Off topic; on the record.

Hello Everyone,

Germany is just as exciting as ever: I squeaked by in convincing the hochschule that I did not need the from scratch beginner German class, gave away my language inadequacies saying nothing more than my name, had a run-in with the immigration office, and turned to find Lord Voldemort driving the car next to mine at a stop light. Basically life as usual. So I wanted to take a little different direction with my rantings today to give a shout out to someone who may or may not be my big brother (and may or may not actually know that I'm doing this). "This person" has this newfound love of leather. Ok that may have sounded strange, but (for once) my words are not enough. So, since a picture is supposedly (but for today let's pronounce that "supposably" because either you already say it that way or you need to face the fact that, at some point in your life, you too have made the slip) worth a thousand, I thought I would just illustrate with a few of my personal fave-sies.

(These pictures were all oh-so-sneakily kifed from his facebook) 

So yes, he carved these and, although he's way more into practical application than I showed (a bike lock holder, knife cover, ruler holder, etc.), they def don't go wanting in aesthetic appeal. 

Genius?

I'm not sayin'; I'm just sayin'.
