tattoos – Ok, But First Coffee!

So no headaches yet…and my neck and jaws were even tight earlier today and I still don’t have a headache or any symptoms, so that is AWESOMESAUCE! I hope this is a good sign!

I was wearing a wool sweater today because it was like icy out this morning…my car was frozen…but it got sunny and warmed up and i was sitting here at work roasting! I luckily had my zip up hoodie which is also lighter than the sweater and I can leave it partially unzipped so I can actually breathe because I do have a tank top on. And I propped the door open to let in some breezy air…it’s finally feeling better. I’m so looking forward to the warmer weather coming, but not for how warm it’s going to be here at work…because that sun come around to the front of the building and it heat up out here. I need to get the fan I had in here back out of the group room, because I may need it.

My black eye is much darker now, but it still doesn’t hurt, so that’s good…like I can feel that it’s bruised but, it’s not painful…

I just realized, I have not yet posted a pic of my new ink…OMG, seriously? Wtf? so yeah I got my 22nd tattoo…it’s another PJ tattoo…(OF COURSE!) And for those of you reading who don’t know much about me yet, PJ means Pearl Jam and they are my favorite band, since I was 12…and I’m stubborn as fuck about it…I will not even entertain the idea that there is any other band past or present that is better than them. This is a song title in Eddie Vedder’s handwriting…a song that I love…if you’ve never heard it, look it up!

I’ve had two cups of coffee today, too and it’s made a huge difference in helping me to stay feeling like I’m human…lol Ok, that’s it for today.

At work right now…It’s kinda quiet today though.

AFI’s album Sing the Sorrow turns 16 today. That album got me through a lot of shit. It’s one of my favorite albums of all time. I love AFI so much, one of my top 5 bands. I saw them in concert in August 2017. It was amazing, even got my daughter to fall in love with their music. My husband hated it…but I think even worse than the music was the atmosphere for him…but he doesn’t like that style of music either, and the two opening bands were terrible.

So I mentioned yesterday also, that I saw Lucero in November, they are definitely now one of my top 5 bands as well. Like they kinda already were before I saw them live, and then that cemented it. Even though I saw them at Dante’s which is a terrible venue with lousy acoustics…the show was still FUCKING AMAZING!!! I missed buying my ticket when they were on sale, but luckily I found someone who had an extra ticket they needed to sell. I didn’t take a bunch of pics, I just took one, and enjoyed the music.

I really would love to see them again. I hope they are back in PDX soon. Shortly after this concert they got some National recognition when they performed and interviewed on GMA, I think was the show. And I think that is pretty badass, but at the same time, I was thinking oh damn, now they’re gonna get super famous and they’ll play bigger venues and ticket prices will go up and tons of other people will want to go see them so it will be harder to get tickets…haha I might have been thinking a little selfishly…but I just love them so much! ❤

I first discovered Lucero because I was listening to a station on iheartradio based off of Christian Kane, and a song called “Last Pale Light in the West” came on, it is by Ben Nichols, the front man for Lucero, on his solo album. I fell in love with that song, and found the album to listen to, then late found he front Lucero and I fell in love with that as well. My favorite of their albums is Tennessee, but they are ALL amazing! And that song, plus one other by Ben have been featured on one of my favorite TV shows, The Walking Dead!!! ❤

This past weekend there was a PJ tribute band show in PDX, also included Nirvana and Mother Love Bone tributes, I wanted to go so bad, but didn’t get to. It was called Flannel Fest, hopefully they’ll come back here again…maybe next year.

I am getting a new Pearl Jam tattoo soon, in the next couple of weeks. “Given to fly…” in Eddie’s handwriting from his lyrics journal. It’s going to go along my right collar bone opposite my humming bird. I really can’t wait til I can start the Eddie Vedder portrait tattoo. That one will be gorgeous! ❤
