Being a raging drunk doesn't make for a great social life. The drunker you get, the longer you stay drunk, the harder it is to get off the couch and go to parties.
Fortunately, I keep my rage in check. That way I get to the parties, get ripped and make an ass of myself in public. It's much more satisfying that way.
This week I have the opportunity to go to a rather high-class affair that involves sipping older, more expensive wines with older, more expensive people. Not exactly the crowd I usually rub elbows with, but then anything is a step up from a crowd of journalists. And if you think I'm being cruel, ask 'em. They're the first to admit it.
Still, drunk is drunk, and no matter what you drink, the more you drink of it, the more apt it is to come out the same way it went in.
But do not think I am advocating public intoxication. Heavens no. That's the sort of thing one should always reserve for evenings on the couch or in front of the computer chatting. Or Vegas.
Changes come from all different directions. I've learned this from first hand experience. When they hit, we have to either be prepared and let the changes roll right over us. Adaptation is key to existence in today's world.
I took on the role of editor recently, and it's opened up a slough of changes for me. The missus and I are getting out more, and I'm doing more writing. It's not the most exciting stuff, but here's an example. And if you love Greek food, make sure to check out a review I did here.
Again, not the most exciting stuff, but it's helping me practing my writing chops.
A book is coming out soon from author/blogger Damomma.com. Elizabeth's writing is touching and thoughtful and often very witty. She approached me and asked if I could lend UnkyMoods icons to the publication. She also asked for some original drawings. So that's kept me busy and I can hardly wait to see the result.
As for Can Hed Comix, I would love to return to drawing CH and the gang, but there just isn't time. Hopefully, someday. Who knows? Change can hit at any moment.
