to tattoo or not to tattoo

As some of you know, I've wanted a tattoo for quite some time now. I made a rule (because I love rules!) when I was in college that if I were to get a tattoo, I had to draw it out and keep it for a year before I could get it. So almost 2 years ago in India, I drew out a design that I have sat on now for quite some time. I don't have the details down yet, but I think my time is getting close. I think I might make my tattoo my graduation gift. But I'm not sure yet.
Anyways, here is a fun blog about tattoos:

and another blog about a guys tattoo and the decision behind the design (very cool!)

Some time soon I will post more about what I am looking at for my tattoo.

Let's see, I think it took me about a year to decide what to get for myself personally. My tattoo on my back says "Always Follow Your Heart, and you will have beautiful love". It's a true story of my life, for the day I met Cory. I was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Both of us were out of our home element. I followed my heart that night, and here we are two years later! :-)

a good sign

I live near a long thin park called Parque Forestal. It's really quite a nice park and it has a long stretch of a lane for riding bikes or jogging. And since I have a fear of riding bikes in this city, I jog. It's really pleasent. I usually listen to radioDisney on my mp3 player and jog along to Jonas Brothers, Beyonce, or Julieta Venegas. Great stuff. Yesterday on my jog I noticed that the trees were beginning to change. Fall has finally arrived and I am glad for the change. But as I was jogging through the falling leaves, I began to think about how much I like fall. And I had this special moment when I realized that I want to be here in Santiago, jogging through this park for many falls to come. After the past few weeks of cultural adjustment being a little more painful than normal, this was a nice thought to have.

la musica de chile

For a moment I would liek to ponder the music of Chile. You see, I listen to just about everything (except non-live jazz). Even country, although in this category I limit myself to Dixie Chicks and The Judds (only the old stuff). Here in Chile there is really only a few types of music. One, the corny romantic music that belongs on programs like "Delilah at night". Being the hopeless romantic that I am, I love this type of music. Another type of music is Reggaton (not sure about the spelling, but do I ever spell words correctly?). This is Latin America´s response to Hip Hop. Very good for dancing. I also love the fact that most Reggaton is in Spanglish, my favorite language. There is this other type of music that I like to call the "Corny Electric Piano Musica". Too corny for me and I can only take so much electric piano in one song. I am amazed at how much Englsih music is played here. And people sing to it. they actually know the words, but they have no clue what t

murderous thoughts for cats

I got home from work today, exhausted, only to face the horrible whining of the neighborhood cats outside my window. They used to be really loud, and then in the cold of the winter they disappeared. But now they seem to have returned in full force. I sure hope I can sleep tonight!
