30 Day Introspective Challenge
13. Have you been the kind of friend you want as a friend?
Yes, I believe so.
The people who matter in my life are extremely appreciated and know that they can call, text or e-mail me any time if they need anything at all. In general, I treat others how they treat me because if you place expectations on individuals, you are only setting yourself up to be...

12. Would you rather be a worried genius or a joyful simpleton?
Joyful simpleton - that way the most inane things would keep me endlessly amused and I would not fall prey to my own thoughts.

Should have never accepted that friend request from my ex. Mysteriously, I cannot find him on my friend’s list now, nor in the FB search. Does that mean I am blocked? Way to show the maturity.
My biggest concern is that I foolishly granted him access to Decadence and Deviance, which received a surge in page views. There are at least a dozen entries that received a single view which I...

There are only eight more days to donate to Aesthetic Evolution, and while I was not expecting a huge flood of support, I am severely disappointed that not one donation has been made.
Perhaps I have not annoyed the Internet enough, but pardon me for having a life and planning a wedding.
Things like this just reinforce the reasons I do not go out of my way to support other people’s events....

Why do we modify?
For thousands of years, human kind has been altering the physical state of the body, utilizing tattoos, piercings, scarification and other means as marks of identification, be they for ritualistic, spiritual or beautification purposes. In an era where one can willingly lend the flesh to permanent change, there comes this question that holds a plethora of answers.
Aesthetic...

Dear Bitter, Jealous Individual
Really appreciate you leaving a public comment on one of my Decadence and Deviance entries accusing me of “never having an original thought”, plagiarism and generally “regurgitating” information. Considering that the majority of the entries on said blog are archived entries of life experiences, perhaps you can link me to the places that I am supposedly stealing and or...

A Night of Live Performance Art →
For the next month I am going to be working on costuming and my act for this because I will accept nothing but the best from myself. Should have my business cards printed by then, because I plan on networking as though my life depended on it.
Not to mention that I will be sharing the stage with some incredibly talented and beautiful people, including a notable name in the body modification...

Just logged into FB for the first time in weeks and find that my first ex wants to be my ‘friend’.
Really dude? Did you not get the hint the last time I saw you and told you that there would never be anything between us?
Did you also forget how you flipped your shit on me over something silly? You reminded me of all the reasons I escaped as far as I could from you, yet you still...

11. Are you holding onto something you need to let go of?
More like someone, and I have had long debates with myself over whether or not I necessarily “need” to let him go.
In the past, I had a really hard time letting things go. If someone did something to hurt me, I not only wanted to make them aware of it, I demanded an apology because I felt that...

That’s good at least, so when you have a full piece it will look amazing and her’s can remain a cheap rip off.
Pretty much. Do not understand what motivates people to do things like this. If the design had been put anywhere else on the body I would not have even given it a second thought.

I wasn’t trying to say she is right for doing it. I was just trying to make it seem a little better.
Which is greatly appreciated. =D
parisisoncam replied to your post:
this is why i never show off actual featured pics of my tattoos. it would be pretty depressing to find that out.
It is a shame that anyone should have to feel that way, thought this is not nearly as bad as the time where someone told me they wanted the same exact name banner that I have. Thankfully that never came to fruition, but just the idea that people...
veryfabulouscupcake replied to your post:
You can honor without ripping off… I feel like people use the “imitation is the best form of flattery” as an excuse to just steal someone’s ideas
Very much agree. It’s not like there are a lot of sword swallowers to begin with, and s very small percentage of those are female. My piece is quite prominent, and I am not saying that she saw the and...
hobohiatus replied to your post:
That sucks. I did a quick search and saw it. You know that you had it first, she is just trying to be like you. Imitation is the best form of flattery, but I can understand your frustration.
So the saying goes, but I fail to see the flattery in this situation. At least I can take comfort in the fact that my tattoo is something I wear with pride and will always...
veryfabulouscupcake replied to your post:
Boo hiss on them
Indeed! Makes me want to post pictures of mine now to fill up the sword swallowing tag so this person can see it and know they are just a lame copy.

Someone totally decided to steal the idea of having a sword tattoo on the neck. It is not an exact copy of mine, but I have had it since 2007 and never saw any other performer with one. Until now.
Very tempted to name and shame, though sadly no one would care.
There is a huge difference between being inspired by a design and completely ripping off someone’s original idea that was custom...
