Hey! Happy New year everyone! I haven't been on as much as I'd like to be... long story with my computer but I should have one by next Friday or the guy from Geek Squad will have it fixed for me... Woo Hoo!
Now that it's the new year... i'm extremely grateful for a lot of things... The most kick ass friends that have been with me through thick and thin... even when I thought "the rollercoaster rides a lonely one..." they stuck by me through the years and I appreciate it greatly.
I'm grateful for the exquisite pain of tattoo's. The time spent on my ink gives me time to refelct on my sucesses and my failures... what I can do better and what needs to be done. I know most people don't meditate when getting prodded by needles but it truely does help me to focus on things... away from the pain of the ink pulsing through my flesh. LOL! I can't wait for my next 4 hour piece next month. It will be even better than the first. I'll post pics of the last 2 that I got it when my computer is back up. It was well worth the 4 hours and $650 (not including tip) that I spent on it. I can honestly say that my tattoo guy is the best in the world and he is one of the very few people that I'd be lost without. He's a great master in conversation and he always knows how to make me laugh through the pain. He's one hell of a guy. Now that I have him... i've uped my limits of tattoos. I'm aiming on getting at least 4 a year now, LOL!
I'm grateful for all the bad situations that I've gotten myself into in the last year. It's help mold me into a better person and gave me great strengths that I didn't even know that I had in me. I'm always surprised when I can pull myself up after a fall. You never know what's in you until you are challenged fully.
I'm grateful for my bad additude at times. I have it for a reason and when something feels wrong, then it's wrong. I'm going to start trusting it more often and try not to second guess myself. If people want to put one over on me, they're going to have a fight on their hands.
I'm grateful that I have a sense of perception... that may go along with what I said above but I still had to mention it.
I'm thankful for people that accept me for who I am and what I look like. Right now, i'm typing this at the library and the guy across from me is staring at me. "Who is this chick with red hair, snake bites and tattooed to high hell??" It's me and I'm very unappologetic about it. Maybe I'll say something to him on my way out. I haven't thought that far in advanced yet =) I like being who I am and if you don't like it, then fuck you. The world is full of individuals that don't fit the norm but are the sweetest people you've ever met. If you don't like it, then it's your lost.
I'm thankful that I am always able to change my goals without getting too frazzled by the changes. A couple of years ago, I would have been happy with settling with a guy that I couldn't understand or even liked me. It's just one of those "too scared to walk away" type things. Now, I'd be happy with a guy that's covered with tattoos and thinks the world of me. Ohh... covered with tattoos... that sounds like heaven. That would make me extremely happy, LOL! Is it obtainable, I doubt it but it was a nice thought.
I'm thankful that I adopted my cat, Charlie. Not only was he going to be euthanized, he wasn't very friendly. Now, he's the best rock n' roll cat ever... I'd be lost without him waking me up in the morning when I don't want to get out of bed. He's the sweetest thing ever and I'm glad I have him... most of the time. Plus, he keeps away from the tattoos when they are healing (normally, he head butts me in the arm but I think that there's something in the tattoo goo that he doesn't like... thank God!). i'd miss him if he wasn't around.
Well, that's my list for now...
Hopefully I will be on full time next Friday. Wish me luck!
Luvies,
Karen
