Just want to say thank you to everyone who said happy birthday, and huge thanks to those of you who donated to my Relay For Life team. There are some very generous people out there, and your help is so appreciated. If you’d still like to donate, you can visit this page.

Also, I entered the Beaver and Steve Guest Artist Competition, and I got runner-up! I really love Beaver and Steve, and it was fun to draw those characters. Maybe James Turner (who’s guest-tooned for us before) will let me draw them again sometime. Not that he could stop me just doing it for fun. I can do whatever I want, JAMES.

Hhmmm, maybe I should come up with a better title for this blog post…

It’s Drew (the not Justin). I have two things to talk about. The first is Relay For Life, which is a really great charity event that takes place at parks and schools all across the U.S., and it benefits the American Cancer Society. Relay is all about remembering people we’ve lost to cancer, and raising money on their behalf in an effort to fight the disease.

On a seemingly unrelated note, my birthday is next week! I’ll be 24, I think, which is a cool number because it’s divisible by a crap-ton of other numbers. Also, it means that next year will be a perfect square! Woohoo! Shutup! I normally wouldn’t advertise my birthday publicly, so maybe this raises questions…

“Drew, your comics are so funny, and you’ve made some of my favorite animations, how can I celebrate the greatness that is your birthday?”

Effusive though you are, it would be weird of me to ask you for birthday gifts, but I just had an idea. If you feel like it, how about you donate to my relay team? I promise, any small amount will be ridiculously appreciated.

“But Drew, I live so far away from you I think. How on Earth could I send donations?”

Using the internet! Just visit the previously linked donation page.

An even BETTER reason for you to donate is in remembrance of someone in your life affected by cancer. It’s one of the best ways to honor such a loved one.

Thank you!

My girlfriend and I just got back from Shake Shack in NYC. Those burgers are delicious! We ended up standing in line for about an hour but I think it was worth it. It was a nice day out too, so it was nice to be outside.

I ended up having the Shack Stack, which is, as described by the menu, a “sandwich of 2 cheeseburgers and a ’shroom burger served with lettuce, tomato and shack sauce”. Tasty and filling. I also had a vanilla shake on top of that, so right now, I’m totally stuffed.

I think I am totally sick of reality tv, specifically the competition ones that have emphasis on the relationships amongst competitors. You know, the show where they all compete and live with each other and complain about it. Bravo has Top Chef and Step Up and Dance, the CW has America’s Next Top Model, Project Runway just moved to Lifetime, and even Animal Planet has Groomer Has It. It’s just getting really old for me. They will never go away though because they are dirt cheap to make compared to the non-reality shows. I do have some respect for some of the competition shows that only focus on the competition. American Idol and So You Think You Can Dance come to mind.

Overall though, I could do without reality tv. The writer’s strike definitely didn’t help with this situation. I don’t hate them for it or anything. It just means we might have a bunch more reality shows for the next year because of the lack of writers for new shows or episodes.

Oh, and for the record, I don’t watch these reality shows by myself. My girlfriend enjoys them, so often I watch them with her =)

P.S from the girlfriend:
Don’t let Justin fool you. He actually loves reality T.V. shows. The only difference being that his involve watching someone play a video game for 2 hours straight on Gameplay HD. I’m  completely serious.

P.P.S from the girlfriend:
So You Think You Can Dance is pretty much the best show ever.
