Out of the fear of me being doxed, I won't reveal too much about myself here.

You can call me either Gil, the Coyote, or Wiley. I'll accept either name.

My name is Gil. I'm 15 years old, and I celebrate my birthday on May 12.
Throughout the latter 1990s and the entire 2000s, I've lived in a few diverse places.

• May 12, 1997 – October 2004: Pasadena, Texas, USA
• October 2004 – August 1, 2007: Wiesbaden, Hesse, Germany
• August 1, 2007 – present day: USA

If you're wondering why I use Wile E. Coyote to represent myself, it's because I identify with him a lot more than you'd think. Not only am I smart and lanky like he is, but everything I do tends to fall flat on my face.

When I was in sixth grade, I was diagnosed with ADHD. Back then, I found it difficult to control. Nowadays, it's not so difficult to deal with it, though I do slip up time and time again. I don't use my ADHD as a crutch, though, since mental disorders aren't an excuse for anything.

Take care. :)

So, it's been a year since I first started this blog. I guess I'll be using this more than I'll end up using Twitter (I only have 4 followers there, so it doesn't matter if I use it or not).

Anyway, now I'm 16 years old. I still am who I am, I still use the same avatar, and I still live where I've lived since 2007. Basically, nothing's changed about me in one year, other than the fact that I'm now an angsty sardonic prick and that I listen to punk rock and grunge more actively now (that probably explains why I am the way I am right now). Of course, every now and then, I still am my usual hippie-like self, but nowadays I'm a pessimist. I guess you can blame that on the fact that kids of my generation are complete fucking morons...

So, yeah, that's basically all I have to say here. I'll keep on adding to this tab a new photo of me and some more updates on myself as the years drag on by. I won't be adding more to this until some time in 2014.

There, I said what I needed to say. Now go look at my posts or something.

It's been a little over two years since I started this blog. I'm actually very happy with how it's been doing so far. 2,235 views, 75 posts, and I'm sure those numbers will continue to rise in the future.

My blog has looked much the same since the day I started it. The color scheme is the same, but there have been a few minor cosmetic changes. Still, it looks just about the same as it did two years ago. I don't plan on changing it drastically any time soon.

I'm (obviously) not angsty and sardonic anymore. I haven't been that way since earlier this year. My musical taste has shifted from 1970s punk and post-punk to 1980s new wave and synthpop, so you can guess I've been listening to a lot of Second British Invasion acts lately. I'm much sunnier now, and my urges to use British English spellings have invariably skyrocketed.

Anyway, now I'm 17. Much of me has remained the same, although this year I've been more introspective and pensive. I guess I'm trying to understand myself before I get out into the real world. After all, I'm turning 18 in May.

That's about it. Take care, and stay tuned. :)

I can't believe this blog's been up for three years now. Unfortunately, it's birthday was held amidst a hellish ordeal of emotions and relation strains that have done a number on my emotional security. At this point, I'm just depressed. I'm not even angsty; I'm just full of shame and self-loathing. The worst part about it is that it didn't even have to happen in the first place, but of course, leave it to someone to take my humor out of context and threaten to take me to court over some stupid videos. It was all worth it, wasn't it?

Anyway, now I'm 18. At this point, my emotions are in a constant balancing act, where making it across means I lose my friends and falling means I lose myself.

I really hope y'all are much better off... :(

Well, now that 2016 is coming to an end, I can safely say that this year was definitely better than last year. While it undoubtedly had its own share of devastating personal conflict, I think I've handled it much better than the last time I was faced with such conflict. Emotionally, I'm feeling a bit better now, and while I do still have those moments where I'm down, those are becoming rarer. Of course, I still need to work on my emotions, but such is the nature of being.

Anyway, at this moment I'm 19. I'm hoping to go back to college some time during the summer of 2017, since no one's hiring me yet. I've already filled out my FAFSA, so I don't have to worry too much about tuition.

I think the main reason I'm doing so much better is that now I'm spending more time with friends on Skype and Discord than ever before. They've all been such a blessing to me, and they really have helped me cope with my insecurities and negative emotions. I'm actually kinda excited for 2017. Hopefully, it'll be even better than 2016.

Look out, world. Here comes SpaceGuru5! >:)

Well, shit. It's only a few days until 2018. It's been a rather interesting year for me, both in a good way and in a bad way. On one hand, my experiences in BCT and AIT have really opened my eyes to what I can do, and it's honestly been fun. On the other hand, my experiences with the Alt-CC this past month have left me completely shaken. I still can't believe any of that even happened. Like, wow.

It should also be noted that this year marks the 5th anniversary of this blog. Damn, 5 years already. I really need to do more with this blog than I've been doing recently... >.>

Anyway, now I'm 20. I'm a few days away from returning to AIT to finish my training to become a SIGINT analyst for the Army. I'm ready to embark on a wild 6 year ride (or at least as wild as it gets for a pogue like me). Here's to wherever my path takes me next.

Look out, world. Here comes SpaceGuru5.

I'm a day late to do this. Oops. Well, lemme make this one quick. 2018 was an interesting ride for me. I spent a lot of it really brooding over what happened to me in December 2017. I eventually turned to alcohol as a remedy for my ensued depression, but that came to an end quickly. I finally started seeing a behavioral health specialist to help me with my depression, and it actually ended up doing me a lot of good. Within months my symptoms improved, and I think that's what eventually led me to making the comeback attempt I did just this past December. It was a year of retribution, but I think I can carry that wave throughout this year.

I'm currently 21. I made it through all my training, but I'm about to be chaptered out over height and weight standards. Oh, well. It happens. I'm still getting an honorable discharge anyway, and now I'm confident I can continue working after the military.

Look out, world. I'm still coming for ya.
