Hey guys n ladies

I've been doing nothing but get set back, I think that's losing. I'm really just sitting here trying to figure out the next step.

You say that you wish sometimes you were back in the Marines? I was much in your position back in my young twenties. But homeless as well. I ended up re-enlisting. Most blessed-cursed thing I ever did. Do you have that option. If your record is a tad tarnished, it too can be fixed, but that takes time as well.

I hate to say this and I am sure that you are well aware of it, but there is no quick fix for you. Even if you won the lottery tonight on your last dollar, you would still have to wait a minimum of six weeks to see the check.

As I said before. Take your time. Breathe deep. Don't over react. Oh...and use this time in your life as a lesson to be learned and never forget it. I've been down your road and forgot about it when times got better and ended back on this same road again. Don't repeat those mistakes.

I'm amazing with a torch or a plasma. I can machine with lathes n mills as well

Not a lot of money in it from what I see, but scrap metal is usually free and it is just the time put in and gases used for the torch that cost. There is usually a profit though small.

Just a idea. If you can find a sheet of steel, maybe reproduce some graffiti from Banksy but in steel. That would look pretty cool. And he uses templates as well.

You may have to ask his permission though as I don't know if he copyrights his graffiti. (Which would be odd, as he would be copyrighting art while at the same time breaking the law when he sprays it on some unsuspecting wall.   )

If given the chance id like to create life size sculptures of people etc. My style is very dark though. I dint have much to be happy about anyways.

Don't make me go all "Yoda" on ya!   

Yoda, Obi-Won Kenobi, all that Zen stuff. 

I also find solace in music often. Music that has a up-lifting message in times of trouble.
