Lately I have become more and more interested in Country Music. Most people out there are saying "yuck" but for some reason I like it. One of the artists I have grown to like the most is Shania Twain... and not only for her looks, though that helps. I really like her kind of music and her voice. I might get some sound clips of hers up sometime soon. Anyway I added a pic of her at the bottom of the page. I think I will link that to her official home page at a later date as well.
Not much is happening today, it is rather dull. I have more screenshots to put up and I also have to finish the links page which I did start. I am not sure when I will get that stuff done. Hopefully soon but I can't be sure. Lately I have been messing with a new terran strat and it works pretty well... depending on who you are playing. If I have the time I might post it here as well. If something interesting happens I will let you know.

Well I had a little time so I did put up a review of The Trueman Show. But be warned it is my first real review of a movie so it may be a little rough around the edges. If you have any suggestions or comments mail me and I will get back to you as soon as possible. I appreciate all input and I am open minded enough to learn from other people's suggestions.
Well today I have some unscheduled time off due to the crappy wheather we are having. Since I work for a boat chartering company charters often get cancelled because people generally don't like boating in the rain. In light of this news I may be able to get some work done on the reviews and links pages. We shall see
Friday, June 26
Well I finally moved a lot of the June messages to the old news page. As I did this I noticed the page was a little crowded so I proceeded to make a new page for the old news for May. The link to this new page can be found at the bottom of the Old News Page. Whew I sure did a lot of work on the page today:)
Speaking of work on the page I don't think I will get the reviews up tonight but I might be able to tackle that when my up and coming time off arrives. Hope you find it a little easier to navigate now. Notice I use the work "Navigate" not "Explore" that is because Netscape is better than Microsof... at least as far as browsers are concerned
I just finished putting up a whole crapload of new screenshots for you to check out. There are some pretty good ones included. Took me quite a while to do so I hope you like em. I am up to date now but as soon as I play some more games I will add some more!
Well I have some time on my hands right now so if no one shows up to play SC I should get a few more up. I also may update my reviews page and get a start on the links page but I doubt that will happen tonight. We'll see how things go.
Well this week coming I have like four days off of work so I might actually have time to have a little fun in the summer. Isn't that what summer is for? Well I certainly hope to do something in that time. It will be nice that is for sure.

Well I got the e-mail link up like I said and I hope it works fine. Also when I preview my page through geocities I see some errors on the page but when I load it up seperately it looks fine and everything works so if you are having problems with links or something looks funny please let me know. It is possible that I have made an html error and my browser is smart enough to know it is wrong and doesn't display it. Thanks for any feedback.
Well I just finished reading my regulars web pages for the day (I will get a links section up soon linking to them) and I decided to check my page to see if I got any hits before I went to bed. To my great surprise I found I hade at least 5 hits that weren't generated from my reloading the page (someone else reloading maybe:) so that is great. Thanks for visiting my page guys.
On another note I thought I had a link to my e-mail addy on the page but I guess I was wrong. I will get that up asap so you guys can mail me with your comments. Sorry about that I really thought it was there:)
Tuesday, June 23
Well as you can see I got the counter up and I am noticing not many people come to my page which, of course, I expected. The page is mainly for something to keep me occupied and to help me learn html anyway. Someday I might even get a few visitors.
I do have more screenshots to put up, like I said before, so I will try and make that my next project and get it done fairly soon. I think the page looks pretty nice myself. I will also be moving a lot of this junk to the old news page soon so this page isn't quite so cluttered. Sorry for any inconvenience.
Well first off I won another 2 on 1 today when my partner had to leave. I used a strat made up by one of my friends to do it for zerg. It involves expanding so early it isn't funny so I got the ball rolling. It all depends on if you get attacked fast or not if you can win with this strat. I knew that zerg D sucks so I might as well go all or nothing and fortunatly it worked out and I won in the end though I did get hit with many annoying reaver drops...
Well my site is now up in a few of the search engines that are automatic updates but it still has a long time to go for the other ones where the site is reviewed first.
Gotta work tonight so I don't know if I will have much time to update after this... we shall see won't we?
I am still in search of a good counter I will be checking around for that and I might do that now before I go to supper. I am not sure if I have time or not. If you have suggestions feel free to send them in.
Sunday, June 20
I am working a minimum of 8 hours tomorrow and quite a bit all through the next week and maybe longer so I do not know how frequent the updates will be. There are lots of things I would like to get done on this page. Oh well the turtle always wins the race... or at least I would like to think so. I am also looking for a good counter to put on my page cause GeoCities' counters are so whacked it isn't funny. I hope to find one soon but the results may be depressing:)
Well I won a 2 on 1 today in StarCraft after my friend dropped right at the beginning. I didn't think I could do it for the first little while because all my peons got taken out but I managed to use shield batteries to my advantage to make good use of what troops I had. After that since I had way more gas than minerals I went for templars and archons which worked well and it was pretty much down hill for them from there. They were fairly new I think so it isn't anything to get really excited about. But it is still pretty good.
Well I finally got my page indexed in most of the major search engines so it should start appearing in most of them within the next week so hopefully I will get a little more trafic due to this. We shall see. If you know of a place that indexes in many engines for free give me an e-mail I would be grateful. All the ones I visited costed like 10 bucks or more...
