Just a few tweaks while I have a few minutes online. Nothing important, not like anyone comes here anyway.
The unthinkable has happened! For the first time in an ungodly long time (7/25/00!) I actually got off my lazy azz and worked on my story! See what happenes when someone lets themself have a day off? Final Fantasy 7.2 chapter 5 is now up and running! I still can't believe it's been over two years sense the last chapeter got posted, this is sad, very very sad!I don't even remember what most of the original was like, oh well, I think that's the point of fan-fics: To turn the story the way you like it! Though it will be extremely hard to stay loyal to the characters...
Oh and I actually got to change the front page around a little bit so it's not the same as it was for so many ugly (and I do mean ugly) years. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to update this page on that date, so I'm not too sure when that got done. But at leaste it did!
That's it, no more ranting on this page, it's become way too damn personal to be a utility page. Nothing besides actual update information! yay... What's today then? Just fixing a few links and other minor repairs. Kinda' like tightening the loose bolts on the Titanic after it went under.
Told ya' I'd be back! Too bad I only have 15 minutes util the library closes. I do have enough time to let out some BS so here goes: I noticed the great difference of emotions in yesterday's entries, most likely due to big amounts of time spaced inbetween sentences as my brother showcased his new game "State of Emergency" (a great sim, this one is all about realistic RIOTS!). I just hope I can get in touch with my (most likely soon-to-be-ex) girlfriend before she read that entry. I tried to break up with her a few times, but Ms. Clingy couldn't even get it when I say "I just don't feel like seeing you." And they say men cann't take subtle hints! ~5 minutes till closing~ A new friend told me about this web site xanga.com, it's like a virtual journal. Interesting idea, especially sense that's what I keep doing with this page right here, but I don't think I could keep it updated regularly enough to make it worth while. Hell, while looking around my old room in my folks place, I found my old diary. It had maybe 12 entries spanning just about that many years, most of them around the Cleveland Youth Wind Symphony's European tour (aka. the End of the World tour). ~Closing Time (man I miss that song)~ gotta go! ~5 hours later at home~ Train of thaught off track, the CYWS tour, ah those were some really cool days, I'm gonna have to see if I can scan some pictures from there onto this site: One with me w/ riot police, 1 with me and a few Italian military guys, and me jumping of a freaking big cliff! The rest of the diary had nothing else but a few scattered one during episodes of relatives' deaths or women troubles, which as noted earlier don't come around very often thanksfully. But back to the point, I'd never use it, then again maybe I would. Writing seems to be one of those, hmmm... for lack a better word: signals that my mind is actually working, not just skidding along from one day to another, something I have slowly realized that I've been doing for some years now. Who knows, maybe that, combined with my rejoining the Tea Kwan Do class (or at leaste club) will get my blood flowing for the first time in ages and I can get something creative done here! Stranger things have happened, a_ankrom having a baby, or even better, me being the birth coach! Oh god, why did I have to remember THAT!
Oh geeze, not another five month span of nothing! Sorry, but we have no bannas today, just more of Joe's pointless ramblings. For the few fans that actually show up to read stuff, I now have my computer with full (albeit slow) internet capability so once I get off all these other games (Xenogears, Metal Gear 2, Final Fantasy 5 & 6) and give up trying to make a copy of Zoo Tycoon with no tools (it's a $15 game anyway) I think I'll go back to writing stories and making this more of a disgrace to the information superhighway than the typical bored person's web page. Yes nothing is sacred, not even cows! Sorry to tell ya' that Chris, but we're having fresh hamburger soon! I can smell the fat boiling now....er no, wait, that's the cook sitting on the grill again. Hold off on the burgers, we have to decontaminate the grill first. That's okay, I've got taxes and FAFSA's and other happy crappy to wade through first. Danm, this page suddenly got really low on the priority list. So THAT's why nothing ever gets done! On the bright side of life (no brittish singing please, I don't care how big a Monty Pythin fan you are) this is Spring Break (in 2 days that is, but why not start early? Test?! what test??) My folks are outta town (like it matters now that I don't live at home anyway, but I do get to take care of good ol' Voot and realize how much I miss him), and I am going to enjoy this week even if it kills me! Want to know how desparate I am to enjoy myself? I am throughing all caution into the wind, well, for me at leaste. I'm slowly learning that in most cases, I am a certified nut-bat: I will throw my body into a wall just to make sure I'm awake, but damn am I a freakin' chicken in many others! Example? Wait until tomarrow, it's 2 am and I've got a test in 7 hours. Ah what the heck, today I asked a girl out for like the 2nd time in five year. This isn't the same person twice, but two TOTAL in a damn lonely span of half a decade. Maybe some of them are right, I DO have to get out more, make friends more than just in classes... yeah right, these are the same people whocouldn't make a thaught for themselves if they had to! But seriously folks, I'm falling asleep at the keyboard (might help if I turned off the "Moonlight Sonata" midi off...) and sense neopets.com ain't working (thank god, now THAT is a time sucking black hole!) I'll actually have time on my hands. So if you don't hear from me tomarrow, yell at me, simple as that.
