Today is the fourth of January, 2008. I wish to extend a belated welcome into the new year. I have high hopes about this one, if only because it is a multiple of four and therefore a new president will be due.

My sight, while it is quite far when I look down at the escalator’s lower reaches, is limited when I look up. Clouds and choice platforms obscure my vision. However, I’ve studied the stars and plotted a bit of my course, so I can give you a little insight into what the year holds, for me and for this site.

Those very close to me - most notably, my parents - are aware of my short-lived desire to write a story based on Rush’s song 2112 Overture. Now that I have a good place to release my writing, I have decided to take up the pen and the MP3 player and once more see what can be made from someone else’s story. The length and completion date of this mini-saga I am not sure about, but I know it’ll take a lot longer than the 20:37 it takes to listen to the song itself.

Very few of you readers know all that much about the things I know a lot about - Pokemon, perhaps, is the most memorable of these. Pokemon has held my interest since I was about seven (or something) and the first game came out for the ancient Gameboy. However, it’s a concept extremely difficult to grasp for most of the adult family, for two reasons;

1. Its extremely large scope. Pokemon Red was strange enough; Diamond, one of the newest, is thrice as complex. It would be hard for anyone to fully understand at first.

2. The fact that my mouth is disabled, in a way. Stupid ADHD.

However, Pokemon is definitely not the only interest of mine that could use a bit of explanation for you. Therefore I hope to soon introduce a new category of posts, where I describe to you in my own thoughts something that interests me. Once you’ve learned a bit about something that interests me, some of the pictures and posts I might write about that something will make more sense to you.

Which leads me, finally, to the Digital Artwork category, which I hope to begin publishing works in. Digital Artwork is fancy longhand for “Sprites”. Before I post any of these “sprites”, I will write an introductory post that explains them and their usage. They are a bit too unwieldy to be described here.

As for my new year, I have so far only made one resolution - one that I think I can keep, realistically. That resolution is to practice guitar once a day, every day, for at least an hour. I think that between this blog, a few interactive stories, work, school, school work at home, work work at home, the friends and the family, I can spare a whole hour each day. Don’t you?