Well the hair cut went well and I think it looks pretty good along with the rest of my family. I have had some outside opinions most of which have been good as well. I have even had a couple of hot girls tell me it looks good without asking so that's always a good sign:) It does, however, make me look totally different. I know look older and my dad says I look taller. I love the no mess and no agrivation part of it and to top it all off it goes well with my new clothes:) This is all IMHO of course.
Tuesday, June 16
Well I am finally going to be able to get my hair cut on Friday. The hair place was booked solid until then. I am getting all my hair cut off which I have had for 3 years or so now. It is time for a change plus my hair now is too long, gets messed easy, is a pain, isn't the greatest looking, and requires a lot of care. So why bother? Well that is what I asked myself and I didn't come up with a good reason so I am going short. I hope it looks good but if it does or not it is going to be a lot easier on me. Which is worth it in the long run. I can't wait!
Well I have some more screenshots to put up (mostly of stats) and a few stories to add but other than that not much going on. Only played one game today which was a min ago and I kicked butt but the opponents weren't too hot. At least one wasn't. Was only a 15 min game so it wasn't that fun. Anyway I hope to expand the info on this page soon but it is too time consuming. I am also still planning on researching java and cgi, I might even get a counter that works sometime soon.
Today I worked for a few hours (unscheduled) so I wasn't too pleased when I got called while sleeping being told I had to go to work. Anyway after work I went on a shopping spree. I am changing my style completly but it was more because of the fact that I had no wearable clothes. They were all ugly, too small, hand-me-downs or had some other defect so I threw out like 200 pounds of clothes and I bought tons more today. I got pants, shorts, shirts, socks, boxers and everything else in many different forms. I have to return a few things but other than that I am all set.
Monday, June 15
Well I got the screenshots page done with 12 screenshots on it so far with more to come. I just don't have time to convert all the files tonight and do everything else that needs to be done. I should have the link to the page up tonight so go ahead and check it out.
Just before supper today I played an awesome game. It started as a 2on2 but my friend had to leave because of a thunderstorm right after it started. He didn't even get the chance to attack. Anyway I ended up taking out the zerg (who got to Hive like LIGHTNING) but because of his quick upgrades he only had a few guardians. I took 12 zealots in and took out peons then started beating on his Hive while he killed me. I got it down to 600. After that I send in some more z's and goons while sending a shuttle with two reavers around the back. I didn't care about the front attack... just a distraction. I killed the hive and the rest of the peons with the reavers before they died so he was basically out. After that the other guy, who was protoss as well, and I battled it out but I had more resources and I kept psi storming his peons so I eventually got him. It was a really good game. I have the stats but I won't get them up for a while I don't think.
On Saturday I worked for 10 hours and the whole day I had time to do nothing but work, get ready for work, make some food, and do chores so it was a pretty long day. On the up side in two days I made $65 dollars. That isn't that much but it sure is better than nothing. I have today and tomorrow off and I go back on Wednesday all the way till Sunday. I'm making the big bucks now! :)
Well as I said I did get the page started but it is nowhere near finished. I am trying to put the page in table format which I am not all that used to so it is taking me a while to get it to look as I would like it. It won't be perfect but it should be presentable. I have some new SRs(screenshots) but they will probably not be put up for a little while.

This game is looking better and better each day. If you do not know what Everquest is go to EverQuest.com for more details. If you have a cable modem or t1 I suggest getting the new movie they have out (you need some sort of movie player) which ROCKS. It shows you exactly what the game is like and can you ever see the improvements they have made. Check it out...
I was all set to get my disk with the picture on it and I had plenty of oppertunity but I forgot to ask. I was so excited about school being over it clouded my mind so I totally forgot. I hopefully can get it when I go to pick up my home report in a week or so... hopefully.
I have some time on my hands right now while I wait for someone to play SC with so I think I will upload some of those screen shots. I do not know if I will have a link to the page up tonight but I will be working on it. I am not sure how I will format it because without java or cgi it is hard to do anything fancy. Basic html only goes so far...
This movie was awesome!! You simply have to see it. You are all thinking... another dumb comedy by Jim Carey... same old same old. Well it isn't. There are funny parts but it definitely is not a comedy and the story is awesome. There is not a lot of "action" but the plot makes up for it and it is totally original. If you let yourself get into and are the kind of person who catches on to things easy you will love it. If you miss some of the jokes or don't get what's going on to way late in the movie it may ruin it for you. This is a must see movie and if I put up a review it will surely have a 10!! I love it!! GO SEE IT!!
Well they are finally over and I am a FREE MAN well except for work. Speaking of which I am working for 8 hours tomorrow or something like that. Should be great fun...:) Anyway back to exams... Keyboarding didn't go quite as well as I had hoped but I did ok and I found out my final mark in math and it was a 99% so I couldn't have gotten much more than the first question wrong like I said. I am happy about that. I didn't find out any of my other marks but I hope to do so sometime soon
Not much more to say... we lost in game 6 with the series at 3-2 with a 6-1 loss. I heard it was a sad game but we did well to even make it this far so I am not dissapointed. Hopefully next year we will go all the way.

