tattoo pain is addictive. it feels so good like scratching an internal organ. color is forthcoming. the plan is to do a background behind the samurai's. one dark and one light. a friend of BigWilly's (LowKeySmith) has got a fantastic artist who is boss with color. I want the backgrounds to lead into 1/4 sleeves and this guy is not cheap so I got to save my pennies.

Do tattoos hurt?
by coolhandluke inyes they do and i'm looking forward to it.
i tracked down the guy who started some work on my back and i'm going to finish part of it this weekend.
the tat started as a take on ying and yang and the idea that things come full circle.

I spoke to my JW mother...
by coolhandluke inwe had a disagreement a few months ago because she asked me to pay for her to come to see my brother graduate from his masters program.

i agree Sassy. I think that my mom is okay on this binge of talking to me because she realizes that I'm not going to change. I accept her and she thinks she should at least try to accept me. Whatever it is I'll ride this wave and try not to think too much about the why and just concentrate on the is. I don't envy her being in a position between her son and her God. That's gotta suck. She told me once that I wasn't going to keep her from everlasting life. I have to laugh at that now. I'm not going to let her keep me from enjoying my finite one.

agreed completely gopher. i'm just trying to be civil. i know that what she believes is bullshit and deep down so does she. she's just scared to admit it because, 'then what?'
Rooster you freak, you don't believe in God. :D
Sunspot, she is hard to make sense of, especially when the cognitive dissonance is at its peak
Maddie, thanks for the support. What you said is basically why I even called her in the first place

We had a disagreement a few months ago because she asked me to pay for her to come to see my brother graduate from his Masters program. Whats the big deal with that? She said that her conscience would allow her to come and give him support even though I was there. Since this was a family matter she believed that Jehovah would forgive her if she had to eat with me. Why would she have to eat with me? Because my brother wouldn't ask me to leave just so she'd feel comfortable. I told her that it was strange that her God would make excuses for her to do what it was that she wanted to do most. I know that she loves my brother more than she loves me. It's not a big deal. I just wanted her to know that I knew and that I forgave her for it. After her visit it has been about 5 months since we have spoken.
Our conversation yesterday was good. I apologized for the way I left the org. Not that I left but the way that I left. I just stopped talking to her. I was trying to protect her from what I was doing. (that would be knockin boots by the way). It was a cowardly of me to not confront my real reasons for leaving, my doubts and misgivings but using a human shield in my then girlfriend. It was theraputic to apologize. She said that she'd done the same thing to her mother and she could understand needing to find who it was that you are inside. The difference is that my mother kinda whored around and did loads of drugs. I'm pretty much the same 'cept for the long hair, beard and newly found sexual prowess in my serial monogomy. Any who. She is trying to get accepted for the international conventions for the 3rd time in a row. More power to her. I told her that she was welcome in my home at any time. I meant that. Live and let live. Perhaps we are getting closer to that...

Any cigar smokers in here?
by marmot ini don't like cigarettes all that much (even though i actually tried to take up the habit, i found out i don't have an addictive personality - same reason why i'm not a coffee person either) but i do enjoy a nice cigar.
notice i said a nice cigar, not those nasty chemically-flavored things that taste like froot loops and smell like a crotch fire.
i'm talking about a nice cuban monte cristo or a real leaf-wrapped cigarillo.
