Myself As Another

I’m getting another tattoo. I’ve decided. Probably this summer in Columbus, with my friend, Scott. And I was thinking today (in the shower, actually) about what it should be. I’ve known for sometime that I’d like something on my right forearm. Maybe square, maybe a band. And I’ve know that it’s going to be a long string of binary code. It took me a while to figure out what sequence of numbers I’d like. I’ve figured out that I’d like it to be a set of dates. The births and deaths of my parents. For sure. My own birth date. Today, I started thinking that I’m gonna include the birth dates of my brother and sister, too. A family code. And then I thought about another date that might be missing. But I’ll blog about that one another time.

If it weren’t for my friend Amy, I would have never come across him. And now, well, now… in the darkness there is Will Oldham…
