Maybe it's the boredom I am experiencing right now, but as I was killing time in-between phone calls at work, The Blogger popped up on my work account. (Yes, my work email is also Gmail) I logged into my personal account and (low-and-behold) I had started a blog called "Punishment for the Idiots Around Me" in 2011.
I still like that name, but man oh man have I changed since then. The earlier posts were so dark and angry. Not like the current me at all. I guess that is proof that you grow as you age, huh?
So my thought was do I revive this? Is it worth it? I have a blog on wordpress.com already. Should I use this and blog no slow days at work? I kinda did that on WordPress at the one job I had that made me stay until a certain time even if all my work was finished for the night. See what I am getting at here?
Let me know in the comments what you think. Perhaps I can link both accounts. I really don't know what I am doing or how this site works. (But at some point I guess I did?)
Let me introduce the current me to you.
I am involved in a lot of local charity stuff. It varies depending on the time of year and what cause it is. I am an artist. Seriously. I paint, draw, sculpt, wire wrap, tie knots, whatever hits my fancy at the moment. Professionally, I am a graphic designer and I currently work for a sign shop.
I am involved in a few communities around the area that allow me to do things like participate in events and parades and make stuff and talk on the radio, etc. It's fun and it usually benefits some sort of charitable cause. Some are just for fun though.
My husband is and I are care-takers for a live-in former U.S. Marine and we have formed a new kind of family unit between the three of us. My son is married and has two college degrees and enjoying what he does. I do my best to greet everyone warmly and with a smile. Life is too short to hold onto rage and anger and to treat people poorly.

My comic book Characters
I found an old notebook the other day. Inside I found a treasure trove of ideas. One such idea was that of getting off my lazy bum and making a comic book. I vaguely remember coming up with these ideas with my supervisor at a previous job; That being said, I cannot take all the credit for such creativity (or at least that is what the notes on the side margins say)
I thought I'd share. Enjoy.
Greater Graphic City (Challenged by evil, but protected by the forces of good)
Villains:
Staple Boy - Armed with his evil staple, this is the only way he knows how to attach copy.
Baggie Boy - Suffocates poor artwork after cutting them down to nothing
The Duh Man - This evil league of salesmen leave instructions that Mr. Obvious takes for granted.
Sticky Sales - Sticky loves tape. Tape over logos, everything. He can never use too much of the sticky stuff.
The Handwriting Horror - The most evil of all! He tortures with bad penmanship.
Never Ending - Never ends with corrections and add ons.
Chaos Card - Chaos ignores all attempts to make a piece original.
Technology Impairment Man - He THINKS he know how to send files in the proper format
The 72 dpi Team - This Team of Villains refuse to send artwork above 72 dpi and then complain when it does not print well
Newsprint Man - Loves to use artwork and pictures previously printed on newsprint. He always wants them to look magazine quality
Heroes:
The Scan Me Men - This team of superheroes can scan and clean up Anything. (and we Do mean EVERYTHING!)
Miracle Worker - Somehow she always makes it work. She can't explain it, but the job gets done on time.
The Captain - With a constant headache, he always come through for his team
The Negotiator - Has the power to satisfy the forces of evil for a short period of time. (usually 48 hours)
Mac Mechanic - This brave soul has the power to be immune to the evil affect of the Macintosh.
On the Fence:
Wonder Boy - Unsure if he is in league with evil; this misunderstood kid tries to find his place by fixing the technology for the forces of good
Donut Dan - Dan supplies Donuts to the headquarters of the Greater Graphic City. We are unsure if this is a good thing (To provide a yummy treat for our heroes) or a bad thing (To make our heroes gain too much weight so that they are out of shape to fight crime)
I thought I'd share. Enjoy.
