Become my horse father for another week while the Jelly is in Iraq fighting uselessly....

Welcome back for another exciting and equally depressing edition of Adam’s blog. You’ve been warned.

Well, I finished Art duties on WISE INTELLIGENCE #3. The entire project is officially complete. Just have to send the copies to Ryan and then its getting lettered. I’d say it came out very nice. He’s happy with what he’s seen and I am glad that I got the experience of working on someone else’s words again.

I’ve started work on a new one shot book out of BOOMTOWN STUDIOS called “THE EXPENDABLES.” A total spoof/MAD Magazine vibe to it. Its gonna be tons of fun to draw, I can tell already. I’ve thumbnailed out pages and plan to start it this weekend. Cool thing I’ll reveal now… It will be IN COLOR! My first comic in color. I’m quite stoked. I’m not coloring it though. The Boomtown peeps will be doing that. But I am anxious to see it and how it works. Maybe I’ll do a Pleasant Life color special one day. Need more sales for that though.

The wife and Ted are heading to Mt. Pleasant this weekend. Ted’s going home and the wife is going to have a weekend of drunken debauchery with her friends up north. I will not be going along. I’m staying home for some “me” time and to start work on art projects. I hear my characters calling my name. “Hey.. you haven’t worked on us in a while! What gives?” Looking forward to some quiet time to reflect and get crazy on my art attack, as the great Mark Kistler would say.

I’m pretty down this morning. Sometimes I feel like I am pretty damned unappreciated. I try so hard to please everyone and I seem to always fail without meaning to fail. If I don’t fail, I always seem to be the one to shoulder the blame and the burden of making things better. Sometimes I don’t know what keeps me together. I just want to climb a mountain and scream. I want to fall apart and say FUCK IT and walk on, forgetting my troubles. A lot of people do that. Not me. I face it. I’d rather not. Cause I didn’t do anything wrong. Ever feel that way?

I also feel that I need to do more reading in my life. I used to read some pretty deep shit. I should be reading and writing more. Once I have this weekend of cleansing my mental and artistic palette, I’ll be better in my headspace. I think anyway.

Shane should be coming over for another podcast this week. And I plan to get good and drunk at least one night this week. I never, EVER drink. But I feel I need to now. Maybe loosen myself up. Get this crap off my chest. Why do I let people, places and things get to me? I have no clue. I just try so hard to please everyone. I should start trying to please myself more often. Perhaps I’d be better off.

I watched the season premieres of FAMILY GUY and HEROES this week. Both were equally fun and entertaining. Tonight the season premiere of GHOST HUNTERS will be on Sci Fi. Definitely going to be watching that. Shane is going to lean me his THE OFFICE DVDs. Hopefully I can get to watch those this week in-between drawing.

I hope none of this post sounds depressing to you all. There’s nothing really that can be done. I’ve got far less problems than other people I know and have read about. And I know I can bare anything that life throws at me. So I don’t want to be “poor little me” about it. I’m still standing and nothings taking me out yet. To those thoughts that make me stumble, I say a big “FUCK YOU” to it. I’m tired of dwelling in suffering and I don’t have the passion to put up with B.S. anymore.

Much love to you all, T
