Again, I wish I had more time on my hands. "Yes, thanks Worf for that."
Hmmm. I'm not sure I entirely like my pimp name.
The alternate choices were;
White Chocolate Van Briesen Bishop
Bad Ass Van Briesen Cube
Kwon M. Vicious
Hernandez Van Briesen Fine Ass
Superfly Shawn-pants Cube
Mary's is Diamond J. Whiskey Lips
Choosing your pimp name is difficult challenging...
"A musician must make music, an artist must paint, a poet must write,
if he is to be at peace with himself. What a man can be, he must be.
This is the need we may call self-actualization ... It refers to man's
desire for fulfillment, namely to the tendency for him to become
actually in what he is potentially: to become everything that one
is capable of becoming ..."
This is my birthday request list. If I don't receive these things, I refuse to turn 40.

There are more things but they are mainly action figures and I don't trust anybody to buy me action figures except Logan. So just send $9.99 to my Paypal account and I'll take it from there.
So it's like 20 below (with wind chill) here and for the first time since I left four years ago I'm not pissed off about the weather. If I learned anything during my time out west it's that there is a lot more to life than warm weather.
I'm wondering if anybody will actually show up to the shindig tomorrow? Those temperatures tend to make me want to stay in the house. Which is kind of funny because I tend to just stay in the house anyway. I just have a viable excuse now.
My mom gave me Barack Obama's book for Christmas. It's a pretty amazing story and well worth reading.
So in one week, I'll be 40 years old.
I don't know what that entails exactly but everybody that has turned 40 assures me that this is significant. Not that I don’t believe them -I’m just not sure why?
Looking back over the last 39 years I suppose that there are things I would’ve done differently. Although for the most part I feel like my life has been interesting if not downright “different”. The "road less traveled" and all that.
Predominantly I’ve always been able to do what I like to do as a job. I’ve lived where I wanted to live. Associated with whom I wanted to associate with. I’ve had what most would consider “a good life.” Certainly not boring.
So what is it I’m supposed to be reflecting on? The negative aspects? The mistakes, the miscalculations or the regrets? Or am I supposed to go out and buy a red Corvette now? Start acting like I’m 19 but with all the knowledge of a 40 year old?
A lot of things to consider. I’m reasonably sure that I won’t buy a Corvette. Even with the record setting lack of snowfall in Minnesota this year -a Corvette is a pain in the ass in here.
Does this mean that people will stop opening their mouth in surprise when I tell them I have a twenty year old daughter or an eighteen year old son? Are there things that are expected of me now? Like, I dunno, things that only 40 year olds are privy to? Some sort of secret manual?
…If anybody has any ideas on this let me know.
Incidentally, We are trying to plan a back to 1985 party for the 15th. Talk to Mary for the details.
You know honestly, if I have any regrets, it would be the fact that I can’t figure out how to install MT Blacklist on this site. I spend more time cleaning out spam than I really want too.
Fat Spy and Mullet Man.
It's a cartoon idea.
Y'know, fer kids...
I just thought this was interesting. It's just about every piece of X-men art I've ever done and uploaded.
I'm getting that old X-men drawing itch again. I'm digging the Joss Whedon incarnation that's going on now.
We went to a New Years' eve party last night. Fun party, lots of actors. We left shortly after midnight. It was about four miles from where we live and we saw no less than three completely drunk people bobbing and weaving all over the road.
It just made me wonder why? Why do people do that? Drive drunk I mean. Especially on New Years eve? It just seems so passe?
At any rate we got home safely and will probably stick to our "staying home on New Years eve" policy from here on out.
Other than that, Happy New Year!
