my tattoo
"I suppose that is the nature of the monument.
Be it a small house or a mansion of Corinthian columns and wrought-ron lace.
The monument does not say that this or that man walked here.
No, that what he felt in one time in one spot continues.
The moon that rose over New Orleans then still rises.
As long as the monuments stand, it still rises.
The feeling, at least here...and there..it remains the same."- louis (interview with a vampire)
I was reading this passage and thought to myself..
that is exactly how i feel about the tattoo on my wrist,
the one of a dear friends' name.
people seem to think that a name means u have branded yourself..
as though they own you..and that is not the reason for it at all,..
and so many try to tell me i should change it
or put something over it..
but they completely miss the reason it is still there..
or that it was ever put there.
i would almost rather die then change it.
its a moment in time..
a feeling that so long as its there..it remains the same..
its a monument i well never tear down.
it does not say that this or that man owns me..
it does not mean that things around me do not change..
and does not mean that i do not change..
but once again..
As long as the monuments stand, it still rises.
i can look to it and know that its not lost,
the feeling here and there..
for that moment in time..remains the same.
I visited the graves of bruce and brandon lee
earlier this week with Tom<3,
and my newly de-flowered flask of raspberry vodka.
I love cemeteries..
(and not just because am a gothic poser:P)
Its a nice time of the year to being doing so.
With it being spring and all,
cherry blossoms, wind,goddam birds..heh..
Anyhow if u ever get bored,
its at lakeview cemetery in capitol hill.
There is also a small park across from there with a view of the water thats pretty cool:)
