Happy New Year!

Damn Electronic Gizmos!

Last night I drove to the store and loaded up on some groceries and was to then run home and put them away as quick as possible then run to the In-laws and pick up the Wife and Daughter. Everything went over well except on the way to pick them up I rolled the window down to cool off my hot sweaty head. You see I get hot really easily even if it's 30 degrees outside. I rolled it down quickly realizing I wasn't THAT hot and pushed the little toggle to roll it back up. Nothing. It wouldn't roll up. It was stuck and I drove the rest of the way with a frozen left side of the face. I had to park the car in the garage and hoped that the window would roll up eventually cause you see this window has done this to me before. I kept trying to get it to roll up and finally it did. It's a tempermental piece of shit but now I can't drive it cause I have an almost two year old and I don't want her to freeze. This sucks.

What doesn't suck is Episode 16 of Nowhere in Mulberry! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Undeclared

I've been watching the boxed dvd set of one of the funniest shows that was once on television, Undeclared. Man what a hilarious show about life in a college dorm. If you haven't seen it you need to run out and buy it right away!

Just another day of the week flying by and i've found myself getting into comics again and what I love about comics is the art. Sometimes comics can be filled with pictures that fill you with inspiration and release a chemical in the brain that excites and illicits a feeling of warmth and giddyness. Comic books used to be my drug, I bought them like they were going out of style and I didn't stick to the same exact title every week. If I found an issue of some comic that hard artwork inside that I dug I bought it on the spot even if I didn't even know what was going on in the comic. I miss the smell of comics the feel of comics I miss reading comics. I need to run down to the comic shop and just buy a pile and read them over and get excited to start drawing again.

I think the main reason that I stopped buying comics altogether was out of pain. Yeah pain, you see I always wanted to be a comic book artist and never worked hard enough at it to become good enough and from time to time i'd get inspired again, I'd begin to work on a new set of sample pages to hopefully land me a job. Well one day on yahoo jobs was an ad for a comic book artist for a small comic company in Dallas that was hiring. I sent my stuff in and forgot about it.

Two weeks later.

I got a phone call out of the blue while the wife and I were watching television in our tiny one bedroom apartment. I had a drawing area set up on the couch with stacks of comics and pencils and pens and rulers and my drawing board. I had been drawing that very night working on a page of a comic I wanted to start that would no doubt take me about 10 years to complete with my working habits. On the other end of the phone was a guy from this small comic company that I have since not been able to remember the name, He told me he was looking over my sample right now while on the phone with me and he liked what he saw. GULP! Really? "Oh wow, Thanks." I could hear him flipping paper over the phone. "What do you want to accomplish as an artist?" he asked as I stared at my wife who was mouthing 'who is it?' I waved her off. "Well uh, I'd love to become a successful storyteller, I want to do my own title starring my own set of characters and I want to grow as an artist and learn everything involved in making great comics." Long Pause. I think he was writing something down. "I'd like to send you some scripted pages that I would like for you to draw and see how you handle that and if I like what I see I'd like for you to work for us."...

...Wow I could barely breathe, now I knew this was a smalltime operation but that part didn't matter much to me, it was the fact that I was hopefully going to see print, I was gonna get published! Wow I was mentally jumping the gun and I could hardly contain myself, I was excited. "I'll send this out to you and you work on it and send it to me when you are finished." He gave me a number and I turned to my wife to tell her what was up. She was just as excited and the next day I went to work with a smile on my face knowing that I wasn't going to be in this shithole for much longer. I knew that one day i'd be stopping by and dropping off the first issue of the comic i'd just completed for all to see, Hell i'd probably even sign a copy for my dick head manager. Hehe. My best friends were very excited for me and telling me, "See I told you!" I was on cloud 9.

2 weeks later.

I'd not recieved anything in the mail and had decided to call the number. I left a voicemail never to hear another word again. I was crushed.

Was it lost in the mail? Did some other artist come along? Did the business fold before it ever got off the ground? What happened? I will never know.

I stayed at that job for years after and stopped drawing, gone were my dreams and gone was what little ambition that I had. I just quit like a chump. I could've started working even harder to improve my skills and to hopefully show whoever that was on the phone what a big mistake that had made. I could've done research and found ways to expand my knowledge of improved storytelling and perspective I could've studied the anatomy and gotten the human figure down to the point where it was but and afterthought while I pounded out page after page of beautiful artwork. Nope didn't do that. Just quit.

