Can I just start off by saying that you’ve given me some great advice tonight, but I don’t know a thing about lighting so that’s a no go. For the time been I shall be just writing lyrics and getting an album together. it’s the one thing I need to stick with because I’ve always fallen short with a few entertainment type things that I’ve done.

The comparison with the Happy Mondays singer is a first and I’m absolutely thrilled. I’ve just got a new microphone so I’ll have a lot of practising to do in the next couple of months.

Thanks for sharing my stuff.

I fail all of the time.

The feeling of failing sucks, but it's something I'm all to familiar with.

People seem to think that I've achieved a lot in life, although none of what I've achieved, I actually set out to achieve.

The few things I really want to do with my life have thus far escaped me.

When I think of who I am - I think 'fail' and 'loser'.

I've failed goals before, but that usually occurs if I push myself to meet it when I'm not truly ready to proceed.

An example of doing just that occurred back in 2003 when I was in seventh grade I made it a goal to interact with other people. I set the deadline on the date of the next field trip, less than two months away. It succeeded at first. However, I went into sensory overload and as a result, my later attempts to socialize with my peers that day failed in disaster.

However, I did not stop myself from reaching that goal. I just removed any deadlines and just progress with reaching the goal when I know I'm ready to. I slowly made progress with the goal throughout 2004. By March 2005, due in large part to a girl in my math class who became friends with me, I really began making progress. By mid-April, I was socializing with quite a few of my peers. I was very proud of myself for finally reaching the goal.
