A bite of the big apple.... with a twist of lemon

Hmmmmm !!!! ???? Hmmmmmm

I've always thought about getting a tattoo. One of them things growing up and the whole "will I...won't I". I'm sure I never would get one for a number of reasons

1) I don't know if I even like them in the first place
2) I don't think I'd have the balls to get one
3) Following on from 2 I'd be paranoid I'd end up regretting it after about a week
4) I don't have the body nor the shape to get one... would look all messed up a stuff
5) I don't think I'd be able to pick on one design and say that's the one. I'd keep changing it...resulting in my never getting it done.

Below though is one I designed myself from bits of other tattoo's I came across on the net. The concept may seem clear and obvious, but like anything (I'm so deep lol) there's more to it that meets the eye in a transformers kinda way.

Party like its 19.....79


Turns out the idea for the iPod came from Kane Kramer who at the age of 23 in 1979 came up with this design for a digital music player. The chip could only play 3.5 minutes of music. Kane could not raise the money to produce his digital music player and he allowed the patent to expire in 1998. The rest is history and millions and millions if not billions and billions in Apples Bank Account.

Guess who.... and it was the early 80's so get over it






A mere 22 years ago..... 11/08/1986

Funny story about that birthday. My mum and dad took me and my two sisters into town as a treat to the park and to a few toy stores (for a look only if I remember right,,,,) and they took us to the Shelbourne Hotel for some cake as they used to do a tea and cake thing (not as a we are rich thing, everyone in Dublin used to do it)... Anyway a man came over a noticed it was my birthday and told my mum and dad some Famous Puppets and Puppeteers were staying in the hotel so the man took me and my two sisters up to see them (again I think my sisters were with me....). Anyway I remember him opening the door very quick into some room and there was a load of puppets in the room. Not only was is freaky as hell looking back a man asking to bring a small boy up to a room to look at puppets sounds like the start of a sick (but funny no doubt) joke.... Good old 1986 when parents just let their kids off.... tell ya !!
