What kind of sword, that in itself could also create another depth of meaning.Spanish/ pirate Cutlass, roman gladius, katana, or my personal favorite Japanese sword pistol:

Or it could be a bayonet if you had family that served in any wars. Normally if you have anything slightly cultural in your family history, or like a certain area all you have to do is type that region into google and add swords right after it. Part Inuit, they have pretty neat bone spears instead of sword. India has pretty epic swords as well.

Its really person by person. For me, i didnt eat anything at all and went if for an all day, 5 hours of color on my back. I didnt have anything to eat the entire day until i got back to my house at like 9 at night. i didnt have a problem at all, but i did notice i felt like i was sick later that night, like my body was like ohhhhh shittttt what did you do that i need to fix now?

And for breathing? I did this weird hold it in and tighten up by the third hour i guess just to brace myself because i had been there, just sitting on a chair hunched over a bit for so long. I most likely should have brought something to do, but all three times i just sorta sit there, half listening to the movies that are on because the tv is higher and i cant look up…

I would say prepare for the worst, eat everything short of exploding, take something to do, and an ipod. That way you got your body full, eyes set on something else, ears focused elsewhere, and that should be good enough, otherwise i wouldn’t get anything done. 😀

it 100% depends. I play to win, and wish to kill retarded teamates all the time but with all fo the annoying voices, i have it set up differently.

I dont go online alone just to play because thats boring so most of the time i am in a party where you can only hear my friends, but the game chat comes through the tv, so just in case someone says something important i can hear it. Other than that its 90% screaming and yelling because people act like they have baseball sized tumors in their brains. Arguing or telling them anything never ever really helps. I think with halo reach they will have settings where you can search for games where people are there to win, have a good time and whatnot so that may help. I am in maryland and have friends all over the us i play with so even though we all speak english, accents are annoying, then you have terms only people playing the game know about. If they arent my friends, 90% of the time i mute them or ignore them, or go out of my way to argue with them. Politic arguments, fun stuff like that where no one wins.

Always fun to argue online, most kids know that they are safe and no one can stop them because it is online. We have learned that if you play mid-day here, we get all the loud noisy british kids that arent that great compared to midnight here where all the no life american gamers get on. Theres a reason why most games say online interactions not rated…

I play mainly 3 games and rack up decent game hours for them. cod4 is like 12 days, halo 3 like 15 days, codmw2 (joke of a game) like 5 days, but those are the only games i play during the entire year so its not that bad….

awww crap you have to be 21. Makes sense seeing as its for an alcohol ad. Otherwise i would enter for the hell of it, seems like my phoenix and dragon could work nice for that…

I started in November after over a year of trying to figure out exactly what I wanted. From the beginning I looked as getting a tattoo as another art form that I can express myself like no one else could.

Since November my phoenix has gotten a friend, but most people only see a dragon and phoenix fighting/ in conflict, but to me it’s what each one represents. The easiest way for me to explain what it means to me is that they represent my personal ying yang/ past and future. It sounds silly but the phoenix is my past, and dragon my future. I feel that you can’t create your future if you simply forget your past, because your past is what molded you into who you are now. So for me living on a “farm” breeding chickens since I was five was one of the most important things that happened to me. I have made so many friends since then and because of that I couldn’t imagine what I would do without those birds. So since I have a had a phoenix as a pet I knew I had to combine the typical mythological phoenix with my phoenix.

Now since I have been in college for 2 years, I have learned a lot about how I need to work on creating a future. So looking for a way to represent my future was sorta simple- a dragon. I had seen a few pictures of phoenix/ dragon fighting tattoo’s and looked into what the represented. With the simple dragon definition of power and excellence it made sense. Me dealing with college to create a future, while remembering my past is extremely important to me personally. So now i have an amazing backpiece that shows that.

I just tell people its just a fancy personal yingyang rather then confuse them.
