    I fell out of a tree house.

    Last Saturday night, I got drunk and fell out of a tree house. Or, rather, I fell out of the rope contraption that one uses to descend from the tree house. The tree house and rope belong to my friend Aaron Weaver. The injuries I sustained belong to me. The things I'm learning or understanding since the fall belong to God. Before all that, though, let's look at Holly Bagwell's description of the

    I mean, really, we don't make anything alone.

    When I was in high school I loved movies in a way that I don't now. I wanted to make them. I tried to make little ones, but found that I could only do so much without incorporating more people, which made the creation much more complicated and not nearly as fun. For some reason I never really grasped that every single one of the hundreds of people in the credits that rolled after all of my

    Dear Whoever The Fuck Is In Charge Of Illinois Interstates,

    Please get your shit together. You’re an embarrassment to your state, which hardly has embarrassments to spare. I thought the people in charge of the Chicago library’s comics collections were incompetent, but you really take the cake. I’ve been driving to and from Iowa through Illinois once or twice a year for four years now, and every single fucking time my tour of duty through your interstates

    An email I just sent.

    Dear Owners of Casey’s General Store,My wife and I recently drove to Charles City, Iowa from Nashville, Tennessee and back again. We stopped at many Casey’s locations, of which we have none in Nashville. Our family was always given excellent service, the food was delicious, and the bathrooms were immaculate. Towards the end of our trip I wished that there were Casey’s locations near our home, and

    Promises.

    One morning round a year ago on Jessica’s parents’ farm in Charles City, Iowa, I wrote the best thing I’ve ever written. I promptly lost it. Before then I’d had a dry spell of writing. I’ve had a dry spell since, not counting essays and the like for school. Sometimes I wonder if I didn’t purposely lose that writing in order to avoid the oppressive awesomeness of it. Maybe I lost it because I

    I am in The Surf Ballroom, which is the venue that Buddy Holly, Big Bopper and Richie Valenz played at the night of their plane crash. It is awesome.

    I don't know if reading Do Anything right now was a good idea. Perhaps I should not read about making comics when I am in the middle of making a comic.

    Warren Ellis's "Do Anything" is perfect reading for shoveling a plate of nachos on a 45 minute break. If I match the pace of my eating with his writing...

    Concerts In The Cul De Sac

    Okay, I'm making it official because I've yapped about it for so long. Starting in either June or July, The Peaches will be hosting a monthly concert dvd showing at our home. It's likely that one will always be a U2 DVD, either preceding or following another band, always chosen by a random drawing, then Rock Band/Guitar Hero until a reasonable hour. Details after in a couple of weeks.

    Do any of you know Spider-man?

    I need him to come get this balloon down.

    Sofia is my oxygen and my water.

    Sometimes it feels like my muscles work properly only because her existence fuels them. Everything we eat, drink and breathe comes from the earth in some way. So when I say that Jessica is the world to me, I mean it in detail.

    A year ago tonight, I was downstairs drumming to this

    song/performance, and Sofia decided that it sounded good enough that she just had to come out and see what was going on. This song meant a lot to me before Sofia. Sofia's timing added untold meaning to this song for me. Please join me in listening to New Year's Day in celebration of Sofia's first year. I will try my best to elaborate on my feelings right now in the next couple of days. I'm a

    The Peaches found our first cache today!

    Check out http://www.geocaching.com for what I'm talking about.

    Today = Seriously? Now this?

    Today started out flawlessly. Sofia and I made it out to Dad's in Lavergne around nine o'clock, hoping that we could get Sofia down for her nap at home between eleven and noon. The plan was that I would mow the lawn during her nap because there was a fifty percent chance of rain later on, then we would go to Greenbrier to visit two of my grandparents, George and Diane. The plan was fine. The

    Geocaching fail.

    The Peaches went on our first geocaching adventure yesterday. It was an utter failure.If you want to know what geocaching is, click over to http://www.geocaching.com/There are supposedly three caches in a one-mile radius of our home, all with a difficulty rating of one star out of five. We spent almost an hour on the first one, three minutes on the second one, and about half and hour on the third

    Okay, break's over.

    I've taken two weeks to meander since school has been out. The last exam was on the10th. I've managed to get a couple of things done in that time that I wanted to do this summer, but there's still a lot to get cracking on. I still need to do some bathroom sealing and checking on old seals, replace that rotting piece of wood on the garage, finish converting all necessary VHS tapes to digital,
