arguchiktrust the cosmos to supply you with humbling experiences right when they'll do the most good.

glaucon. lonely, lonely, lonely... as i was de-planing, i saw this kid in front of me with what i thought were two complete leg tattoo "sleeves." they were super detailed and heavily inked, with intertwining black dragons and green jungle-y looking vines. the ink stopped at a straight line at the base of each ankle. then i realized that the really conservative looking woman behind him was his mother, and i thought, "no, he's only like 11 years old...she wouldn't let a kid that young get that much ink...surely those are just really tight leggings..."

yeah...poor me.
whatever.
