Yo everybody! I just created a new site called http://loudhorse.com that showcases my crazy creative side. Loudhorse offers unique T-shirts, unlike those other poser sites, and a daily comic strip. Mind you, my site is new and I'm learning, but I'll admit it's pretty ghetto right now.

Money is tight, but I recently opened a store at Cafepresss.com. Check out my site at http://www.cafepress.com/loudhorse.

I got lots of funny stuff, depressing stuff, religious stuff and all kinds of junk. It's mostly just a humorous store and anybody can open one. It's a way to make some dough for any creative soul such as myself. It hasn't paid any dividends yet but check it out and buy something if you like what you see.

For those of you that smoke, like myself, you should read “The Easy Way to Stop Smoking� by Allen Carr. And I’m talking about cigarettes, not crack. Sorry crack heads. Anyway it’s a wonderful book for those of you trying to quit the rotten tobacco demon. It basically dismisses all the myths and fears that people have about quitting smoking. Now before I sound like a hypocrite promoting this book and yet I’m still a smoker, let me tell ya, I quit for a while after I read it. However, I moved up North from Texas and I drove. And that’s a hell of a long drive of NOTHING, so I got bored and brought some smokes. Plus, my heart was hurting because my gal left me. But that’s no excuse for my weakness.

Is anyone else fed up with ESPN? They cover the same damn stories and people over and over and the other folks get squat. Who gives a damn about T.O. and Lebron James is the Ben Affleck of sports; overrated, however HE has talent. Anyway, I’m sick of the New York bias. They act like New York is the greatest place on fucking earth. Sure it’s swell; I’ve been there and my bro used to live there but spare me before I vomit out my ass. It sickens me. I hate the Yankees, although I do own a Yankees hat, so shoot me.

I work a job in production. Hold on a second, I’m securing the noose around my neck. Just kidding but it does truly suck ass. And a hairy ass at that, one that has a mustache. Anyway, it’s just dreadful. The same old routine over and over and it’s loud and you’re alone with your thoughts, which is good for me, but for some of the other unstable souls there, I can see how it could drive them to madness. I’m not being judgmental but some of the folks that work there are bottom of the barrel people that can get no better. I’m not being mean, that’s just how it is and most have accepted that. Some of them are alcoholics, unmarried and most are in as good as shape Teddy the 800 pound man.

What’s up you blockheads. I’m back after a long hiatus. I needed to find myself and didn’t feel the need to blab about it. Well I haven’t found myself and am going to blab anyway.

I moved to the Northwest and am currently up in Portland. Portland is okay but it’s hard to meet new folks, as it is with anyone moving to a new town. However the weather is depressing. It rains balls here all the time and it’s cold as Hell, especially for a Southern boy like myself. Anyway, I’ve noticed that the people here aren’t as friendly as down South. They are more standoffish and snobby. It’s like being back in High school with cliques and all that noise. I don’t understand it, and maybe I’m wrong, but that’s how it feels. I’ve been cruising Craigslist in order to meet some new folks but Craigslist you get what you pay for and you don’t pay shit. It’s funny how half the girls that are seeking men are dogs and wonder why no guys want them and why they have to post 80,000 times in order to get a response. Just a note, if a chick has a picture of the ocean instead of herself in her ad, she’s a hideous. That’s what I’ve noticed.

I am no longer myself these days. I blew it with a perfect girl, who can apparently see into the future. She is adament that I won't change despite all for my best efforts to tell her otherwise. Now, she's dating some old fool whose 13 years older than she. She says he is wonderful and great. Give me a break. She's on the rebound and this clown saw his opprotunity to swoop in and pull out all the tricks.

I haven’t written a blog in a while but this is my last one. I am officially resigning from Bloggerparty after this post. Blogging hasn’t brought me one cent but instead only a headache. Me and my gal broke up about two weeks ago after two and half years of dating. I wanted to reconcile and wished I would have acted sooner in doing so but I was stubborn and upset. And when I have a tendency to get upset I act in a brash manner and say things I don’t mean.

Who here hasn't picked up on the latest craze over the Chuck Norris jokes? It's hard to avoid. I hear them on the radio, see them on the net, and my friends are constantly calling me with new ones. Some of them are pretty stupid but others are quite funny. If you don't know what I'm talking about I'll fill you in with some of the ones that I've heard lately.