What a lame-o. Just think where'd i'd be now if i'd only kept working at it. That was 1999.

It was my fault really I just built it all up inside and made it out like I'd accomplised something before I even drew a damn thing and I regret not working harder and doing something that always gave me lots of joy and made me feel like I was accomplishing something.

That time is now. Back to the drawing board. It's never too late, right?

Greetings Programs!

I begin to write a post and all a sudden draw a blank and can't think of a single thing to write anymore.

I've been trying to get the word out on the show and more and more people are listening and I love that and I hope that they are enjoying it. I would love to have more feedback. I'm a whore for feedback and praise hehe.


Seriously though, I like to draw and I need to go back to that past time cause it's therapuetic. I used to draw everyday all the time and I just stopped. Doing the show has given me that creative outlet that I had been longing for, for a very long time. It's given me a place to use inspiration that I get from other places.

The coolest thing about podcasting is the community of other podcasters that exist and an audience that tells you what they think of the show. It's alot different than playing a show for your Grandmother that loves everything you do. Hehe.

It's the people that listen that are the encouragement to keep doing it.

I have a confession to make. I've always been a major procrastinator with big dreams who's just getting older and older. I wanted to be a Comic Book artist and author and I wanted to write books and write and direct movies and i'm 34 now and I've done none of that. I actually have created a Podcast and i'm proud that i've done so and had a great set of co-hosts. I just want this inspiration to keep pushing me to do more and more. I want the show to be a success and I want thousands of listeners.

Is that asking for too much?

Well right now it is, I dont' think I could pay for that much Bandwidth right now hehe. I'm a Dad now and I have a beautiful daughter and I'd love to have a body of work to show her, I'd love to be proud enough to show her what daddy loves doing to entertain others. When I get an email from a listener it makes my whole day.

Thank you.

There is a name to my pain...

To judge or not to judge that is indeed the question. To defend and when chooses not to defend is another. Picking and choosing battles is also a testament to perfect timing which is lacking usually by the pickee. To rip to insult to add to cliche by throwing injury out the window, one makes ones world go shallow by the very sight of faint of heart. Interestingly enough, to be ones admonisher of fact one needs to know what the fuck they are talking about. Capice. How many people have you known on this Blue Marble we call Terra Firma is so filled with opinion and so filled with hot air, so filled with the answers that they don't see that no one is listening. How do they not see that the world wants them to shut up? How many of these people are so filled with themselves as to not see that they are not the stars of the movie but merely a background day player that will be lucky to get lunch on the set today? We all know someone that knows everything. We all know someone who forces their knowledge upon us. Well here's something to do today. Tell that person to shut up. Go on do it. You will feel so much better.

I love MST3K

Watch this! I miss them I really do. Somebody buy me the new boxed set.

RELLIK

My head Hurts!
Does it still work?
Tripping over chairs...
...Falling down the stairs...


...BREAK...CHAIN...REHASH...SPLITTING...

I was in a band once. It was a long time ago. In the days of beer and cigarettes. the days of non-caring the days when the world was powered by the black fuel. Gone now...

...Swept away for reasons long forgotten two mighty warrior tribes...Ok seriously now i'm just goofing. I was in a band though. It was so short lived I feel silly writing about it BUT it was important to me for a time and so were the people that were in the band. The rock band or were we a thrash band certainley not really metal just a thrashing head banging type of rock perhaps. Who knows but we had fun. We had many names I remember the first one was 'Harness' Lol taking a cue from Helmet. Only two of us that were in the band liked that. We never could agree on a name. We had i believe 4 gigs? I think.

It was hard to remember. I sang. Well I screamed and Yelled. Yes it was that kind of music. I'm a shy person when it comes down to it. I like to entertain I guess but when all eyes are on me I turn red. I need that magic juice that Elixir called Drinky Drink, Booze! Yeah I had to get shit faced drunk to be able to perform. I'm not proud of it but hey it was the only way at the time. I just couldn't do it sober. STAGE FRIGHT is a powerful thing. I didn't conquer it I just drowned it.

