irezumi Posted January 22, 2014 Author Share Posted January 22, 2014 Oh wow that's cool, I love the horses. Yeah it's annual; the month of December and through a little of January. This year it came down on the 9th and the deVita show was on the 10th. I didn't do both of the same visit but it would've worked our perfect if I had. Not sure if the dates are the same next year but you might luck out. - - - Updated - - - The first paragraph here has a link to a neat video of the making of the buildings and landmarks http://www.nybg.org/home-holiday-train-show.php Dbeatdano 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/2521-post-awesome-things-you-have-been-doing-recently/?page=33#findComment-83928 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 I saw these donkeys on the way home from work the other day,seems like kind of crappy dry place to have to live IMO,not sure how well they are fed & watered,so we bought some fresh carrots,cabbage,& apples and brought that and some water down this morning and fed them the treats,as soon as we pulled over on the other side of the street they started walking over to us,so it appears we are not the only ones who do this ! LOL very cute & very friendly.I will keep carrots with me from now on and do this again for sure. . . . . . . . this is my favorite pic Graeme, daveborjes, irezumi and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/2521-post-awesome-things-you-have-been-doing-recently/?page=33#findComment-84126 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fala Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I got all of my work (and a very lengthy final exam) turned in for my herbal program as of Monday. So... I'm done!

Gloomy Inks Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I'm so darned pedantic. I'm working on three books at once, as it's the only way I can make sure it all fits together in my tiny little bean. The first is a tale of tattooing, murder, revenge, redemption, and loss, set in the month before WW2... As to the rest... you'll have to wait, but I'll tell you this, all the tattoo men and women are based in fact. I say based because I don't want to offend...

Scary, it's been a loooooong time since I've been in school. Good for you! Great idea. I went back to school at 30 and it was the right choice. And now that I teach, I find mature students an absolute pleasure.

iowagirl Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Thanks! I'm going to be almost 40 when I go back! That seems so crazy, to be a...what..44 year old new teacher? I'm assuming it's a 4 year degree. Oof da. I read in Dear Abby years ago, a woman wanted to go back to school to be a Dr. and was upset that by the time she'd be done w/her 8 years of school , she'd be 50 (or whatever), and the reply was "Wouldn't you be 50 anyway?" I'm trying to keep that in mind, haha!

I won't be finished my degree for another year and I'll be 44. There are still jobs and to be honest, its the journey that has been so great. Anyway, that's been my experience.

MadeIndelible Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I just got my haircut by my little sister, who is just about to graduate from cosmetology school. While her bad decisions in tattoo taste are, well, bad, she gives a decent haircut. I guess that's pretty cool. Also, I went to a Pallbearer show for metal homework. irezumi, JAllen, daveborjes and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/2521-post-awesome-things-you-have-been-doing-recently/?page=33#findComment-86196 Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they played An Offering of Grief, I was floored. The energy in the room was intense. Looking to go to any other doom shows that I can.

cltattooing Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I'm always bummed out when there are actually good shows at Eli's cause I never want to hang out after I'm off work. Like I might as well just put a sleeping bag in the shop.

littlecreatures Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Man, this is one of the raddest threads I've stumbled across on here, so much inspiration! I'm re-enrolled in college and I'm totally nervous. I have been interviewing a few local tattoo artists for some research I am doing for a children's book, which has been really fun and interesting. I am also recently stepping back in to the dating world... totally like riding a bike, including the falling down and getting back up again. What else? I quit drinking 4 months ago to see how my life would change, so far it's been pretty good. Definitely more productive! It can also be a little challenging to find new ways to be social. I am excited to make new friendships and explore my beloved city outside of a bar... haha.

MadeIndelible Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 @littlecreatures The human body can do some amazing things when it isn't taking in poisons like alcohol. Try running, maybe? It's helped me a lot in the past, and I find that I can return to it with new eyes each time, and each time it gets a little easier to start, and a little easier to get better. Now, if I could only find a way to keep running...

OutOfIdeas Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Realized I was unhappy, so I picked up a second job to save money for a few months. Then I picked up my life and moved 1200 miles, to a place much more suited to my lifestyle. Have an interview for a job that I would love, and would most likely become a career, on monday. The apartment search is going slowly, but I think I found a few good options finally, I'll find out monday. Overall, im pretty sure this new chapter of my life is gonna be a fun adventure!

ChrisvK Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 turned 21 today, i can now legally order beer almost everywhere I might end up. Hurray :D and more awesomeness: Next month my girlfriend and I will leave Vienna, Austria to go back to the thing we love most: Traveling! First we will spend about 6 months in Sweden, where we will get drunk with @Johannes and any other LST'ers that feel like partying up north and after that help on a vollunteer project. If anyone wants to read more about our hitchhiking shenanigans click on the blog in my signature so I don't spam this whole thread full again like a year (wow times goes by faaast) ago!

OutOfIdeas Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 I got the job I was hoping for! Wont make very much hourly for the first three months, but after that I should make good money. And the company offers an awesome profit based bonus system, which will most likely lead to my car being paid off quickly, a Triumph motorcycle, and some rad tattoos. Not necessarily in that order. I may be thinking a bit far ahead, but damn im happy now! cltattooing, Johannes, hogg and 7 others 10 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/2521-post-awesome-things-you-have-been-doing-recently/?page=33#findComment-86896 Share on other sites More sharing options...
