I LOVE STRIP MALLS

No, I don't. I don't know why I said that. I suppose I do have some sarcasm left in me, a small pool of it sloshing at the bottom of my gall bladder or whatnot. The sunshine of my newfound cheery obnoxious optimism hasn't yet reached into all the dark festering recesses of my healing psyche. Patience. Nothing like Karate For Christ to whip up the remaining vapors of cynicism. Jesus.

How 'bout posting a new self-portrait so we can see the rose-colored glasses? I like to picture them as little round John Lennon ones . . .

If there is a God, somehow I don't believe he meant you to get someone's attention by smacking them up side the head with the heel of your foot.

The relief is that it doesn't look like it's being stormed by believers. Or maybe, when you drew this, they just hadn't got out of their Skateboarding For Truth meeting yet.

Gall durn. Which strip mall? I guess they are good for 'get in and get out' Back to the kitchen.

Oi! Karate was invented by Buddhists!

It would seem that I either need new reading glasses (which is to say, a first pair) or a caffeinated beverage. I read "cherry-flavored optimism" and "festering porsche."

I think cherry-flavored optimism would go nicely with my caffeinated beverage as long as it's not too sweet. Unfortunately I'm fresh out of either.

An awesome concept. I think a little research into this place is in order. Thanks for uncovering this gem.

I giggle every time I pass this place. The bar located next to Karate for Christ is a gay bar, which hosts a pretty fun drag show. So much hilarity in one strip mall.
