Another 1300 miles and I'm still an idiot. Christmas was what it was (I just couldn't get into the spirit this year), New Year was a total waste, and pretty much everything since then has been one long string of disappointment. <sigh> 
Oh, I did get to meet Brooklyn over Christmas, though. What a sweetheart! Go say 'Hi' if you haven't already!
The other exception to the holiday suck-fest was round two of the ink adventure happening on my back. It's pretty amazing to see the ability of the artist to translate my words into an image... especially amazing when considering my artistic ability is limited to stick figures, at best. Round one was outline work from the base of my neck to below my belt, mostly around the spine, but expanding at the base to the kidney area. Spine wasn't nearly as bad as I had heard... in fact, it was almost nothing and I was beginning to wonder what all the fuss was about. Kidneys weren't much fun, though.
Round two was outline across the width of my back across lats, down backside of ribs and near underarms... that sucked! Maybe I just had a bad day, but round two got my attention on more than one occasion. 
Even so, I'm really pleased with what's been done so far and am looking forward to round three this Friday. Don't know if it will be near completion of the outline or begin shading or both, but it will be another 4 hour adventure. 
Also looking forward to hanging with tmronin and Jessikaaaa while I'm up there.
Saturday the 27th is a huge ? mark. Anyone got any ideas? The next weekend however should be big fun since that will be the Philadelphia Tattoo Arts Convention. Many photoshoots scheduled to be brought to you courtesy of tmronin and the rest of the TeamRockstar crew! I look forward to meeting those I haven't and seeing again those I have. We'll be busily bringing you our best from Thursday thru Sunday, so stay tuned!!!
Anyway, hope all is going great for everyone and that it continues to do so. I'll catch up tomorrow on replies and comments. A lot of ground to cover since I've been away so long... Later --->E
PS If one more girl who isn't interested tells me I could have any girl I want, I think I'm going to scream!

Are you gonna post any pic's of the ink or do we have to wait until it's all done? I might start on my back in the summer, but I want at least one arm sleeved before I start that. It' good to know that the spine isn't that tender, but I didn't think it was since the skin on a humans back is thicker there than any other place on the body.
I hope your year is better than last......I haven't heard much from you lately, but Maxi always says nice things about you.....so at least I know your still kicking!!!
Later bro.......
