Adulthood. Kinda sneaks up on you when you're not paying attention, doesn't it? One minute you have no responsibilities. The next minute, bills are stacking up, one kid needs braces, the other is starting school, and you're working constantly just to make ends meet. Yes, adulthood is one sneaky bastard. How do you know that you're an "adult"? I'm still not totally convinced that I'm a "grownup". In fact, I KNOW that I'm not. I still can't help but giggle or smirk (or, at the very least, think to myself, "That's what she said") whenever anything remotely sexual is said. Even if it wasn't used in a sexual definition, my brain suddenly turns into an 11 year old's and warps it so it sounds dirty. I basically turn about half of what I hear in commercials into double entendres. I REFUSE to share my toys/comics/video games...even with my own children. "You can look, but DO NOT TOUCH!!" My son wants to play with my Darth Vader action figure? No sir. You can have your own, but don't go messing with mommy's toys! (They're actually collectibles, but that's beside the point.) You want to read my comic pulls from this week? Absolutely not! I'm more than willing to pick you up a few issues for you to read though. No you can't play on my PS3!! You have a 360 all for yourself (or WiiU...depends on which of my sons is asking)! Why do you need to use mine? That being said, I play with my kids' toys ALL THE TIME! I will ABSOLUTELY dress up like comic characters for no reason at all. While dressed up, I totally become that character also. My idea of what "fun" is hasn't really changed too much since I was about 12 years old. "You want to dress all in black and run around the neighborhood playing manhunt? SIGN ME THE FUCK UP FOR THAT!!" (As long as I can get drunk first. Makes it more fun!) I still suck at committed relationships. I'm not afraid of commitment. I'm not afraid of falling in love. I just totally suck at relationships. It's not that I don't put effort into them. I totally do! A LOT of effort actually. I just am terrible when it comes to longer term relationships. I wind up freaking out and breaking it off most of the time. Why? I honestly have not a single clue. That being said... I don't mind being single either. No one has to try and conform me the their perfect girlfriend (which is good because I am FAR from perfect). When I'm single I don't really have to answer to anyone, and I do really like that aspect of being single. I will blow off work and other engagements to go to a punk show. Who's playing? WHO CARES!! A show's a show. Silly things make me SO happy! I will (and have) completely lost my mind because someone picked up a Lego Storm Trooper keychain light. Seriously. That little thing made me so happy for the longest time. I've been lucky enough to find people who are just as screwed up as I am...and I LOVE YOU GUYS!! There are so many reasons as to why I don't believe that I'm a "grownup"...at least in my brain. What really defines being grown up? If you know, let me know. This is information that I need. I HAVE TO HAVE IT!! That's all I got this time! Please follow my blog if I made you think, or laugh, or eat ramen noodles, or ANYTHING....and feel free to comment if you agree, or disagree, or just want to discuss the possibility that unicorns exist! I'm not here to judge you! But I do have an opinion on a LOT of things, and if you can help me understand yours, in a logical and reasonable fashion....you might just change my mind! But probably not. I love you, and I hope you have a glorious day!

I'm single, so I don't think I can muster up the energy to give a single fuck about the fact that today is Valentine's Day. Wait....let me try....................... Nope. 0 fucks given. I know that I'm definitely not the only one who's single. Far from it. This isn't really about the people who are single and are fine with it (like myself). This is about those people who are so desperate to smash ANYONE, simply because it's Valentine's day. Maybe they want to drown their sorrows in alcohol induced hookups, and the sweat of shame that comes with said hookups. I've been there. I'm not judging you. I'm not here to tell you not to go and pick up that generic bar slut, take him or her (or both, you little freak!) to your car/hotel room/house, and engage in self pity sex. If you want to do that, GO AHEAD! JUST BE SAFE ABOUT IT! Enough seriousness. Just remember these fun little poems I wrote this morning, and you won't wake up the next morning having to plan your frenzied dash to the walk in clinic. Yeah, I know that most of these are directed at males...but ladies, take the same advise. You don't want to be locked down with some random dude for 18+ years simply because you didn't want to use protection (or he didn't want to use protection...) So, be safe! WRAP IT UP! That's all I got this time! Please follow my blog if I made you think, or laugh, hump a splintered piece of balsa wood, or ANYTHING....and feel free to comment if you agree, or disagree, or just want to discuss the possibility that unicorns exist!

