New Tattoo

Ive decided to get a new tattoo. Something to mark the marathon with. A permanent magical mark that will not only provide me with inspiration, but will be a permanent testament to my commitment and dedication. Its taken me a while to decide what to get and where to place it; all I knew was that I wanted an inscription. I sought the advice of close friends and family, and having decided to go for my upper left thigh, I narrowed a list down to four. One phrase stuck in my mind, and so now, the idea is more formed.
Audere est Facere.
To dare is to do.

So on Monday, I gave blood, because once ive got my new tattoo I will have to wait six months before I can give blood again. So now I can get it done.

I know nothing about tatoo's and even less about Latin, secondary school education I suppose. Made me miss out on understanding culture and language, and women of course...
Felt like a segregated school as far as I was concerned! Maybe I was just a late late developer.
Anyway I have to go now and register for the Dublin Marathon. Yes I havn't even bothered to do that yet, along with everything else in my life that I can't be bothered with right now! Useless arn't I.
Even though I have till the 8 October, its Audere est Facere for me today. I really need to get in the gym after wasting my weekend on the PC again!
