Lazy... Crazy!?

So... Let me just say it.  I'm a bad person.  I snicker when people trip, I never call home enough, and I haven't blogged in a long long time.  I think those three things together are going to keep me from getting prime seats for The Rapture.  Don't get me wrong I'll totally score seats, but I won't be able to make out any of the action.  So in an effort to ensure that my eternal entertainment isn't marred by someone too tall sitting in front of me, here is a nice little update for the people who still get lost and find their way to my site.

Recently, I have been a regular font of creativity.  Maybe a muse has touched my prominent brow, maybe I'm slowly being poisoned while I sleep at night, or maybe I'm just beginning my slow descent into dementia.  Whatever the reasoning may be, I have been a man obsessed with trying to think of funny T-Shirt ideas and slogans.

It all started with Snorg Tees.   I read a bunch of cute shirts and thought: "Hey! I can totally do that!"  I come up with little one-liners all the time on my Twitter, and I'm not completely at a disadvantage when it comes to using simple drawing tools.  So I set about copying and pasting and drawing a couple different ideas to submit to Snorg with the hopes that at $150 a pop they might like one or two and I'd be able to say I was a published author read by thousands.

 Let me share some of my creations with you!





Then someone directed me to Threadless where they can pay as much as $500 for a slogan.  The only hitches being that all ideas are put up for community vote, and they limit you to 65 characters.  That is far shorter than my 140 limit on twitter so needless to say I've been having a little trouble formulating some compelling quips.  And the slogans I have thought up have also not been well received by my normally adoring public.

Even though I'm clearly not going to make oodles of money off of my "everyday talent," I realized that it has been a lot of fun thinking up all these things.  So if you all feel the urge, give in and express your creativity in the best way you know how.  While the fiscal rewards may be few and far between the feeling of accomplishment is pretty superb!
