To: me 3:15am

Rest in peace oh wonderful blog of mine. Thank you for listening when no one else would. So much heartbreak. So much triumph. So much... Life. But alas a new day is rapidly approaching. I feel the need to start new. Resurrected. This song is ending but the story never does.

I'll post up my new blog shortly
Thanks for the memories

Something New.... Trying it out

 

I should really blog some more. I figured I'd post up a little something to remind me of where I'm at right now and what's going on in my life.....

Beautiful Girlfriend... Tilt with crew on speed dial... Ipod rocking Evilutiontattoos.com.... $$$... Flatscreen Hooked Up To The Computer.... Firefly.... World Of Warcraft.... Photoshop.... Sketch Pads With My Comic And Evilution "Art" Logo... Pencils, Pens, Sharpner, Electric Eraser.... Biz Cards From A Tattoo Shop I Own..... Damn it feels good to be a ganster.... Thank You For Another Day

Love this!!!!

I should goto bed

 

A little over 3 years old.... I might start up a new weekly/monthly thing... still working on some scripts

Yeah,,,,, I'm a tattoo artist.....

Yeah,,,,, I'm a tattoo artist.....

 

Arrrgh..... so damn much to update. It's ridiculous. We had our 2nd night at Little Darlings last night. Great promotion. Gave away $600 in gift certificates and had a great time all around. I really wanna post up more stuff to get all caught up but theres just so much. Here's a quick run down.... Megan came... it didn't work out. Because of this I got into a pretty big hole that I'm still trying to dig out of. We added two more artist. Brian and now Eric. Pretty cool guys. The building inspector came by a couple days ago to tell us that all the booths that we have never got approved or permitted. This happened before I had moved in so it's on the property management people. I sense trouble ahead. We go a new cat named Echo... but we've been calling her "Lil Bit" since she got here. Dad moved back to Vegas.... Mom moved to Vegas and then back to Palm Desert. I really can't remember when I last updated so I may have covered that before.

Clair and I are doing alright. As I write this she's in our bedroom pissed that I'm not ready for bed yet. We go thru our ups and downs but I think that we make it thru because we really do love each other. She hates Vegas which sucks all around. I mean I'm no real fan, but hell anything is better then digging out my car every morning. I'm very very very lucky that she's hanging in there. She really is the greatest.

Bah.... more later..... think I might actually be able to sleep soon

My Idea Of Heaven

Damn it. I just can't seem to get my blogger on. So much to tak about too. I'm sitting in justins tattoo shop in edwards colorado. Clair and I have come back the valley for a couple days. She had to get her dentist thing done and up date her drivers licence. I'm going to get the mercedez registered in colorado... Vegas just sucks as far a dmv money goes. It's been a great trip... Just wish it wasn't so fast. Maybe we'll stay longer with our next visit. The valley hasn't really changed in the last year.

Pt 2. I'm now in an airplane flying over lake powell... Destination vegas. Dad is going to pick us up and take us to our new 2 bedroom apartment. This month has been a whirl wind. We've added megan and brian to the mix at the tattoo shop. They're sharing a booth which started out ok.. But has had a few bumps as of late. Brian doesn't have a regular clientele that will show up for him and megan has been starving so she keeps booking whatever and whenever she can. As a result they've had some over lapping issues. Randy is doing good but has recently found out that his wife is pregnant again. I 'm starting to see that his time is becoming more split. Not a bad thing.. I just worry about his ability to make money. Things are a little stressed right now too. I had to pay $1100 to become a piercing shop. More money out has made less of a surplus and therefore caused more stress for clair and I. There's another artist who stopped by who has a great portfolio and i'd love to have him. Unfortunately that would mean building another station. More money. It turns me in knots thinking about it.... Even more so then our last drop in altitude.