This isn't a public service annoucement about the evils of drinking while performing. No. I had a lot of fun but here's the deal I don't remember alot of it. That's what's sad. It sucks. I need some video of what went on. I've never been a druggy or done drugs it just didnt interest me but I loved the shit out of beer. I never even liked hard liquor at all. No shots no Vodka certainley not tequila. I was a beer drinker.

Off subject here a little. What am I getting at? Nothing really just typing away. I met my 'Now Wife' the first time we ever performed to an audience. I talked to her later that evening at a celebration for our first gig party. There was a keg and good spirits and people that really should be in bed. I vaguely remember people up on the roof of the house. Wow good times.

The same thing that always happens with friends and bands happened to us. You move on. You get sick of the same people you get sick of the lack of sincerity. There's that kindness between friends that disappears after awhile and it becomes family. A family that tells you exactly what they think and how they feel about what you are doing in your life and relationship and you get sick of that shit and you want them to butt out and that's what happens. You stop talking to them and you never speak to them again.

I got Nuthin' part 1

Down on the corner out here on the street blah blah blah blee blah blah blee blee blee blah blah SIGGA BOOKOO!


Hi. Can we speak freely here?

I have something to tell you...

...Two days ago I saw a rig big enough to haul that tanker, You wanna get outta here? Talk to me.



CRASH TO BLACK

Fade In:

INT-Diner:Day

Sam McGillicutti fried over 50 eggs during rush hour at one of the busiest hussle and bussle greasy spoons in all of Mulberry. Sam couldn't see the end of the tunnel but he could see a break coming up as soon as he was done with these 50 or so 'Fun Time Breakfast Combo's'.

With Clown Bot pizza right across the street not opening till noon there was no competition for ol' FlabberGassy's Diner o' fun and it was getting hit hard today for breakfast.

SeeSaw Cruthers
Well let's see here, I think I'll have the Blimp Special
with a side o' Sausage.

A click of the pen and FloJo had SeeSaw's order ready to go.

FloJo
We'll have that out in a jiff SeeSaw, you want a refill
on your joe?

SeeSaw looked down at his filled to the brim coffee and looked back at the waitress dumbfounded.

SeeSaw Cruthers
I got a full cup right here FloJo!

FloJo turned away ashamed realizing she'd just given away her one flaw and her life's biggest secret. SHE WAS BLIND. Yes that's right BLIND AS A BAT! Miraculously this 50 year old Waitress from the south side had been born legally blind but not wanting to disappoint everyone she hid the fact of her blindness her entire life. Not even her parents knew. Somehow she'd passed every single eye exam ever given it's as if this Idiot Savant knew what the eye charts said without having to see. You see in fact all her other senses were heightened to the point that she was a SUPER WAITRESS!

Fancy.

Two years later she was found running a top secret Think Tank for the government exploring extraterrestrial ways of 'lookin' at stuff' as she put it.

The End.

Nowhere In Mulberry Episode 10

Comfort Food

Sometimes I close my eyes while writing this blog and just try to let the words flow from my subconcious and onto the keyboard. Perhaps that's why I always have typos hehe. I post the new entry then edited over and over when I could just do a spell check in the first place. Don't ask me why, impatient I guess.

My fence is the backyard is old and will start falling apart soon, I need to have a new fence put up but it's one of those things that gets put on hold until the thing falls down and you have to deal with it because you can walk into your neighbors yard and barbeque whether they like it or not. I wonder how much it would be to put up a new fence? I bet it's expensive.

I'm craving Eggs and Bacon, Man i'd love to have me some Eggs and Bacon and some toast. Fried Eggs so I could break the yoke with my toast and sop it up. Yum! Some Hash Browns too and not the just plain potato chunks but the golden brown like at McDonalds! Oh man.

My Daughter is getting older each day and gets into more and more things as time passes on. One day she's dumped the laundry out of the basket and is using it as a sled and the next she's pulled everything out of our bedside dressers. Hehe little explorer. That damn Dora is influencing my child!

How was your Halloween? Ours was good. We only went about a block because it was windy and cold but we got some good candy and my Daughter had fun. I feel older and older as the holidays come each year and I realize that I'm not a kid anymore and these things aren't really for me but for the kids. Aw man! I get to experience it with my child at least.

