Halloween baby, YEEEAAH! 😎😃

[jasonderoga86]

Welp, looks like Jason has reached another year. I am THIRTY-SEVEN, BABY! And it looks like it's going down with a sure-to-be-awesome Halloween/Double B-Day Celebration (a participant at our center also celebrates their B-day today)!

This B-Day, I got a lotta things to appreciate: my family being closer now than ever, the unexpected many sales I made with my graphic novels (in particular, almost every co-worker of mine at work who bought copies of Sneakers' U-Force Vols. 1 & 2 paid double - yes, DOUBLE - the suggested price; in other words, $40 instead of $20), the completion of two graphic novels: Sneakers' U-Force Vol. 2 and Curse of Creation: Lil' Hero Artists, Vol. 2, and last but CERTAINLY not least... meeting four VERY important people in my life as of right now: Matt Zimmer, Jazz Nevermore, Lady Jess, and TwedeeNimbus, without whom this B-day could not have been more special.

To the future!

Aww, I'm happy to hear you had another birthday! How cool is it so be born on the 31st of October!! :D
Also I'm very thankful and glad yo have met you, too! Congrats on all of your accomplishments!

You are a wonderful person, a very talented artist & writer and a special friend. Here's to the future, Jason!! ^__^

Thanks, Jess! I'm glad to have met you as well, you played a big role in helping me to curtail my catastrophizing over the senseless gun violence ravaging the country. Now I feel that even though pro-gun politicians say they won't stop the problem now, something will change. I firmly believe humanity does NOT exist for the sole purpose of slaughtering one another. No God or Higher Power of creation would allow that.

[a_natural_beauty]

Yes, and change is something we all need so much right now. This has been going on for way too long and way too many people have been getting killed. Not to mention all of the emotional damage to the survivors!

If dictatorships can fall, as history has shown us, then it WILL come to a point where America will be fed up, and the politics will have to take a back seat for the good of this nation's future. Children may not matter to pro-gun politicians, but to a wide majority of American citizens, they mean everything. As far as I'm concerned, change is basically inevitable.

[a_natural_beauty]

Yes, that is a very good point. I truly believe most Americans are already fed up.

HAPPY B-DAY, MY DUDE!! I'm so sorry it took me so long to respond to this. May your days be awesome, prosperous, and badass!

I'd buy you a giant cake if I could, but since I unfortunately can't, here's a cake emoji. 🎂

[jasonderoga86]

No harm, no foul, Jazz. I appreciate it all the same!

A cake emoji is perfectly fine, I kinda grew out of birthday cakes a long time ago. 😆
