CHINA MALLING IT UP.

I just got home from the China Mall with my mom. Its amazing there. I got a Hello Kitty keyboard that i'm using to type this post with and a Hello Kitty mouse. I also bought the most amazing festival dress. Weird huh? Today was so cool just seeing a different type of mall. It exposed me to other cultures and how they bargain and what not. Best of all was that me and my mom got to bond. She really is the best thing ever. <3

I wanna be your eyes
So you can see what you've done
I wanna be your ears
So you can hear everything that's been missing

Finders keepers
Will you keep me in mind?
I like secrets
'Cause they keep me in line
Old habits die hard
But I'm too young to die

I guess it's a mess if you make your bed
So why are we still laying in it?
And I could barely sleep, I could barely eat
And it's been three whole weeks
Since I heard you speak

Rick Genest (born August 7, 1985) is a Canadian artist and fashion model born in Montreal. He is also known as Zombie Boy for being tattooed like a corpse across the majority of his bodyGenest grew up in Châteauguay, a suburb of Montreal. According to his mother he waited, out of respect for her and his father, until the age of 16 to get his first tattoo. He then left home at 17 after graduating from high school, but it was not until the age of 21 that he would first come to Montreal tattoo artist Frank Lewis, since then responsible for inking the majority the designs on his body, which they create together. This has taken over three years, Genest spending thousands of dollars on the artwork, conceived by him to be "about thehuman body as a decomposing corpse – the art of a rotting cadaver.", and "also a tribute to horror movies", a favourite genre of his. He would become popular in Montreal's "underground scene", but struggled for money and eventually found himself homeless.
