Hey all,

Today's journal will be a little more philosophical than usual, due to the matter of life and death that have surrounded me this week.

Firstly, my 19th birthday was on Wednesday 29th April, and although I'm a year older, I don't relly feel any different. I know I'm not really supposed to, but the novelty of brithdays has long gone. The good thing about it is that the money people gave me went towards buying this sexy new laptop! Yay! Much faster than before, but slightly more annoying to use. I'll figure it out.

OK, the death part - i.e. putting a guinea pig to sleep. I can't say I'm good or bad with death as I never really experienced it personally. I did have an uncle who died, and that didn't faze me at all, but this guinea pig thing shook me up. I suppose having close contact with an animal for 5 years does that. But I'm OK now - part of being mature and wisened is to understand that things happen for a reason, and death can be a release from a life of pain.

Now I've got that out of the way, I would like to share my new life aspiration with you - I intend to be the next Timbaland. Yes, you read that right - the "eh, eh, eh" guy who produces music for so many artists these days. I recently purchased (well, officially, anyway) a program called Mixcraft 4. Even with my little skill for making music doesn't matter, because this programis amazing. You can pretty much make any instrumental track you want with it. Recently, I found that I despise the fact I can't write songs without abacking track as framework, and so I thought I'd try to make some of my own. I've not perfected it yet, but it's coming along. I may share the final result with you when I'm happy with it.

And finally, I would like to let you know that I am still writing my sci-fi prologue chapter, albeit from scratch as my old laptop has been deemed 'irrepairable' and I'm not paying £50 to get all my files off there. Not worth it at all.

Hey! I'm Mark, a.k.a. Fwaem. I'm also known as Tetro on certain parts of the web. "Fwaem" is an acronym: Fire, Water, Air, Earth, Metal. My belief is that the whole of existance is made up of these elements, and everything in existance can be broken down into one or more of these five natural domains.

I wouldn't call myself an 'artist' per se - I like to dabble in a variety of media and create different works inspired by different artists. My gallery includes a variety of different pieces.

My artistic life started in primary school, where my work was praised as imaginative and talent-driven. As I moved onto high school, GSCE qualifications in Art, Graphic Design and English Language & Literature build my ability for physical, digital and literary art respectively, however my efforts were mostly put into the latter two, as my natural abilities were more drawn towards them.

With a 'B' in Art, and 'A' grades in Graphic Design, English Language and English Literature at GCSE-level, my move to college saw me pursuing A-Level qualifications in Enlish and Grahpic Design. However, by this time my graphic design skills had started to fall behind, and by shear effort I managed to secure a 'B'-grade at AS-level. I subsequently dropped the class, choosing to focus on writing. With a 'B'-grade for English at A-Level, and a reputable writing ability amongst the student community, I aspired to become more.

Today, I work as a Trainee Accounts Apprentice, hoping to gain qualifications there. Despite this, I still follow my ambition to become a published novelist.
