Hi everyone!


Silver Lining:


Well its Sunday. My favorite day of the week! Yesterday i spent the day getting a tattoo to cover over one that I got when I was about 20. It had my ex-wife's name on it. Here's some obvious advice.....don't ever do that! So the process of getting a tattoo was painful. I know maybe I'm just being a wimp here but I was in the chair for over 4 hours. The silver lining here is the people at Tank's Tattoos in Glyndon, MN were great! I had my girlfriend with as well so it was much better than going alone. Check out the pick of the tattoo here. In the cross you can see the initials J L S. Those are Jason Stadstad's initials. He was a young man that died of cancer way too young. Great kid, great family and I told his mother Shelly that I would get a J L S tattoo. Further, the wings symbolize his freedom (in death) from the cancer. The cross speaks to the young mans faith. Anyway here it is.

It Could Be Worse:

Hey, I'm glad all the people at Tanks were great. I'm sure there are some horrible tattoo experiences out there but this definitely wasn't one of them. Tanks specializes in fixing other tattoo artists screw ups. They are very good. The gal that did mine has tattooed band members from Cinderella and Firehouse!


Life Coach:


Just go for it, don't worry about what others think. The courageous are rewarded! You want to get inked, do it!


Homework:


Do something that you have been thinking about but are a bit afraid to do!

  2. Took yer advice and started a rumble with a pitbull. Didn't go quite as I planned it, and now I have to type with one finger. But I AM, in fact, a little less afraid to do it again, but ONLY if I have to next time.....
