Dedicated enough to make a second post.

It's 10 am, and I'm pretty sure I only got a 3 hours of sleep.  I'm sitting on the 6th floor of a building I don't even have a class in, and I've got 2 more hours until I get to go learn more about The Great Depression.  I suppose I could find somewhere to sleep in the building, but  I don't know how well that would work.  Those chairs aren't that comfortable, and people are too loud in the morning.

In short, thank god for coffee.  In a little bit I'm gonna go down to the dunkin donuts, get a large coffee, and relax.  Fantastic.

I'd like to think I'll have something to talk about when I update this thing.  I'm sure my one reader (Chuck)  would rather read something more than just me complaining.  So, I've decided that it might be a good idea to make a To-Do list.  These are the things I'm going to do (holy shit), and then when I do (part 2 of the to-do list) them, I'll write about it on the blog.

TO-DO LIST

Get a goddamn job (a real one)
Draw more comics
Start drawing an ongoing webcomic
Apologize to Mitch Clem for eventually stealing his ideas and art style (http://www.mitchclem.com/)
Start a band
Go to more shows
Get money to go to more shows (see Item 1)
Spend less time in a vegetative state (most likely to not happen)
Make worthwhile blog posts
Do something so obscene that it gets written about in the paper (no more making stuff up)
Rock you like a hurricane
Be able to do all of these things yet still have free time....ugh.

Well there you go.  The to-do list is set and ready to be checked off.  I'd start now, but I'm gonna go get some coffee. 

You're Special,
Mike

A Weak Start


It's almost 3 am and I need to be up at 8.  If you can think of a better time to start a blog I'd like to hear it.  There's probably a billion better times to do this, but I like how the dominoes fell.

Here, I think we got off to a bad start (and by we, I mean me and the people who aren't reading this).  Let me start over.  Hi everyone!  If only you future readers knew what was in store.  You'd take the safe route and never read this shit.  I wouldn't.
 
I've decided that it's time to exist on the internet outside of Facebook.  It's either this or go back to Myspace, and I'm sick of getting those cluster friend requests.  I think it's gonna be nice to try something that isn't the internet dick measuring contest of how many friends someone has.  Or actual dick measuring contests on craigslist (The trick is to cheat).

On a side note, I draw.  I'm either an artist, a doodler, a cartoonist, or a graphic novelist.  I don't know which one.  In all honesty, probably none of them.  But anyways, I'll probably be posting some art and comics that I've been drawing lately (hold on to your hat Charlie).

Congratulations,
Mike
