Well its been a long time since I posted. A lot has happened since my last post. Tonight, we went to the Black Crowes....we left early. The Black Crowes were horrible. They are a great CD band but suck live....maybe I would've enjoyed it more if I snorted some coke or shot some heroin. They had 20 minutes of filler music that sounded like whales talking. They have enough music that they don't need any filler...maybe they needed to buy their singer time to have a blood transfusion...that skinny bastard. The only good thing that came out of this experience is that I saw the opener...Matt Mays. Never heard of the guy before but I like him. I bought his t-shirt and both his cd's when we left. So, 2 crack pipes down for the Black Crowes and 2 thumbs up for Matt Mays.
Friday, I had some of my tattoo lasered off...fucking hurt. I've never experienced so much pain in my life....could smell my skin burning. I won't get into it too much but I would caution anyone who gets a tattoo to find out what is used to thin the inks. Canadians use water...Americans use other shit that I was allergic to.
Last week, My dad retired. Good on ya dad. Enjoy it! He spent everyday golfing last week. He's living the dream...too bad you have to work until your old as fuck to be able to do what you want...I sort of hate that part about life.

Shit.
What happened to your tattoo? Did it just get infected and scar too much?
In the US, it's common practice to use a lightening solution in black ink when shading & I guess they just use water here!! THAT is what matt was allergic to so it's red in the areas with shading. Super duper strong cortisone cream didn't get rid of it quick enough so the dermatologist recommended he get it lasered. The solution was just too concentrated in his skin and if he kept putting cream on it, EVENTUALLY it would leave his system but that would take God knows how long...lasering it was just quicker.....more pain, but quicker. At least matt didn't have to get the WHOLE thing lasered off...the koi fish is really nicely done.
So a word of caution: when getting a tattoo, make sure they don't use that solution!!! $535 could go towards a very nice tattoo!!!
Love Matt Mays & El Torpedo!
damn, but my dream is to get tattooed by the miami ink guys. nah, i'm too much of a wimp for that.
matt mays is from the maritimes, if i'm correct. halifax seems to ring a bell. i keep wanting to check out his music, but haven't yet. good to hear good reviews.
my plan is to get tatted up by nunez at some point....or brass because i feel sorry for him because he's not as talented....i'd just let him write something on me because he's all graffiti. i called my Shambhala Tattoo, Tom, he's referred me to Ink Machine - Danny Gordey and a guy named Dave. They called me and offered to have a consultation...i was excited but then cancelled because i don't have the $$ right now for what i want to do, so the responsible thing is to wait.
