I’m at Chicago Comicon this weekend!

Well, that's about the long and short of it. I've been trying to beef up my own website, so I've been doing "blogs" there for a short minute - which explains my disappearance on "MySpace". If you get ...

The End Of Something Big

It ain't cool, having a summer cold. Turns out that waking up at five in the morning gets you a lot more hours in the day, but it's not ultimately wise to still be going to bed at midnite, one a.m. I ...
