'...hopelessly bright.'

Sooo...I took an IQ test just now, just for shits and giggles. My IQ scored a 120, which is above average. Not too bad for taking the thing at 2 am. At least I am smarter than our knucklehead president.

Today I thought about quitting tattooing, jumping on my moped, and driving wherever. Ultimately, I aspire to drive to the ocean, bare moped.
No, there's nothing going down at Atom Age. I just thought about how nice it would be to do something really spontaneous and challenging, not to mention, get a vacation out of the deal.

Sarah made me realize that I do need a vacation. One that doesn't involve tattooing, or anyone else for that matter. One that isn't of me scrambling around trying to meet up with people I haven't seen for months in an alloted time of 2 days. One where it can be just me, the sacred elements, and my old gods. Yeah. That has me thinking about possibilities.
I have been feeling particuliarly odd this past week. I'm not depressed, I'm not angry, I'm not sad...I'm just longing. I love what I do, but I seriously need to start seeking out the rest of my tribe. Or at least, awaken their spirits inside me. I can't let other people's disconcern for compassion be the whip that berates me. I will shine through that callousness. I will not succumb to underhanded loyalties or conformity for the sake of comfort.

I'd rather be the crooked tree that bears the most fruit, than than the prettiest blossom that offers no scent.

Over, and out.
