Welcome back long time no talk. Just messing with you. Anyways though about the whole tattoo thing I recently got to see an old buddy of mine this past weekend at my boyfriends birthday party and he had a really cool tattoo done on the forearm of his arm. It was of a five or six pointed star, I personally can not remember how many points there were but you get the point and then it had wings going out of it and it was all done in black and white and it actually was really good looking. Personally though I think tattoos look better with color but this one looked good on its very own with just black ink. The wings kind of reminded me of the wings that I have done on my back so that was kind of cool to have somewhat related tattoos in that sense. Now of days tough many people are getting wings on there bodies so you really have to be original if you plan on getting wings on your body and you really can not go with just the basic wings you have to spice it up some or else you are just going to be like everyone else with wings done. I use to want my back done with angel wings until I got my lower back done but now of days that tattoo is way to popular and I really do not want to ink myself up and just be like everyone else. You always want to be original with your designs that way no one else has the exact same thing on there body.

Hey everyone welcome back. Well anyways I have found out recently that my brother is thinking now about getting a tattoo and he is kind of branching off the same idea that I had for my wrist tattoo. At first I could have sworn to death that he found out that I wanted one and was trying to get me in trouble by telling my father that he wanted a tattoo done of Arabic writing on his chest and I just knew right then and there and he knew and wanted to get me in trouble. I really came to find out though that he actually had no idea that I wanted to get a tattoo done of Arabic writing and that it was all a mistake on my half for thinking that he knew. But anyways so yeah he wants to get his first tattoo done. He is really not sure yet though where he plans on going to or what he wants the tattoo to say in Arabic, but I hope that it all turns out good for him. Recently though I had my Kirkwood orientation and I saw a girl there who had a tree of flowers going down her whole arm and it really made me wonder if that would look good also on my arm. Personally though I would do like a rose tree or something so that way it was not exactly like that girls but I have just also thought that a full sleeve would look good on one of my arms I just have to think personally the cost of getting all of that done and the time that it would take. But I also have to think if I would want a full sleeve later down the road in life.

So anyways to change the subject just a little this weekend is really going to be a blast and I can not wait. I do not have to come to school on Friday because of the reason that I have to take my mom to her surgery which is really going to suck for her and I feel really bad to. But then that night it is my boyfriends birthday and since it is going to be so nice out we are going to have a cook out and I am surprising him buying helping him out and paying for the rest of his tattoo to be finished up. I really hope that he is going to enjoy that present. But the cook out really turns out great and that at least the friends that are closest to him show up instead of being rude and not even coming at all. I really hope that if they do plan on coming that they decide not just to come for the food but also stay a little afterwards to just talk and hang out. I am so excited though because it is his 20 birthday but then again not that excited since he is almost 21 and can not stop talking about how excited he is to go to the bars which really makes me nerves since there will be drunk girls all over him and everything. I really do not know how I will handle that but we will see when the time gets here.

Hey everyone so I was thinking for a little bit that I am already thinking of one more tattoo and it is going to be of what I had shown you in one of the first post. I sort of want to get a rose trail across my back and have the roses on a vine kind of going up my rib cage and onto my shoulder. I am debating though if I want to go through the pain of having to get that done on my ribs. Since I saw my friend get his tattoo on his ribs and I would have to say and he agreed with me that it was a extremely painful spot to get a tattoo done there. And it literally took the tattoo artist 13 hours to fully finish the whole tattoo with color and everything. I really can not imagine how in the world anyone could sit there that long. I know when I got mine done on my lower back it really began to hurt when the color was added, because it was already very tender after the outline and then when he rubbed the color it literally sent pains into my leg because my back was so sensitive. I just hope that if I decide to get it done that I can really sit through all of it and not just want to get up and march my way out of there. That is really my only issue besides the fact of trying to save up the money to get the tattoo. It will probably be around the range of 500 to 600 dollars and that is really alot to have to save up.

Hey everyone welcome back. Well I finally got the true way of how to write my new tattoo in Arabic and it looks awesome. This way to if I ever meet a Arabic person I will have the right way of writing it instead of having it come from google translator and be wrong. It was kind of embarrassing though to go up and ask my friend how to spell and write it out and he said that what I got from google was completely wrong in ever way. All of the words had been switched around. But now I am straight on track and I have everything ready for when I get this tattoo done. I am debating though how to get the color done on it and if I want anything done around the outside of it. It is hard to decide though because I have such small wrist that I do not know if I can even fit my whole saying around my whole wrist without having to make it really small. But I am hoping and praying that everything comes out right. Knowing my luck though is that something will happen to go wrong. But anyways I know that even if it comes out a little different then what I am looking for it will still be an amazing tattoo in the fact that it is going to mean more then the world to me and my father hopefully. If I have not said it yet he really hates the idea of tattoos and if he ever knew that I had a tattoo I would be out on the streets. That's why me and my mom keep my tattoos a secret because she knows that that exact thing will happen. But anyways this post happens to be done now. Thank you for reading it.

