2005

Okay so before I start this thing I just want to say that I’ve been working on something for the site, but I realize that what I want to do is far too complex, although I could do it, just not at this moment in time due to school starting in a few weeks.

Somehow I thought this list would be bigger. Oh well 2005 was overall an okay year, hopefully 2006 will be better.

So I survived a Christmas with the family. It’s weird, I never really considered Debbie (my mom’s friend I went to get) as family, even though she is my God-Mother. I guess it is easier now that she is actually around. Christmas was good though, I got a Buddah which I think is awesome. That is definitely a really great present, because the whole religion is based on philosophy on how how you live, and not so much how you worship.

I went to see Kelly yesterday, she had no idea I was coming. Her reaction when she saw me there was hilarious. I took her out to dinner and fell asleep in her car with her LOL. I don’t think I would have made it that three hour drive back to DE if I didn’t have that nap.

As for the website: I am going to take care of things offline for a bit before I add anything else, or work on anything in the daytime, at night I’ll be working on some things.

As a present to my loyal readers, I have added pictures to the albums, including a new album all together. All the pictures have me in them, don’t worry pictures of other people will be coming soon.

I got a nice little Christmas surprise from one of those pornstars, which was really unexpected and sweet.

I hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday. I probably won’t be posting until I get back from NY, so I hope everyone has a good one, when I come back I may have more pictures.

Last night I hung out with someone I met on myspace, her name is Danielle and we went to Ocean City for the Winterfest of Lights. Apparently it is the second largest light display in the US, the first being Disney World. After the light display we went to a bar that her friend manages and actually met a few people. It was cool, everyone in the bar is just this whole big conversation, not like bars in NJ. There was this one guy there, he said that he went to a therapist for his drinking and his therapist told him the reason he drinks is because he feels alone and lonely, so he joined a beer club and hasn’t felt alone since.

It was a great night just sitting around bullshitting with strangers. I was going to take pictures of the lights, but my batteries died when we got there, so it sucked. Hopefully Brett comes down next week so we can maybe go to a bar with Stephanie, or maybe I will need to make another trip to Ohio. It was nice getting out of the house, but it was so cold. My head wasn’t cold though, as I have hair on it which I’m not happy about. HAHA. I lost my clippers in the move, so I have a shaggy head until I find them, or buy new ones.

By the way, I’m still sorting through pictures and whatnot, I may delete some of the ones that are up, the really pixely, or noise enduced ones. It is 6:30 in the morning and I am up, because I have not slept yet. Plus I am sick.

Alright I know I have been saying about new sections for a while now and I haven’t been delivering. Well now here is a new section. The pictures section is photography I’ve done, pictures of friends or me, and of course pictures of places I’ve been. Now there are three incomplete sections, so don’t be emailing me about how I excluded you, the truth is I wanted to get it up, and honestly I’m hungry right now and will add more pictures later tonite. I need to go through tons of photos in tons of folders to find the ones I want uploaded. Sit tight.

So when my mother asked me what I wanted for Christmas I told her I didn’t know. I originaly wanted another monitor, but when I went into the only store down here, the guy was uneducated and I didn’t feel safe buying a Dell monitor from him. If I wanted a Dell monitor I could probably get it cheaper from Dell. So I asked her for the Nintendo GameCube. I am probably going to trade it in for a Revolution when it comes out, rumor is it will only be around 99 dollars. Because we won’t be here for Christmas, my mother gave it to me today. It came with three controllers, Sonic Adventure, Resident Evil, and Mario Party 7. As soon as I saw Resident Evil, I knew I had to have it. I’ve been yearning to get it for years actually, if for no reason except to play Resident Evil.

There’s also a few other games I’d like to check out for it too. The problem with owning all three systems, is the fact that you must decide which games to buy for which system. The main reason I got my XBox was so I could go on XBox live, which has really been worth the money. I have been able to promote my site, while pwning noobs at the same time. LOL.

I registered for classes a few days ago, I am taking an accounting class, Windows Operating Systems class, another operating systems class, and a Visual Basic. That’s 16 credits, plus another 3 that I have tested out of will be given to me at the end of the semester. So that will be 19 credits more by May. I also am taking the exemption test for the Windows class, which is good because it overlaps my Visual Basic class. If I can test out of the Windows class, I may take a graphics arts class, or just some class that I find interesting. That would bring me up to 23 credits. I have 25 credits now. That would give me a total of 48 credits. Then maybe I could transfer to Wilmington College or University of Delaware or maybe I could go to California like I always wanted. Anyway, let’s hope this semester doesn’t kill me. Did I forget to mention that on top of all this school work I also need to find a job? Oh yes I can see what little social life I may have dwindling faster and faster.

[Edit]Just played a level 50 on Halo 2 and they weren’t that great, only 2 kills more than me.[/Edit]

Okay so after a brief period of downtime, the blog and forum are back up and running. I tried to do something with the database that just messed everything up. Now everything should be running smoothly.

