Best Week Ever - Pi(e) Day and St. Patrick's Day

I rarely get excited. I'm known for being stoic. Actually, I like the label, but it is a week like this I can barely contain myself. My two favorite holidays are in the same week, Pi(e) Day and St. Patrick's Day. Pi(e) day comes on Wednesday, March 14th (3.14) and whoa contain yourself, Saturday is St. Pat's Day.

What? You may ask is so fantastic about March 14th. Fair question. I just think it is fun to have a day that encourages the consumption of PIE. It is quirky and I prefer pie over cake any day. So I'm looking forward to getting my pie on Wednesday. Now I can't decide rather to indulge and enjoy a slice of pie by myself or purchase a whole pie and bring it home to share with my lovely and understanding wife. In previous years I would involve one of my son's, typically my younger who seemed to tolerate my quirkiness better. Well he moved out last month. Leaving me with an empty nest and no pie eating buddy. Maybe I'll text both of them right now, share the excitement and show them my love for each...them and pie. (10 minutes later and no reply...I thought they were the text generation)

St. Patrick's Day is really just an excuse to drink. But really who needs an excuse to drink beer, maybe Irish whiskey also? I like this holiday because it doesn't require any gifts or cards. (Although stupid me should encourage the card exchange since I'm a card drawing cartoonist). Like a lot of holidays it does come with its own menu; corned beef, cabbage and potatoes. Yum. Food that I don't bother to eat any other time of the year, like turkey and honey baked hams.

Go get a pie and don some green Saturday and drink a beer. Just because there is no gift and no cards doesn't mean you can't indulge yourself.

Agnes Martin, Artist? That is such BULLSHIT!

I didn't have any intent to blog today. Then I saw the GOOGLE doodle for today, a set of vertical colored stripes. Since I use several computers, but only one do I stay logged in on my Google account I figured the other computers were just not showing the image correctly. This seems to have been the case in the past when these Google doodles have animation. I went to my computer logged into Google, but no movement when I moved my mouse over the image. So I clicked on the image. This led me to all the associated links and discussions of what this doodle was celebrating Agnes Martin. This is some of the first text I read: Agnes Bernice Martin was a Canadian-American abstract painter, often referred to as a minimalist; Martin considered herself an abstract expressionist. She was awarded a National Medal of Arts from the National Endowment for the Arts in 1998" from Wikipedia. I continued to look at more images. It seems all this women painte...

After Having Kids, The Rest Of My Life Is Just For Show

For some reason a series of thoughts went through my head the other day in sequential order of what is the worst thing that someone could do to me or happen to me. I'm sure I was stressing over some late bill. Doodles, random, Boon, Cartoons, cartoonist for hire, boondawgoggle, I could be bankrupt, not so bad many people have been bankrupt and come back. A little embarrassing, maybe not the thing you want your kids to see, but again, there are a lot of now successful well know businesses that were the second, third or umpteenth try. Take everything I own away, either by theft, foreclosure, fire, basically just think you've got nothing. Yea a pain in the ass, but really would I miss any of it. Probably not. Think minimalist...see earlier post http://boondawgoggle.blogspot.com/2013/04/what-is-destination-im-i-on-right-path.html . I just don't think it is that big a deal having a bunch of shit. Let me fast forward some. Prison. Throw me in p...

Bed Wetting - Feel The Sensation

life insurance, sales, closing tactic,worse, beaver, machine gun boon, cartoons, cartoonist for hire, boondawgoggle, one guy drawing, doodles Now on the surface this is going to seem like the most warped thought. Even as I write this I'm not certain what my train of thought was, but for sure that train has left the tracks. To paraphrase my internal conversation, "wouldn't it feel good to just wet the bed?" Yuk! Idea, relaxed, kids, reflection, Boon, Cartoons, cartoonist for hire, boondawgoggle, one guy drawing, doodles Why on earth would I want to wet the bed? In order to understand this you are going to have to dig really deep into your childhood mind and recall the pleasurable, relaxing, easy sensation of not having to wake up, drag yourself to the bathroom to pee. It is this memory that somehow popped to the forefront of my mind the other day. Just a peaceful, ahhhh feeling. I'm not even going to attempt to psychoanalyze this. I'm just going...
