Blind Sublime

Merry Christmas

hey whats up man? nah i havent yet. expences keep coming up and nipping my wallet in the ass. so i haven't had much cash for ink. what about you? get any of ur tatts yet?

haha yea i can't wait to get it done whenever that is.

and thank you. it was pretty epic, but it's gone now. my hair isn't long enough to make a mustache since i cut and bleached it.

wow we got all deep and shit man hahaha.

for the batman symbol i think i want something a bit more realistic but not quite. a mix between the outline of a real bat and the easily recognisable bat symbol.

and ur right, once you start doing whatever without even thinking you loose your freedom. you become slave to impulse. to have freedom is to do without the limitations set on you by others or by the limitations we imagine have been set for us. but with control and moderation. there has to be some moral responsibility. once you start acting without control, you loose freedom. you can't have one without the other no matter how contradictory it might sound. it just has to be ur own control. you can't let others shape ur life, but the whole time you need to take others into concideration because we're not seperate from other people. there is no "I" and there is no "other" it's just all one thing. and our actions affect everything.

the eclipse it's a good symbol to represent that. even in darkness, the sun still shines right? no matter how dark, how big the obstacle, there's hope. and it's good to have reminders of the good things, even when they don't end well.

exactly. i don't want something i think is cool now but wont like or care about in a few months or years. i wan't something i'll be happy with for the rest of my life. id like something that means something to me, which is why i don't really want any characters, no matter how much i love them i've been wanting to stay away from that. the only problem is i can't think of anything that truly means anything to me. and who we are changes every second so it's hard to pick something u'll be happy with for the rest of ur life. there's lots of cool stuff i would love getting but when i think of why i would get it, the only reason is because it'd be cool. and i want a little more than that.

now the batsymbol is something i could get even tho i want to stay away from that kind of thing because i love batman, from my earliest memories i've always loved the guy. one of the few constants in my life and something i can escape to. even tho he's fictional batman is someone i can admire, his dedication and drive two things i lack. it's just something that actually means something to me even tho it's just a little cartoon symbol. now granted i don't want some lame little thing. i want something a bit more original. not sure exactly how i want it to look but i don't want the plain little black and yellow logo.

the eclipse thing sounds awesome. they all sound like great ideas. i've actually thought of getting some barbed wire on my arm. i used to hate that. so over used and cliche, but something about it's overuse is appealing to me. something about how it used to symbolize thoughness and then just became a stupid little trend and then how it got replaced by tribal tatts. i dunno, that and it looks cool.

that sounds crazy. i like my weather stable tho haha. and snow is freakin' great. i love it. wish we would get more of it. but oh well, what can ya do. luckly there are some mountains nearby that get good amounts of snow. i'm gonna try and see if i can learn to snowboard.

yea i really want some ink, but i want to be 100% sure of what i want and where i want it. and i just can't figure out what. the bat symbol i'll probly get. what are you gonna get?
