I’m gonna try to avoid talking about music this time.
I think tattoos are cool… to a point. I have two of them, and sometimes I get hit with the stigma that people with tattoos are ex convicts or bad guys or something. Girls think I’m a ‘bad boy’ and dudes assume I like to drink whiskey (and both are partially true, come to think of it).

Feel like making a mistake sometime? Go up to a Marine, then mistake the marines for the army. I live with two guys who are headed to Marine boot camp in July, and the three of us are like a gang.
