Very few people on this planet will ever be lucky enough to come across a person in their life that can truly be their “rock”.

Sure, Ive been lucky enough to collect a handful of people i consider to be my friend.  Ive been lucky enough to have the chance to experience true love, and have even been able to meet an enormous amount of folks in my short lifetime who have taught me things, shown support, and shown me how to love and be loved…

But ive rarely met those who I consider my rock.

 being a “rock” to someone is exactly that.  

An actual rock doesnt go anywhere, even when times get rough… 

A rock stays strong  regardless of how much its been rained on or whether beaten…

A rock doesn’t really change – aside from its surface evolving – its core always remains what its always been…

Much like all things derived from nature, rocks don’t criticize or judge you..

A rock is what it is – what you see is what you get - 

In fear of coming off like some wierd-o hippy-dippy, I’ll get to my point.

After tattooing non stop today at the shop (a very cool backpiece), I had to shoot a few scenes that had been scheduled  – some having to do with shit I may not necessarily be too stoked on…  

  And looking back at how events in my life have lead up to TODAY, it’s crazy to think… lots of friends have come and go, and pretty much aside from my sister, and two other people,  a certain face has never left my side. That’s Corey Miller.

Corey Miller has been a rock to me through hellishly thick and thin times.  He came to visit me back when I was filming out in Miami – i time that was by far one of the most challenging for me to say the least… and gave me some of the best advice on things in that moment of unclarity.

 Never expecting anything in return, he supported me not only by signing on to do LA Ink with me, but by blindly leading the way when I had no idea as to what was ahead..

  Filming is not difficult – it’s actually easy for me to share my life and my experiences with the people i work with and the clients I tattoo, but making decisions in a time of confusion, and in a time of feeling as lonely as I feel this year – and  my friendship with Corey has left me with nothing but a strong bond that is much bigger than any amount of money imaginable.  

I meant it when I said “Corey is my Rock” in the intro to the show…  Although i feel like we may be the last men standing at times, we are stronger than ever – and I cant wait for everyone to see how much Ive learned from him this season – especially in my tattooing…

Tonight, before i run off to meet with Mr. Sandman, I’ll thank G.O.D., Buddah, my lucky stars, or whatever higher powers may be, for the rocks in my life, and hope you guys are surrounding yourselves with them as well…

Sweetest Dreams,
