Man my left arm is MUCH lighter now!

One thing I noticed today. Since I can’t wear my big ass half pound+ watch on my left arm during the wrist part of my tattoo process my left arm is much lighter! I don’t think I’ll be finished with enough of my tattoo to wear it for about a month or so. I’m going [...]

Too many moves…

Here I go…

My first step to cutting down / quitting smoking was ordered yesterday. Theresa’s cousin Matt uses these and I tried it on Saturday night. I was shocked that it tasted just like a regular cigarette. I don’t know if this will help me quit or not, but it’s a start and at the very least [...]

New Google Toolbar

I just got access to the new Google toolbar. I am impressed. Below is a screenshot of the toolbar fully exposed. But when it’s not exposed it does offer more screen real-estate than the old toolbar. If you don’t see it yet when you visit Google.com everyone should see it by sometime next week.
