The name I have chosen for myself is Calvin Watterson. Those of you who have read the comic Calvin and Hobbes might have an idea of where I am going with it. If you haven't... WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?! ARE YOU SOME SORT OF UNCULTURED SWINE? GET OUT OF HERE!
Wait, I'm sorry, please don't click away. I'm only kidding of course. If you don't know who Calvin is, let me tell you about him. Calvin to me is a character who epitomizes the idea of creativity. He is only six years old and so his imagination is still very much at the forefront of his life and he is very capable of thinking profoundly. At least half of the comic is seen through the eyes of his imagination. While Calvin is pretty rambunctious and would honestly be a terror to raise and can have outbursts far worse than mine was earlier, he is tempered by his best friend Hobbes. Hobbes himself is really just another facet of Calvin's personality. To everyone else Hobbes is just a stuffed tiger doll, but to Calvin he is a wise creature of experience. He really just represents the more relaxed, considerate, and reserved side of Calvin... except when he's excited or angry, then it's a different story.
The point I'm trying to get at here is that the two of them together create lovable stories and inspire those to think more about simple things a little more, as best a child can do. I like to think that Calvin would have made a great writer one day.
I suppose in this blog I want to emulate that a little bit. Create something that maybe will make you laugh or think or disturb or blah blah blah, you probably get the idea by now. I think we've had enough of the boring formalities by now, so how about some comics?

This is kind of how I felt today...
