Over a year before I started blogging here, I blogged a little on MySpace. I was looking through some of my old blogs and came across this one that I had forgotten about and thought it'd be fun to share. This was originally written on April 18, 2007. Sorry for the format.
I woke up this morning from the phone ringing. It was Michael. His first words were, "are you listening to KDWB"? I wasn't because I was in bed still. He told me that they were talking about me on the radio. I was like, what??? Me, as in me...Dana. Yep, they were!
Dave Ryan and the rest of the morning show had someone in the studio who was there to read tattoos of people who had chinese/japanese kanji characters. Apparently, 70% of these types of tattoos turn out to be a different meaning than what the tattooed person believed it to say or mean. Unbeknownst to me, Michael took the initiative to submit a picture of my tattoos to have her decipher what my tramp stamp really means.
They picked my picture (with a couple of comments about my butt crack) and it turns out that my tattoos pretty much in fact do say what I believed for them to say. I picked my tattoos based on how I live my life, how I achieve to life my life throughout or what I constantly strive to become, with the center focus as me being a woman. I did a lot of research before I got them so I hoped they were correct! It seems like it was hard to interpret word for word as it is with any conversion of languages but here is what she said about my tattoos.
My interpretation of what my tattoos are:
1st-ambition
2nd-persistence/strength
3rd-female/woman
4th-loyalty
5th-discipline/self-discipline
Her interpretation of my tattoos:
1st-determination (same as ambition to me)
2nd-I can't exactly remember what she said but it was close
3rd-female
4th-passion for friends (same as loyalty to me in a small sense)
5th-she had a hard time interpreting this one and she really couldn't put it into words but she did say it was kinda like when the monks study. I am going to interpret that as discipline/self-discipline.
It could have been worse! She could have said that my tats meant nothing or something obscure like elephant or something.
Overall, I thought it was cute and funny that Michael did that. His sister contacted him and asked if that was him that did that and I had a call on my way to work from someone who also heard it and knew that was me they were describing so it was fun that other people besides Michael and I that heard it. Here is a picture of my tattoo close to the one that Michael sent in with a little hint of my coin slot.
