly by using the tools I have at hand; mainly the internet and my car.
Other than that though, I haven't made any music in about a month, nor have I even so much as touched my guitar in the same amount of time.
It's strange, the misery I had before I came here to Kentucky was really my only source of inspiration, and now that it's mostly gone, I haven't really felt like doing much more than writing things or working on concepts for my 2014 release, etc.
I guess a good analogy would be having an empty spot in a room for 10-odd years and then waking up one day to see that it's been replaced by a slightly different looking empty spot.
I mean, the void is still there, but instead of the void being excruciatingly painful it's just kind of...peaceful.
I don't really know what to make of this.

I also can't wait to see what i create once i get comfortable again.
At least that's my experience.
My homelessness, although increasingly ephemeral, is still going to continue for another 5 or 6 days (I finally saved enough to move into a 2 bed, 2 bath apartment, Nov. 5th is my move-in date). However, what you've given me is basically some breathing room, possibly a full tank of gas or maybe a couple hot meals so I don't have to keep eating cold soup or chili out of a can.
Also, I suppose you are right. The fighting has gotten easier, for the most part.
I've been planning to incorporate some different styles into my works, drawing a lot of influence from both Neurosis' and Godflesh's discography, and a few tracks from of a band called "Release".
Here's a song from Release that might give you an idea: http://bit.ly/17utFZi
I'm hoping to lean towards a post-metal/industrial/sludge vibe, maybe expanding upon the ambient/noise experimentation as well. Let me know what you think.
Anyways, I gotta get back to work. Thanks so much!
I'm really looking forward to whatever comes out of your mind next. I am digging the shit out of that song, and Neurosis' Enemy of the Sun is one of my favorite albums so hell yeah.
