Crazy love. We’ve all experienced it…I think. I’ve mentioned before I’ve experienced my own demented moments in love…but how about a crazy friendship? And how about crazy business? Have you ever done anything utterly crazy in a friendship or in the course of conducting business?
\nI don’t know about you about I’ve had my fair share of lapses in dealing with people but there are lines I would draw in any transaction. For example, how dumb do you have to be to trust a complete stranger with your body AFTER you’ve had a heated argument?
\nThere is news out of Australia that a guy went to a tattoo artist and they argued. He wanted a dragon on his back and the artist complied. The guy went home and showed off the tattoo to his roommate and learned to his horror that he didn’t have a dragon tattoo but a giant, 15 inch penis! And to add insult to injury there is also a misspelled gay slur on his back.
\nHere’s the link to the article:

\nI have to say as an outsider it’s hilarious. I have no idea what the tattoo artist was thinking. Surely he knew he’d wind up in legal trouble but that must have been some<\/em> argument to risk criminal charges, which he now faces.
\nHave you ever done anything crazy in business or friendship?
\nI think the craziest thing I did – and it still shames me to remember it – was the time I was asked to give a well-known actor some feedback on a screenplay he wrote. Now, this is my day job and the guy knew this which was why he solicited my advice. He didn’t offer me money. I guess he thought he was doing ME the favor. Anyway, I made the colossal mistake of telling him the truth. I’m still not sure I was completely wrong in being honest in telling him his screenplay sucked, but I’ve learned that experience, like a 15 inch tattoo on your back teaches you some life lessons in craziness.
\nHow about you? How crazy have you gotten? Please leave a comment and the best one gets a free ebook from me!
\nAloha oe,<\/p>\n
