My mom is doing better today! Yay!
But on to the other parental unit. My father is a closed-minded asshole, and I've known this my whole life. I recorded Tattoo Highway last night because apparently I like bad television and my father mentioned it to me today. I stopped him, but he is DISGUSTED with tattoos. And I don't understand. It's not like I'm killing people. (He's also disgusted with gay people, and I have an inner gay man, so I don't agree with that either.) He knows I have one tattoo (I have nine) and I have to hide them from him to avoid a lecture. It just makes me look forward to January when I go back to school and will be back out of "his" house.

i dunno. i've always tried to be pretty tolerant of people - just because they don't agree with me doesn't make them wrong. even in cases like that, where their beliefs really piss me off for the most part. unless they directly have an impact on myself or someone i care about, i generally just try to let it go. and vent my frustration with the shortcomings and failures of the human race in ways other than lecturing people about their empty fucking heads. which, translated to simpler terms, means: i drink a lot and try not to beat the shit out of people
yeah. i'm sure that's healthy as hell.
