Some random crap
Wow i had a burst of blogs a couple of weeks ago and then nothing. Work has been busy. When i'm not there i just wanna come home and watch tv or work on the podcast. Had some good segments the last few weeks. Ryan and Stacey both came in to help at different times. Still having a great time.
Been a couple of crazy weeks. Kath got a new job. She's working from home now which is really cool. We're saving money on gas and babysitting and we're both off at the same time every day with the same days off. I found out i'm getting a new manager next Friday. Not sure i like that news. Steve has always been cool to me and helped me and always marked me fairly when it came to qualities. Not sure how i feel about a new manager coming in. I guess i'll find out soon enough.
In other news that i don't like my upstairs computer died and the fridge seems to be dying as well. Ah the old Stewart luck. You know what? It hasn't been all terrible and i will write some happy blogs in the next couple of days. Thats a promise from me to you!!

1000
Ok so yesterday i decided i wanted to get back into blogging. I came up with four blog entrees. Whoopity doo. I realize I've been slacking. Three entrees in April? Seriously Jay come on. Then i realized that this blog would be number one thousand. I started the blog back in 2008 and i was proud we got to a thousand. Then i realized i have absolutely nothing to say, The one thousandth blog was going to be boring as hell. So i reached out to my Facebook friends. Would they be able to make any suggestions? Or would i be stuck with a blog where i just said the word blog a million times. Well let's see what my friends came up with.
Matt asked me--Have you written an entry about diarrhea yet? Does the day job count Matt?
Geoff suggested-Why Aquaman is a badass.
Hey I've blogged in the past about how much i loved the Peter David run of Aquaman back in the 90's. The whole,long hair, beard and hook hand era of Aquaman. I was pissed when they switched him back to short hair and orange shirt Aquaman. He was back to being a joke. A joke that is until the Dc comics reboot that happened almost 2 years ago. My favorite comic book writer Geoff Johns took over the title and he totally made Aquaman cool. As a matter of fact in the first issue of the reboot, Aquaman beat the shit out of a car and didn't blink. Go Arthur Curry!! His title was a reboot i really enjoyed. In comparison i am really hating the direction that Superman has taken and have stopped collecting it. I have every issue of Superman since 1986 so it wasn't an easy decision. Aquaman thank you for restoring my faith in characters who swim and kick ass.
What did my friend Kimmy bring to the table? She said
Boobs and glasses? How the Leafs suck? Lol
Ok i guess i got some 'splaining to do. I don't like The Toronto Maple Leafs. Yes i am Canadian and not a really big hockey fan, These crazy fans and their chant of Go Leafs, Go. It's insane. They haven't won a Stanley Cup since before i was born. That should say something. I am really old after all. They somehow made it into the play offs this year, This is the first time in a decade. Opened up my facebook and its all anyone is talking about. Geez.
Guess i should explain boobs and glasses huh? So about 15 years ago i worked at a hole called the Donut Diner. The midnight shift,selling coffee to drunks. It sucked. It was there that i became friends with Kimmy. She is a really cool and attractive friend of mine. Oh yeah she also liked flashing me and Kath. Not gonna lie-- it wasn't a horrible thing.It got me through many a shift. We still talk pretty openly to this day. A few weeks ago she put up a tasteful pic that was showing some cleavage and she was wearing glasses. So i had to make a comment. It may have involved liking boobs and glasses. It was innocent. I kind of have a thing for women who wear glasses. Just ask Kath she'll back me up. I'm going to add a pic of Kimmy groping my wife for good measure.
Anyhow i guess that was an ok one thousandth entree. It could have been a whole lot worse. Hey its been a great ride. I'm thankful to people that are still reading and as always grateful to my friend Allison who convinced me to write my thoughts down for all to see. If i stay on track I'm sure i can get to Two thousand blog entrees before 2020.

Free Comic Book Day 2013
So last Saturday May the 4th (be with you.get it?) We made our first public appearance at Pulp Comics. Free comic book day is a magical day when comic book stores get comics from all the different publishers and you can pick one or 2 to take home free of charge. Hence the name. Free comic book day occurs every year on the first saturday of May.
Here's the thing,we did our old show from there last year and we weren't counting on being asked this year. Our original plan was to cruise to all the comic book stores in the area and maybe randomly talking to different customers. Then we got a message from Paul at Pulp comics asking us if we wanted to be there. We jumped at the chance. Our buddy John Bulmer was already going to be there drawing and there was going to be cake and a barbeque.
I turned out to be a blast. Our buddy Ryan helped out for a bit. We met a lot of cool people and some contacts as well. We met a really nice lady named Steph from a web site called Geek Chic Elite. She was really cool and included us in her review of Free Comic book day. She was also nice and took some of our business cards to hand out. We agreed to set up an interview with her at this years Niagara Falls comic con.
Kath had the brilliant idea to set up a roll the dice question and answer game. We had a 20 sided dice and what ever number came up they would choose a geek question from the list and answer it. We recorded all the questions with our spiffy new recording device and we aired it on the pod cast.Everybody was really cool and nice when it came to answering.
My buddy Stacey showed up later on. I think it may have been her first time in a comic book store. She helped out for a bit. She also agreed to come to the Niagara Falls Comic con in June. Also saw a former kfc co worker named Kelly from back in the day.
We had a great time. Thanks for inviting us Paul. It was a fantastic day. Did i mention there was cake as well?

Hello blog. Sorry i have been neglecting you. I'm sorry buddy. I promise to write more and try harder. We've had a lot of fun and good times.
