I'm just sayin'!
Just a few sketches from the other night.
I was sitting around watching TV and letting the pencil roam over the pages. In the second image I got a little more serious although I did stay very rough.
This brings us to Image number 99 of the barbarians project. I guess that means I really need to do something special for the next one. Yikes. I had enough trouble getting this far I'm not so sure I can top it. Well, these days I have been taking more time with the images, so hopefully I'll have something impressive to show you.
On to other topics.
Well, last time we talked (or rather I talked you read, but hopefully you had some intelligent responses that you mouthed to yourself or grumbled under your breath) I mentioned trying to do at least one nice thing per day as a way to help me, and you, get over everyone being so angry and negative all the time.
I truly believe that we have come to a point in this society where everyone only worries about themselves. I think ware truly in the midst of the "me" generation. Now, I don't want people to think I'm some kind of socialist. I understand wanting to get ahead, wanting to have a little more, but does it have to come at the expense of someone else?
Example: Just today I was driving the car and came up to a "Stop" sign. Some !@#$%^ pulled up alongside me and tried to fly by on the right. As many of you know, I'm not one to remain calm during this type of situation and gunned my engine to stop him from cutting me off. In my dream of dreams he would run headlong into the beer truck that was at the corner, but I was denied. I'm not going to sit here and pretend I was being mature, but I'll be damned if some immature idiot is going to pull that crap on me and everyone else who was waiting patiently at the crosswalk. Of cousre, just to teach "Leadfoot" a lesson I also drove the exact speed limit until he got fed up and turned, giving me a farewell salute that I heartily gave right back.
I have to admit, I've had it. People in this country are so self-centered, so worried about how they might be put out by anyone else that something has to be done. This may just make me angry enough to go into politics. Although as we all know my background would never stand up to the piousness of the voting public. Of course, these are the same geniuses (me included) that vote into power every year another egocentric, power hungry self-obsessed moron that just goes to Washington or the state capitol to get a better view on how to screw over the population.
Here in Illinois the papers are constantly stunned when a politician gets his/her hand caught in the cookie jar or up some young woman's skirt. I say to the newspapers find me a politician that isn't trying to screw us over and then I'll read a story with my mouth agape.
If I have to watch one more interview with an idiot from the previous administration blaming the current one for all the problems the last three administrations caused I'll puke and while I'm down there I'll remember how the current crop of morons in Washington can't seem to get anything done because they're all up there attempting to protect their powerbases instead of doing the job we're paying them for, which is to get this country fixed and get our armed forces back where they belong. Hey Joe Lieberman could you be a bigger jagoff?
Ugh. Well, thank God that rant's over. Too much coffee and NPR I suppose. I should probably go back to drinking too much and being oblivious. Which reminds me Friday's coming. Woot!
Okay, not the greatest of days to be writing on my blog so I'll take a breath and come back to you with something worthwhile. Maybe a short story or something.
Thanks for letting me vent.
Cheers!
