3. I'm obsessed with body art but only have 3 tattoos.
4. I have 14 body piercings.
5. I ride dirt bikes and skateboards.
6. I'm into cars as much as most guys.
7. I get buzzed off one beer, but I can drink 12 without puking.

Re: damn..
I like this topic, not only do the 10 things tell so much, but also which 10 things are shared reveals something also. It's hard to think of 10 that are good... I feel for ya Jude, I've had that happen before. Type out long posts in Word/Notepad and save them, them cut and paste....

4. I've been single since I started working with glass, somewhat by choice.
5. I'm gifted with mad computer skillz, but despise working in that field, so I don't any more.
6. I try to remain modest unless asked.

Re: 10 things
1. All the survival skills and practical how-to-make-it -work-with-what you've got, and what to do, life skills that I needed and use to this day, I learned in Girl Scouts....really, this is true.

2. All the rest of what-not-to-do-in life, I learned after I was requested to leave the Girl Scouts......

3. I was actually quite attractive when I was your age, but luckily my husband still likes me now.

4. I always told my kids they could tell me anything....I now know far too much........

5. Benjamin Franklin was my 10th cousin. Charlemaine is in the family tree as well as Queen Elizabeth, but I still don't see how that does me much good since none of the crown jewels are on my dresser.

6. I began college (nursing school) when my kids were 2 years old and 2 months old. And I did it all on scholarships and food stamps, graduated with honors and took care of little ones at the same time, so I'm not much up on hearing any excuses on why someone can't do something.

7. I met my husband in a bar where he was playing music while I was moonlighting at my former occupation(cocktail waitress) for the evening. He liked me cause that wasn't my real job and because I had a sewing machine. I liked him cause he had a cool camper-truck held together with about a million interesting bumper-stickers. I saw the truck outside before I saw him inside, and I knew I would like whoever owned it.

8. We don't have a living room or a bedroom anymore, we just have one room that we sleep and eat in, cause I threw out the living room furniture, and moved the bedroom into the living room so I could have a room for my glass workshop. Luckily for me Eddie is easy to get along with, cause I did the household rearrangement while he was at work one day. Surprise honey, you're home!!!

9. I was alive when it was unusual to have 2 holes pierced in one ear, and one in the other. Which of course I did.

10. Quite often, opinions and pointed words just fall out of my mouth, so I try to keep it shut for the sake of politeness, and I really do not like conflict, I just like to be happy.

peace....gypsea

Through glass i have been blessed and i thank jah(i'm not really religious but i think the 12 tribes rasta's have a good outlook and every ocupation needs a patron saint so hallie sallasie might watch out for the pipe makers. ) very time i turn my gas on

6. Aggresive in-line (rollen) skate boarding snowboarding freestyle walken freestyle talken and all the other fast ass jive that go's with it.
7. I'm single and i don't care I pretty much go out every night with my glass so unless she really likes to watch or make glass i don't know if it would work my last girlfriend was a pain in the ass, "All you do is sit at home and blow glass, I want to go out, Ya ay ya yada...." I guess you could say i'm an introvert becouse i kinda live in my own world.
8. I'm a student at West virginia University with 3 years worth of credits and no major.
9. I want to learn more aboult everything.
10. I try really hard to be a helpfull and kind person.

3) Been charged with manufacturing and distribution of paraphenalia on an intrestate device. all clean glass driving through Utah.

9) once convinced a border crossing cop/inspector that a box full of chillum's were actually small hand sculptures that you would squeeze when you are stressed out. Said they could withstand like 1600 lbs of pressure and the bowl and bowl hole was were it would sit on it's stand. He said "but don't you think that some kid could put a joint or something in the hole." I said "what's a joint" and was on my way into sunny CA. I guess i just look trust worthy with size 3 guaged ears and a fat "pyro" tatoo on my forearm.

Re: 10 things
Sorry peeps, i tried to narrow it down and 25 was the best i could do.

1 I went to my first underground party at a HUGE warehouse in Queens NY in new years eve of 1994 and met my best friend Dave that day/night. We've been tight since.

2 I have done lots of drugs of all kinds (no heroin) mostly at old school underground parties

3 I joined the army in time of war (desert storm)

4 I watched as all my friends turned into DJ's but somehow managed not to turn into one myself.

5 i love to dance good Deep HOUSE and i am good at it. http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/smile.gif

6 I am a religious pothead. In fact I have *fired* 3 of my nug dealers for being unreliable...No joke! They never saw another dime from me!

7 Somehow i ended up with a high end tech job at a big Co. People think that i have a real job but i dont think so.

8 I often give people the wrong impression of who i really am. This is not intentional.

9 I like handguns and small arms, but i dont own any and I would never hurt a fly.

10 I was born in the caribean

11 I am often generous when i should be selfish and sometimes the other way around.

12 I only say things that i think are important enough to be said. As a result, i am quiet most of the time.

13 I dont care about cars or sports as much as other guys do.

14 I enjoy ignoring the popular and conducting myself in unexpected ways.

15 I TOO HATE DRAMA

16 I never watch TV, its a waste of time.

17 I am a morning person. I wake up much earlier than i have to because i absolutely hate rushing in the morning.

18 I think slow drivers are the root of all road rage and should be fined accordingly.

29 I love the sound of music soundtrack.

20 I grew up in 3 different countries

21 I think in 2 different languages

22 Im one of the only straight guys i know who can have fun in a gay bar.

23 The only big band i have seen live is U N D E R W O R L D and since that will never be topped, why bother trying.

24 While some other men pay to get a hardon (Viagra) I'd pay to never have one again. (yes you read right and there is no typo) and no im not gay.

25 I chose the red pill!

Re: 10 things
Sorry, but ten's an unlucky number for me, so I'll have to do thirteen.....

1. I died when I was twelve, but woke up in the hospital where I stayed tied up to a medival toture device for nine more weeks, then tortured in physical therapy for the next year to learn to walk again. Decide then that life's only purpose was to gather memories that you can take with you when you begin your journey on the otherside.

2. Became very rich at seventeen due to court settlement, got kickked out of highschool same year for selling LSD. (they said I was head of a drug ring, but really I was just having fun with my friends.) Went to an art school after that so it really was a blessing of some sort.

3. Left collage less than a month to from graduation to find out what the real world looked like.Hitch hiked across the country six times to make sure I could remember what it looked like.

4. Am still married (as far as I know) to my highscholl sweethart because I refuse to pay for the divorce again after giving her the money to take care of it. We havn't seen each other in over 10 yrs. She told me to go find myself, and I got lost somewhere along the way. OH Well....

