tattoos

The swallow, actually my first one that i've done, i like swallow tattoos but i dont get the opportunity to do them very often.
This client hoped to become a tattooist, good luck to her.

these were a cover up of some chinese symbols. on an air hostess, turns out i'm in the wrong job, they get paid for spending a week in the bahamas

little bit of a rant

i've had a pretty stressful week.

and its only thursday.

monday, lots of relationship issues, which seemed to have sorted themselves out, so moving onwards and upwards i hope. but i find it amazing how the biggest of arguments can be sparked of by the littlest things, it just seems to snowball.

tuesday, everything back to normal, (i hope) went to see a comedy night at the pub, which definatly lifted the sppirits in a much needed way.

wednesay, stress of rent due day, no more needs to be said about that really.

there are a few things that havent been making my life any easier and its these things that are really begining to piss me off,

1. the buses..... never on time, wankers drive them, they stink, chavs sit at the back, blaring out their tinny music from crap phone speakers, or generally being loud and obnoxious. theres always one old dear who takes three weeks stepping onto or off the bus. toddlers scream while their indifferent teenage mothers stare obliviously out of the window. gangs of schoolkids who make so much noise you cant block them out no matter how loud you put your mp3 player on, and you find yourself dodging projectiles from the schoolkids too. and the drivers dont care, if you do try and complain about the service you get ignored or told to get off.

2. the internet.... the connection is crap, its slow, unreliable, and generally extremely annoying. but thats pay as you go dongles for you. i would get broadband but i dont have the cash, which brings me onto my next point.

3. customers who dont turn up for appointments.... i've spent time and effort on a design, i expect you to show up or at least let me know you cant make it (you know who you are)

4. facebook.... bored of the silly games now, i do not wish to send you coins in bubblewitch saga or find the crate in hidden chronicles, i want my notifications to be actually something interesting for once. also if your off to the park, the shops, or even just for a poo, keep it to yourself, dont announce it on facebook, nobody cares.

5. old people.... i dontmean the slightly old, i mean the really old. you know the ones, they're so wrinkly they look like a prune with legs, they usually smell like prunes too. as well as the previously mentioned excessive time spents getting on and off buses, they spend far too much time in front of me at checkouts, its just plain rude to hold up a queue of people by telling the cashier your old war stories, paying in pennies, and tutting at people in a rush. WE ARE IN A RUSH BECAUSE WE GOT STUCK WAITING FOR YOU!!!!!


rant over......
well for now anyway

Relationships

Relationships, defined right here 1. a connection, association, or involvement. 2. connection between persons by blood or marriage. 3. an emotional or other connection between people: the relationship between teachers and students. 4. a sexual involvement; affair. Its easy enough to look up the meaning of the word in the dictionary, not so easy to figure out the meaning of a relationship in real life, let alone make one work. they require communication, compromise, understanding and a lot of hard work. two people in a seemingly loving relationship can end up hating each other with the flick of a switch. its important to show each other how much you appreciate each other, make the other feel appreciated, comfort each other when times get hard and dont let the passion die. it might seem like a really simple list but its awful if even if one of these gets left out let alone all of them. the arguments start and everything the other person does just winds you up. the question is, when the honeymoon period is over and you just cant stand the sight of each other, how do you get back what you lost? i suppose the best thing is to try and figure out why you're together in the first place. any other suggestions on postcard to the usual address, cos i need all the help i can get.
