So, yeah… this thing with doing a strip really is for me to keep drawing and as sort of a diary for myself, so, occasionally, they won’t make sense.
This one may or may not.
I had a fantastic Christmas, with lots of great presents, great reactions to the gifts I gave, lots of love and fun.
We played Wii and foosball and ate and… well, it was really good.
The only weird thing was that, for once, no one fought. Not one fight, not one cross word.
What kind of family Christmas is that, for crying out loud! There has to be at least one moment, but not this year.
It was wonderful… and a little disconcerting! I think I’m gonna have the Christmas Spirit in me for a while because my brain won’t think Christmas is over until that first fight! I’m hoping I’ll still be whistling “All I Want For Christmas Is You” until June.
Anyway, I’ve been incredibly lax in doing the stripdiaries, and I’m a little pissed at myself because of it.
I’m gonna blame it on the triptophan.

I know, I know… I’m almost 39 and I’m lucky to have as few as I do on my head… or any hair at all! (Knock wood!)
It’s funny. My beard is pretty bloody gray and it doesn’t bother me. It’s the ones on the noggin that drive me nuts!
I, of course, plucked it out (In the most manly way possible, of course, using power tools and… um… guns and stuff… ).
Vanity, thy name is Mike.

Sooo… yeah. I had an… incident with someone.
I was talking crap about them and it got back to them.
Didn’t sleep too well, trying to figger it all out, but I THINK it’s done with, no hard feelings.
Me an’ my big mouth.
Amazing what assumptions can do. Especially when they’re completely wrong.
It just got me to thinking about it all.

I can’t tell you how happy I am that I didn’t get stressed out today.
After the past few weeks, it is a welcome relief.

News Seriously? Did I?
Stuart, you have to stop this. Not only did I already respect you, then you show the proof of your impeccable taste in music, THEN you make me smile on Tuesday night… a much needed smile, I must say, as I was completely freaked out and frazzled and overwhelmed (which was more about me letting the campaigns get to me than the result, although I was hoping for a closer outcome)…
and now THIS?
Mr. Hayward, well done, sir. I tip my hat.
“The prime task now facing the election victor is healing the community psyche from the bruising it has taken during this election. The PLP must now resist all temptation to humiliate, ridicule or otherwise behave in an uncivil fashion toward UBP leaders and supporters.Furthermore, PLP leaders must now make significant healing gestures, across racial and party lines. These cannot be mere lip service; neither can they be superficial nor just for the moment.
Along these lines, the PLP should extend “the big conversation” initiative, expanding it to include all areas where discrimination impedes social justice, including race, gender, ethnicity, age, sexual orientation, religion and so on. The roots of discrimination - prejudgment, misunderstanding and intolerance - are the same in all areas. Addressing these roots is key; ideally under bi-partisan or non-partisan leadership.”

I had planned on finishing this and posting this tomorrow, but it went so much faster than I thought it would, so I figgered, “What the hay?”
Please to enjoy…

News Proof that the Party is still strong.
Now, I just pray that we can all move forward and come together as one Bermuda and that all the lies and racist screaming can stop.
Please?
