Its been a while since my last post so a quick update is in order..

  • Finished the second year of my Masters.  Again was under immense pressure to get reports and labs completed and had little time to study for exams.  I just hope I passed!
  • I went to Stockholm for a quick trip for work, it was very interesting and I finally got to see the main headquarters.  Stockholm is a fantastic city, I was very impressed but the cost of living there is quite high.
  • I’m now working in Rabat, Morocco.  I’ve been here for nearly a week now and only 4 weeks left to go, I’m counting down the days.  Its not that I dont like the place the project is extremely laborious and I hate being dropped in the middle of projects were you are expected to start running from a standstill.  To make matters worse I’m doing work I have not been assigned to do, to say the least I’m angry about this.  It happens and I’m expected to deal with it but it is a horrible way to work.
  • I was planning on taking part in SoFoMoBo seeing as I was in a foreign country and all but its proving impossible to take photos while I’m here.  I might get a day sometime before I leave and try get all the photos I need but I can’t do a photo a day deal.

Right thats the end of the updates lets get onto something less depressing.  A very good friend of mine got a tattoo yesterday and I think its really cool.

While its not the most original tattoo in the world (I know a good few girls that have a star tattoo) it is a very cool tattoo and the only tattoo thats acceptable on a girl.  Made me think what would I get and where?  Its difficult to get a tattoo if your a guy cause its very easy to get a tattoo then one day your in your 40s with a hairy chest and a stupid tattoo of your favorite football club on your arm or something.

Guys can’t have cool tattoos, guys with emo tattoos are gonna look stupid when they turn 40…..what am I saying they look stupid now.  I remember contemplating getting a Metallica tattoo but there is no originality in that.  It would be nice to have a tattoo that showed I’ve lived a little.  I mean I travel a lot but I’m not coming back changed and trolling on about my experiences abroad, clearly I have none :)  MaybeI should get a Henna tattoo or something while I’m here…..


So Reader! What tattoo would you get and where?  Answers on a post card addressed to Rabat or post a comment to forgo the millions of stamps required to reach this place!

    I’ve never been sure what to get if I ever did. As to where, they’d be on the outside of my forearms, but not like all-encompassing flame or tribal tattoos. Those things just look messy.

    I wonder if anyone has every gotten Yin and Yang on their testes?

    I will pay for you to get that tattoo sir, it would be worth the story alone!!!

    Flames and tribal tattoos were cool but again a lot of silly kids are getting them and that makes them uncool. Its a real shame….damn emo kids

    I disagree completely, I love girls with loads of tattoos. Especially sleeves. Mmm.

    Anyway — I would like a tattoo but have never come across anything I like so much that I’d put it on my body permanently.

    Now I’m reminded about Brody Dahl………

    She is pretty damn hot and she has loads of tattoos………

    Damnit I’m confused now, I guess it depends on the girl/guy certain people it works others it doesn’t. Name one emo guy that it works for though!
