Crippie Got Inked!

Hi Everybody!

Crippie is 23!!! I feel older already, my hip popped when I tried to get up this morning. Crippie had a very fun filled weekend. My former roomie can to visit for the weekend. We watched Harry Potter (DOBBY... NOOOOOOOOO), some Holocaust movies (*insert name of protagonist* NOOOOOOOO), several episodes of "Hey Arnold" (ARNOLD'S PARENTS... NOOOOOOOO), several episodes of "Rugrats" (CHUCKIE'S MOM... NOOOOOOOOO) and... um... WE GOT FREAKIN' TATTOOS.
We got matching tattoos of a swan by one of my favorite illustrators, Charley Harper. I opted to get my tattoo on my ribcage area, yup one of the more painful areas to get tattoos. I was fully expecting it to be hella painful. Ultimately I would give getting a small-ish tattoo on your ribcage a 7-8 on the pain scale (for reference I put myself on a 3-4 on the pain scale normally). As promised... PICTURES!

Inspiration for the tattoo

Slightly Better Picture

I'll post better pictures once it actually heals. The whole getting a tattoo experience was oddly fun. My tattoo artist, who kept talking like "Big Gay Al" renamed my condition "Bonyitis", which I might have to steal. We also sang "Puttin' on the Ritz" and discussed the ending to "The Black Swan". So yeah, my weekend was purdy damn awesome. 

Crippie's Tippie- If possible bring a squishy toy for your tattoo session. It's definitely helps with whatever pain you might be in.

Ohai!

I still remember when Nickelodeon had good television shows on it. None of this "Penguins of Madagascar" or "iCarly" crap. In my day there were shows like "Rugrats", "Hey Arnold", "As Told By Ginger" that actually taught kids to be nice. IMAGINE THE THOUGHT! I still remember when the cartoons had actual morals and lessons. Now a days all the shows have back-sassing brat characters with dumb ass parents. Seriously, I think today's television shows help contribute to the nation's bullying epidemic. They teach kids to disrespect their elders and each other. I still remember when TV shows either had the bully get what was coming to them (Rugrats) or showed that the bully was living in a less than ideal situation (Hey Arnold). Now it seems like attitude is the main focus of the character versa heart. I mean Spongebob is still an awesome show, but it's gettin' up there in age. "Fairly Odd Parents" isn't a terrible show, but Timmy Turner should've been taken away by CPS years ago. This all applies to the Disney channel too. Don't get me started on Hannah Montana. 
To summarize, I still remember when children's television shows were still worth watching.

Lolz, I don't have any negativity towards Nickelodeon at all ;).

Crippie's Tippie- The entire series of Hey Arnold as well as other awesome Nick shows are available on www.netflix.com
