Site Updates


This is a redone version of my updates page. The sliding menu on the side is an easy way to get to each of the months that I've posted updates for. In the future, if I dont update the site at all in a month, I'll still post the link but I'll make sure to put in that there were no updates. But I know I'll update it at least once a month, most likely twice or three times a month.


April Updates (2003)
4-25-03
I just did some more updates on the site (like adding this page and fixing the picture page) so if u wanna check out the pics again go ahead. Like the title says, this is just gonna be more stuff about me. It probably wont be updated everyday, but I'll try to do it at least once a week (hopefully more)


4-29-03
Well i made some more updates. I rearranged some of the links and stuff and I added little things to the pages. Also, on the photos page it says that I have more pics and that I just havent scanned them. Well thats true, but I decided not to put them up cause they suck and I don't want to. Oh yeah, in a week or two should have at least one more pic on here. It depends on how long it takes my friend to get them to me.
May Updates (2003)
5-8-03
I rearranged the front page again. I just added a little more text to it. Also I put somemore stuff on the "About Me" page so check it out if u want to. I should have the new pics of my friend in a few days hopefully.


5-10-03
Well that sucked. I came here to see what the counter was up to and decided to take a look around the site. Then I saw a lot of mistakes that I never corrected. Things like more misspelled words, a wrong link, and an outdated resume. That really sucked, and I just worked on the site two days ago.


5-21-03
I'm sure you noticed the banners on the site. No they're not something from tripod, its a new movie from Sony. I'm part of the "S.W.A.T. Street Team". I get points for spreadin the word about the movie. You dont have to join though. I get points weather or not u join, but if u do join i get more points. If you join then you're eligible to win cool stuff like a 27" Wega TV from sony, a MD (minidisc) player, a PS2, and other cool stuff. But all you gotta do is click the link and I get points, so no pressure. But your help would be appreciated.


5-28-03
Well my friend finally gave me the pictures she's been promising. Although she just got them in yesterday, so I guess I can't blame her for taking so long. Also I added a Favorite Quotes Page. More info on that one on its page
June Updates (2003)
6-1-03
Well technically its the first. I added another quote, fixed some text on that page, and added some more on the main page. Well some people consider the Photos page to be the main page since thats the reason most people come here. Oh well people still sign the guest book, its at 5 pages now, after a couple more it'll be at 6 so its cool. Also I decided to add a favorite music list on the "About Me" page. its long i know, but mainly because a couple groups/artists I like have a lot of good songs. Oh yeah I added another link. too


6-13-03
Man, its been almost 2 weeks since I've updated the site. People keep comming here, but they usually dont sign the guest book. Its starting to bug me. I might start thinking I have a stalker if this keeps up. Yeah right. Well I added a pic of myself to the About Me page. I also renamed the Photos Page to the Friends Page, cause that's what its for. Its about my friends. I don't really like the picture I just added, but everyone else does so I figured I should add it. I added a couple new links to my favorites page too. Oh yeah one more thing. Congratulations Gracie. You're a high school graduate now. I know you'll do great at CSU Stanislaus


6-15-03
I figured out how to do streaming media. Cool. On the Internet Media page, just click any of the links and the movie or music will start playing windows media player.


6-17-03
Well I fixed a quote that wasn't finished, added 3 more, and fixed some text on a couple pages. I also added a link to a lyrics website. Its pretty good so if you ever need the lyrics to a song you should check it out. I dont really use it, only to make sure the ones I put in are right. I guess that's it for now.


6-20-03
I know I only said once a week, but this week i keep findin stuff to do to it. This time its more quotes and links. I found this website called Mutedfaith.com, its pretty cool. its got artwork, jokes, quotes, a lot of stuff. Check it out. There's a link to in the the fave links section.


6-25-03
Not much to report this time. I just added the little news thing on the side. It's from Wired.com, it's a tech news site. I like it, check it out if you want to. Oh yeah, I didnt like all the white space at the bottom so I rearranged this page.
July Updates (2003)
7-10-03
Well its been a while since I've worked on the site. People are still comming here but not everyone is signing the guest book. I've gotten another like 15 hits at least and only maybe 4 new entries in my guest book. Well some of those hits are from my friends when i told them to check somethin out for me. As for what I did this time, well I made this the second page (well third if u count the home page), seperated the music lyrics from the other quotes, and did a little more rearranging. Nothin really major though so it's not a big deal. This thing started off as like a 3 or 4 page website and now it's at 10 pages.


