The one where: I think about getting a tattoo

Is a tattoo a bad idea?

So, I've been so busy with work, sorry. Although I'm 100% convinced no one reads this blog, I still want to make time to edit and have fun with it. Like I've said in the past, I want this to be something for me to look back on and remember the good(and bad) times I've had in my life.

Recently, I've been thinking, why not get a tattoo? What do I have to lose? I haven't really thought that much into it. I mean, I'm not doing an entire blog post on it or anything...I would like to get something that meant something to me but at the same time, was silly. So silly that when I look back in five - ten years time, I look at it and think "wow remember how crazy I was trying to be back when I was 19 and attempting to live a care-free life!?".

Tattoos are a topic that often pull up a lot of arguments. Are they attractive? Are they a masculine thing? What will you look like when you're a 75 year old woman(or man) with all these tattoos? I say, you will look like an woman who has actually lived her life! Don't get me wrong, if I saw an older woman with 'love' printed on her knuckles and 'Billy' tattooed to the side of her arm, I'd instantly think 'wow...it's not every day you see something like that'. It's natural to instantly relate tattoos to these huge men with even bigger egos, but tattoos are becoming more and more popular as time goes on.

From A-list celebrities to unknown wanna-bees, people everywhere are jumping on the 'get-a-tattoo' bandwagon and they're heading for the hills! Take a look here at Harry Styles' tattoos. Now, I'm clearly not the best person to be slagging off his tattoos (how I would kill anyone that said a bad word about him) but, did someone let a 3 year old lose on his arm?! Yes, tattoos are a way of showing how you feel without actually showing how you feel (weird, I know) but, c'mon Harry...random squiggly writing above a heart on your left arm, is this really what we are coming to?

It's not only Harry that seems to have lost a train of thought whilst at the tattoo parlour. Miley Cyrus' newest edition to her tattoo family is this beauty. Three questions to ask with this one. 1. Why does it look like she has just drew this on with a biro pen? 2. Is that supposed to be a dog or a cat and 3. Just why Miley, why? Maybe with a little help from her 'fwends' she can learn how to spell, hey?

The word tattoo comes from two major derivations - the Polynesian word 'ta', which means 'striking something' and the Tahitian word 'tatau' which means 'to mark something'. Simple, right? Wrong! These things are staying on our bodies for the rest of our lives, unless we pay even more that the actual tattoo to get them taken off.

Think before you ink. 

Until next time,

 

The one where: I did the same as last time

Do I need to update more?

Okay, its April...it's been about two months since I last posted on this and I clearly didn't stick to my promise. 

I never really know what to say on this to be honest with you all. When I made this blog, I thought 'Oh yeah, my life is some-what fun, I could sooo run a blog based on it'...wrong! 

Today my day has consisted of College, like every day! Although College may seem just like a steeping stone from High School to University to some, trust me it is hard! One of my biggest pet-hates is that people don't realise how much work I actually have to do. Working 6-7 hours a day, having coursework deadlines for each subject (normally all on the same day also) and then finding the time to revise these subjects is something I have almost learnt to deal with. If all of this wasn't bad enough anyway, I then have work...like real 'I get paid for doing this' work. It's hard to do all of this, s'all I'm saying.

Posting an update on my current situation with University, I don't think I want to go...not just yet anyway. I spoke to my form teacher who is supposed to be there for guidance and she told me I'm making a huge mistake. Is it really that bad that I feel I need at least one year out of education in order to breathe? When I spoke to her (which was about one month ago), she said she would speak to me in more detail the week after and we would discuss it properly...I'm still waiting. Yeah I get it, a decision like this is something I need to learn to make on my own but when I have people saying how much of a mistake I'm making by not going, then others saying how much of a mistake I'll make if I go, it's hard for me to come to a definite decision on what do/who to please. 

If I take one year out, what will I do? I don't want to spend the rest of my life wasting time on what my future is going to consist of. If I go to University, what if I don't like the course I am on? I don't want to have to pay the stupidly ridiculous amount of £9000 just to study something for three months..? There are definitely more pros than cons to me not going to University. 

I suppose I just made a decision...

Right, I'm going to try and work out how to post my stories on here. If by the time you're reading this and it's like three months into the future and there are still no stories, you know I'm still trying to work out how to do it and make it look some-what presentable.
Thanks for reading, guys.
