sub-culture

I find myself obfuscated by certain realisations in the past few days. Little did I know that tattoo subculture was so pervasive. It's like every second person displays it as one might whip out their Iphone in a casual setting, or Macbook in a lecture theatre. This was at a sit-down birthday party though. When did this happen? Why is everyone getting them? Why is the guy who is admitting to having a fake one telling me that he's getting a real one in two weeks? And, woah, that guy doesn't have much bare skin left on that arm thing. hrrm
If this is indeed a growing trend, there certainly is money in it and quite some potential. Perhaps business-minded readers might like to comment on the prospects of a chain of stores with these kind of services.
Before this I thought the next biggest realisation was the amount of preparation required for a job interview. Typing out all answers, trying to think out random ones, etc. hah
Anyway, I've been cycling a bit more and cars are annoying. One stopped perpendicular to traffic flow on Canterbury Road in Box Hill. Just as I'm trying to power up this hill, I find a lady in a convertible reversing out due to some problems in parking. There's another person trying to turn into the driveway coming down the hill and someone trying to get out of the driveway.
