Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

So, I was proudly bestowed the part of Dracula in a theater production and just had my performances 2 weeks ago. It was professionally recorded, so I am going to put the footage on youtube. I hope to have the links posted some time in the next 2 weeks. Keep stopping by to see if they're up!

Got two new songs guys! It has almost been a year since I submitted my last song (about 10 months)! I have way better effects and programs now and Windows 7 is easy to work with. I got Finale 2010, FL Studio 9 XXL, and Garritan Personal Orchestra (back from the dead!). I'm officially up and running again. Although, during the summer, there will be a lot of times that I cannot work on music, so now is the best time.

Take this facebook quiz, it is very accurate (surprisingly): Brain Dominance

The results are very accurate and the questions were too. I researched the use of questions to find out brain dominance, and whoever made that quiz knows what to ask. Here are my results:

Taylor took the quiz "The Brain Dominance Test" and got the result: Balanced Brain: 15 Left-Brain Responses/ 15 Right Responses!

Of 30 questions, 15 of your responses indicate you are left brained dominant. 15 of your responses are indications of right brain dominance. These results indicate you have a balanced brain, with no tendency to think towards either side. Those who are middle-brain dominant tend to be more flexible than either the left or the right-brain folks; however, you often vacillate between the two hemispheres when you make decisions. You sometimes get confused when decisions need to be made because, neurologically speaking, you could do most tasks through either a left-brain or a right-brain method! A balanced score means you are able to draw on the strengths of both the right and left hemispheres of your brain depending upon a given situation. This combination makes you a creative and flexible thinker.The down side to having a more "balanced brain" is that you may sometimes feel paralyzed by indecision when the two hemispheres of your brain are competing to solve a problem in their own unique ways. You may also find career choices difficult due to your proficiency in several different areas.

All I really did was get a new phone in the past month. Nothing special.

I have found out that I am definitely going to the Video Games Live Concert on Broadway on the 25th of October. It is going to take place at the Beacon Theater at 7:00pm. I doubt anyone else I know is going to this concert, so, I'll try to have fun. I also found out that my High School orchestra is going to Hawaii in March. We are going to play Hymn of the Fallen from Saving Private Ryan and Band of Brothers at Pearl Harbor and the Polynesian Cultural Center on Oahu. As you know, this will cost about $1700, so I'm going to have to participate in a lot of fundraisers. Unfortunately, Freshman are too young to try out for All State Orchestra, so I have to wait 'til next year. I have to stick with All County, and I might have made it into my School's Chamber Orchestra, which is practically made up of Juniors and Seniors. I also have my very own string quartet. I convinced them to play Home Sweet Home from Final Fantasy V. What suckers, lol. Oh, and by the way, I got 2nd chair in my orchestra. Unfortunately, the person 1 chair below you can challenge you to a throwdown. If the challenger wins, they move up to your chair and you move down to theirs. If the challenger loses, they have to wait a month to challenge anyone. I'm afraid my rival might challenge me. Hopefully not. Well, that is about it for my update. Hopefully someone actually comments on it. No one ever talks to me anymore.

My computer has a chance to live. We are buying a new motherboard (for the third time), and it is cheap. The hard drive is still intact, so when I turn on the computer, everything will still be on it. We wont have it fixed for about week.
As another side note, I might be going to the Video Games Live! concert on October 25th in New York. They are hosting it at Beacon Theater on Broadway, known for famous performances. Notice, I say that I MIGHT be going, I'm not sure yet. I have also found out that I also might be going to London in a month and Turkey in April. Well, that all depends on my grades, so, this might be hard, but even if I get my computer running again, there is a chance that I wont be on for a while, so be aware of that.

I unfortunately have some bad news, my home computer crashed. The hard drive went whack, so no more midis, VSTs, etc. I am very sad. I have a chance to get the files back, but it will be a while. For now, I'm using all FL Studio VSTs and some that have been suggested. Don't expect a lot of songs to be submitted the next few months. My laptop can't handle GPO, so I have to save it on a USB drive. Thanks for everyone's continued support.

My songs are now used on WZMR (World Zelda Music Radio) along with a few chosen others on newgrounds. You can visit the site and listen to the radio at: www.wzmrradio.com
A lot of people gave requests for recent songs (Lake Hylia, Wind Waker Mini Boss, etc.). Thanks everyone for their support. I might have the chance to become an independent artist. I need album art to stay on the radio, so here it is:

Alright everyone. I have made two videos reviewing and revealing my top 5 submissions to newgrounds. Make sure you watch the videos before visiting the song links.

Now that you've watched the video, here are the links:
#1 song
#2 song
#3 song
#4 song
#5 song

Again, thanks for everyone's support! I'm looking forward to another great year!

Well, school starts for me in 20 days. Oh $%@#. I'm going to be a freshman. Going to start driving soon too. Why is my childhood so short??? Ah well. I'll make it fun while it lasts. My house got hit by a straight wind, so my mom and dad have $30000 in damage from broken windows, water damage, etc. A bunch of trees in our area (small and big) became RPTs (Rocket Propelled Trees). Other than that, I'm trying to get some music projects finished. Always check in to see my music.
