So, not a lot to write about, I just got to thinking... which is something I do quite a lot. I mean, I rarely get in trouble for not thinking, usually just for thinking the wrong thing.

So anyway, I just wanted to say I'm grateful for everything. I see people every day who take the things they have for granted. Ya know, whether it's the people who are there for them or the material things they have, I just don't think a lot of people are truly appreciative. For instance, how many times have you ever envied someone for whatever reason? Did you ever think "Man, if I were that person, I'd be so happy and so thankful." And yet, I can imagine someone looking at me and thinking that... so I'm taking this opportunity to say that I am thankful for all that I have. How did I become surrounded by such wonderful people? I'm dedicated to the girl I love, my friends are there for me, my family loves me unconditionally, I have a decent job, I have a nice ride, and I have no real enemies. Not only do I have no reason to complain, but I feel like I should be celebrating for making it this far and having so much to show for it. You might say I'm a lucky guy, and I do feel as though I am, however I am a good guy and I think in my own way I've earned it all. It feels good to know that being a good person does pay off and there's even a certain satisfaction in proving that an atheist can be a good person.

Now that that is out of the way, I'd like to point out that my Merchandise page is up and functional. It's been a long time coming, though all I really needed was a couple of hours and some motivation. Also, I had some left over time and motivation, so I went back and added each and every journal entry from my old pre-blog journal into my blog and then dated them back to their original date. It doesn't sound like much, but it took just about as long if not longer than it did to set up the merchandise. Everyone is welcome to order from the merchandise page, though I can't imagine who would actually do so. The first person to order will probably be me when I end up ordering my own crap to give to people as x-mas gifts. If anyone else orders, though, I want pics!

I really need to do something with the comics page, but I'm just shit out of ideas. Also, I think I'm goig to do away with the art page and just link the button to my deviantart page. Yea, so look for more updates to come. Oh, and if you order anything from the merchandise page, I promise you are NOT supporting international terrorism. (just the domestic kind)
