I fight on a constant basis with getting myself, physically and mentally in line with my previous self. The crap that I am going through pisses me off cuz my brain knows where I was and what I am capable of but reality is I am not like that right now. Back StoryOn September 23rd my vehicle was a mobility kill due to a command wire IED.

Some may think this is not a good idea, but I don't give a fuck.Here is my work space.I got bored one night and wanted to see if I can do a piece that looks scratched in. This one was not a good idea, I did it right before I went to the field. It ended up getting infected and all scratched up. Oh well.I just did these 2
