A lot has changed since the last update. I'm not back in America, here to stay. The long wait is finally over. I got married and now I'm just waiting for my greencard and working permit. Things are good.

With relation to my 5 step plan that I was to finish before leaving Ireland...
The progress:

1. Get fit X
2. Get reasonably good at the guitar X
3. Learn French X
4. Learn Irish X
5. Complete my feature film X

oh well....

Right, enough of this wallowing in self pity. Its cheer up time. Just have to keep active and think positive. Fact of the matter is even if my America visa takes a full year, well at least after the year all this loneliness will finally be over. After all, why should I not think positive - I have the most amazing girl in the world waiting for me at the end of the tunnel.

Things seem to be slowly turning around and my string of bad luck is finally vanishing. I'm gonna treat the year of waiting as a positive thing and look at it like a timer in which I must complete a series of tasks before my time runs out.

5 step plan of action to be completed in a year:

1. Get fit
2. Get reasonably good at the guitar
3. Learn French
4. Learn Irish
5. Complete my feature film

The good news is the trip to America went great, so great in fact that I got engaged. The bad news is now I'm stuck here for what could be a year whilst my fiance is a thousand miles away. It sucks so bad, loneliness is the most horrible of pains. It has however, inspired me to begin making stuff again so I should be updating more frequently.

Guitar update - I'm actually learning stuff! Fingers seem to be following orders now and I can flute around with one or two decent songs.

It been sooo long since I've updated on Deviant Art...must get back into it. I'm off to America in a week to spend some time with my girlfriend, so wish me luck!

Spent 4 months playing a vitual guitar game Frets on Fire. Became an ace at it but then realised if I could have spent the 4 months learning a real guitar. I've wasted my life...

Worry not, I shall learn to play the guitar. Fingers don't seem to operate that way though...
