absurdity

This tattoo belongs to Presidentjamie.

The tattoo represents the two weeks in my life in 2010, in which both grandparents died, and my mother left, whom I haven't seen since. It also represents the intense feeling of absurdity I feel in work situations... like it's all one big funny game played by people who take it all far too seriously. The quote represents me perfectly.

"At any street corner the feeling of absurdity can strike any man in the face."

- Albert Camus
