a great weekend with the fam.

with a new tattoo on and a good weekend of work, family, and fights on the versus channel, i am happy to say that things may be on the up and up. having worked friday, saturday, and sunday, saturday being the worst of them with our food prep fridge breaking down, i am happy to say that the tips were good and life outside work was very enjoyable. on friday evening after i was done with work i went over to the families house to watch some march madness with trent and have a few lienenkugels with him. great times were had until i woke up to go to work at 5 a.m. and had a massive headache and was very incoherent for a bit. saturday after work i went over to the families house again to watch the kids so trent and laurel could go on a date. the kids and i went to shopko to get squirt guns and and then to little ceasars for some delicious pizza. from there we went to camels back park to eat, drink and be merry. i nice hike up the hill for a view of the downtown area and north end of boise was quite nice. once back at the house it was time to watch where the wild things are and eat some ice cream. more work o sunday morning at 5:30 a.m. and then after that it was time o watch some cage fighting! great night of fights. here is a pic of the new tat and some fun with the kids. enjoy!

catching my breath...

well i haven't posted to the blog in about a month now and so i thought i might fill in the gaps of time. school is crazy busy, work has picked up on business and the amount of customers coming in, training at combat fitness is a slow road back with my neck and back being stiff and weak, and i have been planning to get a tattoo for some time now. i had originally planned on going to rose hill tattoo shop, but unfortunately for them the "artist" that was going to do my piece, canceled on me twice, the second time having had me show up and wait for almost an hour past the start time before anyone even showed up to tell me that the artist once again had to cancel. no phone call, text , or courtesy shown. I had even called the shop the day before to confirm, and was told yes, come in. needless to say, i have decided to go elsewhere with my business, and i have a lot of work to get done on my arms so the way i see it, they had an opportunity to have a repeat customer and they showed me that they are incapable of running a professional business with serious cliental. Chalice Tattoo, run by Darcy Nutt is where i will be going tomorrow to get my tat done by Bart Bingham of California. he is a guest to the shop this week and so i am stoked to have him work on me after having checked out his portfolio on myspace and other places on the net. pictures will be posted next week.
