Muskblog: the sad, pathetic truth

So I saw an old friend of mine, Paul Taylor and he guilted me into doing some painting. I’m still looking for work and trying to lose weight but I’m also doing some painting while I watch TV.
Although I don’t know if I’ll ever get the army finished, I decided to paint the command [...]