That's considering if I slept at all that night. Many nights are sleepless. Just tossing and turning, not being able to shut my brain off. The nights I am able to sleep, I have terrible nightmares and wake up soaked with sweat, barely knowing where I am. Did you know that after about 5 days of no sleep, you start to hallucinate? I didn't. No one warned me about that. That tidbit of information would've been useful so I didn't think I was going TOTALLY insane. People on the outside of my life looking in may think that everything's fine. I have a roof over my head, a good job that I love, family who I love, 2 beautiful boys who I love...what could possibly be wrong? Also, I seem like I'm in a pretty positive mood most of the time, so nothing could be wrong, right? WRONG!!! I don't know why I think the way that I do. To be honest, it scares the shit out of me...and I'm not easily scared. Don't get me wrong, I am grateful for what I do have. I am definitely not some ungrateful, spoiled little shit. I do have family, friends, food, shelter, and a career. Which is a lot more than most people have. So why am I so fucked up? Why am I having these terrible thoughts? I DON'T KNOW!!! And that's what scares me the most. Could it be all the twisted crap that I did in my past? Maybe. Could it be due to the fact that I have pretty much blocked out 12 years of my life? (Which multiple psychiatrists have determined is because of a trauma that was so severe that I simply can't handle it, so I repressed those years.) Possibly. Could it be that no matter how hard I try to be healthy, and stay sober (for the most part), I continue to have severe health issues that are totally incurable, and the treatment for them (so far) has been a total waste of time? Could be. Could it be that every month I lose another one of my friends to overdoses, suicide, accidents, etc.? Might be. Honestly, it's probably a combination of all that crap. It can't just be one thing. I know I'm not a weak person. I've been through shit you probably can't even imagine...not even in your worst nightmares. Honestly, I wouldn't want you to be able to imagine the shit I've dealt with. I wouldn't wish any of that on my worst enemy. I don't even really know where this is going. I just needed to write this, just to get some crap off my chest (metaphorically speaking). I know I have issues. Trust issues, issues with anxiety...I have a lot of issues. Most of them I deal with, some I can't handle. The only things keeping me on this earth are my kids. This is not a "cry for help". I don't need or want anyone's sympathy. I'm not trying to make anyone feel bad for me. Just take this thought with you: Simply because a person may seem like nothing is bothering them, like nothing's wrong. That they're happy in life...that may not be the case at all. This is going to sound really cliché, but don't judge a book by it's cover. The cover may be all sunshine and rainbows, but once you actually start reading that book, it may be one of the most terrifying experiences of your life. That's it for now. Usually I have a little funnyish thing to put here, but I'm not in the mood. If you are having any similar thoughts, get help. Seriously. Don't mess around.

Miss me? I missed you! Anyway, let's get right into the topic at hand: Things You Should NEVER Do In a Tattoo Shop (Unless you want to look like a total asshole!) There are so many things that so many people do at tattoo shops that should never, under ANY circumstances, unless they want to look like a complete asshole, that I can't list them all, but here are some that aggravate me the most. 1: Asking for a price on a tattoo, without giving any specific details, and in some cases, no details at all. This happens a LOT. Someone comes in with a really vague idea of what they want to get tattooed, and barely an idea of where they want to get it tattooed on them. That conversation usually goes something like this: Client: "I want to get a dragon tattoo" Me: "Okay. What style dragon? Oriental? Mid-evil? New school? Traditional? Realism?" Client: "I'm not really sure." Me: "Okay...color, or black and gray?" Client: "I don't really know." Me: "Umm...okay. Where do you want to get it?" Client: "I don't know, I was thinking maybe my thigh, or my arm, or my ribs." Me: "Are you sure you're ready to get this done? It doesn't seem like you've given this too much thought." Imagine playing 20 Questions every day, except the person who you're playing with doesn't have any of the answers. Sounds irritating as hell, doesn't it? Well it is. It's even worse if someone doesn't even have a basic idea of what they want. If you don't know what you want, how can you expect me to know what you want? 2: Coming in and pulling up a picture (of a tattoo that's already been done) on your phone, and demanding to get that exact tattoo done, without allowing any changes. This one is pretty much the polar opposite as #1, but it's just as annoying, if not more so. There are a lot of tattooers out there who have no issue with tracing someone else's work, tattooing it onto a client, and, in some cases, claiming the design as their own. I am not one of these tattooers. You're more than welcome to bring in a reference picture to give me an idea of what you want. In fact, that's fantastic if you do. It gives me an idea of the basic design that you want. However, a reference picture should be used as REFERENCE, not traced to be identical. Not only does this show that a total lack originality and creativity, but it's also stealing. You are stealing the original artist's work, AND you're also devaluing the original piece. 3: Saying anything about how your boy does "sick tatts" out of his house at a much cheaper price. (Especially if you're covered in his horrible work!) Not only does this make you look like an asshole, but you also sound like a total idiot. If your "boy" can bang out a totally rocking rib piece for only $30, then why are you here? Oh...that's right. You boy's garbage, and you know it. That's why you came to me: to get it done right. 4: Trying to talk down the price to some ridiculously insulting number. I'm usually pretty fair with my pricing. I know it's just as hard for you to come up with money as it is for me. That doesn't mean that I should give you such a low price that I wind up getting screwed. 5: Asking for a "hook up" This one is probably the most irritating to me. If you are a regular client, I'm already giving you a lowered price. If you don't know me, or if I tattooed you 3 years ago one time...don't even bother asking this. It's just going to piss me off. There's probably a billion other things, but I can't really think of any right now. If I do, I'll write a part 2. That's all I got this time!