5. Discovered a group of people as lost as me (rainbow gatherings) and decided to hang out with them non stop for three or four years.

6. The only time I'm really comfortable in a crowd is when my mind is so gone that everyone looks like they are held up by puppet strings. (actually, that's when I do my best vending.)

7. Only saw Jerry play once(95), but have been a devoted Deadhead ever since.

8. Only thing that keeps me from being lost now is my son.

9. Drove a phsycadelic school bus across the country hoping to find my way home, got lost because the map was upside down.

10. Am forever addicted to the yellow lines flashing by on the highway, only time I feel totally comfortable with my existence is when I'm travelling around the country aimlessly.

11. Oh Ya, Me and my son (4 yrs old) are going on the road this summer to do an art project togethor cald "land that I love" a photo essay of all the great things we do when we get lost.

12. My first memory as a kid (4 or 5issh) is hitchhiking through the desert with my dad, I think we were lost.

13. I'm broke now, but not as broke as I've been before and I refuse work more than I have to. Amazingly, every time I need money, it manifest itself somehow. When it comes to understanding finances, I am lost.http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/tongue.gif

Re: 10 things oh oh..
wait..

peeps, dont take it the wrong way k.. i was just pissed at my now ex girfriend when i wrote that.

and about the gay bar,.. i have been in the past long ago and had a decent time (without a hardon!)

If gay means that you are sexually attracted to people of the same gender as you then i dont qualify to be gay. I am not attracted to men in the least bit. And you are right, there is nothing wrong with being gay. so there is no reason to deny it if you are anymore.

If gay means you like to dance and you have a best friend and you like a place without the meat market feel to it .. well, then i guess im gay.

make your own judgement.

i didn't mean to start any confusion... despite the impression, there is no confusion here.


hope this helps.

10 things--

1. I am married to my Jr. High, High School and College sweetheart. (no I don't have three wives ;) )

2. I love energy healing, meditation, Astral Travel and most New Age things.

3. I am into most outdoor sports, but mostly hiking, whitewater kayaking and rafting. I used to be really into rock climbing. I downhill ski quit a bit (the ski resort is 15 minutes from here).

4. I am a pretty decent slackliner. (my record is 33 times back and forth across a 45 ft line- and then a friends kid came over and I lost my concentration)

5. I am an environmentalist and consider the well being of our environment a major concern.

6. I am lazy

7. I am not afraid to die (I do it every night), but I am afraid of missing out on the rest of this particular life.

8. I play the didjeridoo

9. I like Texas Hold'em poker

10. I've learned that the best way to get a deal at a bar in a foreign country is to say that you are a Grad student at Stanford and as your final project (thesis) you have decided to write a guide book about bars and nightclubs of the particular country you are in. Of course you can't afford to pay at all of the places you have to go to. Believe me...every bar owner wants to be in a guide book so you will get free drinks all night. Just be sure to skip out before he starts asking too many questions.

This is fun

Peace

1 My first name isn't actually Jack ;)

2 I can't fall asleep without a TV on if I am sleeping at home.

3. If I had the $$ and the skills to do it I would be a professional poker player and blow glass as a hobby.

4 I am a recovering crystal meth addict (2 yrs 1 month 9 hrs 8 min and 37 seconds) ;)

5 I have sole custody of my son who is 12

6 I met my girlfriend of a yr and a half online(not thru a dating site) and have been looking at rings :D

7 If I don't get enough coffee in my system I am NO fun (prolly something to do with the ol meth thing)

8 I used to spend a great deal of time seeking the approval of others because I didn't approve of myself

9 I am closing on a house:D:D:D:D:D:D

10 I am opening a school in a warehouse space in the late spring. If I'm lucky maybe some of the kind folks at this forum will come thru for guest spots and teach. Hell; maybe some of the newbies will even take classes from me ;)

12-21-2005, 03:52 PM
Okay, I'll do ten more if that is allowed (I am trying to avoid cleaning the house). ;)

1. I understand that it is better to keep my mouth shut and let people think that I am stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

2. But that doesn't stop me from opening it.

3. I have been collecting and reading Louis L'Amour books since gradeschool. I finally bought the last one about 3 months ago. I think I have like 130 or 140 of them. They're all the same after a while. "Cowboy fights outlaws and wins girl in the midst of it all". But damn, I just like them.

4. My wife is way smarter than I am. I think she got straight A's from kindergarten through college with the exception of 2 or 3 B's.

5. As a result, she is my sugar momma and I blow glass.

6. I love hammocks, but I don't have a nice one (I only have a small backpacking one).

7. I know just enough about mixed martial arts to get my assed kick in a fight. You know what I mean. The guy that pulls out his sick moves, but gets his head punched in in the mean time. But luckily I'm not a fighter. I'd rather talk myself out of it anyday. Or just let people think I'm a pussy. My face is too pretty to get F'd up over some drunk ass.

8. My last job was extremely interesting. I was in Crisis Intervention and Transporting. In fact I may have taken some of you younger folks to a program. Basically I showed up in a kids bedroom at about 3 am, woke him up and took him to a program (rehab, boarding school, desert boot camp, pych hospital, etc.). I have been in many fights (me restraining them, and them trying to kill me) because of this job. And let me just say that there are some big strong 17 year old kids out there. Especially when they are still high when you show up. I traveled all over North America for this. But I had to quit. It was too hard when I had to take someone somewhere that I didn't think really needed to go. Some of the parents were the ones that needed to go instead of the kid. (the worst was when kids got sent away for a year because the parents found a joint) But some kids really really did need the help.

9. Napolean Dynomite is exactly what my school was like.

10. I used to do a lot of things really well. Now I just talk about how cool I was.

Now I am going to have to find something else to do to avoid cleaning the house (I told you I'm lazy)

01-16-2006, 01:30 PM
hmmmm i guess ill try

1.there are 2 of us, jeff and cristi, when we met, jeff was engaged. now we are married to each other....

2.because nobody likes either of us

3.we have 2 kids, ( 4 and 1) both of wich skateboard...the baby's just learning...we do too, and a bullmastiff named miss bella (yea were dorks)

4.we're 25 and 24, both used to be fiends as well(no, not while we had the children). now were vegan (fuckin vegetarians) and so are our kids...and yes we ARE all very healthy. except jeff because hes a smoker

5. the 4 yr old is not jeff's kid but his dad decided hed rather be a stupid hippie instead of a father so he became jeff's

6. we're not hippies, but i will admit that i used to do tour (sweetpea)... we were, however, both squatters for years (until the cops threatened to take the kid).

