10 21 12 Building a Better Mask

my wife and i went to the local halloween stores yesterday, and for the first time, there was nothing there that really tickled my fancy, but i was feeling in a creative mood.

i began to think very hard about something i could do myself.

i saw a marked down plastic mask. i could see that there were some flaws in the design, thus the markdown. it was nothing i couldn't fix myself. problem was is that i wear glasses and a mask really doesn't work for me that way.

but if i make a full helmet, i can keep some extra room for my glasses. interesting.

i found a roman legionnaire helmet made of a heavy plastic. i looked at it, making sure that i could tear it apart as i needed. i checked to make sure that the two pieces could connect at some place. they did, with some adjustment.

i smiled.

i got the pieces home, and set upon my terrible task. after some disassembly, testing, and reassembly, i had my base form.  since then i have added an outer shell, and am now shopping for a few extra pieces.

my deadline is the 27th. fitting, its my birthday.

will i finish it in time? stay tuned.

10 20 12 Minor Musings

just some random thoughts this week

it is just me, or does everyone's @$$hole factor jump to 11 when it's a election year?


there are some things i love, some things i hate, some things that i love to hate, and some things i hate to love.


the truly nice people are a dying breed.


there are things in this world that are more important than money and fame. being a person who is good example to others is one of the best things to do. i understand that now.


never apologize for some moments, but apologize when its right.

10 10 12 relaunch and reboot.

the firs thing that i need to do is separate my gaming posts from the rest of my normal posts. from now on, all my gaming related posts will be here.

this is something that i've wanted to do for a while, and i think it deserves a home.

other than that, i'll hit you with some more stuff tomorrow.

peace.

10--09--12 Something New

I'm a bit tired of standing on the soap box, especially now that it seems that everything has to be scrutinized, debated, refuted, and generally argued.

I'm tired of the shenanigans of politics.

I'm tired of the blind hypocrisy of religion.

I'm tired of the general populace refusing to see the problems that plague us, tucking into their warm beds at night and pretending that everything will be ok.

the whole state of everything is spiraling out of control.

so, i refuse to acknowledge much of anything anymore. there's no point to it anymore.

this blog is taking a different approach now. i'm going to use this blog as a depository for my mind.

for the things that affect me, how i look at things, and more importantly, the things that i want to get out there.

so i'm just going to spill stuff here, as my mind wants, an just let it go.

i can't promise you'll read every moment, but it will probably be entertaining.

stay strong.
