Your coke is getting warm :(

did some butchering, it was kind of fun being my first plant, hopefully its not going to die

Thanks Bonsai Nut that is exactly what I needed to hear! I was trying to rush it too much, I was a little overeager, being excited isn't a bad thing though is it? :p We'll see if I can keep this guy alive for a few years. Al, you don't have to be care bear nice for me to learn some things...

@Brian Van Fleet 1) All I've done to it is brush off the dry, dead needles. 2) I don't have any experience working on trees, but I have read a few beginner books and read a lot of the articles on bonsai4me (there was a long one about pines). 3) I liked the width and gentle lean of the trunk...

I'm an absolute beginner trying to find some stuff to learn on so I got this scots pine from home depot on sale for like 10 bucks. So I guess I have a few questions: 1) Did I pick out an okay tree? 2) There's so much going on here I don't know where to start styling wise, any pointers...