7. cristi quit smoking after 14 years of smoking a pack a day (yea, i started lots of things at a very young age)....its been almost 5 months...yeah!!!

8. we are homeschoolers(montessori style) because we are both poster children for the evils of the public schooling system (very high iq's very low grades) and believe that public schools focus on very few skills, mainly taking tests and memorization, instead of exposing children to a multitude of skills to find out what they are good at

9. one time i got into a fight with sol in santa cruz and threw all of his stuff out of the van like the emotional woman i was at the time (my sons dad just left me). we love him though, even though he is a hippie, and he taught us how to play with glass....weve only been doin it for like 6 months...

10. if you want to get rid of us, put the dead or phish in and we will clear the room quickly(i guess we just overkilled it as kids.) we do love music though. mostly hiphop, punk and reggae. or start talking about religion. we are both very spiritual, but have a problem with organized religion


ok now im done.....

8) spiritually oriented, religiously repulsed, don't believe in imposing views on others

It will be hard to do this without mixing up Andy and my stuff...

1a. I lived in 8 different places before out of high school cause my mom got married and divorced a lot.
1b. Andy on the other hand lived in the same town until he left home.

2a. I have a wicked step mother that regularly makes me feel like a pile of shit even though I try to convince myself that I am a grown up now.
2b. Andy's parents were divorced and then re married...

3a. I used to write (have been published), paint, sculpt & draw constantly. Went to college with a major in creative writing and a minor in art.
3b. Now I do none of that and Andy blows glass....

4a. I am very sarcastic, but hold my tongue a lot cause I don't want people to take me wrong. Especially on the internet cause you can't see my grins!
4b. Andy takes me wrong a lot....I'm good at hurting his feelings... :devil1:

5a. I love traveling and road tripping have been doing it since I was little
5b. When I met Andy he had never left Minnesota

6a. I am often hard on myself and dislike myself, but I know what I need to change and am just to lazy to do it
6b. Andy just tells me he loves me how I am. (I tell him to stop being selfish, it's not about you :dieslaugh )

7. Andy and I were neighbors in Minneapolis for over a year before we met. I met his roomates before him cause in his mind he didn't need any more friends. We lived together ever since.

8. Andy and I were together for 7 years and 2 children before we got married.

9a. I grew up with a mom who only listened to show tunes. So technically I have only been listening to good music since college....therefore I can not name anyone, any song name, any album name and sometimes any band name.
9b. Andy's dad has been in the same band for 20 years and used to wake Andy up at 3 in the morning and make him go in the basement and listen/play music/guitar. Andy has played guitar for 14 years, his brother plays guitar and his dad still plays guitar. Andy names all the people, bands, albums, songs for me :bouncy:

10. My desk is a mess, my house is a mess, my brain is often a mess, my basement is a mess and my garage is a mess. But I am sitting on this computer typing this instead of cleaning any of that. The mess drives me absolutely crazy, yet I do nothing about it :contempla (maybe I just need a psychiatrist instead of a forum.......to be continued)

3)I can solve the rubiks cube in less than 2 minutes.

4)I own a cruiser bucycle with ape-hanger handlebars and a three speed internal gear hub. It has an old school roller brake as well.

5)I can tie a cherry stem into a knot with my tounge.

6)I think I have found my soulmate.

8)I've killed a chicken with my bare hands, and then ate it after it was cooked.

02-10-2006, 10:07 AM
ok. Let's see if I can come up with ten:

1) My full first name is Christy, which is my father's middle name, and his mother's maiden name. Dad goes by Chris and so do I, thank you very much. :tiphat:

2) My sister and I were supposed to be born on the same date, but five years apart. They had to induce labor on my mom because I wanted my own damn birthday :tantrum: , so my sis and I are 5 years and 5 days apart. Maybe this is really saying something weird about my parents' sex life, but I try not to think about that too much. :o:

3) I've lived here in Ft Wayne, IN since I was about 10 1/2. Before that Dad was in the Air Force, so we moved around a bit. It went like this: born in Kokomo, IN; stationed in Vegas for a minute; back to West Lafayette, IN; out to North Chelmsford, MA; down to Shalimar, FL; and back up to Ft Wayne, IN. I was not very amused to leave FL to come to IN.

4) Every chance I get, I drive 860 miles from Ft Wayne to Hatteras, NC. That is where my Mom is from, and my parents have moved back there since my Dad retired. I also have more family there than you can poke a stick at there. My Mom knows exactly how they are all related. I can never dream of keeping it all straight (second cousin, twice removed, blah blah blah). I'm just glad not to have grown up there, as I would never be sure whether I was actually committing an act of incest or not. :crazy:

5) I quit smoking those damn dirty cigarettes just over 8 months ago. Cold turkey off two packs a day, biotch! :metalhead I am now one of like 3 or 4 of my friends who actually do NOT smoke those nasty things. And now that I am out from under that, I can't believe that I was so into it. Blech. Yep, I am the worst kind of ex-smoker. And everyone I work with chain smokes.

6) I've been living with my man, Wes for 9 1/2 years now. We do not plan to get married, or have any kids. And I have finally gotten most of our friends and family to shut the hell up about both of those issues.

7) I spent a month in Morocco when I was 15 with a family far wealthier than should be allowed. Total culture shock. The ocean there was beautiful. The open air markets were a trip, and the local men were relentless.

8) I am a singer, and I can't remember a time when I wasn't. It's just always been part of who I am. And if you go on a road trip with me, you had better be ready for a show. The only way I'm not rockin' out in the car is if I don't know the song.

9) I had a breast reduction about ten years ago. No one really needs to be a FF cup. :flasher: Especially not if insurance will cover the operation. I had never even had so much as a stitch before that surgery. Thankfully, the scars are pretty much gone, and I don't feel like Frankentit anymore. I'm glad I did it.

