I don\u2019t want to get out of it.\u00a0 This is not a problem when I sleep on the couch at my part-time job.<\/li>\n<li>Trump wants to have a military parade like they have in North Korea and used to have in Soviet Russia. Which doesn\u2019t surprise me at all.<\/li>\n<li>I spent $40 at Aldi for groceries last night and now am set for the winter.<\/li>\n<li>Anyone who says things can\u2019t make you happy obviously hasn\u2019t owned a really good book.<\/li>\n<li>I still don\u2019t know if I want to keep the beard.<\/li>\n<li>If you take peanut butter filled pretzels and dip them in cheese, you can actually hear your arteries hardening.<\/li>\n<li>Sal Buscema doesn\u2019t get enough love from comics fans.<\/li>\n<li>I like highlighting people who seem to be forgotten by comics fandom because most people will respond with \u201cOh yeah, I love their work!\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Remember, the comic I like the least, I STILL like better that the comic you like the most.<\/li>\n<li>I read something recently that enlightenment is simply being happy with who you are, where you are and your situation at that moment.\u00a0 You can read all of the philosophy and self-help books in the world, meditate for hours a day, join discussion groups and all the like, but in the end, it\u2019s being happy with what exist in that moment.\u00a0 Find a way to do that every day, and you\u2019re streets ahead of most people.<\/li>\n<li>Yes, streets ahead is a \u201cCommunity\u201d reference.\u00a0 You\u2019re welcome.<\/li>\n<li>I usually undercut my deep, philosophical points with a joke because I worry people will think I\u2019m pretentious.\u00a0 I won\u2019t do that here, but if you like, I know a 15 minute version of \u201cThe Aristocrats\u201d I\u2019d be more than happy to tell you.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<a
