The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

I just walked in my house from seeing one of the best movies in my lifetime,
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button starring Brad Pritt. Laughter, sadden, love, forgiveness, and life, all of these feelings full this movie. It will make you look at your life and be thankful for everyone that has crossed your path. I thought back of my life back home in Asheville, NC and all the people who molded me into the man I am today. From the artist to the drug dealers, to my grandmothers and her friends to the drunks and dope fiends who walked the streets at night I'm thankful and blessed to have all of them in my life. That movie was beautiful, and I can't really put words to it, just GO SEE IT for yourself. If your a lover of good writing, a beautiful love story, human nature, and of course characters who will stay in your minds for forever this is for you....it's pure beauty on screen, ART on film. If you loved The Color Purple or Forest Gump you will add this movie to your collection.

Goodbye......

Have you ever loved someone enough to know when it's time to let that person go so they can be happy with someone else? Love is an emotion words can not explain. It feels good and it hurts like hell. Over time love changes and people grow apart. You just want to see them smile again even if your no longer the person making them smile. You just want to see them happy again no matter what. Love is letting them go so they can grow as a person and to do their own soul searching. Maybe another person can put their heart at ease and their mind at peace. Goodbyes are painful..and birth is painful but needed...BOTH are needed.

Now taking Appointments!! I have openings!!!!

I now have openings for the end of 08...and some in 2009.

The Recession, Xmas, and Single Parents

I just wanted to spread some love to ALL the single mothers and fathers on the grind hustling hard to give their children a Merry Xmas.

I remember seeing my mother work 2 and 3 jobs just to make sure me and my brothers and sister have a good Xmas full of gifts. Now it's a recession and times are even harder. Rent, bills, and gifts for the children can make any parent stress out. But keep your head and spirits up, times will get better. Pray for the other families who couldn't even have Xmas. Be thankful for the little that you do have.

So all the single mothers and fathers, I thank you for be strong and maintaining in these troubled time. Stay strong for your children, and teach them its not all about gifts but about family, pride, honor, and LOVE.

Many blessings, from Miya Bailey & City of Ink

Stic Man (Dead Prez) Speaking on Obama and America

I remember buying the first Dead Prez cd in the 90's and I was in love with the message. Years later Tuki tattooed Stic Man over at City of Ink. I later met Stic through my brother Mike Flo (of The RBG Family). I will be tattooing Stic VERY soon and I will post the photos for yall. I have been curious to hear what Stic had to say about Obama.. I know Mike's opinion on the new prez elect. So I was hoping they would give the brother a chance to prove himself in office first..here is a video I found today and it's always good to hear Stic's opinion the world, America, our black, the struggle...and of course a blackman winning the election...so here you go...UHURU!!!
