The New Tattoo & Ryan's Baptism





I finally did it, I got a new tattoo - 3 hours before boarding the plane to leave Hawai'i! I wanted to get something meaningful in a location that meant something to me, so I selected the underside of my right arm (several of my best friends in Hawai'i have ink there) and I decided on the Hawaiian island chain with the Hawaiian state flag in the islands. It was an extremely painful hour...above are the pics of the progression from beginning, to the stenciling, to the ink, to the finished product.

Since I've been home, I've been staying at my sister's house in Virginia, just about 30 minutes outside of D.C.

Last week we went to Lowe's and bought a Christmas Tree. It was a great day out - despite the VERY cold temperatures I've been aclimating to...





...and last weekend was my nephew's Baptism...




...I was honored to be the Godfather. Ryan (my nephew) screamed bloody murder the moment the priest moved in towards him, and when he finally got to the point where water was to be poured on his forehead, he was screaming and kicking as hard as he could to the amusement of the entire congregation, who were watching in disbelief. The climax, however, was when the priest went to anoint Ryan's forehead with oil and Ryan lifted up his hand and smacked the priest's hand away! I've never seen anything more amusing in my life - although my poor sister was mortified. He looks so innocent below, doesn't he???



Last night I had dinner with one of my friends named Eddie (a friend I met in Puerto Vallarta with Victor) and tomorrow night I'm going to venture out into D.C. a bit to check out the bar scene. This weekend Victor is having a party at his house in PA and I'm looking forward to reconnecting with some old friends. Life has definetly slowed down since I left Hawai'i - and I'm thankful for the much needed break.

Other than that, I joined facebook and I'm about to delete my myspace account. You can search my Facebook profile by "Robert John Matyas" or rjmatyas@gmail.com

One of my New Years resolutions is to create more concise blog entries, how am I doing???

RJ,
I like the tattoo, although it looks sore at the moment :(
Did you cut your hair again or just gel it down?
Your nephew does look adorable and even though Kelly was mortified it will be a good family memory.
Have fun with your family and friends.
Happy Holidays
Love ya,
Debby McG

the baptism photos were adorable. the niece and nephew are priceless.

the tat is nice. However, the tank top you were wearing deserves its own blog entry. LOL! You HAVE TOO!

Connie Moreno said...

Love the tattoo. Concise blog entries? Noooooooooooooo!

Jan said...

I think your tat is pretty. I would never get one, personally. However, they do look nice on other folks. (Peircings are another thing, though... :-)

Are you growing more hair on your body now? Looks like it. Yay!

The kids look BIG. Jeez. Time flies. I guess we are getting older - like fine wine. :-)

I'll see you this month. Let's figure out how and when. I'll be up in the Valley from Dec. 25 to Dec. 27 (?). Other than that. I'll be down in South Philly. Yo!

xox,
JC

Oh and someone's birthday is coming up... How sunny is that!
