So I started my work study job yesterday, which turned into me having to teach about a dozen people the basics of stick-wielding which was pretty enjoyable. I enjoy teaching. I find that by teaching something you tend to sharpen your skills in that area at the same time. That also allows the new students to practice on their own, because starting Monday, I'm starting a trailer and a grill, and eventually I need to start a portfolio for my metal art.
Well, Im back...but not caught up. I'm still trying to find the new equilibrium for my life. Over the last couple of months I've moved through a rough patch in life, and was forced to realize that I've outgrown some of the parts of my life and some of those parts are my family.
I still love them, but I no longer need there approval, and I don't allow there opinions to shape my thought process and I truly feel........ Free.
So now I'm going to catch up on what Ive missed the last couple of months..

So now I'm going to catch up on what Ive missed the last couple of months..
I've been all over the place the last couple of weeks, going back to school to pick up a welding cert., house hunting and starting my own small business, while trying to find time to work on my fantasy novel i'm writing, so I will probably end up dropping out of sight for a couple of weeks, but i will see you guys again in the new year....that is if the world doesn't end.
Basically this is my new interest, I'm obsessed with web series, and I've been looking into what i need to create my own.

It was an unremarkable event ; nothing more than a chance meeting, like two ship passing in the darkness, 2 strangers traveling down a foggy rain-soak road, an innocent happenstanced glance, but it was enough, because in that moment when our eyes met. I knew..... She would be my salvation and my destruction. The thought both excited me and chilled me to the core. in hindsight think I managed a smile, not the warm welcoming one of a dear friend, but the strained, akward smile of someone who doesn't want their face to betray their true thoughts. I guess it didn't fool her, because She jerked back as if spooked and her steps grew urgent as she sped pass me. I felt myself subconciously speeding up my own pace in the opposite direction, before i realised how futile the effort was.. no matter how far I tried to run, when i finally let down my guard our paths would cross seemingly by coincidence..Fate occasionally had a way of showing you that the thing that you think you wanted was actually the worst thing for you... and when you tossed magic into the mix... sometimes and usually became certainty. It was times like this when he wished he never discovered the truth....
