Sure everything is coming together, slowly but surely, however there are things I have been able to get done in Canada due to other factors. Mainly, I need to get my Novice drivers license to so I will be able to drive down in the states. I also need to go to the local college I was attending for the last few years when I was trying to get into architecture because I have earned enough credits to graduate with a diploma in Arts and Social Science.
I also joined the American Bladesmithing Society in June to learn from journeyman and master bladesmith as I try to make blades myself in Canada. It is hard to say I am progressing fast since I have limited access to the forges which limits what i can do. I also have yet to make my own set of tools so I don't have to rely on my local blacksmith club tools. I really would like to set up my own forge so I would have a lot of more time to practice forging blades. Another thing is slowing my down is I have yet to polish and temper (harden) one blade, finish the handle and put a butt cap/pommel on it.
Also in June I picked up several model cars and an airbrush so I would have something smaller to practice on before I head down to the states. I really wish I could have these done by now but my air brush house decided to come loose. Apparently when they made it, they did not put any adhesive on the end which screws onto the airbrush. So after using it for a little while it shot off, making a loud pop sound. I am considering of trying to use Teflon tape fix it, the stuff pumpers use to create water tight seals when two threaded attachments are joined together. But if that fails it would be a pain to get out.
I have also been planning ahead a lot from when I get back from Wyotech in the states, which does not hurt, but it is quite far ahead from where I am currently. For the most part it is basically which classic car I would like to find and restore when I get back to Canada, how I am going to manage my finances so I can get a sailboat either in December 2013 or January 2014. Nothing wrong with dreaming eh?
Lately I have been feeling like something is missing. It is like I have almost everything planned out but there is this void which I cannot fill but at the same time do not want to rush into something that I am going to regret, not to mention hurt me. It is almost in a way since what happened in 2011, I have put all my barriers back up so I won't get involved who is not compatible, someone self-centered, and something who does not care.
Yet in a way it probably is for the better, since once I am established (when I get back from Wyo) I should not have to worry as much since I will/possibly/maybe meet something that will understand me, respect me and love me.
But before any of this happens I've gotta take life one-step-at-a-time.
