What I really want…

Monday, March 16th, 2009

As some of you know I have a tattoo. Yep, that’s right Jon Lillie has a tattoo!!!! It is a custom design, a celtic cross with tribal flames coming out the sides. It sits on my left arm, about half way up between the elbow and shoulder.

So by now you must be realizing what it is that I really want… I want another tattoo!!! I’m thinking of a half sleave or my entire shoulder on my right side. But the issue comes up as to what to get.  I’m thinking of a tribute to my grandfather who died in June, a war veteran, and a man whom I will never forget.  So far I have an idea of a flag at half mast, with his name and the date of his birth/death. But beyond that I am a little lost as that will not take up very much space I think.  I want one that is reverent, and meaningful to me.

Some of you may be thinking, “where did this come from?” It isn’t a new thought or want, I have wanted a second one since the day I got my first one. They are that addicting.  But the cost, lack of know exactly what I want, and the lack of know a quality artist I can trust to be healthy and safe when it comes to putting something permanently on my body. Yes, getting a tattoo can be dangerous… infection, disease, and the like is possible. That is why it is good know who your artist is and that they can be trusted to do what you have asked of them.

If you guys have any ideas please feel free to post them… and “do not get one” is not acceptable, sorry.

25 Things That Scare Me

Sunday, February 15th, 2009

This is a variation on the 25 random things you always see on Facebook. I thought it would be cool to do a completely random thing and come up with a new 25 things… post.   These are in no particular order, just how I thought of them.

  1. The dark
  2. Snakes
  3. Heights
  4. Drowning
  5. Deep water
  6. Being alone for another holiday season
  7. Rejection
  8. Being stuck in a life I don’t want
  9. Hell
  10. Dieing and not having anyone at my funeral
  11. Being eaten alive
  12. Finding out everything I know is a lie
  13. Planning a party and no one showing up (this actually happened once)
  14. Having my birthday forgotten (also happened once)
  15. Running out of gas in the middle of no where
  16. Finding myself homeless
  17. Losing someone’s respect
  18. Making a bad first impression
  19. Failing at life
  20. Living the movie Open Water (but I’m still a certified open water diver)
  21. Flying
  22. Dieing of a Heart Attack before I’m 30
  23. Not getting to see all that I want to see of this world
  24. Still living at home when I’m 30
  25. Losing my job

There are 25 honest things that scare me or cause me to pause in my day, and lead me towards certain decisions and away from others.

Today was a strange day…

Saturday, October 4th, 2008

I was planning on getting up at 9:30 and mow the lawn, maybe do some dishes, but I finally rolled out of bed at 11:45.  Had a haircut an hour later so that killed any idea of starting the day with chores.  I got to my haircut on time, and prepared to have some fun. I love my stylist, name is kate, does good work. I had decided on some color earlier in the week, but as I normally like to do some funky stuff with my hair these days I left it up to her as to what color. Oh, Boy!!! I ended up with more red than brown in what I was told was an auburn, I’m hoping some washes out tomorrow, but we will see.  Got home, and finally got some chores done.  Payed my dad the final 400 bucks for a computer I bought (with my parents help) back in February. Ordered some pizza and sat down to enjoy a movie at home by myself. NOTHING WAS ON THOUGH!!! and so I found myself sitting on a couch with half a bottle of wind gone watching NCIS, and eating hot wings from papa johns, woot. What a night, lol.

Now as I wright this I’m listening to one of the best songs I have heard in a long time, In Color by Jamey Johnson. It ROCKS!!!

I think so much when I watch TV…

Saturday, July 26th, 2008

Well, it’s 1 am and I am sitting downstairs watching a new show called Flashpoint for the third time. That’s 3 episodes in a row.  Anyways I sitting here watching this show witch has Amy Jo Johnson playing a promenant support role, and I am thinking that she is still as cute as the first time I saw her playing the pink ranger back with I was a kid… my how time flies.

I am also thinking about how much I depend on having friends in my life since most of them are in Costa Rica on a missions trip with the high school group of Ocean Hills Church.  I have also been thinking, scary huh?, that I have been hanging out with people that I work with for too long, I have no other “friends”. No one outside of work that I hang with.  Which means that of all the jobs I have had over the years, I have made no lasting relationships with anyone…. kinda sad. But I am young and life can be long, so I buck it up and move on.
