I love the tattoo and the other tattoo ideas you have sound pretty awesome as well. I, too, have a problem wanting to avoid my own thoughts. For one, there are so many thoughts and so much noise in my brain, I feel like I have to feed it sound from an outside source to give it focus. From the moment I wake up, I have a song in my head. No idea where the random songs come from, but each day, I wake up with a chorus in my head and that song will play over and over when there's nothing else for my brain to have as a place holder. I can't stand silence, I make it a point to have music pumping as much as I can or have something on the telly that I can listen to without watching as I do work. I got pretty deep into yoga a few years ago and it was the first time I learned to quiet my thoughts, relax my jaw, and just be...it taught me how to breathe, to really take a deep breathe and let go of all the thoughts and go inward. I still have a ton of work to do to get to a point where silence doesn't make me nervous. My mom said I was a natural born talker because I was always asking questions or giving my opinion on something, but that's just how I'm made...maybe it's just a Pinson thing...I've never met Pinson that didn't have something to say.
