Just Friends

I am hoping to get my next tattoo in a week. I still need to pick a place in NYC to get it done. Its very small and simple though so I am not too concerned about who does it.
I will be getting the word ‘fate’ on the inside of my left wrist.

This is absolutely unoriginal as I have seen many a fate tattoo, but I don’t really give a fuck as I have wanted it for a long time now. I have several meanings behind it: This is a friendship, fan tattoo with a strong personal connection. Everyone already knows my favorite band is the Veronicas. I like to think they played a critical part in how I grew up in my adolescent years and I love them so so so so much. Lisa and Jess both got tattoos on their wrists when they were about 18 or 19. Jess (and her ex boyfriend) both got the word ‘Love’ and Lisa got the word ‘Fate’. A couple years ago, my wife, Riley, got Jess’s Love on her wrist. Shortly thereafter, I won a contest to go see the girls live in NYC, and Jess caught site of Riley’s wrist and came over to us afterward’s and said it was really cool. Awwwww <3 Ive been waiting to get Fate for a while now. Those are my girls for life.
Personally, I like the concept of fate playing out. I am such a control freak most of the time and its kind of comforting to know that if its meant to be, then it will be. I primarily associate the word fate with love (for aforementioned reasons), but it certainly has been applicable to other agonies. In the end, everything will work itself out for the better.
Libra and Aries….
If I was your girlfriend
I’ll be there for you, if somebody hurts you
Even if that sombody’s me
Yeah-hee (break it down for ‘em)
Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be
And so I put this on my life
Nobody or nothing will ever come between us
And I promise I’ll give my life
my love and my trust if you was my boyfriend
Put this on my life
The air that I breathe in, all that I believe in
I promise I’ll give my life
my love and my trust if you was my boyfriend
I start my new job on Monday and I am beyond ready to get to work. My brain feels mushy, like I haven’t had to use it in a while. I’m not even nervous at all. Must stop at the bank and pick up a direct deposit slip. Lets get that $$ rolling. I am so thankful this is happening: health insurance, gym membership discount, a salary, paid vacation days what? Today might be my last shift at my retail job… its still unclear whether or not I can stay on and work weekends.
I finally got a job offer. I think I am going to start crying I am so happy.
