So life has been interesting recently... Found some time to work on my miniatures and I have to say that I am really enjoying the conversion work. I can't wait for the 500 pts to be finished so I can start painting and working on the next 500 pts. Hopefully I'll have a full 500 pt picture in the near future.

Beyond that work is at risk, seems that "underhanded" tactics of leaving a company as a group even if its a smart move still scares me. The real crest of the wave will be coming at the end of the year. Christmas is gonna be interesting this year.

Lastly I aikido has been put on hold due to an injury. Pilonidal cyst is bullshit. Can't do backrolls or anything involving that kind of motion until after the surgery and after that heals. Put me out of aikido for several months since the surgery won't happen till october. *sigh*

This year has been passing so quickly, I just kinda wish I had more people to talk to, losing a friend to drama really hurt. I still don't understand what I was supposed to do... or why it happened, just wish it didn't.

Hopefully I will be finding sometime to continue more art related activity. My sensei for aikido will be possibly showing me how to carve and work on creating practice weapons for the class. Going to start on a simple dagger bokken. Beyond that I have sought knowledge from a friend in the art department at USF on how to begin my advancement into more are related work, Where do I begin? where do I go? what should I do? Questions I need answered if I ever hope to go down that route. Lastly I am starting to clean a miniature created by soda pop miniatures for a close friend of mine who loves Bast, the Egyptian god. A stylized miniature I thought others might enjoy seeing art of it:
