That, friends, is a tattoo like none other. You wouldn’t have to worry about showing up somewhere and seeing someone else with it. Then again I’m just not too sure how many people want a tattoo of a dolphin in a worn out La-Z-Boy. Oh, the dolphin also has a tattoo.
I’m going for a new tattoo on Sunday. Eddie says it is going to take a while, too. I’ve never put in more than about 90 minutes on a single tattoo and I usually get antsy and bored near the end. Not sure how I’ll be able to handle what I figure will be 3-4 hours of tattooing but it’s going to be fun to find out. Luckily for Eddie, I am basically a big kid so he can just start waving a stuffed animal around to recapture my attention if it should come to that.
And yes, there will be pictures soon. It’s some Wall of Ink type stuff for sure. If you haven’t seen it yet, you will definitely be blown away or you will definitely think I am an idiot. Probably a 50/50 split on that one.

Other than tattoos, there isn’t a lot going on in the world, and when I say the world I mean my life because I’m self-centered. Really, though, I’ve been entirely boring the last couple of weeks and I don’t like it. Do you really want to read tales of me sitting on the couch watching TV with the likes of Chloe and Moike? Do you really care to find out how interesting it is when I go to lunch with Matt and Fatboy? That one actually is interesting, but most of what is discussed at lunch isn’t fit to be printed anywhere – even on the Internet. It’s too bad, really. I sort of feel bad for the people sitting around us at a place like Monterrey.

One interesting development is how much I’ve been called out around Greenville recently. I do enjoy it way more often than not and it seems like I can’t go anywhere without someone knowing who I am. What that means is this whole P1 Family thing is working because you guys are out spreading the word and your friends are listening and telling their friends who tell people you probably don’t even know. So thanks for that. It’s nice to have friends everywhere I go. I enjoy a nice conversation when I am getting coffee at the Spinx downtown. I also really love talking to people who know all about me while I know nothing about them. Someone reading this has probably experienced what I do. I always turn the conversation around to me asking them lots of questions and I seem to sketch people out doing this. It’s like they don’t expect me to start asking me all about what they do. A lot of people know everything about me from what I had for breakfast to what I think about the problems in the Gaza Strip so I want to know all about being an accountant or a construction worker or a taxi driver and what accountants and construction workers and taxi drivers eat for breakfast and think about the problems in the Gaza Strip. Then it degenerates to fart jokes because those are at the core of every positive interaction.

Oh yeah. Sports. There’s no fighting to talk about since I genuinely didn’t care about Georges St. Pierre-BJ Penn this past weekend. I should’ve. Didn’t. Too many good fights lately. The glut killed that fight for me.
That said, you’re expecting my thoughts on Michael Phelps smoking pot.
That said, I’m going to do a paragraph or so about how LeBron James is awesome.

52 points, 10 rebounds, 11 assists. One of the most awesome statlines in the history of sports. The first 50-point triple-double since Kareem did it in 1975 – before the merger. Also the second player ever (Michael, obviously) to drop 50 as a visitor at Madison Square Garden. He also became the fastest player ever to 12,000 career points. Barely 24 years old. In a perfect world, we get another 12 years or so of LeBron being the best player in the NBA so here’s hoping the championships start coming in so people will get off Kobe (61 points, 0 rebounds, 2 assists) and realize the LeBrons and Dwight Howards of the world are more valuable assets who do with really poor supporting casts what Kobe could never do when he was the only all-star in Los Angeles.
The best example I can give is this: LeBron has a 39-9 team with Wally Szczerbiak playing a lot of minutes every night and Sasha Pavlovic starting. Who the hell is Sasha Pavlovic? One more reason LeBron is the most valuable player in the NBA now or since the end of Jordan, even if a dude named after steak gets the trophy.
