Not sure where to start.. I guess I'll get the dorkiness outta the way. As most of us know, I'm a fan of professional wrestling. Sunday morning, one of the modern legends, Eddie Guerrero, passed away and tonight they had this big ceremony for him on wrestling. It was sad, truthfully.. the entire WWE line-up was on stage, and every last one of them was weeping, but moreso, the entire crowd (I have no idea how many people the Minneapolis civic center can seat) was silent, out of respect. Call me a dork, a nerd, a loser, whatever.. I found it very touching, and not a little sad.
Last night I was watching Miami Ink.. on TLC.. I bet I passed by that tattoo place before and never even knew it, heh.. anyhoo, they had a couple people get tattoos to remind them of someone. A friend, a pet, a parent.. along those lines.. and today at work, I was in a weird frame of mind and something clicked.. I should get a tattoo of a shark on my calf. Why? Well, probably the only one reading this, who knows about it, is Byron, but my dad has a good many tattoos. Old Marine tattoos from when he was drunk and in Spain.. they're even done in the 'typical' green ink that's so common with military tattoos. He has the Roadrunner (he has never, to this day, 'fessed up how in the hell he got the damn Roadrunner tat'd on his arm), sparrows, his name, a rose.. I think something else.. but, he has a shark on his calf. Just a basic shark.. nothing special about it, but it's the one tattoo that has always, over the years, caught and kept my attention. When I decided that my first tattoo would be somethin' similar to his, it just felt 'right', like when I decided that, as an ode to my love for art, I wanna get a Royo painting as a backpiece. I dunno how much it'll cost.. and, really, even what I want it to look like, but it just seems like the natural way to introduce myself to tattooing.. with a shark covering my entire calf. Here's to figuring out how to get that positioned.. hmm..
So, in other news, I've decided I'm gonna get a boxer. I'm a little concerned about their problems with drooling and flatulence, but hey, we men know how to handle the flatulence. It's not like we're the sweetest smelling side of the species, after all. I'm not sure if I'll be getting a puppy or maybe one that's all ready older, house-broken, and is trained to be social and not chase cats around. A dog's never as cute as it is when it's a puppy, but god they're such a handful.. it'd be nice to not have to deal with picking up dog shit in the living room.
Lets see.. I bought the LSD album, by Enigma. LSD standing for Love, Sensuality, and Devotion. Greatest hits album from '90 up to '00.. it's very good. All the good songs I remember, and some good ones I hadn't heard since I didn't get their albums from '96 and '00. I still say Enigma is great fucking music. Between them and The Crystal Method, I have all the 'natural rhythm' I could ever need. <3 The new KMFDM album is, as mentioned, pretty good. I'm not the biggest KMFDM fan, but I do generally like them. Ministry and Skinny Puppy birthed the industrial genre, Nine Inch Nails made it mainstream.. but before NIN was even around, KMFDM made the genre club-friendly, and the key to almost any genre's longevity is club play, sad as it may be. This is why synth-pop and modern disc is still alive and kicking.
Is it bad when you fry bratwurst in cooking oil, on the stove, and you can smell waffles?
God I'm horny.
