Well, I guess I can't escape the evils of my page.. =) Nothing major has happend as of yet. I went otu to dinner with Lisa. It was very cool. I haven't seen her in... well, too long! It always seems to be that way with her and I. In any case, all good things.

And as such, I have updated the people page. The two new add-ee's are Lisa, and my sister. Enjoy!

Nothing much else is new. I mean, I guess there is lots of stuff that's going on with me, but it was left to my journal. Sorry guys!

As far as the site goes, I changed the front page the other day (I'm sure you noticed that), as well as the writing page. I've had lots to write about this week, so check that out if you have the time. I actually wrote something OTHER than poetry, so be careful!

Another FYI: I am headed out of here Thursday afternoon for Spring Break, and sometime during which I will find myself in Myrtle Beach. In any case, I'll be sure to have the pictures from that up ASAP! Just gimme some time to develop em!

Well, as the four of us (323, 324, 325 and 326 Vawter) rattle the building apart with incessant bass, I feel I should share this week's Algebra Lessons. They are, in no particular order:

1. studying + no sleep = bad grade
2. guitar + beer = good
3. beer + sleep = good
4. cold + class = bad
5. cold + snow = good

I guess there is an order to this. I have an odd feeling that I will somehow find a way to turn my simple algebra into a page of it's own. The first three came from my 31 hours awake from 8:30am Wednesday until 3:30pm Thursday. I lied. I know the beer ones came through after I woke up at 7pm on Thursday... =) And it is obviously snowing and cold today.

Other than the cold, and the snow, and me seeing things due to a lack of sleep, everything is now better. I do have two exams and a project due next week, and I'm trying to avoid taht burden, for today atleast. Other news.. nothing. My mind is still up in the air about certain issues (inquire within). And that's all for today folks!

Well, I'll start by saying Valentine's Day is a joke. I guess I used to like this day, but then I realized that, like so many other "holidays", it is only an evil ploy by Hallmark. So kudos to brainwashing and capitalism! Hehehe. I guess I would think today was better if I had a girlfriend, but no such luck.

Other new stuff: I am now a member of Clan Valhalla. It kicks unit. And today I assumed the position of OGL spokesperson, and signed Valhalla back onto the Open LMCTF Ladder on the OGL.

Last night was interesting. A friend of mine heard about an "Anti-Valientine's Day" party, and when we got there, no such luck. May I remind everyone that it was FREEZING last night. Well anyway, we WALKED back form Terrace View, which is about a 20 minute walk... but even though it was super cold, I still had fun (thank god I couldn't feel the cold -- who says alcohol doesn't help?!?!).

Other than that, nothing major going on. I kicked the living shit out of my Intro to CpE test... i was rather proud of that. I'm finally off on the right foot school wise. Anyway, enough for now. Have a nice day!

Well, it's been a while since I've even thought aobut this site. I'm now trying to think of ways to promote it. Who knows?

Last weekend I met the most incredible woman. I don't know what it was, but (well for me anyway) it felt like we just clicked together. Perhaps that sounds weird, but yeah, that's the way I saw it as. I won't bore you to death with details, because you don't want to know, and I don't want to tell. In anycase, I'm the happiest I've been in a while, so this is a GOOD thing, and it's about time! Heh!

Umm... not much else is new around here. Sorry to those of you who I said were gonna get a spot on the people page. As I said I haven't even thought about the website much, and I still have those good intentions! See ya!

Welcome to Version 3.1 of this website. It's no different from 3.0 in terms of appearence. I have fixed up a couple minor glitches and the site is now functioning under Netscape, as well as the ever faithful IE. So, I have tested it, and it is functioning under Netscape Navigator 4.08, and Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0. Once again, if you see anything weird, like blank spots, or blank pages, please e-mail me.

I have added a WHOLE bunch of poetry as well. I guess these are the few things that came with Version 3.1. There was one poem of note though, and I think I'm gonna talk a little about it right now in here.

