I've decided this is going on my right oblique area. I was drawing it for practice and it came out waaaaaay better than expected. Maybe it will bring some good karma. Lord knows I need it.

I fucking despise my phone. I have to look for another one tomorrow. ew.
I was wondering why I didn't get a single call all day. I hate Cingular.

I really wanted to talk to my homegurl Tuesday. Sorry toots. I've gotten too used to talking to you but you seem to get me lately. Thanks for listening to me ramble every now and then and giving very much needed smiles and laughs, even if they are at my expense.

Al said I need to work on my fingerwaves. Okay. Done.

I hate to get petty and shit, but it hurts to see my ex doing so well. Would it kill her not to be so over me?! Ms. Bendy-Hotsuff told me it took her four years to fully recover from her split. FOUR YEARS. Sounds so far away.

Shit, June sounds so far away right now and that's when I get to go to Longbeach for my favorite tattoo convention and see my favorite people and maybe make some freakin' money!

I love being in the shop. I feel like I belong and respected even though I'm just an apprentice. And everyone is so positive and helpful when it comes to my training. With all the shit I'm going through, it's become the one place I can truly just be me. My safe haven.

I've been melancholy lately, but you wouldn't know it if you saw me. I'm getting good at hidng it. I don't know if that's good or bad. But I keep telling myself that I have to go through the storm to get to calmer seas and everyone goes through a test of their resolve at some point. This is mine and I intend to bitchslap it and come out laughing on the other side.

The glass is half-full goddammit!!!

Risin' up, back on the street
Did my time, took my chances
Went the distance now I'm back on my feet
Just a man and his will to survive
So many times it happens too fast
You trade your passion for glory
Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them alive

It's the eye of the tiger
It's the thrill of the fight
Rising up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor
Stalks his prey in the night
And he's watching us all
With the eye of the tiger

Face to face, out in the heat
Hangin' tough, stayin' hungry
They stack the odds still we take to the street
For the kill, with the skill to survive

It's the eye of the tiger
It's the thrill of the fight
Rising up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor
Stalks his prey in the night
And he's watching us all
With the eye of the tiger

Risin' up, straight to the top
Had the guts, got the glory
Went the distance, now I'm not gonna stop
Just a man and his will to survive

It's the eye of the tiger
It's the thrill of the fight
Rising up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor
Stalks his prey in the night
And he's watching us all
With the eye of the tiger

The eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger
