Growing up my brother and I had a bucket of Lego’s and a bunch of Erector pieces. Since those where the only toys we had.. we got really creative. I’m more and more thankful everyday for the “building” blocks they gave me for using my brain.

When I was 19 I went in for my second tattoo… or was it my third….. I had been obsessed over the band Cursive since I heard “Downhill Racers” from their first release “Such Blinding Stars for Starving Eyes” back in 1997. The release of Ugly Organ was groundbreaking for me. I remember going on a 12 hour road trip and listened to the whole thing on repeat. It was not even their lyrics, but their way of structuring a song that kept me listening.
At the time I was seriously perusing a life path in music, and wanted to “brand” myself as such. So how better to do that then permanently inking myself with my favorite album cover on my arm. Did I mention I was 19? I don’t regret it.. But I usually don’t tell people its an album cover, just a “organ” or “piano” because “I like music”. To bad every album since The Ugly Organ has sucked.