I added a poem called "Fear" today, and I wrote it aobut a friend of mine. Her and I have a weird relationship. Ok, I lied. It's a great relationship. I met her during the summer of 1998, and eventually we were hanging out down at school. In the beginning (September-ish), there was a budding romance amongst all of that, but it fizzled away. As of recently, I was thinking along the same lines again, but with more of an open mind. After finding out that had I said something 12 hours earlier, I would have had my chance, I decided to hold back "the talk". And I did, until she brought it up. And as much as i feared telling her how I felt, everything went over well, and I feel as though her and I are closer because of it.

I know that it sounds like a gay mushy story, but it's true. She's awesome. I guess I'll just have to wait and see what the future holds.

All in all these past few days have been overwhelming. With all of that going on, and me sitting in utter indecision on where I wanted to live next year (also with the constant badgering of a certain someone... damn you!), it was very stressful. So, in the end, I'm closer to a friend of mine, and my friends and I signed up for the apartment complex that I had as my first choice. I guess everything worked out nicely. - Adios for today!

Well, so far the page is not Netscape friendly. I could be nice and fix this problem, but I'm not going to do that, because it's not worth the effort. Go get a GOOD browser like Internet Explorer. I won't even get into why it's SO much better than NutScraper. Who cares if it's Microsoft... most of your machine probably is anyway.

Now that I'm in a writing mood... I would love to state the biggest hypocracy in the world... here's a big "heads up" to all of you who are anti-Microsoft, and yet you're running Windows. Wake up and smell the fucking coffee.

Sorry about that, but it's too true. Anyway, as you can tell I'm in a majorly bad mood. And I guess I shouldn't be. I have on concrete reason to be. It's my mind going on a rampant tangent again. Why? Like I know... but it's one hell of a tangent. I'll leave some names out of this... I technically should leave the whole thing out of this, but I can't do that. There is someone who I place in higher regard... someone who I have thought about in the past, and I can see it slipping away. Slipping away, and there is nothing I can do, or anything I should do.

That made no fucking sense, and I understand that. I apologize. I guess that's all I can say right now. In short, by me remaining silent, I am making the situation better, but also worse at the same time. Only a few will know EXACTLY what I'm talking about. For the rest, I will explain at a later time.

Have a good evening, or early morning as the case may be. I hope it wasn't as stressful on the mind as mine.

I made it through day one of the semester from hell. This is now being called the semester of catching up for me. With the mishaps of last semester, I'm all geared up to actually get the grades I am capable of (maybe I can be a psychologist with this mentality!).. Anyway.

I made it down to the campus bookstore today to get all of my textbooks. Now, I know I've been through the book buying process before, but this time was INSANE! I can not believe that a small 200 page book can actually cost $80! It's robbery I tell ya, and the worst part is they can get away with it. Oh well.. not like I can do anything about it.

Other than that, I think everything in the land of Dan is fine... hopefully. I am still waiting to hear from Clan CAFE.. haven't heard from them in a while, and am kind of anxious to get back in and kick some ass with them. Well, enough said for today. Hope your books cost less than mine.

I'm back at school, and the page is going up now. Please let me know if something doesn't work. And people, DO NOT GIVE ME SHIT about the people page. I know most of youwere kidding, but it really messed with my head. Normally I can take that kind of abuse (i'll make it a point to evaluate before i explode next time).

Anyway, I guess you could call this version three. I didn't really change anything to the point of calling it a new version. OK, version 2.5! Enjoy! It's frameless, so "hopefully" Netscape won't shit a brick when it tried to load the pages. Anyway, have fun.

Dan

Friday, January 15th, 1999 -- 1:06AM

Well, I managed to get SO angry today that I tore down the whole site. I have been working on it all day, so that I can run it without frames. I think I'm done that part, but for he first time in my history on the web, I'm going to make sure I didn't mispell anything, and make sure that eveything makes sense. I'm sure many people know I have a tendancy of writing stuff, and having it make no sense at all.