It actually burns a white, which only appears to be yellow, blue-green color, or other colors, because of the distortion caused by our atmosphere. NASA actually recolors the sun in photos, because that's what we're used to seeing. **FUN FACT** The sun's rays dispersed through the atmosphere is actually why our sky appears blue! ANNNNYYYYYWWWWAAAAYY! Back to my original train of thought. So Superman (allegedly) gets his powers from our yellow sun, correct? (Of course it's correct...what? ARE YOU QUESTIONING ME?!) Well, Superman...IF THAT IS YOUR REAL NAME!!! Well...it's not, it's Kal-El, and also Sups, we all know you're Clark Kent. Sorry to burst your bubble, but glasses + curl does not = a convincing disguise. You CLAIM to get your power from our "yellow sun"...which I've already shit on that theory. Considering the fact that you have exited the Earth's atmosphere several times (even went INTO the sun on at least one occasion), you KNOW that our sun is NOT yellow, rather a blue/green color. So, Superman/Clark Kent/Kal-El...you, sir, are a PHONY!! A BIG FAT PHONY!!! You get no powers from our sun at all! (Neither does Zog...) **MY CONCLUSION** Superman suffered a TBI when his spaceship crashed into Smallville, and all of his "heroic exploits" have been nothing more than the delirious hallucinations of an alien life form locked away in a secret government base. (This would include any and all interactions with other REAL members of TJLA, and/or various super villains.) SUCK ON THAT, SUPERMAN! That's all I got this time!

Superman is living a lie...maybe that's why he's so hard to kill! *If you die in your dreams, you die in real life!* I'm pretty sure that you've probably seen this posted, over and over again. The words "Bullying" and "Bully" are being tossed around a little too loosely, in my opinion. Don't get me wrong, I do NOT advocate REAL bullying, but a lot of the actions that are now labeled as "bullying", are not really "bullying"! That is the definition of a Bully. Cyber bullying also has to be a repeated action. So if someone was to post a single comment about someone, or a threat toward them, one time, it isn't cyber bullying. REAL bullying isn't right. When someone REPEATEDLY attacks (verbally OR physically) another person, for no tangible reason, THAT IS bullying. And in no way, shape, or form, is that okay. They are using the anti-bullying platform to (in effect) bully our children into being friends with everyone (if they like the person or not). Children are forced to include everyone they know into, pretty much, everything they do. In my opinion, that is wrong. There are also those times when just the facts are stated, and they can be misconstrued as "bullying". Sometimes.....you're just calling it as you see it. That's all I got this time!