10) Lookie there, made it to # 10...that took a while. I think you may already know too much. Probably more than you ever wanted to. How about something a little less personal: my drink of choice is Jack & 7, and I like my pizza plain cheese, please. :blowkiss:

OOOO! MY TURN! :jump:

1) I started working on the torch after 1 week course at Haliburton School of the Arts and I am moistly self-tought and planning on attending Salem CC's art glass course (in Sept. 07)

2)Before I got into glass I was a painter and illustrator who was just accepted into digital animation at Humber college (a very good school) but i turned in down to purse my glass addiction

3) the human figure and anathomy inspires my work, teachers have told me that I have an apparent great masters look to my work (well my drawings anyway)

4) I work at an artist co-op in Kingston, NGB Studios

5) I have 2 part-time jobs, one as a night janitor (allows me to work morning at my studio) and 2 days a week at a all natural food store (it dosn't pay much but as parttime work goes its pretty enjoyable), i usaually work 25hrs a week and I work in the studio on my off days

6)Im a geek/artist, I spend some of my spare time (outside studio) gaming, I've been playing less video games and more board games lately. I also enjoy P&P RPGS, Table-top mini games, and fantasy, historical and conspiracy theorist books.

7) Rock 'n Roll and beer rule. I LOVE GUINESS, SLEEMENS HONEY BROWN & CREAM ALE, MEGADETH, LED ZEPPELIN, CHILDREN OF BODOM, and DREAM THEATER. I listen to alot of Blues, metal, punk and classic rock.

8) I am honest, hardworking and learning disabled, i like argueing about religion, politics and philosophy, i am not associated with any purticular group (liberal or conservative) because I see faults in both groups. members and followers of both groups are usually ignourant or scared to agree with the other side/admit fault

9) People say I am funny in a strange expressive way, others say Im weird in a strange expressive way, and a few insecure assholes say im stupid in a strange expressive way.

10) I SUX AT SPELLEN SO FORGIVE MY ERROERS

11) I believe in co-op organizations like NGB studios and online communities like the melting pot :canadian:

6. it's hard for me to drink beverages other than coffee and beer when they don't come with a straw. straws are good, and everything tends to taste better when it comes from a straw. neon colors are preferable. i often carry straws with me to avoid the horrible eperience of not having one when i want it.

7. im secretley white trash. i frequently buy things from infomercials, like boxed wine, and watch soap operas.

8. i own 8 velour sweatsuits. one neon green terrycloth one, and a bright pink cotton one. i wear them frequently.

7. I like peanut butter and dill pickle sandwiches.

6. I love tattoos and would love 1 or 2 but to date have none (wife issues :bangHead: )

5. In my lifetime I have done plumbing, rough carpentry, metalworking, roofing, automechanics (4x4s mostly, built my own rock crawler), snowplowing, building gaming custom gaming computers, and HVAC. This is on top of excavating, sandblasting, making headstones, pouring cement, and groundskeeping that I do in my 9-5 job.

4. I was in the army for 10 weeks and got a general discharge for a 'pre-existing' injury (government screwed me).

3. I love cats and have 3 spoiled girls Patricia (tittles), Holly (monkey), and Jinx (dink).

I drive a 1986 chevy blazer with 33" sidewinder m/ts and a rear locker with plans to upgrade to 3/4 ton 4.10 axles with rear locker, SM465/NP205 tranny and Tcase, built 350 sbc, hooker headers dunping into 2 1/2" stainless dual exhaust with flowmaster 40s, edelbrock performer aluminum intake with an edelbrock 750 4bbl carb.

1) i have always wanted to be a boxer, except i'm a four eyes and kind of a pussy; even though i think about it seriously sometimes, i have never put on a pair of gloves.

2) i love tobacco which means i hate myself.

3) after a short period of years where i took the practices professionally, i no longer drink alcohol or take hallucinogenics. except . . . . well, there are exceptions.

4) in the late 80's, as a kid, i taught sunday church school. in 1993 i spoke in tongues, writhing on the floor next to a man with a full back tattoo of jesus in a bed of marijuana. in 1994 i was hunted by an angel who finally caught up to me on a greyhound bus, he wore all white and ate sausages he said were from a dumpster, he told me none would be spared and that my path was marked. in 1999, i left my body via DMT and saw god; i said i was scared, he said 'my shield protects you'. in 2004, closer to the edge of the human mind than i have ever been, i told god that i would sacrifice my life to be a glass craftsman of skill; he said, 'done'.

5) i owned a head shop in boulder, colorado before i stared lampworking called happy harold's glass warehouse. i sold pipes and had a snack bar that served soggy sandwiches, hemp ice cream and fifty sacks. one day the police came to the store and said they thought i should take a vacation. i said when do you think i should go, they said before tomorrow morning; i moved to up state new york.

6) i am working in the eleventh glass shop i have built; i hate the idea of moving again but know i will soon.

7) i often dream of a boro girl, tall with blond hair, vegetarian, red westphalia camper and a 24" stienheart; but i've never met her. maybe she dreams of me.

8) i have a dog named ruby, she is the reincarnate of this other dog named cedar; when cedar died i buried her with a to-go plate of bacon from dot's dinner cause that was her favorite. wild flowers grow strong from the grave, ruby likes to pee on them.

9) twice in my life i have tried to join the us army and twice i have been rejected. twice i have quit a job, moved out of a house and sold off my life to ready myself for the service and twice, after a handfull of weeks, was returned to the boston buss station empty handed. the second time, as the fort jackson doctor was signing my discharge prior to training papers, i asked him what kind of a man am i that i am unfit to catch a bullet for my country. he told me, son, i'm happy to say you'll have the chance to find out. the army sent me a bill for $11.50 for laundry services rendered; i let it go to collections.

10) even though it has moved so many times before, the only place on earth i have always felt welcome and excepted is in my glass shop. and so i stay there.

1. I love my garden.

4. I don't steal or lie.

5. My truck is a year older than my oldest daughter and more reliable.

Probably too much information, but here goes:


1- My parents signed me out of school in 1982 (16 years old), because I felt that working was more productive than going to school. I have been working full time since then…presiding over 3 corporations and 2 sole proprietorships… but was always an entrepreneur, and have been working since I was 12 years old.

2- I despise liars, thieves, cheaters, and those who take advantage of “the system”.

3- I served in the U.S. Army as a Military Police Officer, as well as the police equivalent of the “SWAT Team”. I am Special Forces qualified in explosives and demolition, and an expert marksman with the M-1911, M-16, M-60, and M-203 grenade launcher.

4- I met and dated the love of my life 25 years ago (more than ½ of our lives), and have been happily married to her for the past 15 years. We have never even raised our voices to / at each other… EVER. Any disagreements are resolved diplomatically with compromises that we both agree with.

5- I have had 5 dogs in my life, and all of them ended in some sort of tragedy and severe heartbreak. As much as we love animals, Elaine and I will never have another one… we love them TOO much. I loved my dog “Blackie” so much, that I wanted to die before she did so I didn’t have to go through the pain of losing her.

