i've been doing a little too much guitar practice that i don't stretch my vocal chords anymore.i've been singing punk rock songs my whole life and have had the knowledge that i've mastered the skill enough,so i decided to stray from my main genre by doing a virtual duet with Lanquery (a youtuber).here it is..btw,i sound nasal due to the low quality microphone.i'll get a new one later.

yes i know,shut up people.i know confused is spelled with a C but having used sarcasm,i prefer using a K.i've been meaning to express this since a long time ago.not to be rude,but i'll try my very best to stick to my vow against using foul language (don't think i've forgotten it).as you all know,being 16 (going on 17),a person is pretty much a quarter way through his/her entire life,therefore,their experiences can be described as almost wide.in this case,age is no longer something that should be part of the question.what's important is the way you think,whether you've mentally grown a little older than your physical attributes,your physical growth equals your mental or worse,you're mentally retarded,LOL.but that's not what i'm trying to bring up this time.what i want to emphasize is regarding experiences.yes,i do understand that one particular individual is somewhat underestimating my capabilities.i admit,i can be vain and narcissistic at times,but that doesn't mean i think highly of myself all the time.i do it for self-confidence alone.however,my humbleness is the culprit of all these underestimations and such.i am never proud of my skills for they are not truly mine,they are God's.God lent them to me.quoting MJ,'i am just a medium of God's creations.i am a tunnel that channels God's masterpieces to the mortal world'.that's how i look at myself.i never really show off,i usually do it for people's joy and pleasure.it's L.O.V.E. people,innocent love and love,nothing else.so,cutting to the chase,this particular individual is gifted as well.we share the same passion.not to brag but to tell you the truth,God gave me the knowledge and gift slightly earlier than to him,despite being the same age.i never really brag,i just like to learn things slow and take things as it comes.what this person does is brag,a whole lot! i know i haven't been a fully-organized person,but i am trying to improve by being more systematic in my life.he thinks it's a total ...what's a polite word for it? ummm..he thinks it's a total nonsense (yes that's it) to do things step by step.throughout our friendship,he's amazed of himself and wants to do things his way,which is perfectly fine until he tries to drag me along.i'm not saying he's not a nice guy,frankly,i love sharing ideas and knowledge with him.sometimes he knows the stuff that i don't know and likewise.the thing is,i have my ego too sometimes.he underestimates me too much,and it's getting out of hand as the day goes by.he's acting as if i know nothing and he knows everything,although the truth is,i am more experienced than him.experience and knowledge are 2 totally different things.take for example,an employee with a degree but little experience versus an employee with a diploma but a lot of experience.in the end,the more experienced one will triumph and get the job.it applies the same way here.yes,he has an amazing mentor,perhaps a mentor who's better than my mentor.but that doesn't give you the right to underestimate others.my mentor helped me a lot,what has his mentor done for him?taught him a couple of things hesitantly and eventually criticize him?come on..i met andy from flop poppy at beatspot the other day when i was getting a guitar stand.got to chat with him for quite a while and jam a little in the store.he told me to do it slowly.it's better that way than not doing it properly.master the skills one by one,just like karate,before you kick and break the board you have to do the basic kicking to strengthen your feet and stamina.in case you guys are wondering,i'm not bashing this person.i am being honest but i know my honesty will bring pain to others.i have no intention to offend anyone in particular.i have to let it out.this person has been plucking my nerves and i am about to lose my patience.it's either that or i'll give him the indifferent treatment.once again,i would like to say,please dude,stop being so proud of what you know.it's knowledge and it's a long way to go until it is converted to a true skill.i have witnessed you practicing the knowledge you own and indeed,i have to say knowledge alone is not enough.improve yourself before you judge others,ok?no heart feelings.people make mistakes,we're humans.i'm saying this for your own good.forgive me if i'm wrong,but i still have the rights to my own say.

it is once again the first day of a new year and a new decade.seemed like it was only yesterday when i was 7,we celebrated the new year,new decade and,as a matter in fact,new millennium as well in the year 2000.many things had changed since then,i grew tobe older and wiser,and more attached to my true interest than ever.it began with an expected sweet sixteen which partially turned bitter,somehow perfect in its own way,neither too sweet nor bitter,somewhere in between,just the right taste.i need not to mention them all here for right now,i'm gonna talk about my new year resolutions.RESOLUTIONS eh?i've had those back in the past few years but none of them actually work out.obviously i overestimated my capabilities and misled my mind away from the actual target.i've never been able to stick to one target at a time,considering how much of a multi-tasking freak i've been since forever.but this year,just for cliche's sake,i'll still make up a few resolutions(10 of them in fact,on account of it's year 2010):
