Rick The Stick – a comic on the Interwebs

Good morning

This week is experiment week. I’m going to try something completely new. Well at least since last July. I’m going back to my early morning routine. What does this mean to you? Not much, but this blog part is about me. The comment section and the polls are about you. If you want the inner scoop on how mediocrity in real life generates mediocrity in a webcomic – please read on. If not, please read on. The choice is yours and I’m glad to make it for you.

ENOUGH about you – getting back to me. I’ll be getting up around 4-4:30am so I can work on the comic. I’ve been only getting 4-5 hours of sleep a night and that tank is getting low, so it’s time to switch it up. Besides, I can’t let my wife go to bed alone EVERY night!! So ideally, I’ll be sawing ZZZZZZZs from 10pm on. This means the posts you read here – normally done the night before – will be a day old. Why should you care? Because despite the born on date of these blog posts being a day earlier than their posted, you’ll get a refreshed post. Not the end of the day post.

Dah – who am I kidding. No matter how you brew it, it’s still just watered down hodge-podge. I also noticed this past week that I’ve burned through my entire buffer, so I need to get my act together.

On the flip side, since the beginning of March, I am down 34 pounds. I need to get down 19 more to get to my ideal weight of 222. Oh and I have to do it in 45 days. That’s another benefit of going into the morning routine. Other than playing basketball at 5:30am three days a week, I’ll be out jogging (and it took me two years to get over the HATE of jogging) getting my sweat on shedding more pounds. Now, I’m no fitness guru, but I’m no slouch either. I’ll divulge the Rick the Stick Diet* over the coming weeks. I will start off by sharing my current weight (in case you don’t want to do the math above) and other info which I’ll post every Monday. Root me on, heckle me do whatever you want with it.

After all, this blog is about me, me and me. Fortunately, there’s less of me than there was in February!

* The patented Rick the Stick Diet simply what has worked for me – no results are guaranteed and duh – you should consult your doctor before beginning any exercise routine.
