Update 11/3/13

It's my day off and today is a cold gloomy day. I did get some cleaning done though and took Roo for a walk. I need a bigger jacket :( so many things have changed in my life. I sometimes feel like I'm in a movie theatre watching events unfold in my life. This year was a year of growing and figuring out what I wanted to truly do with my life and how I'm going to get there. I will never quit tattooing. I love this life I have made for myself, I plan on doing bigger and better things in the next years of my life so one day I can look back and be proud at who I've become and the struggles I have survived through. I'm able to do what I want and better my skill with every tattoo now, I have my line work down so now I can concentrate more on filling and finishing solid tattoos. I do need to get my own machines because I've been barrowing my best friends extra machines since mine took a shit one day :( I'm working hard everyday but I will admit I could work harder. I've been working on drawing 5 custom pieces in 3 days, I have big weeks ahead of me. I don't think this will ever be read by anyone else besides me, but if you happen to have read my blog and are reading this now you can follow me on Instagram @gabesmithtattoos

Well I spoke to soon ha ha

So me and J split up... Think I might have jinxed it or it just wasn't meant to be. Either way I'm proud to say that my life is headed in a better direction. For me my life has just barely begun and there is more to see before the day I die. 

Hmm..... It's been a while since I've posted anything

I'm proud to say that I have been building a very good portfolio for myself and I have been in a very good relationship for almost 8 months now. I'm very much in love with him, lets call him "J". Going to the body art expo in Houston next month and then a 4 day vacation with my babe for his bday. Life is good:) 

Life is good

Can't complain to much about my life at the moment , I have been going to the doctor for a bad stomach problem but other than that life is good. I have a bf that actually is working out, hope writing a out it isn't going to jinx it. I decided to mix it up a bit and go for a slightly younger guy this time and it's working out so far. The passion is there and also the connection, work is also very good. I'm glad I can afford to pay all my bills with no insurance. Been going to midland to visit the family more, like I said before my life is good right now. I'm working on making it even better, this year is my year to really step it up.

Been sick

Been sick but I'm slowly coming back to life :) so I started dating a guy and things were looking up when just my luck they took a turn for the worst like always ha ha. I should have not let my guard down so easily, I just see that me and him are on very different levels. I give 110% and he gave me 10%. I'm not mad just not happy at the possible outcome of this relationship. I knew there was a risk getting involved with another guy, there is always a risk right? If it ends then so be it, just life's way of letting me know I can't find love in the shit hole of a town. Good thing I didn't fall in love.

Tired of carrying everyone on my back

I have to take responsibility for a lot of stuff I don't even need to but I do because nobody else is stepping up to do them. I'm tired and close to just saying "fuck it do it yourself". I don't say much, I'm more of an observer. I've seen some pretty bad choice coming from some of the people around me and I want to say something but at the same time I don't feel like I have the right to say something. The way I see it is that of you don't care enough to help yourself I shouldn't go out of my way to help you out, if I see that you want change I don't mind helping out. I have major bills that I need to pay and so I work hard and make the money and save, others have even greater responsibility on their hands and don't save or plan anything. I have a lot of love in my heart but little compassion for those who expect others to pick up their slack.

Sold for $900 to the man with a creepy wife

Finally sold my crap mobile also known as my explorer. Gonna have to wait till Monday probably to get a newer car, I don't know if I should go to a dealership or buy off Craigslist again. I saw a nice dodge stealth for sale and I think it my be my brothers old stealth he sold a few years ago. It would be great to have it back in the family but All Mine he he I've always loved his stealth
