Found ma new TAT!


So...i have a few more pics that i forgot to post. They're some quick drawings. Most are of these cool old icelandic magic runic symbols i found. And one of them (the first one) will be my tatoo. Its a symbol for thunder magic and so is associated with both thor and odin and is supposed to have protection and power associated with it....nuf of the new age ramblin though. Thinking of getting it one my back. not too big. and the others...one is a love magic thingy and the other (the circle) is called the helm of awe and is supposed to go on your forhead to protect against bad magic in battle...
BTW-london is great...woke up this morning and it was bright so i thought it was late but turns out the sun doesnt rise at noon here.

Iceland is done. At least for now. And I have to say I am surprised how much I miss it. And a few of the people there. But i figure its never bad to meet good people and its up to you to keep up the relationships that you initiate. Went out for drinks the last night and that left me feeling really good about everything but once I got to London yesterday I was really bitter with it. I was just totally missing Reykjavík which surprised me. But by the end of the day I was good and loving London. They are just such different worlds. I have a bunch of pics here as an ode to my trip to Iceland. I will definitely be back. But here are the pics of what I saw and where I hung out every day….And there is a pic of me taken by a friend in the hostel. I’m on the 7th floor and the bathroom there is out of order. I was deciding if I should just pee in the sink or not.

The last little while was fantastic. Met a relative who is completely insane and directs these world famous ultra violent Viking movies. Got a tour of his house that is junk and old props from movies and a world war 1 bomb all welded together. Wish I had the camera that day. Can’t even try to explain it on here. But he is also great friends with Leonard Cohen who sends him Jewish texts. Not sure why. I found that out cuz he was rambling on and then said out of no where “hey! I did a movie about a Canadian once. But you probably don’t know him…” Funny! And... I visited the first mental institution where apparently my whole family lived cuz my great grandfather was the first psychiatrist in the country. And some of my grandfather’s siblings were talking about who they had crazy people as playmates and what a positive effect that has had on them….it was a cool conversation.
