We live such crazy lives. Everyday something comes along to take us down. So we try distractions to keep our heads in sync and attempt to stay sane. We all have our little things that do this for us. While all around us, violence, wars, racism, sexism and other disgusting things occur. I'm not a voice to tackle those things beyond my own back porch, so I will not attempt to try. There are others more qualified to do so.
What I can do is work hard to provide distractions for myself and for you. I want to remain a place to come and be entertained and fuel the thoughts and concepts preaching that life is good. Life can go on and it will all be ok.
Personally, I know there are things coming up that I am looking forward to. In August, I am moving back to East Lansing for a year. Shortly after that I am due for another raise at the day job, where I will celebrate one year of being there. Having a home (especially when I love the day job so much) is such a welcome concept. In September I am going on a (gulp) camping trip. Well, sorta. There is a drive in showing a whole weekend full of exploitation horror movies and we are going to go and camp out there all weekend and get drunk with my new friends. I'm really looking forward to that.
I've been enjoying new movies on Netflix. Stuff like DEATHGASM and I AM THOR. I'm ramping up excitement for GHOSTBUSTERS. Not so much the reboot movie, but all the stuff coming out with it to promote the brand.

| Like light up Stay Puff and the Animated Series re-release. Maybe I can finally get my kids to watch a new cartoon at my place! |

| And lookie what my girl got me! A whole case of ECTO COOLER! I haven't had these since the late 1980's. Today I took my first sip. It was like my childhood come back to greet me again! |
Yes, there is a new STAR TREK movie coming too but I'm not that excited about it from the trailers. But hey, we get one. And we get to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of my favorite sci-fi franchise ever. Plus a new STAR WARS movie not too long after that!
And then in October: Halloween is always a fun time for me. I've got my eyes set on getting even more decorations and probably throwing another party at my new place with friends. Thanksgiving after that, where I always cook a huge meal for the kids. Then of course, Christmas... which I am enjoying more and more with each passing year. There's so much to look forward to.
...oh yeah.. and FOOTBALL!
I get to spend time getting to know my girl better. We're working on building a future together and that makes me happy.
There are other things to look forward to. Excitement will abound as I build the new concept and keep it up and running. Putting pencil back to paper and warming up the Microns and Wacom Tablet again has me excited. After a couple months break (where I didn't even know if I WOULD come back), its good to know that I have come away feeling refreshed and ready to tackle new challenges.
Every day I am presented with a new problem. Something trying to take me down. Something to get depressed about. Something to be angered with. Its never going to stop. I've accepted that, finally. But what I can do is strive to make TODAY the best I can make it. Remember the past, live for today. And maybe the future won't be so bad. As I find a way to make room in my life for every little thing I want to do, like and enjoy. I'll just simply: LIVE MY LIFE.
Its what we all strive to do, right?
So as much as I am angered and mad at the world for what seems to be going on daily around us, and how the idiots seem to keep bubbling up... we cannot let it distract us from our happiness. We have to continue to live our lives. We have to keep moving forward.
Because there is so much good to see and do in this world. Join me won't you?
