Never!

Never say never. This has been one of the driving forces in my life, together with the intriguing
question : "why not?"

Today my friend Andrea blew my mind, though. Andrea is the greatest Italian cartoonist ever, and one of the people who's able to live his life more reckllessly despite four young children to feed, metaphorically and literally. We've been talking about doing cool and reckless projects together in the very immediate Future.

We've been talking more than usually during this stay, and today he called three times. Last one was about his discovery of a DVD with a documentary about Cole Porter's life.

Porter had his motto tattoed on the pillows:

NEVER EXPLAIN, NEVER COMPLAIN.

No wonder the man composed some of the best songs ever.

Never explain, never complain. It's just so awesome and appropriate to the way I want to relate to the world most of the time. But many people don't get it. They keep asking me to explain what should never been explained. They are almost disappointed about my lack of complaining.

So, should I tatto-it on my butt? Or should I stick to the original tribal tattoo idea for the small of my back, and keep Cole Porter's crazy wise words printed on my heart?

You're allowed one vote each. I will act accordingly with the majority of the comments and e-mails received.

I say tattoo "never complain" on your right arm and "never explain" on the left. :)

Don't tattoo it-keep it as a powerful secret and share its wisdom heart to heart.
