Here I am, mr. positive on a new age.

A month ago me and her broke up. After nearly three years of knowing her, it seems she has vanished from my life.
Nevertheless, I'm getting over her. But so is my motivation for certain matters. Such as school.
I'm not the guy who's letting himself get friendzoned that easy, you could call it a re-friendzone, the thing she tried. Is this what happens to nice guys?
Yeah, I think it does! I think being nice is good, but just as friends. If you want a girl, you'd better play a little hard to get haha!
Then I think: can't some girls/ladies/women just understand that nice guys deserve a chance too? That's what bothering me.

For as far my education goes: I really want to move on, but the only thing I need right now is somebody to love.
Neil Young said in one of his songs: "keeps me searching for a heart of gold". This is what all nice guys hope to find.

So, after losing what I thought to be "the one true love" a new age is approaching upon me.
I've met new people when going out and, sadly, most girls are already taken! Such a competition here in the Netherlands.
All the new people seem to be nice. They are all different of the friends which I already have. Some like to party hard, others just don't know where they are going and seem to be happy with it.
Also, after such a breakup I've had, I noticed that my friends are real friends. They actually care? I'm a blessed man.

Yeah I'm as free as a bird now. Free from the chains that were blocking me from following my dreams. Such is the blindness love can bring.
I felt real shackled in the relationship. Only after the breakup you'll have this moment of realisation that you wern't really happy, just imagined to be.
Would I be ready for a new relationship? Yes! I can't wait to find somebody who deserves to be loved! Maybe it's someone in my hometown, maybe someone at the other side of the world! Who knows?
It's just the confusion that is striking me now. Is this the education I wish to follow? Why is it that nobody hears my voice?

Oh well, I've decided to take control of my faith. I do not hesitate to approach a girl anymore: I just do it and hope for the best.
I've lost more and more weight due to healthy food and sports.
I want to reach black belt in my sport Judo, therefor I'm training twice a week now and more intensive.
I want to create the body of a god(and no, not buddha!) to know how it's like. Luckily, the only thing that needs to happen is to lose 10 more kilograms and that's done. The muscles are in quite good shape already.
This summer... I'm going for a holiday(probably Croatia). Take my guitar with me on a road trip there. Once arrived at my destination I would love to feel how it's like there. Play some songs, let people sing along. That's one of my biggest dreams. So simple, so inferior in needs. Campfire+guitar+love.

Now you know why a new age is upon me. Thanks for reading! Oh and I will keep on crafting guitars, don't you worry!

Whether it's catchy or interesting enough I don't care :P Here's something from me.

22 years old.
I've been playing guitar for a couple of years now and it is finally starting to sound like something.
More important: My education is called ICT & Media Design(IMD). Right now I'm in the second year and I took Lifestyle as a secondary profession. Really, really awesome study!

What can I do?
-I design websites: HTML; CSS; Java; jQuery; PHP. Such are the programming languages i possess.
-I craft guitars.(more for a hobby)
-I can take professional pictures for any purpose.
-I can create visual art for a company such as: Logo's, Splashmarks and other designs.
-I use the following programs: Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator for designs and Notepad++for coding
-I'm studying the current skills: Adobe After Effects, Adobe Premiere; Audacity, Reaper.

My greatest quality is leadership. That is my key to success. Past few years I've been training myself to it. I've analysed which traps lie ahead of me and what I can do with this skill. I can lead a group and I've never failed before doing so. Most dangerously are those who don't do their work properly, or don't do it at all. I've managed to coach them on a way that they actually do something and even do it as they should.

Music: I hail all rock 'n roll legends. Dead or alive, English, American, hell even Chinese, if they have any... Just kidding!! Bands like Iron Maiden, Kiss, Judas Priest, Dio, Dire Straits, etc. always put a smile on my face :). I do also like metal, from Nightwish to Megadeth. From Led Zeppelin to Alestorm and everything in between. So it's simple, play the guitar, scream loud hit the drums and Rock 'n Roll!!

man, your guitars are amazing!

I actually have a homemade guitar (that was made by my brother) that was telecaster-ish with a sunburst color. it kinda reminded me of yours.

still, I especially like the legend of Zelda ukelele/guitar and the nuclear reactor stratocaster. well, of course I like those the most because they're the only two that you've uploaded!

so yeah. what kind of music do you like? I like new wave and shoegazing.

and about my dead friend/classmate? I don't want to talk about it. I just deleted the journal entry about it.

so yeah

At first, thanks for the compliment!

Yes the stratocaster with the reactor style was to be a failed project untill I found out that "rust" would work out just fine ;) haha

Currently my third guitar is almost(!) done. It took me alot of time to build it because of the abstract form. I'll upload a picture of it today. After that I'm going to make a unique flying V guitar. The current one is more BC Rich Warlock style.

I still want to make an acoustic Zelda guitar, but at the moment I don;t have a heat press for the sides, so it's a no go ;)

My music style is very wide. I respect any sort of music that actually has a meaning, but I can listen to rock and metal endlessly.
What style? Classic metal(Priest, Maiden, Axel Rudi Pell,Dio, etc.) and rock/hardrock(anything u can name really. From Led Zeppelin to Airbourne and everything in between).

I am currently busy recording/sound designing. But guitars will always have my priority!

And tanks again for the interest :)
