Hey folks! The 200th Episode of the IDIOTHEAD MORNING SHOW is up, and we're at episode #202 now, where I do my annual year end TOP 5 lists and all that. I will redo it here in the blog (see below) but this is audio extra content, plus my list of RIPs of people we lost this year. Download and subscribe via Itunes right HERE. Its free! Can't beat that!
I've been working on some card commissions this week, however I did go through a bout of sickness too. It really derailed me. A nice feeling of weakness and nausea. Awesome. But I am back to 99% today and feeling good. I need to rock and roll on these cards and other commissions tonight and this weekend and get caught back up. I'm really behind on shit. I need to light the fire here!
Scott is having his year end/Xmas parties at school and that is fun. Holidays are great now that I get to celebrate with kids. I finally get over my sadness over the holiday season of bad old memories and get to make new ones. I enjoy shopping for them. I made my oldest son happy by scoring him an Xbox360 and we got some choice things for the other kids too. Very exciting times. I just gotta shop for myself and the wife now. She's easy. Jewelry, fuzzy pants/socks. Etc. But I got a few fun things in mind for her. I won't state it here in case she happens to read my bloggy.
2014 CONVENTION DATES are already beginning! The MSU COMICS FORUM in Lansing, MI will be On Feb 22nd on the campus of Michigan State University. I'll be set up there for the third year in a row! For info on the show go HERE.
Also, I am going to be at CHERRY CAPTIAL CON May 23-25th. My first time there! Details on the show are HERE.

BEST MOVIES:

with the kids. But the two I have seen and will put on this list are)
Sound
City—EASILY My favorite movie of the year
Gravity
(and yes, TREK
isn’t on my list. WOW!)

Neil Peart
Smoke and
Mirrors – Neil Gaiman
These are the
Voyages – Cushman
The War of Art –
Pressfield
Happy Endings –
Jim Norton
(Hon. Mention:
Girlvert – Ashley Blue)
BEST EVENTS:
Concerts I went
to: Rush, Black Sabbath, Saxon. All fun events!
Wizard World – I
sold well. It was a great vacation. The aftermath home was not so good, but the
show itself went great.
Rediscovering my
Love of Vinyl Records – This is a newer development but I am submerged deeply.
Wife’s New Job –
Wife got a new job as the store manager of a FIVE BELOW and she’s kicking ass
at it. The money is better, she’s getting treated better and she’s really
performing well, so much so that the president of the company is noticing. This
leads too…
Me quitting The
Strip Club – A long time coming. Glad it finally happened. Read the aftermath
in my upcoming tell all book! (Due 2014)
WORST EVENTS:
Bankruptsy –
Declaring it was shameful but it worked out for the best for us. Happy we did
it now. But we’re working on re-building.
Scotts Meds –
Trying to figure out what will help him learn what he needs to has been a
roller coaster.
Star Trek Into
Darkness sucked my fat balls. Yes.
Dental Surgery –
All year I was dealing with a broken, rotten wisdom tooth. Got it pulled in
November and its been wonderful ever since. The surgery itself was easy as
hell, but the anticipation sucked.
10th
Wedding Anniversary – Not the Anniversary sucked, but we couldn’t really do
anything for it. I wanted to have a big event and gather our friends but with
everything going on, it just seemed impossible. I regret that we couldn’t.
Maybe for the 15th or 20th?
BEST TV SHOWS
Breaking Bad
Walking Dead
Toy Hunter
Doctor Who (especially
the 50th Special!)
For What its
Worth (helped me rediscover vinyl)
TOP THINGS I’M
LOOKING FORWARD TO IN 2014:
Finishing all my
projects. Especially my written books.
My 20th
Anniversary in comics celebration and convention tour.
Delving deeper
into my vinyl obsession.
Paying off all
cars with the wife’s new job bonus structure.
Continuing
improving myself physically and mentally and ignoring old bad habits like focusing on internet hate
and social media. Just disconnecting from it and not caring anymore.
Thanks for reading! Be safe this weekend! Peace and Love, Peace and Love.
