Why Don't I Shut UP?

Good Gravy, look at the cob-webs in this joint! Okay okay, I'm a slacker. WAAAAAAAAAAAY slack...so what's been going on with you? The weather is heating up again here in my part of the world. I'm in that certain mode where I feel like I"m doing a million things at one time but not getting a single damn thing done. Its much like that feeling of running on a treadmill. You're running your ass off, sweat is pouring down your face, you're legs are burning...Yet when you stop running you're still in the same place as when you started.

Its been a weird year so far, hasn't it. The world goes racing past us at break-neck speed and every once in a while it reaches out and smacks you in your face just to make sure you know who is in charge. But that's what makes life a little interesting. Its what makes the good times feel a whole lot gooder (yeah, gooder...So what?).

For those of you interested, my comic strip "Union Avenue" turned a year old at the end of May. This is a fact that pretty much blows my mind...To think that I've managed to come up with 313 comic strips and I'm still coming up with new scenarios. Thanks to everyone who has been reading.

You know, there are a ton of new albums out or coming out...Coldplay, Foo Fighters, Beck, Fishbone (live album!!!), They Might Be Giants, Oasis, System of a Down, Pearl Jam, Nine Inch Nails, Stevie Wonder, Maroon 5, Huey Lewis & The News (not kidding), Billy Corgan, White Stripes, Ringo Starr....

And you know what the sad part is (at least for me)? You'll barely hear any of it on the radio. Yeah...You might catch a glimpse of a single or something but for the most part...No.

I'd like to start getting people's comments on things up here...I've been throwing around the idea of opening up a myspace.com site so we can share tunes and stuff like that but for now, I'm a dedicated blog honky.

SO anyway, I wanted to come by and drop a line. I'm going to try and get things stirred up again with my normal tirade of bitching. It will be good fun...right?
