I want to lose my job

I wish I could type as fast as my brian is thinking. More handouts. No wonder this economy sucks the goverment and companies are giving things away left and right. Who needs a job these days anyways. If I lose my job, I'll get unemployment, free college, if I have a ford or gm car those companies will pay for between a year to 9 payment of $500 of my car payments (that $4,500).First, if your car payments are $500 in the first place you did something wrong, sell it and buy something you can afford. Uh have you ever heard of money down and living within your means. OK here my idea.. Let my buy my brand new 2009 Malibu LTZ and then please lay me off. I could be perfectly happy going to school for free and driving my car for free and playing on facebook all day. Arrugh........... I'd like to think of myself as a honest hard working person but it's becoming easier and easier to let everybody (taxpayers) do it for me.

We are all starting to get to that milestone. We celebrated Scott's birthday this weekend and we had tons of fun. I still feel like a youngster and it doesn't feel like that long ago we were chillin in Erick's Basement but it was over 11 years ago. Oh my how some things change and yet so many things stay the same. I'm so glad to still have the same friends

We knew that these old pictures were out there, but we couldn't remember who was sitting where so they aren't lined up exactly. (Matt C. is the only one in the same spot.) oh well it was still fun.

Alicia's New ink

I pasted this clipping into my journal 8 years ago, thinking that if I ever got a tattoo, this is what I wanted. Well I did it, with a few modifications and enough guts I went under the gun and got some ink.

This was quite a leap for me to take. I've been supporting Matt for the past 10 years with his tattoos now I've finally decided that it was my turn.

Matt was going to have his 1/2 sleeve finished at the Detroit Tattoo Convention in the Ren Cen building so I decided that I would go along with him. Wanda was suppose to go with us but she chickened out. So here I am with over 100 tattoo artists ready to tattoo and I wasn't sure if this is really what I wanted to do. One, would I find a artist that fit my style. Two, if I found someone would they have an opening to tattoo me right then, I needed to do it right then before I could talk myself out of it. Third, Would they even tattoo me where I wanted.

I scoured the internet for ideas and I only saw 1 or 2 tattoos done on the inside of the foot. There were tons of samples of the outside of the foot tattoos. I've always been told that the foot was a very painful spot (I think that's why I haven't got one sooner, I was scared of the pain) So, I needed to talk with an artist to see if they would even tattoo the inside of my foot versus the outside. Sure enough they agreed that it was a very painful place but they could do it.

This is it, this was the studio that would do my tattoo. Everything just fit with Voluta Fine Art Tattoo Studio. Voluta Tattoo in Indianapolis was everything I could have asked for. I walked by their booth several times looking at the portfolios and talking with the artists and something just kept drawing me back to them, Everyone was so nice, kind and fun, plus a fine art tattoo studio. I didn't know they even exisited, it was great. What a great experience.
