UPDATE

Wow..where to start.

I started going to RCC. I'm really happy that I'm moving forward in life. I'm not really a school person, but I figure that I should go because..
1: My Mom would've wanted me to
2: I qualify for a special grant from Financial Aid, which will pay for all my classes and books and also pay me.
3: I don't really have anything going on in my life right now, so why not?

It's been okay so far. I'm taking Art Appreciation, and History 7 right now. I got into History 7 two weeks late, but I haven't missed that much. All I really need to do is catch up on some reading. I need to draw a "Surreal" picture transcending between reality and a "Dream Like State". I can't draw for shit, so this should be really interesting.

In my last post I spoke of attending Musink..I'd highly suggest NOT going unless you're actually getting tattooed. My friend and I sat around for 5 hours waiting for Danzig to play. Sadly, I didn't get to meet Glenn. Maybe it was for the best. I heard he can be kind of a dick.

While we're on the subject of tattoos, I might as well let you all know my status (Since I figure you all are DYING to know...hahaha. RIGHT?!).
Elbows fully healed now. It actually wasn't as bad getting tattooed in that area as I thought. I was just sat in an uncomfortable position. My elbow looked insanely disgusting afterwards (Because of swelling). I went in again (we're talking about JIM from INKAHOLICS, mind you. www.myspace.com/inkaholics OR www.inkaholics.com ..They don't have to much stuff up on either websites, but you should still check them out either way..) and got my under arm Tim Burton piece done. He did a lot of black shading in it, and wasn't able to color it in but I'm going back the 18th to (hopefully) finish it up.
I went down to High Voltage the other day..You know that shop, right? It's kind of popular..
I kind of regret setting up this appointment so soon. I emailed the guy I wanted to do my piece (DAN SMITH or..Dan "Under") to ask him how much he'd charge me, and he got really excited about the idea I gave him. I got a Microphone with the Joy Division album cover of UNKNOWN PLEASURES embedded in the lines with a banner that says "Heart And Soul" (A Joy Division Song) around the bottom. I originally wanted the script to wrap around the microphone, but Dan drew leaves and thornes around the microphone and put the script at the bottom..It came out really really good. He's a really cool dude, somewhat quiet when he's tattooing but that's understandable. I wanted to go to Dan before he started tattooing in this shop, but things just didn't happen. On a side note, I absolutely HATE HATE HATE driving in Hollywood and LA. It's a nightmare down there, and I felt like shooting myself on the way back.

My allergies were acting up earlier this week. I'm feeling better now, but hopefully they'll stay down.

I'm going to stop now. This is probably the longest blog I've posted. I appreciate your time if you read it all the way through.

Peace and Love,