7-12-03
I found a nice little script that lets me keep people from stealing my pictures. I did this because one day this girl I was talking to said that she'd seen my pics before.


7-31-03
Well its been almost 3 weeks since i updated my website. I havent had a computer for about that long. It really sucked not havin a computer. Well now I do. Its pretty nice too. The only thing that sucks about it is that it doesnt have a dvd drive. My mom didnt want to get one because she has her dvd player and i have my xbox. Oh well, at least i have a computer now. The site's still getting hits even though i havent been givin out the address. I really gotta find out where these hits are commin from. Well as for updates, I changed where the photos link to. Instead of just going to the picture, it links to a new website that has just pictures, full size though so only go if u have a decent connection (some of them are pretty big) or you really wanna see the full size pictures. That's it for now I guess.
August Updates (2003)
8-10-03
I let 10 day's go by since I last updated it? Wow, I kept meaning to work on this but I kept getting distracted. That's why most of the time I only update it at night or in the early morning. Let's see, what'd I do this time? Alright, I fixed some of the text and did some little updates. Just a bunch of minor things, nothing major. Oh yeah I added a message forum too.


8-15-03
Twice in a few days, not bad. well the only thing i did this time was delete a couple pics. I got rid of the on of Gracie and her bf since they're not together anymore and i'm not at all close to him. I got rid of another pic too, but only because I didnt like it being uneven. both pics are still on the other site with the full size pics though so if you want to see them they're still there.


8-26-03
Well lets see, this time i added some lyrics, redid some of the text on the Home Page, and I made another lyrics page. The new one is lyrics to entire songs. There'll be a lot of 112, probably a lot of Ginuwune, maybe Blackstreet, 50 Cent, Eminem...the ones on my favorite songs list. I only got 2 done tonight. I did Usher: Nice and Slow; and 112 Smile. I'll work on more tomorrow and put them up here. So I guess that means for a while I'm gonna be updating this every day. Not that that's a bad thing. After I start school next tuesday, I probably wont be doin much to this site for a while. Probably be a couple weeks between updates.


8-27-03
I decided to only do like 1 or 2 a day. It takes too much of my time to do more than that. So today I did Eminem, DMX, Obie Trice: Go to Sleep. Its from the Cradle 2 the Grave soundtrack. Good movie. DMX and Jet Li are the main characters. Something I noticed in DMX's movies is that he's always rich, he's never just a regular guy. In Exit Wounds he was pretending to be a drug dealer to catch someone who framed his brother, but he also had a club that made a lot of money and was a computer genius. In Cradle 2 the Grave, he's a thief and he's got a very big house, lots a equipment: guns, cars, etc.


8-28-03
No new lyrics today. For some reason the counter hasnt been showing up. i went to Bravent.com (the site where I got my counter) and updated it. I thought maybe it'd dissappeared because it was out of date. So I fixed it and put the new code in but it still wouldnt show up. So I just said screw it, and did it my way. So if you want to see how many people have been to my site, just click the Counter Stats button.




September Updates (2003)
9-4-03
Wow has it really been that long since I updated the site? Well the only thing I did today was change the counter again. I dont think it was tracking my hits so I put the code back in even though it doesn't show my counter. That's why I had to keep the button there still too.


9-12-03
I just noticed that the lyrics for Go to Sleep were missin a couple words so I figured i should fix that. Nothing else new though.


9-15-03
Alright, the button didn't want to work anymore and the counter i got from bravenet doesn't want to show. I emailed bravenet and told them that it wasn't showing up on my website. The link that's on the site will take you to the last stats in case you're interested in them. if you want to see them without leaving this page just right click on the link and select open link in new window, otherwise you'll be taken away from this site. that's how it is with all the links except the onese that link between pages here on the site. Also I made this new update page, right now it's in decending order so the newer updates are at the bottom. One more thing, I took my picture today for my student ID card at JC so this weekend I'll try and scan it and put it up so there's a new picture of me on here since the newest one if from January


9-16-03
Well I got an answer from bravenet. Actualy they answered me in only 20 minutes. I didn't know because I didn't check my email until this morning at school. Basically what he told me was that it's my computer that is keeping me from seeing the counter. When he checked it out, he said he could see it. and when one of my friends Jules checked it out, she said she could see it (its at 432 now). So here I am ranting that my counter isnt showing up and its been there the entire time. Whats funny is that I never thought to check it out while I was at school. I'll see if I can do that tonight. Other than that, there's nothin new to report. I already mentioned taking a new picture the other day. SO I guess that's it for today.
Later.

