More comics
Yes Yes, I know when I dont have anything of value to say, I end up posting comics. What of it?
Also had to see several patients today who were classic examples of the phenomenon “learned helplessness” Yes these people are geniunely sick, but their one joy in life appears to be ensuring that they remain so under the guise of doctor shopping to find that one magic physician who can snap his/her fingers and make all their problems go away.In more totally unrelated yet awesome news, rumors have reached my ears that the president elects geekery extends not only to spiderman collecting (its a good year to like comics) but when a reference to zero wing came up, with a colleague of obamas jokingly stating “all your base are belong to us” obama responded with a quick “what you say?”
If you did not catch that reference, then you did not have access to the internet until after 2002 and can probably not relate to many of the jokes I make on this site. In which case you might be missing a lot of my humor, find me unfunny, and probably dont read this anyway. Aw, nerts.

love those comics!
Heh, those comics are AWESOME. I’m seriously excited about x-mukkah. Can’t wait!!
RYC: Thanks for the comment. I realized when I wrote it that my blog could be taken as a very “doom and gloom” perspective on suffering. But I didn’t intend it that way. You are right that punctuation only accentuates what is written, and I think that is a good point… how we handle pain is a choice already made before the pain comes. And without punctuation, sentences would make no sense. There wouldn’t be sentences; nothing would be delineated and everything would be forgettable. Perhaps that is why joy is often compared to pain, because of the sharp incisive cutting realness of it. As a Christian, I look forward to the day when pain is turned to joy, and it will be joy that accentuates existence.
The metaphor pain = punctuation isn’t perfect and it can be stretched too far, but it made sense to me in that hospital waiting room.
Cheers
LMFAO!!!
Might simply be the alcohol talking, but those comics are hilarious. I’m in the process of reading every Cyanide and Happiness comic, still haven’t gotten to these.
