Brace yourselves everybody, I have a big announcement to make. Given the difficulty that I have encountered trying to get signatures for my petition I came up with a solution that would not only encourage signatures but show everybody else just how devoted I am to this thing.
If this petition gets 10,000 signatures I will get an Insane Clown Posse tattoo on my body and post the picture here and on my Facebook profile. For right now I am leaning towards the ICP wraith tattoo. If I can get 20,000 signatures I will get an ICP tattoo on my forearm instead, where it's visible.
Why is this also such a big deal? Because I have a very deeply ingrained philosophical opposition to tattoos. I'm a dyed in the wool existentialist, an absurdist if you will. I believe people get tattoos to immortalize things that hold great meaning to them. The thing is though, you can be totally about something right at this moment and the next morning the feeling will be completely gone. The person that you were yesterday is dead now. We are constantly changing as we creep along the crevices of life, like some sort of amorphous ooze.
Hell even after that big whole spiel about black ooze and dying, I can still respect tattoos that people get to celebrate achievements like getting a degree, joining the military, or killing someone.
Despite all of that, I will get the tattoo as a way of commemorating a significant event that I played a large part in. Sure the memory may fade years from now but all of the support of the people who helped make this happen will be there. Every single signature and every single share is truly precious to me and this promise is just one way of showing you all just how much it means to me.
We online miscreants always demand a name and timestamp as a way of showing our authenticity. Well here you go everybody. Stay crazy my friends!
