So my lil bro, Michael flew in to visit my sis and I the other day. I had one day off from tattooing and filming so we all agreed we should spend an entire day, just the 3 of us… just the family.
Goin’ to Six Flags Magic Mountain sounded like so much fun! We all hadn’t been there in soooo long and really wanted to ride GOLIATH! So we drove our asses over there, parked our car, and decided in order for us not to have to lug all of our stuff around the park – we could put all our belonging in one place – Karoline (my sis’) purse. I gave her my wallet, my money, sunglasses, camera, all of our fast passes, and tickets, and so did my brother…
First stop: GOLIATH. Man were we stoked – waited in line to be seated in the front of the ride and everything! Karoline put the purse in one of those cubbies that everyone puts there belongings in while your riding the ride… and we were off!!!
You can imagine how bummed we all were when the ride was done and we pulled up to an empty cubby – SOMEONE TOTALLY JACKED OUR PURSE!
Karoline went ballistic! Started yelling and balling – it was so bad that I didn’t think it would be smart to stay in the park long enough to go to guest relations and report it – the ride is less then 2.2 minutes long and in that time someone made the conscious decision to steal someone else’s property.. and our shit was GONE.
It completely ruined our attempt at having “the perfect family day”, and we rushed off to retrieve our car … defeated.
Drove back home and tried our hardest to stay positive…but before our night ended – we got the most surprising phone call –
The police department at Magic Mountain were on the line – not only had they found our belongings (which by the way had been dispersed in trash cans through out the park) – but CAUGHT THE THEIF!!
Out of 12,000 people they were able to dwindle down the suspects to 30, and from then on found the person responsible for stealing our stuff! She was only 15 years old.
Although my siblings and I were stoked on retrieving our personal belongings – we all agreed on our drive back that positive energy promotes more positive energy –
That day started out amazing, turned shitty in 5 minutes, and still managed to have a good time, and actually became way closer to each other…
Without sounding too cheesy… We also agreed that, the girl who stole the purse that day should be held accountable for her decision…
The feeling of being completely violated doesn’t even come close to how shitty the situation would REALLY be, lets say, if my sis was diabetic and we needed the insulin that we put in the purse.. … I mean, people just don’t stop and think sometimes, how much you can REALLY effect others – and in a bad way… truly selfish!
Regardless…we truly hope this situation will help her in the long run… Its a shame that sometimes people have to go through shitty times in order to learn things…
For us, we learned not to put so much value into materialistic things… and that there ARE good people out there who actually care and try their hardest to help others expecting nothing in return… and no matter what… family is everything.
Man!
I have been meaning to write some blogs for you guys lately and fill you in on all of the “adventures” I’ve been getting into – but its been way more hectic than I expected – so I’m gonna try and sum it all up in the next few paragraphs for you!
To start, Nikki is such a rad boyfriend, this last month, he surprised me with an AMAZING camera to shoot photos! We’ve both gotten really into taking photos – although I am in no way close to being a “pro – photographer” in any way – taking pictures has been an amazing outlet for me – especially portraits of my dear friends and family… Here’s one of my fave photos I have taken so far…
Then – there’s filming LA Ink.
I forgot how time consuming and draining filming can get! But all very much worth it – we have been filming some of what I believe to be the BEST footage yet! I cant wait for you guys to see some of these rad tattoos on the new season!
CRUE FEST –
Trying to find time between my busy filming, and tattooing schedule to meet up with Nikki on his tour with Crue Fest has been the biggest challenge…. Flying back and forth a whole lot – starting to kick my ass a little…
But for those of you that have gone to any of the shows – you know how amazing they are – so I’m definitely having a good time!
CANADA –
Just got back from Toronto, Canada, and was able to meet a bunch of you guys there during my meet n’ greet at Sephora – it was nuts!
I’m about to launch a bunch of new additions to my makeup line, including lip glosses, duo eyeshadows, lipsticks, (all of which include glitter glitter and more glitter!) and maybe a TATTOO CONCEALER as well!!
But I gotta tell ya, Canada definitely has a place in my heart – never failed to have a blast when I’m visiting!
On this trip I was able to discover one of my new FAVE bands which happened to play the last night I was staying there – they’re called SKULL FIST. I was so impressed by the drummer who happens to be a girl, and barely 18 years old! Way to kick major ass!
I wanna have them come on my Musink American Tour in February so bad – but not sure if they’ll be down.. so until then, I’ll just remain a big fan! Check out this short video I shot of them playing at Rock N Roll Heaven! (not the best sound, but man do they rule!)
I’ve been tattooing my ass off, and drawing a whole lot more… falling in love again with pencil drawing… finishing up all final touches on my book, spending time with my family… reading as well – especially anything having to do with THE FOUR AGREEMENTS – that book has changed my life – seriously.
Aside from all that noise… I signed up to start taking Kung Fu lessons! Rad, right?!
ANYHOW – there you have it… in a nutshell!
Thanks for listening…
XOXO,

So, I read other peoples blogs and I think it’s cool to see what other people are up to and what they are thinking about! I can’t help but wonder of what interest what I have to say and what I am thinking about could possibly be to anyone! Most of what I think, what I really think might not be fit to for public consumption and would require way too much explaining! So I am left with wondering if I should say anything at all or is there anything that I need to say? I have realized that no, there is nothing that I feel that I need to say and yet lots that needs saying! So I am not even going to get started, though I feel that I am somehow lacking if I don’t put this space to use! Someone leave me a comment, lets start a dialog.