I will always enjoy Thanksgiving! Thanksgiving has got to be my favorite cause I love FOOD! Thanksgiving a few years back was ruined cause my wife's cousin decided it would be a great idea to get married on Thanksgiving and in a city other than our own! I thought that was shitty of them to do that. Sure I am part of that family but part of thanksgiving is seeing MY family as well and I didn't get to that year and it sucked. They did have turkey and everything but you had to eat outside and it was super cold and windy my mashed potatoes were cold. BOOOO they ruined thanksgiving! Assholes! I'm still mad about that hehe.

My Wedding Anniversary is coming up on the 7th. Gulp! I never know what to get my wife on these things and get all panicky, What do I get her?

On this day, My Daughter is 20 months old, Yay! I fear the Terrible Two's! Another Gulp.

Happy Halloween!

Yay Halloween is here and My Daughter is going to be a Cow! Hehe she looks adorable in her Cow Costume and hopefully we get lots of candy for her Dad to eat. Muahahah! Episode 9 of Nowhere In Mulberry is here! It's our Halloween Edition and I hope you enjoy it as always it was a Gas to make. Oh the gas pain! I'm not dressing up and I can't remember the last time I did. Usually most halloween's were just scrambling to put something together to go and get some Candy! One year when I was 11 I believe I dressed as a Ninja and even had a plastic sword now that year Rocked! Well enjoy Halloween everyone! Next up is Thanksgiving! Haha this stuff comes and goes way too fast!

Nowhere In Mulberry Ep 9 The Halloween Edition!

Thanks for the Presents!

I laughed out loud just now realizing when I signed up for this whoe Dad thing, you know Fatherhood? The amount of food and such that I would have spit into my hand all gooey and yucky and chewed. Hehe From fuzzballs on the carpet to old cheerios found in hard to reach places to that 'too big' a bite that my daughter took of her lunch, it all gets spit into my hand. Now for the realization that made me laugh. It doesn't bother me, I just chuckle when I'm getting half eaten cookie spit onto the palm of my hand. Because it's my Daughter and I love her. When you think of things like 'Would you mind if someone spit up food on your hand?" Of course you would say 'no'. But you have to take set paremeters of the situation into account such as 'Who's' doing the spitting. Hehe.

Episode 8 is in the bag and I'm proud of it. I just wish that more people got to listen. If you have yet to listen to 'Nowhere In Mulberry' why not start with Ep 8? There are already some inside jokes that have developed in our shows short existence that one wouldn't get, but perhaps that will prompt them to go back and listen to those early shows. Hell, I'd go backwards 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1. Why not.

My Birthday has come and gone and i'm 34 and I got some cool DVDS and some CD's and we went to one of my favorite restaraunts called 'Campo Verde'. It was a good time. I wish close friends could've joined us instead of 'the others' as I call them, Hehe little Lost wink wink. Not to come off sounding harsh or anything but shouldn't I be asked who i'd like to join me on my birthday dinner? Ok i'm not going there. Forget I said anything. hehe.

I got LOST season 1, Batman Begins, Undelared boxed set, Scrubs season 1 on DVD. Man I got alot of watching to do! I got some more cd's to put on my new mp3 player too, 2 Echo & the Bunnymen reissues that have been digitally rematered and have bonus tracks! their albums Heaven up here and Porcupine are two of my favorites.

It was cute seeing my daughter dip her whole hand into some cheese dip, that kid is getting into everything lately! She loves dumping things out on the carpet. I give up. Time to invest in a Steam Cleaning company.

One thing about the Podcast that hadn't occured to me was gaining friends with peers, fellow Podcasters. I've talked to a few and enjoyed sharing email back and forth it's alot of fun. It's a whole community that accepts with open arms. At least the boards I hang out that is. Hehe.

Feel free to join the Mulberry Forums come on you know you want to!

New Toy

I got a nice MP3 player for my Birthday from my sister, I'm now enjoying ripping lots of cds and putting them on the player. Can you believe i've never ripped a cd till now? Lol wow get with the times man! I can see why some people find this addictive I started with an Echo & the Bunnymen cd then was like 'why not another' and then another and then how about my old Helmet CD 'Meantime' I love that one. This is fun! I can't wait to load up some podcasts and listen to them like that running errands and such. Cool.

