Its kinda funny that most ppl say they aren't morning ppl, or don't like mornings, but yet the human brain's serotonin levels are at its highest in the morning. Lan told me that smoking cigarettes makes your
penis shrink. Last night i was tattooing him and he put on the song "everybody hurts" by r.e.m. "do you hurt?" i said. "yea" he
said. I kept asking him why, he wouldn't give me an answer. Everybody wants to listen to that song lately. Denise does too. I cut
molly's hair the other day. When lan told me he hurts it made me want to hug and kiss him and make him feel better.
earlier that day he had texted me saying he really wanted the tat we planned on but he didn't have all the money right now. "i'll tattoo you for free if i don't get any jobs in the next month," i said. then later that night he called me
and said he could pay me in payments and could i come tattoo him tonight? And he'll pay me a payment next week. I said ok. It was
my first time tattooing a whole bunch of little tiny fancy letters (he got "an irish blessing"). It may have also been my first
time tattooing in flip-flops. Two days ago, tattooing mick, was my first time tattooing over another older tattoo.
a thought occurs to me now and then: in spite of whatever differences i may have had with shy, in spite of how much of an asshole
he may have been to me, when i forget about all that for a second i'm just really grateful that i met him and that i was his
apprentice and that he taught me so much.
