The most important thing in my life for a while now has been my boyfriend. I moved in with him last Christmas and I'm super comfortable. Like all relationships, we have our disagreements, but we always talk it out. That's more than what I can say about my past relationships... I'm actually not blaming my exes, I was never one to be open with everything I felt or was thinking.

For my birthday, my boyfriend surprised me with tickets to Metallica and Avenged Sevenfold in Phoenix, AZ. The concert was wild and I had a great time! It was a fantastic weekend away from the usual routine.

This post isn't really about anything. I turned 30. I saw Metallica with the one I love.
It was fucking awesome.
The end.

First off, welcome to 2017. You've made it this far, and I'm really proud of you! I'm actually kind of surprised I made it here too... Anyway, my year has already started off pretty great. 2017 has already had its downer moments, but I'm staying optimistic. The first minute of New Year's Day started in the arms of my love.

Amongst some pretty great gifts, I never in my life think I would acquire an axe such as this. This is the Angus Young edition Gibson SG, and it's just about the most beautiful thing I own. My crazy amazing love surprised me with this guitar on Christmas morning. With a gift like this, I hope he knows I'm not going anywhere and that he's stuck with me forever. (I love you, babe!)

Among trying to find work and peddling my artsy wares, I've also picked up tattooing. So far it's been going well; I'm not awful at it so far, and I hope I only get better. Before that makes any money, though, I'll be working at Olive Garden to gain some kind of income.

Last night, I had the pleasure of watching Evanescence tribute band, Immortal, play at Speaking Rock Entertainment Center. For those who aren't from El Paso, this is one of the bigger venues to perform at and they're using the month of August to feature tribute bands, such as Immortal and Garden Grove (Sublime tribute band).

My other half was called to join Immortal as their new drummer. In 3 weeks, he learned the entire set and played it all amazingly last night. The crowd responded positively to every song and moreso when the drummer threw out drumsticks.

I'm proud of you, love. Keep on rockin'. I'll always support you.
