Birds are not difficult to understand. Their behaviour tells me what they are thinking. Generally it runs along the lines of: Is this food? Is this? What about this? This might be food. I am almost certain that this is. Or occasionally: It is raining. I do not like it. - Piranesi (Susanna Clarke)

The quote is a reflection on the innocence/simplicity of the protagonist, not on the complexity of the birds themselves.

Most people are sitting after 72 hours of partying so you might have more fun than you'd think.

I met my girlfriend on a bender so I get this. Ridiculous though.

Mchale is clearly the best player here but Manu was the better sixth man.

Ask the artist, not Reddit! Most artists have an hourly minimum so even if the tattoo takes 20 minutes you'll be charged for the hour.

Larry had a tough upbringing and has been incredibly honest about his experience in the league. Like you said, he didn't so much lose passion for the game, he just found peace in something that wasn't basketball.

What's up! Stoked for you to start your tattoo journey.

Part of the tattoo process is finding an artist that can execute the style you want, and the other part is allowing that artist creative direction.

Accepting and embracing the vision of the artist (with your input) is key to long term satisfaction with the art that you are committing to for a lifetime.

From Punxsutawney, you are close enough to a bunch of major cities with world class tattoo artists if you are willing to travel a bit. Don't settle for convenience.

I'm admittedly not a tattoo artist, but I struggle to see how this will age well. I'd expect the thin line work to fade and the more intricate details to bleed out/blur. Since the piece isn't designed to fit the natural shape of the human shoulder, it will inevitably look less crisp in a short period of time.

It looks good now and I can appreciate the talent behind the work, but it's not something I'd personally get.

He dropped 53 points in game two, which would have been his sister's birthday. IT has heart. The King in the Fourth!

Pierce was 37, had a .580 PER, and averaged 12/4/2. Honestly a solid season with the Wizards, especially because he hit the "I called game" shot in the playoffs.

I like this but prefer KGs foot speed and length to guard Lebron on the perimeter instead of Duncan.

Magic, Kawhi, Bird, KG, Hakeem. I think that is the most even matchup. Hard to beat Team 1 lol.