Hey everyone welcome back. So this past week has been very interesting. Trying to get everything decided on prom and then people really pissing me off and now deciding that they do not want to pay for the limo when I already put all of my money into paying it and do not want to be stuck with the whole bill. But anyways with my whole new diet thing I have finally decided that I want to get my belly button pierced because my stomach is somewhat in better shape. I just have to really decide when I want to get it and if I want to pay the money for it because it cost 40 dollars to get a belly button piercing. But hopefully I can decide soon before prom so that way I will know if I need to get a different piercing by then so that it does not show through the dress. But anyways away from that topic I found out the my friend is deciding to get a tattoo done on her arm and it is going to be of her babies footprints when she has her going up her arm and I think that it is going to look really great on her and she will really like it. She is going to get it done at Hardcore which is a pretty decent place even though I would never get a tattoo done anywhere else besides Neon Dragon. But I am going to go now and enjoy the weekend.

Hey everyone so about this whole tattoo thing. I have just recently found out that my friend is wanting to become a tattoo artist and she is thinking that she is going to be able to make it even though she is being trained by the worst person in the whole state of Iowa. He is a real drug person and he real can not do tattoos. He digs way to far in to peoples skin and before he does your tattoo he has to go into the back room and do drugs. Like real his only clients are under age teens who want to get a tattoo and can not wait until they are 18 years old. Every shop in town makes fun of this shop and I really do not understand why she does not get out of that shop and go and work for the best so that way she is trained by the best. Working at this shop is really going to give her a bad reputation and no one is going to every let her transfer over to a new shop because they all know that this guy can not teach her the real art of tattoos. I feel bad though because she really thinks that this guy is the real deal but she will come out to find out that he is a loser just like everyone else has told her. Its just disgusting cause I went in there myself one day and he tried to get my friend to have sex with him and he is literally as old as my dad and that is just sick. He also has his prison photo posted up on the wall. This shop is just horrible and I hope she gets out of there fast and soon.

Hey everyone welcome back. So i finally got an appointment for my new tattoo and it is all the way in august. Which sucks really bad because I really want to get it sooner than that. But oh well I guess. I waited far to long to get an appointment with Jason. He really fills up fast. so that must so a good sign of how good his work is and even the other people in his shop like Andrew. It is difficult though trying to find out the exact way to write my saying out in Arabic. So many different translator sites keep writing it in a different way and it is really starting to frustrate me a lot and I just really need to find out the exact way. I really do not want to get the tattoo if the spelling of it is not right. Who would really want to walk around with a tattoo in a different language and then come to find out that what you got tattooed on your body is not even really what it means. That would be horrible embarrassing or at least it would be to me. This tattoo is really going to mean so much to me though, even though I really do not have a whole lot of Lebanese in me my grandfather was full and my dad is half and I just really want to get this for them and show them that I really do respect there background. And even though I never got to meet my grandfather I hope that he is looking down and is proud of what I am doing and really respects this tattoo. I just really want everyone to be proud of whatever I decide to do in my life and self.

Hey so anyways more and more on tattoos again. Me and my boyfriend are thinking about soon going in and adding some more art to his body. We just can not really decide what to get done. At first he really wanted to fix up his first tattoo by adding some smoke into the background of his initials and then have a skull coming out of the middle of it. Which sounds awesome but I do not think that he is very set on that idea. Now he is thinking that he wants to get something done on his back but can not decide what yet. I know though that whatever he does it is going to look amazing because he has a really good taste in art and he would not get anything put on his body that is going to look bad in the long run of things. I am starting to think though that I might want to eventually get sleeves done at least on one arm and have at the top of the shoulder a rose bush going all the way done and then added other things in after awhile. I just have to fully think about it first and if I am going to enjoy it later in life or just really regret it later in life. I will get it all figured out here soon enough in time.

Hey so to tell you more about tattoos my friend is about to go and get a new one added on to his arm here in July. And it is a pretty sick tattoo. He is getting a tattoo done of a cartoon pin up girl and she is going to be holding a ink gun in her hands. The best part though is that he wants to eventually get a whole sleeve done and with the pin up girl being added he is going to make it so that the pin up girl has selves herself on her body. It really is going to come out really sick looking I can not wait to see it. He also though later wants to add a cloud at the top of his shoulder and have it be raining down his arm all over the other tattoos. He also wants to get a bar code put on his arm as well to show that he is a product of HyVee since he has worked there so long and will be there for awhile more. He is going to make sure to that the bar code has the same first numbers as all the HyVee products that way it is official. I think that one is kind of weird but he has the choice to do whatever he wants with his body and hopefully his sleeve will come out looking awesome. Which I already know it will since Jason Evans is a tattoo artist genius. Hopefully he likes it to all in the end or else that would really suck to have all that work done and really not enjoy it at all.

