Tattoo Time
I went online tonight and found this tattoo artist that I've been dying to get work from for a long time. I emailed him and hope I hear something while I'm at work tomorrow. I'm getting a series of three things as of right now. These three things have had alot of thought put into them and as of tonight I'm sealing that shit mentaly. It's been a while since I've gotten tattooed and I'm going fucking big again. Bigger. On the back of my Calves will be a Gorgon (Medusa) on one and a chimera on the other. I'm also getting another lady tattooed if all goes well. I'm gonna put that either on the front of one of my shins or on my left thigh, havent decided. I'll ask him wear he thinks it would fit the best, I also kinda wanna be able to look at that one, sue me.

Saturday is measure my legs day.
I'm meeting Timothy Hoyer at Absolute to drop of my reference material and have my legs measured for the tattoos. I'm sure he can suggest a portrait artist for the sweet girly pin-up I'm getting.
I made an appointment with the doctor for a look at my knee. I was being a big pussy there for a while, I didnt want em to have to do anything to it but now it hurts to bad. They can peel it like a banana and stick a fucking metal rod in for all I care.
I was out drinking friday at BD's with Lance, Joe, Josh, Aleeyah, and Nikki. While we got busted up I was talking to Lance about getting into ju jitsu and starting up with Sambo again. I had no idea he liked to fight. He told me we should get together and start it up. I'm pretty psyched about that because I dont know many people around here that like the fights. Anyway, me and Josh go back to his house and we are in the hallway bullshiting when Lance rolls in wasted and commences to throwdown. Josh goes down then I get ankle locked. I put a choke on him. Ha.
I watched Zu, Warriors from the Magic Mountain over the weekend. Some pals actually had a copy of it on VHS. I havent seen it anywhere in a long time. It was great. I dont usually like Tsu Harks stuff but it was pretty badass. I was reading ACS and saw that Takeshi Miike has a new movie coming out....spook war. Looks pretty wild. Can't wait. C.H.U.D special edition was ok. About what I expected. Good print though. Gonna watch Lady Vengence tonight. I havent heard anything bad in my circle. I've been really turned off by asia cinema lately. Its all bad cranked out shit. I'm getting sick of searching through miles of shit to find a jewel.

Thanksgiving.
Left work at noon today. Didn't do anything but the basics. I took the time off at work for my january trip. Can't wait. First time in Vegas. I'm not feelin so hot right now. More or less bored. If I didnt have a good job I'd move to Vegas right now, my buddy out there needs a roommate. Its so tempting. Its not that I dislike Richmond, its actually a really nice place to live. Change of pace would be nice.
Ugh, its 10pm and I'm tired already. Thinking about family holiday functions make me tired. I'll get up tomorrow and begin putting on my mask. Thats what it feels like every time I go over there. Family outings for me are difficult. I don't play or watch sports like golf, basketball, or baseball so that throws my brother and dad out of the picture. My mother doesnt know how to have a serious conversation with me without patronizing or getting furious with me. I smoke, they dont. I'm tattooed, they arent. They are republican, I'm not. The list goes on. I love my family dearly, but it is very hard to make myself comfortable around people I share no common interests with. To top it all off when I'm around said people and Ishow any hint of indivdual behavior that deviates from the their plan, its greeted with their own person touch of disdain, family style.
I go through this shit every holiday and every holiday I get through it. If I didn't talk it up in some way shape or form I think I probably would never show up. Like I said I love my family but they make me uncomfortable.
On a good note. I messaged THE Belladonna last night with a few questions I had and she took the time to respond back pretty fast. I actually admire people like her who run their own shit and take the time to answer fans emails and questions. That kind of thing is sexy. I appreciate that kind of thing. That makes me even more of a fan. I'm gonna visit the Evil Angel booth when I get to the show. I've been meaning to get 4 to 6 more of her newer movies but the shops around here suck. Why go to a shop that smells like balls and has cum all over the walls when you can fly to Vegas for a weekend and meet the person whos movies you are buying? Exactly.
