Well, so much for keeping up to date here.
Honestly, in the age of Facebook, Twitter and what-have-you, it seems like having a blog or website is redundant. If you can keep up with me in real-time on other services, why come here?
I suppose I could rant on topics, but that gets kind of old and predictable.
So, what should I use this place for?
Teaser image for…. well, something that you’ll find out more about soon enough. Right now I think I can safely say that;
1) I have something to do with it and
2) The idea for this image was mine
Stay tuned. More info in the weeks ahead.
Alright, I’m not really taking a train, but I AM going to Reading!
Updates and pictures at some point.

I was going to write a witty (at least witty to ME) countdown of the 9 most memorable things about the past decade, but I decided not to. Sure, there's been PLENTY of stuff to make fun of for the past ten years – so much so that it's hard to really just single out 9 things.
Instead, I'm just going to wing it here and write a little about whatever major events happened that made an impact on me. I'm not going to number this, but as always there's no importance to the order of my lists – just the order in which I write them down.
So, without any further ado — The Zeroes Remembered.
Michael Jackson Dies Suddenly
While he may have died suddenly in 2009, his body of work will always be here to entertain us. The king is dead – long live the king.
Mike Imboden Breaks into Comics
And the world of comics will never be the same again. I don’t know if that's for better or worse, though.
%$#@^ers Attack the United States
I could rant for hours here, but we all know what happened in 2001. There's no need in beating a dead horse with a topic that will probably just end up with people arguing anyway.
Mike and Kim Imboden Celebrate 20 Years of Marriage
It was a bumpy road, but we made it. And I couldn't think of anyone better to have ridden it with.
Mystery Science 3000 Closes Shop
While it sucked to see it end, the final episode rates up there with the last episode of Newhart as one of the most satisfying conclusions in TV history.
The Rise of the Zombie
While not new to the 2000's, it was during the past decade that the living dead "came to life" with tons of movies, books and great comics like "The Walking Dead" and "The Living Corpse" (yeah, that second one is based on a bit of bias. But it's MY list!)
New Orleans Is All But Destroyed by Hurricane Katrina
Again I risk stepping into political territory, but how can this not be mentioned? Monumental $@%&-ups by local, state and national governments shows the world that for all of our bravado, we're still pretty bad at taking care of our own. The visions of dead bodies and destruction looks like a horror movie.
Barrack Obama Elected President
So much for staying out of politics. For better or worse, Obama shatters the racial divide and becomes the President of the United States. Bible thumpers and right-wing freaks go insane in the months following.
Kim Imboden Becomes a Teacher
Hard work and dedication pay off as Kim realizes a dream of hers and becomes an elementary school teacher. As a footnote, the scandal and fall of the telecom industry – namely MCI/Worldcom – played a huge role in her getting here since she had been moving up in the ranks and had management written on her when everything crashed thanks to a few greedy jag-offs. Proof that there sometimes really is a silver lining to a dark cloud.
The Y2K Bug
Hahahahahahaha. Although, come on, you've gotta admit it would have been… "interesting" if everything had ground to a halt and stopped working.
The Shot Seen 'Round the World
Britney Spears, in a swirl of self-destruction, flashes her c-section scar and vagina to the world as she drunkenly climbs from a car. Proof that fame can easily tear down what it creates, she goes insane in the months and years to come.
The Internet
From Facebook and Twitter to online shopping and porn sites featuring midgets dressed as Ewoks, the Internet has changed not only the way we live, but the way we live with others. The jury is still out on whether or not this is a good thing or a bad thing.
And with that last one, it's appropriate that I end this. Good golly, Miss Molly – there's TONS of other stuff worth mentioning, but we'll leave it at what we've got. I'm sure you've got some, so feel free to post away in the comments.
See ya' next year!
