Get High On Life

Prior to traveling to Florida, I was chatting with J.J.  He slipped out of the dorm and passed the fence that separates him from us and talked about his love......his love for the Florida sun, the heat, the beach.....more specifically his love for saltwater.  He stopped and told me to watch his mother when we were in Florida.  He said that I would see her on the beach, the sun would set, and I would see her smile.  She would be home.  He explained to me that he has the same spirit as his momma.  He said, "We are Saltwater Junkies."

He paused.  And said it again.  Saltwater Junkie.  But the second time he added "Get high on life."

He drew this for himself and his momma.  I decided to do something with it.



There was a day that J.J. was an addict.  A junkie that chased his next high.  Those days are in his past.  Today he gets high on life.

Tell us about you!  Leave a comment here and you will be registered to win a SALTWATER JUNKIE bumper sticker!  C'mon......tell us....what brings you joy?  True happiness that makes you get HIGH ON LIFE!

Some Bad News. Some Good News. Some Bad-Ass News.

The bad news?  The Judicious Jailbird is sadly in confinement.  There is no information why (for those that may inquire).

The good news?  Confinement provides air conditioning and J.J. has a break from his food service job....hosing down 1,200 - 1,500 trays with steaming hot water, during the steaming heat of summer during the not-so glorious hours of 2a to 11a.  

The bad-ass news?  J.J. is also known as the Tattoo'd Hooligan (this is his artist name).  We invite you to like the Tattoo'd Hooligan on Facebook!  There will be Tattoo'd Hooligan merchandise for sale at www.tattoodhooligan.com featuring his art one day. One day when the Tatoo'd Hooligan is a free man.  Yep, some bad-ass news friends. 

**Please remember that J.J. spends his time writing posts and drawing art in efforts to do his time in a productive way.  J.J. is not able to benefit from these sales.  BUT, it DOES bring him a ton of happiness to know that people enjoy his art.  Additionally, it DOES bring him a ton of happiness to think that his art is all around.**
