Meet and greet

I don't know what to talk about, but I need to get this next post done because of my not being here tomorrow. What I was supposed to be doing was going to get a tattoo. But while I was in school yesterday, my aunt called around to a ton of places, and they all said that before I can get my tattoo, I have to go there in person at least once for a Meet & Greet.

So at a M&G, we basically just sit there talk. I have to show them exactly what I want for a tattoo, show them where I want to put it, then tell them what colors I want. Then they'd discuss with me how much that particular spot would hurt, or would gaining or losing weight effect the overall tattoo. Then after all that, we'd decide a cost for the tattoo, then I can set up an actual appointment to get my tattoo. And that could take up to two weeks.

So not only am I missing tomorrow for this annoying M&G thing, but in about two weeks I'll be missing school again (wait, don't we have vacation in two weeks?) so I'll actually be able to get my tattoo. This is a very long process, and I don't like it haha. But the tattoo will be totally worth it when I get it.

Unfortunately, though, unlike Nat, I don't have a very good reason for getting a tattoo. She had a beautiful reason for wanting her tattoo. I simply want mine because I like the appearance of the ink and think it looks cool. But there's no back story to it at all. So, hopefully I won't start hating it after I get it haha.This is the tattoo that I'm getting:

Lazarus

I recently saw the movie Lazarus Effect. It's about bringing people back from the dead with special serum called Lazarus. The movie was great, a little unsettling though. The main plot of the movie is that we, as humans, only use 10% of our brains at a time, but we have no idea what the unused 90% does. So, when the Lazarus brings Zoe back to life, she's now using 100% of her brain, and can do all this paranormal shit and it's really creepy.

My whole point to this is, though, is that this could be entirely possible. Not the whole Lazarus serum thing, I don't think it'd be possible to bring the dead back (and because of the movie, I hope it never happens), but what would happen if we used all of our brain instead of just a portion?

Now before you think I'm crazy, think about it for a second. We use ten percent of our brains. We're average humans, great. Albert Einstein could solve math equations just like that. He was the smartest man in the world. Do you really think someone so smart could only use ten percent of his brain? I think he may have been using twenty percent of his brain, or more.

So what would happen if we used all of our brain? Would we be able to do supernatural things like the movie suggests? Would we become evil, like Zoe? Or would the power be too much for us and slowly wear and tear away at our bodies and souls? 

That movie seriously messed me up. I'm so paranoid about literally everything right now.
