Saturday me and a friend went over to one of the guys I work with’s house. Me, to get my tattoo done, her to see about getting a new one. It took about 2 ½ hours to get completely done. And I’m quite satisfied with it. Earlier this week, I gave the artist the same pic I posted here in my last post. And he always draws a new design out first; it lets him know about how difficult it’ll be to do. Anyway, he drew it in black & white, instead of in color, like the original. And, to me at least, it turned out even better. The only color in it is in the eyes of the tigers, which are red. And when I went out after, I, along with a guy he did the day before, was a great advertisement for his work. He may have another couple customers. This guy does awesome work.
Here’s the finished product:
I also said that I would post a pic of my other tattoo when I posted this one. The design is by the same guy that did the one above. It is two horse heads in a Yin/Yang symbol. For my first tattoo, I wanted it to be something simple. And this one fitted the bill, and of course, I also really liked it as well. Well enough that I wanted it to be permanent.
And here is my first one:
Then Saturday night, me and Biz went out again. I wasn’t planning on staying out all night, but I didn’t pay attention to the time, and well, I got home around 5:30 AM. But that’s that, back to last night. Every Saturday night, the bar has a pool tournament, with the winner getting a liter bottle of JD. Last week, Biz and his partner won. I didn’t play last week. This week however. Both Biz and I each had our own teams. He had the same partner as last week. And I had an Australian girl that I have known as an acquaintance for a few months. I’m not a very good pool player, but I do have my moments, and she is a self professed poor player. The only reason that we formed a team is so that the tourney could start. Hey, they needed another team, and we didn’t really expect to win anyway. But, we did win the first game, but not because we better than the other team, but because they put the 8-ball in one shot too early. We still had 6, out of 7, balls still on the table. The other team was on their last one. I guess that luck smiled on us right then. Our second game was much more even, and it came down to the 8-ball for us. But, unfortunately, my partner followed the 8 with the cue. So we lost. But, it was no big deal; we didn’t even expect to win the first game. I think that I would take her as a partner again, if she wanted to play in the tourney again. As for Biz’s team, I think that they got to the finals and lost there. But I really don’t know because I was just a little bit distracted after the loss. I guess I’ll have to ask him about it on Tuesday at work.
And, today, well, I was lazy again. I was invited to go to a Drowning Pool concert, but declined. Not that I don’t like the band. Their music is in my top 10 favorites. Just, I didn’t feel like it, and I have 24 hour duty tomorrow. I didn’t want to take the chance of being late for it. That kind of stuff is frowned upon around here. Besides, I really didn’t want a bunch of people bumping into my new tattoo, it’s a little painful. And with everyone that was accidentally hitting it last night; I don’t want to repeat the experience.
As you may know, I read a few other blogs on a regular basis. And my favorite one is by a Singaporean girl that goes by Izzy. (You can read her stuff here. (New addy.) For her age, 20, she is an excellent writer. She is able to present her opinions in a clear manner. However, in her 2nd post on 12 January, (about capital punishment) she takes a position that I completely disagree with. (As is her right.) And she doesn’t have a comments section. (Too many people were being extremely rude to her in it.) Plus, I want to be able to present my opinion in as clear a manner as she did. So, I am going to take my time to compose my response to her showing the opposite side of the argument. After I post it, I will invite her to read it. Hopefully, I will get a response, but I don’t think that I will, she may be just a little bit busy with college. But I do believe that she will appreciate the gesture. We’ll just have to see.
I’ll see ya’ll later.
