spasms of an under caffeinated brain

In the better moments of life I feel like I’m on cloud nine. The other moments I’m just an average person hoping for the best.

This week is a moment of clarity for me. I’ve decided (with a little persuasion) to take a media break, which is mostly just cutting out movie & television watching, reading of mindless books, and entertainment. It has been a rude awakening.

I’ve already noticed that I spend way too much time in front of my television watching DVDs. It’s always a bit disturbing when you find out that you have no life. I’ve shut myself in, secluded myself away from the world, and hindered my social life. And for what? a bit of entertainment? ‘tis sad, completely sad. I’ve wasted hour after hour which could be spent in the company of friends, family, and enemy alike… I could also spend this time on hobbies of sorts.

Also, have you ever tried to give up caffeine and entertainment at the same time? Ugh.
I am going through some serious withdrawals. My caffeine jitters have turned into the caffeine deprived shakes. I feel like I can’t think. My brain is dieing a slow and almost painless death… cell by cell it oozes down the drain of consciousness.

Right. So you’re all probably wondering if I’ve anything to contribute today as far as comics and the answer is - Yes, Yes, I do.

It's kind of cute, in a very twisted way... hense the name.

Comic of the week

Wow, how time flies. It’s already July 26, 2007. Boy oh boy.

Not much to say, I've been very preoccupied with work etcetera. Life can keep a person very busy, rushing, rushing to and fro seeking for something of worth. In this time I’ve lost sight of the most important things, such as this blog, and keeping myself happy.

Though, it would seem that serendipity has visited me, thank the good lord, as I’ve recently discovered some amazing web-comics, filled with humorous comics about chickens, bunnies, and kitty cats.

Today’s comic touches on my search for something to keep the insanity at bay.

Newt and John

Okay folks, I know it's been a long while between blogs. I apologize.

I've recently discovered a couple of new, yes, you heard me, new comics.

Yay!

I wanted to let you, our readers, be some of the first to become addicted to the lives of Newt and John. I cannot figure out if it is a play on Newton-John? hmmmmm.... *shrug*

Either way, it's hilario.

I'd also like you to be able to choose the outcome of Turtle VS. Bunny.

The race has never been more important or hilarious.

ba de ba dee that's all for today folks.

Blathering on

This entire post is fiction, I get bored some days. ENJOY!



My current health care provider/therapist, of questionable descent, sat me down promptly on the couch of retrospective contemplation and asked the following questions.

Where was my life going?
What was I doing with it? (it being "my life")
How did I feel about the current events that had transpired?
Was I in a fulfilling relationship?

I cannot explain the panic I felt at the thought that I may have to search through my feelings and spew out answers to these questions.

I had failed horridly in my life, according to them.
I wasn't going anywhere currently.
And I felt just awful about the lot of it.
My perspective of relationships could be summed up in one word, complicated.

Then I began to realize that I could never be something I was not.
My life was in a rut, I wasn't that upset about it.
I wasn't keen on moving.
I wasn't going to win the beauty contest next week, which was okay.
I wasn't going to be president of the chess club, but I could still play chess.
I wasn't going to join a sorority, big deal.
My relationships were on the verge of non-existence, but I liked myself.

Afterwards I felt as if a hole had been carved in my brain. All of my feelings of self-worth were gone at the beginning of the session; in one fell swoop therapy/and therapist had rendered me just another mindless zombie in a stream of mindless zombies, but I thought it through and…

I quit going to therapy.
I decided humor was my friend.

Since then I've been a much better person.
And now, I take this into mind when I am in a relationship.
xkcd
over all, I laugh more and think less. Isn't life funny?

Plus I get to spend all this free/unimportant time reading certain web comics....

obsession

Welcome to my addiction.

In the past few days I have started and finished a total of three online comic strips, three for goodness sakes.

I’m beginning to think my life revolves around what I read online; perhaps it feeds some inner hunger for knowledge, perhaps it soothes and calms my tortured soul, whichever it is I'm happy about it.

My latest completed reads include: Questionable Content, Bunny, and Warren Bunny.

Daily reads include: xkcd, Toothpastefordinner, and Unshelved (an entire comic/web comic dedicated to the library).

I find I’m addicted to the puns, snarky comments, pop culture references, and of course the drawings. All of which are available online, to read at my convenience. yay!

Thank you writers of online comics, you have saved me from boredom.

My recommendation for today:
Questionable Content

Please feel free to suggest a comic you find entertaining.

The comic that started it all...

I work in an office. It is an average office, I'd assume. I sit at a desk and put information into a computer day in and day out. In short, it's a very boring job.

One day, in the not too distant past, a friend sent me a link to this comic. And it snowballed from there.

So, with this comic, I institute my Comic of the Week. And it begins with Toothpaste For Dinner.

Good Afternoon, All...

You can think of this as a social experiment, a study in humor.

Actually, it all started when I was a wee little child. I have memories that formed from early on, I'd say I was 2 days old. I can remember reading comics and laughing uncontrollably at the uncanny satire expressed in them.

Armed with this vast experience and my extreme intelligence, I will dissect the comics, tell you which are good, and which are horribly stupid. And you will like it because I say so.

Thanks for listening,

D.