We're coming home to a new 2 bedroom. We stayed in the same apartments... Just needed a boost up. Now we can actually have house guests and they don't have to go thru our bedroom t goto the bathroom. Oh and there's more room in the kitchen... And the bathrooms have tile instead of carpet. Honestly I jus can't wait to sleep in my own bed and see the cats and piggy. Oh yeah... We have a new little kitty named echo. She was found abandoned in a wood pile in grand junction and clairs mother brought it out to us a few weeks ago.

Everything is just such a ball of stress now. i miss so much that I was once so passionate about. My family and friends have paid the forfeit of my business. I want to do so many things that I just seem to have lost the time for. My relationships have suffered across the board. It seems like if you're not actually sitting in my station at the tattoo I don't have time to talk to you.

Better go... They say I have to turn off my device

Pt 3.... Made it home safe. Dad picked us up and we went and grabbed some pizza. I'm currently sitting in my couchless living room trying to figure out why our computers aren't connecting to the net. The cats and piggy were excited to see us. The little one is attacking everything that seems intresting. Damn it.. Computer is kicking my ass.

 

A Twitter is not a substute for a blog. I gotta write that on the black board 100 times

Talk about yin yang... Up & down. First off... This is karma. The cutest little liger of all time. She came up to do a little show for dads company at I.c.s.e.

The down was that my sponsor manny died on the 19th. I'll blog about all this later. Just wanted to let eeryone know i'm still alive

Sometimes.... Life is just plain awesome. This is karma. Tons of pics and videos coming soon

 

Me ride'n

So this is the shop... I just wanted to post up some video of the interior.

I was just thinking of why my blogs address is nu-skool-nal-edge. My old best friend, jeremy cattoor, had it tagged on one of his 3 ring binders. It somehow made it into my things and I stumbled upon it years later. I thought it was a very cool edge-e statement. God that kid was creative.... And smart as all hell. Funny how little things can change who you are at your roots. Things that you never would have guessed. I wonder how he's doing now. Last I heard he was fighting some demons of the substance variety. Seems like it's a trend with people in my past. I feel for ya all and know that my thoughts and prayers do find ya many times a day. Keep trudge'n that road of happy destiny.... Until we meet again

 

Happy Easter.

I feel like a man in a desert.... And a computer is my water. Oh wait... I am a man in a desert...ha. It's been almost a week since our home computer has taken a shit. I feel so out of the loop. I drpped it off at sin city pc today. With any luck i'll be back to home interweb in the next day or two. As you may notice by the absence of 'o' in some of my dialogue, i'm blogging on my phone again. I thought if I blogged on my phone i'd be able to post more but as it turns out I just have a general lack of time. Tomorrow is my 2nd day off since we opened the new shop and honestly i'm not sure I deserve it. Sure I've been tattooing like a mad bastard... And sure this month has been the best of my financial life... But the shop id still in disarray. The dividers are not facing the right way... I have rope lights and tools that need to be organized. I still need to get a sign put up on the tombstone and a big one on the top of the entrance. I want to get vinal stickers for the mercedes. My bot kris did a great jb of tinting the shit out of it... Now it just needs a little flair. I need to put a top on clairs wall. There are about 7 pics I need to draw... I'm trying to get some big pics put togeather for the wall. Then I need to find a big printer. I have to put in an order for supplies... Pick up some general supplies. Clair and I are going to do some shopping for cloths.... I guess not having a pair of pants without paint or ink on them isn't cool. Oh yeah i'm going to buy a house. We went and looked at a big 5000 ft 5 bedroom 5 bath... 4 car number. Hope we get it. I need to post up pics of the ink i've done not to mention a bunch of shop pics. I have to call my grandfather... Mother... Granny. I've wanted to talk to justin for weeks nows. I miss the shit out of the vail crew. Somewhere in there I want t call paulie to see how his life is going. Oh my ex coralyn calld me out f the blue a cuple days ago so I gotta drop that dime.. Especially since she said something about being with her son.. Guess the rumors I heard abut her being pregnant were true. The guinea pig needs to goto the vet.. It has a nipple that is huge. The cat needs it's next set of shots... She has thrashed the front entry way to our apartment trying to get to this grey cat. It makes me wonder why though... She was fixed months ago. Rents due... Cams due... Credit cards are due... Gas is due... Electric is due.. Internet is due. I have to get the car in for an oil change... I need to look at clairs car. Steering fluid. I need to get my shit out of storage in pahrump and put it either in another storage or at the shop. I have a smoke shop sign I gotta sell.. Either ebay or craigs list or just to another sign shop. I wanna go get a couple dgital converters... I got a couple cupons. Oh shit... Taxes. I have t pay off the bookkeeper we were going to use origionally... She has all my 2008 paperwork.

