The New Year Approaches.

Patch wrote:Well my debt payoff isn't going as well as I hoped. I'm paying off someones debt, just not mine. I woke up this morning and found almost $1700 has been stolen from my account. Someone in the Houston area has been having a great time at my expense. They dropped $500+ at Game Stop. Filled up at Raceway. Got $200 in groceries at HEB. Hit up a Gold exchange for a few hundred. Went shopping at the Outlet Mall in Katy yesterday, and various other charges around town.  

Bank said it sounds like someone used a scanner to grab my card info. I'll be putting an end to this. I have one low limit credit card, I'll be using for all my shopping from now on. Then they can only steal a few hundred before they hit the wall.

I believe we have a duty to have a live get-together this year. I believe the options on the table are:

A comic con event in DFW followed (or preceded by) beer and snacks.
A casino night at Winstar. Mandatory Patch gambling lessons, followed by many, many drinks and crash in hotel rooms.
A movie night, meet at movie theater to watch xxx blockbuster scifi action fantasy film, then beer.

Or fourth option as proposed by whoever might think of it. (Cough cough kidnap Gonzo cough cough)

What do we think?

Season 3, Land of the Lost.  There is a recurring character called Malik.  He is a cro-magnon man and is a bully.  Sets himself up as a "god" to the Sleestak.

And he's portayed by Richard Kiel.

The same Richard Kiel who was Jaws from The Spy Who Loved Me.

I thought you bailed after Uncle Jack came in?

My last project (My Little Mothman New Year's Eve ball drop) turned out acceptable.

Now I am without a new idea.

I know things aren't equal, but I still don't understand why comic book asses is where we draw the line. I don't see people picketing at Redneck Paradise, where real live women wear skimpier outfits selling beer and burgers. I don't see people being outraged at strip clubs.

I can't get worked up over it. Yes, adolescent males like looking at boobs and booty. Let's boycott.

Patch wrote:Happy almost New Years.

I'm excited for the new year. I have a lofty goal that will take a big commitment and still might fall short. I want to pay off all my credit cards and my truck by the end of the year. It will be a challenge. I did take it easy on the cards at Christmas so I wont be carrying in a ton of Christmas debt. I don't make nearly enough to pull this off without work related bonuses, so I'll have to hustle to make it happen.  

I got an early start and paid one off yesterday. I'll take the money pay off amounts and just push them to the next lowest total until I have them all paid off. Then take the excess and put back until I have a bulk to refinance the truck. Then just throw all of it lower payment, until it's paid for. I need to pull down almost twice as much in bonuses so I need to keep my projects rolling and growing.

My goal for the new year is the same as the one for last year. I want to still be breathing one year from now.  

Only partly kidding. I have always been terrible at goal setting. I have a hard time picturing life as anything other than how I am experiencing it at any given time.

I don't know. Mid winter is a terrible time for me insomuch as I am cranky, irritable and mildly depressed. I'm not even drawing stuff right now. Maybe I'll feel refreshed after this last holiday passes.