6- High moral standards are paramount to me… so much so, that even I can not live up to them.

7- I enjoy giving far more than receiving, and have always wanted to be a philanthropist. This is why I am leaving our facility to the glass community.

8- I am a hermit / homebody / loner, and do not like to travel. I am very content living in my own private world here in the middle of “nowhere”, but I enjoy… and am proud of… providing a place where like minded people (glass workers) can converge and learn from each other.

9- I’m a die hard 80’s metal head, and occasionally dress the part for fun when I blow glass. It’s kind of a cross between Rob Halford (Judas Priest), Bruce Dickinson (Iron Maiden), Lemmy Kilmister (Motorhead), Blackie Lawless (Wasp), and Vince Neil (Motley Crue).

10- Politically and spiritually, I align myself with traditional Christian / conservative values… with the exception of abortion, gay rights, and a few other issues.

11- I love my country, but I hate the people that are running it and fucking it up.

12- mer is an awesome dude, and this one is for him… keeping it in multiples of 3 :)

5. I have a for real "happy place" on my farm. It is on a ridge overlooking the creek and about 1/2 way up the big trees that start on the edge of the creek. Its like having a tree house with ferns and Douglas fir trunks filtering morning sun. I can watch the ducks and eagles fly along the creek and be above them but still under the canopy. There is a fire pit so I can have a campfire and morning coffee. It was sad to leave that place.
6. I work as an engineer so I have no real people skills. Only went to college for 1 1/2 years. Funny where you can get to when you can do a job but dont have the "paperwork to go with it.
7. I get confused when people ask me if I am left or right handed. USUALLY... tactile things I do left handed. Anything requiring strenth I am right handed. Maybe its just cause no one ever found used baseball mits for lefties when I was a kid. Right eye dominant. Found that out shooting bows.
8. I am not religious. But I do believe all living things have a soul, that souls don't need gender, or race or even species. Souls all come from the same place and are made of the same thing. Peace out man. Imagine, thanks John.
9. I am not a hippie. My hair is way too short. Some of it is MIA. I always wanted a mohawk as a kid. Back when I still had my youthfull idealism. Has anyone seen that by the way? I wanna be a hippie, then I saw Easy Rider. Yep the world really does hate what free men represent.
10. I have cultivated the ability to not worry about things I cannot change. The hard part is sometimes others see that as me just not giving a fuck.
11. Cookies, ah cookies. This is for the guys. If you like cookies and milk ,ya gotta listen up. Been married 25 years and this has helped. When a lady brings you some cookies n milk dont eat all the cookies, drink all the milk, burp roll over and go to sleep. I know this seems odd, so here is the secret no one will tell you but me. Make sure she gets her cookies too and she will be more likely to wanna have more cookies later. :bouncy:
12. I have logged with draft horses. I even learned how to shoe them. The new Island highway cleared a ton of small wood that flooded the market, that was the end of that. I love the smell of warm horses and harness on a frosty.
morning.
13. Bakers dozen, good luck eh, but just for me. I have been blowing glass for about a year now. No farm in Aus so needed something to do. Dont watch TV find it just bums me out. Should call it the "bad news". Took a few lessons at a for real studio doing proper furnace work. Way cool. Torch lets me rip it up at three in the mornin without heading to town. I have never actually sat with someone working glass on a torch unless you count the bead working lesson I took for one afternoon. I love glass. Youtube has been awsome and I am very thankfull there is an online community like this to grow with.
Cheers!
They really do say "No Worries" here as part of normal conversation.....

1. I've had a full beard since I was 16
2. I just recently realized that I wear plaid/flannel shirts pretty much every day even in the summer
3. My first tattoo was a cow, I got it on my calf. It took me about a year to realize that I have a tattoo of a calf on my calf.
4. I got sucked into a tornado while riding a golfcart and was thrown around 70 feet.
5. During #4 I fractured my L5 and haven't been able to bend backwards because of it for over 2 years.
6. I have a tendency to completely lose my shit when the weather is anywhere between grey/cloudy-heavy downpours and rain.
7. A little over a year ago I was getting shit faced at the bar, a person I had just barely met told me to quit my job so I could drink with him daily and be his apprentice. So I quit my job. Sadly the studio went under after I busted my ass getting it up and running. I really can't complain though because it planted the seed and I got alot of good knowledge from it without even realizing it at the time. I borrowed $1200 and set up my own studio 6 months later.
8. I got sponsored by a local skateshop when I was 15. Then I discovered girls.
9. I hate the people who work for Hortica a workmans comp company based in Illinoise more than anything in the world. They are the scum of the earth.
10. It might sound cliche but glass kinda saved my life. It was the first and still is one of only a few things that have given me any fulfilment in my life for a while now. To check the kiln to see what it has for me is the reason I get out of bed in the morning.

1.One time in 3rd grade, when they made all the kids empty their pockets before going into the bathroom so they couldnt write graffiti on the fresh paint, I took a paper towel and mashed it up in the sink and put an invisible tag on the side of the stall but it was cheap blue paint and it bled through. When they called an assembly and had 1st through 8th grade on lockdown in the auditorium for hours, I couldn't even look over at my friend cuz he knew it was me and they were watching us to see who was guilty.
2. I was only allowed to listen to classical music when I was little, but when it was bedtime I could hear the Puerto Riqueños jammin' sick beats on their boombox in the alley all night.
3. I think representational democracy and capitalism are mutually exclusive of each other.
4. Someday i would like to meet a girl that inspires me to make beautiful music before we break up.
5. I got my tattoos to cover the burn marks from a freshly pushed downstem wielded by my psycho teacher. The scars disappeared, but I still got my ink!
6. I miss hiking Bishop's Peak and Hazard Canyon and getting a mexican hot chocolate at Linnea's, and drum circles on the boardwalk at sunset, and playing chess at the black pearl.
7. I think Herman Melville and James Fenimore Cooper have the best run-on sentences, but Faulkner has a wider scope on the human condition.
8. Glassblowing is the only thing in my life that has chosen me.
9. My best friend and I ate 4 tabs each one time and then met another friend who said he would give us a ten-strip each if we took them right then...
10. If i could do anything different I would not have wasted so much time working bullshit jobs for ungrateful assholes. I would use that time to master my creativity and make them fit in with me instead. Wait, that's exactly what I'm doing right now!
11. I once found 5k in a campground bathroom and returned it to the dreddy that lost it. I have to admit that if I hadn't known it was his before I found it, I might not have given it back...
12. It's about lovin yer mum, it's about lovin yer dad, it's about lovin yer mum lovin yer dad...the bits and pieces, the melted crayons, the loving friends...

