There is no such thing on earth as an uninteresting subject; the only thing that can exist is an uninterested person. - G.K. Chesterton
There’s a decent thunderstorm outside. When I was a kid I typically played at my friends houses (we never played at mine, not sure why) and a thunderstorm meant that I wouldn’t be going home anytime soon. Maybe that’s one reason why to this day I still like them. [...]
A while back I ranted on some billboards that I’ve seen around town. I’d like to continue my venting on another series of boards that have sprung up like weeds in this fair city of mine.
A local hospital system has recently started a new ad campaign. And by “local hospital system” I mean [...]
I’ve been trying to come up with something witty to write about…but really, I think I’m just too tired. I think I’m just going to veg out today. Atlanta was a blast, but driving 6 hours in the rain makes me tired…and I’m still tired. It’s also still rainy, which doesn’t [...]
Today I started my second session of summer school. Also, today is alliteration Thursday, but I digress.
One of the classes that I often remember from when I was in college the first time was in an auditorium in the basement of one of the buildings. Although, I’m not sure why. I guess [...]
Most people tend to remember where they were when significant world events took place. Our parents remember exactly what they were doing when JFK was shot, or when we landed on the moon. Our grandparents remember what they were doing when they heard about Pearl Harbor, or the atomic bomb.
I, on the other [...]
Last week Sarah and I finally put together our spare bedroom. It should be noted that this comes after nearly 4 years of using it as nothing more than storage. So now at least I feel like we’re finally living in a 3 bedroom house. Even though the other room isn’t a [...]
If I can make it until next tuesday, I’ll be okay. My online class is a bit ridiculous with the reading. Actually it’s way over the top with the reading. And I’ve got another book due on Tuesday that I haven’t read much of yet, and it’s the longest one so far. [...]
I hate cleaning gutters.
So much so that I have yet to clean out the gutters on my house…after almost 4 years living here. Yeah, I know…pretty bad huh? But in all fairness, we don’t have any leaves that fall into our yard.
That was my excuse anyway.
Now they are pretty [...]
I’m back from the Con. It was a friggin’ blast as usual. The book did really well, it sold better than self-published book usually do, which was cool. We were, however, at a booth along the back wall. Not many people go to the back wall…I know I didn’t when I [...]
The last two nights I have been waking up, after maybe an hour of sleep, completely anxious. Like somethings seriously wrong, but I can’t put my finger on what it is. I go to sleep fine, I wake up okay, it’s just that in the middle of the night…BOOM! ….I’m not okay. [...]
The day after tomorrow me and several other guys will make our annual trip to the comic book convention in Charlotte, NC. Three days is just long enough with the guys to get away and have a great time, and feel ready to go home at the end. Each year is a blast. [...]
For the first time in my life, I’m upset that I got a C on a paper. Man! do I miss the days of not caring.
I’m taking a class this summer that’s a graduate level history course. We have to read 4 books and write reviews on them each week. So on [...]
I would like to take this space, simply because I can, to address a certain peeve that I keep as a pet.
It irritates the living crap out of me (to a degree that may exceed the crime) when someone who expresses a belief that something is wrong gets labeled as having a “holier-than-thou” attitude.
Ok, [...]
My comic is now on sale. Everyone should buy it.

My friend Steve came over last night. Steve and I used to sing together in an a cappella group a few years ago. Last year he auditioned for American Idol and actually made it as far as Hollywood. He was on TV a few times, though always in the background. It’s [...]
Last night we went to a baseball game with some friends. Marty and I sat and talked about comics most of the time, only pausing every so often to look up and see if the foul ball we heard was going to fall on us.
After sitting for an hour or so, gorged [...]
