Well, I had another instance of when the government can be a pain in the ass.  With all the privacy issues that are happening these days, it is very difficult to take care of someone who is incoherient most of the time.  I got a call from someone today that will not talk to me unless my Dad tells them that is okay.  The only problem is, he is incoherient most of the time and couldn't understand what I needed him to do.  So nothing got accomplished.  Now I have to send them a copy of the POA so they will talk to me.  I think it was a bill.  What has this country come to?
 
I got a new idea for a cartoon last night.  Usually, I just let it pass right through my head, but this time, I wrote it down.  It is a very interesting idea.  And it will work in a series format.  As soon as I finish that book, I will begin working on it in full force.
 
Not much else happening right now.  But I'm sure something will come up.
 
Later.

Well, it is another horrible day here at my house.  Getting a lot of calls from bill collectors about stuff I did when I had a job... a life.  But I put on my answering machine that I don't accept calls with Unavailable numbers on caller ID.  So they should figure it out soon, I hope.
 
No luck on the job front.  I found a desent ad in a paper from a town 60 miles away, but I don't know if I want to travel that far for work.  The gas cost would be enormous.  I wish I knew a way out of the mess I'm in.
 
I am still reading the book on writing for animation.  It is very interesting.  It proves that even the most difficult task can be made easy just by breaking it down into small, easy to manage steps.
 
Well, I think that is about it for now.  I hope I didn't whine too much for my friend that complains that I am always throwing a pity party.
 
Later.

Let the pity party begin!
 
Ok.  Today I got a message on my answering machine.  It was one of my Aunts wanting to talk to my Dad.  Of course, I was not home at the time.  She proceeded to say a message to my Dad and said, "I guess you are not allowed to talk."  What the hell brought that on?  I have let her talk to him every time she has called.  I tell you, this whole family is full of backstabbers.  They are nice to your face and then when your back is turned, they put you down.  I haven't done anything that would warrent this kind of treatment.  In fact, I took him in and am looking out for his needs better than he can.  I should be commended for what I have done considering what he has done to me in the past.  I could have left him in the nursing home and signed over all of his possessions to the state for them to care for him.  But I am a good person and tried to look after his interests.  And this is the thanks I get.  I tell you, I am ready to wash my hands of the whole thing.  If my brother wants him, he can have him.  I am done, stick a fork in me.
 
But other than that, it has been a completely terrible day, how was yours?  LOL
 
Well, that is it for now.
 
Later.

Well, almost two weeks from the last entry.  It is getting harder and harder to make these entries.  I don't know why.  Could it be that I am running out of stuff to talk about?    Nahhhh!!!!!
 
Lately, I have been reading my Writing for Animation book.  It is very interesting how this particular writer creates the stories for the cartoons.  And I say to myself, I can do this... no problem.  So, no problems.
 
I am also spending a lot of time in There.  It can be a lot of fun.  And, Hey!, when you don't really get out of the house to meet people, this is the next best thing.  I have met a great group of people and have kind of formed our own little clik.  They are all great people.  And one is particularly special to me.  Nothing to worry about, it is all in the game and not in the real world.  Kind of like Vegas.
 
My Dad had a little incident with his eye on Friday.  I took him to the Doctor and he said that his dose for blood thinners was too high.  So he took him off them until tomorrow.  Hopefully, he will be at normal and his eye will heal up.  But, all my Dad could say is the Doctor didn't know what he was doing and Doctors always bury their mistakes.  Duh!  They sure as hell don't bury their successes.
 
Well, that is it for now.  Hopefully I will be writing in here more frequently.
 
Later.

Well, another month has come and gone.  Where has the time gone?  Anyway...
 
Been playing alot of There.  I have some decent friends to talk to in there.
 
Not much else is going on.  I am planning to go to a Superbowl party on Sunday.  But that is about it.
 
So, I guess that is it for now.
 
Later.
