Well... I'm off to Vegas... or at least I will be in the next 26 hours. I know it sounds like I have a little time, but I'm running like crazy to get everything done. I have 3 tattoos to do taday.. I need to get the shop in order... burn some travel CDs... get my car ready... oh and somewhere along those lines I have to pack. I'll post when ever I get a chance... my client just walked in.... fun

A couple of old friend stopped by today. Kris and Keith have been friends for something like 8 years now. Well Kris and myself for a little longer. She and I worked security together. She was one of the Australian crew that came over to Vail for the winter season, and then went back to Buller (ski resort in Australia) for their winter season. She ended up meeting Keith where she worked... long story short... they're now married... living in Bolder. She's a genetics engineering goddess... or at least that's what I believe she is (I'd be more specific, but I hate making myself feel all Forest Gump)... and he's a chef. Great couple. I'm going to try and hit em' up when I get back from Vegas/Cali. Keith's birthday is on the following weekend, from my return. Should be cool. I put a little 3-D tribal on his arm to help out a little spiral he had done 11 years ago. Gotta love it.

Someone once told me that one of the definitions of insanity was try the same action over and over again and expecting different results. So I guess insanity and confusion are once again running amok. I find myself squinting a lot.... brow creased.... with nothing but questions. I'm not sure why some of the things that have come up this last week have made me feel this way... I guess it must be the insanity. I'd love to go into greater detail, but some things I just don't know how to put into words. One thing that I can kind of write about is.... well..... the question why do I need to find out things about relationships that are waaaaaaaayyyyyyy over. I'm talking years. And why does it still make my skin crawl and that weird funny numb thing to happen in my stomach and legs. I just don't understand... and that's not necessarily a bad thing... but it's still one of those little parts of life I'd like to figure out . It doesn't help that 13 and I are once again speaking.... and tattooing if you've checked out my tat site.
Things are getting strange... thank god I have Vegas next week. I need some life and relaxation.... time to get centered

Things I Learned Since October 31st 2005......

1. I have an amazing group of friends They teach me what it means to be human every day. Compassion. Loyalty, Strength. Intelligence. Humor. Love. I'm constantly amazed by the actions of my friends.

2. Snow sucks. I always had a feeling, but now I know for sure.

3. Having clients who love your work and who you are is a really cool feeling.

4. CSI is a great way to finish a long day

5. The way I feel about things now is a lot more different then just a few years ago.

6. Mickeys Cues & Brews is an awesome place for a reunion. Playing pool and catching up on old times.... just works.

7. I'm still fuck'd in the head. One month shy of being sober for four years... and I'm still crazy. I really didn't expect much more, but hell there is always hope.

8. Walking around with $5000 dollars in your back pocket is an unmatched feeling

9. The Broncos can still let me down.... but it's okay... just wait til next year.

10. Tattoos can be a life long reminder that you made a mistake in your life

11. My family will always be there

12. I miss my Vegas crew. Cassandra, Shauna, Rick, Tara, Kevin, Soph, Juan, Tyson, Manny, Costa, Jackie, Chuck, Star, Steve, Triangle Club, Mickys, Sams Town, MGM... everyone and everything

13. I love my dogs, Courage & Lobo, and our cat, Smoky, more then I like 92 percent of the people in Vail.... during tourist season

14. When I pray... sometimes the answer is no.... that's why I simplified it to just "Thank you for another day"

15. Ladies like the idea of having "Tattoo Artist" on their list of "Guys I hooked up with". I've never been asked out so much in my life.

16. My car, Jenny (from Forest Gump) can be a "lady" or a "bitch" in the same hour.

17. Being cold... sometimes has nothing to do with the temperature

18. I liked going to Loaded Joes, when Adam was asking the questions

19. My porn collection scares me due to sheer volume

20. I'm growing up.... and it sucks..... sometimes

21. The Colorado Avalanche need to get their "A" game back

22. Listening to Slipknot when you're already pissed at the world is a great "gas on the fire" kind of experience.

23. I have the ability to love... I know it sounds like a easy thing... but for some of us... it was a hard thing to get back.... no matter how brief and fleeting

24. God carries me more often then I'd like to admit

25. I now have the ability to turn and walk away from something that might get someone hurt

26. Being lonely.... really, really, sucks

27. This roller coaster called life is one hell of a ride

28. I want to say thank you to all those who stand by me no matter what. You are the reasons I have breath in my lungs and hope in my heart. You all know who you are. Truly.... Thank You
