To Beat the DEVIL…

its a start… FOR MY NEXT TRICK …I CUT AND PASTE  A SLICE OF TAMPERED HISTORY….

Through treaties with foreign nations and native peoples, political compromise, technological innovation, military conquest, establishment of law and order, and the great migrations of foreigners, the United States expanded from the coast to the coast (Atlantic Ocean-to-Pacific Ocean), fulfilling its belief in manifest destiny.

Pain or damage don’t end the world. Or despair or fucking beatings. The world ends when you’re dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man… and give some back.

Like Grass Before the Sickle

“What was supposed to be this wonderful dream, that the West will unite the South and the North — the West will be the kind of new child who brings this troubled marriage together. The 1850s carry a different lesson entirely, which is that this is the child that will blow up the marriage. That’s the most consequential moment of the West for the nation. That’s where there’s no question about how central the West is to the whole story of the country.”

BLOOD AND THUNDER

I did this tiger tattoo today, i never tattoo tigers , but they seem to be very fun to do. It looks pretty tuff , i think ….. the recipiant of this tiger sat very well especically for his first tattoo.

I am currently awaiting my shipment of new books to read.  I can not wait … hopefully tomorrow they will arrive.