These things are always fun. as much to write about myself as to read about other people.



1) I was born in Po-dunk Maine, (if you go straight north from my home town, you don't hit civilization until Moscow), and I spent the formative years of my life hitchhiking around North America with a backpack and a dog.

2) ...between a strange mix of metal concerts and rainbow gatherings.

3) I learned the basics of blowing glass in the late 90's at a series of rainbow gatherings from a guy named Captain Chaos, who traveled with his family on a refitted school bus and sold glass at shows.

4) I have a serious problem with authority, and recognize very little of it, although I see more and more of it every day

5) in all my years and all my experiences, I have never experienced anything remotely supernatural, and have come to believe that religion is a cancer on humanity. I can't even take religious people seriously anymore. (the rise of Scientology... nuff said)

6) I firmly believe that all politicians, especially anyone with a (D) or an (R) next to their names, are only out to help themselves and further their own agendas and that of their parties. (on the national level I think I could count the exceptions on one hand). they are not here to help you. they don't care about you. the most dangerous words in the English language are "I'm from the government and I'm here to help."

7) I have lived the life of adventure that most people die regretting never having seen, and have survived things that some people would die just watching.

8) Some day I'm going to write a book about my life, and no one is going to believe it. I'm going to follow it up with a book about the fact that humanity has beaten natural selection, and all the people who don't understand it, are going to prove my point.

9) I have enough stockpiled food, water, and arms to not worry about things like Hurricane Katrina, and I semi-secretly wish for the zombie apocalypse. I am quite proficient in the use of combat arms, I carry a gun, and I am trained in two different martial arts (and am still currently training in Krav Maga), but I just want to blow glass and smoke dope. "Don't start nothin', won't be nothin'."

10) I just filed my DBA paperwork with the Texas Secretary of State. once that goes through I can file for an LLC. once I get good enough at prodo pipes to pay the bills I'm going to quit my job, move to Deep Ellum (downtown Dallas arts and music spot), rent a res-com loft, and blow glass full time. Win or lose, I am all in at this point. My name is Louis Cipher, and I own 7th Circle FlameWorks (as of last Wednesday). - that last part just feels good to say.



Bonus) I never meant to fade away.

1) My Online persona is MUCH more vulgar than i am IRL.
2) Was a sideshow act for a while, and I'm hemophobic.
3) Full time Divorced Single Dad to a beautiful 4 yr old girl.
3.5) I married Satan
4) I can play any stringed instrument with a fair bit of skill.
5) I watch cartoons still (95% of TV I watch are adult cartoons (Vulgar cartoons such as superjail!, not tentacle monster adult cartoons.))
6) I have almost no game and superficial standards (Talking to hot girls is nerve-racking)
7) I've got the most old fashioned set of morals ever (Don't lie, cheat or steal)
8) I have an insatiable hunger for safety supplies, but get tipsy from ONE BEER
9) When i was thirteen i tattooed "mad"(insane) on my right ankle. Have hated it since and have NO other tatts or piercings.
10) I crunch numbers faster in my head than on paper\with calc.

This is the first time i looked over the forums. I initially thought i would introduce myself in Rollcall but what the hell I ll be a month late in this forum.

1.Just recently found out I m a fondler. Yes its a word it means to fondle. If you dont know what that means (i thought it was a fake word too) here is a website.http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=fondle

2.Just recently was told by Aymie that any made up word can be real as long as someone understands it....been making up words since.

3. Just recently found out that just a household pair of scissors does wonders to your wardrobe.Especially when the temp outside has been over 100 degrees for over 70 days straight.

4. Just recently found out I am already tired of writing Just Recently in front of these 10 things about me.

5. I never like the way my ass looks in jeans.

6. Erykah Badu naked in Dallas taping "window seat" made my day a while back.

7.I always like the way my boobs look in or out of coverage.

8.My left big toe is still a virgin.

1. There is no one I love more than my mother...I love my family and friends, but I am nothing without my mother.
2. ex gamer nerd, RPGs in particular; favorites are Xenogears, the Shin Megami Tensei series, and the more classic Final Fantasy games. For the Horde. All life begins and ends with Nu. Spoony Bards galore. There ain't no gettin' offa this train we're on.
3. Physically, I'm female, but my gender changes often and bounces all over the place.
4. I'm a hardcore introvert and I get ridiculously anxious or excited around people I don't know or meet for the first time. I'd rather spend my time with [and can relate better to] plants, animals, and the elements than I would with people...
5. I dislike driving on the freeways of southern California, especially Orange County; I always feel like I'm about to die lol
6. I love animation/cartoons.
7. I believe in love and the numbers 3, 4, 7, and 12.
8. I have a strong oral fixation.
9. Shamanic practices have led me to the glass blowing, and it's been one hell of a ride so far. Whew.
10. I think in colors and sound primarily, and I'm really intense...it makes communicating in person especially difficult, since I don't have the luxury of composing my thoughts before making them available to be heard like I get to before posting in a forum. And because I'm super excitable and become self-conscious, I feel like my first impressions are kind of pitiful lol

Eh, what the hell, I'll throw my hat in this ring.

1. I absolutely hate the state of arkansas and mississippi.(Will have been here for 2 years in april)

2. I got arrested going through arkansas with 7 lbs of the cali sticky, and spent too much money bribing my way out.

3. I'm 100 times more vulgar in this state than I am in north carolina(my home) or on here.(I had to drastically reduce my vocabulary so the locals could understand what I was saying, I ended up replacing them with vulgarity)

4. I now say mother fucker a lot... Like samuel jackson wishes he could say mother fucker as often as I say mother fucker.

5. I absolutely refuse to see a psychiatrist for some of my problems, because I'm afraid he'll try to convince my family to have me committed when he find out the rest of my problems.

6. I was expelled from my middle school in 6th grade for a "death threat to the principal" as they called it.

8. No matter how many people are around me, I always feel completely and utterly alone.

9. I look around at the world and the things people set as a social standard and wonder what the hell is wrong with everybody.

10. I feel so different from everybody I have ever known, that sometimes I wonder if I'm really from this planet.

11. I'm not proud to be american, only because of what our government has and is doing to everybody in the world. The only reason I have not moved out of this country, is because anywhere I'd like to live are either just as bad or even worse.

