Sorry for not writing for a while. But now I know someone is reading the blog. I had two people
ask for another blog update or think something was wrong because I hadn't written for a while. So here it is.
Sunday, I got into an accident. A state cop ran a light without his lights on and crashed into my
van totaling it. So no more family outings for a while. My wife got whiplash from the crash and is in some pain.
I am somewhat fine. I really liked that van, and now it is gone. I found a newer replacement but it is $2000 down.
Needless to say, I don't have the cash on hand. So comes Plan B.
Start my ebusiness and make the money I need. My friend will front me some money if I need
it and he will be my partner. I have about 7 or 8 wholesalers ready to provide me with products. Now I have to work
out all the tax issues. But I accomplished a lot today.
This should hold all the blog addicts for today. I'm taking the rest of the month off. Ha ha.
There are no more days in the month.
Later.

Here it is. A sample of my work. Issue 6 of the comic. Let me know what you think.
3/18/2004
I don't know what is wrong with me. I just feel like I am dying inside most of the time. I just
feel like I am getting fatter and fatter and I can't stop myself. I am starting to get winded just climbing the stairs
to the basement. At this rate, soon I'll be living in bed and washing myself with a rag on a stick. I hope the
stuff I ordered will help.
This year will be the 15th year out of high school. I don't know if we are having a reunion or not.
I couldn't face my class members with this body and being unemployed. I gotta do something about this.
What happened to me. I thought I was fat in high school. I know I was shy. But I go through
my day driving around or walking through the mall seeing all of the 14-18 year olds and I can't help to think to myself,
what happened to me. I wasn't that bad in school. Well, I wasn't too bad in real life standards, but I was bad
in high school standards. My father didn't want to shell out the money for trendy clothes, or decent shoes. So
I was made fun of. He didn't let me drive until I was 18. He didn't pay for college for me so I could make a decent
life for myself or make new friends. So I ended up as one of the countless people who have nothing to offer the world
but a strong back and a potential alcohol problem.
Now here I am. Weighing in at the 370 lbs. range, sitting in my basement to get away from my wife
for some peace and quiet, depressed about being unemployed and not being good enough to find another job, and regreting the
last 25 years of my life. What else is there to do but stick the revolver into my mouth. I am at the end of my
existance.
Don't worry, my few but loyal friends. I don't even own a gun. And even if I did, I wouldn't
have the guts to go through with it. This is just the things that are going through my mind right now. I'll just
sit back and let everything slowly eat away at me until I disappear. Which according to Deathclock.com, is right around
9 years from now.
Well, enough of this fun and games.
Later.

Hey, Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone. I didn't partake in the festivities, but it is still a good
holiday to get drunk and eat food you shouldn't.
Life has been pretty crappy lately. I am feeling trapped in this crappy town. Stores are closing
left and right. And no one is doing a thing about it. This means no work for yours truely.
I tried again to get my aunt's computer to run. No luck. I got everything in the right place,
and all the power hooked up. I press the power button and the fans spin for a second and then nothing. I swear,
after this, I will never mess with hardware again except for my own computer. I just don't have the equipment to do
it right.
The only good thing that has happened is, I was able to write 4 more issues of my comic. So I am up
to 32 issues written and only 5 completed. But that is ok, because I have no place to display the issues on the internet
anyway. No dedicated place anyway. I could display them here, but then very few would see them.
Well, that is about it for now.
Later.

The ides of March. How lovely.
Well, the local snowstorm has put a damper on a otherwise dreary existance. Good thing I didn't put
away my galoshes yet.
Still haven't decided what I want to do. I have broken it down to, Web Comic Artist, Flash Animation
Artist, and Online Business Owner. All of the others are things I need to learn to be one of these three things.
I think I am going to have to go out and get a new keyboard. The spacebar is sticking on this one.
Though it could be that the internet is causing it somehow. Either way, this one pretty old and needs a backup.
Here is something interesting I heard on the radio today. One of the political parties found out from
some scientific group about this dangerous chemical called dihydromonoxide. It can be deadly if inhaled and is used
in the production of styrofoam cups (forgive the spelling). That was enough to get that political party to put it on
their rally agenda to ban styrofoam cups and dihydromonoxide. The only problem was, no one told them that dihydromonoxide
was water. Needless to say, they pulled the ban from their political agenda. Now, how stupid is that?
Well, I better do something constructive.
Later.

Hey there everyone. Here I am again with more on my depressingly dull life.
I seem to be getting up earlier and earlier now for some reason. I get tired earlier too. I
guess I am just getting old.
I need to make a decision on what I am going to do for money. I know I have gone through this a lot
lately. But things keep creeping in that tell me to reevaluate the situation. The choices are:
Comic Strip Cartoonist
Flash Animation Cartoonist
Web Page Designer
Computer Programmer for .NET
Writer
Owner of an Online Business
I just don't know what to do. I don't know a lot about any of these things but I want to learn.
Web Page Designer and Owner of an Online Business go together so I have to learn both of those for that.
Writer kind of goes with both Comic Strip Cartoonist and Flash Animation Cartoonist, because you still have
to write the script.
And a .NET programmer makes a ton of money and could start his own software company.
So what should I do? I will have to really think about this. I can eventually do them all, but
I need to decide what to do for now.
Oh well. Later.

