this thing just ate my blog post. so im going to be less awesome in this one.

im currently without the internet at my apartment so i generally use it while at work on break, after or before... depending.

speaking of, I work at 5pts bar & grill as a hostess. I really enjoy it and I work with a lot of great people...

anyway.

im at my moms right now because I just needed some time to be with family and to go without having to take total care of myself for a bit. why?

a friend of mine- Jordan Sheldon, drown saturday evening in panama city beach. the reports say he 'went missing' however, 2 of our friends were with him and we were well aware even before the body was finally found.

they didnt find him until monday evening.

its been really tough to handle for a lot of us.

his brother went down today to identify him. he will be cremated before he is sent back home.

the whole process is very expensive (as we all know) so this will cut down on some of the expenses... however, a bunch of our friends bands are going to put on a show in which all of the profits will go to Jordans family to help.

its all just crappy.

Ill be going home Thursday. My older brother and I are going to pick up my check, get me some new clothes for the new uniform/dress code at work and get some lunch before I go to work. Spending the day with him has always made me smile. hes one of my bests.

on another note, the first of three sessions for my next tattoo will be this sunday. it will be a pretty long session but probably one of the shorter ones. Ill be getting the outline and a good bit of the shading... each session is 200 dollars. thankfully my arms are small because i really cant imagine how much it would cost or how much time it would take... dang. thanfully, im super pain tollerant and really patient.

its going to be a half sleeve of teh virgin of guadalupe, basically. paul and i drew it together and i had control over the entire design.. of course, paul had input as well. its pretty much going to be the most awesome tattoo ever.

ill post photos as soon as i can...

hope things are good.

love.
