One thought coming through strongly the last few hours, somewhat releated to last nights postings about change. I have changed alot lately.I don&#8217;t really know how to describe it, I&#8217;ve really gotten into Graphic Novels and TPB&#8217;s <sup>(Trade Paper Backs, collections of single issue comics)<\/sup> recently, perhaps in no small way influenced by my discovery of <i>Sandman<\/i> and what I am collecting is tending to be all on the Vertigo\/Image side. Ok some of it was recommendations from others, <i>Kabuki<\/i> and the ABC stuff, but recently <i>Powers<\/i> really did it for me, I&#8217;m getting into <i>100 Bullets<\/i> and today I read the first volume of <i>Transmetropolitan<\/i> which I really enjoyed. None of these are kids comics, they have a &#8220;mature content&#8221; label. At the same time, I&#8217;m also going for <i>Batman<\/i> stuff, always one of the darker reads, some of the old stuff, around the death of Jason Todd (Robin 2) is really dark, also going for the team stuff, <i>Stormwatch<\/i> started quite high, not too thrilled with the second volume, and I can&#8217;t figure it I am really enjoying late 90&#8217;s <i>Superman<\/i> and <i>JLA<\/i>. Ok unless your a comics buff I&#8217;ve so lost you but it&#8217;s kinda strange. One over-riding thought is <b>NOW<\/b> I know what really good writing is.<\/p>\n<p>On whole other fronts completly. Every now and then, I have these meetings where I just come out so de-motivated and depressed that I really wonder if there is any chance this will ever change. I have to keep telling myself it will, and soon. But that&#8217;s getting real old, how many times can I convince myself of that before I finally realise it won&#8217;t and that I only have one option. I guess that&#8217;s going to be soon, There is a pretty major date coming up next week for things to change and I will have to see how that ends up.<\/p>\n<p>Ok so thinking on it, it&#8217;s my birthday in a couple of weeks, seems like an appropriate deadline to me. It could be a time of change, one way or another it will have to be. I don&#8217;t want to have to leave, I can&#8217;t for the life of me figure out why not, but I don&#8217;t. I&#8217;m doing everything I can to sort things out but it&#8217;s not enough. Is anything ever enough?<\/p>\n<p>and the world turns&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So many things going on in my mind at the moment.
