Art Thibert, Comic Avalanche and Thanksgiving!

Well folks, my interview with Art Thibert is finally up! http://www.silverbulletcomics.com/news/story.php?a=949

Some restructuring took place at SBC, and somehow my interview never got to the right people, but there it is and boy am I thankful!

I wish I could say I was thankful for the Comic Avalanche right now, but seeing as how for some reason my computer has chosen it as the ONLY website on the internet I CAN'T access it's hard to be. But seriously, it's a great site and I am thankful to be a part of it.

And speaking of which, when I'm able to connect to it again there will be some changes made to it. Already we've removed the cover image as the main page and instead made it an option to go to if you choose, just to see it. But the home page will be changing layout and with much better graphics. It will also include all the current news, and we do get the official PR that all the other sites get as well as other great stuff!

But all this being thankful comes right into play with the last topic of this post, THANKSGIVING! Yep, Turkey Day is finally here. Oddly enough, I eat turkey on a semi-regular basis, so that's kind of an irony or something, huh? :) Anyway, the true meaning of this day is being thankful for everything we have, have been given, have enjoyed, have been blessed by, etc. So first and foremost I am thankful for my family and my relationship with God. I don't always get along with either, but they are there for me regardless.

My brother, who is fifteen years my junior, was the greatest blessing for me. I was an only child with very, very few friends and spent a lot of time alone as a kid. I'm not upset by that now, because that's how I developed such a vivid imagination, thus putting me where I am today! But I still always wanted a little brother, and then Zach came along. After his father died three months after he was born my mother had to work a lot, so I spent a lot of time with the newborn. It was the greatest time in my life. He's thirteen now and we are closer than any siblings I know of.

I am also thankful for all the opportunities I have been blessed with, and the talents I've been blessed with. Lord knows I probably don't deserve them all, but I've had the chance to meet and work with a lot of interesting people, and after years of putting myself out there and working hard people are finally starting to take notice. For that I am very thankful and grateful.

And as a quick plug, I am thankful Jason Berek-Lewis mentioned me and this blog in his latest Industrial Revolution column so more people can share thoughts and comments with me! Thanks, Jason.

So if you are able to be with your families tomorrow enjoy your time together and remember what's important in life. It's not how much money or success you have, but the relationships you've built and the lives you've been able to touch, and those that have touched you. That's what truly matters. If you're not able to be with them, I'm sure they are thinking of you and vice versa, and the same still applies.

Happy Thanksgiving, Everyone!
