The cartoon above is hilarious and is written and drawn by Toronto based writer/artist Ty Templeton. I have met Ty on the 2 occasions that I have visited Fanexpo and he is a charming and funny fella, always willing to do a free sketch for a fan. Check out his blog here.
The end of 2009 is nigh, and I wanted to say thanks to all the people who have been following this blog (officially 3 - damn)
It has been a difficult year, IMO we are in the middle of an Economic Depression, despite Economists and Politicians worldwide saying that we are in a recession, and this will go over into 2010 and 2011 from the sound of things. We in Jamaica are having some serious fall-outs, our Bauxite and Sugar Industry has been devastated, Tourism is struggling to survive and workers are losing jobs as companies compensate for loss revenue by cutting expenses.
My year has been difficult both personally and professionally as my job is directly impacted by how well the economy is doing. Antoinette and I faced the challenges of 2009 together, we discussed issues both positive and negative and I continued learning that sharing the burden really helps. She has been an inspiration and my strength when the going has been tough.
2010 offers a new challenge as we are worried about how our shrinking economy will affect our career and what social upheavals may result from a shrinking of the national economic resources. We already have problem with rampant crime and there is a possibility that it will get worse the longer the recession continues.
Personally I am prepared to meet any and all challenges in my job and to conquer it. I also need to pay more attention to Antoinette's business and try to help her as much as possible. I started getting a lot more active physically so I can get in shape and will continue in that quest and will post my progress, thoughts, ideas here more frequently.
To all my friends and family - Have a wonderful Christmas and a prosperous 2010.