I'm gonna need a new player with about 30gbs so don't think I wouldn't appreciate another one! Hehe I'm so greedy. My birthday is this week. I will be.......Drumroll...............................34 GASP!

Yeah I know i'm an 'OLD' good grief. Gulp. Just 10 years ago I was single living with my oldest sister in a cramped apartment. Man we've come far. It's funny while pouring through CD's to find to rip I came across a few that were Beer Stained that I hadn't listened to in probably 10 years. I wonder if they will still work?

Alot of the music I listen to now is from that period of my life from 18-24. I've gotten a few new favorites but I always go back to those old reliables.

Bill should be handing me Episode 8 "The Ocho" as we are calling it and it should be a dandy. A dandy? What the fuck am I talking about?

N.I.M.Podcast #6 is now up and it's fun. I didn't mean for us to get so much into tv but we love tv so much. We will be getting into other interests as well. I'd love to have people call into the show but for now I need people to calling the voicemail. I will play it on the air so Call me and tell me what you think of the show and what you want us to talk about.

This is our best sounding show yet we are really working out the kinks.

I've gotten a little feedback here and there and it's been pretty positive so far. I love talk radio and this is what I wanted to have, A talk show where I talk about my favorite things.

In this episode of Nowhere In Mulberry I talk about one of my favorite subjects. ASS. Yep that's right, but not just ass but the way that Hollywood now markets movies with ass shots. I've talked about it in the show and you've probably noticed yourselves. From Stealth to Dukes to Into the Blue and now 'The Fog' they feature Ass-shots for no reason other than to entice the viewer to come and check this backside out! I think it's silly but I love talking about it. Hehe.

I love you. You complete me.

NOWHERE IN MULBERRY DOT COM IS WAITING FOR YOU!

Here we are

Another day goes by in my life as I sit still looking out the window. Bugs crawl on the screen door outside. The temperture finally dropped yesterday and now it's in the 60's. Thank you thank you I am so over the summer heat. Like, Bye. Whatever.

Two days and it will be the future and this will be in the past. Past tense and what a stupid observation. Have something to say you jag-off. I got nuthin' but this six pack of empty and now i'm truckin' home. LOL what the fuck am I talking about. Am I locked away in some box waiting to be rescued?

Two days ago I was walking down the hall as I caught a glimpse of an appartion standing in the middle room. I stopped and looked in and there stood A robe hanging on a hook on the closet door. It's funny how the mind plays tricks on you how just a glimpse of something for a brief moment the mind tries to put the pieces together and this time the piece was a figure standing there, not a robe which isn't as interesting. I laughed and closed the door as Casper flipped me off from the inside. Little fucker.

Too many times i that I would stop not thinking that one thing that made me not want to do that thing was not thinking that thinking it would make me even want to be interested in thinking about it. That's what I was trying to tell you all along! Sheesh. Thank you thank you.

*Takes a bow*

I crack my knuckles and prepare to play this little fucking Diddy.

"To lose a Dominate tooth, I smell two things wrong." "I heard that girl out on the roof, I prayed it's not that blonde!"

"To use and Object Treated real, I'd have to be a reject with no appeal!"

A term I use a Term I use alot.

That's when it happened and the brown cookie with arms and legs took a look at me and flipped me off for the years of oppresion to his brothers. I quickly snatched him up and ate him and it was a good death. Fucking cookie! Doesn't he know his purpose it to be eaten?

Haha I thought as I gained 20 pounds instantly. The Ladeez no like dis here Belly! Me got big belly now! Growing stoopid! Hahahahahahaha I just pee peed my pants as I load this here shotgun cause zombies and banging on the door trying to get in.

I better finish this letter to the new guy who's gonna be making airplane models in here. Be sure and open the window for sufficient ventilation. Don't want to breath in them Noxious fumes.

I hereby signed below right there

Oops Hahahahahaaha that one almost got me wow you are smart. Two many times swore rip out the guts!

I want a robot to keep me company and make me FUCKING SANDWICHES!!!

IS it so bad to want a SANDWICH!?!?!?!

Thought NOT!

