We spent date night seeing one of our new favorite comedians do a live stand-up show. And his opening bit boiled down to this: "Don't listen to comedians." As in, don't take everything people say at face value; take it all with a grain of salt. It's comedy, for crying out load! These are jokes! Maybe we all need to keep that in mind on the daily when we find ourselves taking everything so seriously and finding offense in everything people (especially comedians) say. It's amazing what you can learn about someone just by talking to them.

We talk a lot about how things used to be, what we miss about the past, and what life looked like before it started getting in the way. And, well, we're sort of doing it again. This time we're looking back fondly on where we used to be and realizing that our personal evolution can really be the best thing for each of us. Won't stop us from remembering what life used to be like, though. And it certainly won't dim any of the good memories we've held on to. It's amazing what you can learn about someone just by talking to them.

That's a wrap on another tattoo con! We're sore and tired and still trying to get our bearings. But you know what's weird? It really wasn't that crazy a weekend. We usually come back from these shows and can't stop talking about the funny encounters and celeb sightings we had, but this time... It was all just kind of flat. Like a farmer's market but with more half-naked people. And that's what we're talking about. It's amazing what you can learn about someone just by talking to them.
