Having thought up of an intricate storyline for a book last year, I never got around to starting it off. I haven't found an ending yet. I don't want an ending that sounds far too off from the feeling of the story. That would alienate the readers. I also don't want an ending that would feel empty. It's unfulfilling. With what I have planned on the book, with the ups and downs, plot twists and turns, it would leave a bland taste. I will find an ending on the ride through the writings of these empty pages. It will be a fun experience, even to write it. It may never be published, but this has given me a reason to finish what I have thought of.

Oh, and I also decided to retake up the viola. I've missed the sound of quiet reservation, the slightly depressing and melancholic cousin of the violin. I'm going to order a viola from Australia. It's going to be a 16" Gliga Viola I. I have perfect confidance that I will retake the viola. So I decided upon a viola that would not sound like bollocks.

It's the first instrument he plays. I know he plays the Gliga violin. But it will give you an idea of what the "Gliga" sound is. I gravivate towards placidity.

Sup to those that still browse here. I guess I should give an lifeupdate thingabob.

Here's what I want to do, I want to be a commercial pilot (preferably bushplanes or light commuter/taxi planes: Cessna Caravan/Piper Navajo). What I need to get is a Private Pilot's License, an Instrument Rating, Commercial Pilot's License, and a Class 2 FAA Medical Certificate. However, to get there is gonna be expensive, $34K just to get up to a Commercial Pilot's License, which isn't including the accruement of 1,500 flight hours that is needed to apply for a career as a PIC (Pilot-In-Command). So here's my plan from today until next year. I'm quitting my job at Safeway, because I only make $10.14/hr and it's just not cutting it for the dream of riding the sky.

Soooo, I managed to get a hook up from my friend who does custodial work. They get $12.50/hr and work 10-14 hour days. With all the overtime they get, they manage to make about $2,300 a month. Here's the plan

Get a job there (which should be a shoe-in)
Save up extra money from working there: $11,000
Save up all dividends (PFD+native dividends): $9,600
Get money that is owed to me back: $3,800
Work the summer as a firefighter/HotShot: $11,000
Total: $35,400 (which, realistically, will prolly be around $31,000)

At the end of the summer fire season, I'll head up to Fairbanks and get my Pilot's License, Instrument Rating, and a Commercial Pilot's License. After I attain those I'll move back down to Valdez and start working at that same custodial thing, doing the same plan and just rack a ton of hours at the start of the summer of 2010.

What a long and arduous road it will be

on many different things.

My drawings haven't been worked on.
My photography has been a blank slate.

I don't have a muse right now, nothing's coming to mind.

Hopefully it'll all change once I move back to my hometown. The longing of my town is mounting, since I know that I'll be moving back at the beginning of August. I feel so much happier there, knowing I spent most of my life there in the cold comforts of Fairbanks.

Well, I'll upload a few new poems, not really that much of good poet, or at least pessimisticly I don't think I'm that great.

Vacation tiiiiiiiiime! Wooooooooooo! the 12th to the 20th hopefully. to the 22nd would be so awesome.

So I'm gonna head to Fairbanks and visit this chick and see how she's doing. I don't know how long I will stay up there.

D&D was awesome, my D&D cherry got popped last night. I chose to be a neutral evil half-elven ranger. It was 6 hours of awesome.

Wooooooooo!

I bought myself a Wacom Intuos3 6x8 tablet!