Well, I had to go to another town 60 miles away today to get a computer part for my Aunt's computer.
And, of course, I had to take my Dad. Let me tell you, after riding in a truck with him for 2 1/2 hours with him telling
his stories constantly, I feel like blowing my Fucking brains out. He always tells
the same stories everytime we go somewhere. He'll tell me stories about this farmer and that farmer. He has a
story for each farm house we go by. And on the way back, he tells that same stories that he told on the way there, but
in reverse order. Its enough to make you go crazy. He must be talking to hear his own voice because I have never
expressed any interest what so ever in any farmers stories or any stories he ever told. I should just
call his woman and have her watch him when I have to go somewhere. I just can't take it anymore.
Well, that's it for now. I might add something later.
Later.

Well, today was my birthday. We went to a nice restaurant and had steak dinners. My Dad didn't
want a steak. He wanted a hamburger. So we got him a hamburger. But when we get the bill, we saw that the
hamburger meal including salad bar (which he didn't eat from) cost $10. That was an expensive hamburger. If he
would have gotten the steak, it would have been $16.95 and it was well worth it.
On the way home, all he could talk about is how bars are the "Devil's House" and that anyone who drinks
will have to "face Jesus" and will go to hell. He said that alcohol was the devil. I came back saying that the cough
syrup he takes has alcohol in it so I guess he is going to hell. I was ready to tell him that he can't watch Westerns
anymore because those are the "Devil's shows" because all they show is murder and rape. Every time he watches those
Westerns, he says "I would have killed him", or "those guys can't hit anything" refering to the gun fights. That is
murder in the mind and he's going to hell for that.
Otherwise, I guess it was a good birthday. The best birthday would have been getting a job and winning
the lottery, but what are the chances of that?
Well, that's it for now.
Later.
3/9/2004
Well, here I am. Sorry for not writing for a while. I have been laid up with back problems for
the last week. But I am back and ready for business.
So... what is new?
Not a whole lot. I have been thinking about my business lately. I need to get it started
and make some profit. But I need to do this using as little of my own money as possible. So how do I do that?
Well, I have come up with something. But it requires me to put aside my Flash book and jump to the Dreamweaver book
so I am able to build the website myself. Other than that, there are tools around that I can use to get me off the ground.
Right now, I am trying to find a webhost that is cheap, but good. Then, on to Dreamweaver.
I'm afraid that is about it. I wish I had more, but I don't.
Oh! By the way, my birthday is on the 11th and I could really use some money. So if anyone is
so inclined, please donate to my tip jar on the front page. Thanks.
Later.

Hey there. Got an early entry today.
I was watching TV this morning when I got a knock at the door. It was one of those religious groups
trying to pass the word of God on to us. First of all, if I want to know the word of God, I'll go to church or read
the Bible. But then, I thought of some interesting things I could tell them. They asked me if it was a bad time
to talk. Here are some possible answers that could send them running.
Is this a bad time to talk?
"No. I was just in the middle of downloading some porn."
"No, I just finished fucking my wife. I have some free time til she wakes up."
"Well, actually, I just finished cutting up a body and have to get it burried before it starts to stink."
"Well, can you come back later, I'm in the middle of a sacrafice to my lord Satan."
"Sorry, it is against my religion to talk about God."
Quickly paint 666 on your forehead. When you answer the door, tell them to come in.
"Sorry, God told me not to talk to you."
They tried to talk to me about the Gay marriage issue and that God hates it. I told them that is was
none of my business what other people do and it was not for me to judge. I should have told them "My husband and I think
its great. We went up and got married the other day. We would kill anyone who says gays can't marry." That
would probably embarrass them. But it would make them go away.
Anyway, I'll probably write more later. If anyone has more ideas to get rid of unwanted religious
people interupting your day, send me an e-mail. I would love to hear them.
Later.

Well, I have received a little feedback on my past blog entries. They are making them
think. That is a good thing. But I am tired of griping for now. Rest assured, if I think of something
to gripe about later on, I will.
I have been going to alot of the net comic sites and looking at their work. I am having
a difficult time deciding whether to do a comic or a Flash cartoon. I can do a comic in less than a day.
But a Flash cartoon is much more difficult and a lot more work. It also takes alot more time to do one
cartoon. Flash is easy to use, but while I am working on the cartoon, nothing is going out to the public. So what
should I do. I suppose I could do both. Since the comic takes such a short amount of time to produce, the rest
of the day could be for the cartoon. Maybe I'll do a quarterly cartoon. Sounds good.
I have to tell you. I went to see this movie Eurotrip this weekend. This is one of the funniest
movies I have ever seen. I was just rolling in my seat. Plus the girls in it are nothing to sneeze at. The
girl who was the twin, she used to play Harriet the spy, and then there was her role on the Adventures of Pete and Pete.
Oh, then there was that role on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. She grew up hot. They showed her in a bikini, but I
wouldn't have objected to see her at least topless. Then there was the German girl that the guy was going to Germany
for. She was pretty hot too. And we did get to see her topless. Needless to say, there was no shortage of
nudity in this movie. Though, I don't think we needed to see all of the old guys naked on the nude beach. But
the chicks were cool. Lucy Lawless put in a believable performance as a Dominatrix, though, I've never been to one,
so I wouldn't know. All in all, a funny movie. Though you should not attend if you are easily offended by... say
someone catching the Pope's hat on fire, or someone being anally explored by a machine with five dildos on it, or fraternal
twins kissing. But it was Damn funny! 5 out of 5 stars in my book.
Well, I guess that is about it for now. Later.
