Ahh! Isn't this just too adorable? Look! It's Erik X and Curtis Rx from Creature Feature- As bouncy Pixels! Ahh, it's too cute! 8D Wow, I have such a Short-Attention Span. I honestly don't believe that it is healthy to sit here for an extended amount of time staring at this. Ahh, nevermind Health- I'm watching it otherwise! Hah, I bet you were aware of the fact that I was such a Rebel, were you? Haha! Such a Rebel.
Wait, where was I? Oh! Yes, my pointless rambling which commences nearly every stupid and ridiculous Post I share with each of you. Don't appear so negative for it! Hey, look the on the bright side- I assume that it caught your attention! Didn't it? Ahh, forget it. That's not the motives behind this Post- As you can clearly infer from the Title, we've arrived at that portion of the Year- The finals days! That is correct! Within the upcoming Five Days remaining in December, the Year of 2013 shall ultimately draw to it's final close. It's been quite the interesting Year, hasn't it? How have the events underwent and completed this Year affected my future? What have I left behind? In honor of the brilliant Year, we must complete a Blogger Tradition- The Recap.
2013: Recap!
It is impossible to deny that this year has certainly had bright and dark moments, concluding as quite the fascinating and extremely exciting Year. Where has 2013 brought me? Let's discover my Journey, counting simply by the Months.
January:
January was quite the devastating Month, and a horrid fashion to commence in the New Year. It was on the Ninth that Adam Gontier and Three Days Grace had announced his departure from the Band- Rather a shock to the complete stretch of the Fanbase. I was shattered in hearing this terrible News, and as a multitude of you understand, this affected my life for Months to bring.
Regardless of these events, I do not remember a decent amount of events which happened during January, besides the fact that it was a horrible start to my New Year.
February:
In February, I commenced in reading further of Adam Gontier's Story, and developed quite the hatred towards the Ex-Band Members remaining within Three Days Grace. With this, I returned from my Month-long Hiatus I had committed on this Blog to avoid question on my emotions directed towards Adam's leaving. In spite, I was still hurt over the tragic events which had happened, and as stated previously, this would continue to remain for a decent portion of the Year.
In addition, this Month was piled with terrible pieces of Vent-Artwork, most of which had absolutely nothing to do with Adam or Three Days Grace itself, and primarily focused on events in my personal Life. However, this situation was mostly resolved as the Month concluded.
March:
In this Month, it was announced by Adam Gontier that he was in fact, still continuing to write Music within the depths of his new Band, as he worked diligently with Benjamin Burnley from Breaking Benjamin. Though it was certain that I was not completely convinced, I was uplifted in hearing such brilliant news, though it was not eve the slightest secret that I still remained hopeless for the future. In spite of this, I did discover a new Band during March: They referred to themselves as "Alesana", and though they brought the scorned word "Screamo" to mind, I did find their Music brilliant, as I first heard "Curse Of The Virgin Canvas". I hadn't the slightest interest in listening to their Music further, however.
April:
Remember how I stated that I hadn't the slightest interest in continuing to listen to Alesana? Ahh, it is unfortunate to admit- I lied. Thanks to my English Teacher and Edgar Allan Poe with his brilliant Poem "The Raven", I searched deeper through the mysterious story of "The Emptiness", and I truly adored the concept behind such an Album- A Story in Song? Amazing! I loved Shawn's beautiful Voice and Dennis's deathly Screams, and the Band Members themselves
appeared quite humorous, and extremely appreciative towards their Fans. I swiftly developed quite the liking of this Band. With Bands in mind, it was announced that Breaking Benjamin's infamous Lawsuit had concluded, and Benjamin was currently within the depths of a Studio, working upon a new Album. This gave me the greatest hope I could have ever asked, and my shock over Adam's departure numbed, and slowly faded.