Episode 5 of Nowhere in Mulberry

Man what a pain in the ass. I put up episode 5 in the early afternoon and then needed to change the audio to a newly updated audio. You'd think this would be simple but I cluster fucked up everything creating multiple posts and multiple feeds at different sites. I was tearing my hair out and then I decided to just delete everything and then start all over again. Well everything seems to be ok now. The data telling me how many have listened is gone now, Bummer. Odeo is all jacked not even listing an episode 5 so just stream or download it off of our site at nowherinmulberry.com or itunes or podcast pickle which are linked on the site. I am very happy with this episode I think it's our best yet. I just hope no one was trying to download or stream the show right when I chose to delete it. Ugh if I could do it all over again I would've just left the other audio up. Man I wish i'd never even jacked with it. Sigh. Enjoy Episode 5!

Nowhere in Mulberry Episode 5

My 'Lost' Theory

Ok folks here is MY take on LOST. This is my ridiculous theory. I've started thinking about this and now i've come to realize where they are going.

The island the logos and the numbers are all a program. A program to a simulation that is stuck in the 'on' position. The people of the island that were there before the flight815 people showed up are different programs running security and doing little jobs here and there much like the unseen security monster.

Desmond's job is to oversee the code repeatedly typing it in when the 108 runs out. The 108 is the signature code put in by the creator the 'voice' of the island if you will.

Each passenger of oceanicflight 815 represents a program from a different system. Such as Jack a recovery program dealing in logistics, Kate a hack program created to retrieve passwords etc, Locke an unfinished program that was being written for Loss prevention, Hurley a Lottery number generator program, etc etc.

I predict that there is a regeneration station on the island where the dead can be repurposed and brought back to serve a new purpose for the island. Boone will be back as will Ethan but they will now serve the island program.

The island is like a magnet it's a virus pulling in programs from all over just like the MCP from Tron. There is a big picture that will not even be hinted at until season 5. Back to the logo.

The logo is an imprint left by the programmer. The logo represents a calling card to the guy who inserted his program into the already existing application. It was for some reason not known implemented to keep something out. something that obviously has not been seen yet. I believe the 'Sickness' is a repair code and 'virus' if you will-to rid the 'Island'program of festering spam that's clogging up the function of the island.

The function of the island? A Video Game.

The French lady is an NPC as are The Others- She giving game instructions to programs not PC's-Or are they? Could the passengers be unwilling Player Characters forced into this madness? Now that I think about it Ethan is a PC or Player Character and Online guy at a computer.

He's at a stalemate in the game not able to solve a puzzle which mentions a child. When he finds the Survivors of flight 815 he integrates when he discovers that one will soon give birth. That's his answer. he needs that baby. Only what he doesn't know is that they have nothing to do with the Island puzzle. When he would suddenly pop up repeatedly he was signing onto his account that's how he would disappear as Claire would be placed into his inventory. Once Ethan is eradicated by Shannon he is locked out of the system for griefing.

Rousseau and the black rock are all places in the game to visit. there are triggers all over the island for certain adventures to begin.

When Michael and Sawyer wash up on the island could possibly be the starting point for beginning players.

I pulled this one outta my ass, I got nuthin'.

Thanks Dad

So I ask my Dad today if he's listened to the Podcast. He'd only listened to the first episode and now doubt not all of it. I asked him what he thought. He mainly only had things to say about the music he'd written for it and how the poor quality of audio I had chosen to encode the show in had caused the music to sound crappy. It was of poor sound quality. I explained that we'd done 3 more episodes and were learning with each episode and I believed made an improvement each week. He then went on about other things and I stopped defending the show and simply was ready to get off the phone.

I don't want to seem petty or like a big baby but all I wanted him to say was, "Good Job son, Good work son, Neat show son, Not bad son, Anything son." I'm being a bit dramatic most likely but I hung up thinking, "What the fuck?" It reminded me of Kindergarten of all things.

This is very hazy but I assure you this did happen. This was while we lived in California in Redondo Beach. My Dad was picking me up from school. Kindergarten at Washington elementary. We'd done wood working that day. I was 5 years old. I remember painting a piece of wood red with paint and then hammered nails into bottle caps on the top most flattest area and called it a boat. I was very proud of my boat. The projects all of us had done sat in the sun to dry so that we could take them home at the end of the day. I can still remember waiting impatiently from inside the classroom staring out the window at my Boat. I couldn't wait to take that home. I couldn't wait to stick that nasty piece of wood with old bottle caps and nails into the bathtub when I got home.

