Funny or Die?!

So it turns out the folks at Funny or Die are serious. If this video isn't moderately successful, I shall become a statistic. You know, like one of those people who watch The Cougar. Anyway, go watch the video and click funny. Or I have a bad feeling that there will be blood. oh yes, there will be blood. Probably my own. Will Ferrell and Judd Apatow don't play around.

Into The Unknown

I am, for lack of a better phrase, a big guy. There is no denying that. No getting around it. (or me for that matter. yes, I got jokes.) So I have decided that I need to start doing something about it before it's too late.

So I am doing a lot of walking, riding a bike and the lot. The real thing that is hitting me hard however is the fact that I am giving up on soda. Now to the average person it's probably not that big a deal. However to me, it is. You see I am what most would call "addicted" to caffine. It's not a pretty sight to say the least, but I am trying. I love irritable and short tempered I am because of it. Makes for me being a lovable oaf.

In other news Blank-Fest WI 2008 is merely 2 months away. Last years was a huge success and we would love those who can to make it out to the 2nd Annual extravaganza. The Vanishing Art, Hail Archer, The Argonauts, Mohr Ave will be performing, as well as the first solo performance by the former lead singer of Shameless Place, Andy Schonert.

Essentials.

Image via WikipediaSo today is a very lazy day around the house so I've been sitting on my ass reading some old collections of comics that I have. One of the ones that is really good is the Avengers. It starts off when the team forms to take on Loki and and also has (in issue 4)the return of the star spangled avenger, Captain America. The only real problem that I have with the book is that they over explain everything.

Now I know that Stan Lee had the premise set up that the issue you were reading was someone's first issue somewhere. So they had to always have Tony Stark say something like "Lucky no one knows that billionaire playboy Tony Stark is really the Invincible Iron Man!" That can get on my nerves alot.

Same with Thor and Dr Donald Blake. Always talking about the fact that he would just have to strike his walking stick upon the ground and the Mighty Thor would come about.

I guess I just needed to post about something. Things aren't exactly going that great. I can't seem to find an artist for the comic that I want to write, and I seem to be running into a snag with the project I am working on with my friend. Not a bad snag, but more of a "I don't know exactly how to do this" kind of snag. Living in Wisconsin has kept me detached from the Hollywood World, so I don't know alot of the ins and outs. I'm trying to keep up. I really am.
