Process

Like all teams that endeavor to do something creative Tom and I have disagreements. I will think something is funny and he won't and of course vice versa. WE need to find a middle ground really, but that is a difficult thing when one of the two(Tom) thinks he is so much smarter then the other have (me) , it is even harder when the other party member is right. Tom is smarter than me, and therefore has no respect for me as a creative person. So the process is, he or we come up with an idea and I will suggest something that I think is funny and he will say (9.9 times out of 10) "No, that sucks." Usually he is right, I am an artist first and a comic writer, well I would say second, but is more like 23rd or 24th down the line of what I do (at least lately). The sad thing is for the most part he doesn't really come up with really funny ideas either. It is the ones we think of together that are actually funny. We need both Tom and I to agree on something to make it a successful venture, but as it is now neither of us can give even 10 percent, let alone a 110 percent to the comic. It is sad, but we are still having fun anyway. It would be a thousand times more fun if we had more then 10 readers, though I guess one reader per percent is pretty good, right?

Anyway it is looking like I will be done with school in December and have myself all edumacated and then either i can look for a job seriously or i can go whole hog on the website. I would love to do both and maybe when I only have a job to worry about and not school and a job and a hundred little side projects as well I can put at least 11o percent out of the needed 220 percent (110 from both Tom and I) and make this comic an actual thing worth reading regurarly and marketable (since that is my job at the moment you think I would be better at the marketing thing.)

Hope not to disappoint you few readers we have and not lose you through the next half year of mediocre output.
This has been,

Why...

I am a tired man. A tired young man that feels like a tired old man. People aren't supposed to feel tired before they are 30. After that is fine. Right Tom? Before that age of oldness people are supposed to be spry, in their prime, but no I am a tired sack o' crap. I am tired for a myriad of reasons, Math being the first and foremost and I have only done one day so far. That does not bode well.

In any case, the comic seems to be skipping along and other projects are coming and going for both Tom and myself. A little money made, very little on my part, which is fine. I can afford to be paid little at the moment, though that moment is fast fleeting. I gots bills to pay as well.

Oh, it is 6-6-06 now. I don't know whether to be jittery or elated, I do quite a bit of work in the horror field for some reason. So elation might be the way to feel, just because this date only comes around once every thousand years. Though it really doesn't if you think about it, this date only comes around once, because it is 6-6-2006, not 6-6-1006. So to celebrate this day of that bears a 'devilish' number (a little) we get the remake of the Omen. I asks ya why folks, why. Hollywood please stop remaking films, and remaking television shows into films, and sequels where they are not needed or deserved. If not for me, then for your children... What? OH those sequels and remakes are paying for your child's 24 karat diapers. Then by all means continue to let the crap, both figuratively and literally flow.

Good night, or good morning, or wake up, or go to sleep. or something.

a test

a very strange test. one with no questions.
