"Having a blank slate is sometimes as daunting as it is exciting." - Joe Madureira
As true as the above is, it is sometimes exactly what a person needs. And as wonderful as it is to be joining this community, I'm still a little pensive. I fear ending up a trapezoid even among the square pegs in the worlds round holes. But - I've a need to step away from my comfort zone that has engulfed my life this past few years, and start reaching out to other like-minded individuals. Hopefully, this is a platform a bit more conducive to that.
That aside, I suppose an introduction could help.
I'm Kody. 31, in California's Central Valley.
By trade, I'm a machinist. Both manual Milling/Turning, CNC work and programming, and in the trade for 16 years.
I'm a music junkie. There's not really any "genre" I won't listen to, though, I'm a great deal pickier about some. I average listening to the tune of 15+ hours a day. Gaming is a, lately waning, hobby. PC, Console, Handheld, Mobile.. Any of it. Though I've begun Costuming/Cosplay again more recently which eats into that time. I also spend a good deal of my sparse free time on home renovations for the house I recently bought. 3 years ago I left a toxic and abusive marriage, and having been isolated from so much during, I've tried to do *everything* since then. And I haven't stopped. Something about "Idle Hands..." and all.
I'm quite into both Tattoos and Piercings. Lately I've spent a greater deal of time under both needles, making up for lost time?, and have been growing a relationship to potentially "model" jewelry for one manufacturer. Here's to hoping.
That, likely, covers the basics - Enough so to give a modicum of context to future ramblings.
So.... Hi.
