I would want to pick the meteor hammer, even if it gives almost no defense, the offense is overwhelming. Not to mention the beauty in the movements and flow of both the weapon and person

If you could learn and master 1 weapon, what would you pick?

I had a single picture and idea of a wood burning budget sauna and I made a sketch and built the rest with my mind and tools. And here it is.

Sometimes as I wonder about the progress of my personality I reminisce about days outside the 9 to 5. When a child could design. An ugly box on a shelf became a vessel for nerdom. A radioshack when it existed could supply the circuits to create. What age do we abandon by indifference our fire to express.

The Tinkering Tick

Ngezinye izikhathi lapho ngicabanga ngentuthuko yomuntu wami ngikhumbula ngezinsuku ngaphandle kwe-9 kuya ku-5. Lapho ingane ingakha. Ibhokisi elibi eshalofini laba yisitsha sokuba yizigebengu. I-radioshack lapho yayikhona inganikeza izixhumi ukuze kudalwe. Yisiphi isikhathi esishiywa ngokungakhathali umlilo wethu wokuziveza.

As above, so below. As within, so without...

Njengoba phezulu, kunjalo phansi. Njengoba ngaphakathi, kunjalo ngaphandle...

Here's where it gets weird. 

The Tasmanian Tiger, was an apex predator in Australia, and hunted to extinction by the late 1930s. 

I met my late wife through a personal ad that her mother actually answered... told you it gets weird! Her mother made a date with me, and told her to go.
But she read the ad before she came to see me... and changed my world for 16 years. 

As the sun came up that first morning, we were still on this high from meeting each other. Two professionals in the music biz, who had major label releases of our own. We already knew of each other, but didn’t dream this would happen. I mentioned something about my ad and she said "Tasmanian Tigers". 
I had mentioned them in my ad and she didn't know what they were.

So I showed her a flickering old movie from the late 1930s that showed the last surviving one in a zoo in Australia.
And my thought... that I was the last - how she felt as well... 

So I reprised my original ad... hoping to be that lucky again, as I believe in honoring your departed, to have the best life you can. After all, we've had practice! 

Along with my music, I'm also a romantic. The last of the true and afflicted ones. I know I am not of this world. Not here, at least. I am a Tasmanian Tiger. A thylacine, and I've searched the earth for another... and still am only as one. 

I wasn't always like this, though. My life changed as I saw my mate felled by the new predators that invaded our wood. It's been four winters now and I can still remember the day as I returned to our den and the songbirds that lived above us saw me... my slow gate, my fixed stare... as they stopped singing and were uneasy. 

To this day, they stop as I come back with quarry to share with no one. They are simple creatures, but they live on their intuition... and not just their own, but the thousands of their ancestors that came before, thousands think as one... and their songs are their knowledge which is not learned... but certainly real. 

They've asked me, but they already know... and I know this... it's their way of acknowledging my hurt inside. They see me bringing back my quarry to my den... and see my eyes grow damp. They don't know what that is, and neither do I. 

They are struck by my plaintive yowl. I don't know what it is, either... I don't recognize any of what I do now... it's not something I'm even aware of... but the yowl...hoping against hope that it is answered. Knowing it won't be. All of this land is covered with the simple creatures, SO simple, yet complete... and the whole earth is covered with them... so many as their souls could fill the ocean...but would be so shallow as to scarcely wet my foot pads... 

I don't understand the dampness in my eyes and the disquiet in my heart, when I think of the times past. I never yowled. I yipped, chittered... and made quiet puffs of air to signal my mate... and I still do so, in my dreams. 

The birds told my story to the cranes... and when the cranes came back as the days warmed, they told of a world that was no longer for the thylacine... not a den, nor trace. The watering holes showed not a footpad in the mud... no bones... and the rabbits and shrews were bold... as if they had nothing to fear! And numerous... so numerous as to be diseased and festering carcasses exposed all over... so much that the carrion eaters couldn't even finish them.  

So it would appear that I am alone. And my eyes grow damp as I feel this... and the birds above our den ask me if I am sick, as my eyes are ever damp... I tell them I don't know, as I don't. I truly don't know what is wrong with me. Or this world... That soon I will grow older, stooped as the elders I saw as a kit, and slow... and my teeth will dull and fall out... and then I will lay down my last time. But now my teeth are still sharp, I can take more quarry than ten of my peers... which is why I'm still here and disquiet. I know of nothing else!

