I was so bored yesterday.

Full of energy, not in a bad
mood, but so bored. Emotions were
pretty calm. I felt bad to be so
not motivated to do anything.
I watched anime for the whole
evening. 

With too much energy, I couldn't
fall asleep right away. Better
than being depressed? Better
than crying myself to sleep?

That's what I concluded.

I installed a pull up bar in the
kitchen after reading about a
friend who did 100 pull ups in a
day. Now I have my skipping rope,
pull up bar, 5lbs weight for
shadow boxing, installed an
interval timer on my phone, I can
turn that boredom into some
productive waste of time at
least.

I started with dead hang, but the
bar is low, I have to curl my
legs which activate my abs. Seems
like a fairly complete
strengthening practice. My grip
is really weak, I read that's the
first thing that you have to
develop.

I don't know if it's a youtube
effect, but all the practice I'm
doing right now seems to be the
best thing you can do for your
life. Boxing: the best training
ever! Skipping: the best thing
you can do for your whole body!
Dead hangs: the one practice that
will change your life! Horse
stance: the forgotten exercise
that will transform you forever!

At least it has a positive
reinforcement effect, I feel good
about my choices of practices.
Only the shadow boxing with
weight, there seems to be a
debate about if it's good or not.

I submitted my first homework for
my tattoo certificate. Waiting
for the feedback, it's nice to
get back in the swing of thing.
I try to draw or tattoo
regularly, which brings back from
of the pattern I used to draw a
lot. Flowers being one of them. 

I got more equipment in the last
couple month and my setup seems
pretty pro now. I have a new
portable light, a black light for
fluorescent tattoo, power
adapter, lots of ink, the decal
printer...

But I lost the person I could
practice on. I am not sure I'll
find someone else willing to
receive tattoos. I guess I'll
have to become good on my own,
and then people will want
to be tattooed by me? I wish I
had someone who'd willingly want
me to practice on them.

I find it quite poetic to draw on
someone like that. Sensual and
intimate, I don't know if I'll
have tattoo girlfriends. Women
that just want to be with me to
be tattooed. It's a strange thing
to get into tattoo at my age. At
the same time, I'm happy to not
just write stupid stuff all over
my body, taking my time so it
looks good on the long run.
