Weeeelp,on to much more pleasant things..
Work is the same ole same ole.
But I'm pumped for a shirt I just ordered and hanging out with some of the peeps at wizard world, and just causing some general mischief.
I'll post a much more interactive blog with music and stuff when I get off the iPad later...

Time for a bit of a rant-
Moving on, that led me to look up my old myspace page and low and behold it survives...and now a photo dump of my times at sea:
Drunk and being a jackass with my boss at the time.
And that was some of my awesome adventure working for a cruise ship company for two years...
Now time to jam out to some Three plus
Well hello peoples and all that noise.. Here is that proper update of sorts. The last month has been a bit hectic, but fun nonetheless, culminating in this past weekend-from Thursday night onward..
Thursday I had my lodge officer's meeting where we set up diffeent committies and the like, and I was enttrusted to help A) Be a part of an explatory committee on looking for a place to rent for a ball and all that jazz and B) a part of the group to help set up the festivites for our lodges 100 eaear celebration which happens may of 2014. (Interesting nugget of info- My masonic lodge's old building is what is now the Hawthorne Theater. We sold it n he late 90's-early 2000's and moved to our current location.)
Friday was a fun time as I started my day by venturing downtown and having a pork belly Cuban sandwich from a sandwich shop out here. I looove me some pork belly.I then went and got tattooed on teh sleeve and it is now complete, beside a ouch-up and smooth out session on the 8th of march.
Behold I bring pictures...excuse the crappiness cell phone camera and all that jazz...
Following that I stopped my friendly local piercing studio where I had to pick the next size up plugs for my ears, so I'm now at a 7/16" which I was able to dead stretch to. After that it was off for some awesome Schwarma..yum yum yum.
Saturday morning-afternoon I was back at lodge for a big meeting with the Grand(State) Officers of Oregon Freemasonry. It was a good time.. From there I ran home and had enough time to hang up my suit jacket, have a glass of iced tea and I was off again, this time to meet up have an awesome night with some of the awesome peoples of SGPDX and some of the lovely ladies from up in Seattle, at the Kennedy School. The only dark side to the event was the dickhead of a server, but eh, we didn't let him ruin the awesome mood and vibes we had. Big shout outs to Selene,Cpkz, Blargzilla,Cadavre,Dali,Fringe_,Hemi_,Subatomik, I think that's everyone...if not I apologize.
Sunday, I slept and went to work...
I live a life that seems to be getting way busier or this just me noticing... eh.
That's all for now I thinks... So yeah, I should be to pdate a bit more than I have been, hopefully.

After tonight and how it went down, I've really decided that I need to cut all ties with my family altogether and tell them to just fuck off and leave me alone.
Seriously. FML
Seriously. FML
Tis the season and all that jazz. Meh.
Growing up in one of the very few, if not only Jewish families in my neighborhood, I learned to take this season worth a grain of salt. When all the other kids were showing off their toys that could somewhat maim, I became the negative nancy of the group. with lines along "Your new bike is cool, well until someone steals it from your shed or at school", "OOOh, you've got something else that can break a window, or hit the cross-eed mutt that lives down the street in the head with. I see a few police reports in your future."
Now some may see this as jealously, but I beg to differ- I already was labeled a scrooge by a teacher's assistant in kindergarten when her little shit of a son refused to share the paste and called me stupid. My response was to say "Oh yeah there is no Santa Claus!" which caused him to cry for a half hour, thus allowing me to use the paste so I could finish my snowflake (which makes me wonder why they had kids who were growing up in Florida-except for the one girl who split her time between florida and Norway- make snowflakes, something that us kids would never see in real life.)
Thus my attitude developed to when I was 18 + and found drinking in a bar(open bar parties for the staff and bar flys are awesome btw) with a santa hat on led to many a night of drunken holiday sex. So I worked that for a while, but quickly grew tired of it.
Nowadays, I model myself as a poor man's scrooge. This holiday just annoys the shit out of me, and can't wait for it to be done, and everyone can assume their normal, boring lives once again. Because if I have to hear one more of those bell ringers, I may just snap......

