GeeKomics*, and other things that make me smile

I originally started drawing these little pictures to express how I feel in the classroom.  These comics made me chuckle and laugh about things.  Much like how John, Katie and I had a running contest as to who would get new students latest in the year.  Due to my class being a year round course, I pitifully won by gaining new students as late as March.

Continuing to draw little comics, especially ones about rowing, was solely for the purpose of making myself smile.  I posted them to my site to try and make other people smile, too, but my secret hope is that most people say something like, “ugh, this guy has such a weird sense of humor.”  Greedily, success in that operation would actually make me smile more.

Now, of course, my little doodles (I don’t even know why I think I can get away with calling it a comic), are not the only things that make me smile.  I’ve really been trying to go to school with a more positive outlook.  I have been trying to increase strictness/consistency, as well as avoiding direct conflicts that just escalate bad  behaviors.   I have met marginal success, but it’s better than nothing.

Undoubtedly, my roommates have been supportive of me at school, as well as in my decision to not return next year.  I do appreciate this from them, and hope that they find my doodles disturbing and hilarious.  My family has also been supportive, especially my mom helping me find a new house and getting things lined up on that end.

Lastly, the one person I talk to more than anyone else and love every minute is coming to visit tomorrow (yay!).  The ultimate support and enforcer of inward contemplation; I don’t know what I’d do without my girlfriend.

*Even the name GeeKomics makes me smirk since it is so silly.  I originally thought that it should be pronounced as one work, “Geek – omics,”  but then realized that “Gee, comics” really captures the lack of sincerity that I put into each edition.  Finally, I concluded that the fact that I am even contemplating the “pronunciation” of a word that will as unlikely be pronounced as be found amusing, is utter madness.

I wonder how it calculates ratio.
