My New Scar

Koi Tattoos

According to Japanese legend if a koi succeeded in climbing the falls at a point called Dragon Gate on the Yellow River it would be transformed into a dragon. Based on that legend, it became a symbol of worldly aspiration and advancement.

More generally, the Japanese associate koi (also known as carp) with perserverance in adversity and strength of purpose. Because of its strength and determination to overcome obstacles, it stands for courage and the ability to attain high goals.

Others say it means good fortune or luck.

Today was the the day that I never thought would happen. I finally got my tattoo done. I went to Black Ink Gallery in Harlem and I decided to get the Japanese Koi Fish tattoo because ever since I was laid off I have persevered and decided to make my own destiny. I have been happier and more motivated than ever. I’ve met a lot of people in the past year and hopefully will continue to make more friends and connections. it hurt like hell but it was well worth it. And now I am going to get addicted to this now.

Really New Jersey Nets…FML

Scored some really close tickets to see the Nets play the Bucks last night (See Above.Thanks Ken). Let’s just say that I had to find out who won when I got home. 107 to F**king 78…NETS are you serious. My first time in the Izod center, my first Nets game, GREAT SEATS and this is how you gonna do me.

Ended up going up higher to sit with Ken, Stacey, Bryelle and Dillon still great seats but…yeh..lol. This game was the worst. They were getting raped the whole game and the best part of this experience was literally everything in between them bouncing the ball. SMH

This is me angry that I left during the 3rd Quarter… GRRRRR

I may do a little contest for you, The Loyal Viewers, to get a chance to go to the Nets vs Bobcats game. I just checked and its Section 2 , row y, seat 11 which is even closer than where I was.
