shoot the lights out

This used surely to be the sign of a marksman. He would shoot out the lights by shooting the wicks of the candles in a chandelier - and the trick was to do it without touching the wax.
Hence it has come to mean extreme accuracy - even in children ball games.

Kevin Durant in Turkey 2010 basketball world championship really did shoot the lights out!

Lights out

Conversation with my son ..

Was gently breaking him into my perspective after genuine interest ..

Two possibilities of what happens when you inevitably die …

Lights out ..

.. don’t even know about it, gone forever ….

Or something else ..

Close your eyes …

You decide ….

Lights out .. tattoo … not for me …

Keep it pure .. keep it light ..

Lol my reiki symbol perhaps …

But …

Book I read says not to cover energetic points with tats …

Almost gospel …
