I’ll probably never draw that comic, so this is the next best thing.
As soon as I get my head around you
I come around catching sparks off you
I get an electric shock from you
This secondhand living just won’t do
– “Head On” by The Pixies
I can spot these faux coffee carriers and drinkers like a hawk. And least fill the cup with water. You’re not that good of an actor, actors!
As I walk through the streets of my new city
My back feeling much better, I suppose
I’ve reclaimed the use of my imagination
For better or for worse
I’ve yet to know
– “Be Calm” by fun.
I was basically like a walking advertisement for every department in Target. After all, seeing is believing.
I’ve decided tonight I’m staying alive, just kicking and screaming
Blood boiling and steaming
There are things far too dark to comprehend
Sleep on it one more night, my sad old friend
– “Staying Alive” by Cursive
For some time now, I’ve been addicted to sadness and frustration. I know this, as I can feel the gaps when they grow. Like long silences in elevators to some, and unsaid words in conversations for others. It was nice to be–momentarily, of course–feeling something else. It’s an exhilarating moment in time, watching someone pick up a creation you created and react. And so that was glimpsed more than once at MegaCon 2012, where people seemed to enjoy my “bad comics”; heck, I even sold out of the horror-based ones!
I hope to feel this again.
A crown of gold
A heart that’s harder than stone
And it hurts to hold on
But it’s missed when it’s gone

NOTE: Will update this post as I finish the rest of them, hopefully before I go to sleep. FINISHED! WOO HOO! That’s two years in a row. Otherwise, it’s been a fairly ho-hum day spent indoors with cats, coffee, and crazy songs about soup. Y’know, daily life.
We were born with our eyes wide open
So alive with wild hope
Now, can you tell me why
Time after time
They drag you down
