On The Mend... On The Way To The ER.

Let me give you a little play by play. I have had bronchitis for almost 3 weeks. This weekend was the first weekend I actually felt pretty good. I still have a moderate cough, but its tolerable. I was excited to go to church this morning. I saw many friends that I haven't seen in a while. All of them asking how are you doing?? I gave them the same answer I always give I just said been doing fine. Not wanting to burden anyone else with a story of coughing my lungs out and feeling like poopie for weeks. I shook their hand and went on about my day. Heres the ironic part. I told someone this morning I think I'm finally getting better. Well, guess what I'm laying in a bed at Harris hospital with pain in my ribs. I'm waiting for them to perform a EKG and an Xray. This is quite frustrating to say the least. I'm thinking about the sermon I heard this morning about how trials show our true character. So how much longer until my true character is going to show??
Because I'm getting a little tired of waiting on this trial to finish.

Miami Ink, L.A. Ink, Flaco Ink

Most of you know that I have a tattoo. If you didn't know you do now. My tattoo is on my right shoulder. Its of three joining rings with the word THR33. My tattoo has great meaning to me. Its a symbol of a bond between my two bothers and I have with one another. All three of us have the same tattoo in the same place. I really like things that have great meaning, espescially things that are going to be permantly on my skin. I have been wanting to get another tattoo for years. I have even come up with several designs, but have not done anything yet. Both of my brothers have gotten other tattoos. Even my wife has multiple tattoos. I just can't decide what I want to stamp on my body. I have several things that I would like to have tattooed that tell a story. I also have some ideas that I think are just cool. I just can't decide if I should get something fun or meaningful. With me being so "lean" or "fat challenged" I'm limited in where and how many tattoos I
can get. I am pretty sure that I will be getting a large tattoo on my back and perhaps one on my forearm. If I get both of them I will have to be done because I will have no more room. How many of you have tattoos that are very meaningful and how many of you have tattoos that are just fun tattoos?? I'm putting my email addy on all my posts now so feel free to comment here or by email. This post I'm sure is probably the most boring post I have ever written but hey sometimes I'm boring. This was just me thinking in text.