Or the year before that, or the year before that...it's been a while. Why? BECAUSE MTV DOESN'T RUN MUSIC VIDEOS ANYMORE!!!! How are you going to host a music video award show....WHEN YOU DON'T RUN VIDEOS?!?! You know who SHOULD be hosting it? YouTube. Think about it, where do you go to watch ANY music videos? MTV?! (If you said yes to that, just stop reading this blog right now...you make no sense) NO!!! YouTube is the ONLY place that runs music videos. Of course, because I'm linked in to like EVERY SOCIAL NETWORK IN THE WORLD (pretty much)...I was pummeled by VMA posts all Sunday night and Monday morning. (Thanks for that, by the way) Here's an idea MTV. How about you stop hosting the VMA's, let YouTube take that over, and you guys can start hosting the "I'm Glad You Didn't Fuck Your Life Up Any Worse Than You Already Did" awards show. You can give awards to the girls & guys from "16 and Pregnant" who actually are raising their children (or who managed to NOT get knocked up right after they were on the show) You can give awards to the cast of "The Jersey Shore" who managed not to overdose, or totally fall off the wagon. Just spit balling some ideas. Not everything was terrible. We did get ONE good thing from this whole disaster. We got a new spin on an old joke: "Guess what..." "What?" "Miley butt!" Love you all!!

Allow me to break it down for you: ***Disclaimer*** This is MY opinion! You are allowed & encouraged to create your own! I am not here to tell you how to think, act, or what to believe!
About 70% of them are very extreme in their belief that the "government is only looking out for us", and are willing to give up their rights (and push others to do the same), for a false sense of security. 39% of US citizens believe that we should retain our rights, but they also believe that the government is basically infallible. They don't want gun control, but wish to allow control in other aspects of our lives. (The Right) About 50% of these (or should I say "Real 'Mericans?) are so opposed to ANY government interference, that they're blind to anything else. They believe that abortion is an abomination. They believe all immigrants (especially those who practice Islam) are "terrorists"...(even though they know nothing (or very little) about the Islamic faith, except for what is spoon fed to them). These people wish to close off our borders. They will wave the bible around, throwing out random quotes. They CLAIM to be "awake", yet they are blind to any other theory that isn't exactly the same as theirs. They ALSO want to strip away our rights (especially amendments 1 & 4, in certain situations). (The Far Right) Both groups are for total government control, as long as it goes along with their own personal agendas. 15% of US citizens just don't care either way. They SHOULD, but I suppose it'd be too much of an effort...so they just go with the flow. Then there's the other 6%. This is where I fit in, (if I have to fit in anywhere). Luckily, this 6% is rapidly growing as more and more people realize what is actually going on I DO believe in separation of church & state...even though I am not religious. But who am I to judge? I DO believe that the Bill of Rights should NOT be altered under any circumstances. These are NOT privileges or "gifts" from the government that can be taken away. These are basic human rights, granted to any American citizen and CANNOT be taken away. They try to twist and spin it to look like they're doing it for our "best interest"...but we all know that's not the case. I DO believe in the freedom to practice any religion...again, I'm not religious, but I don't judge. (I mean seriously, have you read about Scientology?? Batshit crazy to me, but to each his own, I guess). Most importantly, I believe that US citizens have the right to know what is going on in their own government. The false flags keep piling up. The blame keeps getting pointed at innocent citizens (who mysteriously die in custody, or are just killed on sight)...the majority of whom practice Islam...which is a PEACEFUL RELIGION!!! (Seriously guys, saying all Muslims are extremists is like saying all Christians are Jehovah's Witnesses.) Our country was founded on the ideas that people could practice what they want, without prejudice. Protect and arm themselves, not only from other citizens, but from our own government. Our citizens should be considered innocent until proven guilty...and the burden of proof is on the state. We do not have to prove our innocence, THEY have to prove our guilt. Private property should NOT be searched without warrants, or probable cause...and if neither is available, citizens have the right to tell them to fuck off. This goes for seizure of private property as well. If you film something on your phone, the police can ASK that you turn it in...but they cannot FORCEFULLY take it. (Illegal search & seizure, 4th Amendment) Free speech should not be hindered in any way...even if it's in a "No Free Speech Zone"...which, by the way, is a totally made up thing. They do not exist. (Well, they do...but they shouldn't). Any US citizen who is being questioned, can decline the right to speak, as to not incriminate him/herself. Did you know that the Fifth Amendment is no more? Now remaining silent is the equivalent to an admission of guilt. Thanks Congress. The Declaration of Independence is available if you need anymore toilet paper. You've obviously burned through the Bill of Rights.
