Wow, time sure flies away! Let me tell you what happened between last entry and this entry...

►We traveled to San Antonio to welcome the New Year. We had to stay in a hotel to reach Downtown fast. We went (once again) to the riverwalk, then we went to a carnival on the streets; let me tell you: I've never seen more stands selling turkey legs in my entire life. My first night of the year was horrible: My dad and my uncle had a snoring competition and I had to sleep on the floor. The day after we went to the outlets @ San Marcos for some new clothes. then we came back home.

►Uncles and grandparents came and went to/from our house. We had the inflatable matress up and ready for the next hosts.

►Got a new stash of wooden swords right here! got some wood from all around my neighborhood and started working!

1. Thick Bokken: With some black and duct tape, my trusty carpenter's brush, razor and saw, cardboard, and a [real] big wooden plank, I made this Bokken so my bro and I start training Kendo.I had a casualty: My saw's blade.

2. Thin Bokken: Same materials, but a broomstick instead of a plank. It still works

3. Binary Sword: Ah, my ol' reliable longsword I made for Madness Day '13. It's very worn off from all the time and use, but this old dog still packs a punch.

4. Dagger: I tried to make this one military-issued, but looked too weird when I finished carving it. I still like it

5. Shortsword: I like to strap this one around my wrist and pretend I'm a gladiator. Even my bro plays with me sometimes

6. Gladius: this is the more accurate sword I ever did, thanks to my bro's help. It's hefty and sharp. Perfect.

7. Scimitar: I made the point hooked as a disarming method: the enemy's sword gets caught in the hook, I twist the scimitar and done!

Man. I just love my hobby! give me your oppinion on my work

Thanks for listening to my crap. 8madness. Out.

See them here!

I. FUCKING. MADE IT.

I manage to survive all this time without NG and now I'm Back for more!

It happens that all the parent rage has passed, and I managed to recover those failed assignments and now I'm free of school.

& ALSO I FINNALY GOT MY BRACES REMOVED AFTER ALL THIS TIME!!!!!!! Man, I'm so goddamn happy I may vomit! I also got some throwing knives and a new hands - free headphones so I don't have to take out my phone while I walk on the street.

You cannot imagine how happy I am, but that's not important, I'm happy to see NG again. Man! so many new things to see...

I'm. Fucking. DOOMED.

I failed two assignments on school, and my parents are gonna be so mad at me, I don't even know how they'll ground me, and besides, I can't even think of something else, which it makes me more distracted, which may make me fail even more assignments! I have diarrhea now just becuse the horrible thoughts that come to my head; no, LITERALLY, I wrote this on the restroom.
BTW, I'm making a wooden Gladius and I'm almost done.

Thanks for listening to my crap. 8madness. Out. (for maybe a month).

Hey guys! I've been making some wooden swords and stuff, and I want you to check it out!
1. Katana: made completely from scratch. A furniture piece, a wood scraper, a razor, duct tape, an old headphones piece and some foam were used in the process. It is sharp!
2. Shoto: The remmants of a wood sword I bought at Chinatown; in fact, that is the scabbard. Used some duct tape, the rope in the original sword, LOTS of black tape.
3. Middle age sword: Used a paint paddle, the same razor, the same wood scraper, the same black tape, and some cardboard. I gave it to a kid as a gift.
4. Scabbard: used a belt, an empty paper roll and clear tape. all my swords fit there
5. Sandstorm Slingshot. This is my treasure. The wood piece, I bought it at Rocky Point; took the latex band from a broken hunting slingshot my cousin gave to me; I carved every single mark with a magnifying glass (I felt like a god once I finished) the japanese characters on the front mean "made with fire" and the characters on the back mean "sand desert"; almost all of the items have the 8 Madness symbol on them, to prove that are mine.

Did you like it? why don't you comment?

Wooden Stuff!!!!

Now, I really delayed this entry for a little while for no reason. This is my last holiday week before going back to school, you may know how it feels.

I went to watch Now You See Me; trust me: The most confusing movie since Inception (that is, if you don't put attention).
Madmanaryf is making me my own Madness dude, I'm going to be so much goddamn happy when he finishes it.
I've been having real weird dreams. Like... never mind, they're too crazy.
I've been Invited to my Ex - Gf Sweet 15 party. I don't know what to do.

Thanks for listening to my crap. 8madness. Out.
