New Year 2.1 Patch!

So, we're ten years deeper into the holocaustic, post Y2K apocalyptic world where black is white, up is down and nothing is as it seems...oh wait, no we're not, but it's fun to pretend [Side Note: Drive throughs are faster with Mel Gibson in a semi truck]. But it's only a matter of time until 2012 when big bunch of nothing hits the fan and the doomers are disappointed again.

Fun times are afoot lately. My phone is down and my email has been having troubles. So my requirements are taking a long time to finalize. If you could see me now, I'd be striking a Fonz-esque pose and saying "Ayyyy!"

I was hoping to have something relevant and inspiring to say as my first post of the new year, but I've got no desire to post an entry talking about how great this year is going to be for me and my kung fu and my work and my family and my friends and so forth and so forth. That'd be like saying I plan to breath and maintain my heartbeat, oh and maybe even eat and sleep this year. By being in the Ubbt I think it just goes without saying that I'm gonna be active. So what to say?

I suppose I'll talk about a webcomic. I've been thinking of starting a webcomic based off a little 2 page comic book [Side Note: maybe I should call it a comic pamphlet] that I did last summer. It was a week in the life of the main character whose life had stagnated and was seeking excitement in the form of things such as his tea-kettle hat. The humour was some of the darkest I'd ever done, even though I was more cheerful at that time than ever before. The humour was dark because I just like dark humour; just ike the old saying 'Humour: once you go black you never go back' or something to that effect. Surprisingly, the worst two reviews I've ever gotten for it were people who just didn't find it hilarious. Everyone else seems to giggle incessantly which I take as a good omen. Maybe I'll write a few more and see how it goes before starting anything though.

Happy New Year and good luck to all of us in the Ubbt 7!