9-19-03
I decided to get rid of the S.W.A.T. banner ads. There really wasnt any point to keeping them anymore since the movie is already out, also i'm going to be putting new ads up as advirtisement for my favorite group (112). I'm going to really work on getting the lyrics to 112 songs done (probably work on them friday, no classes) 112's site has a link to a lot of the lyrics but I'm not going to use them because I think that they're fan submissions. Some of the lyrics are wrong. I'm not just saying that because I think I'm better at it, but some obvious lyrics were wrong.

9-26-03
Bravenet did try a lot of things to help me out. Their customer support is pretty good. After I first contacted them, they replayed to my messages within 1 day every time. So I dont have any problems with them. They tried. Even if I did have to talk to 3 different people. But like I said, I dont have any problems with them. So no new updates this time.




October Updates (2003)
10-10-03
Wow, about 2 weeks since I've worked on the website. Well there are only two things to mention: I added the lyrics to Hit the Floor by Linkin Park off the Meteora album. Good song if you're angry at someone and well I was when I did it. I've noticed that I get angry easier now. Maybe it'c because I always keep my emotions (especially anger) hidden inside me. Really the only emotions I let out is happiness, like when I'm with my friends. Ok I'm getting off topic. The other bit of news is that I'm starting another website. I'm making it at Bravenet.com and one of the bonuses is that unlike Tripod's builders, you can go back and forth between the visual editors and the text editors. I found a bunch of midi files there so I'm gonna think about adding some music to both sites. Just some background music. I'm suprised that they had some really good songs, all free. Well that's it for now. I'll try and do something hear at least once a week.




November Updates (2003)
11-6-03
And here I thought 2 weeks was a long time between updates, its been almost a month. No new updates, actually I'm takin off the resume page because I don't need it any more. That's right, i got myself a job now. I work at Cicuit City by the mall. I start sunday at 8am. Yeah 8am, so i can't sleep in any more. I guess its a good thing I'm getting rid of it because it's way out of date. its stil has my schedule from last semester and that ended 7 months ago.
I'll try and update it more but there isn't much goin on with my life other than school and now work. If anything important happens though, I'll be sure to put it up here.

11-7-03
First I dont update for a month, then I update two days in a row. Well today's update is due to a friend of mine. She said I should add a chat room so I did. I'm not sure that's gonna get more traffic, but I really dont care. I mainly made this site so I wouldnt have to give out my email when people in chat rooms wanted pictures. But I guess now I can just have a friend meet me here and we can talk, so I guess it's worth it. Let me know what you think.




December Updates (2003)
12-18-03
It's been over a month since I've updated the site. I havent been doin much. Really the only thing i've done is work and school. But school's out now so I guess all I'll be doing is work. The only thing I've done is remove the guest map. No one was really using it so there was really no point in keeping it up. Well that's its for today. I'll try and update more often.
January Updates (2004)
01-09-04
Opps, I forgot to republish my website after I finished updating it back in December. Well I didnt do anything this time. Just some updates about me. First, circuit city is keeping me so I now have a permenant job (for a while anyways), second (and this actually happened a while ago but I just never said it) i have a girlfriend. Samantha. She's so nice and sweet and beautiful. When I get some good pics of her, I'll put them up. Also, on monday I start my 3rd semester at MJC and my schedule's pretty packed. especially Mondays. If you want to check out my calendar, go to my yahoo calender and check out what my schedule is. Talk to later

