New in central Arkansas

[Ogredad5]

Hello all,

My names Brian most folks call me ogre.

been a student of the blacksmithing art for a little over 2 years as life and bills allowed.

my wife and I along with our (5) boys moved from Oregon last august/ sept.

due to the craziness of life forging had to take a back burner. 

Finally things got slow enough to get smithy and forging back to top of to do list.

im looking forward to connecting with local crew and learning from those who are farther on this journey. 
 

Thanks and god bless

Monster in My Head Words and music by Michael Longcor, 1994 Copyright 2000 by High Flight Arts & Letters But there's a monster in my head. There's a monster in my head. There's a monster in my head, And he thinks it's lots of fun 'Cause there's a monster in my head. There's a monster in my head. There's a monster in my head, And he don't see nothing wrong. If I'm quiet as a spirit It won't know that I'm here with it If it knows I'm here it makes me go away I don't like the things we're seeing I don't like the thing we're being I can't stop us and I know I'll have to pay. Not the monster in my head.) There's a monster in my head. There's a monster in my head, And it wants to go and play. But there's a monster in my head. There's a monster in my head. I've got a monster in my head. And it's having all the fun. There's a monster in my head There's a monster in my head We've all got monsters in our heads. And the monsters, they keep havin' all the fun. (They keep changing   time spans on my prognosisi; big meeting tomorrow to discuss stuff..)
