It's almost over.
The day of reckoning, the day where I can look back and look at how many shitty pieces of writing I have compiled in a 31 day month. That day is almost here, and I can't wait.
However, I want to share something really quick, just so I can say I did it.
I have been sitting on a new tattoo idea for a while, and would like to speak it into existence, at least as far as the universe goes. I have told some of my friends and have gained some support, so why not tell some complete strangers and see what comes of it.
For those of you who don't know, because you're strangers, I have 2 ¾ of my limbs tattooed (both arms wrist to shoulder, right leg ankle to knee, and left leg 3 pieces taking up most of the lower half of my leg). All of the pieces of art I have collected on my body are meaningful, and awesome—you should ask to see pictures if you don't believe me! However, each piece has also accompanied me through times of transition, and operate as guideposts for where I was coming from so that I can, hopefully, no repeat history.
For instance, the top of my right arm has been worked on by 2 different artists and still isn't complete. Needless to say I started there when I was 19 years old (18 days after my birthday). It is a landscape of heaven, and needless to say at that point I was trying to figure out what it meant to be a believer. Thus, I added hell to the bottom.
Anyway, this is not about looking back and telling the stories of my current pieces, I want to share with you the idea for the next one.
You see I find myself in a weird spot, in terms of faith. So, here's my idea, picture this:
Jesus.
Riding in a UFO (alien spaceship, most likely a round one with a bubble top).
Sign.
"The Truth is out there!"
Laser beams.
Perfect right? Can you see it? I was thinking to see if the artist could possibly put the picture on a scroll type tapestry so that it looked like an ancient prophecy or something, maybe with the laser beams shooting out of it or something. Not sure on the fine details, but that's the overall idea.
Again, not looking for theological dispute, merely putting the idea out there in hopes that I can one day get up the guts to do it. Now, this is not permission for anybody to steal my idea either, so don't even think about it… or else!
Good night.
Good morning.
Good afternoon.
Good tomorrow.
Tomorrow will be the last day of this project, and so we'll see what happens then.
Until forever…
