okay...for those of you who are actually interested in the comic...i am no longer going to give a release date...not until i am holding a printed sample in my hand that is. every missed release date i fear lowers my credibility in the eyes of those anticipating the comic. so, until it is actually printed, this will be my last real update on it, so,...

Hell yeah! That's fucking awesome, man! I hope it all goes well and the interest is there from the buyers. All the best of luck.
If your stuff is already up and running by the time i get my stuff ready to go this summer (i hope) then maybe i can plug your book for you, maybe get you some fans here in the dirty south.

okay...so...here's an attempt at giving you all the story with the comic...
...once upon a time, i wrote a comic book. or rather, i wrote a long story that was to be turned into a comic book series. then i lost touch with my artist and the story sat on the shelf getting dusty. then, there came the idea to turn my comic book into...

Whazzizup?
My favorite saying to that effect is "somedays you're the windsheild and other days you're the bug, and i've been the bug all day long."
How's the comic going? Hook up a brother with the 411.
Later.

aside from that...it's all the same. wake up at 6am, work from 7am to 9pm, come...

Congratulations. I hope it all goes as well my friend.
Thank you for the sentiments in my journal, man. It's okay by the way, i don't need or want that happy happy, joy joy bullshit. Just the advice and support of those who care for me and whom i care for in return. Thank you, again.
All of this has brought on good things as a result, though. I hopr to have something to show you and everyone else soon. The creative juices are flowing almost too quickly. Not that i'm complaining, mind you.

awesome, good job
gragh! the comic book has been pushed back 2 weeks it never fails, make a plan, tell everyone about it, then there's a delay which causes others to doubt you! every fucking time! 
just once i'd love for a plan to follow through just as planned! oh well, shit happens, right? enough bitching.

joshof13thfloor:
Hey, man. Thanks for the concern about my condition. I'm pretty sure i'm gonna live. As it turns out i have an extremely bad case of Sleep Apnea, which in case you don't know, means that i have constricted airways which keep me from breathing properly at night while i try and sleep so that in turn makes me a zombie and life not a whole lot of fun. The mask i've been given is a pain in the ass and i'm having difficulty getting used to it but i'ts better than waking up in the middle of the night choking to death.
It sounds as if the comic being pushed back, while at first glance sucks, might be a blessing in disguse if it means your putting out the best product possible. Remember, i still want to see it sometime. It would be heartwarming to see a fellow indy wannabe become an indy success. Oh, and i think it's too cool that you get to help advertise SG. That rocks hard.

it's getting oh so closer! closer to the release of my comic book! the friday after next! january 16th! incase you can't tell...i'm a LITTLE excited! everyone should check it out, even if you're not big on comic books, the story line (i feel anyway...of course, i'm a little biased considering i wrote it) kicks ass. it's called "The Dream Life of Death," and i'll...

Underworld? Haha! That looks like the worst movie ever!
Like a cheesy goth flick. But then again, previews often mislead...
Hmm, but if you say it's good maybe I'll give it a chance...
Congrats on the comic!

Whazzup?
I haven't read as much Clive Barker as i'd like but i have read a few and what i read i enjoyed.
I fucking love Neil Gaiman, man. I wish i could read more but i just can't afford anything right now. I used to collect nearly all of the original Vertigo titles back in the day. On the day i got married i had my favorite Hellblazer t-shirt on underneath my monkey suit.
This is going to make me sound like such a loser but technically i have never actually written much of anything in the sense of actually putting pen to paper. I have no real talent with the written word i simply consider myself to be an excellent story teller. I have roughly twenty years and a whole damn galaxy worth of stories and characters floating around in my head. If it is true that a writer writes and an artist creates then i don't know where i would lie within those classifications, nowhere i suppose.
Oh well, not that it matters in the real world. Why couldn't i have been born with a passion for law or medicine? Anything concrete and profitable. Damn.

okay, am i just completely psycho?...and before there is an answer to that, let me tell you why i'm asking...
yesterday i was sitting at my computer at the print shop, typesetting, when my boss came around and told me in a hushed voice "don't tell anyone, but, starting next week i'm giving you another raise." well, my weird mind got to working and i...

Hah, actually work was insane-busy and I had to deal with a lot of nutcases... but surprisingly, I think the sleep deprivation helped! It made me sorta not care, I think.
Hmm... actually I think it's very selfless of you to put your coworker first like that! But I'm not surprised your boss said no. They're probably giving you raises because they like the results you get them... so it's not really transferable. I say, take the raise and do something noice for your coworker to at least show that YOU appreciate the work she does! (but, of course, don't tell her about the raise )

Please keep me posted when you can. I can't speak for anyone else but i for one am interested to see you get it done.
Peace.
