things seem to be going good. the apprenticeship is going really fast it seems. which is good i think? kinda overwhelming when i stop and think about it but thats okay. Nadine is gone to calgary right now so it kinda takes a bit of the pressure off.
Ive tentatively set up my first tattoo for september. Its gonna be on my brother which is super rad. Hes been really supportive of me tattooing for a long time, so it means a lot that my first would be on him. Its gonna be this rad skull on his leg, with vines and roses and badassness. I think we probably would have done it sooner, but hes gonna be on tour till then. BUT theres a chance he may be back for one or two days before then so maybe we could start it sooner. It seems like Nadine wants me to start tattooing as soon as possible, which is encouraging but also stressful. shes not into practicing on fruit or pigskin it seems. so my first time putting ink in something might be the real deal in someones flesh! :/
in other news, my other job is getting really tiring. i dunno if ive just lost my patience for that kinda work or what. but it seems to take a lot more out of me lately. i think maybe i just need a change of environment. i mean ive been with the same two dudes pretty consistently for almost 5 years. they are pretty challenging dudes that are prone to a lot of violence, and i just dont know if i wanna deal with that anymore. its not that i cant deal with the aggression physically, it just seems like i dont handle it with jedi like calmness anymore...
other other news/ i cant really stand being at home anymore. i really need to move out but im barely making enough to cover my bills let a lone rent somewhere.
guess ill have to stick it out a while longer till i can make some serious cheese whiz.
