I bought my first comic book yesterday. I simultaneously made me feel super awesome and geeky along with feeling like my life needs more meaning so that I don't get sucked into a super pointless expensive hobby.
It was great.
Anyways I picked up a copy of Serenity: Float Out which is naturally about characters from Joss Whedon's Firefly/Serenity Universe. It's a pretty cool comic, not super amazing but a great One Shot.
Naturally this means I need all of the Serenity Comics. There are already two groups of three comic collections I need to get, Serenity: Those Left Behind and Serenity: Better Days. Then another One Shot called The Other Half. I need to get these and read the hell out of them because (supposedly) in November they'releasing a new story arc revolving around Shepherd Book before the TV show took place...and that's the single most storyline Firefly Fans want more than any other.
wow....super geek now.
Joss Whedon is my god : )
(also it's nice to know for sure [even though it was already announced, just not officially] that Joss Whedon is directing the upcoming Avengers movie)
This comic thing might explode in a bad way...my bigest problem is that if I ever actually purchase a comic book I will want every single issue in the collection...why would I just want part of it.
And while I don't suspect there will be a whole lot of comics I will need...there sure are a lot I'd like to read.
Also I'm pretty sure I need to check out Mike Mignola's Hellboy line (due to the recomendation of a friend [that's right Stephen...you] ).
Also I'm really tired right now and I'm in a very odd/hyperactive kind of mood.
Also I'm at work and I just saved sombody'd life

Happy Birthday to me!
I love Facebook, it's great, for the same reason I had a Myspace account ...I have a Facebook account. It's a great way to keep in touch with old friends I'd otherwise never see or hear from again. I'm sure it will make High School Reunions that much easier to ignore : )
I've since deleted my Myspace account.....because it's lame. And for a while I got really engrossed in Facebook, I was tops in Farmville, Mafia Wars, I had hundreds of weird applications....anyway I pretty much cleared all that out once I realized I was obsessed with a few games (I litterally set an alarm at 5 am so I could wake up and harvest my carrots before they wilted :P).
After a few months of basically doing nothing with Facebook, I've become bored with it again... So I decided to mess with people. Nothing very new mind you, I've been in a relationship with my best friend on Facebook for over a year and a half and convinced many people we were gay.
But the best idea came to me a few weeks ago. All of the information regarding myself on Facebook was provided by me... So I had a birthday last week...and I think I'll have another next month.
My favorite part is that friends who grew up with me (whose birthdays I remember) all wished me a Happy Birthday 6 months in advance, and while one might figure this is a little cruel because noone really pays that much attention...I'm sure they'll figure it out when I have a birthday every month for the rest of time, if they don't catch on soon....then kudos to me.

OMG where's my ROFL VLOG!??
I've felt considerably more artistic lately.
I need to paint. My doodles at work are insufficient (although pretty cool).
I find it interesting to that I love using pen. Just a standard ballpoint. My art teachers would kill me, But I find most of my favorite work amongst the permanent scribbles of ink.
maybe I'll post a few, but I'm so behind on things. I still need to try and salvage my website, it's been down a couple months now, I still want to review movies. Still want to keep video blogging.
Also I wrote a poem...we'll see how good it is in a few weeks when I look at it again : P

The Man Cave
Well, I moved out of my parents basement.
Of course I didn't really have a choice.
I opted out of following my parents to the center of the state. Where I would have to commute 2 hours to work.
I good friend of mine and I found an apartment together. And to be more specific...it's not an apartment. It's a basement. In fact we've pretty much deemed it "The Man Cave."
600 bucks a month gets us 1000 square feet, two bedrooms, one bathroom, and a living area, with a stove and a fridge. No kitchen sink...that's the big thing. but we survive with the bathroom sink and occasionally going upstairs and borrowing the kitchen.
We're renting out the basement of the condo owned by a really nice middle aged couple.
Also our carpet is a super terrible 80's red and green plaid design.
It's pretty hardcore.
All in all I like it. Not the perfect Man Cave. We don't have a separate entrance so having company come over is sometimes awkward walking through the upstairs living room. But it's a nice place. Somewhere I can hang my posters and display my movie collections (even the rated R ones).
It's been a month and things are going pretty good.
And I'm liking my job pretty well too. been there almost six months now. Nothing permanent, but it's stable and not too hard. It can get a little intense sometimes, but it's rewarding and I seem to be getting the hang of it more and more. I hate being on the phones, but it's not a traditional phone job. We speak over a custom made Emergency Medical Alarm box and speak with Emergency Services all day.
I also discovered that my eyesight isn't as awesome as I always thought. after a few weeks starting the job I got bad migraines that took days to go away. Found out it was eye strain and I got some glasses. it's a pretty week subscription (in fact I often forget to wear them) but aparently starring at dual computer screens 8+ hours a day will teach you somethings about your eyes.
on the plus side I've started reading more again.
My eyes don't get as tired the more I read anymore.....huh.
I went out a picked up a copy of The Screwtape Letters by C. S. Lewis, it's a book I've always figured I should give a chance but never figured I'd get around to. But why not, I was feeling particularly rich and it didn't cost that much. But then, once I started reading it I found it hard to put down...and it's not a hard read, or very big even. read about half of it in an hour or so, then a couple days later took a couple more hours and finished it off.
I don't personally know much about C. S. Lewis, but the topic of Christianity and Temptation were obviously subjects he studied quite a bit. Definately something he knew a lot about abd out a lot of thought behind. I'm not a very religious person, but I'd probably consider myself Christian. and reading The Screwtape Letters was probably the closest thing to a religious experience I've had in a couple years.
The ideas and he brings forth about the function of the Devil and his Demons is very entertaining as well. The book definitely makes you think, Which is exactly what I was looking for.