Now time to change gears from the last blog post...yay?
It's gotten a bit better in the home area, but I'm still more "meh" about it all. For the most part I've just been working and sleeping. Although hopefully, I'll be getting something that does resemble more of a life.
Last night, I had the opportunity to go out and join some people from the SGPDX group, for drinks and grub. And I must say, that I at least had a great time, with great beer, food and people. And yeah for you portlandians, definitely check out the press club, off 26th and Clinton. Good food, coffee, and beer there, and the environment is pretty relaxed and mellow.
Other than that next week I go back for the last main session of coloring on my sleeve, then we start tinting it, so if luck is with me we may be able to pull it out of our asses, but if not, it'll wait till after the first of the year. I'm not stressing. Hanukkah starts on Saturday, and I'm excited about that. My inner pyro is screaming "FIRE, SQUEEEEEEEEE!" While my inner fat kid is pumped for potato pancakes. So good times...
That's all I got for now, until later. Peace.

I reiterate fuck you, life. Why do you gotta be such a dick.
Well my thanksgiving weekend, from the Wednesday before to today has sucked- The Highlights:
1) On wednesday, one of the freemasons in my masonic lodge was killed in a car accident. I got to spend wednesday evening through Frday helping to contact people with either our lodge, or oranizations he was involved with throught the lodge ie. the little league sponsership he had helped to set up and cultivate. Fun times
2) Family spent Thursday insulting me and degrading me on just about everything they could. Sad thng was they were sober. I mean it went from my culinary skills, to my intelligence, to even knocking and ridiculing my tattoos. It finally got to the point that after I was done smoking one of the turkeys we had, I went to my room, and listened to metal until the next day. I then got told that I ruined thanksgiving for everyone. I mean these are the same people I'm giving up over half m paycheck to ensure they are able to keep a roof over their heads and food in their fucking bellies and they pull this shit.
Which brings to me to my decision- Fuck them next year, I'll be traveling. I think either Vegas or NYC next year. I just want be somewhere at least a thousand miles from them.
So yeah, Now I'm just trying to get into the right rationale to be able to go to my friend's funeral without breaking down completely like a little bitch tomorrow. Fun times for sure. *sigh*

Gaaaaaah, fuck you life, can't a brother get some relation time?
Hows it and whats it my peoples? Life has been increasingly and frustatingly busy for me between work, my masonic lodge duties,and tattoo sessions, Exhausted really doesn't cover it.
Well I got the inside of my arm colored and probably one more session in the chair, and my sleeve in progress will finally become my completed sleeve. And then it'll be time to start on my right arm yay.
As for turkey day, I'm excited to see my older who is flying in tomorrow to spend the weekend with us, so that's awesome, as for everything else is pretty much eh. I can't complain, and even if I did, it wouldn't do any good..
But to the rest of ya'll if I don't talk befor turkey day, have an awesome one, and try not to get trampled in any black friday sales.

Sorry would have updated sooner, but unfortunately work and other activities have kept me particularly busy...
Weeeelll, work is going good, somewhat. Still hate the actual work, but it pays the bills and me off the streets. Working a buttload of overtime, so I've been out of it. But I will be, involuntarily free alot more in the near future- Hooray for plant shutdown days. I get 9 days off between september and december, along with the normal holidays. They would be unpaid, unless I either use vacation or a variant of unemployment. I'm going with the former, as I would have to take a hit of an unpaid day (can't afford to do it, yay) so I'm going to use my vacation , seeing as I got two weeks to go through and it leaves me a free day in case a snow storm blows through and keeps me from work.
In other news got my Kraken started on the inside of my arm. I'll go back to start coloring the rest of my sleeve (including the kraken) on the ninth. It was a bit painful, as she started in the ditch of my elbow moved to the inside of my arm. So I'm pumped for that.
My other extracurricular activites are pretty much tied to my masonic lodge right now- Just trying to get everything to take a new position in the lodge, as well as trying to decide if I want to join an appendant body of the masonic lodges. I wanted earlier this month, but didn't have the funds available at the time.
That's pretty much all in the busy life of me- what's going on with all you peoples in SG land?