01-25-04
Well, my schedule isnt as packed, my night class got cancelled so its just two classes now. Two on monday's and wednesday's and 1 on mon-thur mornings. I can't really say anything about my work schedule cuz it changes every week. Things are goin good for me and my girlfriend still. Actually she's part of the reason I'm gonna update my site, i'm gonna make a page for her. its gonna have things like how i feel about her and, when i get some nice ones later, some pictures of her. I do have one, but its not that great of a picture. Another thing I gotta do is a friends page. I know, I already have one, but that's just pics of friends. It doesn't have any info about them. I got the idea from my friend Kate. So that's another thing I gotta work on but I'm not gonna publish them till i get them finished. Another thing, those pages aren't gonna be available to everyone (at least not at first), especially the one for my girlfriend. That one is gonna have some very personal stuff on it so I'm gonna put a password on it. You're probably wondering how I'm gonna do that, well I have my ways. Oh yeah, my and my girlfriend's anniversary is the 5th. this comming one is our 3 month anniversary. Yeah I know I kept it secret for a while. Oh well.




February Updates (2004)
02/01/04
Well there's a couple things new. first, I took away access to my message board. Its been moved to the page I made for me and my girlfriend. Second, the link at the bottom of the menu, you can click on it and try and get into it but its got a password on it so you can't. So like it says, don't try. k? Also I added another song to the lyrics page.
March Updates (2004)
03/08/04
(modified 3/10/04)
Sorry i havent updated in a while. I've been goin through some things with my gf. Basically, she wants to break up. if we do and how she decides to is gonna determine if me and her stay friends at least.

03/10/04
Well i screwed up pretty bad. I modified the previous posting cuz my ex (we did break up) saw it and got mad. even though i know she comes here i still didnt think about how what i said would affect her. i was just too upset at the time to really think clearly. so unfortunately she saw it and i messed us up. we had just been talkin about how nice it was that we were still friends and could joke around about it. but i went and screwed up with her like usual. so now she's mad at me unfortunately and i dont know how long she's gonna be mad cuz she probably thinks i'm two-faced or something and then there's the fact that i guess i made her feel like she's the worst person ever. well i dont know if she thinks that. her exact words were "why it dont mean anything im the worst person ever". considering the fact that she was mad and not sad (at least as far as i could tell) i think she was being sarcastic. she has every right to be mad at me though. i shouldnt have put that up. it was wrong. i should have waited till after everything had settled but i didnt. i vented and look where it got me. this is part of the reason y i keep most things to myself...i dont hurt people or make them mad at me when i keep my feelings to myself. so i dont know. she probably wont wanna talk to me for a while and i understand that and accept it.

Sam...I'm sorry for saying what I did. I was mad and upset that you wanted to break up but that still doesnt give me the right to say what i did. So I'm sorry. I hope you can forgive me. Till you do just know that I'll still always be here for you. I will always be here for you no matter what happens between us.

3/23/04
Well things are goin pretty good for me. I'm gettin plenty of work and school's keepin me busy too. One of the best things is that its been two weeks since me and sam broke up but we're still doin good as friends so that's nice. nothin new. i keep forgettin to update my faves page cuz i got a lot of new songs and movies that i wanna add. i've been buyin cds and dvds like crazy since i started workin at circuit city. like now my two fave cds r the G-Unit cd and the Twista cd. both are really good. so is the Kanye West cd. i love the second song called "We Dont Care". really good. Well that's it, i gotta finish a test. later

May Updates (2004)
05/02/04
(modified 5/09/04)
Its been over a month since I've updated the site. Not much has changed. Really the only thing different is that my ex has a new bf so we dont talk very much now. Which sux, but hey, whatever makes her happy ya know? As for me, I'm not doin much, schools out, still at Circuit City. Still buyin movies and cds all the time. I just bought the Hoobastank and Three Days Grace cds last week. I really like the Hoobastank cd, its got a lot of good songs, The Reason, Out of Control, What Happened to Us, and a couple others. The Three Days Grace cd is mainly a bunch of angry songs about an ex girlfriend it sounds like, but its still a good cd. As for me and sam...I'm still not sleeping much, but that's to be expected when the girl you love leaves you. I'm not gettin all broken up about it like i used to, of course i still miss her and would like to get back together, but she's got someone else now and it seems like he's makin her happy so as long as he keeps her happy, i'll try and be happy for her. But that's it for now. Later.

