Well, it's become clear to me that I've had a lack of inspiration over the past while. I mean, it's been well over a month since I've uploaded anything, and during that span I've only built one mediocre vignette.

Lately, forces beyond my control have been attacking me at every corner, but those I can deal with (I.E. the slowdown of the 457th [at least lego-related], and some assorted personal dealies). It's the things within my control that are destroying me. Bad grades in school and some revelations that I've been screwing myself over majorly are crushing.

What's the biggest bit of pain is the fact that the girl I think I very well may love is with another guy, and it just started, despite my window of opportunity to tell her how I felt about her.

Lego's become no longer my primary interest, as I try to "drown out my sorrows" by taking up guitar. The largest portion of my limited free time is taken up by that; the rest is spending time with friends, leaving lego as an afterthought. I'm not really drowning out my sorrows with guitar, it's just my new hobby.

I guess what I'm saying is that I'm not leaving, maybe asking for advice, but definately forewarning a lack of activity until I can overcome these obstacles.

If there's anyone you want to add to this, go ahead, I won't though.

Accessing… REPUBLIC PRISONER DATABASE

Prisoner # 0213301
Name: Scot Overbesh
Crime: Treason, Murder of Republic troops, Aspiring to overthrow Republic-mandated control
Database Entry # 3304041: This is the last official data entry of Major Rocc… he gave this to me just before he died. With my trial over, I’ve decided it is time I wrote this down for history… I will share the first part of what he gave me. Immediately before my execution, however, I will share more.

“The commander was dead. Dead as a durasteel can. There was no getting past that. Obviously we had been painted as traitors. I saw a small probe droid that had followed us. Troops would come after us soon. We had no choice but to run. We ran for a long time, in a direction away from where the Republic camp was. We came across a Bakuran village. One of the houses there was bombed out. We were approached by several ragged, weapon toting-villagers. They told us to get out. I then started up a holo-feed of me killing the commander and the moments preceding. That was all I needed to get my point across. However, even if I did need more, I wouldn’t get it. Far, in the distance, was a small squad of heavily laden Republic troops. A commando squad, here to eliminate me and Nightmare company of course- and anyone in between.

‘They’re here for me. Get out while you still can.’
‘This is our war too. It’s time to fight. We know what we got into when you came along. We’re ready to fight.’

We spread out. The unarmed civilians were ushered into the destroyed house. The resistance fighters and Nightmare Company hid. Then, one made a bad move. He was shot in the stomach and collapsed against a column. That was unfortunately enough for the resistance fighters. Blasts broke out. But that wasn’t enough. Droids came pouring in from the other side of the city.

Then I heard a scream- no, three screams. A flash of light; Phantom was blasted out of the bell tower. Apollo was shot in the chest. The commanding officer shot Spectre in the head. It was then that I realized that I had nothing to fight for… yet.”

Le Skyrim figure.

This isn't necessarily accurate to the facial appearance of my skyrim dude, but the armor is remarkably similiar. It's for the Lego Skyrim Group Dovahkiin Challenge. It's 100% Purist.

Banded Iron Shield: Check
Blades Sword: Check
Banded Steel Armor: Check
Steel Helmet: Check

You can look it up if you don't believe me, but this ended up rather accurate. :D

Also, quite soon (I.E. today, tomorrow, or Monday) I'll be posting something big. So stay tuned.
