I have been told by several people that I am the best there is at blatant self promotion. That may be quite true. However as of late, I have hit a bit of a wall. It’s all my fault! It has been several months since I have blogged and I am just now starting to miss it. The fact that I lead a boring life is contributing to the lack of content in the virtual world.
Even though I am not sure what it is at this moment in time, I would like to really promote the Brocster brand. The best tool I have come across so far is Facebook. There I have the official Brocster Fan Page. If you have a Facbook profile, I suggest you become a fan or “like” the page as the kids are saying these days. The page is very close to having 200 fans.
The challenge is to get to 200. To help in that I am going to offer a special shout out video to the first 200 fans. I am not sure how I am going to pull this off just yet, but it is going to be something a lot cooler than just sitting in front of my Mighty Muggs reading names off a sheet of paper. This is going to be totally awesome. At least I hope it is!
So there you have it everybody. If you would like to be a part of a very special shout out video, all you have to do is become a fan of Brocster on Facebook.

Let me just start off by saying, I am not one to believe in ghosts, but after last night, my opinion may have changed. It was about 10:30 PM last night. I was talking with my friend Chris on the cellphone about Grimm Fairy Tales and how sweet the comic book series is. Suddenly the power goes out in my house! No big deal, the power goes out all the time, right? This was different. First all the power went out. Then just the light in my bedroom turned back on, but the television and everything else remained powerless. The light that came on just started flashing on and off, and the ceiling fan started to spin very slowly.
Now that was weird enough to freak me out just a little bit, but the events of the evening were just starting to escalate. While all of this is going on, I am still on the phone narrating this all to Chris. As I am talking to him, my phone just shuts off! He says on his end of the line it just went straight to a busy signal, but not the typical dropped call silence.
Now I am thinking that some kind of E.M.P. went off in the area or something. The power going out, I can accept, but affecting a mobile device that does not require electricity? That is really bizarre. Still things continue to spiral out of control from there. By this time I had gotten my phone to turn back on, and I called Chris back. That is when I started hearing this high-pitched ring. The lights are still out at this point, and the noise is coming from downstairs. So I do what anybody would do, I go and investigate. This noise is actually coming from the microwave. It keeps starting and stopping rapidly causing the ringing sound. The plug gets pulled on the microwave, and thankfully it shuts off, so does my phone, again.
Now I am really starting to get worried! What could possibly be causing all of this to be happening? I get Chris back on the phone again to give him the update on the events that have unfolded. I am then standing in my living room when the doorbell rings. I am thinking it is one of my neighbors checking to see if we had power, but when I got to the door, nobody was there. Chris heard it through the phone too, so I am not crazy! When it rang, I was maybe five feet from the door. That is way too close for somebody to ring it and run.
Really freaked out, I return to the second floor of my house. Another light in a different room turns on. I try and turn that light off with the switch on the wall, but nothing happens. By this point, I wasn’t too surprised by anything. I just kept flipping the switch and it eventually turned off. Then about five minutes later the power was restored to my house.
Now to recap the events. The power goes out. The light in my room is the only thing to turn on and it flashes repeatedly. My cellphone turns off, twice! The microwave keeps starting and stopping in an infinite loop, the doorbell rings, and a light in another room refuses to turn off. I am not sure what could of caused these things, but it was nothing normal. Perhaps I was a witness to paranormal activity.

For those of you expecting to find Brocster Comics, you need to update your links. Brocster Comics is located at http://www.brocstercomics.com. Please update your bookmarks. This site is called Brocster.com and it is completely different than that other site. Yes, Brocster.com is a part of the same blog network as Brocster Comics, but this site will have very little to do with comic books. This blog is all about me, and what I am up to these days.
Now that I have gotten all the formalities out of the way, let’s cut to the chase. About a month ago I promised that my blogs were going to stick to a certain theme. In order to do that, I had to do a little bit of an expansion. Now instead of one blog, that ended up being a jumbled mess of random posts, there will now be four separate blogs. Each of those blogs will be locked into a theme. The end result, not sure, but hopefully not four blogs that end up a jumbled mess.
So far there are three of the four blogs in the Brocster Blog Network up-and-running. They is One Per Case which deals mostly with toys, Brocster Comics which will slowly become a comic book themed blog again, and of course the one you are currently enjoying, Brocster.com. This is the one without a theme you could say. It is basically a recap of what is going on in my life. Apparently some people out there find that topic interesting. I am still trying to figure out why.
How was that for an introduction? Hopefully there will be frequent updates on this blog. I don’t really have that much of a life so it may be difficult to come up with interesting things to post here, but I am going to try! Eventually, notice I said “eventually,” I hope to return to the daily blog, and this is where those posts will most likely end up.
