Oh, it's not my foot, thank goodness! I'd be OK with havin' a rick tattooed on my bum or shoulder (well, it's a mood thing) but on the foot? I'd be through the roof with pain.

Thanks and no problem. Well since it's here, I might as well explain the significance. I have thought about this ink for about six months now. I tried really hard to find the sheet music for World Leader Pretend, and yes, I have looked everywhere. At any rate I took the lyrics to three shops before I decided to go with the one I did. Originally, it was just going to be the lyrics and then the artist said what about a guitar. I was really not into going there at first, but then my husband got involved and said, it had to be the Ric and yes, I had to do it (more or less). :mrgreen:

I am a huge REM fan and have loved World Leader from the first time I heard it. It speaks to me in a way that a lot of REM lyrics do. In particular, "I sit at my table, and wage war on myself." Well, I do this all the time, I am to blame for everything, etc. "It seems like it's all, it's all for nothing" is my realizing that I do this and learning from it that I can use my energy in a more productive way.

So, the band means a lot to me, the lyrics mean a ton to me and well, the Ric had to be there. Also, can't just have Ric ink, have JetGlo 360 on order :mrgreen:
