The Second Coming by William Butler Yeats

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all convictions, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

Star Wars knick-knacks

All Star Wars fans owe it to themselves to visit this guy's MySpace profile and watch all of the videos he has collected there. First mute his profile song, then click and enjoy the short films: homemade Star Wars films

And you can't miss Park Wars a South Park version of Episode One.
And possibly the funniest parody edit ever: The Empire Brokeback

Whoops, I drew it backwards

For me, often new tattoo ideas come from a combination of alcohol, boredom, bathroom mirrors and magic markers. "Things Fall Apart" is now complete, Batman vs Joker is still in progress, but the Klingon Empire symbol needs to happen soon.
