You know... trying to balance your life with bills and comics is a hard task to consistently keep up with or even for one to accomplish. Add economic woes of holding down a job in the picture with high food and gas prices... you are stuck between "a rock and a hard place", you know?

Hiyo!

So yesterday after coming back from work... I did some number crunching and some intense "outloud one-on-one conversations" of... "How can I pay my bills in two weeks and have enough money for gas and afford the new week of comics?" yesterday.

I must say that what yesterday showed me was the following...

1) That I may have inherited my mothers "psychological" problems of "schizophrenia and deep depression".

2) That "out-loud" conversations with only yourself, while intriguing neighbors that are outside the open doors and windows when you are cooling down the house, only confirm your "schizophrenic problems".

3) That you could have an "intense conversation" with yourself and not notice your only talking to yourself.

... and lastly...

4) That you might need a "womenly companion" so you dont lose the last of your "sanity" with only yourself.

So after convincing myself that I can still closely pay my bills and have enough to get gas for work... I can get me some comics! So here's what I got after budgeting myself for $61.41:
