"You gotta have ordinary days to do extraordinary things."
I was robbed. Again. Twice in one month? COME ON!
This time it was the storage unit where I basically put everything I had left. They didn't take it all, but they might as well have. Every single dvd I owned pretty much is gone, the few games I had left, every single music cd I owned, my PC games, my old keyboard, my digital recorder, my monitor speakers, my techno machines, every single personal belonging I ever owned is now gone (jewelry, sentimental stuff, keepsakes, etc. etc. ETC!)... I seriously have nothing left worth a damn. It doesn't bother me much though. It should, but it doesn't. Fuck the people that took it, whoever or whatever they may be. Still, there's nothing I can do about it and I feel glad that they haven't stolen my willpower, strength or heart. That shit stays with me.
On a lighter note, the guestbook on the site got hacked. I fixed it though. So everyone that posted, please post again because I lost 'em all. Oh, and I guess the Other section is up now too, and the Downloads page in the Extras section. Isn't much there at the moment, but y'know. Still.

"Oh, for the love of Hanson!"
I'd like to say that I've been busy, but I haven't.
The Archive and Videos pages are all up now. That Archive took for bloody ever... I never wanna see it again. It looks good though. I'll try to get to work on the Other section soon. It should be an easy one.
So my brother found a guitar for me. His uncle recently died and he was a bit of a junk collector I'm told. Among this junk was an acoustic guitar. Alvarez model 5014. It was a pile of ass. I put the tuning keys from the Les Paul on it, the bridge pins from my old acoustic, and bought a brand new nut for it ('cause I busted the old one... Heh. I busted the guitar's nut.), then adjusted the truss rod and bridge. Also it was covered in dirt so I got rid of that, and it stank like ass so my mom was kind enough to hose it down with disinfectant or something. The inside still smells bad though. I need some Febreeze... It's playable now though. It almost hurts to look at the thing.
That's really about it. Moved all of my stuff (except for my computer) to a storage unit and basically I'm just waiting until my next check comes in (around the first week of March) before I move out. It's already the 12th of February so with any luck the rest of the time will just fly by. I'll probably just keep working on the site for most of it though. Maybe I can get it all done before I move? That'd be sweet.

"What time is it?"
So clearly I've had to completely redesign the site again.
This time it's a little simpler. No background image, no fancy stuff. Just plain and fast basically. I got tired of the old design slowing everything down and there were also some forseeable problems with pages that would've ended up being difficult to overcome in the future. This new design is a lot easier to manage, I must say.
The navigation, the banner/mp3 player, and the message at the very bottom of every page are infact their own separate pages. I opted to use an all CSS layout with no tables for extra speed and I did NOT use frames anywhere. I wanted to... But I didn't. Learning CSS is a bitch compared to HTML I gotta say. Seems worth it though. I really like how it's working out anyway.
WARNING: The only link that works at this particular moment is the link to the Guestbook. It should work fine. I'll get to work on the rest of the site soon. It's taken me a long time just to get the site functional up to this point. So bear with me and don't click anything. It most likely won't work yet.
Lataz.
