Ode to Hobbes

The zebra’s stripes are lacking hues, so they don’t compare to you-know-whose. Orange, black, and white is what to wear! It’s haute couture for those who dare! It’s camouflage, and stylish, too! Yes, tigers look the best, it’s true!

I couldn't help but think of you at last nights celebration. I remember when it was you reading the passion of Christ. It brought tears to my eyes that you weren't there with us, and aren't with us anymore. Something that has been on my mind is when people say, "I know they're in Heaven". I don't say anything to negate what they think or feel, but a part of me wonders, how can someone say this when we really don't know. Is it just sentimental? What will I say, feel, or believe when someone so close to me dies. Not that you weren't close to me, but perhaps when I'm faced with a stronger reality of death, I might say the same thing. I miss you, and I think of you so often.

I miss you so much man, I just want to play dnd again. Or I wish we could have played MTG a couple of times, that would have been so fun. The four of us playing magic.

God, I keep making mistakes at work. It’s so frustrating. It just adds to everything else that’s constantly on my mind.

Admin. is not on your side. It’s not like I really believed this, but I didn’t think it would be shown to me in such a trivial and overblown way. I work for my community, and the people, not for them. That’s what matters.

You reminded me so much of Jason Mraz. You were legit my padrino.

I can’t believe it. He was one of the only people who listened to me. He didn’t see me as a naive kid, maybe he did, if he did, he didn’t show it. He was a great man, who loved his children so much. I can’t believe he’s gone. I loved him, and I missed him when he stopped walking. And now, I’ll miss him in an entirely different way. I just can’t believe it.

The final Calvin and Hobbes strip appeared on Sunday, 31 December 1995.

The strip began in November 1985, and had appeared in more than 2,500 newspapers around the world, and in early 1995 Bill Watterson announced that he would stop the series by the end of the year as he felt he had accomplished all he could.

“This was not a recent or an easy decision, and I leave with some sadness. My interests have shifted, however, and I believe I’ve done what I can do within the constraints of daily deadlines and small panels,” Watterson wrote.

Watterson did not publish another cartoon until 2014.

I would have graduated this past Saturday. I feel kinda sad, I know I made the right decision but there is a lot of little and big things that make me feel stupid and wrong. It’s a lot.

Do I feel ready, hell no. Only a few years ago things were different, I was waiting at a bus stop in the early morning to go to class. Now I'm awake at night, not watching Youtube (well, I am right now actually) but waiting for my son to come in a few hours? Hopefully. Crazy huh. Way to crazy man.

I was talking about Goosebumps with a friend tonight and found the greatest tagline for any work of horror ever

I'm OBSESSED with how quickly this gets to the point. Welcome to Dead House. It will just kill you.
