Lazy: encouraging inactivity or indolence

I've noticed that I really haven't been writing much on my blog. I've mostly just been posting interesting things I find here and there while I browse the net.

The truth of the matter is I only post those things because I'm to lazy to actually write on my blog. I post those things to give my self the illusion that I am actually blogging.

I enjoy blogging because I like to look back on blogs months later and see how I was feeling at a particular time in my life. When I just post interesting things I find on the net it's less enjoyable for me to look back on.

I need to stop being lazy and start writing more......I'm also getting rusty.....

Comic Books: NERD BLOG

If you already didn't know I have an affinity for comics. I love comics. I have been reading comic books ever since I was in elementary school. Comic books have always been a good friend to me. They taught me how to read and write.

I have often heard stories of people's parents discouraging them from reading comics growing up. My mom was the exact opposite. She loved the fact that I was reading something instead of spending hours in front of the tv and playing video games. I have fond memories growing up of my mom taking me to the comic book store to buy comics every week. I remember for my birthday my mom would give me $100 to buy as many comics as I wanted. Back then $100 could buy you quite a few comics.

As I got older and went off to college, I stopped reading for awhile. I'm not certain why I stopped. Maybe because I felt it was childish or maybe a lack of funds. Regardless of the reason, I stopped. A couple of years ago I randomly decided to walk into a comic book store in Madison, TN called Comic City Too. I started to build a rapport with the owner of the shop who had recently just purchased the business from the previous owner. He started recommending a few good books to pick up and just like that I was hooked again.

I started spending an absurd amount of money on comics every month. Even with the 20% discount I get because I'm a frequent customer. I have to streamline the books I read for a while. I'm attempting to limit myself to only 10 titles a month. Let's see how long that holds.

Crayon: a stick of white or colored chalk or of colored wax used for writing or drawing

"Life is like a box of crayons. Most people are the 8-color boxes, but what you're really looking for are the 64-color boxes with the sharpeners on the back. I fancy myself to be a 64-color box, though I've got a few missing. It's ok though, because I've got some more vibrant colors like periwinkle at my disposal. I have a bit of a problem though in that I can only meet the 8-color boxes. Does anyone else have that problem? I mean there are so many different colors of life, of feeling, of articulation... so when I meet someone who's an 8-color type... I'm like, 'hey girl, magenta!' and she's like, 'oh, you mean purple!' and she goes off on her purple thing, and I'm like, 'no - I want magenta!' " - John Mayer
