So yesterday I wrote about my encounter w/ the old dude in the leather cod-piece.
Today, I’ll tell you about something even worse.
As I was mentioning, I went to Mount Pleseant over the weekend to help w/ my GF’s yard sale. At one point in the day, her mom asked me to help her in the garage. When I walked in, I seen a comic book laying on a work bench. It was the Incredible Hulk, issue 181.
If many of you dorks like me out there know, this comic is the first appearence of Wolverine. It’s a classic. It’s old. It’s worth allot of money. About $1,000 to be precise.
There was a major problem though. Someone wrote, in ink, on the cover “Mom don’t throw in trash”. Also, someone cut out a coupon inside the book. Worthless. A classic comic ruined. For you non-nerds out there, this is the equivalent of a hot girl flashing her boobs at a party while you’re in the other room.
The irony in all of this is that her brother must of wrote this when he was younger and asked her not to throw it away because it would be valuable. But by leaving the note on the cover, he basically threw it away himself.
Over the weekend, I travelled to Mount Pleasent PA to help my girlfriend and her mom set up and run a yard sale.
On the trip up there I wasn’t paying attention and missed the exit, resulting in getting lost. I stopped at a gas station to ask for directions, but the two kids working there ended up getting me more lost.
As I drove in the middle of nowhere, I spied a bar on the side of the road, so I pulled over and went in to ask for directions.
It was around 8PM, and there wasn’t anyone in the bar yet, except for the bartender. I explained my situation, and he proceeded to give me directions.
However, about halfway through this, his co worker came out of the back and all of the sudden I lost train of thought and could no longer concentrate.
Turns out I was in a gay bar. The guy from the back had to be at least fifty years old and about fifty pounds overweight. He wasn’t wearing a shirt. Instead he had leather straps that crossed over his chest and were attached by a big metal ring. He wasn’t wearing pants either. Only a tiny leather bikini.
I rule at life. Part two tomorrow.

Wow I haven’t written in quite a good while.
The time of day that I allot to writing on here has been taken up recently and I haven’t had a chance to post anything.
Still, as I sit here, absent for over a week, I can’t think of a damn thing to write about. I am the suck.
What should I write about?

I must’ve cried at least four times during this movie. It made me wanna be a “tramp” and leave modern luxury and civilization and run away to nature. I’ve always wanted to take a trip across country and just be free and happy. How fun would that be :0
Ultimate Freedom!! I think our culture is too caught up in money, materialism, and greed; all these things shield the free essentials of life that really matter and really make us happy. Money doesn’t buy life-long love or happiness. Whens the last time you took a minute to stop and listen to nature, stare at the sky, enjoy every breath, and just take it all in?
With that said, I definitely recommend this movie. Go rent it!

It’s Friday and I don’t feel like writing anything poignant today. Instead, heres a picture. It’s of new line of four shirts I created for Bambino clothing. I like when I finish big projects like this because:
A: Its nice to finish a big project and relax for a second
B: I have a new portfolio piece
3: I get that sweet cash
So yea. Have a good weekend.

Here’s another hot tip from my brain I’m sharing w/ all you hard working freelancers out there.
It seems in my research, I’ve discovered you’ll do better with people if you actually talk to them over the phone versus busting them a fly email. Now, of course, face to face is the best medicine, but this tip applies to when it’s impossi-bull to meet them in real life.
The best way to go about this is to simply offer to call them to discuss business. Just let them know it’d be easier to discuss matters over the phone and ask for their number. You can offer yours and ask them to call you, but research shows (my research) that they’ll almost never call. BUT, they will answer when you call them.
It seems like common knowledge, but it took over a year for an idiot like me to realize this so I thought I’d share.
