Well, we are at the end of another year.  And I can't say that I was any better off than last year.  Still unemployed with no hope of finding a job.  Everything is as it was last year.

 

For Christmas, I got an office chair for my computer, the Star Wars DVD collection, and a Surge Protector/Battery Backup for my computer.  Not too bad, I suppose.

 

And for New Years, I stayed at home and chatted with my friends on There.  My wife went out to eat with her family.  She said it wasn't that good.  I wasn't about to drag my Dad out and have a repeat of last year.  So I sat at home and watched him.

 

I really don't have that much to celebrate anyway.  It is just another year of having to put up with my Dad.  But I will find a way to make my own life... somehow.

 

Later.

 

 

Today has been the day from hell.  Christmas has been one big hassle after another.  And because my wife has no sense of time, I am still cooking our Christmas Dinner right now.  She has to learn that when you drop off presents, you drop them off and GO!  Not stay and visit for an hour or so.  She is in bed already so she won't be eating the dinner.  I will probably make a ham sandwich out of the ham I am cooking.  And of course, give my Dad one too.

 

Anyway, my wife had a chance to get dishes or change that present for a fiber optic lit Christmas Tree.  She chose the tree, which turned out to be broken.  Why can't she look at the practicality instead of what she thinks she wants.  Her sister even told her that she had a couple of those trees that didn't work, but she still took it.  But in turn, my wife gave her nephew one of those micro remote control cars.  And it didn't work either.  That family tends to by crap.  And then they expect me to fix it.  From now on, it is money or gift certificates.  You can't get a broken gift certificate.

 

But, the Christmas spirit has totally left me.  Probably forever.  I am sick of it.  It is nothing but a hassle.

God, I am so tired of this life.  It is the everyday things that are driving me crazy.  I am trying to stay focused on what I need to do, but it is hard when your father pulls you in one direction and your wife pulls you in another.

 

I found another of my father's pills in the bathroom.  I don't think it was from today.  I took him to Burger King today, but I didn't see him take his pills.  I was conveniently getting ketchup when he took them.  I am not putting it past him to pocket them.  So I informed him that if I catch him flushing his pills, he is going back to the nursing home.  I hope that is the end of that.  But probably not.

 

All of this makes me want to find a job even more.  But there is very little in this area.  I saw this guy I know got a job in the grocery store that I applied to, and he is fresh from New York.  So how did he get a job there and I didn't then I already worked there once and he didn't?  I must be getting blackballed or something.

 

I need to go to school and get an education.  But who has the time when you have to do all this crap around the house and no one lets you alone to do anything.

 

Sometimes I think my wife would be helpless without me.  It seems that she need me to help her do everything, which in turn, I end up doing it all.  I do have a better organized mind than she does.  But that is no excuse to not consider that I might be doing something that is important.  Why does she do it?  When I end up doing it for her, I end up yelling at her because she doesn't get what I am trying to do.  I know that I am not supposed to yell at her, but she is so infuriating.

 

Well, I better end this for today.

 

Later.

 

 

Well, I have some good news and some bad news.

 

I was able to get a 160 GB harddrive with my Christmas money, so now my computer has more memory than I do.  So that is good.

 

And now the bad news.  I have been called for Jury Duty.  I don't know how long it will be, and I don't know what I am going to do with my Dad while I am in Jury Duty.  His woman can watch him for one day, but she says she can't after that because she has to take care of her cats.  So she puts her cats above my Dad.  I see how she is.

 

Not much else happening now.

 

Later.

 

 

Sorry for not updating this thing lately.  Been thinking alot about stuff.

 

I am currently looking for a good book on Animation.  Something that gives action poses and how to do it step by step.  I know it is a dream right now, but it is the only thing that is letting me keep my sanity.

 

Haven't found another job yet.  But it isn't from a lack of trying.  I still haven't heard from the places that I applied to yet.  I'm starting to feel that I am being blackballed or something.  I just don't get it.

 

I just can't get into the Christmas spirit this year.  Actually for the past several years, I have had trouble.  I always like Christmas when I was a kid.  But now it is all about money, and I have none.  So no wonder I am not in the spirit this year.  My wife still put the tree up, so it still looks kind of Christmasy in here.

 

Well, that is about it for now.

 

Later.

 

 

A new month, but the same old crap. 

 

I am working on my comic again.  I transfered the logo that I made so I can use it in Photoshop.  I also decided to use different framing techniques, so it won't be the constant four frame comic.  Change it up a little bit.  It will take a little while to write more storylines, but I did it before, I can do it again.

 

I am trying to figure out how to get the merchandise store started.  It will take some doing, but I think I can do it.  It will be a lot of work, but I think the benefits will be worth it.

 

Not much else I can think of today.

 

Later.