You may have been wondering where the gaming info on this gaming page was eh? Well here is some anyway. I have been playing a lot of SC and I finally found the time to sort through some old screen shots. I found some pretty good ones and I am going to make a page and put them up for you so you can have a look. They aren't anything spectacular but I am sure you will get a kick out of some of them. Look for that in the next week or sooner
Speaking of StarCraft... tomorrow after our final exam me and some guys are gonna stay at school all afternoon and have an SC marathon. That's right we play SC at school in the comp lab. It should be fun. Hey we could be out partying and getting drunk but yet we play video games. Who said video games weren't good for you:) I'll fill you in on how much I kick butt later.
Well things were looking good to start off with because we managed to pull off a win away and we had the next 3 games at home. Like I said we lost game 3 (the one I went to) just barely and it almost seemed we should have won. The next one I guess we lost by like 2 goals (the one my dad went to). That made the series 3-1 and things were looking grim. For the final home game the Flames wanted to show that they weren't going down easy and on Sunday night they posted a 6-1 butt kicking over the Phantoms making the series 2-3 heading for Phily. Anyway we do have a slight chance. It was funny in the final game by the second quarter we were already up 4-0. The game was over before it started.
Some of you may be wondering why I am not studying. Well there are a few reasons. The exam I have tomorrow is Keyboarding/Computer Applications so for one I am practicing my typing by doing this. Even though typing won't be a major factor on the exam. I also have studied some already and have some time to do some more when I finish up here. The thing is that it is mostly hands on work so there isn't much theory to go over. I probably should be studying so I will speed this along.
Well I have written three of my four exams to date with the next one being tomorrow morning. French is my worst subject and I took it first, on Monday, and I did well in comparison to my avg in that course so far... but not in comparison to my other courses. I don't know for sure but I think I may have gotten an 85% or higher.
I wrote my Math 120 Advanced exam on Tuesday and I think I only got one question wrong on it and it was question # ONE!! The easiest question on the exam I just forgot to do one stupid thing. I saw someone else's exam as I was passing mine in so that is how I know I got it wrong. You know if I had made 100% on the exam I would have gotten 100% in the course cause I have a 99.something% in the course right now. Ah well what I have is definitely good enough.
I wrote Physics today and the results on that are kind of iffy. I can see myself getting a 95% but I can also see myself with as low as an 80% so I don't really know. It depends on if things were going my way or not. It was a good exam though I wrote it quite well.
Friday, June 5
That's right today was my last day of school and I didn't jig:) The classes where about half full and it was a good time because we did no work and just basically partied. It was a good year and now I am all done except for exams next week... yuck!! Ah well you gotta take the good with the bad. I'll be really excited when exams are over:) Beleive me you'll know.
The game I went to Wednesday night ended up in a loss for the Flames :( The series is now 1-2 in favor of the Philedalphia (sp?) Phantoms. It was too bad because we were winning 3-2 with 3 mins left in the third and they scored. The game went into OT and we came out strong. We had like 5 shots in a minute but the goalie stopped em all and finally the other side got a shot in ending up in a heart breaker for Saint John Fans. It was a really good game though so I am not that dissapointed.
Game four is tonight. I am not going to it myself but my dad got an offer from a friend to go so he is going to be there. He will give me a play by play when he gets home so I will get the news up here sooner or later. Hopefully we will win this time to at least make the series interesting.
Well I am planning on putting a pic up of myself sometime soon. I have it saved on disk but I don't have the disk at home yet so I am hoping to get that soon. It is not the best pic in the world and I am not the best looking guy on the planet so I hope you like it:) It is from my drivers liscence but I will crop it so only the pic is showing. You think I want all you punks knowing where I live? Should be up by next week sometime.
As you can see I got the old news page up. When I get more months going I will have links to older months at the bottom. Hopefully I will continue updating that long. We shall see.
Tuesday, June 2
Yes beleive it or not I am going to add an old news page. I am not going to let this page go on and on forever. Scrolling that much just isn't any fun. That should be up after a few more posts when the page really gets too long. I hope to get some more sub pages up soon but we'll see. I think I am gonna go play SC now... so much for an early night. Well as they say "what can ya do?"
Well it is that time of year again... exam time. I hate this time of year but it doesn't bother me near as much when I think of what is to come after exams are over:) Summer!! Too bad I have to work. Anyway I have started to study a little and I will hopefully be ready for them next week. Physics is going to be a killer... there are way too many formulas. The others, except maybe French, shouldn't be too bad but there is always the possibility of underestimation. The reason I am writing this is cause I found some time... when I didn't think I had it. Just so you know what is at the top is the most recent:)
Well the flames, as I said, are in the finals and for the first two games they played away. The series is tied 1-1 and the next game is tomorrow, Wednesday, at home which I have the privelidge of going to see. It is sold out but my dad got ticket from a friend who has a friend who lives far away and couldn't make it. I'm telling ya my dad has connections. Anyway this should be a really good time and I am looking forward to it. I am going to play SC now. I do have more to add but I may not get to it until later... or tomorrow.
