Love, Cripples, and Bunnies

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! I’m still working on my next blog posts. Chris and Mike, love part 2, and what would it be like to be a dad? Those last two might be conflicting ideas but we will see.

This will be a mini post. I did an art tutorial from @genevievesdesignstudio. It’s simple but, I think it turned out cute. Alright onto the rest of it.

I have never had a romantic Valentine’s Day, I know shocker. A lot of my friends have partners and I think that is great. Life is hard and if you can find someone, I think that can make life a little better. However, I am mostly writing to the people that are having a platonic Valentine’s Day. This day might not be awesome for everyone. I want to give those people a little extra encouragement today. I think you are great! Life moves differently for everyone, and people value different things. It might not be your time yet or you might not appreciate a relationship. You’re not weird for not being in a relationship, you’re probably weird for other reasons (is that supposed to be an encouragement?). I want you to know that you are not alone. I am one of the weirdest people I know. You can find meaning with or without a relationship. I hope you have people in your life that love you even if it’s not romantic. Love might be the best thing we do and the worst thing we execute. I want to say that I love you whoever you are. I’m glad you are here even though I might not know you personally. If you ever need to talk, I will be here. Until next time crips and non-crips, I believe in you.

2023: A year in review

Do you like recap episodes, flashbacks, and trying to look for the bright side in life? If you said yes to any of those questions you are in the right place. You should still read even if you said no. I need that Dopamine hit from your approval (he's mostly kidding, I think). Well, that break was longer than I had been planning. My last post was in August and maybe life caught up with me. It's one thing to say you will fight for as long as you can it's another thing to actually live it. When I first started writing these posts it was almost a compulsion. I couldn't stop writing. Crip Guy came from maybe the worst time in my life. The only control I had was writing. And that writing was dark and sad. I'm never sharing those journal entries at least while I am alive. I recently re-read those Journals and I am glad to say I am not in that same headspace. I can't say I feel 100% as you can tell from my post schedule(wait you are still a writer?). What I want to say

Waiting for my life to start (mini post)

This week I will try something new-ish and give some advice that I have learned the hard way. I'm not really qualified to give advice but that hasn't stopped me before. If you get something out of it, it's a bonus.  I will publish these types of posts in between my full posts. There may or may not be illustrations with them. I don't like going weeks without posting anything (what if they forget about you?). If you like it or hate it let me know or leave a comment. I read all your messages. Anyway, let's get to the rest of this experimental post.  Over the last 2 years or so I have tried to push myself to live a life I could be proud of. I have done stand-up, let my friends and family know how much they mean to me, made a blog, taught myself to draw, and had a few adventures. I experienced more pain and loss than I thought possible. I said goodbye to a few friends and loved ones. And made a few new friends. Every setback and triumph in the back of my mind I think the

Get a life (mini post)

Do you like lamps, bungee jumping, and red shirts? This week is the first issue in a new series "My Adventures with Death". Should I be concerned that thinking of different ways to kill a character is effortless? I hope you find it funny albeit dark (albeit? someone started using a thesaurus). Joking about death is one of the few coping mechanisms I have and yes I am playing the cripple card to justify that (he is basically a hero). Alright, let's delve into my mind. Living is hard. I talk about death often enough on this blog that some people might get concerned (I'm sure the comic isn't helping). Living is what I want to talk about this week. If I am honest I am on borrowed time. It's easy to dwell on the painful parts of life. I could be bitter or a bigger a$$ hole like my friend said. Even though I joke about death regularly it's not what I want to leave behind. I want people to know I lived. Despite not getting the best starting roll, (D&D?) I nev
