LINC'D: The Ballad of DeShawn and Abe


I almost don't want to write my standard two paragraphs for this particular post.  I just want people to bask in the fact that DeShawn Stevenson (he's the one on the right) has a tattoo of Abraham Lincoln on his Adam's apple.  Not his neck, his Adam's apple.  Recognize the bravery, courage, and both the physical and mental fortitude that took.  I dare you to get a former U.S. president's face permanently inked just below yours.  I promise, it's a tough look to successfully pull off.  You don't just see people walking around with Grover Cleveland forever on their voice box.

I'm not joking about this either.  Normally, these write-ups are sarcastic and superfluous, but that first paragraph was me being serious.  Honest, even.  That tat has fascinated me since the first time I saw it.  I said to myself that one day, when I am grown and can handle such responsibility, I will pen a picture worthy of that presidential neck ink.  And so I did.  And it is now DeShawn Stevenson's twitter background.  Mission accomplished.

Super Bowl Beyonce.  Because that is now an entirely different Beyonce.
