Hey Heath,
While I do immensely enjoy watching your DIY weapons projects, I think it is probably time to call it a day. Obviously if you have read any of these, for many people this is more of a perfunctory act, than one based on some form of reasoning or causality. While I will admit the frequent politico bombast that wafts out of your news feed gets tiresome at times (actually I feel this about a lot of people) the other stuff keeps me tuned it.
I don’t afford many people’s news feed the same treatment. In most cases if someone posts a bunch of political stuff I would rather not be seeing everyday I just hide their newsfeed. But in your case when you post anything else it is usually something I am interested in or will read just for shits. And it isn’t that I don’t agree with YOUR politics in specific, I generally have given up on ALL politics as it seems to me some form of gross quasi-masochistic past time where we all just reel in horror as our nation crumbles. Look, I know its all nightmares and turrists out there…I don’t need to be reminded of it everyday. I check the news frequently (albeit a passing glance) and I know things are kind of messy. What’s new?
In either case I wish you would set up some kind of website for your projects, or atleast a deviant art page or something. There is a huge movement out there for “makers” as they are called these days, but I think a lot of folks think being a maker means just using some new tech to make a do-nothing for their desk and that is just horse shit. Or worse yet, the people out there who remind me of that Jack Handey passage:
“I remember how my great-uncle Jerry would sit on the porch and whittle all day long. Once he whittled me a toy boat out of a larger toy boat I had. It was almost as good as the first one, except now it had bumpy whittle marks all over it. And no paint, because he had whittled off the paint.”
-Jack Handy
Great stuff. Anywho, I hope to see you at the bar as per usual where we can talk about how I should stop being a pussy and by some real shit to play with as opposed to just fantasizing about it.
Today was a great day, but tomorrow our FBfriendship will end,
Curt