Wow... Guess I better get on it... I have 24 hours... Then it's back to the ink. I miss and love you all. None of you are ever far from my thoughts and my heart.

Damn it... I lost my stylus... Lol.... I swear....I love life

I sometimes feel like vegas is just a big glittery blob that just keeps growing. It seems like it could just pop at any time.

My home computer went to shit last night. Damn it damn it damn it. If theres no fix for it.... It'll mean I lost the web site pages.. About 25 tattoos that I didn't get posted.... And i'm sure a bunch of shit that I won't miss til I need it. I can almost hear justin yelling at me saying I should make picasa albums. Damn it. I'm doing mobile posting now... Not sure how long til we get a new one for the house... With any luck.... More sooner then later.

Rita, the property manager, stopped by the shop un announced today. I'm waiting for some tenant finish money coming and she came to see if my claims matched up with the work. Fuck'n bullshit. I was working on a client so my brain wasn't really thinking that I was going to have to answer questions from a cranky, junkie looking, eyebrow raising, personality black hole. I'm just sicking dad on her now. There's a little surprise that we have up our sleeve. Can't wait to hear what happens with that. I'd write more but according to my lease i 'm not allowed to reveal the details. Guess I understand that.

I have today off. 1st time all month. Clair isn't letting me come in at all. I'm supposed to lay by the pool and work on my vampire tan. Think i'll call mom and justin.

I'd love to do more blogging. I really would. I'm on my 24th day of work. It's awesome but exhaustive. I'm back to being multiple projects behind and having between 2 to 5 tattoos to do a day.

In other news. Mom and granny came in for the weekend. It was cool having em around. We tought we we going to stay with us, but they ended up staying at one of dads companies houses

Shit! Shit! Shit! My phone is about dead.... I guess i'll try to write more later

 

Holy shit. Life is pretty awesome. Now. It was a pain in the ass sometimes... Fun other times.... And now is pretty cool and almost done....

K... Let me back track. The first thing was the pain in ass property management lady. I thought she was alright at first... Then it just turned into one damn pain after another. We had everyone take a look at the lease. My parents, grandparents, clair folks, her cousin the lawyer, our broker. It turned into a cluster fuckage of hurry up and wait. First it was the the lease.... And the multiple copies that I had to sign. Some of the emails didn't have all the pages and adendiums we missing. When everything got turned in the board of directors took forever to get a signature. All I wanted was a key so we could start the construction we needed to do. The whole thing was so fucking frustrating. I was getting 10 to 20 calls and texts a day. 'When are you opening'.... 'can I get an appointment'.. It got to the point where I didn't even respond. I'd do one or two responses and then i'd get so pissed I just couldn't think about it anymore. It sucked... Well.... Sucked is kind of light.....is fucking sucked big hair balls to light?
I finally got a key.... Two weeks after my origional desired date. We painter... We cleaned... We built walls. Randy, chris, lisa, issac, clair, me, terrance, barry, jerimiah. We all got dirty... It was so great. The shop looks awesome thanks to them.
I'll finish this up in the next day or so..... I'm watching some supernatural

Just another day in pair of dice

The new 22 foot graphitti entrance piece. Notice the signatur cloud with all the people that have made the new Evilution possiable. Also I'm rep'n the 702 (Vegas) and the 970 (Vail Valley)
