Hey fellow NewGrounders.... Boy have I got a lot to say...

I've had a big chance to take a step back from what I have been doing recently with my life, and my creations... I've had a chance to think about what's important in my life, and what I need to stick to... I found myself with these:

1. Family. Biggest responsibility I have ever been given. I have a fioncee who loves me to pieces, and I have a daughter who's growing and growing with aspirations to be the greatest achievement in the entire world for me...

2. Diamond Armada... Since the beginning of my art in 2002, I have spent at least 11 years working on things that have had it's ups and downs, but took itself to be an incredible standing point. When I took on the role of a family man, I lost many many people who got me so far in the world of the internet, and with every step I take for another chance at this life, I seem to stumble with the biggest consequence being that nobody really cares anymore... THIS is still something I am focusing my hard work on, and only wish to make it a much bigger achievement than I ever have done for the internet.

3. Onyx Colony... This is one of my favorites, since look at where this band has gotten to, it's been featured in Eddsworld, Eddie Bowley's "Iron Man", Tomska's projects, and even Bing! New songs are coming out of my brain every day, and because I've lost so much of that technology, things have been limited, and that's effecting the writing process at the same time... Nevertheless, this is a project that I still hold to me dear, and would never be able to do the stuff I do without the help of my fellow band mates, Liam Ledger, Joshua Speight, and Danneh Parkinson... Again some of my closest friends... This thing is becoming an achievement with every stride of patience and blood we input, and will not be going away anytime soon.

..... So where's the time in all of this... I have a family that needs me, I have a channel that needs attention, I have a band that needs to play more... So where am I finding this time?... Well to be fair I'm simply just not doing anything. I'm a stay at home type of guy, I haven't got a job to my name, I'm on the benefits, and all I have to rely on is my future... In this sense I also do need a job on the side, and that comes with patience, but at the end of the day I want to reach out to those that really gave me a boost in the past, and to only aspire to what my idols do the most... and that's make people laugh for a living. It's the biggest dream I could ever have, and rest assured my work is not gonna die out so easily... So what's my plan? Welp, a numerous amount of things:

1. Be there for my family when they need me
2. Concentrate on evolving with my work, instead of relying on old habits. Starting from the bottom and bringing myself back up with a better design pallet,
3. Focus on the music our band makes, and bring this to the hearts of many metal heads!

I'm sorry for this huge paragraph, but last night I had to take a look back on what I've got. Lately I've dug myself into a hole, thinking what I'm doing is perfectly fine, but with many many things going on in my life, It's began to puzzle me... Last night was a big chance to think about myself, and be happy for a change... And the time is now!