12. The only people I socialize with in this entire state are the people I work with, and only because I have to.

13. I have little hope for the future of humanity.

14. I'm 20 and can count the number of girlfriends I've had on one had, but have had too many friends with benefits to ever count.

15. I hate the christmas season, it always depresses me even worse than I normally am.

16. I havn't felt truly happy since my best friend died 4 years ago.

17. I was shot in the head when I was younger, a hunter across the lake was duck hunting and shot at eye level, a bb hit me in the head, I have horrible memory because of it. Like the only holidays I can remember the date of are christmas and new years.

18. I broke my nose when I wrecked a car into a telephone pole when I was 8 years old.

19. I never actually read the entire bible until I was 15. I became an atheist afterwards.

20. I chose to make 20 because I never follow the standard :D

21. And last but not least, I bet you didn't notice there was no number 7, did you?

Since there are two of us that frequent the forum, I will specify that this is Pam typing.




I used to build air planes for the Reno Air Races. Loved not knowing if I was going to be working on fabric, wood, metal or composite for the day. We got to fly what we finished :fighter:
I miss the days my car stereo was a massage studio on wheels.The bass would bounce a pack of smokes off the hood.
I am an adopted grandma with 3 kids and 8 grandchildren. What a learning curve and a delight! I love them all and the man that made them.
My dog is so spoiled I might as well go sleep on his bed and just give him mine.
Crushes me to disappoint others.
Sarcasm is my forte, however it does not always work in print.
I won't consider myself a glass worker again until I can break back into the shop after a two year down time. Open Open Open. Torches and glory holes, unite!
I collect and work rocks. Collecting seems to have overtaken the working.
I get so attached to my cars it is like selling a kid.
My C.B. handle was The Guardian.



What a great thread. Love the posts, getting to see a little of the person behind the keys is cool.

6. I'm a Girl Scout leader and took my 14 and 15 year old girls to Ghana, Africa for 17 days last summer.
7. I have an 18 pound Flemish Giant house rabbit that rules the kitchen.
8. I don't eat mammals but my favorite foods are shrimp, artichokes and stone crab.
9. I'm usually up for adventure but teaching my teenage daughter how to drive is the most frightening thing I've ever tried to do.

10 things, huh, gee where to start...

1) Born in Cali, a military brat, never lived in one place for more than 3 years - Germany, Okinawa and five other states including Oregon, Georgia, Alabama, Idaho and Alaska where I lived for 17 years.

2) Mom is japanese, my Dad is german/irish/english, so I often get mistaken for latino, lol.

3) So shy in high school that I didn't have a girl friend until my senior year and even then never got past 2nd base :?o

4) Made up for lost time after high school, became a disco DJ and a dance instructor and developed a 3 year addiction to cocaine.

5) At the bottom of my addiction, while waiting for a deal to go down, I shot myself with a 9 mm (accidentally cuz I was sooo high ;?) which put me in the hospital but saved my life cuz it got me out of that life.

6) Lived in Costa Rica for a year, met some incredible people/teachers at the University for Peace which led to another life-changing experience.

7) Joined the Peace Corps and lived/worked for 3 years in Honduras at the National Agricultural School (Catacama, Olancho) where, believe it or not, I taught Africanized Bee Management. Yes, I know, neither did I at the time - I wanted to build schools in the jungle for crying out loud, but that was the gig I landed, proving again that life is indeed stranger than fiction ;?D

8) Married a beautiful Honduran woman, and together we created the most beautiful girl in the world, my precious daughter Rhiannon. She gives my life meaning, and if I never accomplish another thing in life, I will still be happy.

9) Started and lost several businesses, including a home remodeling biz that I loved more than anything (just hit the market at the wrong time and got caught in the economic downturn).

10) Just came through a year-long depression because I've been trapped in a soul-killing factory job for the past 4 years. BUT, in December I (re)discovered glass blowing, quit taking the meds and found out that I'm going to be alright because I realize that this discovery is just the beginning of another life-changing event in the journey of my life. Now I know there's a path out of the wilderness...
Yay!!

P.S. 11) Somewhere between 9) and 10) I got divorced, sooo I'm now single ;?D

P.P.S. Sheesh, didn't mean to write my life story, lol, and also I am glad to be here :bouncy:

2. Elephants poop several wheel barrows worth a day.
3. Elephants are really smart, and messed with me because I was the new guy. When I went to shovel their poop, the one would pick up the wheel barrow and throw it over there. And then when I went to get that it would pick up the shovel and throw it in a different direction. Then the rake. It wouldn't touch them when they were in my hands though, so I had to manage all three utensils at the same time, just to shovel elephant poop. It was tricky.
4. Camels poop in large piles of small rabbit pellets. It's impossible to get them all. It blends with the mud though, so you can't tell you're walking in it at least.
5. I didn't only shovel poop. I also took customers on circular camel rides by guiding the camel.
6. Camels are really stupid. If you hold your arm where their neck meets the body, they won't be able to see what's there, and they'll think they can't move forward any more.
7. Camels are hard to guide. When they feel like stopping, they're gonna stop.
8. They didn't let me work with the llama, said it was too moody. They poop like camels.
9. When I worked for a place called The Dye Spot, which made hand dyed(by yours truly) medieval clothes, I heard the line "so you dye(die) for a living" about a thousand times a day by amateur comedians passing by.
10. When I worked there, I spent a week off site camping amongst a very strange group of people one time. This was smack in the middle of the Arizona desert, and it was hot. There were three groups of people living out there, in kind of a miniature, self accumulated, community.

There was the Vietnam vet, who lived in a small fifth wheel surrounded by what seemed to me to be junk, meticulously gathered and organized into little stacks and piles all around his camper. He said this great organization of junk was booby trapped, and to only ever come or go from his camper in the path he guided me on. He was larger than me, and had a brown trucker mustache and brown hair. Dressed a bit like a lumberjack. All in all he was my favorite. Quiet, and not threatened by much and therefore, nonthreatening, though I had the feeling he could snap me like a twig if he felt like it, you know, like he had that knowledge.

