I’ll kick this off, finally, with something that has been on my mind a lot lately: hope and motivation. There’s this phenomenon with creative types where they need to keep themselves going.  That’s to say, when everything around them is crushing or there’s little to be excited or have faith in but something keeps them [...]

On the heels of the intended content relaunch for this site, I was diagnosed with a gastric ulcer.  So, that derailed all my efforts.  A week of eating nothing but vegetables and rice is nearly at an end and my stomach is finally quieting down. This derailment doesn’t mean I won’t be writing about the [...]

I’ve decided on a new aspect for this blog: the process of writing a book. The whole blog won’t just be this, of course, but I’d like to focus on it a bit more than anything else…anything else being that I haven’t written anything at all for quite some time.  As well, it’ll allow me [...]

Over the last month I’ve caught up on a lot of comics reading.  The reason being, I went to Fukuoka, Japan, have been sick, and was lazy. The main books I was and will be focusing on are Batman by Grant Morrison and Captain America by Ed Brubaker.  First off, I would like to state, [...]

I’ve been reading people’s complaints about Lost and feel I must chime in. After all, if there are to be this many detractors, someone has to come to its aid. Lost has, since immediately after season 1, completely gone off the rails. I don’t mean that in the sense that story or suspense has become [...]

There are words to describe <redacted to protect anonymity>.  You will find them in the following word cloud. I’m sure you now know why I couldn’t post that on Linkedin…because they would yell at me.

Laziness set in quickly.  Then, boredom.  Then, I got yelled at by my wife.  And now I’m trying harder. That sounds much harsher on my wife then it should.  She didn’t “yell” at me, per say, as much as read an essay by George Orwell about the downfall of writing and excerpts from a book [...]

Just received word from the phenomenal Josh Elder that the proposal deadline for the Reading With Pictures Anthology has been bumped back to December 15th.  So, if you were longing to write, draw, ink, color, and letter your own comic about education or work as a team on one, you still have time. It’s great exposure as [...]

Some quick notes before I get back to work… We’re nearly at our 1 month mark, here in Korea, and considering purchasing a wireless router as a reward.  Wouldn’t that be swell!  Anyway, it’s Friday afternoon here, nearly late night Thursday for those in the U.S. und Ahh, and I’m thinking about relaxing over the [...]

It has been some time since my last post. After two computer problems, two visits to the Apple genius bar, being sick for a week, packing, and flying to the other end of the world we’re alive.  And that’s figurative and realistic…or something. We’re here in Songpa-Gu, Seoul, South Korea settling into our second apartment [...]
