wednesday night funny.

I go to my Mother's house to pick my daughter up and she has a couple urgent things to tell me. It goes something like this:

Her: Mommy, Mommy... I won the spelling bee in school today!

Me: Did you?! Yay ... I'm proud of you boobie =]

Her: Yep, I did. So Mommy, since I won the spelling bee, can I get a Hannah Montana tattoo with a guitar and words around the guitar that says Hannah Montana Rocks??? Please Mommy?

Me: :-0

She's 5. Kids say the craziest things.

That's all folks.

P.S. - Interview went well. He is super, super cool. One of my best "newbie" interviews to date, not better than Hurricane Chris though. That boy was a complete fool, but I love it when they are laid back, funny and humble. Check him out on MySpace.

art craving.

I just took this pic on my Blackberry. Not sure if it's too bright, but it's a pic of one of my tats. A meaningful Latin quote wrapped around my wrist in a very fancy cursive font. I love it. Probably more than my other tat, which is a rosary around my ankle. I'm having a tattoo craving though, especially as of recent. I want a few more. I want some Roman Numerals somewhere [my daughter's birth date] and I want something else. Something bigger - maybe more dramatic - words. Not sure exactly what though. But here's what happens. I have a craving, then I begin diligently searching for ideas. I spend about 6-8 months making sure I want whatever idea I came up with. I go to the parlor. Look around [as if I've never been in that one before] ... see someone getting tatted - freak out [as if I don't have any] and say I'll be back. Two months later I'll go back and bring my idea to fruition.


I need my tattoos to be meaningful. I know several people who get tats out of impulse - I'm good on that. No offense to those who do that, I'm sure it gives you an inexplicable high and it's probably thrilling. But it's also ... ehhh... permanent. Unless of course you decide to have laser surgery, which not many people do. Some rather live with a regret rather than pay for laser surgery. Can't knock 'em.


Is it me or are tattoos [and piercings] addictive? I've already done the 6-8 month portion of this and I've actually visited the parlor, freaked out and left, so you know what's next...
