The magical genie of the lamp scenario has crossed the minds of everyone in the world, and no one could convince me otherwise. Rubbing that bottle, being granted three wishes, and living a carefree life is a whimsical and farfetched idea, but a it sure is a good one. I have no idea what I would wish for, but giving my luck everything that I would wish for would be misconstrued and I'd end up on the face of the dollar bill, held by a hobo who is sticking me in the rear end of a sweaty fat stripper. When in fact I wished to 1) made of money 2) live a carefree life 3) and swallowed my women.

BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR!

DREAMS

I dream a lot! Some of which are the craziest, most maniacal, Stephen King wake-up sweating and just plain happy to be out of that nightmare. Others are just images from the day, or visions from the past, or dreams of my family, both present and past. Just remember that dreams are manifestations of our reality and they are just a way for your brain to process all the crap that happens to us on a daily basis.

So next time Godzilla is chasing you, while you are already an hour late for your last final exam, and you have to pee really really bad, and that you are running on wooden legs just remember to WAKE-UP!
It was only a dream....or was it?

WSOP

A friend of mine is playing in the WSOP Main Event this week and I want to wish him good luck, and I created this cartoon a while ago, but I repost it every year in hopes of one day being allowed to play in at least one event. My wife hasn't, or maybe never will, allocate thousands of dollars from our meager budget for the slight chance of winning a bucket load of money. So until then, I'll cheer for my buddy, and I'll continue to write and draw until the day comes when I can actually afford to play in one of these events!
Good luck everyone, especially Clint.

stuck like that

We have all done things in our lives that we look back on and think, "Man was that stupid." Now that I'm a parent, I see my two little girls doing the same hair-brained things that I used to do. I'm laughing on the inside, but my stern, mad as hell exterior tells a different story. Most times all I can say is, "When did that ever seem like a good idea?" I love my kids, but I love the fact that I survived all those dumb things, in order to laugh and enjoy watching my kids suffer through the same trials and errors. Love your kids, show them you care, discipline when necessary, and the rewards will come back to you exponentionally.

Halloween Head

Even though I'm scared of my shadow, I love Halloween. Well, I love the free candy. When I was little right before we were to go trick or treating, my dad put a pair of pantyhose on his head and began knocking on all the windows in the house. To terrified to go outside after that, and unwilling to listen to reason, I lost out on that candy filled night. Now I enjoy walking the neighborhood with my kids and making fun of them when they are too scared to go up to the house with the creepy music. They ask me to hold their hands and go with them, but as bravely as I can, I say, "I would, but if you want that candy you need to go up there by yourself." I proceed to push them up to the door kicking and screaming, but enjoying every minute of it. I hate to admit it, but to this day I'm still scared of almost everything. My wife included! Happy Halloween Week.

Notre Dame and Obama

Why go to a Catholic University and give a speech on abortion? That is kinda like going to a Star Trek convention and making fun of Spock. Not a smart thing to do. You would think that our President, or at least his advisors, would have been smart enough to avoid that one topic. I guess they couldn't think of anything else to talk about at a GRADUATION. How about, "Congratulations on graduating," or "All of those long hours studying has finally paid off." I'm not the smartest guy in the world, but come on. In the end though, we are all fighting the same battle as Americans. I can't say it any better than Rodney King, "Can't we all just get along?"
