Welcome to the American Malaise

Hello, you can call me project cowboy, my closest freind calls me cowboy. This site is going to be a blog/journal/project list. Mind you I will probably be buzzed while I work on this site so sorry if it reads poorly. I plan to be pretty transparent about my life and things to an extent, its why I am planning on staying anonymous. I got the idea and inpsperation to do this from a freind of mine. I am hoping this will help me orginize my thoughts and goals, both short term and long term. What I will do though is describe myself so you can get an idea of who I am and what I do. I am 6'0 and fat, but not super fat, I fill in a doorway, I am strong, not because I habitualy work out, but because I have spent mopst of my life in the trades, welding, machining, wood working, trucking. My hands are pretty scared and my finger tips look funny from losing bits of them doing things, its not grotesque but noticable mainly in my nails. I also work on cars. My primary trade is that of a gunsmith but I fear that I may no longer call myself that soon as that life path has been largly a failure. I also work on cars, I know a lot about fixing things, mostly due to lived experances, I am not a fan of cars but I can rebuild an engine, why? Because its a matter of surviving as an adult. You will see on this site that most of what I do is low budget and it is for a good reason. How I dress: I usualy wear cowboy boots or a custom pair of Nick's O.Ts. I did not start wearing these to follow current fasion trends, I am actualy ahead of the game. I have to wear these because I have dump huge square feet that I hate. It is a pain to find a size 15 5E anywhere without ordering them, I find that cowboy boots streach out and dont pinch my toes so I have become somewhat of a collector. I wear mainly jeans and sometimes smart wear, almost all from Duluth trading, I am hard on everything I own due to my lifestyle and I have found DT is usually tripple stitched and strong. I tend to wear flannels even in summer with no under shirt with my chest hair exposed. This is a half choice, I would like to get some better summerware but I can not afford it at the moment. I do tend to wear longer shirts like button downs and flannels for two reasons: 1. It won't rip when I break down on the side of the road and have to crawl under a truck. 2. It helps me conceal firearms. You should know that while I will be talking about firearms a lot I will not be posting many of them for awhile as I can not currently have firearms in my home. While I did say I would be trasparent, I can not be trasperint about this because I have to respect the privcy of the people I live with. You can expect to see a lot of other projects though. I have many things planned. If you have any questions or want to just talk feel free to email me at projectcowboy.neo@gmail.com but please know, if you think I am depressed I don't need anyone to reach out, I have my own people, good ones. I try to do my best to not sound sad but I if you could read an old Pyche Eval you would see "Cowboy is a profoundly sad child" as a header. So trust me its a history and I don't need help. Thank you to the people who emailed already, but please give your energy to people who are not lucky enough to have good people in their lifes.
