The Demonweasel Speaks

So Iím real broken up about the Lakers off-season meltdown. Honest. I feel *terrible.* Kobe is such a little dick cheese, but yíknow, heís going to have a great time in prison. Seriously, heís going to do the easiest time known to man. I mean, whoís gonna mess with him? No one. To make it fair they need to send him to a prison in some third world country where theyíve never heard of basketball and donít care for celebrity. When it comes to playing, I have doubts as to if he can actually carry the team on his own (and I realize the irony of that, but thatís the Lakers way, team = one or two people doing well and everyone else being subservient to them. Did the Finals teach them nothing?). Either way, itís going to be nice to see him fall.

I do, however, hate the fact that Kenyon Martin has left the Nets. That sucks. We areÖnot going to do well. Make next season Iíll begin my relationship with the Knicks. Maybe. Weíll see. Iím getting psyched for football, and have even dusted off Madden í04 and managed to win myself a Super Bowl. Of course, I kind of fucked myself in the off-season, so weíll see if I make a repeat or not.

Iím adjusting to my new schedule and role at Dark Star. Itís fun, not a lot of stress, and enough work that youíre always looking towards tomorrow to finish what youíre trying to do. Thatís good, but it can be kind of frustrating constantly fighting entropy. Not to mention the fact that Iím wicked poor until I get paid. I actually applied for a credit card earlier in the week (tiny one, $500 limit) so weíll see what happens.

Iím trying to fit a new schedule for writing and exercising with my work schedule, so weíll see how that works. I had a good boxing workout on Monday which was good an invigorating, and Tuesday I pushed myself really hard on the weights, seeing as how it had been a couple of weeks since I had been in there. Needless to say, it doesnít help that the gym is hot as a bastard. Thankfully, the past few days weíve been past the face-melting heatwave.

Writing is going well, although I realize that I havenít done any the past few days. I like where ìLooking Backwardsî is going, and may post more of it soon. Iím always hesitant about putting up a work in progress, but then again, itís nice getting feedback from people (thank you Katie and Bobby). Iím like a psychic vampire in that respect. I always assume that once I get published and I know that what I write will be able to be out there for folks the words will flow like water, and Iíll be able to be one of those guys that puts out a book a year with three or four comic projects on the side.

I like to dream big.

I may also put up some stuff that Iím not terribly embarrassed about also. I feel like Iím saying ìIím a writerÖbut you can look at anything Iíve done.î Thatís lame. Chris poked at me for not letting him read more of the book, and I need to get back to that. Need, desperately, to get back to that. I should be able to do that and work on ìLooking Backwardsî at the same time. I should.

Shoulda, woulda, I remainÖ