Hey everyone welcome back once again. Well I had looked up how to write my next tattoo out in Arabic and it is actually very interesting looking but I am going to have to go to the shop tonight and get myself an appointment so that way I do not have to wait all the way into August. I really think that if I had to wait that long to get a tattoo I would probably most likely forget about the appointment and then have to reschedule and that would probably be another couple of months before I could get it again. Which would suck horrible to have to wait that long. But anyways I am really excited about that tattoo because it really has a whole lot of meaning to me. It is part of my life that I do not ever want to forget and putting this tattoo on me will show that I have great respect for my background and hopefully my father will approve of this tattoo. It will be difficult though to get him to approve this tattoo because he really hates the whole aspect of tattoos. He is the kind of person that thinks that they are trashy looking and disgusting. Which is the reason that I have not told him about my two tattoos or else I probably would be in very big trouble. I am hoping though that this tattoo will change his mind because it is for him and the whole idea of me getting tattoos is because it is my body and I love the fact that I can express how I feel through amazing body art. It really is a great way to express yourself. I just can not really decide what color of ink I want it done in and if I want to add anything around the outside of it. I will come up with something though.

Hey everyone welcome back. This weekend has been pretty good except from the part that I had to take a stupid ACT test on Saturday which took forever. Besides that though it has been a pretty good weekend. I have decided on a new tattoo that I am going to get once I graduate. It is going to be Arabic writing saying the haddad family. It is going to go across my wrist like a bracelet type tattoo. I think it is really going to look good and I can not wait to tell my dad about it because I am doing it on behalf of his heritage. So I hope that he is really going to like it. The thing is though that Jason is booked all the way to July so it is going to be hard to get appointment with him. So I am going to have to go in there sometime soon and schedule that with him. I am really excited to get this one just because of the significance of it to me. I do think though that it is going to hurt really bad since I have small skinny wrist. I just hope though that it does not hurt as bad as my back tattoo cause that one actually hurt. Especially when he had to go over my back bone. Well anyways that is my plan for now but you never know it could change.

Hey everyone welcome back. So I have some tragic news this past Sunday my uncle pasted away. It is horrible sad because I really loved that guy and he was so nice to everyone that he knew. Every child that was born in the family he would make them either a wooden cradle or high chair for the girls and a wooden fire truck for the boys. He dedicated his life to his family and his beloved wife Judy. I just feel so bad for her because Darrell was the love of her life. They were like best friends there were never apart and to just see her yesterday at the funeral just made me loose it. She is taking pretty hard but she puts a good front up. I just know that he will be loved and missed by everyone that he knew and every one's lives that he touched. He really was a remarkable man and husband, and I know that I am going to miss him horrible bad. I just really could not believe how bad I broke down at the funeral I really was not expecting it but when they kept saying Judy's name and did the flag fold I just crumbled. But it was a nice funeral and he will be happy up there with Jesus Christ. After though we had our usual family dinner get together in remembrance of him and it was actually very well put together. Both sides of the family was there and we all got to catch up on old times and see family that we had not seen in a long time. It was very nice. In remembrance of Darrell Lewis.

Hey everyone welcome back. Spring break was amazing but yet the weather sucked horrible back here in cedar rapids. It almost sucked so bad that it almost ruined spring break here in Iowa, but what really can ruin spring break that much it is a whole week off of school which rocks big time. I know that teachers also enjoy it too. They would be crazy if they did not enjoy it. What is there not to enjoy, sleeping in, no work, no homework for students, nothing really to worry about. My spring break though was mostly spent spending time with my lovely boyfriend who always makes every day better for me. I know that was a little to much but it is true i love him dearly. But anyways back to spring break I mostly sat and watched movies or went to movies and even went out to dinner a whole lot to. But it was fun. I am jealous of the kids though that could afford to go out to Mexico and all those other spring break places in the nice warm sun and see that wonderful beaches. Instead back here i spent the whole time watching it either rain, be windy, or snow. Not one day was it even close to being nice out. It really made it so that i did not even want to be outside at all the whole spring break. I also got to spend time with my other friends as well and got a nice lovely income tax return in the mail which everyone loves to receive. I wonder what I will spend that on soon. Well talk to you all later.
