SATURDAY...ARMS and SHOULDERS

IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!

My birthday is coming up. This is the invitation. 

2010 CHEVROLET VOLT!

Chevrolet Volt, unlike the new gas-electric hybrids, will be powered entirely by an electric motor and have a battery that can be charged through an ordinary power socket. The Volt’s on-board engine will be used only to power the battery on longer trips. The gas electric hybrids, as you know, run on a system that twins battery power and a combustion engine.

1 year later...

A year ago today was the day I never thought I would ever experience. My whole life turned around and nothing really made any sense. My mom had stomach cancer for quite some time and passed away in her sleep. My sisters were in bed with her that night knowing she was not going to make it through the morning. I didn't want to experience such an event so I chose to sleep elsewhere. I was a total mama's boy. My father was around but not as much as I would have liked. He went on many business trips and my mother was always there for me when he was away. When the one person that cared for you the most is out of your life you forget and lose sight.  The person you turn to when you're having a shitty day or the best day you get this lost feeling and just start crying. I surrounded myself with amazing people that have really helped me deal, cope and have a positive outlook on life. My girlfriend is amazing and she makes me smile every time I see her! She's been so supportive and overall WONDERFUL! thank you and Aishiteru :)  here are some great pics of my mommy!

NEW SHEEP HEAD TATTOO WITH SUNFLOWER AND..."GOD RAYS"

My mom passed away 2.16.08 so in memory of her one year passing, I went to my buddy Mike at Spiral Tattoo to get a memorial tattoo for her. She loved sheep, sunflowers and strawberries. Apparently the strawberries kept looking like penis' so Mike added corona's or as Jared would say "god rays...from god's ray gun". I love the tattoo and my mommy!
