Ok....not much going on around here...just sitting around goofing off...anything new going on with any of you all?
lone_ranger:
the original stock flatbar is 1/8th inch thick. the blade is hammered down then filed to about 1/16th inch. would that be too thin to heat treat? heat treating my brother's knives in the past is basically, heat the blade to a dull red, let it cool down some, then immerse in mineral oil and move the blade around a bunch. So basically any advice you have would be a big improvement on this technique.

Alright...I'm gonna be going to a rave tonight. I kinda wish I had more people going along, but I'll live. My roommate might be going and the one hot girl I know who I'd seriously hit on if she were single is going. (I have to protect her for her boyfriend...he's never been to a rave so only knows what the media has to say...

So, I'm trying to plan a vacation for july...

I can't decide between going to London, England...or Toronto...

Toronto is much cheaper....but I've always wanted to get the hell out of this country for a bit...see some of the world...

Most likely I'll either end up spending a couple days in toronto, bumming around art galleries and looking for vintage clothing stores...

Or I'll just...

I think you'd really enjoy london. I lived there for a couple years and it was fantastic. I haven't been able to afford going back there though... try it if you can.

Silently vanishing, then reappearing
Slipping away for a while
Start dematerializing before your eyes
Always a step from our grasp


This is how I feel...part here...part not...it's hard to explain.

I just want to leave this life behind and start a new one far away...but alas, I've bought my house...the anchor that will drown me in this shithole of a state....

Eh, back to life...

Ok...so, interesting night at the necto...

There's nothing like meeting a woman, talking to her about common interests, hitting it off really well, and then finding out that she's married...

I should see these things coming a mile away anymore...

Other than that, the music was pretty good, I danced more than I took pictures for the first time in ages at a club, and...

it's good to be able to get into the music though, sounds like you had a good time other than that.

ok...I've had enough...I left the SG hopefuls group.

I finally had enough of reading about how photographers should work for free so the girls can get posted on this site. (and the site take ownership of the pictures from them both)

To be honest, I'm becoming greatly unhappy with this place of late.

All I want is to be respected for the work I do...

I'm looking forward to seeing some more of your photography man.

As to the OMP comment in the hopefuls thread...thats because OMP is a cluster fuck...90% of it is escorts, or girls wanting some attention and old men posing as photogs to get some....the site is a joke. (Yup, I joined it once...never again)just waiting for the membership to run out...Ive gotten 0 work from it, and NO good models per se'. OMP is a dirty word to mention wink
