I said I’d post a new comic every once and a while.

Had a great one today. Well, not great but good enough.

Blueberry pancakes and old friends…not too shabby.

Work was good.

I lent an ear to a co-worker that is going through some relationship problems. Oddly enough, I could relate.

Do you ever have the music, that’s around you, soundtrack your life?

Matt calls it “the iPod God.” Hes always like, “the iPod God favors me today!”

What that means is, random music that fits your situation at a cretin time. Like when you are with someone in a car and the music that is playing on the radio is echoing what is going on between you and that person.

This happened to me today.

It didn’t happen with my iPod though. It was the music that was playing in the Hard Rock. I would be thinking about something and a song would come on that would echo what I was thinking about. It’s a weird thing. Ever happen to you?

I will end this post with a picture. This is a Hard Rock iPod dock, that I am getting as a present. It makes me happy.

So, how do you know anything for a fact? Really? What do you know to be a fact?

Does she love you?

Do you love her?

Is this what you want?

I am cursed to question everything. I think I get this from my dad. He is the kind of person that will think about a conversation, days after it has happened.

I am a completely over analytical person.

Why did she say that?

What does that mean?

Maybe Matt was right…

Anyways, there’s only one thing that turns that part of my brain off…

Cheers!

Ah, New Years…a time for fresh starts and optimism. I wish that were so in my case.

I’ve heard people say that whatever you were doing, at the stroke of midnight on New Years Eve, will set the pace for the year to come. For my sake, I hope that this isn’t true.

Most people, on New Years Eve, spend the time with family and friends. They have drinks and crazy parties, where they tell people their “new years resolutions,” and say empty phrases like, “things are going to be different this year,” or “I’m going to quit smoking and lose 60 pounds!”

Are things going to be different?

Can things really change for the better?

Can people quit smoking and lose those 60 vanity pounds?

My New Years was spent “working” at the Hard Rock Cafe, in Memphis. I was surrounded by hundreds of people bringing in the new year, with a beer in each hand spouting complaint after complaint about the admission price or this or that, all the wile wishing everyone a Happy New Year!

I just wanted to be somewhere else.

Here. Look at me.
