emporar scorpions

    so I bought another emperor scorpion but this time I did more research on their behavior. also i bought a baby scorpion this time and they are defiantly which are more aggressive due to their small size. i use to have three in one tank: a pregnant female an two others. it seems they are very solitary as adults because 3 scorpions soon be came only one alive in my tank. I didn't know that they are burrowing creatures and really like to be hidden a lot. watching him/her eat mealworms,crickets, or giant grasshoppers is awesome to me. I've own fish, dogs, cats, turtles, snakes, i think i like animals more than people some time.
I bought some plantation soil which you can add water to increase humidity which the scorpion seems to appreciate. hopefully i will keep this one alive for a long time, they can live up to 9 years

motorcycles......sexy death on two wheels

     motorcycles have been around for a long time and are consistently becoming faster, stronger, and lighter. just the word alone sends shivers down my spine in a passionate way. I've been riding motorcycles for about 10 years and have ridden 250cc-1300cc  bikes and every time I crank on the motor and hear that engine idle I want to thank god for this machine in my hands. of course with all great things come with great consequences. I myself was in a really bad motorcycle accident 4 months after moving to Orlando when  I was hit by a woman making an illegal U-turn on Colonial  august 28, 2007.
     I remember the day exactly, I just left the Suzuki dealership- new bike, new oil, beautiful Orlando day. then all of a sudden a careless driver changed my life when she sent my flying 20 feet into the air eventually landing on the hot blistering pavement. I went from riding a $10,000 motorcycle to screaming in pain on the burning road beneath me. after spending 12 hours in the trauma unit I was having my first surgery of my life and everything still hadn't sunk into my brain yet, maybe it was the pain. It seemed moments ago I was fine, now I have a busted open knee, broken toe, and 2nd degree burns on my skin that day. I spent a year in Iraq and didn't get a scratch but moved  down here from Texas and  almost lose my life due to someone else.
      I stopped riding bikes for awhile but then I realize how much I love riding them and I need that wonderful motor in my life. I can never let someone else steal my moment of joy and will always do what makes me happy. to me a motorcycle is like a sexy woman that I gotta touch no matter if it belongs to me or not.

traffic,traffic,traffic!!!

       it seems the only thing I hate about school is driving through the endless slow-motion vehicles down Semoran Boulevard. I sincerely wish I could smash half the cars in my path and safely make it to school smiling in the parking lot. No matter how many times I play my favorite songs I cant help but to focus on the slow idiots in front of my Nissan. I understand some people may not be in a hurry to reach their destination at all times but I am! My trip to school only took about 15 minutes  before City College moved to a bigger, better building. Now it takes about 30-35 minutes to get to school. It truly makes me miss my motorcycle and the ability to weave around the slow pokes.
      I'm not saying people shouldn't be driving like NASCAR down the road but sometimes it can just be ridiculous. If you cant drive atleast the speed limit you should just pull over for everyone else.
I know Semoran use to be the busiest main road in Florida at one point but a person would think with 3 to 4 lanes to drive in its almost impossible for cars big or small to be so congested next to each other. Also, if people would just drive like they had a purpose in life the situation wouldn't be so bad.    
      I personally don't believe in acting out road rage because its just not worth it to intentionally invoke some stranger to fight it out in the middle of the street. and if there is a state trooper in traffic people drive like they are on horseback! obviously the only solution is to make the lanes wider but by the time the construction is all said and done there will be twice as many cars as before. ugh!!

tattooing 101

tattooing has been around for thousands of years and has hasn't changed much as far as the basics. designs and ideas are created and a mutual agreement with the tattoo artist and the one receiving the tattoo are essential to making a great long lasting tattoo. the process of adding ink to skin has slightly changed by the use of better machines and higher quality ink. to me tattoo are artwork permanently o the skin, it can be viewed as something to inspire or motivate a person, or to simply to  remind them of the importance of a loved one who has passed away. the only limitation in getting as tattoo is the persons creative mind. I personally have about 34 tattoos, about 40% of my body covered in ink so far and I plan on getting about 30 more. soon I will be tattooing others and I know it will be a great experience for me and I will make lots personal friendships solely based on my talent as a artist.
