Very interesting site there, but rather confusing. It appears they are his journals. But when you click onto the breathe tab and then beginners section. I think i'm doing it wrong?

I just got a better job so now I need to ramp up my language skills, sacked it off recently due to exasperation.

Find a decent freeware drum program for Reaper and get on that shit as well. Just need a DAC and amp to start breakbeating away

The 'archive' feature is probably more useful, just browse through until I find something interesting sounding.

Sounds like a break will do you good. What are you you going to do with your time? Read, exercise, films, , etc?

in the "oh shit im in the big bad world" part of my life

wasted past 2 years of my life trying to prolong childhood in college, dropped out of one expelled from another.

mums kicking me out in a few weeks, im still under 18 so gonna get myself on the social housing ladder while I still can

feel like this is probably best for me as I'll finally be FORCED to become motivated and productive, I won't have the capacity to sit around doing nothing.

looking forward to the wild ride ahead

they have chosen a friend of mine to do some exams for playing in different football ("soccer" lol) teams of american universities and if any of the universities pick him they pay everything for living there and studying. My friends is much worst than me in football, he commented me about the exam but i didnt have any hope about it. I´m going to try and train really hard this year and get in a football team again to do the exam next year!

yes, it would be amazing! it could also be an opportunity of leaving the fine art studies for a year and get into something with books, i´m so tired of all the lessons being drawing, painting or sculpting is great quantities, is exhausting and when i get home i´m never in the mood of drawing my own things. i miss just being with a book studying.

everyday stuff. plus family. and family is the most important thing ever.
selection off the top of my head:

haven't filed my tax declaration yet.
was supposed to bring my rifle to the armory for the annual check-up today, didn't manage to get around to it.
regarding military service: I'm supposed to serve 14days per year, but have only signed up for 7 so far.
should visit my grandparents more often.
should make peace with my father so I can spend more time with my siblings.
should spend more time with my mates from back in the day.
should take my job as a prof's assistant at uni more seriously. it's an amazing opportunity to progress in my developement and I'm not taking full advantage of it, which is stupid.
absolutely have to invest more time and effort into my studies (5th semester, yet I'm 24. yeah I had and still have to work a lot to make enough money to pay rent and tuution fees and what not, but still).
should spend more time enjoying my wonderful homecity instead of just staying in doing fuck all.
should be nicer to my flat mate's lass, even though she's a snobbish spoiled brat. she has good sides, too.
should be riding my bike more often. it helps me to zone out for a bit and relax (I think that's why I'm not getting anything done, really. I don't engage in activities that help me restore my energy like I used to.)
I should also do thai chi every morning. that would be sick.
should go out more often and listen to some new music. for the better part of the last two years I've only been to my own (although very well curated) dnb night, and I feel like I could use the musical inspiration. local outfit Lux Rec is putting up really sick nights and I've only made it to one so far. attended exactly two techno nights in all of 2013. reminds me that I have to get in touch with a local club (one of the most beautiful venues I've been to tbh) to get something new going.

It may sound like I'm completely overdoing it, but honestly I got plenty of time on my hands to do all of this stuff without having to cut back on my relationship or absent-mindedly lurking dsf or whatever. feels like I'm one of the most privileged persons walking this earth, yet I don't do shit. everything is right there, all the pieces are ready to fall into place whenever I want them to.
