Watched your Eskrima/JKD video's, When I was in my early 40's I trained with John Hawskley and Pat O'malley out in Leeds.

For some reason that is not happening this time.<br /><br />As for the kind words about your blog - they are all richly deserved. riot villehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02352546766599695684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9139829046693947478.post-2371488334201313742016-03-08T11:58:21.962-08:002016-03-08T11:58:21.962-08:00Thanks.

Beautiful stuff all around!<br /><br />I feel ya on the Hobby ADHD front, I find that if I have too many projects going at once or too many unpainted models it starts to get overwhelming and my productivity drops off. These days I really endeavour to only have two or maybe three projects going at once with just a unit or two built and on deck at a time (with the rest in boxes and out of sight/out of mind), and use finishing a given unit/model as an incentive to reward myself with some build time (the part of the hobby that I most enjoy). Having a pile of unpainted-but-assembled models looming is a big demotivator for me personally and I get the whole "Oh lord I'll NEVER finish all of that" blues. <br /><br />On the other side of the coin, I do try to have a couple different projects going at once so if I get totally sick of painting one color scheme or type of model I can switch gears and work on something different for a bit - helps keep up the enthusiasm level when interest in a given project begins to flag.<br /><br />Keep up the great work, my man, and thanks for the shout out - I appreciate the kind words!Mordian7thhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04631987711681654113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9139829046693947478.post-43587664290854516662016-03-07T12:09:00.409-08:002016-03-07T12:09:00.409-08:00I think I may have the same problem, but what a gr...I think I may have the same problem, but what a great post and a treat to see all your different projects in one place.
