it's been so long since i've done comics
i haven't felt right
and it's more because of tv being mostly news now
and because the news is always depressing
i've been trying a lot
and never doing
and i'm so sick of that, that i could vomit!

speaking of sick (nice link, if unintentional)
i've apparently caught something
but i'm not the only one, so i'm not worried
it's been going around, i hear
if it were just me, i'd be understandably
quite worried about my health
and being as i have no health insurance
i'd be fucked if i were dreadfully ill.

nicole (non-sister one, of course, since
my sister doesn't even know about this)
in case you've noticed the lack of wacky messages
in your diary, i'll let you in on a secret-
i've not gotten the chance to read your diary in a while
eventually, you will see a great many comments by richard dean anderson
cause i'll get to it sometime
it's just most of my computer's hard work nowadays goes to downloading songs for my sister
actually, it's almost constant now.

you'll notice that i hardly say anything good about america on this blog
and that is because there really isn't too much that's good to say about it
but i do have some amount of national pride, some kind of caring for it
not for what it is
but for what i know it *could* be
and it could be great
just so happens that there are too many things
wrong with it for that to be so
the right people in charge could fix it
but it just so happens that the wrong people are in charge
i'm never going to tell anyone to rally behind bush
that would be the dumbest thing anyone could do
cause he's an idiot
just because there's a tragedy
and we've all come together
doesn't mean you have to leave thinking at the door
think about it-
bush was ruining the country before this
now he's got nearly everyone behind him
and soon he'll get us into a war
(which is bound to bring further ruin, one way or another)
and if we win, he will be deemed the big hero
and probably is already being called so by at least some
and why?
because people have stopped thinking
just gotten in line behind him
eventhough he could very well be marching them all off a huge cliff
and probably is.
so don't lose your minds
keep them well about you
because you can be damn sure than osama does
twisted as his reasoning may be, he's thinking
and he's already ahead of us
so i'm sure that if ground troops go in
they will probably be annihilated
and if we bomb, he'll be long gone

it is
as are so many other things
like chess
and right now
we're making moves that aren't really thinking about consequence
and i'm damn sick of hearing about peoples' prayers going out to people
i'm not into the whole stinkin bible thing, and i don't fancy hearing about it
every 5 bloody seconds
but that's another matter altogether.
and is certainly not to say that i don't hope for the best for victims and families
and all that sort of thing. i just don't think religion necessarily enters into it.

so, i'm reading pokey the penguin again.
i really like it.
hopefully, i'll figure out where i was in the archives
and pick up reading it again
maybe that'll help me make comics
as i'd really like to do
man, would i
i miss them.
i miss doing them.
i miss reading them afterward
and laughing at my favorite part
being satisfied that i've done something good
good enough for my friends to read
*sigh*

anyway, here, if i can find them
and as promised
are the songs i've been writing to the list-

first, the macgyver one-

"i make stuff
from other stuff
and it saves my ass
from the trouble i'm in

and when they
come to get me
all they'll find is an
open vent or window and

i've got some tricks up my sleeve
i'm macgyver and
i've got some tricks up my sleeve
and you can all watch me on your tv
and you'll see the tricks i've got up my sleeve"

now the one for simon and simon-

"it's simon and simon
and simon and simon
and simon and simon
and simon i know
that there's only the two
but i just couldn't stop because
simon and simon are here

it's been quite a long time
but they've finally arrived
on a plane from greece
just like kojak

and i don't know if what they say's
true 'bout that one guy
but rumor is he is a cat
in a big mechanical suit

and he's simon and simon's
his partner, they're
simon and simon and they
are controlling our brains

cause they're simon and simon
and who can resist their
simon-iacal charms?"

and i think i'll include the one from mork and mindy
and omit the infinitely better one from mister belvedere
at least for now-

"hot alien monkey love, come and get it today!
hot alien monkey love, try it the alien way!"

not as high-minded as the others, if you'd call them that.
the trouble is, i have so much trouble doing songs otherwise.
like, when i'm "serious"
(put in quotations advisedly, as i don't usually do anything
without a bit of humor in it, but these i just came up with
half as a joke
but half because i wanted to see if anyone would comment
and jim has complimented me nicely
and i thank him for it)
i just can't write.
maybe it's the little notepad
maybe it's what's been in the news
maybe i'm just in a slump

but i hope that being able to make up things as jokes
will lead to being able to better make them up
as serious art
which is what i really want to do.

i've come up with ideas for the brady bunch
and kramer vs. kramer
but i'm not gonna push it

besides, it was one of those things
where i shoulda written it down
right when i thought of it.

coming up sometime, the mr. belvedere song!
but for now...
bed.

good night.

well, the last post i made got chewed up and spit out and then stepped on
somehow, and don't ask, cause i've no idea how
but anyway go to goats.com cause jon lives in ny
and the whole thing happened quite in his back yard
so he has quite a perspective on the whole thing

things are at least a bit better than they were before
and i'm liking mink car (which my lost post mentioned me getting on the 12th)
more and more as the days go by
it's good stuff, says i.

i'd like to point out that i don't think america was attacked because it's
such a huge symbol of freedom
because it wasn't
and you're gonna hear a lot of crap about that going around
but fact is, some people from the middle east
and mind you, not all middle easterners
and don't go picking on any just because they have that background
anyway, some people in the middle east are poor
and they think money is just handed out to everyone here
and they are against the israelis, cause of the whole
"they've been fighting over israel for years" thing
and they think we favor israel and help them out
and this is one that i like to add in
though noone else does
d'yever notice how muslim women wear veils?
d'yever notice how american women can walk around in bikinis if they so choose?
the people i'm talking about are fanatically religious
(and many other muslims are against them, by the way, because the fanatical ones are going by things that aren't in the koran- especially the killing and terrorism part, that's nowhere in the koran)
and might well be deeply offended by this
i mean, a girl did get rocks thrown at her on road rules for wearing shorts, it might just play a part.
anyway, of all the things i've heard on tv as to why they've done this
the most sensible of the "they're afraid of our freedom!" things is this-
they feel threatened by our democracy
and i say that because they all have dictatorships.
anyway, so that's it from me
don't harrass people
just be nice

to end on a better note, i've been posting to the list
me and jim, back and forth
and he likes a song i wrote that i'll eventually post here
along with another that i did
they're both fake tv themes
one for macgyver, and one for simon and simon.
i's happy about that
now if only i can manage to bring the same sort of
ease of pen, i guess i'll term it
to my real songs
i'll learn someday
hopefully soon
