So i picked up my first acoustic guitar (a Hondo, bet you’ve never heard of it) about 4 years ago – I played it religiously for a long time after i got it – then things got in the way, and they do, over and over again. I have finally gotten back into it every night i play a while. I really need to get the theory behind music and the guitar better. And i really wish that i could learn to play some irish folk music before i go to ireland…but thats in a week and about 2 days, dont think it will happen but its on my list of things to do as well so one down, a bunch to go

How I did it: I started off with going on Drop Zone, at a local fair. It was a fight with a friend of mine to get me to do it. but i finally did. then, it was off to carrowinds. First roller coaster ever - Top Gun, the fastest most intense rollercoaster....at Caroowinds. I was shaking in the seat the whole time, but after it was over with - i rode every roller coaster in the park, and top gun like 15 times, once all the way to t… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I had a desire for this for several years. I had a few chances to go, but something always kept me from going, usually money, or time. Then i graduated college. Less money, more time...still really hard for me to make the jump even though one of my graduation gifts was the two way ticket to Ireland. Finally, Katherine "Katie" Clark pushed me to get my passport (never had one before). then, i got my plane tick… Read how I did it…
SO i kinda already did this, but im not satisfied.
I was at a jello shot party, that also had jello wrestling (and a balloon animal guy, but that doesnt have anything to do with it). It was okay, and i was having fun, then this girl, walks from inside the house, and i honestly just could not talk. i stood there for a long time, finally got back to my friends and talked with them (not about her) and i keep seeing her, but cannot talk with her.
Finally i notice she has gotten into the jello pool with about 6-7 other people, and it was getting a little rough. I noticed she was wearing ear rings, and walked over, as calmly as i could muster when i was extraordinarily nervous and asked if she would like me to hold on to them until she got out. She replied that they were clip ons, and thanked me, and i walked off. We kept catching each others glance, but nothing else was said after that moment. I had vowed to walk up to her and introduce myself if i ever saw her around my area again, and i thought i had – my friends forced me to talk to her, and it turned out to not be her, oh well…
now im just looking for the next person to make me speecheless
So I am planning on getting a tattoo in the three weeks i will be in ireland to commemorate my trip. I have so far found one design that i really like, and heard of one, that i cannot find.
The wheel of Taranis (pictured) is my first thought
At a party i mentioned this idea and two people there said i HAD to get the Hammer (or maybe it was Tooth) and Nail. I have looked all over the place for this design but i cant find it. If anybody has seen it or knows what it is and can get me a picture, that would be awesome seeing as how i havent seen those people in months and doubt i will before i leave.
Also any other Irish/celtic style tatoo (not the generic celtic knot design)ideas will be accepted.
As a note, the Wheel of Taranis i will probably just get outlined, and then get some of the color later on, i will be broke when i get back from the trip, by why go WAY overboard ya know….
