A Powerless World

A Powerless World

Not everything is fixable. I don’t now which is worse- knowing something can’t be fixed, or knowing it can be fixed and doing nothing about it. Either way, it translates into feelings of uselessness and inadequacy. And why is it so easy to put off important things until tomorrow, when fixing them today would be much less painless.

“Procrastination” Tales Of Mere Existence (YouTube)

Procrastination is, hands down, our favorite form of self-sabotage.
Quotation from Alyce P. Cornyn-Selby

Nothing is so fatiguing as the eternal hanging on of an uncompleted task.
Quotation from William James

The Precise Behavior of Exceptions

The Precise Behavior of Exceptions

Did life turn out the way you thought it would be when you were a kid? What you expected is probably what you got (unless you were unlucky); and if you didn’t expect much, that is also probably what you got. But no matter how well you planned (or didn’t plan), be honest– your life didn’t turn out exactly like you thought it would happen. For better or worse, one thing is certain: There were surprises and exceptions along the way.

Expecting the world to treat you fairly because you are a good person is a little like expecting a bull not to attack you because you are a vegetarian.
Quotation from Dennis Wholey

We are always paid for our suspicion by finding what we suspect.
Quotation from Henry David Thoreau

Don’t apologize to me, Tiger

Don’t apologize to me, Tiger

O.k. I get it. You’re sorry. But I’m not the one you should be apologizing to.

I convinced myself that normal rules didn’t apply… I thought that I could get away with whatever I wanted to.
Quotation from Tiger Woods, Professional Golfer

If I’d observed all the rules, I’d never have got anywhere.
Quotation from Marilyn Monroe

If you obey all the rules, you miss all the fun.
Quotation from Katharine Hepburn

Feelings of Impending Doom

Feelings of Impending Doom

Maybe its the change in weather. Winter. Icy fingers inches away, ready to grab you.

An aged man now entered, and without
One word, stept slowly on, and took the wrist
Of the pale maiden. She looked up, and saw
The fillet of the priest and calm cold eyes.
Then turned she where her parent stood, and cried
“O father! grieve no more: the ships can sail.”
Poem by Walter Savage Landor, Iphigeneia

“To who ever is taking my money, please stop.”

“To who ever is taking my money, please stop.”

I love roadside stands that sell fresh fruit, vegetables, eggs and flowers. Some growers use an honor system: take what you want, leave some money on the table. It seems to work, since most people are honest.

China 6,000 / The Moon 384,000

China 6,000 / The Moon 384,000

This is the time of the Strawberry Moon. But if a spell is necessary, don’t become overly reliant on the phase of the moon. The Moon is just one influence on how you live your life.

The three nights before the New Moon are known as the Dark of the Moon. As energies are uncertain and unpredictable at this time, casting spells in this period is not advised.
Quotation from MoonSlipper.com

The most valuable thing I have learned from life is to regret nothing.
Quotation from Somerset Maugham

Two Wrongs

Two Wrongs

Most people consider it untrue that two wrongs make a right. Logically, a wrong seems unambiguous. But like truth, there are many shades of wrong, and also many shades of intention. Some people are honest about their mistakes. Being honest hopefully keeps a wrong from becoming a regret.

They say two wrongs don’t make a right
Well maybe that is true
But I can’t describe the feeling I get
When I take revenge on you.
Lyric from Suicidal Tendencies, Two Wrongs Don’t Make A Right

Regret is an odd emotion because it comes only upon reflection. Regret lacks immediacy, and so its power seldom influences events when it could do some good.
Quotation from William O’Rourke, Idle Hands

Customer Service

Customer Service

Sarah Clark, who asks “what has happened to decent customer service?” is the inspiration for today’s comic. And she’s right. But also, having worked at both sides of the register, I’ll say this: the customer is not always the most pleasant person in the world.

I’m terribly swamped, so I may miss a couple of comics this week. There will be regular updates, but maybe three or four new comics rather of the customary five or six. This is temporary. Please leave lots of comments so I don’t feel bad.

As long as the world is turning and spinning, we’re gonna be dizzy and we’re gonna make mistakes.
Quotation from Mel Brooks

When someone is impatient and says, “I haven’t got all day,” I always wonder: How can that be? How can you not have all day?
Quotation from George Carlin
