Welcome to JAWC v2.5 : I'm Late for mah Update... It's hard to believe it happened, to believe that such an auspicious occasion would cause such melancholy... but hell, ain't my life that matters in this situation, happiness is something that should be sought after regardless of whomever searches for it. I can only hope that happiness and joy will follow wherever life takes them, and well, I already gave my toast... a new one will follow when the shindig occurs sometime next year... so here's to hopin' I don't break down when the time comes again... Sometimes I think growing up is learning to cope with emotions we'd normally let out, and instead bottle them deep inside and let them fester... or at least ignore them until it eats away at your soul... but then I realize I'm not like that and I just go around trying to accept the hard facts and live regardless... sure it seemed easy to just open my window and jump... but geez, that wouldn't do anyone any good... and plus it'd be stupid... what would it accomplish?... nothing.. that's what. So I continue on, trying to adjust to the rest of my life and try to move on, and let it be known that I am an emotional jackass... I'm the kind of guy who isn't afraid of crying, or letting people know he's upset... hell, I go around bitching and ranting because it's a way to release some of the pent up angst and overall sadness... and if it's one thing I learned over the years... anger is better than depression... so thanks to my shrink when I was younger, I try to get mad, not sad... unfortunately that's not always the case. Anyhow, I'm gonna scoot for now and work on inking pages 100 to 103... so I can get a few weeks ahead of myself again... cause after all, I can always bury myself in work and drown myself in movies and other nefarious personal activities... just to get my mind of the subject of my ... well, it doesn't matter much, cause it just... well, it sucks but it's a good thing. sort of. Regardless... see y'all next time, enjoy the comic and be well. - Tiki Man
