Well, today marks the day I officially turn 33. I never really liked my birthdays past my 21st. They're just reminders of how old I'm getting, and how little I've done with my time. Plus, my body has aged about as well as milk. Joints are getting bad already, and the grey hairs have started to pop up. I can be a bit of a pessimist sometimes, I'm not sure how else to explain it. Oh well, it won't take long for me to get over these negative feelings.

As for the story end of things, yes I'm still writing it out. I just managed to get passed 11,500 words on the second part, and it's shaping up to be around 14,000 to 15,000 words. If I can get out of this funk I've found myself in, it should be done by the end of next month. But, if the past is any indicator on things, I don't know if I'll be able to hold myself to that. My brain is still in a bit of a creative funk. To those out there who are still waiting on it, thanks for your patience. I should hopefully at least finish up the second part soon, and hopefully it won't be another broken expectation from me.

Thanks for taking the time to read this, and for being patient. Have some music as reward.
