Let me first bring your attention to the fact that this webpage which I run has no affiliation with Russell Crowe or the Beatles in any way except for the fact that I am obsessed with them both! Not crazy obsessed....I dont want to have their babies or anything like that, but I appriciate and love them and all they have done in their lives. I look at their lives and it helps me to get through mine. Five very great men are featured on this fanpage, men who have shaped and formed their life into what they want it to be. I have a great respect and admiration for them all.
On June 10 when I decided to build a webpage, I really had little knowledge of html, but I figured I'd learn as I went along, and I have. Not to the extent I wish, but I'm getting there. I've spent many a frustrated night working as hard as I could to build this page into what I wanted it to be, and often I wondered if it was worth all the trouble I was going through. Every time I looked at Russell or the Beatles, or heard their music or watched their movies, I knew it was worth it. I had to pay tribute to these great men some how. Thankfully, people DO come to my page and I know that it was all worth it.
This is a living, breathing webpage. That means I update it every day, and I am always working on projects for it. I have over 400 pics right now sitting on my hard drive just waiting to be uploaded and posted. This can grow quite frustrating for me when I know that these pictures need to be seen by everyone and they are doing me no good just sitting there. But, as we all know, life can be quite busy. I am in school right now which offers an even heavier burden on my time, sadly enough. Even though my life has been so busy lately, I'm trying to keep up with everything. I have learned though, in my limited years, that patience is a virtue, and I remind myself every day of that.
This year has been, and will continue to be, quite a busy year as well, what with Gladiator, Austin, Ringo's 60th b-day, the anniversary of John Lennon's death, the release of Proof of Life (Which is supposedly due to be released on the anniversary of John's death, December 8), the news of Paul McCartney's new single, and on and on....including, but not limited to, the many rumors circulating about a number of things related to Russell... I just really hope i can keep up with it all....but what can I say? I LOVE this webpage, and I LOVE these men, and I LOVE all the people who visit my page.
Now, some people have asked me why I dont have a page about myself, but there is no room or time for me in this enormous project I am working on!! I feel it to be an honor and a duty to spread the love of the Beatles and Russell. =) If you really want to know about me, just email me and I'll send you an extended history of myself, including baby pictures...I have as many of those as I do Russell pics! =) For those of you who DO know me, and want some of my baby pics, drop me a line =)
Ok, now is the time that I really need to give credit where credit is due. This page is not all that great, it is not all that magnificent, and I am sure you all know that, but what is here wouldnt be without some much appriciated help. First I would like to thank those friends of mine who have made my Russell pic and sound library as extended as it is. I also have to thank those friends of mine who have so welcomed me into this Crazy World of Russell we have here on the internet, the ones who have offered their time and have offered their friendship. I have to thank those of you who visit my page because it makes me feel so good when I see that counter every morning and realize that something I have done is being seen by so many people. Gosh I sound like I have won an Oscar or something!! Enough of that! Just everyone out there who have been such wonderful friends to me the past months, THANK YOU!!! I LOVE YOU ALL!!! This all reminds me of a certain song I have known and loved for as long as I can remember...With A Little Help From My Friends. The title is all I feel i have to say.
WHATS COMING SOON: Ok, I have TONS of ideas and TONS of things I am working on right now that take a little bit of time to do... Within the next few months, expect more Russell Images, multimedia, including HUNDREDS of more sounds, lots more Beatles pics, Russell Inspired Poetry, more magazine artiles, TOFOG lyrics, and if I can get my mind to start working I'll have more creative things added. Thanks for all of you who visit my page. I promice I'll never stop working on it =)
Thanks a bunch!!!
