I know! This was at an independent used book store that didn't have a whole lot of comic stuff. I assume the owner probably either didn't know what to price it at, didn't think it was worth much, or just wanted it gone because of size. I actually read it at work when I volunteered to sit in our office just to answer…

I got that X-Statix omnibus at a used book store for $10 last winter. That's an insane discount and I couldn't pass it up.

Absolutely, especially on Boxer and High Violet. I like Trouble Will Find Me, but I don't think it has any real moments on it that make me react emotionally like those two.

Tom Waits - Never Let Go
REM - Strange Currencies
The National - Fake Empire

Mark Kozelek is kind of an asshole, but man that song always makes me tear up when I listen to it. I agree, it really says what I want to about this subject better than I could.

I actually saw my ex-fiance for the first time this year after five years. This also happened a week after my last break-up and she was with her now fiance. It was a shock at first because I haven't seen her for so long but also because she lives nowhere near me. But then she came over and talked to me and that shock…

Thanks. That's all probably for the best, the not drawing attention to yourself, I mean.

I haven't run into my ex yet and I keep wondering how I'll react. I hope the same way you did, or at least not creat a scene. But, good job.

-Have a date tonight. More I talk to her through texting, the less I am looking forward to it. But hey, I'm probably not going to get stood up this time.
-Met another woman through some friends and didn't realize that we work at the same place and have plenty in common. We exchanged numbers, have been messaging a lot,…

Well, at least the Pirates' season is almost over.

I have to agree with what thesixthninja and Judkins Major said. I had a whole string of bad dates and non-starters, and then this summer I just decided to take a break and do things that I wanted. I put a ton of focus on booking and promoting gigs with my band, helping out in the community, and co-founded an arts…

I went to a friend's house for dinner with him and his wife not long ago, and his in-laws were there too. They ended up dipping out early because his father-in-law had to get home to catch Hawaii 5-0.

Thanks. I'm sure I'll be fine. Its just really frustrating sometimes.

Man, I think I hit rock bottom dating-wise this past week. I had three potential relationships flame out in the worst way. First, there was a woman who lived about 45 minutes away, which isn't that bad in my mind. I don't know if she thought it was, but she ended up ghosting me. I think so far as to even block my…

I would message them and maybe ask if they go to the same church, and then play it off like you didn't know. This is probably a better "in" to start a message than you think.

As someone who lived with an undiagnosed anxiety disorder for a long time, I highly recommend going to see someone. If anything, its nice having validation that there is something wrong with you, but getting help is great. An easy way to start getting help is to see if your employer has an employee assistance program…

A picture of my ex and her new boyfriend popped up on my Facebook feed despite us not being friends. That was a punch in the gut mainly because in the past week I have been ghosted, stood up, and a girl I invited to hang out ended up leaving that night with a guy I work with, and he mentioned it to me on Monday at…

As excited as I was to finally have Bells available in West Virginia, last week we finally got Founders. Last weekend, I also participated in a bar crawl to raise money for a scholarship that has been set up in a friend who recently passed name. It was a great time and I successfully didn't have a hangover the next…

-Had a successful launch of a concert series

O Brother Where Art Thou probably. Maybe Fantastic Mr. Fox also.
