I got a signature line... you might like?
"Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather, to skid in broadside thoroughly used-up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming: WOW WHAT A RIDE!!!!"

Nice! It gets fairly boring to just preserve stuff after awhile. Better to use it!

a similar line is tattooed all over the bottom of my back... love the energy behind this quote.
"Life should not be a journey with the intent of arriving in a well-preserved body. Skid in sideways, dark chocolate in one hand, red wine in the other, body thoroughly used and thrilled by the ride."... the tattoo on my back

I think I saw the quote attributed to the late, great gonzo journalist "Dr."Hunter S. Thompson (the inspiration for the character Duke in Doonesbury, ifyou know it)--if so, he certainly lived it!

That must be some tattoo! Is there anyway you can post a picture of it. I would love to see how they did it. I won't get one myself... but I just wonder how they got some many words on you. Ya know? Originally Posted by lilikoi
