Well I found out an old friend got married in January
and then was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour (at 27) so I'm kinda realising all my whiny shit about working too much was, in the scheme of things, totally fucking pointless. In fact most of the shit people bitch about on here is totally fucking pointless because none of them are dying

Instead I'm thinking, all in all, life is pretty good and I should start making the most of the time I do have. Maybe I'll try learning a new language

:S that's fairly grim
learning a new language isn't the best use of time though surely?

It's a useful skill and means I can run away to forrin lands and blend in after I rob a bank next weekend.

Welsh isn't a real language

Oh god that's horrible
I'm really sorry to hear that. I wish it didn't take shit things to make us count our blessings; I know I'm particularly guilty of bitching about pointless and inconsequential things on here.
Seize the day, TGB.

Yeah I was feeling shit about my birthday (another year, zero achievments)
but fuck man I'm just happy I'm hitting 26 in (relatively) good health. It's somewhat of a medical mystery how...

I know how you feel
why not promise yourself that by the time you hit 27 you'll have done something you'd particularly like to do? :)

Because I need a lot of money to do that :p
However I think I'll finally get the new tattoo I've been thinking about

What's it of?
And I might sound like a twat, but yeah good health is something to value. Not enough to stop me drinking mind

Haha, you don't have any cheap ambitions?
Surely working eleventy hundred hours a week is good for something?! New tattoo sounds good though, what are you planning to get?

I get paid shit
And I need to finalise it but I want to expand my impossible triangle, maybe all round my wrist just trying to find some decent geometric stuff I like. I've always liked Mayan/Aztec stuff but labs will probably accuse me of wanting to be like him

I'm sure London is chock-full of decent tattooists
but this guy does some pretty good geometric stuff: www.modernbodyart.co.uk/Andy%20galleries/Andy%20gallery/andy%20gallery.html

(I want a tattoo from him but I'm too chickenshit to get one)

I love dotwork stuff

Ditto
there was mention of me dragging Labs to the London tattoo convention in September, if you fancy that/haven't had something done by then?

oooh tomas tomas is apparently in London
I'd probably still like to look at hot girls with tattoos and be jealous

I believe he is v pricey though. But does very pretty tattoos...
