I never really considered myself a bad influence. Well, right now, one mother is probably thinking I am. Several weeks ago, Rick approached me with questions about piercings. He said he was thinking of getting his eyebrow done. I told him I would take him to my piercer Josh at Exotica Body Art Studio. After that, it was only mentioned here or there. I figured he decided not to do it.

Well, today was the day. We payed Josh a little visit and Rick got some metal installed. Of course, like I told him repeatedly, it did not hurt. He is very happy with his new discovery of body modification, although I think it might be a while before he delves into the Labret he talked about or some ink. We shall see.

   Congrats, Rick. Nobody will every mistake you for a heterosexual male ever again. ;-)

   Now, now. Body modification is an art for all sexes, colours, races, creeds and sexual orientations. I know plenty of well-adjusted straight males who have eyebrows, nipples and other unmentionables pierced.

   You wanna get something done, Matt? :-D

   No thanks, I wouldn't look good with piercings of any kind. I've thought about it before, but it's like me not shaving — it just doesn't look right.

   BTW, Rick, I'm not sure if you noticed, but when they pierced you they missed your right ear by about 4 inches there, buddy.

   You're right. I should respect Rick's right to his homosexuality. I'll just accept the fact that he is gay and move on.

   Now now, if we stir up Rick then we have to let him out of the profanity box and look where that got us, God Dammit.

   Way to Ricky looks Great.

   Yeah, I'm just trying to lure him out of his cave ;-)

   Cool, rick. Getting a first piercing takes some balls. Congrats.

   For shame, we ought to leave Ricky alone in his coming out phase. I mean, his self-expression. No really, it looks nice. I am not going to do anymore bashing. A guy at work said to me one day last week — in regards to the one guy in the store we all hate — "If you'd stop hating him for a second you could probably find a reason to like him." And I took those words to heart.
