Awesome comic strips about how-to create comics for kids. I especially enjoy the observation that humans and elephants are the only animals with forward bending knees.

I am endeavoring to become a less lazy person and act on the things that I start; therefore, I am creating a real post from a draft and starting the easiest category I could possibly begin: Things I Hate.
I would say that one of my least favorite things in the world are lines:
Lines are inefficient unless managed properly. They allow those who have waited less time to cut in front of others without recourse by those behind them, and they allow themselves to be hung up by one or two confused and/or stupid people who occupy their time exclusively.
Unfortunately, lines are a byproduct of scarcity, and they have to be tolerated if you want to partake in the scarce thing. I find that the line experience quite often diminishes the value of the thing for which one is waiting.
I always feel as if I am in the Line Ride from South Park by the time I have completed my goddamned wait:
Fuck lines.

Having a personal website is an infuriating experience. How do you want to be perceived? What is your voice? Should you talk about your life or try to create a topical narrative that focuses your blog?
I have always been beholden to the path of impersonal narrative about a topic, but I like far too much and am far too unfocused to do that properly…
I am just a failure at blogging.
