Andrew P. Warcraft's Weekly Tattoo Pick
(vol. 2)



Billy left his home with a dollar in his pocket and a head full of dreams.
He said somehow, some way, its gotta get better than this.
Patti packed her bags, left a note for her momma, she was just seventeen,
There were tears in her eyes when she kissed her little sister goodbye.

They held each other tight as they drove on through the night they were so exited.
We got just one shot of life, lets take it while were still not afraid.
Because life is so brief and time is a thief when youre undecided.
And like a fistful of sand, it can slip right through your hands.

Young hearts be free tonight. time is on your side,
Dont let them put you down, dont let em push you around,
Dont let em ever change your point of view.

School Days Are Here Again

I started back at school this week, which means I prolly won't be making it down to Philly for a little while. I did have a real sweet time the last two times I came down though, so I will make more of an effort to come down more then once a season.
While picking up a belt at H and M, I found this display of thongs by the register. And even though the phrasing of the sign struck me as funny, I can't help but hope that the girls at my school picked up some of these "must haves" while doing back to school shopping.

A Bridge






Millau Viaduct
Millau, France

The Millau Viaduct is a work of both engineering prowess and architectural grace. Spanning the River Tam, in the south of France, Millau is a massive piece of infrastructure that appears as light as the fog that puffs across the valley, despite the superlatives that might weigh it down: It's the tallest (1,122 feet) and longest (1.6 miles) multispan cable-stayed bridge in the world.

Its construction took only three years, thanks to a pre-fabrication process in which 2,000 sections of the steel roadway were manufactured off-site, lifted into place, and aligned with the help of a GPS. The technique also allowed for the minimum disruption of the surrounding environment -- echoing the bridge's overall goal of relieving the river valley of traffic while connecting the highway systems of France and Spain. Its remarkably slender profile and the way its graceful span emphasizes the drama of the landscape prove that cutting-edge building technology need not be at odds with the natural landscape.

Denton Tall Tales #15

"Hey Rusty, what you doin' this weekend?" "Cruisin'....."

This was a typical Denton conversation. Cruisin' consisted of driving laps from the McDonalds, hanging a right at the Royal Farm Store, and then turning around at the car wash and repeating. If you passed someone you wanted to talk to then you would “brake” them, which consisted of tapping your brakes. They would see this in their rear view mirror and pull over so you could talk. This is how almost every evening started, parties were planned, and most drugs were bought.

Two other popular weekend activities were, "mud-hoppin' " and "cow-tippin' ".
