I promised things that make me smile and I deliver on my promises.

Dog Hates ME

Short little comics by Sam Brown that make me smile. This one suits my mood at the moment but many of them make me smile. He updates a few times a week for guaranteed entertainment.

An Endless Cycle

My friend took a motorcycle trip from New Orleans to Chicago to the West coast and then back to NO. He promises updates and even if there aren’t many it’s a fascinating trip to follow. I have to admit to complete jealousy. What I wouldn’t give to be able to take a crazy journey like that… Maybe someday I will.

Never Gonna Give You Up

KT sent me the link to this video to make me feel better. It worked. That bartender is awesome.

Then there’s this guy:

Dude! He’s a purple raccoon named Boris! I’m in love.

I honestly don’t know why I love this guy so much. Maybe because he’s awesome?

He’s brand new from artist cool guy Nathan Hamill (yes, he’s related to THAT Hamill). Nathan’s got a blog too, go check him out.

You can also find Boris online at U1 Toy Arts.

This weekend also made me smile. I spent it with the family in San Diego since my little brother was in town for the week. He’s in his second year of law school so he hasn’t had much time for the visiting and whatnot over the last year. It’s always nice to see him and his girlfriend and spend time with the folks.

The weekend really was a good one. Family time, delicious pizza, an afternoon spent at Stone Brewery in Escondido, beer, a little beach, onion rings, True Blood watching. Pretty good right?

As always, there are a few pics up. San Diego pictures.

EDIT:

One more thing to add. If you’re on Twitter, check out @robhuebel. His updates are top notch and make me laugh without fail.
