Today has been brought to you by the letter L

Getting inked has been on my mind since graduation. Well, actually, long before then, but it was seriously on my mind since then. I actually stepped into a tattoo shop (Kat Von D’s no less) and was about to go through with it. I had on my mind, at the time, the idea of a pinup girl and a robot concept… it wasn’t really planned out. If there are two things I enjoy the most right?

Still… I had this whole notion of having some sort of post apocalyptic robot dominated world picturesque mural on my back… moving images and everything :D I say that hoping there are some Bradbury fans out there.

So… in light of speaking to my sis today, I think I’m going forward with more concrete (as in more practical – less ideal) direction with my first ink session. No doubt, one’s not going to cut it… (okay I swear I’m not trying with the puns)… I just need something that looks good on its own, but will connect to the overall theme. That would be my mantra.

Life. Love. Laughter.

I forgot an important word… it’s been rough, speaking for myself, when I’m lost in my own world. I just get swept up in the madness and before long, I’m drowning in the chaos of life. But there’s more to life than the hustle and the bustle… the chaos is not all consuming. There is Love…(which admittedly is on hold – at least personal romantic Love). I think it’s taking a different form, and I’m honoring and cherishing the Love you have for your mother, as a son, and as a brother at the moment. There’s Laughter… which feels like few and far in between, but they’re there… and they happen often enough (the key is to fill our days with laughter no?). Life goes without speaking. Live life to it’s fullest (that’s the plan). Then there’s that other L-word. The one that I always knew but was not apparent to me as of late. What was missing was the Light.

The light represents awakening. It is knowledge, wisdom, and the search for higher truths. So powerful a word, that’s its counterpoint – the darkness fails by comparison. Think about it, the light always shines through the darkness, and well the darkness can’t penetrate through the light. Blah… abstract notions and this blog is already too long. Just think about it.

L is for Light.