Man, I really REALLY have to stop doing this! Not even an updates update for eight whole freakin months! Looking back on previous entries, the last serious thing I did with this was 7/25/00. Goddamnit, that was well over a year ago! Am I getting lazy? Have I forgotten what the web site is really supposed to be all about? Do I really need my home computer saying that I'm spending well over half my waking hours wasting time at school, usually in the computer stations in the library? Or should I just keep typing for the next 2 hours until my next job starts? The answers: Hell yeeah, I don't rember, probably not though it would be helpful, and another "Hell yeah"! That's right, I'm finaly getting off the pointless surfing and going to do something that doesn't involve spending my last $3 (that I plan to use for dinner tonight anyway) in the game room (the only working machine is "Gauntlet: Dark Legacy" so I'd be kinda bored there anyway) and I'm going to work on this poor, neglected corner of the web. It might not be much, but at leaste I'm DOING something, and maybe this will motivate me to write more of my story, maybe this will get me off my duff and get some motivation in me, the kind I need to study for all these tests I keep going into unprepared (yet I'm still passing with a 2.69 GPA, and it really is 2.69!), hell, I might even get myself moving enough to drag my girlfriend out of her house to do something I want to do! Then again, I spend it all sleeping, something I have been doing less and less of as of late... I also can't work on the story because my computer is still over my folk's house and I moved out (in with my brother. yeah yeah go ahead and say it: "Ooooo... big step up!" :p *sounding sarcastic*) about a week before the school year started up again. But getting back to the point at hand: As soon as I finish blabbering on this page, I'm off to make some long needed additions to the time waste section: a few jokes and stories that I still have floating in my mail box as well as a new site or two for the black hole. That said, I'm gone!
I also have to fix the counter on the front page sence Geocities killed it!
No update today, I just want to let all of my fans (I think there's three of you now) know that I have not fallen off of the face the Earth, but some days I feel like it. Truthfully, I haven't done a damn thing with this site or any related materials in the last four months, though I have accumulated quite a mess of e-mail jokes & stories and schtuff like that, but none of it is organized into groups or even html readied. I am still commited to this page! And once (translation: IF) I get all my work done for my three (yes THREE) writing classes I recklessly enrolled in this semester, I've got all the creativity and anger and all that happy-crappy from what will soon be half a year and just completely let loose on the once safe haven that is the internet! So hang in there, O' loyal followers of moo, and I will reward your benevelence (alright, that is way too many big words) with plenty of room left over for dessert! ...which will also be served once the damn cook recovers from breathing in the toxic fumes that eminated from his last "creation"... *burp*
Well that was surely fun! While in the middle of my last update, my monitor decided to take a shit on me, AGAIN! I was able to get the midis uploaded, but while I was trying to write them into the actual site, everything turned red! Sound still worked, the good ol' "Ctrl, Alt, Delete" reboot worked, but everything was still RED! It's still under waranty, so we had to take it back to Best Buy, where they tried to hook it up to a computer there to see what's wrong, and the damn thing didn't even turn on! The really bad part is that this isn't the first time this happrned! The damn thing's barely two years old, and we're on our THIRD monitor! It ain't from overuse (it gets turned on about once a week), we've had older (good ol' Tandy 1000) models last for years (the Tandy still works like a charm), so it's not that we don't know how to keep one, it's just shitty workman ship! Why do I bother telling you all this? First, because this isn't just for updates anymore: if I've got a bone to pick and need to write out my frustration, this is where it's going! Not that I haven't been ranting on this page before... Secondly, I really do have an excuse for not doing anything over the last month and a half. So I'm again going to try to add links to my musics, but I'm not going to promise anything...
Dang, another near month-long drought of no updates! Where does the time go? Ans: Job, room, preparing for a new year at "Computer Nightmare University", and other time sucking projects. Well, I write this before I actually get to work on the site, but I'm sure I'll get something done, maybe. On the books to be done is a) more entries into the time waste section (duh) and I uploaded my happy little midi's that I composed for school assignments! Keep yer friggin' WORD processors, give me MUSIC processors! HAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!! moo
WOW! I seemed to have been gone a while, nearly a month! Well, not much new (surprise surprise), just finally getting around to adding some new entries to the waste section (Happy Chris?). And a new chapter in the FF7 story, but I must warn you, it is by all means a horrible joke! This thing is a farce and is meant to be so.....
