woo hoo

less than 12 hours to the matrix reloaded.

i’m going into the office to cut and mount up the layouts i did today and then bail out and head to the movies.

i should get to bed but before i do, i’m going to post the first picture of my new work in progress.

i have so much to say at the moment but i’m not quite sure where to begin and what i want to say.

i want to talk about how much i miss vic and deleting my friend ian’s contact info off my computer today (he died last year just before christmas), how teary gilmore girls made me and as much as i like the season finale of smallville, something seemed to be missing.

actually that seems to be the crux of my life at the moment. something is missing – victoria. she is my light and my joy, she means the world to me and being without her, is at best; difficult, at worst…

it’s where i am now. holding on daily to the joy her presence, even online brings me.

fuck, i’m getting maudlin.

good night.

i thought my MS (which ever you choose) comment had caught up with me. 

i’m addicted, i will admit this freely, no vic, no journalspace, i was just beside myself. 

i really should get a life. this is a short post as i’m heading out again to catch the season finale of gilmore and smallville (told you i had no life) 

i’ll be back with more links and adventures later.

and i’m not the only one who thinks so…

martha vs kathie lee

hospitality spelled backwards

there are quite a few more these are just the ones that caught my eye.

so vic just came on and told me she’d be back in an hour, so she can watch the final hour of the martha stewart movie. i don’t think it’s out of love for martha, i think it’s more in a know thine enemy kind of way.

but when you’ve just gotten up you make all sorts of weird mental assoications (actually i don’t need an excuse, i make them anyway) so i was iming a friend and was about to abbreviate martha stewart and realised that the two of the most evil empires have the same initials.

Martha Stewart / MicroSoft = MS.

coincidence? i don’t think so. 

there is heinious evil afoot here. 

are they one and the same? or are they legion? who else has the initial MS? is there a plot?

these and other questions enquiring minds want to know.

i am such an idle fucker. this is what happens when you have too much time on your hands.

dictionary of measurements

and this link which i’m posting with a degree of trepidation, i don’t agree with all of the things on the list but some of them do strike a chord.

the shallowing of american tastes

and our responibility as bloggers

$1 trillion (not even sure how many zeros that is) is missing from the Pentagon

more after work.

apologies to robin williams. another day, another week. my boss isn’t in yet, so my day is shaping up nicely. my back is healing magnificently which is good cause i’m running out of the crap tshirts i don’t mind getting stained with ink and blood. (yeah, i know tmi)

the throbbing in my shoulder has receeded to a satisfying ache.

in other news, i have begun a job hunt of sorts here for vic, i’m waiting on a call back. speaking of which it’s been two weeks since i heard from the guy who said i was undervaluing myself, i should give him a call.

i’m going to try and get some work finished before my boss shows up, i shall post anon.

strangely the itching has begun, usually it takes two or three days before it starts, i realise that most of my post about this tattoo, i should point out that i have others and they can be see here 

my tattoos 

i swear this is my last tattoo. my friend sam told me to keep saying that and i may convince myself yet. 

tonight is going to be an early night, i’m still in pain, still without cable, my boss is back tomorrow and i’m taking wednesday off to see the matrix, so i have to make sure all my shit is wrapped up. 

as soon as i get near a digital camera, i’m going document this work in progress. i’m looking at 2 or 3 weeks of ink, about twice a week. fun, fun, fun. 

gnight to one and all

i am returned

i still ache and had to sleep on my stomach last night, but i stood in the mirror today and this is so definitely worth the pain. 

ok, i think i’m in a better position to describe the tattoo, it’s starts on my chest, left and right side, goes over the shoulder, crosses on my upper back and recrosses to end in a point midway down my spine, the best way to describe it, is a pair of folded wings or a heart.

formula one today kicked major fucking ass. two false starts, ferarri on fire in the pits. what more could i ask for. i had a blast then i geeked out and finished setting up a machine for the rest of the day and then saw one of the funniest episodes samuari jack – jack through the looking glass. the writers were very definitely on class A drugs.

i miss victoria, on many levels and of late, the physical needs have become very dominant. getting inked hasn’t helped, my level of arousal has leapt through the roof. yes, the pain is a turn on. ok. sort of suffering for your art. lol. but i realised last night that the situation is getting completely out of hand, i saw anna nicole smith on tv and thought, you know she isn’t so bad…

i need my wife! I WANT MY WIFE!

breathe. 

i must not fear. fear is the mind killer. fear is the little death that brings about total obliteration. i will face my fear. i will permit it to pass over me and through me. and when it has gone past, i will turn with the inner eye to see it’s path. where the fear has gone, there will be nothing, only i will remain. 

i’ll be back later.

i’ve just done one shoulder blade, there is still the work down my spine to be done and over the collarbone to the front.

the pain ain’t no where done yet. the bene gesserit mantra helps, but it is the beauty of the finished work that i can focus on, like the blog the pain is catharsis.

i am hard pressed to describe what this particular piece is, so i intend to call it conclusion.

as i said before this is my last major work, it’s tribal in interpretation there are hearts and birds and light.

i’m crashing by a friend without a landline tonight to fix her computer and watch formula one in the morning, speaking of which let me go check what the qualifying was this morning. missed that too this morning. sigh.

have a great night, i’ll be back on the morrow.

god, i love it. i spent most of today at my tattoo aritist we worked out what my last piece is going to be.

yes, this the final major work, i’m doing, after this the names of any future children, that’s it.

so he started, a lot of it is on my shoulder blades and my spine, i am in so much fucking pain right now. i’m going back on wednesday to do some more, this is going to be done in stages over the next couple of weeks. yes it’s that big, pictures will follow as each section is completed.

anyway my daughter is waiting, i’ll be back with more details later.
