It was apparently only 4 years ago when a handful of people breathed life into Jobert: an average not so special young man who was burdened with the very special task of saving the world. Throughout his adventures, he would find himself battling against the most fearsome of foes: including robots, alien invaders, and genetically enhanced monsters. But none of these horrible villains could compare to Jobert's greatest adversaries: a modest budget, and lack of manpower.
With only 20 hard working animators slaving on this project, Jobert's debut was delayed indefinitely, and the voice cast moved on with their lives.
4 years had passed. To me, it actually felt like 10. I had even been mistakenly telling people it was 10. I would go, "Yeah, I did some writing, voice dubbing work before. It was 10 years ago. But there were production problems and the project died.". Oh ye of little faith.
And little faith I had indeed. Little faith in Jobert, a character that I had a hand in creating. I had underestimated him.
You could imagine my surprise when I received a message from Edith, the head animator's wife telling me that they needed me to to dub for Jobert because some of the dialog was lost. I was like, "Dub for Jobert?! Didn't he die 10 years ago?!"
No, Jobert lived. And to this day, he continues to struggle so that his story might be told. And I will not lose faith in him again so easily.

Jesus sure likes to bitch!
I'm sure all of you have received religious chain mails by now. Some of them are actually good. Bot after receiving a couple of thousand of them, I've finally had it up to here and I just have to comment:
I don't wanna commit sacrilege or anything but dude, I've been forwarding Jesus' messages all over the place and he's still bitching! Al he ever does is frikkin' complain! Children don't complain as much as Jesus does!
So he died on the cross for us. Great! Thanks. Now, get over it! He keeps dangling that in front of us! It's like he keeps reminding us, "You owe me! Don't forget that! I died on the cross for you!"
Well, it's my turn now! So hey, Jesus, I've forwarded a couple a thousand of your frikkin' messages! You frikkin' owe me! How would you like it if I reminded you of that every frikkin' day?! Well, I won't. Doing good for someone, helping someone is it's own reward. I don't go around reminding every single person I've helped that they forgot to thank me today.
Have some respect, Jesus! Do something about your inferiority complex. And for Chrissake, BE A MAN!
