And now back to your regularly scheduled program

Where we join the Poonheads doing what they are usually doing... Just sitting around.

Picture taken by someone. I stole it off of facebook. Figured it was okay, since I was in it.

Friends Will Be Friends

New comic up.

But before I talk about that, I'd like to advertise Campfire Comics. It's been a long time coming, and I'm glad I've finally got the ball rolling. What is it? Well... Check it out. Lots of information over there.

Now, about the new comic... It's not really very funny, but I've been meaning to draw it for a while. I know that Poonheads is usually pretty crazy and nonsensical... It's been getting more perverted and more bizzare since its inseption three years ago. Especially towards the end. Hell. The last few comics alone have had more testicals in them than most comics have during their entire run.

So, I guess this comic is a far cry from what we've seen recently. No balls at all. Not even much of a punch line. But that's okay. This comic is what Poonheads is really about.

Friendship.

Sure, sure. That may sound cheesy and a little queer, but it's a fact. Since its beginning, Poonheads has been about the friendship between the title characters. No matter what kind of crazy things happen to them, they stick together. They joke about each other, but it's all in good fun. Whatever happens... whatever disagreements occur, the friendship never fades.

The comic is, and always has been, an exagerated reflection of our real selves. Our friendship, however, is not exagerated.

Thinking back, until the Poonheads, I had no real friends. There were people I enjoyed hanging out with, whom I thought were friends, but when it came down to it, they really weren't. This newest comic is based on a true story. It was during this excursion that I realized what friends really were, and that the Poonheads were truely my friends.

Google "Friends will be Friends" by Queen. That song pretty accurately sums it up. In my opinion, anyways.

My step dad, when he's not being an asshole, is a pretty wise man. He once said to me, "If a man's got one good friend that he can count on in life, he's doing good." I've got more than one good friend, so I guess that means I'm doing really good.

Until next time...

SQL Server 2005

Holy Crap! I'm a somebody now! That's right. You're speaking to an official Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist in SQL Server 2005. Or MCTS, as we call it in the business.

What's that mean? It means that I'm awesome. And that I know pretty much everything there is to know about SQL Server 2005. I'll be getting all the good job offers and all the chicks now. And it'll be awesome.

Let me tell you... It sure feels good to be certified!

Mad leet guitar skillz

Some of you may know that I'm a pretty sweet guitar player. In fact, I'm probably the best guitar player ever. It's okay if you don't believe me. My hardcore raw style isn't for everyone, and I can understand why people would say nay.

Those of you who know that I play guitar may be aware that I've written a song or two. And they're all really fucking awesome. When I'm not writing my own awesome songs, I learn other peoples awesome songs.

Probably the first song I ever learned to play on my guitar is Aeris's Theme from Final Fantasy 7. Having played this song for many many years now, I've played around and made it my own.

You can listen to my sweet ass rendition of said song here: CLICK HERE.

It's not the best recording. I used Sound Recorder and a shitty microphone. And also, I don't really know much about recording music.

Anyways. Let me know what you think. Unless you think I suck. In which case, you can shove it.