I’ve been watching the news and reading the papers and all that crap lately and it seems to me that World War III is on the verge of starting over some stupid cartoons. Goddamn cartoons people! Just like Mickey Mouse, or Homer Simpson, or Calvin and Hobbes, it’s a damn cartoon.

What’s up mothertruckers? I haven’t posted in a while and feel like swearing it off for good, but not yet. I know the source of my frustration and it stems from me being a dumb shit. I was perturbed that, although I do this for the love of writing, I wasn’t making squat for my life-altering writing skills.

Hey you fumb ducks! I’m in a good mood today. As most know I am an aspiring screenwriter, novelist, and cartoonist. Well I can say that I have now been published. Heck yes, I said published. I was published in the February 2006 issue of The Los Angeles Journal. I now feel that there is hope. Up until now life had been treating me like a baby’s diaper, but now I feel better. Sure I didn’t get shit for submitting my stuff and sure they put my old e-mail address in the publication so that folks can’t contact me but hey it’s a start. I found out about this glorious blessing on Craigslist.com.

I was watching Frontline on PBS last night. Normally, you would have to put my head in a vice to watch PBS. Normally, I would rather watch my own death. But last night I was watching the Frontline on the human trafficking and sex trade that goes on in Eastern Europe. It was really good and thought provoking. It made me realize how shitty some other parts of the world are, Sure we got pimps, prostitutes, and disease spreading whores here, but for the most part that lifestyle is a choice. These women from poverty stricken hell holes are lured and tricked into working in the sex trade market.

I started thinking of the most heinous thing that could happen to destroy a man’s existence. The only thing I could think of was losing your manhood and never being able to get it back. I assure you that I am not some morbid soul that relishes in the darkness of humanity. I got to thinking about it when I read something somewhere about some guy that had gotten raped and his marriage was falling apart because of it. He felt humiliated and was in disarray because during the act he had gotten an erection. It was an awful story and very disturbing. I couldn't shake it. I wanted to illustrate that pain in this story, because the world can be an awful place and you never know when you’re going to be the victim.

I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not the most religious guy on the block. I’m just as skeptical of the bible as I am of ordering Dominos pizza. Sure, I pray and I went to Sunday school as a little kid. Hell, I was a regular Billy Graham. Yet, I’ve always questioned the bible and its authenticity. Granted I understand that most parts of the bible are simply parables that teach lives lessons, but if you asked me if I believed that Noah built an arc and Jonah got swallowed by a whale I’d have to say no. It’s too outlandish and far fetched to logically say that really happened. In fact most religious scholars are acknowledging the fact that the stories in the bible didn’t really happen. They are not disputing the fact that there wasn’t a figure named Jesus who was the son of a carpenter and claimed to be the son of God. What I want to know is what is bogus and what isn’t. As I’m sure we all know, that they have been texts omitted from the bible, selected by the powers that be. Well what the hell do these texts say that they don’t want us to know? I want to believe that God loves me and that there’s a better place awaiting me when I die, but that’s hard to do. When I die am I just going to rot in a pine box while my hair and fingernails continue to grow and not even KNOW that I’m dead? I want to believe that I have a soul, but then again if I have a soul does a badger have a soul? What makes us so special? With science explaining the whole existence of the Universe, it sort of discredits God. Science is challenging faith at its core and religion as we know it. Science is scary and a lot of folks would just be happier if it would stop shaking the foundations of which their lives are based. What if God doesn’t exist? A long time ago there was no question that God existed, because there wasn’t the technology to disprove the fact that he didn’t. Plus, there was a fear to even question that he did. Now that’s changed and a lot of people’s believes could go up in smoke. I’m no heretic, but the Church has been bullying folks for centuries and now its very infrastructure is threatened. I guess what the bible really does is set guidelines for how we should live our lives. That’s the bottom line. We should just be good people and live our lives the best we can. I still believe that we can achieve immortality and go to a better place if we each try to live decent lives and help each other as much as possible, if such a place exists. I’ll still have faith because I’m too much of a chicken not to. I believe in the message of the bible, but will that be enough to get me to a better place when I’m long gone, IF such a place exists? I pray that it does. It’s a question of faith that will be answered for all of us one day. Till then I guess.