I had a great time writing the People page last night. Brought back some great memories. When I woke up this morning, I had an e-mail from someone who was so distraught that they didn't get a paragraph... like it was the end of the world. Ok... so be it. I wrote that person a paragraph. Then later in the day I get another e-mail form someone else, saying similar things. I started wondering why I even bothered writing the page in the first place. A friend of mine called me from Dallas after that, to tell me that he thought the page kicked ass. Then someone else pushed me over the edge, and I think I'll just delete that page for good. As mich good as I intended it to have, I guess I fell short.

I guess I owe an apology to a few people who I chewed out extensively today... that will come tomorrow. I'm still overly-angry at the whole situation. Anyway... that's all. I'm keeping the page down until I'm back on the LAN at school. See ya soon.

I finally wrote the people page of this website. I will attempt to assemble the writing page tonight as well. I'm on a roll. Why ruin that?

Other changes: I obviously moved from Geocities to FortuneCity. Main reason was an easier interface, and faster website in general. Other influences include an extra 9mb that I can have. Plus I like it here better. I will keep the other site up for a while. Eventually I will dismantle the geocities site and permanently move over here.

I head back to Virginia Tech Saturday morning, and I'm getting excited for that. I do have to work about 1000 times harder this semester, but I'm sure I'll do fine. Other than that... i did in fact build my speakers, and they sound incredible. That's all for now. I'm beginning ot feel the effects of sleepyness. Enjoy!

Dan

Saturday, January 2nd, 1999 -- 8:52PM

It's been a while, but I now have time to work on the page. I made it through the fall semester with only one bruise, which will end up keeping me at VT for an extra semester. Doh! Oh well. Ummm.. I ventured up to Montreal for Christmas, and I really wish I could go back for another week, or another year.. I guess I can't have everything. All I know is that I will be back up there this summer, and dammit you guys! You're coming down here too sometime!!!

Aside from that, my break from school has been relatively uneventful. I am anxiously awaiting the arival of my speaker parts so I can build my boxes, and have my super speakers kickin it old school! Or something like that. I need something speaker oriented so I can actually have a use for this beautiful receiver I got for Christmas.

That's all for now. Later.

Well, I guess this may hold up as an up to date thing. I figure I'll have to catalog this quite a bit. By month and such. Well anyway. Today was the beginning of final exams for me, and man oh man has today sucked. First of all it started by me not getting enough sleep as usual last night. Ugh! But as if my fucking Networks exams wasn't enough stress, I had my Microeconomics exam this morning. It was so easy! So that was a relief. But then I moved on to my networks studying. I managed to get into a study group today, and it really helped. I figure I hit about a 75 on the exam, which if you saw my other exams grades, is one hell of an improvement. But enough on school.

Just to let you know, exams are getting the better of me right now, so my language and people skills are rather crude. Please bare with me. Ummm.. what else? I decided last night to help my old LMCTF clan, Clan VT, finish up the Ragnarok Tourney. But who knows with that anyways! In 5 days, I go from a T3 to a modem, so that should prove interestign as well.

That's all for now. I have this un-dying urge to play guitar (could be because of the excessive ammount of Metallica I have been listening to lately). Catch ya later.

Thursday, December 10th, 1998 -- 11:30PM

I figured I owe atleast one entry for today. Well, I wrote the "me" part of the site this morning, and yes I know it's a little rough aroundthe edges. In any case, I'm planning to use this as perhaps the tales of my life. Who knows! It's tough enough for me to write in my fucking journal, so I don't know how this is going to get any precedence. Anyway, I put the site up today for Terri so she could see. It's obvisously not finished.

In today's news: Clan CAFE beat HAR tonight 1-0! WOOHOO! And in other news.. ummm.. i will be working on a Flash intro for the site over winter break, so look for that in January. And also I'm amidst final exams right now, so my work on the site is done until next week. Have fun everyone!

Dan

Monday, December 7th, 1998 -- 6:00PM

This is the first message of this website. Nothing jazzy yet. I like this format better. So welcome to version 2.0. Then again, no one ever saw version 1.0. Enjoy!
