Ok, time to get all political on everyone.

Here in America today is election day. I’m sure it comes as no surprise that I’m an Obama man. I already voted early for him and proudly stand by my vote. Many of the people in my life also chose to stand behind him. No, stand WITH him! I could go on and on why I know Obama is the right man for the job, but I’ll spare you. Needless to say, I love Obama and hope that he wins today and our country will be a much better place.

But, regardless of who you vote for, VOTE! Even if you like the other guy better for whatever reason, VOTE! Even if you support a third party that doesn’t have a chance in hell this election, VOTE! If you are eligible to vote, there is NO excuse not to vote. If you failed to register in time or didn’t apply for an absentee ballot in time, shame on you. If you are not going to the polls today, extra shame on you! If you don’t vote and you could have, you have no right what-so-ever to complain about the state of the country for the next four years because you didn’t have your say when you had your chance. Even if you don’t like any of the candidates, just do a write-in vote! Just VOTE!

To those who already voted early or voted by absentee ballot, thank you. You’ve done your duty and you are beyond awesome. To those who applied in time for an absentee ballot but it got lost in the mail, I’m sorry. You have every right to be pissed as your government failed you. I still thank you. To those going in today, thank you and remember: stay in line! Don’t let the 2 or more hour wait stop you from voting (bring your iPod or something to read). Don’t let any one at your polling station stop you from voting. Don’t let ANYONE lie to you and tell you that Democrats will vote on the 5th or that you have to go home because the polls will be closing. As long as you get in line before the polls close, stay there until your vote gets counted! It is your legal RIGHT and unless you are convicted felon no one can stop you from voting! This is important, the most important election of our lifetimes thus far. Make your voice heard no matter the cost! The few hours you spend waiting in line today will change the next four years of this country, of this world. They may very well also change the course of history FOREVER! Be a part of something HUGE!

Now get out there and vote, you crazy kids! And if you are still undecided at this point for whatever reason, do me a favor and vote Obama. He’s really good, trust me.

Sorry for the lack of comics. There has been something seriously wrong with my webhosting service and the site’s been up and down (don’t EVER use webhostingpad.com) and there is something wrong with my internet service (thanks a bunch, Comcast). It’s taking forever for anything to load on this connection and I won’t be able to upload anything at all onto my server until this all gets fixed. So there will be no new comics posted up until then, whenever when that will be. I’m really sorry. Once these problems all get fixed, I’ll post up all the comics from the past few days.

Sorry. I know this fucking sucks, trust me. I’m here pulling out my own hair over this.

Blerg.

So, there are some problems.

Comcast is fucking shitty. Here is what’s up:

1) The internet is being slow as shit.

2) I can’t upload ANYTHING on any server via FTP. NOTHING! Not on this host, not on my SCAD student webspace. At first I thought it might be my computer or my web host, but we tried uploading something via FTP on Amy’s computer and on her site’s host and the same thing happened. So by process of elimination, it has to be our internet provider, Comcast. They are somehow blocking us from uploading things via FTP. I don’t know how or why.

I have tried calling them tonight multiple times, and each time I talk to their phone-robot, press the numbers, go through a maze until I get to an option to actually talk to a LIVE HUMAN BEING. Then the phone rings and ‘click’ hangs up on me. This happened three to four times.

So what this means for inkdick…

Irregular updates until this shit gets fixed (and I now plan on being a zit of Comcast’s ass until they fix this). Irregular updates because now I’ll have to go trek over to a SCAD building just to upload things onto my site, but I can’t do that every single day or every single time I need to update. So until this clusterfuck of a situation gets fixed, that’s the way it has to be.

Please don’t stop reading because of this. It’s not my fault. Really. And I’m really sorry about all this.

I’ll try to get some comics up later today or Saturday. I don’t know for sure when since I’ll be busy with Comix Art Forum all this weekend. But I’ll try.

I’m really sorry about all this. And again, fuck Comcast.
