A map of the world is infinitely entertaining.
No matter your place of origin, a map of the world is always enough to give you pause,
to make you reflect, imagine, and bow down in the face of something beautiful.
I wish I could say peaceful,
bow down in the face of something peaceful,
but that’s so far from the truth that it makes me wonder if human nature
precludes peace.

If it’s any consolation, this post may offend you less than it makes me feel about 100 years old. Let’s just say that there are three fashion trends that I don’t understand:
1) Fake fingernails that make a woman’s hands look like the ends of a lobster tail;
2) Those trendy horn-rimmed eyeglasses as round as quarters that are supposed to make you look smart. Or like Al Franken; and
3) Tattoos. And if you’re really hip, you call it Body Art. I’m not exactly sure why. Will we see it in the Louvre one day?
I’m also pretty sure that I’m the only person in the entire state of Arizona (with the exception of my mother), who does not currently sport a tattoo. Trust me, I check. You should see the neighborhood gym where I work out; I’m pretty sure the owners are going to revoke my membership if I don’t arrive one morning with something colorful. Soon.
Get tatted.
