Shocking announcement............I hate my job!... 
Okay so you already knew that.
I drank too much on Friday and Saturday.
That was the most painful tattoo I have endured. So looking forward to finishing it.
I could fall asleep at my desk right now.
QUIZZAMAJIZZ!!!!!!

Beautiful new ink ya got going there!!!! Congrats 
I too think that I'm about ready for some more. Just don't know what exactly - probably something to mark the changes happening in my life these days.
So how are things with you otherwise?

If things go as planned I should be getting my sleeve worked on this afternoon. I finally found another artist and ironically he knows where my old artist is. I am going to let the new guy work on me cause he is close. I am still going to the old artist to have the color done on the 2 he did not finish.

Glad to hear your found your MIA artist. Good luck with that. I'd love to do something on ya when you're in Tempe again. You're right you can never have too much

I was going to put "Joanna"... but I thought Jesus was funnier. I was also curious as to what he would do... and got some amusing responses.
Anyway, sounds like the gig was a success! Congrats on your first (?) set. I am very intrigued with The Sins and am going to endeavour to look for some of their music.
Got the fun job... and accepted it. You only live once, right? i can supplement my income with my second casual job as a graphic designer for an automotive aftermarket company.
Where I am at this moment.... procrastinating...

It's late but that kicked some serious ass. g'nite
(next morning) holy shit am I am tired. The difference between cover bands and original (beside the obvious), is I drink more with the original because I have so much more time. Another difference is I used to get warmed up about the second set.........

Yes, yes ... you MUST play in L.A. I mean not only do we want to see you play, but Nolefdetnaw WANTS to buy me more double shots. It's really not a problem because he is the most careful driver ever and since he would never let ME drive anyway ... might as well get smashed!

Oops, sorry about that. I'm still getting the hang of this 'journal' thing 
Hrmm...as far as art I like doing. Lately I've been heading in a more dark direction. Lots of skulls and evil-ish faces. I'm working on a couple big pieces right now. Once is a half sleeve of a samurai head with a really cool facemask, with a bansai tree in the background. That's all color. The other is distorted face with the eyelids sewn shut with a 3rd eye on the forhead, but it's a reptile eye. I'll post some pics of them once I start them. Right now I'm just in the design phase of it. I came from a busy street shop back east to an almost completely custom shop with award winning artists. So there is some pressure for me here. Hehe. Things are going well though. I actually worked my first convention a month ago in Mesa and took 2nd place in the 'Skull and Bones" category for a piece i did at the show. It was a good weekend.

Quickie update.
I feel good about my first live show with The Sins tomorrow.
A little nervous but not bad. Practices sound good so.....
Wife is sicker than a dog. Completely lost her voice, So I can pull off all the sneaky crap I want and she can't yell at me.
TGIF......

Good luck with the show tomorrow--or as they say in the biz, break a leg (does anyone say that anymore?).
Maybe if there were pics of pierced nips, it wouldn't be boring.
I need a bored/boring smiley. Or a sleepy smiley. Either one.

Thank you. Good luck tonight (again)!!
So to erase my shitty mood I stop by my favourite Seattle dive before band practice and proceed to knock down a couple Jagrs, couple beers, Half a pack of smokes. All better.

nah, i'm around, it's that whole working full time and then some single mom and doing some direct sales on the side. Life gets so busy I'll forget to stop and smell the flowers. Or just touch down for some good ole fashion human interaction.

Awww, you sound like an awesome dad. Your son won't hate you--he just won't want to talk to you for a few years, unless its to borrow money. :p
Good luck with the show!

Wow, I am truly not well today. I woke up on the wrong side of the bed x 2 . It is probably a good thing that I don't work with the public....it would not be pretty.....

This is so weird not having gigs to play. It is a nice break. The Sins and I are working on a set list getting ready for our first show. The other guys are also still working on their tracks for the new project. We don't know what we are going to do with the 4 songs. CD? Web? Maybe save them for a full...

I can definitely see how that's true about houses--I think it'd be nice to have something to call your own and do whatever you want with.
And thank you and your wife for the resume help. I really appreciate it

LOL @ your wanting to live in a condo
AMEN - preach ON, brother!! After the shit we went through with the house we sold in March, I'm perfectly fine with going back to renting for at LEAST a year.
Things are pretty good here - i'm taking care of business and all that and roling along just fine.
How was your weekend?

Is it just me or has TV really gone to gross out mode. I mean every show I watch has someones guts open for viewing. Now I may look like just some run of the mill washed up musician but I have a cultured side as well. Isnt it better storytelling if you imply stuff instead of having to show it. Alfred Hitchcock did it...

Yup, I have a completed resume. I updated it yesterday and tweaked it for the counselor job. It still feels kinda boring to me. Now I just have to find out if they are accepting resumes yet.
MTV isn't even about music anymore. Hell, MTV 2 doesn't even play music half the time. I like Viva La Bam as much as the next girl, but it seems to take up half of their air time.

Do you happen to remember MTV when it first started? That was back in the days when there were only like 60 stations on cable, but MTV was awesome! The best videos were those that were done on a shoestring budget and actually used imagination. I am confused though ... they don't play music any more, so then they made MTV2 for the music, only that music SUCKS! The trained sheep in my house -- you know, the ones that call my music RETRO -- watch those reality shows like they are instructional videos. And don't get me started about Jackass or the likes.
Well, I guess it is just a case of survival of the fitest. The kids watch Jackass and unintentionally commit suicide, something like pouring chlorine in the gene pool. I'm sure I told you that my son drove his van off a cliff once (on purpose -- and I blame Jackass), but I think I neglected to tell the story about stalker school (I blame Crank Yankers).
After saying all of that ... I feel like I need to slap another co-worker. Has it been an hour yet?

Poker tournament first place twice in a row. I am on a roll. Yes, Gambling is one of the vices I have. In fact I have done all four of the majors in my profile tonight. If this is coherant I will be surprised when (if?) I wake up. Damn it's late.....

It is starting to cloud over and rain... but at this point nothing can ruin my evening. Good friends, good music... who could ask for more?
Damn I still have to go and get those fishnets.... what am I doing on here? Important things to do!

No... but the line up is. You know, the one you stand in for several hours before the show? Ya that one. 
I'm driven by society's standards of beauty. I try and take things that are beautiful, and filter them in some way, that most people find repulsive... but I try to get them to still see the beauty in it. I don't believe that beauty comes from the outside, so I express that. Even in my drawings!
