Not only did my older daughter get me blacksmithing lessons for Christmas… but she had a friend of hers do this awesome picture of me… as a blacksmith… reforging the sword that was broken from The Lord Of The Rings… HA!!!
I mean, how freekin’ cool is that?
And once again, if the blacksmithing gig doesn’t work out, I will be ready for my new career as a creepy serial killer. My older daughter also got me a cool wooden skull… with a clock in its mouth. I love that kid.
But my wife and younger daughter got me a new electric guitar… and that awesome kimono I showed you in that fashion show post I did.
Anywho… that is pretty much it for the photos of our trip to spend Christmas in the Bay Area with my mom and brothers and nieces and nephews and so on.
I will leave you with one last photo… of a sunrise… that I took in our backyard here in San Diego just a few days ago…
Pouring My Art Out 
That’s about the coolest gift I can imagine. With the blacksmithing lessons, you’ll be forging black iron, then?
I imagine so… I haven’t started yet… what other colors can I choose from???
There’s whitesmithing for silver, redsmithing for copper, bladesmithing for swords and knives, goldsmithing for jewelry, and bluesmithing for ice… wait… I just made that one up.
I am learning stuff now…
You get the best gifts. But I’m not going to copy this one!
It would be pretty hard to…
And you have something to aspire to, to grow into , as it were. 🙂
well… I always have that
true, but having a picture of our “future” selves can be particularly inspiring. 🙂
if only because it means we will still be around for a while… ha
With some practice, you’ll be able to forge the Ring from Lord of the Rings as well.
you mean the nine rings… ha
I think there were 21 of them, actually.
not to mention the cheap knockoff copies made in China
Wow, so cool!
I am very lucky
i would tallent!
ok
i believe i have forgotten a word it should read “It would be your talent!”

Well, we don’t like to make sense now…
no we do not
pardon my language, but that artwork of you is pretty bad@ss! 😀
