Belly button logic

I saw this story on the Today show about how the placement of one’s belly button, whether high or low, will determine swimming and running ability. A higher-placed belly button makes for a better runner, a lower-placed one makes a better swimmer.

So, you tell me:  is it high or low?

Wearing my heart on my sleeve (or my turtle on my back.)

I recently landed on a post by BusyDad about his tattoos and the story behind them. Inspired me to want to tell you about my own tattoos and their stories. I have 3 of them (or 4 or 5, depending on how you look at it), and like BusyDad, I like that I can easily [...]

As a graphic designer who does custom commissioned work, my job is to listen to my clients and create designs based on their wants and needs. I am not a puppet reproducing the work exactly as they request it; I am adding my own style to each piece and making certain that the pieces are [...]

Tattoos on a Saturday afternoon

Your vision is one in the making three years of thoughts you talk of third eyes and Egyptian symbols I don’t even pretend to understand I offer my hand but you don’t need it say it doesn’t even hurt but it knocked the world out of me She walks in without a plan but by [...]

It was in the middle of her bedroom, my grandmother’s Singer Sewing machine. She never used it, not that I know of anyway I used to check the color of the spindle thread for years it was tangerine later faded to peach I always wondered why her sewing table had a gas pedal like the [...]
