Upgrading and Tattoos

The windscreen wipers of course!

Not that the government is getting rid of the old and slowly shrivelling ones and replacing them with sparkly new ones..but the fact that i've noticed that they're all upgrading their equipment. (with exception to the really old and shrivelled one)

My winscreen might actually get a bit cleaner when they pounce on my car for once. :)


Moving on!

I'm just cleaning my desk.. and if you saw my desk - Oh look, a dead cockroach (no, i'm not even kidding) Evidence.

Anyway, digressing, I found an envelope that i'd written a future (or now past.. or is it present?) post on. Let's see if I can decipher it...

Love, Tattoos and the Black Sheep (But Not Necessarily Told in That Order)

I was going to write this last night so i'm not really sure what the love part is all about but moving on... Looking at a friend of a friends recent tattoo got me thinking about them. Don't get me wriong, i'm not against the ink stains but sometimes youve just gotta wonder why.
This tattoo in particular was in giant old fashioned block writing with the word "MICHAEL" across said friend of friends shoulder blades.
Now, normally i'd be thinking "what the hell?" (who am I kidding, I did) until I remembered this 19 year old was indeed a father and using my super powerful elephant memory remembered that his son is called Michael.
So I guess that's cool...

I'm sure there should be rules about tattoos.
Here are some I prepared earlier:

1. No girlfriend and or wife names. Unless they're dead or you're too old and wrinkly to bother looking for another.

2. No birthdates, especially not yours. (I was going into the tattoo/ piercing parlour a couple years ago to get my ear pierced and there was this scrawny "tough" kid who was getting a huge tattoo of his birthday on his lower back.. In fact, a guy a used to work with got one too.. and he was under 18 and trying to get into clubs. Really smart, I know.) I mean... if you can't remember your own birth date, well.. it goes without saying really.

3. If you've had a near death experience and want to remember it, a tattoo is acceptable.

4. Do not get your wife and or girlfriend/child/mother/brother/mother-in-law etc etc's face tattooed on you. More than likely it will look 1000 times uglier than said person.. (unless it is your mother-in-law)


OH SNAP.