What's this? TWO updates in one month? WOW! As you can already tell, I have finally figured out how to change text colors (mainly by looking at the sourse pages of other sites...)! Now I can hide my links! Hey, cann't a guy have some fun?
I know I haven't touched the front page in months and I haven't added any new pics sense (I think) November, but I have been working on other things. That's all for now.Actually added a chapter to the FF7.2 story. I have a printed copy of the Barney story, but I'm having 2nd thought about adding it to this already time sucking thing. It's not that great, and is just tedious at times... Elsewhere: Geocities came up with some wierd new counter system, this one counts each page and 'hits per visit'. What that means I ain't got a clue, but I may completely reset the main page counter, or remove it, or just leave it alone and ignore this new system all together.
Opened up story section, though it realy isn't worth presenting yet. Those of you who have seen the FF7.2 story before will be dissapointed, but hopefully this will light a fire under my ass to get working on it. Added multiple links to Black hole part, and I just add new entries to the time waste section whenever I get a worthy addition. Never really paid much attention to when or make a note, but if I get a good one, I'll usually post it that day. And even though I said it before: I NEED FEEDBACK! And as I usually do, I'm finding that I'm yet again getting so caught up in the details that I lost sight of the whole picture. I'm working on it, really!
Okay, so the counters over 100 and I've still not done anything. I'm working on it! Finals week just ended a few days ago and my free time just quadrupled. While that is usually a good thing, just remember that one hundred times zero is still zero!
Lots'a behind the scenes work. Will probably do a whole makeover when the counter hits 100.
Finally organized the time waste portion a little better and the staff section is completely reopened! Not bad for a week eh?
First off, yes I have been doing stuff sence my little mental breakdown during finals week, just not very much. The replacement for the staff section has begun, and includes more than just a memoir for the bunny this time. I'm adding things to the time wasting stories all the time so check it and there may be something new, usually near the bottom, but as of now, the little Peanuts thing will remain as the final entry, so check right before it to find anyting new. Still don't have any new pictures, so stop asking me! And I think I like this new color scheme for the front page. I am writing this update before I actualy get to modifing anything, so there may be more to report, I just wanted to get this out of the way before I forget about it or run out of time (hey, YOU try making a web page between clases and see how much you get done!)
I would just like to let everyone know that my head is now officially fried! While sanity was never one of my strong points, it seems to be fleeing faster than an overweight cheerleader from a diet. Did I actually do anything to the pages? Not really, added a little bit of new stuff to the bottom of the time wasting stories and alt tags to the pic gallery, but mostly I just wanted to let all of those sleepless work horses that stay up way too late then have to get up well before the sun does: I feel your pain. It's been said before, but I really feel you pain.
Well, it's officially Finals week, and everyone I know has either blown up or just doesn't care any more. I think I fit better into the later, that's why I'm so slow on this, but I am making some progress, nothing worthy of mention yet however...
Ya' know, that color scheme isn't all that bad... Maybe it is? But new stuff: Began "Black Holes of the Web" section, and, oh yes, it's here! The first few chapters (though many parts are under renovation) of Final Fantasy 7.2 has been uploaded! While it is not accessable through the main page yet (I wannt to spruce it up a little before I do) you can see it here. Comments are welcomed with open arms! Please, I live in a house where nobody reads, I COULD USE SOME FEEDBACK! (Link removed 5/23/99)
got a letter from a freind, she siad that my grey background is dull... Said it rather blatently too. Well, I'll show her! Red background, Green letters, you want color, I'll give you colors! Don't make me use the tag on you!
Must erase these changes soon...I just love that date "111999". What's new this time? Different pictures mostly, a few other thing not really worthy of note, but that's how these things are.
Okay, so I've been really lax on getting this thing running, as I've said earlier, this is NOT among my highest prioritie. I have finally gotten my hands on some picture to post, but it they seem to be a little large (area wise not size). They're up anyway under the Fuzz file, wich I know is horribly incomplete but time is not a thing I have very much of; it'll get there. Also, I have started on my section of "places to go and things to do when you have way too much time on the web". Just quotes and storiers I got from various E-mails, but more to come, eventually...
I have decided that spelling changes and other minor mantience work will not be added to this list, so if you came through geocities and it says "Updated today" and this page dosen't say so, nothing new will be found. Unless that is I was just too lazy to make an entry...Signed onto Geocities out of curiosity and actually made a home page accidentally.