The Blog's Name was switched the nauseatingly nostalgic name of "Warrior Cats Now" to a creative Title which fits Me and my quirky Character perfectly: "Jersey Logic". 8D
May:
It is without a single doubt within the depths of my mind this this Month was a mixture of interesting and stressful events. In commencing the Month, the greatest Story was the uprising Security Issues brought to my attention, that I had never been aware of previously. The system lagged and dragged, and Viruses were continuously detected by Norton, though never officially disappearing. I was quite confused in devastation , for this caused conflict with my Studies. With School in mind, this Month brought to me a series of difficult Projects, Tests, and Homework all expected to be totally completed in time for the conclusion of the School Year in June. This caused quite the engagement in the balance of Artwork and School, though I luckily could handle the pressure. In addition to such events, Benjamin continued to progress with his newest Chapter to Breaking Benjamin, while Adam Gontier celebrated his Birthday with Music. Alesana's Music totally infected me, increasing my mere "liking" to a slight "obsession". ^^U
June:
Do you not understand what the Month of June signifies? Not merely Summer- Summer Vacation! Yes, this was the Month that I had at last been released from a stressful Year of School, and though I was slightly upset to say my goodbyes to such wonderful Teachers, I as extremely relieved- The Projects, Tests, and Homework were through! Summer had arriv- Oh, how I wish it has been this simple. Yes, that is correct!- I encountered a Second problem. Remember how I stated that my Computer had quite the struggle with Viruses? Ahh. In a Summary, my Family and I were forced to repair it, merely to find that there wasn't even the slightest chance of repairing the poor System. Norton fried the System in a wake of Undetected-Threats, and my Hard-Drive was in ruins. Recovering my Computer at this moment in time was hopeless- A new Computer was in order. With this, I was without a Computer for nearly a Week. Good grief. :/
July:
The new Computer had arrived!- A sleek, updated Computer with a magnificent Touchscreen and brilliant Antivirus Software- Sophos. I quickly discovered that Sophos was quite the wonderful piece of Software, with dedicated Workers behind its' creation. Of course, with such wonderful luck follows misfortune, as the Computer brought quite a toll upon my Artwork with the lack of Two key Softwares- HyperCam and Gimp. I panicked as I attempted to Download each of the Programs, which gave me the inability to create Speedpaints or Transparent Artwork for a series of Months. However, I still was capable of creating Picture Music Videos, which is exactly what was done in the conclusion of the Month, as I completed "Better Luck Next Time, Venus". In spite of such flaws, a multitude of new Artwork was completed this Month. :)
August:
I at last mustered the strength and bravery to Download HyperCam, and to my luck the Computer was not destroyed nor corrupted in the process, which I counted as quite the victory in my perspective. ^^U I do not believe a drastic amount of events happened during this Month, though I do remember that much of it was spent in anticipation and nervousness directed at the upcoming School Year- I had discovered that I was placed in Four Honor-Rank Classes, which is the maximum amount considering my Age. In spite of my infinite list of bitter apprehensions, the events at the conclusion of August were inevitable, and I hadn't the slightest chance of avoiding them- School!
September:
September returned to me my regular Schedule of demanding Schoolwork, though I worked to the best of my abilities, and I can honestly confirm that School has and still is progressing wonderfully, as this Month I was too, considered and accepted for an Honors Society. Regardless of School, I continued in casually improving and progressing with my Artwork, and I discover a "new" Band- Creature Feature. Though I had listened to the amazing "A Gorey Demise" for multiple Years, it was not until this Month that I discover the remainder of their amazingly horrifying Music, and truly adored it. With Music in mind, I waited in anticipation for new Albums underway for a multitude of my favorite Bands, and though I was still angered- I found the hatred directed towards Three Days Grace sluggishly wash away.
October:
In addition to classic and memorable events such as My Birthday and the role granted throughout the duration of Umass Band Day, October was undeniably the most successful Month concerning Artwork this Year. As I began to delve through the Halloween Season with the piece entitled "(-BaD-BlooD-)", I progressed in creating multiple, Creature Feature inspired works to express my adoration for such a delightfully-grim Holiday- Multiple of which, have developed to the rank of my Favorite Pieces. Though this Month was not terribly exciting, it truly allowed me to appreciate Creature Feature's talents- A chance which I am extremely gracious for. If it was not for dear October, my current disposition would likely appear very much alternate than it is at this moment in time. That's slightly scary if you truly consider it. Huh. :T
November:
This Month consisted primarily of School-Related Activities.- Ahh, Report Cards, Grades, and Flute Solos, this was quite the productive Month indeed. Foremost, I received a Report Card to address the conclusion to the First Quarter in the School Year, and in obtaining such an important piece of Paper, it was ultimately proven that I was appropriately place within those tricky Honors Classes I worked so dearly to liberally include myself within - In fact, my lowest Grade was a "B". I was too, forced to preform a Flute Solo before the Eyes and Ears of my Band Class, and though I do not believe I did the greatest to my ability, I have been told that I sounded wonderfully, which is quite the relief greeting my ears. With Music addressed, my Month was spent eagerly anticipating new Releases from Breaking Benjamin, Alesana, and even Creature Feature. Ahh. Though Drawing this Month was not prompt, November was quite exciting.
December:
December has primarily been spent working upon Commissions, Drawing, and merely sitting in anticipation for Vacation- Which conveys us to this current moment in time. Here I sit, typing what might conclude as my last Post ever written during the Year of 2013. Peering backwards in time, I discover that I have had quite the productive Year. Through the Hardships and Happiness, and Memories upon Tragedies, I mustered through these challenges. I what is arguably a most difficult goal possible- A complete year. As I peer forward in time, however, all that it visible is mystery. What will 2014 introduce? How will I as a person develop and mature? How will the total World itself?
I suppose that now, only time will tell.

I firmly believe that throughout this Year, I've presented such qualities to you- The greatest achievement that I could have ever imagined. Merely: Being Myself.
