i am back from my vacation from work/tattooing. i hooked up with my best old friend Dave and we took off to Wisconsin to take in the scenery and visit my mother and brother. then back to Minneapolis where we did a little tattooing and then up north to thief river falls where i spent the better part of my pre-adult life and then left as soon as i graduated high school.
its funny because i usually feel very anxious to come back to Minneapolis when i am there and i usually just chill with my family the whole time. but this time was different, i went to a friends wedding and got a chance to be with all my close old friends all at once for the fist time in a very long time. a couple years at least. i got to hang out in the country and watch the fireflies. it felt good. it was the first time that i didn't want to leave when i had to leave. that was a strange feeling.
i had a chance to reflect on my life and my ambitions and frankly it scared the shit out of me. it was the first break from my 70hour/week schedule that i had in a few months and the first chance i had to look at it from the outside. i realized again just how much of a struggle it will be to continue to put off all the things in life i want to do until i get settled in to a new career hopefully as a full time tattooer. i miss my family and friends a lot. i miss the complete darkness at night and i miss the silence.
