shame,but yes it's better to start this slowly and smartly

Looking forward to the event and eventual results!

Certainly a striking quote.
The first is the truest issue,to me. I have plenty of motivation, but 
knowledge... 
And it's not a matter of learning ,it's that I haven't got a mind suited to

I can do it,but with much difficulty. And I'm an artist who is a bit more 
technical then most. (in my experience)
