As I’ve mentioned in the past I have too much time on my hands and I tend to use it in a rather unproductive manner. I haven’t been in the mood to read much lately but I have wasted many hours in front of a television and in front of a computer screen trying to scour for news and information that will help me be better informed. While I’m doing those activities I tend to get distracted and two things have been interfering.
1. Crackspace (some call it myspace)
2. Tattoos
I only have a crackspace account because it allows me to keep in contact with people without trying to remember their email addresses. A crackspace account also allows me to avoid much of the spam that can plague an email inbox. So, last night in my boredom (at a time when I should have been sleeping), I was searching through accounts of individuals that graduated around the same time as me. It was odd to look at some of those people and see where in the world they were and how they failed in life. Lets face it, we were all rather ambitious when we graduated from high school and now we are facing a completely different world. I thought that I would graduate with a degree in engineering and end up married but now I found myself enlisted in the military and happily divorced. Who knows where I might go as I think I’m finally making a valid attempt (and not a feign) to improve myself and get back onto some sort of track. I’ll post a few of the more interesting finds later (when I get home to my bookmarks).
I’ve also been scouring many of the tattoo sites for ideas… why? Some people believe that their body is a temple… well, mine has decorations. At one point, I thought I wanted a zoomorphic tattoo but I couldn’t find anything that was raw enough for my tastes. They were all rather smooth looking and too… estrogen rich. I even looked at much of the history behind the tattoos to find some of the original inspiration for the designs but could only find a few examples, none of which I liked. So, now that I’ve looked at a whole bunch of designs I will probably start looking at a whole bunch of artwork and see if anything there interests me. Many of the tattoo designs that I have seen are too small in scale and are only suitable for people that aren’t sure about the whole deal… skin real estate is prime and you only have one shot to get a certain area correct so I’ve got to make the right choice the first time out. There are no second chances… well, there are but coverups and removal are very painful and don’t always work.
Got a long weekend coming up as we are getting out of work tomorrow for some mandatory fun… I’m not sure what I’m going to do to fill the time (aside from habitat for humanity on saturday) so I’ll have to keep my options open. I don’t want to waste a lot of money so I might just go out and grab some food or something like that. Hopefully I can find a way to satiate my need for constant action.