But why am I here? My coat is still sleek, my mind and body nimble, as the apex of the hunters. The birds above me paired for life, which is also our way. We are connected in that way... and one day I saw his mate fall... and it distressed me. Much as I think they must feel, now... and saw him out on their branch hopping up and down. It was strange behaviour... and his song... so different. As he did that day and even after the light. It was his way. And he didn't sleep in their nest.  He didn't sleep at all, I believe. Until one day, she arrived. His mate to this day. And I know that is what he thinks I must do. But they are simple.

 I asked him one day if he ever missed his first mate. He looked at me quizically. I tried to ask again, as the one that came before, and he said only that he had always been with his current mate. He believes this. That is his way. I envy him. They cannot conceive of this. 

And they still quiet their song as I return. And they still nuzzle as I walk out of sight, seeing my solitude, feeling complete as they are. And I walk my perimeter, And beyond. Farther every day. Making my plaintive yowl, hoping that it will be answered. And sometimes I lie down and dream... and hope that dreams are not all I will ever have. Or that i awaken and find her there again, as if THIS were the dream, as I had many times before she truly did fall... these always confused me as dreams our life before do now. For what good are dreams in a world where no Thylacine live? And what am I to become that a simple bird pities me? If I didn’t have fondness for them I would gulp them down, not to see that look again. 

Well, my day is nigh, and I must lie down in my den,  again. I push myself beyond my ability every day, and sometimes chew the hemlock leaves, so I don't lie down, but fall... to sleep without pointless dreams... lately of the coming spring and running with my mate by the waters. Yipping, chittering, and nuzzling.

Tasmanian Tiger

Nansi lapho kuqala khona okungajwayelekile. 

Ithala laseTasmania, bekungumgibeli ophakeme e-Australia, futhi labulawa ukuze lishabalale ngasekupheleni kweminyaka yama-1930. 

Ngahlangana nomkakhe owayefile ngadvertisement yomuntu siqu eyaphendulwa ngunina... ngikutshele ukuthi kuqala kuba odd! Unina wenza umhlangano nami, wathi akamthumele. 
Kodwa ufunde i-ad ngaphambi kokuthi aze kimi... futhi washintsha umhlaba wami iminyaka engu-16. 

Njengoba ilanga likhanya kulolo suku lokuqala, besisathokozisa ngokuhlangana. Ozakwethu ababili emkhakheni womculo, ababe neziqu ezinkulu ezikhishwe yizinkampani zethu. Sasivele sazi ngempela, kodwa asizange sibe necebo lokuthi lokhu kuzokwenzeka. Ngakhuluma ngento ethile nge-ad yami wathi "Ithala laseTasmania". 
Ngakukhuluma kwi-ad yami futhi yena wayengazi ukuthi ziwuphi.

Ngakho ngammukela ividiyo endala ephithizelayo esuka ngasekupheleni kweminyaka yama-1930 eyakhombisa eyokugcina esaphila e-zoo e-Australia.
Futhi umcabango wami... ukuthi ngiyena osondelayo - ukuthi naye uzizwa kanjalo... 

Ngakho ngaphinda i-ad yami yokuqala... ngithemba ukuthi ngizoba nenhlanhla futhi, njengoba ngikholelwa ekubongeni abashonile, ukuze ube nempilo engcono. Ngaphandle kwalokho, sesinokuzijwayeza! 

Ngaphandle komculo wami, ngiyathanda futhi. Okwakugcina kwangempela nabathintekayo. Ngiyazi ukuthi angikona kwalolu hlanga. Akukhona lapha, okungenani. Ngiyithala laseTasmania. I-thylacine, futhi ngifuna emhlabeni omunye... futhi ngisengumuntu oyedwa. 

Ngangingakaze ngibe kanje, nokho. Impilo yami yashintsha njengoba ngibona umngane wami ebulawa yizilwane ezintsha ezangena emathafeni ethu. Sekuphele izinyanga ezine manje futhi ngisakhumbula usuku lapho ngibuya endlini yethu futhi izinyoni eziphilayo phezulu zangingibona... umgibeli wami ophuthumayo, ukubuka kwami okujolile... njengoba zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi zimi z
