Ba Rum pum.

(That's What You Get, Paramore)
Yea in a blink in an eye the streets can be chewed up, but take forever to pave again.
"It's something that's eating your inside. It's not the food, it's not the booze. It isn't anything consumed, so is it. Becoming a problem you can't hide. So every time you thought that you were wrong you were right."

Bills + pay for stuff = broke Timmy.

Didn't want to draw one. And awhile ago my friend Fitz sent me this comic. So I thought why wait till I do a guest period.
Thanks Fitz.
Fun show. Thanks to everyone.
"It's no surprise to me I am my own worst enemy. Cuz every now and then I kick the living shit out of me. Can we forget about the the things I said when I was drunk. I didn't mean to call you that."

I just like playing for people. Big or small crowds. As long as they pay attention.

(Push, Matchbox 20)
Honestly haha. I can give you 3 examples of the top of my head. 30 rock(Tina Fey), The Office(Jenna Fischer), Scrubs(Sarah Chalke). And that's just NBC on Thursday. Then again if it's a cartoon it has to be funny and have pop culture references.
It's been a white out heavy week.
Also Twenty One Up returns to open mic night at Krunch. Should be there around 10.
"Because maybe. You're gonna be the one that saves me. And after all. You're my wonderwall."

"Look outside at the raincoats coming, say OH"
(A-Punk, Vampire Weekend)
Originally I was gonna say "The two most beautiful words in the english language...pay day." But then I thought of the Donnie Darko quote, which led to the first two panels. As I was laying it out I thought, "Really, pay day is THE MOST beautiful phrase?" To me it just seems shallow and lame that money would be the most important thing. But it is important don't get me wrong, but it shouldn't be above all. Or something like that haha.
Also, do I get indie cred for referencing that movie?
Enjoy the long post for once, later.

(The Taste Of Ink, The Used)
Yup.
"High anxiety I. A victim of society. High anxiety, my. It's my high anxiety getting to the best of me."

So that's what makes this comic special.
If you can't read the whole title it's "I mean, what other comic has a character named Tim and writes about his life, NONE that's how many!"

I'm sure I'll get just as annoyed with certain songs like I did before. But hey, they're new haha.
"I used to think maybe you loved me, now I know that its true. And I don't want to spend all my life , just in waiting for you. Now I don't want u back for the weekend. Not back for a day , no no no. I said baby I just want you back and I want you to stay."
(Walking on Sunshine, Katrina And The Waves)
Yea, bullhorn. Haha. Actually in retrospect I shoulda drew a bullhorn, shit. Haha.
"I'm sick of feeling like i lost this fight. I'm sick of graying out the wrongs and rights. I'm pulling out of here to clear my sights. Tonight,tonight. Alright, Alright."

It's true, thought about the song all day.
"I never thought my life could be. Anything but catastrophe. But suddenly I begin to see. A bit of good luck for me."

(I'm A Loner Dottie, A Rebel, The Get Up Kids)
Though I said I don't wanna do just funny comics too often. I'm just returning to the old tradition of doing weird or funny comics when I got nothing else to say.
"Oh, baby, what you've done to me. You make me feel so good inside. And I just want to be close to you. You make me fell so alive."

And a happy birthday to Dan.
"Whatever happened. To Tuesday and so slow. Going down the old mine. With a transistor radio. Standing in the sunlight laughing. Hiding behind a rainbow's wall. Slipping and sliding. All along the water fall, with you. My brown eyed girl. You my brown eyed girl."
(Brown Eyed Girl, Van Morrison)
I think I've just been focusing too much on doing jokes. Which I feel was never what this comic was about. It was about how I feel. I guess awhile ago I tried to deal with stuff that was bothering me by just making a joke out of it. It worked for awhile, but it sorta evolved into just writing funny comics with a sort of depressed edge. I really don't want this comic to be about telling jokes for the sake of it being funny. I just want my megaphone back(as the title states). So let's relive the good old days of depressing, funny and insightful comics about my life shall we?
If your still reading, come check out my band pulling two open mics in one night. First will be The Dive around 9:30, then we high tale it over to Krunch around 11. Let me know if you need directions.
Later folks.

Meep, meep.
"Jump in and feel my touch. Jump you want to taste my kisses. In the night then. Jump, jump for my love."
