Tim’s Ramblings

I forgot to write about this.

Yesterday, when I got to Newark International Aiport and went down to the immigration area, it was PACKED. I mean, I haven’t seen it that bad in a while.

However, as I was in the US line (gotta love the green card), it was moving in a decent pace. I eventually got up to the window and handed the immigraiton officer the passports and such. This time it went smooth. I didn’t get interrogated. I didn’t get harrassed. No attitude. All was well.

Except this time, as he was wearing a short sleeve shirt, while he was flipping through my passport and scanning my greencard, I noticed his tattoo. He had both forearms tatted up. And on close inspection I realized the guy had all 7 deadly sins tattooed in elaborate script style around both forearms. 3 on one and 4 on the other.

Holy shit.

The ones I actually saw were Lust, Envy, and Greed. Partially “Pride” (basically the “ide”) and I assume “Gluttony” (the “Glu”).

Now, I have nothing against tattoos. Nothing against people having this type of tattoo. But for some reason seeing it on an immigration officer seemed…interesting. Kinda like if you saw it on a doctor or cop.

Or maybe it’s just me….

Is it?

All I know is, I walked away going “…huh….”

Just an interesting observation.

I have now, at the urgings of J and M, joined Facebook.

I have been told that, unlike when I joined MySpace, I don’t have to followup this statement with “and I’m not a pedophile!!!”.

But just so I can feel like I’m popular, if you know me, and you’re on it, friend me? (^_^)

I’m now have my own blog, LiveJournal, MySpace, Facebook, and Mixi. I’m not 15. I swear!!!

On a different note, I’m back. Yay! I’m jetlagged. Boooooo. But I had brunch at Melt (never been there before) and it was a great time. And I have dinner plans tonight. Yay.

But MAN…do I NOT want to go to work tomorrow…. Ah well…
