Teeth are Expensive
Recently, I started going to the dentist now that I have benefits. It has been many years since I last sat in a dentist chair. It isn’t because I don’t like dentists, but instead because I could never make them a priority when I knew it would cost me hundreds…

My First Tattoo
Around two months ago, I decided I wanted to finally get my first tattoo. I have wanted one for over eight years now, and finally I’ve made it a reality. If you’ve been on my Flickr account, you’ve already seen some pictures of it. I got it done at Neo-primitive…

The Right Career For Me
