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.
