Well, I made a lot of plans for last week. It’s part of my plan to become a “super power” in one year. Well, let’s see the progress so far:

Guitar – I started learning from scratch and I must say I learned a lot. I changed my learning method. I’m learning theory first, instead of songs. I will keep studying theory and once I finish it, I will start learning how to play some songs. I will buy another guitar as soon as I have money because mine doesn’t seem to be working very well.

Well, after a lot of work I finally finished Metropolis. Now that it’s released I can start focusing on other stuff. Believe or not, I started working on it on December 2011. I was working on it on my free time, so I didn’t have much time to work on it. Well, now it’s released. I hope for god I will get some nice money from it. Even if I don’t get, Metropolis is too fucking cool. So far I’m proud of it.

BTW, I’m writing this post from Metropolis and I must say it’s WAY better than the WordPress admin. Seriously, I have no idea why I never tried using a blogging app before. It’s very good to write a post on it. And I really really hope Metropolis will be successful. Yeah, I’m paranoid.

This year was an literally piece of crap. Last year I made a lot of plans. And guess how many them I actually did? One plan and two halfs. I did register my company, I did learn the basics of playing the guitar and I did get a little big. Note that the last two things were not done completely. Most of my plans for 2013 are still the same. The difference is that now there are fallbacks(i.e. in case I don’t get big enough, I will run a steroid cycle). I also have deadlines to the plans. Most of them must be finished until march. I know it will be hard, but I will have to do it if I want my life to get better. I really really will have to, no matter what. Also, I started testosterone replacement therapy(my T levels were similar to the ones from a 45 YO guy), which is making me a lot more motivated. I’m also no longer depressed because of it. Things will be much easier now. So, 2013 must be the year of the DOs. I have to act and make stuff happen. I know it won’t be easy, but what was easy in my life? NOTHING! Get a Mac? Toke me some months. Get rid of school? Toke me years. Learn how to code? Toke me a lot of time to become good at it. Move away from my parents’ home? I lost the count of how many times I almost got back! My plans won’t be any harder than most things I did. And well, I was able to do them so I will be able to make things happen.  I just have to believe. Most people can’t do certain stuff because they don’t believe in themselves. A lot of people say it’s impossible for your arm to grow 10CM in a year. Mine grew this in less than 6 months. Nobody believed it would happen. And I didn’t even take ‘roids. I only started taking them less than 2 months ago because of my low T(and it didn’t make a lot of difference because I’m taking just what I need). Also, not even my parents believed I’d be able to move away from their home so quickly. People keep creating barriers and that’s why they do nothing. I confess I do create some barriers too. And I hope I won’t do this for too long. BTW, this year I also lost my grandaunt, great grandmother and my grandmother’s mother in law(which I considered my great grandmother). Well folks, I wish you a happy new year and I hope everything will work out for me and for you guys!

We need more gun control. Guns are evil. The shooting in that Connecticut school is a proof of that. By making guns illegal, we stop people from getting them. Cocaine and heroin are illegal and that’s stopping people from using them. We all know it just works. Also, we should prevent people from buying cars, that way there will be a lot less deaths related to car accidents.

We can’t blame people for those things. They are absolutely innocent. We need more government to protect the people from themselves. I mean, people aren’t that smart and can’t think much. They need something to protect them. And that thing is called government.

I wish schools were gun free zones. People would read the gun free sign and would stop and think about something else, because they can’t use a gun to kill people inside a school. They can’t take it with them once they get in. I mean, everyone respects the law.

Don’t listen to those people who aren’t against gun control. They keep trying to use logic, but they don’t get it. Logic doesn’t work on people who want more gun control.