One morning, he poked my chest to wake me up, and I woke up startled, grabbed his hand, twisted it and reflexively said, "I'll f^@&ing kill you". I quickly realized it was him, and as soon as I could focus my eyes I could see he was smiling at me. In my defense of my actions, I thought it was a scorpion or a tarantula, and it freaked me out, and I just wanted to grab it and throw it off me as quickly as possible. Don't want you guys to think I wake up like freaking Wolverine, or that I'm a highly trained killing machine with flashbacks and night terrors, who escaped 22 years, 7 months, 13 days, 0 hours, and 45 minutes ago, from his masters who trained him to be this way through torture and forced combat to the death training starting when he was three, and has been living on the fringes of society ever since, off the grid, using alias's, and am attracted to glassblowing because it's an untraceable job, or anything like that.

I have no idea how he went about obtaining resources for survival out there. I don't remember him even having transportation.

Then a few hundred yards from him was a couple of small fifth wheels occupied by two smaller guys who worked as freelance tree trimmers. They'd go to neighboring towns in their truck, and just ask people and businesses if they needed their trees trimmed. They charged for this service, and it provided free firewood for them, though palm tree logs built up around their trailers. Palm tree logs don't burn well apparently. They were chill enough, though I spent little time around them. Both rather lean, dark haired, and clean shaven petite fellows.

Then there was the family. 3 generations of desert dwellers. A grandpa and a grandma, their son and his girlfriend, and a kid no older than two. They blatantly told me that they steal to get the necessary resources for survival. They had kind of a compound of multiple tents and camper shells and small fifth wheels with tarps set up conjoining things here and there. They also had a little 2 door tan hatchback thing. They were by far my least favorite, as they were all around scummy, and loud, and dumb, and just generally unpleasant, but ultimately harmless.

Together these three places kind of formed a little triangle community filled with dark and leathery skinned from having been baking in the sun for so long, people. They'd managed to obtain an entire park bench, don't ask me how, and once a week they all got together and played monopoly. The regularly scheduled game of the week I witnessed got canceled mid game due to a wind storm picking up all the sudden. Freaking strangest group of people I've ever met. I hung out with them for about a week, playing my acoustic guitar and djembe, smoking cigarettes and whatnot, drinking, a fire every night, mostly just quietly observing and doing song requests because they didn't exactly get a lot of entertainment out that way.

One night, while staying amongst these people, I heard this kind of thumping sound. It was really dark, but the moon provided enough light for me to not walk into a cactus or anything, so I followed the sound. When I came up over the hill, there was this huge circle of cars in a low flat valley between the mountains and hills, and a big fire pit right in the middle, with hippies dancing around it to blaring music, one of which kept throwing hand fulls of copper laced sawdust in the fire to make it green. I walked up on them and partied until the sun came up. That was one of the stranger weeks of my life.

10 things about myself, besides my glass love...

1. I was raised by my mama and she taught me to be my own self no matter what other people might think, but don't judge others even though others judge me.

2. My names Justin and as long as I can remember pink has always been my favourite color, although at the end of my kindergarten year I claimed black to be my favourite because I was constantly bullied about my love for pink. This was long before pink was cool for guys. Also black is my least favourite color, honestly I don’t even think it should be called a color, more like the absence of color.

3.I have always been fascinated with tribal peoples, particularly ones that practice extreme body modification. I have wanted to modify my body as long as I can remember, and started secretly performing mods on my self at 13 as my parents were strongly opposed. My first mod was a branding on my left ankle and was immediately noticed by my step dad at witch time he smashed a plate and proceeded to scold me. All further mods were were discreetly placed until I was an adult. Mods as a minor include the ankle brand, 3 tattoos placed where my boxers would cover, A branding of the letter A on my left pointer finger for my first girlfriend. Two cuttings an om on my left thigh and another exs name on my right thigh, One flesh removed heart above my xs name, PAUL branded below my right hip after my best friend got sent away. piercings included a 00g prince albert, horizontal nipples, a lower navel I scalpeled to a 2g while in the shower, 00g septum. All self done by 15 years old. Several more tattoos, brands, piercings as an adult but not nearly as many as I thought I would have by now.
4. At 16 I shot 3 small bunnies and 1 adult, after I gave them a burial and contemplated their life and my actions. That day I became vegan.
5. I have always played with fire and was sent to a class for pyro children where they showed videos of kids blowing them selves up. I was more discreet after that.
6. I ran away from home when I was 16 because I was ready to start my life. Eventually I contacted mom and said if she would consent I would tell her where I was or was going. Visited over half of all the states by 17.
7. Besides working for my self I have never worked for anyone longer than 2 months. Can't do it.
8. Lived and travelled in a van with a lover for 2 years. At that time I was generating the most income I ever have, sometimes 5,000 a week. I have no idea where the money went, but it was a good time... Mostly.
9.I believe in your god, and if your atheist I bet you believe in my god.
10. I love you, guaranteed!

That's the first 10 things that came to mind.

One more.

I have been a member here for over 10 years, browse the threads constantly, almost never post, but I love it here and all the amazing people who make this possible.

I really like this concept, so I'll add my 10 things.

1. I had love once (for 17 years), now I don't, so Loveless was born (I'll get my one back, or die alone trying).
2. I've been completely abstinent for over a year now (it's not as hard as one would think).
3. I've been playing bass guitar and saxophone badly for years.
4. Due to meds (I didn't need) I know what true insanity is like (17 years of it due to a long misdiagnosis).
5. I was a professional tattoo artist for 16 years (I don't count the years of being under aged and poking my friends in the garage).
6. I was homeless in a bad neighborhood recently (The whole time I didn't carry even a knife).
7. I'm very hard headed, I had to learn all my lessons the hard way, but at least I learned the lessons.
8. I love downhill long boarding (My best speed was 52mph on a canyon road (I wonder what the cars thought when I flew by when they could only legally do 30mph)).
9. I've broken myself (including spinal, I have a lot of titanium in me) in the name of fun. It was fun until I broke myself.
10. I've become (in my opinion) a modern day philosopher, so I'll leave you with two bits of advice I love to tell (especially to youngsters if they'll listen):
-(this one I reiterated) Live each day as if it's your last, but, pay your bills, and use a condom just in case it isn't.
-(This is one born of my mind, and I'm very proud of it) I have lived in dark places, both in this world and within my own mind. Make no mistake, monsters do exist. It's best to stay out of the dark.
Well, that's it. I hope I chose good ones that show me (at lest as well as 10 things can). Life has been hard, but I don't let my pain destroy me, I've used it to better myself, and keep pushing forward. Everyday I'm thankful I wake up, and am at least here to try.

It's been tough, and I'm slightly supersized I'm still alive. Between my lust for thrills, and just life going crazy, I've almost died so many times (mainly this past year). But, getting back into flame working is a good balance for me. One I needed. lol.
