It's not always easy to tell...

Buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...

That's the sound of the real world around me. Actually, I'm drowning it out with some Judas Priest right now.

I've been having dreams about death for the last month or so. Not my death and never anything particularly gruesome or depressing. Well, one dream was a bit nasty where I had to watch people die from some poison and, for whatever reason, I was meant to observe. Wasn't pleasant and stayed with me a while.

But generally, they seem fairly benign. Just an element in a larger dream. I think it just comes down to the subject of my last post, which got some great replies in the comments. While I like the idea of things we create being immortal, I'd far prefer me being immortal. Well, I guess I'll work on that once I get my current project out of the way.

Things to do -
1) Finish cartoon show.
2) Find key to immortality.

As to do lists go, that's pretty small so at least I know I'm not biting off more than I can chew.

By the way, I followed one person who commented back to his blog and found a real gem - http://www.prozacville.co.uk/ . Thanks for stopping by, Steve. I absolutely love your blog. Brilliant cartoons and they brightened my Monday morning.

Well, the only immortal being we've discovered so far is a jellyfish; and that doesn't strike me as such a great way to wait for the cooling of the Sun and the freezing of the oceans :-/

A Vampire? But they are always whining about how miserable their lives are, what with their perfect bodies and glittering skin and perpetual youth. "You want to be a monster like me?" Well, bloody hell dude! all the TV commercials are always reminding me that I AM the monster, and you're now telling me it's equally depressing from your side? I can almost see the transparent tentacles of that jelly mass tremble with laughter >_<

Bitter's Back! Bitter's Back! Hurray! Hurray! Hurray!

(I am very happy! Can you all hear me dancing from the other side of the pond? LOL!).

I use to read Tarot cards. Death doesn't mean death per say, it means new beginnings. Anyone pregnant near you Bitter? Girl friend, sister? A new job on the horizon? A new project on the horizon, a new start at something, I just cannot think of cause we don't know the real Bitter?

It might also mean that two points in your life are fighting with eachother. You are a grown man- yet you work as a child's animator and are happier doing your life's work around children's projects. Maybe the adult Bitter is in a fight with the Bitter that still longs to be a child and keep staying in touch with the inner child.

There is no reason why both parts cannot live in harmony. You can still be like Peter Pan (I won't grow up) and still be an adult, paying your mortgage and doing responsible adult things while retaining the innosence and child like wonder of childhood.

Nuff said. Get off the couch Bitter, go directly to the Pub, do not pass Go, and get a Guinness.

Oh yes, the key to immortality are your drawings, the blog, the way you touch your readers and the children you will have as you leave the world's gene pool w/ baby Bitter's.

p.s. Prozac Blog WAS a find. Adding it to my Blogroll as soon as my blog lets me. It's not being nice right now.

P.P. S. Saw the last season of Red Dwarf. It went up on US iTunes this past weekend for $6.

I don't think I want to be immortal. I'd settle for having a real sense of PURPOSE/MEANING midst the haphazardry of my current life.

Jesus, I'm starting to sound like Forest Gump. Thanks for stopping by the 'Ville. I shall be adding you to my Made To Stick list.

Do stick around Bitter. I like a bit of bitter, as you can maybe tell.

But what if your purpose is to have such a loathsome & miserable an existence, as to make all the people you know feel better... about themselves? ;)

I've been enjoying your comics too, Steve.

Steve, I checked your blog too, and took the liberty of adding your to my blogroll once I fixed the template bug, and wrote up a little something which should be posting to my readers next week. I sent you an email. I hope this is OK,

I;m so depressed lately i don't know if I am coming or going......
