Ok, so here it is, my last journal for SG for about a year. As some of you know, I have been recalled to Active duty in the Marine Corps. I am being sent to Djibouti Africa for about nine months. It fucking sucks but fuck it, it is the last time that I can ever be deployed. Here is my location:



Below, I have posted several pictures of some of my artwork. I am disappointed that I was unable to finish the large piece that I started when I joined this site. The other pics are of completed pictures or jewelry (made from the leftovers to fund new projects). All of the painted work is acrylic and was done by Aaron Adamo, a true friend if I ever had one. Comments and constructive criticism are welcome



The white on this will be mirror, and the rest will be polished and colored. This is just a photo of the rough cut.

These are finished:

Now the big question of my life is, what the hell am I going to do when I get back? I have always wanted to hike the entire Appalachian Trail. I think that when I get back, I will go back to Smiths Aerospace for about three months and then start in the south in the early spring. I think I can do the 2000 plus miles in about five months and take time to party in some of the little towns it goes through.

After that, I will take a bus back home and probably go back to work and buy a caravan and a truck. Travel time. I want to start on the east coast and do some more surfing on the Outer banks of NC and continue on down the coast as the winter comes in. I figure I can find restaurant, construction and other work to help me along the way.

I may cross the country and make my way up through California on the way to Alaska. I want to work on some of the fishing boats up there so that I can return home with a good bit of cash.

I will miss this site while I am in Africa, but if you feel the desire to contact me here is my email:

Good luck to all of my friends and visitors.

I will be back..............
