Just checking in…

June 26, 2005

i haven’t posted anything in awhile so i thought i’d pop in to share some thoughts.

so whats new…hmmmm.

well i’ve been working quite a lot…which is never fun. but since i don’t want the wrong person reading this and “dropping a dime on me” (that’s redneck for ratting me out) i’ll refrain from making too many negative comments about my job. let’s just say that it’s still work and they still have to pay me to do it.

i went to see batman begins a couple of weeks ago and it fucking rocks. someone needs to grab joel “fuck up a wet dream” shumacher and force him to watch it over and over again. occasionally beating the fuck out of him and yelling stuff like “arnold sucks!” or “clooney?!?…what the FUCK??” or my personal favorite “bend over joel, time to do to you what you did to the batman franchise you cocksucker!”.

my wife and i were hanging with some friends at a local bar when we learned that one of my good friends is adopting 2 children from overseas. to me that’s just fucking awesome. i mean, i know we have orphaned/abandoned children here in the states but children from overseas have much less chance to lead a happy and full life then the kids here. besides that, i know these 2 folks will be spectacular parents and i sincerely wish all the best for them.

my wife and i just got back from herocon ‘05 in charlotte, nc. i’m a big comic fan and i love going to events like that. i used to work for the guy who was running the con and despite the fact he fucked me over at a point in my life when i really needed him to stand by me, i still pop in occasionally since that’s the only real big con with a couple of hours drive. i mean dragoncon is in atlanta but i’d rather burn off my eyebrows with a candle then drive to atlanta for anything. also, dragoncon isn’t strictly a “comic” con…there were quite enough stormtroopers, klingons, ghostbusters and overweight chicks dressed as anime characters at a regular comic con…but i do have to say that the supergirl i saw was absolutely smokin’ hot.

i saw a bunch of people i used to work with and a lot of old friends. i didn’t make a damn dime working at the comic store but those were some of my best days. i never hated going to work. i hung out with buddies and friends all day long. i had a killer 40% discount so i could really feed my comicbook addictions. it was great. i could never do something like that now…”mature” life has encroached too far for that to happen.

so now that i’ve bored you to tears i suppose i’ll sign off for now…but fear not, i shall return.
