Totems

Okay, so I recently checked out Madison House in Totem Lake, and let me tell you, it was quite the experience. I’ve been helping my grandma look for a senior living place, and this one came up on our radar. We decided to go take a look, just to see what it was all about. First off, we drove there, and finding the place was easy peasy. It’s right in Kirkland, not far from the freeway, so that’s a plus. The building itself is pretty big, and it looked well-maintained…

Okay, so the other day I was feeling kind of stuck, you know? Like I needed some kind of sign, some kind of push in the right direction. So, I decided to really dive deep and connect with my spirit animal, and for some reason, I was really drawn to the lioness. I started by doing some reading online. Stuff about what lionesses symbolize, what they represent in different cultures, all that jazz. I found out that they’re often seen as symbols of strength, courage, power, and protection. Exactly what…

Hey everyone, so I’ve been messing around with this LED totem thing for a while now, and I thought I’d share my experience with you all. It’s been quite a ride, let me tell you! It all started when I saw these cool LED displays at a trade fair. I was like, “Man, I gotta get me one of those!” They’re basically these stand-alone LED screens that you can put pretty much anywhere, indoors or outdoors. I figured it would be a neat way to display some dynamic stuff and…

Alright, let’s talk about this “Last Epoch” thing. I’ve been messing around with different character builds, and I stumbled upon something called a “totem build.” Sounds kinda cool, right? So, I decided to give it a shot. First off, I picked the Shaman mastery. Why? Well, word on the street is that it’s a good fit for this totem playstyle. Plus, it lets you transform into this Spriggan Form, which is basically a walking, talking plant creature. It looked kinda funky, so I figured, “Why not?” Now, the main idea…

Okay, so, I’ve been messing around with this Thorn Totem build in Last Epoch, and let me tell you, it’s been a wild ride. I started this journey totally blind, not knowing what to expect, you know? I just wanted to try something new, something off the beaten path. So I dove headfirst into this Shaman thing and went straight for the totems. First off, I picked the Shaman mastery because, well, it sounded cool, and it seemed to fit the whole totem vibe I was going for. Then I…

Alright, so I’ve always been fascinated by those towering, intricately carved wooden structures – totem poles. And I just had to see the “largest totem pole in the world.” I mean, how could I not? It sounded like such a cool, unique thing to witness. So, I started doing some digging to figure out where this bad boy was located. Turns out, finding a definitive answer to that wasn’t as easy as I thought. I mean, I found a couple of contenders, which made the whole thing even more intriguing….

Alright, let me tell you about this project I’ve been working on. It’s a totem pole, but not just any totem pole – a killer whale totem pole. Sounds pretty cool, right? I’ve always been fascinated by these majestic creatures and the rich symbolism they carry in Native American cultures, so I thought, why not try my hand at creating something that pays homage to that? So, I started by doing a bit of digging. Turns out, killer whales, or orcas as they’re also known, are a big deal in…

I saw a documentary about killer whales a while back, and I was totally blown away by how intelligent and social these creatures are. So, I got this idea to make a killer whale totem. I thought it would be a cool way to honor these animals and maybe even tap into some of their symbolic meanings. First, I started by sketching out some designs. I looked at tons of pictures of killer whales and read about their cultural significance in different Native American tribes. They’re often seen as symbols…

Hey everyone, it’s your boy back again with another story from the trenches. Today, I messed around with something called a “Jukebox Totem.” Sounds kinda fancy, right? Well, let me tell you, it was an interesting ride. So, first off, I grabbed this Jukebox Totem thing. It’s apparently some card used in a game. Not really my usual scene, but hey, gotta try new stuff. This thing had some numbers on it: 2/0/3. I figured the 2 was some kind of cost, like you need 2 somethings to use it….

Okay, so I had this idea to make a jellyfish totem, and I just had to bring it to life. You know, something that would remind me of love, balance, and just going with the flow. I’m not really an artist or anything, but I figured, why not give it a shot? First off, I gathered all the stuff I thought I’d need. I hit up a local craft store and grabbed some clay, a bunch of those sculpting tools that look way too professional for me, and some acrylic…
