Ack, what a crappy New Year…
I renewed my car registration, got the envelope some time in December, and thought, oh well, I’ll put it on when I clean up from all this holiday crap. I’m such a procrastinator -like aduh, I couldn’t have put the sticker on the plate any number of the times I drove the car in December?
Guess what, I cleaned, and no envelope. Darned if I know what I did with the thing. So until I get to a notary and get them to send me another, the sticker on my plate will say 12-03 and so will my registration. Now I’m going to be paranoid of parking anywhere for fear I’ll get a ticket when I come back to my car. Like I’m not just generally paranoid to begin with! You know what they say, just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean no one’s watching you! If I get a ticket, I’m going to sic Cthulu on their unsympathetic butts.
(gosh I love my Cthulu smilies, just makes me feel so much better, wish I could take him to work with me and stick him on things as easily as I stick him here.)

Thursday’s Free Range Poetry poem was written by Michael McClintock who lives and writes in Los Angeles and South Pasadena, California. I have to say, it turned out very well. Of course, having such a lovely poem to work with makes illustrating so much easier. Michael’s current book, just released, is The Tanka Anthology, edited by Michael McClintock, Pamela Miller Ness, and Jim Kacian, (Red Moon Press P.O. Box 2461, Winchester VA, 22604-1551), 2003. Hardback, $25.

I read an email someone sent to one of my favorite comics and was completely POed. OK, so the comic is not PC and is often crass, but you know, I’ve always been of the opinion that this is a free country and if someone is practicing the freedom of speech, I have the freedom to listen (or read) or not. If the criticism had even been constructive, I wouldn’t have been upset. If it had been warranted, I certainly wouldn’t have been upset. But the fact that the perpetrator of the heinous act of unsupportable whining was a Pagan made me completely disgusted (being a Pagan myself after all).
I wish Randy had left the email up on his site a bit longer so you could all see the stupidity of the dumba$$ who complained that he was bashing Wiccas with his comic. I hope he forwarded the consolatory email I sent him to the moron Pagan-pretender just so they know how completely stupid they are.
OK, I’ve been reading Something Positive for quite some time and I have never seen anything remotely like the emailer mentioned. Reminds me of the last time some moron emailed Randy because he used Cthulu in one of his strips. Gah, I thought it was completely on target for Cthulu’s character. Like the Big Guy would care one wit about a furry argument. heh Man, that comic still gives me chuckles.
Anyway… I’m tired… poop. Lots of stuff to do tomorrow before work, including finding a notary to do something about my registration and sticker.
Why does everything have to be so complicated? If my car is registered once, why can’t it stay registered until I sell it or junk it? Darn greedy DMV.
