what's your sign?

I've never been good at choosing something that symbolizes me. For eons, I just knew I wanted have a tattoo.. The difficulty for me became where to put it and what it should be. You want it to be unique but what's the point of being unique if nobody sees it? More importantly, what would I want people to see that would tell them something about me? Do I want to be known as cool, intelligent or funny and is there a way to combine all of them? So, here I sit, a tattoo virgin and I am so thankful for my decision based on indecision.

Everyone is so worried about image. Don't get me wrong, it is important. You are judged on that before you ever open your mouth but the ones so worried about image are the ones screaming their opinions from the rooftops. Wasn't Bambi taught," if you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all"? So, if that is the case, why are there a million t-shirts and bumper sticker that say inappropriate things? Sorry, but "Bitch on wheels" does not give me a good impression of you, especially when I see your car in the parking lot at daycare. Not really wantin' to be your friend, honey.

All of this and more came rushing though my head this morning when I saw something that made my day. The car in front of me had the back window decal-ed as follows:

God Bless America
and
Have a Nice Day

After just chatting with a friend about being frustrated with the way people drive, I thought after I saw this that I didn't care how slow he was going, he made me smile.
