I am the Walrus. Goo goo g'joob.

I'm reading this book called The Walrus Was Paul: The Great Beatle Death Clues. It's by R. Gary Patterson and if you ever happen upon a copy I highly recommend you pick it up. And then read it. I found it years ago on the bargain table at Waldenbooks. You know the one, mostly crap, lots of art books and occasionally a rare find like this. For those of you who have no idea what I'm talking about referring to the Beatles death clues, there was this big hoax that Paul was dead, which I'm sure you all know about, and the Bealtes played it up by planting "clues" in their music. Every album from Sgt Pepper on is said to have clues proving that Paul was in fact dead and an imposter had taken his place. Most people have heard this story, but this book brings to light some clues that not everyone knew about. It's really very interesting and I actually read it years ago, but it's a fun re-read. You definately need a copy of Sgt. Pepper when reading this book. There are so many clues on that cover I can't even go into it. I remember when I first bought the cd, at Mad Hatter in BG when I was in high school, back when cd's came in the big long cardboard sleeves (for lack of a better word). Do ya'll know what I'm talkig about? Anyway, it had cut-outs on the back and I tried to save them all. I actually had one on my locker when I worked at Camelot, but I digress. I remember buying it and coming home and spending that entire evening looking at the artwork and listening to the album over and over. Good times.

So tomorrow I'm going to Studio 14 with Lynzie while she gets a tattoo. I might be getting one as well, but my one idea I'm sure they would have to draw up ahead of time, so I couldn't get it tomorrow. But I have other ideas and it's just going to be a matter of if I can find a picture there that I love or can change it a little to something I love. I can't believe that I'm saying that, because I've always said you should know what you're going to get when you walk in, but I'm also fine with not getting one and waiting a few weeks to get the one I want. It's really hard to watch someone get a tattoo and not get to go next. But don't worry, I wouldn't get something stupid just to get one. I always have backup ideas that I've been thinking of for years. Maybe I'll get a Beatles one. I've always wanted to, but never been able to think of a design. I've always thought I might get an apple. That wouldn't be too obvious. If you don't know how an apple fits in with the Beatles, well then that just proves my point. Ok, this is getting wicked long, so I'll leave you with this:
