Just a short update today. I had the previous entry up for an age so it's time to change. Yesterday Susan and I went to see the Donnas at our little state fair. They aren't my typical fare but I was pleasantly surprised. Everyone had a good time including the Donnas, and most importantly Susan who's first concert this was. She's now a rabid fan (spent $70 on gear). My only complaint is leveled at the fair staff that came up with the brilliant plan of placing reserved seating right in front of the stage. Naturally this meant that once the band started playing everyone crowded the seats and we had to stand up just to see the band, totally wasting the extra money we spent on those seats.
I'm getting ready for my first tattoo in about a weeks time and I'm feeling quite a jumble of emotions. I've been thinking about this tattoo for years and I'm certain that I've made the right choices as far as studios and artists, but now at the eleventh hour, I have this nagging in the back of my subconscious about making such a permanent change to my body. In the same mental breath, I'll think about how disappointed in myself I'll be if I drop everything because of conformist tendencies. I also wonder if Ill become weary of answering inane questions about my tattoo. It has subtle religious and philosophical significance; nothing so obvious as a Sigil of Baphomet, but one that will confuse some people, and Ive grown out of the stage in my life where I welcome unsolicited debate with strangers. In the end Im sure Ill go though with it, and Im excited about it, but I do wish the confusion would go away.
