“A journey without direction, a journey without end.”

This is the third incarnation of ‘Recalcitrant Daze’; it was first birthed on Warseer, before later moving to the Ammobunker. After living on forums for a number of years I thought it was time it had a life of its own, to strike out and stand on its own two feet.

As the sub title above suggests, this creature known as Recalcitrant Daze has no real plan, it goes where it desires and dabbles as it wills. There will never be a great scheme to which it adheres or a map for it to follow; it will simply jump from one thing to another on an endless search for something it doesn’t know it is looking for.

I have been doing this hobby for what seems an entire life. Since Heroquest and White Dwarf issue 124 hooked me into the genre I have been trapped in its gravity, occasionally trying to break out but never quite making it.

My time is mainly spent with building things. Occasionally I paint, but not often, this is a hobby so why spend time doing something I don’t enjoy? I have more projects and more ideas than is sane and no where near enough time or space for them all to come to fruition. While it is nice to truly finish a project I’m not so fussed that is bothers me if I don’t, if the journey takes me onto a new path then I am happy to walk down it.

So here I am, witnessing a new birth of Recalcitrant Daze. Less painful and bloody than giving birth to a child for certain but I may still come to resent the amount of time and money it takes up when it never shows a glimmer of gratitude or thanks.

The journey continues.
