Cause a party ain't great cuz the booze is free...

Well it's been a while since I've posted. Just haven't really been in the mood to blog, but here are some musings of mine:

So I've had my tattoo for a month now and I love it. I'm ready to add to it, but it's still weird to walk by a mirror and see it or when I'm wearing a short sleeve shirt the bottom foot of the angel is visible. Having one has led me to pay more attention to other people's tats and I've come to realize that there is a lot of bad ink out there. I'm not really a person who believes a tattoo has to have some deep meaning. No doubt it should have some meaning, but it doesn't need to be the basis of your spiritual essence. If it's cool and good artwork then go for it, however, a lot of people have stupid tats. It's crazy some of the stuff I see on people and its almost as if they don't realize it'll be on their body forever.

Christmas time is upon us and you know what that means: more pointless consumerism and a whole bunch of stuff that has nothing to do with the birth of Jesus. I don't want to be a negative Nelly about this, but seriously if I see one more giant inflatable Santa or snowman I'm going to throw up. I enjoy Christmas lights, Christmas trees, all the goodies, etc etc but all this crap is pointless when the real meaning is lost. We spend so much money on Christmas decorations it's ridiculous. How much of that money could go towards the poor? Isn't that the "spirit" of Christmas, helping others? I don't know, maybe I'm the crazy one.

Finally, the show Rob and Big on MTV is one of the best I've seen in a while. It's the first "reality" show that isn't stupid, crude, and fake. It's funny and fresh and really laid back. It doesn't feel fake or that they set up the plots or anything. Check it out if you haven't seen it...
