New tattoos

Some Ethan originals..


Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin / Vader have a little breakdown toward the end of Episode 3..



Wicket...


R2D2..


The Red Baron Hot Wheels car was a present from Eth when he was about 4... He came and watched me get it tattooed too... So that lower leg will be eventually a half-sleeve of kid stuff... I might build another one with his Mum Iridescent_ReD one day and put his / her tattoos on the same leg... I figure it's a bit more original than the old 'kid's name/s written up the inner forearm in Old English' tattoo that all the other Dads get...



And some more dead people...

I got my wife and step-son added to my Planet Terror / zombie tattoo recently.... She's a zombie bride and he's a little ring bearer.. They both love it and so do I





( I love the upside down celtic cross on that gravestone there)

Other new zombie dudes....

So I sent an email to my family and friends and coworkers offering to dye my hair blue for the Leukaemia Foundation if they donated up to $200... If they donated more tan $200 I would get a mohawk as well....

They passed $200 in one hour and I eventually cracked $1000... So I got the mohawk



To donate... http://tinyurl.com/liams-mohawk

Meanwhile... on the subject of mohawks...

So I'm raising some money for the Leukaemia Foundation with a "Blue Velvet" mohawk....

Info here...

and profile page here...

Even if you just want to throw in 5 bucks.... every bit counts!

I've cracked my original goal of $200... that was done in an hour of announcing it to friends and family and co-workers... now I am hoping to double that!

On the subject of shaving... I give you some classic Scorsese...



And my favourite song (complete with fucking rad video clip) for the day....

I am awake too early for a Saturday thanks to leg cramps = suck
I took my pretty wife on a date last night = win!
we saw Arj Barker and ate at Banana Leaf = win!
that dude is fucking funny as
it's Saturday but I have to go to work at my 2nd job = suck
my second job is JB Hi Fi so it's a lot more fun than my 9 - 5 = win (kind of)
the cheap, tight-wad public are going to make this final Saturday before Xmas a huge pain in the arse = suck
I have a 98% healed tattoo of Cherry Darling up my inner arm, inside where I have Dr Dakota Block = WIN!
I have 5 hrs booked with Rush in March which fill out that forearm with a zombie or two and some grey / green filler = WIN!
I'm somewhat addicted to a soapie called Weeds = strange
I finished Call of Duty MW2 the other night and I'm replaying it for my kid to watch. The quality of video games today along with my bad parenting = WIN
Fuck it. He'll either end up a serial killer or a big time game developer. Either way he'll be famous right?

Creeping Death for breakfast = big fucking WIN

my last journal got zero comments. that's the first time i think that's happened to me i think. sure it was just a link to some silly travel photos but shit... i guess i am totally uncool in sg world now days :/

meh.

week 1 of our trip - Seoul, Vienna, Budapest - http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=151643&id=548312791&l=c2942eca3f

week 2 of our trip - Paris - http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=151650&id=548312791&l=dc09927377

excuse the crappy camera quality.. Iridescent_ReD has a 7MP Pentax compact point'n'click and I have an 8MP mobile phone... neither are exactly 'high-end' cameras

but hey they captured the fun times and the romantic times and the touristy times just fine

enjoy

So I start a new job today. I've won an APS6 job with the same Federal Department I've been working with for the last 3 1/2 years and it starts today. I can't say I'm particularly thrilled about it though :/

Biggest reason I don't want to go to work is I just had 3 weeks off work, of which 2 1/2 were spent travelling in Europe. And it was fucking ACE. Iridescent_ReD and I fly to Vienna, Austria (via Seoul, Korea) with my mum and mum's b/f. We then caught a train to Budapest, Hungary, where we stayed for one week. I spent 4 of those days at the dentist (the business side of the trip) but still got to do some sight-seeing and junk in between.

Years of drug-abuse and crap living had resulted in my teeth being really quite fucked. Now that I don't live like that any more and I have a family and am a parent and stuff I would like to not look like an ex-junkie any more. And now I don't

After the dentist work was done, Iridescent_ReD and I left mum & her b/f in Budapest and we flew over to Paris, France for a week.

That city fucking rocks! As corny as it sounds, we treated it a bit like a 2nd honeymoon. There we were, in the sexy city of Paris, with no kid, no work, no crap. Just a bunch of awesome old buildings, great wines & chesses, an amazing patisserie every time you turn a corner, each other and a funky little apartment in the 11th.

Damn we had some fun..... We ate and drank heaps, but with walking ~20km/day and plenty of lovin, we got heaps of excercise. I have never been in such a 'wow this is the best holiday ever' kind of vibe that I was in there in Paris. I need to start applying for jobs there I think. I could support the 3 of us over there if I landed an EL1 level job. I'd love to show the kid some of the stuff we saw.

Meanwhile... a reality check... the kid wants breakfast... I need to make some sandwiches for school & work and I'd better go wake up my sleeping beauty and get her a coffee....

C'est la vie

I had my Planet Terror sleeve started yesterday... I'll be getting Dakota finished and coloured in 10 days and then adding Cherry Darling, along with some zombies later in the year...
Dakota so far...

yesterday:


today:




Now for some pad thai and coopers sparkling with my pretty little wife Iridescent_ReD

Life is good

Hey can anyone explain Member Review to me? I figure it's where the 'not quite good enough' sets go to let the users decide if they should be bought or not... or something..? But what is the decider? and do they get bought for the same $$ that normal 'good enough' sets are bought for?

Thanks
