Don't Ruin My "Spirit" (The Worst Blog Title Ever)

I'd like to say that I will be heading to bed after I type this blog, while simultaneously listening to the Around Comics podcast, but saying that has the hint of "untruthfulness".

Saying I don't want to go to work tomorrow is redundant and on the verge of becoming a bad running joke, but tomorrow is *special*. The company I am employed by (who I can't name, but let's just say their name rhymes with "Free Toe Lia") starts their new fiscal year officially tomorrow and we will begin our annual ritual of selling a shitload of product within the first month to put us in the black immediately; making our sell numbers a little less stressful over the course of the year. That is, if you don't count the shit we have to go through the next month (did I mention starting tomorrow?).

I did promise that I'd take my dad out to see The Spirit tomorrow, but I'd be lying if I said I'm looking forward to that as much as I may have say, oh, a week ago. Nothing to do with spending time with the old man (I LIKE to do that), but looking at a few reviews and especially reading Peter David's blog about it have kinda soured my mood towards it. It looks great, but I am being reminded of why this will probably suck: Frank Miller.

I am not a Frank Miller fan. And if you told me that he has completely fucked off a bunch of rich guys in Hollywood's money, I would believe that sooner than you telling me that he made a great movie.....

...or even a GOOD movie....

....but the truth is: if this movie fails (which, as of here on Sunday night, simply glancing at such things on the enter-nets, it has), this will be a major blow to the aforementioned rich guys trusting anybody from the comic book industry having complete creative control in comic book movies.

And that will suck for everybody. And that's the LAST thing I would want to happen....

It's My Blog And I'll Blog What I Want To

I've seen it with my own eyes
How we're getting otherwise
Without the luxury of leaving

The touch and feeling of free
Is intangible technically
Something you've got to believe in

Connect the cause and effect
One foot in front of the next
This is the start of a journey

And my mind is already gone
And though there other unknowns
Somehow this doesn't concern me

And you can stand right there if you want

But I'm going on
And I'm prepared to go it alone
I'm going on
To a place in the sun that's nice and warm
I'm going on

And I'm sure they'll have a place for you too

Anyone that needs what they want
And doesn't want what they need
I want nothing to do with

And to do what I want
And to do what I please
Is first on my to do list

But every once in a while
I think about her smile
One of the few things I do miss

But baby I've got to go
Baby I've got to know
Baby I've got to prove it

And I'll see you when you get there

But I'm going on
And I'm prepared to go it alone
I'm going on
May my love lift you up where you belong
I'm going on

And I promise I'll be wating for you....

-"Going On"

Gnarls Barkley, 2008

This song has everything and nothing to do with the way I feel right now.

The past month, I found myself becoming completely and totally obsessed with comic book blogs and podcasts, so....yeah, I'm THAT depressed...

I'm not looking forward to the move coming up here soon, especially since it's just the 1st move and the BIG one come down the line...

My boy lost his job earlier today and I had to tell him that when change comes, there's little you can do to stop it, but we all know the truth: change sucks.

I don't want to work tomorrow. There, see, that wasn't a lie.

Not even a little one.

I'm putting off going to the doctor. I'm putting off hitting the gym, which for some reason is causing me to binge like never before. Weird, huh?

The funny thing is that it WILL get better from here. I've said that a million times before, but even now, as I say it, and just like all those other times before, I acutally believe it.

So is it fair that I ask everyone not to give up; not to throw in the towel; not to turn your back on me....even though I've already given up on all of you?

This Is A Test

Nobody should read this, since I will be just fucking around here....

I just want to see if I can write like this...

or like this...

ok, now I can't change the font,

this sucks

can I write in orange?http://http//www.wikipedia.org/

or completely link to a useless link?

so now we're almost back to normal...

ok now we're there...let's try something else...

I'm going to try to

alige on the left....

now we're over here on the right....

now I'm over here at the very end....

or is it all over here to which I have no idea what this does...

1. 
   
   
   

   I can easily make lists like this


2. 
   
   this is where I can really make my point


3. 
   
   this is where I can make the joke

I have no idea what this block quote does, but I imagine I'll figure it out....

Now the real test.....

Alright shit maybe that won't work....let me try something else...
