I wanna be lame and copy Quoted and Uncle Bob because I want some merch too! I wanna have an online store and sell shit. I even know what I'll call it. 'Bear Wear! That's cool, right? Only problem is, I can't think of anything to put on the shirts. You guys got any ideas? E-mail them to me. Now, I'm not asking anyone to start up an online store for me, like Tigre Fatalis did for Bobbo. I wanna do it all meself, I just need a swift kick in the pants to get my creativity going.

I had thought about doing some kewl Polar Bear drawings, real World of Darkness kind of stuff. Like Werebear stuff. Not the typical chubby bear on four legs kind of deal, no, big tall 20 foot "man-bear" with a huge weapon like an axe or something. I have some really cool ideas. Problem is, I have to get off my lazy ass and draw them. Yeah, like that will happen. Anyway, we'll see how it goes.

I'm in a bit of a dilemma. I've been studying and studying for this friggin' FAA written exam and yesterday, I take a practice test and get a 98%. I'm ready. Problem is, I can't take the test until my CFI signs off an endorsement in my log book and I can't seem to hook up with him. I called him yesterday and he said to call him today and we'd meet at the airport. Luckily, the Boca Airport has a place where I can take the written exam (it's actually on computers now, but whatever). So, I call him and get voicemail. What the fuck? He's the one who's been saying I need to get this done and over with and now I can't get a hold of him. Fucker. I want to get this done and get my Private Certificate before the end of the year. Dammit!

I want to dump my fuckin' Bravenet counter. 85% of the time, if not more, their site is fucked up so it takes an eternity for my page to load. Problem is, I don't know what kind of counter I want to get. I was thinking of the sitemeter one because I've heard good things about it, but I don't know. I'm torn. It's not like I really kept track of who was coming and who wasn't. I just liked looking over at the side and seeing 6,000, 7,000, and now almost 8,000 Maybe I should just make a bunch of images and put them there. Like, make a 10,000 image or something. Of course, people would catch on when it didn't move. Hmmm...oh well.

Did I ever tell you all the news about me working from home? Well, it appears that our Executive Editor was able to plead a case, but we didn't win totally. Apparently, they're willing to let me work from home, but only part time. I work from home 3 days a week and then come into the office the other 2. Of course, nothing was said about weekends, Sundays being a deadline day. Seems that either Carl, the big boss, saw or was told that I was playing video games on company time. Total bullshit. Yes, I have had games on my computer, no, I have not played them on company time. There have been days where I'm way ahead in my work, or just have a light load that day and will go and read some online comic strips. But I have never played games during company time. Hopefully, I'll do the 3/2 thing for a few months and then Carl will get the twig out of his ass and I'll be allowed to work from home full time. We'll just have to see.

Well, didn't really have much to say, what else is new? Gonna finish up here, head out and go home and relax. We have a couch now. A friend of ours got some new furniture and she gave us her old couch. Of course, I don't find out until I'm ready to pick the bad boy up that it's a hide-a-bed. Fuckers are heavy! And it was just me and her boyfriend carrying it. If you ask me, I did all the work. But anway, we've got a pretty nice new couch for me to veg on and it has a bed so the next time I fuck shit up and piss the wife off (which I do on a regular basis), I'll have someplace to sleep. Luckily, when we do move, it's just next door. Won't have to lug it up and down any fuckin' steps. Anyway, see you next entry. Da 'Bear luffs you all. And remember, any good ideas for t-shirts, mugs, or mouse pads, let me know. Take care.
