Some thoughts on 2016:
I think that we can all agree that it's been a pretty shitty year. Political turmoil, celebrity deaths, and a whole host of other calamities have befallen the world.
For me, personally, though, there have been some good things. I'm not exactly optimistic about the future, but hope hasn't been completely beaten out of me... yet...

Anyway, it turns out that 2016 has been my most productive year yet, with 8 finished songs posted to Newgrounds (9 if you count Dogborough Fair, which I don't. By the way, that's still my most popular song of 2016).

I hope that in 2017 I can beat that number. I'm not one to make resolutions, but if I were that would be one of them.

There are a lot of big changes in store for me in 2017. I'm going off to college, to study the one thing that I love doing without fail, and that's music composition. You might be saying "What a waste of time and money!", and to that I say "*mumble mumble* I guess you're right, but I'm doing it anyway *mumble muble*". I don't think this should affect my flow of music onto this site, though. Most of the stuff that I post here is music I worked on for the fun of it, and I see myself as always wanting to work on projects that are fun to me (even when there's an important deadline for something else coming up). Who knows, I may even end up posting some of my projects for college on here. Don't worry though, I'm not going to start exclusively uploading 12 tone pieces or anything.

We'll see what happens in the future. For right now, I'm just going to take deep breaths and stay busy.

By the way, not sure if I mentioned this before or not, but I'm working on a chiptune for Pixel Day that I think is turning out really nicely. Hopefully you'll be able to hear it on January 21st!

Until then.

Yours truly, and a happy 2017,
