I can’t believe I forgot that online comics are called “webcomics”…duh…

PVP - More video game tomfoolery, with heart:

———-

Questionable Content - Despite originally being about emo music (now it’s more about relationships) the writing and art grabbed me:

———-

Real Life - Amusing life-based comic…with video game and TV references, of course:

———-

Something Positive - Dark, dark humour:

Extra Life - Amusing video game strip

———-

DM of the Rings - Lord of the Rings as a D&D module. I cast Magic Missile at the darkness!

———-

Goblins - I seem to read a lot of D&D based comics. This one has great art and went from humourous to serious, but still interesting.

———-

Least I Could Do - Rayne is my hero, and a total childish misogynist. The strip has gone through a couple artist changes and the newest stuff is gorgeous.

———-

Penny Arcade - Video game craziness

Inspired by Toren’s recent flurry of posts about cartoons he likes, I’ve decided to do something similar with my favourite online comics, which I read every couple weeks, on average. I’ll put a handful of them up every post in a series, so you don’t get overwhelmed: ———- Breakfast of the Gods - Your cereal icons have grown up. Great art! ———- A Softer World - Bizarre narrative for pictures. %^$&ed up. ———- Nodwick - If you don’t know who Nodwick is then you’ve never read a Dragon magazine. D&D humour! ———- Butternut Squash - Bachelor fun. ———- Ctrl-Alt-Del - Crazy video gamer antics. More to come…

You Are Pretty Happy


You generally have a happy, fulfilling life.
But things could be a little better, and deep down, you know it.
Maybe you need more supportive friends or a more challenging career.
Something is preventing you from being totally happy. You just need to figure out what it is!
How Happy Are You, Really?

Last night I was tidying up some clean laundry that was left on a living room chair when I noticed I was holding some thong underwear I’d never seen before. That caused me to realize I had not seen Mellissa in her underwear for the better part of a year now.

I had to turn away from the kids so they wouldn’t hear the choking crying sounds. This kind of thing will happen sometimes, just all of a sudden, but I will have to inure myself to it. The woman I fell in love with and promised to spend the rest of my life with hasn’t existed in almost three years, and I should not cry for something that has been over for so long…it’s just that I didn’t know until somewhat recently.

On more uplifting news I re-did my personality type test on OKCupid. I used to be The Last Man on Earth, which I’m sure endeared me to prospective applicants on the site…NOT. I have definitely changed, and am now The Pool Boy.

Dance, Poolboy, dance!

Tonight I competed in a karaoke contest. The winner will win $1,000.

I thought it might be a cakewalk, given that there was only about a dozen people there, but apparently the best from each week return in April for the finals. Poo.

I sang “Love Me Tender” a la Elvis, and was the only singer that anyone danced to, so I think I got bonus points for audience participation. If I’m right, the DJ was in charge of the score and my name was at the top of his list, and not just because my last name begins with an A.

Then I made the mistake of trying to sing “Hotel California”. I started singing during the extended instrumental intro, then got flustered so I think I was half an octave above where I should have been. It’s not good when you can clearly hear your voice over the music while on the stage.

Still, for a guy who has sang in public only once before and has social anxiety disorder, I think I did pretty well. Luckily a guy from work came out to help bolster my courage (thanks Ric!).

Last night I was discussing how I felt with friends and as I rambled the topic turned to why my marriage fell apart. Mellissa was always a very romantic person and followed her heart, while I was always a very logical person and rarely showed emotion. I only talked when I felt it was necessary, preferring to listen. My penchant to listen instead of talk was the first thing that Mellissa noticed and appreciated about me when she first saw me way back in the late 80’s (or was it early 90’s? So long ago…).

My lack of passion due to emotional withdrawal, my yelling at the kids and my inability to talk about our problems started Mellissa down the road to frustrated depression and a search for the “fire” she needed in her soul.

So, Dr. Blog, I have made another insightful personal discovery…the reason that I have been such a cold fish, and will now do my best to turn this around as well.
