represenTATION

I think its funny how everything has to have a meaning, most everything. I recently got a lip piercing, and it means nothing to me, I just wanted it. But I didnt want any mixed connotations of what it means, so I was forced to google 'what piercings mean' (after getting the piercing...of course...Quite the afterthought). My favorite answers by google were - "no, but piercings can mean youre a slut." "Yes, they can reflect self expression or even honor something (someones life, death, struggle, or success)." HAHAHA. Im sorry - but if youre that desperate to define everything, youre crazy. I guess if youre going to get a tattoo of a big cross on your back saying 'GOD, youre the man.' ....Most people can guess the meaning behind that. If you feel that getting that tat will open heavens doors, more power to you. But I dont, and I think thats a trend that will look wrinkly and awkward at age 32.

Im not fond on meaning. I dont want to get trapped in something by representing it. I like wearing bandannas but im not in a gang, I cant play guitar but I found a pick on the laundry room floor...now i carry that in my pocket (occasionally), im not goth but I like my fingers black, i hate baseball but love the jerseys, Im not smart but I wear glasses (jokes on you---i am smart), etc. etc.

Good luck removing that dumb fucking tattoo you had to get. asshole.
