A swashbuckler's life for me
I finally, FINALLY found me a Fencing club in Albany! Things are looking up at long last. Supposedly they hold non-tournament meets so that's going to appeal to me greatly. I've no interest in competing for trophies or club honor. Maybe after awhile I'll get around to filling out the application sent to me from NYJedi for opening an Albany chapter.
I'm in it for me when it comes it down it. Back in St. John's I imagined myself to be Basil Rathbone's Guy of Gisbourne from Robin Hood, Douglas Fairbanks, Sr., Oliver Reed, Christopher Lee and Michael York from various 3 Musketeer movies. Hack, slash, partty, mocking but yet jovial laugh. Adventure for me boy! I used to be quite good in using the saber (sabre? I forget) but a bad temper, a penchant for being overzealous and holding grudges against the more arrogant students. Needless to say, I dealt those who bullied younger students in a way befitting of my being.
Heh.
Oh and see this? This personality test proves it.

As of late I've been watching vids like the following:
When I was younger I played a little guitar but I stopped when my parents became overbearing in their "support." I get like that sometimes when someone is TOO supportive and is too... Too... Well you know. Just TOO supportive. It's like trying to live thru someone else.
I love the way this guitar sounds. This is what would be played on long trips thru the American Southwest, Mississippi and the like.
I've been toying with the idea of getting back into learning the guitar but with a reasonator guitar specifically. There's something about the twangy sound with its melancholy that just speaks me, draws me, tucks me in at night with my favorite binky.
Something to consider I guess. Now that it's getting colder, I'm feeling more alive. The smothering blanket that is the heat is slowly being pulled back and my funk is gradually lifting. I have been looking for additional hobby. I'll look into this.
