Now Playing: Lungfish Nothing Is Easy
It has been a pretty insane few weeks around here. Surgery and floods and lots of hard work. I've done heavy lifting of some sort every day for what seems like weeks now...
Things have been so nuts, but the big thing we've been waiting for still has not happened. My wife is having labor induced tomorrow morning at 8AM, so hopefully everything goes well.
I know I've said this before, but I honestly do try to keep things in perspective. The basement flood was such an incredible pain in the ass, but now it's over and there is new carpet and it looks way nicer. Since we are trying to sell this house, "way nicer" is way better. And things could be so much worse. Just read that last post or the headlines on any given day. I know we have it good and I truly feel blessed. A lot of my friends read this and I will keep you all posted on the progress of new baby and baby Momma.
I got this a few weeks ago by Rich at Division Tattoo. He drew it and applied it.
It really fucking hurt. The sternum is a sensitive area. Nothing is easy, right? Irony right there. That tattoo was not easy. The "Nothing is Free" comes from a Kelly Baker slogan and is a play on words. "Nothing is free, that is why so many people have it". That's a little long for a tattoo, but the message is awesome. It works for nothing is easy as well. It's easy to do nothing.
Sean Rakos did some work with Rich at Division before moving back to Texas.
Sean e-mailed me today and said he got a job at respected tattoo shop in Austin, so he is stoked. His wife is about to have a baby too. Rich and Sean did a big piece on Dane a couple weeks ago too. Looked like it hurt. He deserved it. Ha ha.
I've been told that the last day of business at the Modern Novi park is Sunday, May 27th. The very last session there will be a bike session. Get your ride on there while you have a chance.
That's another Kris K photo from the same session I keep posting about. Not bragging because I'm not doing much but I love this photo. Makes an old man happy. It's kind of weird that my favorite park ever is moving right at the same time that I am moving away. They are relocating the park, so don't fret. New location TBA.
You may have noticed a slight change on the opening page of the site with the name, "Deliverance Project". "Clothing Company" has always been a stretch and it's kind of the same deal as the "Team". It just doesn't really fit. Translated, "Deliverance Project" means "Freedom Project", which is alright. This whole project gives me a sense of freedom. Nothing is any different. We're still going to make clothes. It just says Project instead of Clothing Company.
The new short film (is that pretentious?), entitled "Fresh Air Cure" is nearly done and is definitely a Deliverance Project. That's about it for now. Thanks for reading my rants.
