The fact that there will be a Part II should indicate where this is going. I have wanted a tattoo for a very long time. This was not a rash decision, like so many usually are, but do not think for a minute that things ended well. Uh-huh. There is a reason that the name of this blog is "I couldn't make this shit up." My tattoo was a quote from The Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri. See if you can spot the 2 differences between the actual quote and what is permanently etched into my arm-
Original- Fatti non foste a viver come bruti, ma per seguir virtute e canoscenza
Tattoo- Fatti non foste come bruti, ma per seguir virtute e canoscanza
Yeah.............Luckily these things are somewhat easy to fix....or at least that is what I am going to tell myself. Of course it would not be perfect the first time.....it's only a tattoo.........FML. I can get it fixed up in 4 weeks after the original tattoo heals.....great.....On the bright side, I may have a dog walking job with PUPPIES!!!!!

First Blog
I bought a plane ticket today. Not to Italy or Greece or any of the amazing places I always told myself that I would one day escape to. No, against every ironic fiber in my body I was going back. I had lasted all of 2 months in Washington DC, the place that was supposed to change my life. Now, I am heading back north to Melrose Mass, with my tail between my legs. Sure, it will be great to see my friends and catch up after so long. But is it worth it to have to endure the family dinner, complete with a steaming dish of disappointment sitting next to cold and lumpy potatoes? Maybe not. No one ever tells you what happens when your gut feeling is wrong. When what you had convinced everyone around you, along with yourself, that this is exactly what you wanted turns out to be everything you never needed. There is no point in beating myself up about it now. From this point on I just have to face forward and go back.
