Well I have recently decided to throw myself out into the middle of the lake in the hopes that I can swim or at least breathe under water. I am planning on opening an online store for Polar Opposites. Now before any of you get your hopes up to high, I must be honest with you. As of now the store is nothing more than an idea floating around in my somewhat hollow head and a couple of scribbled T-shirt designs. I’m not really all that sure where I even begin but then again a few months ago I wasn’t even sure I could design my own website. Anyway once I get it all figured out I am planning to offer a couple different T-shirts (sorry no speedos for now). I don’t have nearly enough readers to really support a store yet so this is more of an experiment for me than anything else and a good opportunity for any of you die hard fans to get your hands on some merch (it’s short for merchandise just makes me sound cool when I type). Consider this an early step in my efforts to clothe the world. It may still be a little while tell the store becomes a reality but I should have some sketches of the T-shirt designs posted hopefully by the end of the week.
I want to say thank you to everyone for all the well wishes and prayers for my Dad. It truly means a lot to me and to him so thanks.

This blog is more on a serious note. My dad is going through some tough times right now. He has been battling a deadly disease for the past few months. The good news is that he is winning the fight. The bad news is that the fight has been hard on him and its not over. This past Saturday he started the last and toughest part of his treatment. The disease he has is treated basically like a cancer and so he has to go through chemotherapy which is what he began on Saturday. My dad is one of toughest guys I know (other than myself) so I know he is going to get through this just fine. In the mean time he can use all the prayers he can get so please, if you have a direct line with the big man upstairs ask him to heal my dad and give him the strength to get through this.
If you know anyone out there who is going through some tough times of their own, lend them a helping hand even if its just something as simple as sharing some words of encouragement. No good deed goes unnoticed.
Dad I love you and I pray for you everyday. I only hope that someday I can be the type of man that I have always known you to be.
Okay apparently it takes more than once for me to learn my lesson. As many of you may know my website once again was not updated at 12:01 this morning. Only this time the blame is partially my fault and partly the fault of my web host. I went to update last night and was unpleasantly surprised to find my site was down. I don’t know how long it had been down or when it came back online but when I tried contacting my hosting company the line was busy and their online support was down. I went with Host Monster as the host for my site because they were one of the top rated but this is the second time in three months my site has been down for an extended period of time.
I apologize to everyone. The new comic is now up and I hope it was worth the wait.
