i have not been on deviantart in so long, and i have not uploaded any art in MUCH longer!

there is some to come. notmuch, only a few photos, but i assure you there will be more. my brother stole my digital camera, after all.

but i've just enjoyed the 4 day memorial weekend celebration of folklife, and i had much fun despite my current troubles. i think maybe my mind may just be playing tricks on me. my mom quit drinking but the pills to help her with withdrawls make her act drunk sometimes, but mostly just complacent or depressed. my dad still drinks. my brother still smokes. and i still continue to indulge only when the time is right, for example, this weekend was full of the celebration of the existance but not the abuse of marijuana, and my brother bought me a new pipe. it's very beautifully handcrafted , and wooden.

anyways, life has been up and down. school is almost out and i need to not fail my classes in 17 days. although i have already given up on one.

summer is close, i have plans, and i'm ready to take action. my voice has become more raspy, and i like it. although sometimes for choir that isn't always the best thing. maybe i should start a solo career or something. .
