SQUIRREL SHIRT
these posts feel so hollow. who cares how many shirts I have? this whole project was Shawna’s thought. Which makes it that much harder to do. But of all the things I’ve not finished, this will not be one of them. I will see this through.
I’m sorry Shawna. I desperately miss you. This house is empty with you and Tashi gone. But I know we are not right for each other. It doesn’t make it easier tho. I hope you are better than me. I hope you can find happiness.

T-shirt 023 – macromedia
a freebie from macromedia days. Kinda cool.
today would have been our 6 year anniversary… i guess it still kind of is. :(
Say hello to my little friend…
actually Chakik would be my little friend. Say hello to the new tattoo:
You can see the ‘branding’ scars under it, the artist’s concern was with such a mathematically precise design, it would not take properly over the scars. Soooo… i get to come up with some kind of organic/faded image behind it. Thinking some kind of crazy stylized tree right now.
Shirt 22 and Tattoo 2
Minis on the Dragon 06 Official Shirt. Cool Brown color. And my arms before and after work today.
front of MOTD shirt
Back of MOTD 6
I’ll post a pic of the tattoo when its healed. Its a bit higher than I had anticipated, as they couldn’t actually do it over the brand. So now I have to design a cool organic something to put behind it.

New Tattoo – iChing Pi
I’m thinking about getting another tattoo. I want to get the hexagram Pi from the Chinese book of the iChing. Thinking about putting it over the burns on my left arm. I drew it on in blue sharpie to see how I like it.
Seeing how I like it
Here is the meaning of the hexagram:
I-Ching Hexagram 12 – Pi – Standstill
This hexagram is the opposite of the preceeding one [hexagram 11 - T'ai - Peace (11)] Heaven is above, drawing farther and farther away, while the earth below sinks farther into the depths. The creative powers are not in relation. it is a time of standstill and decline. This hexagram is linked with the seventh month (August-September), when the year has passed its zenith and autumnal decay is setting in.
THE JUDGMENT
STANDSTILL. Evil people do not further
The perseverance of the superior man.
The great departs; the small approaches.
Heaven and earth are out of communion and all things are benumbed. What is above has no relation to what is below, and on earth confusion and disorder prevail. The dark power is within, the light power is without. Weakness is within, harshness without. Within are the inferior, and without are the superior. The way of inferior people is in ascent; the way of superior people is on the decline. But the superior people do not allow themselves to be turned from their principles. If the possibility of exerting influences is closed to them, they nevertheless remain faithful to their principles and withdraw into seclusion.
THE IMAGE
Heaven and earth do not unite:
The image of STANDSTILL.
Thus the superior man falls back upon his inner worth
In order to escape the difficulties.
He does not permit himself to be honored with revenue.
When, owing to the influence of inferior men, mutual mistrust prevails in public life, fruitful activity is rendered impossible, because the fundaments are wrong. Therefore the superior man knows what he must do under such circumstances; he does not allow himself to be tempted by dazzling offers to take part in public activities. This would only expose him to danger, since he cannot assent to the meanness of the others. He therefore hides his worth and withdraws into seclusion.

iChing: Song – Conflict
So I consulted my iPhone iChing about my current situation. It showed me:
Song: Conflict
Argument, contention, confrontation and conflict in general.
The trigram representing heaven and that representing water, moving away from each other. The superior person, in accordance with this, in the transaction of affairs takes good counsel about their first steps.
seemed quite appropriate.
