My teacher Robbie took me aside and talked to me today. He told me that I was doing an excellent job around the shop and catching on to technique extremely fast, and if I could get several more tattoos in soon and keep up the pace that I've set, he would file the paper work to the State Department of Cosmetology and get me my Tattoo License at the beginning of next month.
Hell Ya! I have been working so hard lately "though it's been fun" it is paying off sooner than I expected. I am so thankful Robbie has taken me under his wing when hundreds of others turned me down.
If I play my cards right I'll never have to work a day in my life, because tattooing and painting is always fun 24/7

This week I was promoted up to tattooing people, and now I have my own booth at the shop. Here are the first couple of tattoos I've done at the shop.

I had no plans for Halloween, so I thought I'd check out this spook house that the news was raving about and then hit the bar. Being that it is the holiday I decorated my face and adorned my top hat. I got to the spook house "which was an old abandoned 10 story building in the city bottoms" and paid $20 for a ticket at the entrance. After waiting in line to enter I was stopped by security and was told that I could not be allowed in......because I was dressed up and I could be suspected to act as one of the crew and start attacking people for the shier pleasure of hurting them......"pretty dumb eh?" Though security said they could let me in if I agreed to be accompanied by a police officer....."Hell no I want my $20 dollars back I'll leave!", in which they replied that they do not do refunds....."I haven't even got to step one foot inside, You're going to charge me $20 for waiting in line! why did you sell me the damn ticket in the first place!". The supervisor got involved in the argument, and I finally convinced him to let me leave with my money. Upon walking out I had to weave my way through a whole crowd of people who outside were yelling at me, saying "get out of here" "I don't want to be in there with you" "you are not gonna get in here and hurt us" "that's a really scary man" etc.
I have a thick skin, and I have been mobbed by large crowds plenty times before, and what they say never makes me feel any lesser of a person........What the hell drives people to be so dumb?

This morning I had my eye surgery, thankfully everything went very well, the procedure was quick and non-invasive. Though it was very nerve racking.
I was given some velum before the operation, then after that kicked in I was called into the operating room. I laid down on this reclined chair that remotely moved under the large laser machine. The arm of the machine casted a bright halo of light on my face, then Dr. Ellis numbed my eyes and inserted a brace in my eye socket to keep my eye stable. Then pressed this vacuum cup on top of my eye, which put tremendous pressure on me, then he made a small insision on the thin membrain of skin on my eye and pulled it back to expose my cornea. I was very odd watching a layer of your eye being pulled back. Then I was too stare at this orange blinking light as rapid snapping lasers went to work for 15 seconds then it was onto the other eye. Immediately I was able to see, though fairly blurry around the edges. All and all the operation was not painful.
My mom came up from Wichita KS to drive me home and help me around the house. Cause as soon as the pain killers wore off, my eyes burned like never before. I was given spacial dark glasses though they were not enough to blot the painful light. So I tide my bandana over them in attempt to keep pressure off them. Amazingly the brutal pain subsided after 5 hours and I almost have 20/20 vision. In a week my corneas will heal and I will have better than 20/20 vision.
After 10 years I can finally see with my own eyes, 5 of those last days I could barely see at all. I am so happy to have my vision better than it has ever been before.
Mood: thankfull
