Little Bear.

I called my brother to ask his advice.
He was very patient, and answered my questions like a pro.
He is something else.

Don't get me wrong, most of his answers were wrong, but it's his confidence that I admire.

The thing about me and my brother is that I was alive for ten years before he strolled into town.
That is a long enough time to get used to things being a certain way.
And everything changed once he showed up.
So there was naturally some friction.

I mean, I can see now that that is just life right?
Nothing stays the same.
I get it.
But you know, when I was little it was harder to handle.

Now things are better between Nathan and I.
But he is a different dude than I am.

Anyways, did you see the Packer game?
Oh my!
It is the most fun game on the planet right now.
I am looking forward to a good game against Dallas.
Be god guys.

Empty streets.

I am going in to work tomorrow, Saturday.
It is only for a little while, to clean up around the warehouse.
I am looking forward to it.
Really!

I watched the Packer game yesterday.
It was good, and we won and all, but we also let the Lions score 2 touchdowns.
That was not good.

Did you know that I used to play this game called Socom 2?
It is a Navy SEALs game that you play online.
You shoot each other and you get this headset to wear so you can talk to your team.
It was a lot of fun.
I used to play against my brother Nathan.
It was great.

Lately I have been missing that.
I think that it is nice to have something like that available.
Come home from work and play games with people.
In my underwear.

When I go back to Door County, I play a game with Dave called Soldier of Fortune 2.
We used to play Delta Force Land Warrior.
In either case we run around trying to shoot each other.
My favorite is to get him with the knife.

Well, I hope you are doing well.
I am doing fine.

Winter in the Barn.

I say, "Do you want some tea?"
She say, I'll make you some."

Dang dude, it is so rainy and cloudy.
I don't know what it would be like if I lived in a place that was always sunny.
I am so used to this weather, but I don't know if that means I like it or not.
I am just used to it.

I have no concept of warm and sunny always.
I have no idea what it means to have shorts and shades always.

I don't know if I would like that.
The more I think about it, the less I like it.
I like to feel rewarded by nature.
That is how I look at it anyways.

A reward.

Anyways, how can you argue with the Packers?

Things to do inside the box.

What are you doing for Thanksgiving?
Plans with families?
Meals and stuff?

In my family we would eat and then go and see a movie.
It is a good way to not have to talk to each other.

I have not felt like doing much.
I work.
I like work.
I read and draw.
Mainly I just want to sleep and eat.

Since this is also what Truen wants to do mainly, there have been some minor skirmishes
around the refrigerator and the bed.
Nothing some antibiotic ointment and butterfly bandages won't fix.

So, I am going to be walking around later.
If you want to walk, we could walk together.

Ritter Sport.

Rum, Raisins, and Hazel Nuts.
It is like a chunky, with rum in it.
And hazel nuts instead of peanuts.

It is like a rich man's chunky.
And I love it.

I am a working man and I deserve it.

I decided that I am going to try all of the Ritter Sports.
And then I will review them for you.

I could write a haiku, since I seem to be so awesome at it.
Or, I don't know, something.

I be as mad as I want!

DUDE!
I had such a good Friday!
Damn!
DAMN!

Truen got this thin little line that in on her belly.
It goes straight down her belly.
I think that is so funny and cute.

She is very agitated lately.
I feed her some cheese and she quiets down.
She lays down and snores.

I think that is another haiku.

Aids Destruction.

Did you know that all "Gap (Product) Red Clothing" is designed to help eliminate Aids in Africa?

You know what that means?

I built that Aids destroying robot for nothing.

OR BET IT ALL!!!

My friend Aaron told me about this blog:
The Fontenote.
It is a Packer blog.

It is a very well written and funny blog.

Even to someone like me, who does not like the Packers OR Football!

Of course, that isn't true.
I enjoy Football.
And I really enjoy the Packers.
Especially this season.

I wonder how my Minnesota doppleganger feels?

Dear Richard L. Weaver

I believe you have confused me with another artist.
But I appreciate it nonetheless.

GO PACK GO!

The cold light in MIlwaukee.

Is it better in Canada?

Oh man, I went to Milwaukee.
Do you know that my favorite coffee shop sold to new owners.

And have you tried driving through there? I don't even know what exits to take off the freeway!

How can it be that a place that never seemed to change changed?

What would I even do there?
Raise a family!?

Well, anyways, I had a show at Hotcakes Gallery in Riverwest.
It was really nice.
I felt like the people there were all sharing the same ideas.
There were lots of Anti-Bush signs.
That was good to see.

I have a question about the world.
Is the world ending?
I mean, did you read about this oil spill in San Francisco?
And I don't know anything about the economy, but I have been flipping through the paper.
And things sound bad.
There are lots of people trying to explain how things only "look" bad.

Also Pakistan.

I know that every generation has it's problems.
And maybe every generation thinks that THEIR problems are the worst.
But these particular problems seem somehow more damaging than previous problems.

But what do I know!?

I put my face on Truen's belly and I get kicked in the mouth!
