To colorful. yes i agree with making the background color one color(black). Also the colors on the lettering should be more bolder or defined in the color you choose.

I drive and own 2 camaros 94 camaro with t-tops 85 camaro But I have been driving my passed aways mom's car(ford tauras) now and letting my brothers drive my camaros. My dream car probally would be a corvette. but I dont feel like buying one cause Im tired of driving sports cars (police pull me over constantly, One cop even pulled me over just to talk about how nice my camaro was when I was running late for work).

Switching schools is not a bad idea. I switched schools my senior year becuase teachers called me * my classmates called me stupid (they never picked fights with me though because of my martial art training). Well anyways cause where I live you have to go to the school in your district so I made up an address went to another school 30 miles away, graduated at the top of my class. Became a low class supervisor so far at simplot and have had most of my former teachers and classmates work under me being their boss. Most of the teachers at my former high school before I switched schools got fired for harasement charges and so on. And my classmates couldnt find work after college. Well to make a long story short I have excelled becuase of my own personal drive. Best decision in my life lying about where i live so I could change schools.

I dont think there is nothing wrong with bowing. I bow to people at work and the funny thing is people bow back or now bow to each other. The reason I bow is to show respect to the people I work with, and I also dont like shacking hands with people. Thats my opinion. -
After you have sanded it down to bare wood I personally would use a water based stain to stain it. And then a polyurathane finish after the staining process. I think the poly urathane is a good finish cuase It doesnt seem to wear off so easy from use. I also recomend minwax. It has been good to me. Remember the key to sucess is proper preperation with the sanding. Also I use a jig that is a pipe that is full of stain. So I just have to dip the item into it. And I have another pipe that is filled with urathane so I just have to dip the item into it. 1. sand to bare wood till it is as smooth as posible. 2. stain it with water bases stain. 3. let it dry for a day or two. 4. apply the polyurathane finish. let it dry for 4 hours. sand it with 200 grit. 5. apply the polyurathane finish. let it dry for 4 hours. sand it with 400 grit. 6. apply the polyurathane finish. let it dry for 4 hours. then you should be done

Pop Quiz. Whats the difference between a tachi and a katana? Who ever gets this right gets a pat on the back. LOL

No but I always keep them locked up in a safe or on me when they are out. I am afraid of someone talking my weapon out of amusement and accidently hurting someone cause they dont know how to use them properly. But I guess if someone is determined enough they probally could steal them from me.

I never had to worry about finals except in high school, even then if you studied throughout the year the finals are a breeze.

Avoid Stainless steel blades. The molecular structure of stainless makes it more ap to failing. I would suggest this site on sword questions. http://forums.swordforum.com

I have a problem simular to that but different. Where I work people are not supposed to have facial hair so when I work I shave it off and at downtimes I grow it. I dont grom my beard to the point of people being able to get a hold of it though.

I have a Tosa, and a Miniature Pincher. Miniature Pinchers are very aggressive dogs to anyone not in the wolf pack. Very Important to train it early on cause very easy to get spoiled. I also like my Tosa becuase its a very quiet dog that learns quickly.

Alot of patients and attempts to make a weapon the way you want to. With wooden weapons try to pick wood that runs parralel to the length of the weapon to add strength to the stick. If your making a kama try to have the tang to a decent ways into the handle. Make sure you also temper the metal that the blade is made of. If you temper it to hard the metal can shatter when struck against something. Best peace of advice safety first.
