Well, I spent the last week of 2005 as a bitter, lazy bum. I did very
little if anything and I feel a bit grouchy about it. Well, I feel a
little grouchy about everything it seems. I think I'm frustrated because
everything is at a standstill and nothing I do seems to move me forward.
It doesn't help that I'm a lazy procrastinator who's afraid to take
chances. I'm 36 years-old and I'm not where I want to be in life. I'm
stuck and I don't know how to be unstuck. Man, I've had this particular
albatross around my neck for years and I'm afraid it's going to remain
there in the new year.
Despite that gloomy paragraph
lingering above, I am grateful to have some good friends. The last two
nights I have spent the evenings with some good and kind people and I had
a great time each night. Thanks to the Reeses, the Kaehrs, the Coles, and
Joe Skeen for the good company and for cheering up a bitter, fat
cartoonist.

Merry Christmas to one and all!

I'm not done with my Christmas shopping so that means I have to brave the
crowds tomorrow. I'm planning on going early, but planning and doing are
two different things. I did pick some stuff up today so it wasn't a total
shopping bust. No, the bust part comes into play when I receive my credit
card bills. Santa, give me a million dollars please!
Besides prowling the aisles and nearly
getting sideswiped by a SUV, I took in the final showing of Eight: The
Reindeer Monologues and I really enjoyed it. It was kind of strange
seeing it, knowing I was supposed to be in it once upon a time. I
regret I had to miss the opportunity to work with such a talented cast.
Kudos to my friends, Jerry Cole, Judy Malone, and Joe Skeen, for turning
in some great performances!

Well, I finally mailed off my Christmas comic to all my family and friends
Tuesday morning. Hopefully, everyone will receive it before Christmas Eve.
I think this year's holiday cheer turned out pretty well. It stars Giraffe
Man, a superhero with a super long neck. He was created by my friend, John
Oak Dalton, and I hope I did John's creation justice!
The Rummage Sale Lady (played by
Audrea Quinton)
This past Sunday one of the Funky
Idiots graduated from Ball State University. The sweet and kind Audrea
Quinton got herself a college degree and I couldn't be happier for her.
Congratulations, Audrea!
The majority of Eric's fish died this past weekend. Eric is still mourning
his loss, but vows to restock his aquarium one day soon!
