A tattoo for my pal...

I know that it has been a while and I know what is on your mind, "What does the tattoo look like?" Well, as Kaytabug has told me, I think I may have misled some of you, I got a tattoo, but it was not of my puppy, It was something that I had in my sketch book.


This was a picture I drew in 1997 after seeing something similar in a tattoo magazine. It represents all the different people that have touched me throughout my life.



This is what the final product looks like, bear in mind that it is now 10 years old so it ha faded some. Anyone out there skilled with a gun enough to touch it up?!!!

So anyway, as I was trying to say, the reason I got this tattoo was to deal with the emotional pain of losing my puppy. Most guys out there, especially strange ones like myself, know that when you are overwhelmed with emotional pain, the only thing that makes sense is to go through some physical pain. Strange how men use this to their advantage when dealing with women in order to play the "poor me" card.

I hope i just didn't break a man law by disclosing that information.

I hope this helps clarify matters. thanks for stopping by!

Fun Monday: Welcome to the ZOO!!!

This weeks Fun Monday was hosted by Lisa she wanted us to show off our pet(s). Well, Kaytabug and I have a few, but I assure you, NO REPEAT PHOTOS. We worked together on this...

This is Neko, I have no idea how old he was here but I would say about 2 or 3 months. What a cutie huh??!!!

Interesting side note, Kaytabug will be the first to tell you how much I love our pets. One morning almost 10 years ago I came home from work, and Neko was gone. Some ass munch decided that walking around our fenced in back yard was too much work, so they opened the gate, let the little puppy out into the world and cut through our yard. Trust me, I followed the boot prints. There was snow on the ground. Kaytabug was out of town with our oldest and I was a mess. I made phone calls, drove around town for about 4 hours, then I saw a tattoo shop. I pulled something out of my sketch book, went inside, came out 3 hours and $200 later with a sore shoulder and an aching heart. I got back to the house and there was a message from the local vet. Someone had found our puppy and took him to the vet. I picked him up and have put locks on our fences since.

I love my doggies!!!


This is our oldest with both of our cats. I would venture to say that they wasted a lot of time staring out this window. Celeste is on the left, her brother Yoda on the right.

If you look closely, you can see the squirrel saying "PUSSY"

88% Geek and Damn Proud!!!

Kaytabug was giving me a hard time yesterday because I was taking online quizzes, (the results of which can be found to the right). She thought I was being stupid, especially about the Geek one!! I was actually pretty proud of that.

Last night we went to a friends house, she had to tell them about my 88% geek rating and of course in my drunken stupor say oh yeah I could fix your computer for you. Without any hesitation we find ourselves invited over this afternoon for a BBQ and beer (yayy) and computer fixing!!! So yes 88% geek and proud!!!
