Fell asleep early tonight. With the way my schedule has been, I’m usually in bed early enough to get a fair amount of sleep for my 1:45am or 4:45am shifts. There’s a trade off there, though, because by 7pm or 8pm I turn into a zombie. I start to push the limits to how long I can be awake and I end up in this twilight where I can’t focus on anything and end up being miserable until I crawl into bed.
Tonight I was supposed to sleep much later than I did. It’s getting cold so I’m having strange dreams and I woke up after a weird dream from my past. I was at a very important event in my life and who I sat with really determined the course of action I took for nearly an entire decade. Just the choice of going my own way or being part of the group mattered that much. I’ve never second guessed my choice before and it was interesting to see what would have happened if I had stayed 15 feet away from a group of people who went on to shape my life. There are positives and negatives to the dream, I know I can’t change the past, but it was enough to shock me into waking up early and getting my butt onto this computer again.
I’m don’t feel I’m in control of a lot of things these days in regards to my future. There are things just a bit out of my hands. There are things I avoid because of it and really, the things I can control are my body and my website. The rest of it can be steered away from the rocks, but really, until things change, I’m not in a position of power these days.
That said, you’ve seen in other posts how I’ve controlled my body. Progress is still being made on that front, the other… well…
You may have noticed changes to the web site recently. Our Facebook page is now ReallyCoolComics and that’s a reflection of some things that are going on. I know I’ve been wishy washy about a lot of things. I was clearly focused on making everything fall under the Amazing Incredible banner and shoving the zero issues down everyone’s throats as I rebuilt things from scratch. Well now I’m realizing that while the approach wasn’t wrong, per say, it just wasn’t working in the way I wanted to. So some changes were made. The zero issues still serve as the launching point for the various old series, but the old series will be presented on their own (with some changes) and reflect what I’ve done. They will be final once they’re up. It’s time to move away from the past. I can’t change it, I need to move forward.
That said, I’m working on what could be both the ending and the beginning to the Amazing Incredible saga. Issue six wraps everything up. You will have answers and what happens next… well, we’ll see.
I’m not quitting comics. I’m not that crazy, but where we go after issue six (the former issue 0-6), is new ground the saga will have ended and a new chapter will begin.
With that said, I’m heading back to bed. The phantom shift got me again, I’m not due up for another three hours.
And it’s a workout day.
Sigh.
The more things change…
