Real cowboys don't wear pants.

Did you guys and gals know that I was an all-american (pantless) cowboy when I was a toddler?
Well, I was.
(Also pictured : my grandfather on my dad's side)

This photo was probably taken in 1981 or '82.

Life with Little Iron Man : Part 3

Check out these awesome sunglasses I found on the floor at the comic store!

Don't worry though, I didn't keep 'em. I turned them in like you're supposed to do. :)

Life with Little Iron Man : Part 2

Sometimes when I'm doing superhero stuff I get really thirsty!

Life with Little Iron Man : Part 1

This was a button for my movie that came out!
Did you see it?
Boy, I must've seen it 3 times!

Back to work..

- April took this awesome Polaroid. I don't know what it is about it, but it blows me away. I don't understand Tumblr (why does everyone hate "e" now?), but she's got other pictures on there as well.

- Funnybook Babylon is Downcounting Backwards.

- I'm going to buy this shirt. Or, by all means, feel free to buy it for me since my birthday is in about a month. Size small.

- Kinda makes me wish all of Scott Pilgrim was in color.

- Jason is completely awesome at coming up with things that look cool enough that I wish they existed. I'd ride that thing everywhere forever.

- The Quiet Art of Cartooning.

Like it matters to him..

Best name ever?

Yes.

I took this picture with my phone in the small town of Highland, AR.

But life still goes on..

Happy Birthday, Sean!

As a birthday gift to you, I've chosen not to post some of the more.. questionable pictures of the two of us.

You're welcome.

And now you know it's true..

(We're always pal-in' around and laughin' and what-not.)

If you can believe it, Curt has updated!

Don't be sad...

Now that it's been announced, I can tell you that this is just one of the many things I saw on my tour of DC Comics that I'm not (or in this case wasn't) allowed to tell anyone about.

There are so many other things coming up that I will delight in talking about once I am allowed to, but until then I must honor the solemn oath I made in those fabled corridors.

New York City

I'm too melancholy for my own good sometimes.
It's really hot and sweaty here.
Smelly also.
Crowded.
I'm listening to Joey snore.
He's taken a ton of hella sweet pictures though.
Good first day of the show though.
I drew a bazilion Freddie Mercurys.

There's this too..

Basically the best picture ever.

He'd been thinkin' about it..

Pictures are out of order, but it's really, really late.

He'll have to sit and watch them all..

WiiFit + Camera phone = Self esteem

If you go..

The earliest known proof.

For fun..

One of my all time favorite pictures from the good ol' days.

Note to self : It's almost Thanksgiving, do not get sick.
Note to self #2 : I think I want to write a song or title an album "Jealous of Cereal" as that's a good name for a song or an album. (The center of the universe is planet Jealous of Cereal. Wow, who'll get that one?)

I stole this from The Ballroom Scientist.

In lieu of any real content, here's this..


Click the photo for notes.
This is me singing with Van Halen in May of 1998 in Boston, MA for those who didn't believe me.
I wish I was talented enough with Photoshop for this to be a fake, but it actually happened.
The proof was on MTV on the show "FANatic".

Stayed up one time.. (Updated)

Seven posts no one cares about in two days?!
Clearly I've gone "Content crazy".

Anyway, I've finally got all my birthday photos sized, edited, uploaded, and annotated for you to check out.
All you've got to do is click on that picture up there.
You'll see pictures of things I got, the birthday party that was held on Friday, and then photos from my actual birthday on Monday.
I'd also like to take this time to say that my Friend-Set is the best.
April is bestest, prettiest, sweetest, make me feel special-est girlfriend ever.
Extra special thanks to Curt, Sean, Joe, Clayton, Bonnie, Joel, Edward, Lynn, Nathan, Katie, James, and anyone else who helped organize or helped make my party a lot of fun.
I apologize to all of the people (of which there were many) who were at the party that I was too drunk or too busy partying to remember to take pictures of. (Dangle there you lousy preposition!)
So, yeah, I hope you enjoy them.

UPDATE : There were some perfectly nice and pretty pictures of April in that set that she didn't like so I had to delete them. I tell you this only because I want you to understand why there are no pictures of April.
Also, based on which pictures have been looked at (ie. the ones James is in and the one of the Dwight bobblehead), I know that at this point Maggie is the only person who's checked them out.

I can't stand it..

Photo provided by me. Minimates for photo also provided by me.
So the trailer for Iron Man is finally available to all of those who didn't see it on the Con circuit.
Though I attended SDCC, I didn't get to see it because the only panel I attended was the Episodic Gaming panel.. thank you very much, Curt.

Anyway, the trailer. Wow.
I never would have guessed in a million years this was a movie anyone would be able to pull off well, but all signs point to awesome if this trailer is any indication.
Of course, I know a 90 sec trailer and a 90 minute movie leaves a lot of room to screw the proverbial pooch, but as far as trailers go this one has me on board as much as any I can remember in recent memory has.
Well played, Favreau, well played.

the hardcore, the gentle..

You're damn right I met Power Girl.


I also saw the new Mach 5!
I could've jumped in it!
I could've then followed that up with a severe beating from the Con staff.

Self-made winter..

So, Sean.
Where are the updates?


Come on, Sean, don't be that way.
Be the other way.



There are 3 notes on this picture.
Wired has a great article on Penny Arcade.
Go enjoy it as I did.
Did I mention I met Gabe and Tycho in San Diego?
Well, I did.
Tycho was friendly and talkative. We talked about iTunes and their podcasts.
Gabe was busy playing Pokemon on the DS with some kid.
At first I was a little upset about this because it meant I didn't get to talk to him, but in retrospect, it makes me happy. I mean, one that little kid was getting to have fun and two, I don't know what I would have said to him.
Probably something stupid that I'd then wish I hadn't said.
