Hello from the Everglades, where the Party doesn’t stop even as we slowly fall into the ocean. It will just be party streamers and cocaine in the sea when all is said and done. This week has been all over the place, with a crap disruption thanks to what I think was food poisoning one of the days. One day and the whole damn machine goes down it seems, so I’m playing catch up. There might be disruption again to the Blog and everything else soon, as I could be possibly moving and well generally pulling up my life here in the Florida sun to somewhere new and most likely terrifying but in a good way. I think, and I hope. Nothing gets really done without a bit of apprehension and fear, the secret is to have a grin on your face while doing it.
Miami is a place where the magic of nature churns into the high energy of cocaine-addled partygoers. It’s Valhalla for assholes here folks, don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. There is so much awesome power in the concrete here energy that is young untamed and inexperienced. It’s the youthful stupidity that courses through, all power no wisdom. Miami is lightning in the bottle but the bottle is top shelf and bought by idiots and spoiled by them as well.
Because stupidity is dangerous. Want proof?
So even the eternal wisdom of many cultures places the need to fight such idiocy at all costs, but here and now with so much info we know less and act on this ignorance even more!
Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but he who hates reproof is stupid.
–Proverbs 12:1
Claiming to be wise, they became fools,
–Romans 1:22
One who is wise is cautious and turns away from evil, but a fool is reckless and careless. A man of quick temper acts foolishly, and a man of evil devices is hated. The simple inherit folly, but the prudent are crowned with knowledge.
–Proverbs 14:16-18
Leave the presence of a fool, for there you do not meet words of knowledge. The wisdom of the prudent is to discern his way, but the folly of fools is deceiving. Fools mock at the guilt offering, but the upright enjoy acceptance
Proverbs 14:7-9
Going to The Quran states
{2:170} and when it is said to them, follow what Allah has revealed, they say: Nay! we follow what we found our fathers upon. What! And though their fathers had no sense at all, nor did they follow the right way.
(In other words not follow blindly)
Meanwhile, in the Talmud, it states:
Courage is only courage when it is connected to wisdom. Risking one’s life or health for fun or thrills is immature. Not only is this immature, but it is also dumb. The Sages ask: “Who is a wise person? One who foresees the outcome.” (Talmud – Tamid 32a)
What is really scary is that not only does much of this apply now to the current world we live in, but it was written without the knowledge of something like the fucking INNANETS around to give this a turbo intake power boost to it all.
If I ever had to hear about the Devil’s work, Idle hands should be changed to IDIOTS HANDS.
In terms of a “solution,” Bonhoeffer offers the following:
“Only an act of liberation, not instruction, can overcome stupidity. Here we must come to terms with the fact that in most cases genuine internal liberation becomes possible only when external liberation has preceded it. Until then we must abandon all attempts to convince the stupid person.”
I still say” beating the fuck out of them” should be an option. Call me traditional.
I feel like we need to be on the offense, and be on the ball. The problem is that the normal decent people are so fucking normal and cent, we are paralyzed into doing anything, or as this scene sums up beautifully:
Just as this was end all be all on the nose, I also think of Charlie Chaplin’s speech in the “Great Dictator” that I play for myself when I have that moment of wanting the asteroid to hit.
If I guess there ever was something I wanted my work to do is to battle the forces of idiocy and ignorance more so than ever. I mean the Punisher and Batman have their War on crime why not a War on the People who talk on their phones with the speaker on, in the middle of Walgreens at 10 pm?!?
Yeah, I’m looking at you Bitch.

Trying to find a workaround for the loss of the IPAD I had, to keep doing two projects started on it, both “POWERS THAT BE” and “MEATHOOK: PACHANGA” 3 partners are sort of held in limbo right now because the first 8 pages of each were done like so and trying to find a way to adapt it has been a fucking problem, to say the least. Matching brushes in photoshop so it can keep going and working with the WACOM will not be easy but I think can be done. Let’s see. Here is another Sneak peek for you guys, keep in mind that Work in PROGRESS:
Also, ZOMBIE YEARS and VIGIL keep marching on on WEBTOONS:

Also coming up A KID AND A COMIC will be going I’ve soon, with :
Just had a little phone meeting with KENNY and he says they are super excited about it. I’m glad, and supposedly a lot of folks are watching for it, so let’s see what happens.

WHATNOT is going strong, and feel a bit better about the endeavor. I’m digging seeing people come back, not so much to buy (LOV WITH MONEY OR I’LL HATE YOU WITH HAMMERS!) but also as Fans and almost friends, just sitting around drawing talking shi, and listening to tunes. It’s my Nerd gateway to keep in touch with that world but since it’s all type and me speaking so yeah, I’m right at home.






I have some painting ideas I hope to bang out and show off this next weekend at MIAMI COMIC CON on the 19th! I don’t have banners so I will try paintings, man, it!

THIS WEEK:

So As I said, something may change for a bit before I get my bearing. There is a possible new job in the works coming soon, also opportunities in other parts of the country and even overseas. I’m just trying to see what is what. I have to get rid of so much shit and figure out what to do with other shit, so much that I am really scratching my chin at it all. Fuck I wish I could get a break and get a studio and just settle down into some long-term work but everything is a breakneck sort of venture, which minis you isn’t too bad. I say this because it keeps you on your toes, but by the same side, I haven’t had any real peace to myself and my work for like 7 years, no long-term calm to develop and make something more so than what I have now. FUCK MY ASS. Sorry, it’s just part frustration, and part self-deprecation, allow me to wallow for a bit.
Wallow.
Wallow.
Wallowing.
A little more
Wallow.
And Done.
All right, thank I need to get that out of me and tomar un jugito y para el mariconeria.
A problem is not a problem when you have a solution. You just might hate the solution, which is the problem.