We’re going to my mom’s friend’s (my aunt’s) house for Christmas. We should be going there on the 23rd and coming back on the 26 or 27th. I’m bringing my laptop so I can post, I should be able to steal someone’s bandwidth while I’m up there.

As soon as I can find a good image gallery I will put one up. I have some pictures you guys should see. I tried making one, but it is too much of a pain in the ass, and if I can make it so your forum ID’s and passwords work with it, that will do just fine.

Lately I have been in contact with a few pornstars, I am even on call in case a webmaster needs help with a site. When I first started talking to them, I thought they’d be more uptight and I’m famous don’t look at me. It is weird, however, because a few of them don’t mind signing autographs and doing the publicity most mainstream stars do. What really surprised me was that one of the pornstars was a web geek. She has an XBox 360, and loved Nintendo. Now I know the porn business isn’t all having sex, I know there’s real work involved, especially for the guys, but it really just shocked me that they’d be willing to talk and all that. Some of you may be saying yeah, right, how could you start talking to pornstars, or how do you know its really them, but I must say that my proof it is them is undeniable.

I won’t give out information on who they are, how to get in contact, or what they have starred in, or what site I was called in to do work on. I will tell you this however, one of them in particular seemed to enjoy my site, and to me that’s worth more than 100 people who hate it, not because she’s famous, but because she took the time to bookmark it.

I changed the forum icons to better fit the description of what they are used for. I have an update to my about me page and some other stuff I am still working on. I have to really get my ass in gear. The forum has been updated to the newest release also.

I went and am now a student at Delaware Technical and Community College, tomorrow I need to call my high school district and my previous college and get the transcripts sent, meanwhile I have to use the unnofficial transcript and contact my scholarship source. Besides that nothing really been going on, I’ll try and get some of this stuff done before college starts.

My 25″ monitor was out of focus, so I opened it to adjust the focus, but I somehow messed it up and it is now fuzzy and has no red color. So I switched my monitors, that is now just for my playlist. My monitor now is a little out of focus I think, but I don’t feel like messing with it. I could always hook up my television to my computer, all I would need is an S-video out cable. As much as I hate to say it though, it looks like I’ll be investing in a monitor soon.

There was an accident on Route 1 today, a car swerved in front of another car and got hit. I stopped to help, along with a bunch of other people, we still had towels and stuff in my momther’s car (since mine isn’t registered) so that helped them out a lot.

It’s hard this time of year, I don’t even feel like celebrating the holidays, first year without my grandmother, and I just feel like giving up. Usually we’d have a tree up by now, I mean it seems that she was the one who drove us to decorate. It was her favorite holiday. A few years back she was in the hospital around Christmas and she got out of the hospital on December 23rd. Up until then there weren’t any Christmas decorations up, but I decorated the whole house that day.

I’ve been acting weird with this whole holiday stuff, saying stuff I shouldn’t say to people, and not saying stuff to other people. To everyone who I’ve hurt in the last few days I’m sorry, I know I can’t make up for what I did, but I hope someday we can get passed it.

Do you ever say to yourself that you love your car? You take it to the car wash, buy it rims, change its oil every 3000 miles, but what happens when it breaks down? You suddenly go from loving it to hating it. You yell at it and possibly smack it. You’ve gone from loving this machine to hating it. If it was love, then you could only be mad at it and not hate it. How can you love something that doesn’t have the potential to love you back? It is just a machine that you choose what it is.

WHat I mean is that it can be a car, a vehicle that takes you from point A to point B, but what if on your way to point B someone cuts you off? Well then you could possibly get angry, and drive around and cut him off, you then turn your car into a weapon. What if you get evicted from your house? You have no where to go, so you stay in your car. Your vehicle is now your home. So you see you decide what you use things for, you decide how you use it.

Spiderman is driven by one simple phrase: with great power comes great responsibility. It is each his or her own responsibility for how they act, and how they use their possessions. If you can say I love you to your car, but not to your children, then something is wrong there, and it is your responsibility to rectify the situation. Remember that you can’t love things that don’t have the potential to love you back.

So I suppose my insomnia is back, seeing as how it is 4:38 AM and I am still awake. I just did another coat of black paint on my bed and I set up the main configuration of my office, but I haven’t brought in my desktop from my car yet. I want to wait until all my furniture is painted, but my mother is bugging me to set hers up so I would need to find my desktop and install it and set up the printers and all that jazz, something I don’t feel like doing. At least after my bed is finished I only need to paint my dresser and the tv stand. I am still contemplating my need for a television in my office, I think I do need one seeing as how I’ll be spending most my days in here working on school work and other stuff, plus it will be the room with the router so I would need it for my Xbox Live.

Speaking of XBox, I have been hearing a lot of complaints of the 360 keeps overheating. I guess it is good I didn’t buy it, but I will try and save my mooney for the PS3. Sony has never dissappointed me in the console world, and I wish to get Nintendo Revolution too, when that too comes out. As for the 360, I’ll wait until the overheating is resolved.
