look, another one

another post within a month, amazing huh!!

just want to look back on 2007. let's see.... there are so many things that did happen, however i really only care to share with a few. the first one that seeemed to take my time up is that i finally grew a pair of brass cajones and started shaving with a straight razor. one of those manly things i always wanted to do, but did not know where to start. i borrowed a straight, strop, brush and soap from father in law. this straight is from the 60's. i later acquired another from the early 1900's. this is my current str8. i am very happy with it. check out straight razor place, or the shave den. 2 very good sites for reference, resources, or just curiosity.

i have been trying to learn to play the guitar for some time now. finally this year i did learn. while i am not great, i have a better understanding of playing a few chords. my father sang country, but more importantly, he sang to his kids. that is what i wanted to do. well, that i can now do. 26 years, my dad would have taught me at the drop of a hat. i never asked. dumbass.

Christmas was the last straw. over Christmas, i picked up a rubiks at the in-laws. amazing what you tube can teach you.over the next 3 days, i learned to solve my 1st scrambled cube. took me about 10 min. now i have it down to about 3 min. i am not trying to set any records, however, i would like to get faster.

anyway, hopefully i will get either some pics or vids up soon.

happy new year.
