I made this poem back last November, while I was walking to school one day. I was really depressed and it just kind of popped into my head.

The Leaf

The leaf, he hangs up in the tree,
high in the air above me.
He sits and sways in the breeze so free,
and touches the sky in his tall old tree.
His life has been the same far back as he can see,
so he wishes to fall upon the ground and walk along like me.
But the tree will not let go and let him leave the to be,
like man whom walks along the ground as far as they can see.
No, it holds him there sad as can be,
for he was never free.
No, he is a part of that great and tall old tree,
and will never move along the ground as like a man like me.
Till the great tree sleeps and drops it leaves as is the autumns fee,
and that leaf will die upon the ground and then decay like me.

For anybody who reads this, hello there! Been a member of DeviantArt for a couple months now but, to be completely honest, it never massively interested me. It has come to my attention though, that perhaps I should spend more time here. Anyways, for anybody who cares, here are a few things that have happened in my life recently.

I HAS NEW COMPUTER!
I built myself a new PC and it is freaking amazing! Got me an i5 processor, 8 GB RAM, and a pretty nice Graphic's Card (an ASUS Radeon 7870 $210 graphics card). I've been living with a Pentium 4 for the past 5 years now, and I got so damn tired of it. Anyways, welcome me to the information age everyone!

I believe I have been turned into a Brony
Not too long ago I badmouthed MLP and everything about it. I hated the show with a passion and could not understand for the life of me what the hell attracted people to MLP. I had watched the first two episodes of the show, and it just seemed so damn stupid, so I stopped. I play on a Gmod TTT server where I met someone who urged me to watch a few more though, and well I am kind of in love with it. It's an awesome show, and the fandom is pretty great too. Those of you out there who give bronies a bad name, I still hate you though. <3

My Minecraft server is coming along awesomely!
Anyone who talks to me regularly will know I have a Minecraft server. Fallout: New Minecraft, as a matter of fact. We recently received $40 in donations, enough to keep the server alive for a few months more. We have a nice and massive base of regulars who are on the server, though they never seem to be on at the same time. I still have a lot of crap to take care of on it though, like tweaking the plugins to work right, customizing specific things to function like Fallout, and configuring that damned CrackShot plugin so I can finally add guns. I have something like 60 guns, explosives, and custom melee weapons I am adding into CrackShot that I have yet to even start on, it's just so damn daunting.

Alright, well I think that's all I have to say for now, I will probably be writing on a here a little more in the future and maybe even posting some actual DA content, eh? I have a MLP Fanfic I am writing and a Youtube series that is MLP related that I am collaborating with people on too, so expect something!

A R E Y O U
- Understanding?: Try to be. Hard to understand most people.
- Open-minded?: I am extremely stubborn. Not big on change, or new things unless I am the one to bring them to fruition.

- Insecure?: Most definitely. Might be the most insecure 17 yr old in the US, err maybe outside of reality television.
- Random?: Do you even Random? Should've worded it like that. I could change it I suppose but I am too fucking lazy for that shit. Change seven characters? lolnope

- Smart?: I'd like to think I am. Though a lot of the time I do not make the smartest decisions, I am definitely intelligent.
- Moody?: I usually keep myself under strict emotional control, but like a floodgate if you open it up it all comes rushing through and it is a bitch to stop.

- Shy?: Oh yeah. Mostly because I do not know what to say to most people.
- Difficult?: Yes sir.

- Obsessed?: If I had recorded how many hours I have spent playing video games throughout my lifetime, you would shit yourself at how long.
- Lazy?: [Insert comical statement about being lazy here]
- Angry?: I tend to get angry really easily, and when I do I have a good control on myself so I bottle it up. Get me really, truly angry though and I feel sorry for you.

- Trusting?: No, as a matter of fact why am I telling you these things?

R A N D O M

W H O

D O Y O U E V E R
- Sit on the internet all night waiting for that someone special to IM you?: Special someone? Lolnope.
-Wish you were a member of the opposite sex?: Yes.
- Wish you were younger?: All the time. I was happy when I was younger. I may only be 17 now but I feel like I am 40. I sit here and look back on my childhood as my golden years, and they weren't that long ago. Now I feel like shit.
- Cry because someone said something to you?: Not often, but yes.

N U M B E R

- Of Cd's I own: 0, yet I have roughly 1k songs. Wonder how I got those. NO OFFICER I DID NO SUCH THING!
- Of scars on my body: Let's see, about 4. One on my left hand from a cigarette burn, one on my right arm from a plastic utensil war I had with my older brothers, one in my nether areas where I would rather not go into detail with, and one on my leg from when I was younger. Not sure how I got it.
- Of bones I've broken: 3, and one bruised/cracked that still hurts me to this day. I broke two bones in my right wrist when I was in forth grade and fell off of a slide on the playground, and the other is a small bone in my hand I broke around October 2012 from punching my refridgerator (spelled wrong but I do not know how to spell it correctly so go fuck yourself). The bruised/cracked one was me falling off the roof of a van and hitting my calf bone (not sure the medical name) on the hood of it back in 2005.
