So I'm not a big fan of Christmas. It has nothing to do with religion, more with the fact that when I was 8, my brother committed suicide on the 24th of December... not the best gift. I learned a lot that day, and sorta lost a part of myself. Today though I played Santa for the kids of my co-workers... and I had fun....

Christmas shopping... ahhh... the time of year when chaos hits all stores and insanity breaks loose over plush animals that talk, books that can literally go "Boo" and clothes that we hope fit the person we're buying for. The mass commercialization of Christmas has become so hectic that mom's throw elbows over lulu hoodies (I've actually seen this) and husbands venture into the store trying...

So first tattoo and it's a sleeve. I was so nervous and excited about it. The outline is finished, and the color and shading starts in 3 weeks. Kinda happy that it's cold out and I can get away with wearing long sleeves.

Saw Immortals the other night, and was disappointed. I thought it was going to be more like 300, with the cinematography and...

Work season is almost complete, snow removal is next for about 2 months, then a vaca to Mexico! It'll be the first time my sister has ever been out of the country, so that'll be pretty cool! After Mexico, a stop in Toronto, to catch up with some friends, then Vancouver, to say hi to the 3 god-daughters. February will be a bit busy, but...

So ya... Ummm... I've been MIA for a long time and I apologize. Work tends to take up a ton of my time and when I do have free time, it's usually spent sleeping.

So re-cap of life:

Last post I was in Paris... that seems so long ago... back on topic; Paris was amazing, saw pretty much everything I wanted to catch in Paris...

In Paris. So happy that everyone here is very friendly and can understand me in English for the most part. Recommend visiting this beautiful city to anyone. Seen the Eiffel Tower (at night when it lights up and they do their light show), the Arc (also at night and we caught the Eiffel Tower light show from there), Notre Dame Cathedral on Easter Monday, the...

I leave for Paris, and the rest of Europe in 2 sleeps! I just realized all the shit I still have to do, and I'm a little nervous that I've procrastinated too much. I also have my friends birthday dinner tomorrow night. I'm happy my flight leaves in the afternoon at least.

So I have some laundry to do, movies and music to throw onto...

Alright, so today was a bit busy;

Went to work to start the hiring process for the upcoming work season... Had one person no-show and another person who I think I'll end up hiring because he seems excited about working. Went through 28 resume's for flag people... so many students.

I also had my consult for my tattoo. It's my first tattoo! A full sleeve,...

Whoops... been a little bit.

Last night went out with my traveling buddy, and we booked our hotel in Paris and started making our plans for Europe. A living, breathing plan that can be flexible for the both of us. Realized that arriving in Amsterdam might be expensive, then started to chat with a guy at the bar who's friend lives there, so we might...
