You're a pretty human being. This living it ain't easy.

A whole lotta little nothings today. Little nothings culled from earlier notes in the week. As I am weak. From lack of sleep. Happy Daylight Savings Time Day by the way. And Pi Day. Fact: This is the only year in your lifetime that these two amazing holidays will fall on the same day.
Did I make that up? Maybe. Should you celebrate this occasion anyways? Depends how much you like pie. Pie and waking up an hour earlier in the morning. If that's the kind of party that you're into I say celebrations should ensue.

Yesterday my friend David showed me a tattoo that he got through a service one local place puts on called "What you get is what you get", wherein one pays $50 in order to reach into a box and blindly draw out tattoo images. If you absolutely hate the one you pull, you pay another $10 to draw another and then chose between the two of those. You will not get your money back if you decide against those two choices. Otherwise you must get whatever you draw tattooed on you (if you don't want to walk away un-inked and minus $60, that is). He now has a large bloody cross on his leg. His friend he went with has a pig.
Which--as anyone who has talked to me in the last 15 hours will know--I find incredibly cool. Not because I would do it. I'm happy with just the one tattoo. I'm more interested in the kind of person who would have the good humor and easy attitude to let something like a tattoo be up in the air like that. And the joke of willingly getting a bad tattoo done is just too good.
In short, I want to be that.
But since I'm not willing to get tattooed in so slap-dash a fashion, I could never actually ever be as cool as David. But I mean, I don't think I'd ever beat him in a cool-ness contest. He lights things on fire for a JOB.
