i'd like to know about you.

What I Did This Week

In terms of the Web Page, I used this week to increase our exposure and, thusly, the number of people I can influence through my world-wide ramblings. I joined LinkExchange to help promote the site. Every time you load up the index page of this site and the link page, you are allowing us to be advertised on someone else's site! Visit the sponsors, they're allowing us to grow. I also re-entered this site in all search engines, although it will be a week or two before it shows up. I would like all of you to tell your friends about this site in an effort to increase the number of visitors to World of Fun.
I would like to apologize for last week's poor content, but I was very busy. It will never happen again!

The Story of How I Got This Way

For as long as anyone can remember, Paul Battaglia has been a pompous, spoiled brat. Paul's mother agrees, "My son is a brat and spoiled and it's a wonder he has any friends." Perhaps it all began back in his childhood days of selling his friends to strangers back in Brooklyn. It may have started back in his nursery school days of rationing the snack to his friends while hording the excess for himself. Perhaps it started during his fraudulent real estate dealings back in 4th grade.
In actuality, it started when he received his first J.Crew catalog during his high school days. "It was while in Regis that I realized my true calling," Battaglia recently recounted. Paul attended Manhattan's prestigious
Regis High School, a scholarship-only private school educating Catholic males. While there are a few misfits who do not embrace khakis, The Gap, J.Crew, & New York's Z-100, the majority of Regians love khakis, navy sportcoats, white shirts, and bar-stripe ties. During his Jesuit education, Paul realized how much more efficiently the world could run if he were in charge of it. While he tried to conquer the entire world, he failed, managing only to attract a small group of friends who overlooked his Napoleanic tendencies and saw deep inside him, to the little Yuppie crying to be freed. With the help of these friends, he was able to encourage the world's embracing of preppies. Through the school's newspaper, The Owl, Paul preached to the masses, made fun of those different from him, and changed the way Regis looked at the world. The necessary parallel to draw is that Regis was, in many respects, a microcosm. Paul changed Regis and is now preparing to change the entire world. You keep watching. It'll happen. "My high school friends are probably the best friends a guy could have," Battaglia added, "I don't know wht they don't kill me. I love you guys." See, he has a heart.

Things Paul Hates

This week I hate Calculus even more than I did last week! My midterm is on Monday 10 March, 1997 and instead of finishing up last minute studying, I am updating the old web page because it is more fun than integrals and derivatives and hyperbolic functions. I only hope I can remember it all.
I also hate pastels. Why on earth do designers use them? Just something to think about.
