Hello to all visitors and watchers caring enough to take their time to read this (which is probably Andrej and... that's about it, lol)

The last few weeks have been rather weird for me. After being discharged from the Israeli army where I was a medic, I found myself working for a security company sending people to help secure groups of people taking trips around Israel. I get to see Israel, which is, in any form and shape, an absolutely stunning country. The problem is, there doesn't seem to be a lot of work right now and I need the money, really bad. Almost all of my income goes to help pay my family's bills and debts so we're looking for a new house/apartment that has a garden so we don't find ourselves forced to abandon our cats. Some may find that odd, but cats are an integral part of our lives and we consider them part of our family. Leaving them behind will equal living behind a part of our hearts.

With the exception of this, I really don't seem to be in much of a good mood anymore. My closest friend is slowly drifting away from me, I feel absolutely no inspiration whatsoever to either draw or read, and I spend most of my time playing video games and working if there's work to be done. This is losing its edge rather fast but I don't really feel the need to look to change things up. Kind of indifferent to life as it is.

Hopefully this changes this Friday, as I'm going to see Korpiklaani, the Finnish folk metal band that's all about having fun and partying. I'm working the very next day, and that's not going to be too fun as I'll probably be too tired and quite possibly hung over.

...and next month, OPETH!!!

No matter.

ART
Well, I'd like you to take a look at this club if you aren't yet familiar with it:

This club is an amazing place for artist to get and give sincere feedback from people who don't necessarily have the money to request or giving critique as it is on dA.

You can read all about it here: [link]

Anyways, hopefully this slow time vanishes quickly and mood and inspiration become part of me again.

'till then, have an amazing week everyone!

...it seems lately that if I don't try to get in touch with some of the people I consider to be my very best friends, well, then I probably won't hear from them.

That's really painful for me, since my friends, much like my family and music, are what I rely on to be there for me when I'm down. I don't know if it's something I've done but I feel like I'm blindly chasing my friends around and they don't really seem to return the favor. One of them, who's especially dear to me, doesn't even return my calls/messages.

I don't know. Perhaps I've become an unbearable human being to them, but fuck it, I haven't changed one bit. LOL, now I'm just trying to come up with some sort of logical reason as to why I almost never hear from THEM anymore and have to be the one to stick his head up and show a life sign.

Yeah, it hurts.


Have a great week everyone!

Hey there peeps! Long time no see, huh?

Well, things have been happening over here alright. First and foremost - as of August 9th, I'm officially an Israeli citizen, and discharged from the IDF after three years of service! These three years were long but very productive and full. I'm very happy about the time I had in the army but I'm also super-ecstatic about going out to the world and dip my feet in the deep water!

Went to a Nevermore show a bit more than a month ago, and they were great. The only drawback was some unbalanced drum sound and a short set, but hey - a bit of Nevermore is already better than many other full metal setlists (:

Speaking of metal shows, I'm going to be seeing Opeth on November 10th, which is an eventful day - Swallow the Sun's new album New Moon is coming out on that very same day! It's going to be fun.

..and as if seeing Nevermore and Opeth wasn't enough, I'm going to see Korpiklaani on October 16th! Beers are going to take to the air, steam will fill the hall and all the happy little boozers are going to embark on a happy dance with accordion in ear and beer in hand. Going to be super awesome.

As for art - not much, sadly. I'm pretty uninspired, but hey - the new Wolfenstein is really awesome. Disintegrating Nazis using energy rifles and watch them dissolve into nothingless is priceless, and so is chopping their heads off with an axe in slow motion.

Andrej - you should try it!


Also - my friend 's boyfriend is in the hospital. Here's to him getting back on his feet as soon as possible!



Have a great weekend everyone!

As time goes by, the past comes more relevant, more apparent. You start pondering your decisions, your deeds. You suddenly become aware of your stupor, and wish you could tie a little lasso to the hands of time and start pulling them back, just so you could do things differently, more wisely, just so you can undo your mistakes and ensure future happiness. You stare at your hand, and instead of a lasso all you see is the air-shaped presence of your stupidity.

Like a knife, a strange surge goes through your chest and you struggle to hold back this eruption of emotion that might make you feel lowly and meek.

Oh jeez, look at this little babble. I guess all I'm saying is that lately I've been thinking about whether or not I'm happy with my time in the Israeli army, which is about to end very soon. Just a bit over a month, to be exact. Throughout this time, there's just so many things I've done wrong, with one particularly brilliant and shining and making me feel like the stupidest man on Earth.
