One of my favorite photogs, Langsford, was in town last night from Athens, GA. After he did a shoot at the Troc, we did an old fashioned south Philly bar crawl: O'Neils, Manny Brown, Royal Tavern, The Dive. He even had a couple shots from a set we did about two years ago.

I went to talk to Chad Knight at Boulevard about my backpiece...

Whirlwind of a weekend. Too much to describe in detail, so lets pretend this is a Guy Ritchie movie and fast forward through a bunch of scenes with limited narration

Friday night, terrible snow, gather up the gang. Ian is in town from Brooklyn. The Bros grab a case of beer and meet up with the Girls. It's early, the Girls are tired and want...

I used to be the one that was waiting, waiting, waiting for the time to come to turn my life around. Not that it was horrible; it just needed an energetic spark to place it in motion. It's the difference between having an average job and taking a chance by quitting to find the super-awesome-fun-dance-party job. It's the difference between going over and over some...

Goddamn, I've got the mean reds something fierce. Off to NYC tonight to visit with a few clients and try to make enough for a new tattoo.

Since everyone seems to be sharing in our midwinter doldrums, I decided after half a bottle of Dewer's Special Reserve scotch and listening to Tesla and The Black Crowes all night that I should share part of me as well:

Woot for the weekend!

We closed the Taproom around 2:30 and practically carried Crazy Eddie to a cab and back the the house. Disappointment: no dancers at the Dolphin, Excitement: the food is A+++ at the Taproom...

Woot! The internets have returned to my home. In honor of this prestigious event, here is another observation to sink your tasty brains into:

Complacency:

If life is what happens while you are making plans, then does life not happen if you are not making plans?

Are you happy with your job or with your school? Are you happy with your partner? Are you content...

Philadelphia Tattoo Arts Convention was absolutely amazing. Donovan and I are submitting an article to Tattoo Magazine. My editor is doing a great job on the craziness that I consider my writing style and Donovan is hard at work narrowing down and editing the photos. A huge thanks to all the friendly SGs that humored us with the picture taking and interviewing.

Meanwhile, my home...

I'm going to post some old blogs here to get started. This is because they are still relevant and it gives me a chance to re-edit them. With that said:

What opportunities have you been given? Which ones have you discarded?

I have been asked, "Why Phillyside?" (the business that I have started) for not only general conversation, but also for introspection by friends and...