Later, after Kindergarten was over and we all filed out I picked my now dry Boat off of the newspaper that laid on a slab of concrete outside. I was giddy with excitement. I got in the car and showed my Dad what I had made with a huge grin on my face. My Dad didn't hesitate to say, "Why couldn't you have made something like that?" He pointed at a boy carrying a wooden Bi-plane with a propeller that he was flicking with his finger showing it off for other kids.

I was deflated as I am now. You never did know how to boost the ol' confidence did you Dad?

In my Dad's defense he did give some helpful hints and such but my point was that I just wanted some positive confirmation at the work I'd done on this project. I do want it to be the best possible and I want people to like it and I love doing it.

I love my Dad and at the same time he drives me insane.

Nowhere In Mulberry Epsode 4

Monday of the Dead

I know that people suffered tragedy in the wake of Hurricane Rita but I am thankful it wasn't near as devasting as Katrina but who am I to comment when I am sitting here in my own home. All I'm saying is I'm glad it wasn't as destructive a force as everyone had feared. People still lost homes and power etcetera but it still wasn't as bad.

I took a week off from the blog like a lazy bastard I'm at a time now where I'm just thinking about the show nonstop and I'm sure that can get old real fast. Just ask my wife, Hehe. Seriously though I think that by the time we get to episode 10 we will be rockin'. Episode 4 was recorded on Saturday evening and it turned out better than I thought it would be while we were making it. I would like right now to thank Vanessa, Stephen and Bill for such a great job they are doing! Bravo guys *Cue Applause*.

Monday of the Dead is actually a title I had written for a short story in 1990 while eating lunch everyday while on my break at the Bankrupt craft store. I'd sit at Whataburger eating my lunch and imagining what it would be like if the dead had come back to life and I'd have to get back to work. Haha reading it now I wonder why I thought for a second that the real me would even go back to work. I obviously had no life at the time of writing this story. Back at the store I and other employees would board up the store and fortunately a customer had left a bunch of their guns in the store because they were having them framed in a shadowbox which is a frame with depth to fit objects. We of course had no bullets but that's ok because a Delivery truck a day before had accidently delivered parcel intended for a gunshop and we had plenty of Ammo. Hehe convenient.

I never got much past that scenario but sometimes I miss those days of a lunch break from work and just chilling alone and reading the paper or perhaps listening to talk radio. It's great when you can look back on times that you didn't think were necessarily great and smile knowing that it was a much simpler time.

The times that I continue to say that I wasted at Bankrupt Crafts led to mosts of what I have now. I would most likely never have met my wife and I would never have met my best friend. I never would have met many people that I still reflect back on fondly. Of course there's always those few that I'm glad that I will never see again, but there weren't many.

For awhile we were having get togethers with the old employees of the store and it was fun but it was only the most recent employees all of the the people that worked there when I started were gone. The people that were my age when I started moved on and the employees were getting younger each day as I got older. Everyone had moved on while I stayed at this job that I should have moved on from long ago. Thankfully I had no other choice but to move on once the place shut down for good. Cheers.

Oh Shiznit!

Here comes Rita! My Wife was born in Houston and still has lots of family there and now things are hitting much closer to home. There are names to the faces now and I hope that all of them get here safely. They are all coming up here in our neck of the woods in the Dallas/Ft.Worth area. I hope that their posessions are not destroyed but most of all I just hope everyone is safe, not just in my Wife's family but everyone. Get out of there!

Also I hope we don't get too hard either, gulp.

Nowhere in Mulberry Episode Three is out!

Get it while it's hot! I really think we are getting better with each new episode. This episode was a major pain in the ass to record with all sorts of technical dificulties and I just wanna thank Bill right now for turning a piece of coal into a Priceless Diamond! Thanks Bill you rock!

I'm really hoping you guys dig the hell out of the show and that you go to Odeo and Itunes and Podcast Pickle and subscribe to us. I'd love to get a nice audience going. I appreciate any input.

I had a fun vacation but I am happy that I am back cause i'm really getting into the show and want to make it all work.