05/09/04
The same day I put up that thing about my ex having a boyfriend, i find out that they broke up. We got to spend a couple nights together last week, that was really nice. I'd really missed talking to her at night. The modified thing on the last post is just from me mispelling a couple words. I was hoping we could spend tonight together because she said she was gonna be home but it looks like whoever's using her screen name on aol is gonna be on all night again. Probably her big brother, but it cant be helped I guess. I'll just have to try and catch her one night when he isnt using the phone all night. I'm done for now so I'm gonna go. Later.
Oh yeah, and I added a couple new fave lyrics and quotes. I'll try and add some new lyrics to songs in a lil while. I'm done with school now so all I got to do now is work (and i've been doin a lot of that) so i should have a lil more free time.
June Updates (2004)
06/09/04
Well that sucked, i had this big long update all typed up and before i got to save it, my browser froze up and i lost it. that really sux. oh well i dont feel like rewritting it, it'll just get me upset cuz it was about me and my ex. the only thing from it i'm gonna put is: i love you Sam, I always will. I'll always be here for you and all you ever gotta do if you need me is tell me and i'll do anything i can to help you. ok that was a bit longer than what i originally had but i'm sure i woulda put it in there eventually since i wasnt done writting. I dont know if she still comes to my site but i put it there just in case. All i did to update the site was i took down some pics of people i dont talk to anymore. and i added some more lyrics. just a song from 3 Doors Down, it describes pretty well how i feel about my ex. i'm also gonna try and add the lyrics to this one song called right here for you from 112. another song that describes how i feel about her. Some people might think its pathetic that i'm still hanging on after all this time but u didnt know her cuz if you knew what it was like to be with her you wouldnt wanna lose her either.
Oh yeah, and i changed the songs that i had available. the only way to listen to them is from a link unless u happen to know what songs and where i put them but if u do then i probably gave it to you. Those songs arent for everyone. They're only for the people who i want to hear them

06/11/04
lol, a couple hours after i posted that last update i talked to sam online for 2hrs. it was a really good conversation. I got to say things to her that i've been wanting to say and she told me something that i really needed to hear. One of the things she told me, and this is the reason i've been in such a good mood lately, is that she still loves me and always will. She may be with JT and she may be living with him now too...but she still loves me and misses me too. Its nice to know that i wasnt the only one feeling that way. One bad bit of news, is that she said me and her really cant get back together unless we live closer because as things are now, she doesnt wanna do the long distance thing again. Which is understandable, especailly when u got someone right there for you. I'm not even upset about that part though because I know she still loves me...and just knowing that is enough to get me through just about anything. Some people might think i'm holding on to something that has no chance...but a guy can hope huh? Besides the only way I'm gonna be over her is if i get a new gf or if i stop talking to her. I'm definately not gonna stop talkin to her. as a matter of fact, i'm talkin to her on aim right now...or i was till she said she'd be right back set herself as away. Besides if i stop talking to her i'd miss her way too much and i'd lose her as a friend and i'd really hate myself if i let that happen to us. As for gettin a new gf, that doesnt seem too likely right now. So it looks like I'm stuck hopin huh? Oh well. I dont mind. at least me and her get to talk sometimes...although i really miss her voice. She has a beautiful voice. its one of my favorite things about her. My favorite thing about her is the fact that she loves me back...then there's the fact that she's absolutely gorgeous. I know she's gonna yell at me for sayin that when she reads this. Oh well. Sorry babii, but i cant help the fact that i think you're the most beautiful girl I've ever seen. Well that's it for now. oh yeah, the only thing i updated today was i added her picture to mywebsite since only my closest friends and people with aol could see it. i have it in my aol profile and now i have it here so anyone can see her. but you still cant steal her pic and say its you so dont try you picture theives.
*I love you babii, always and forever*

Wow, almost 2 months since I've updated the site. Some interesting things have happened between then and now. Lots of personal things and lots of things between me and sam. I put her new picture up...actually its only one of her new pictures. She sent me six, i think what i'm gonna do is get back to work on that website I was making for her and then finish it so she can see it. She's seen it before but it wasnt completely finished. Once I finish it i'm gonna put all her of her pictures there. But that's not a website just everyone can see because its going to have a password on it...actually i may just change the URL because some other people wanted to see it.

Wow, over 5months since I've updated the site. Some big things and some small things. No time to go into it right now though, hopefully tomorrow I can. Never mind..the reason I was logging off just logged back on so it makes it pointless for me to log off. Well the major thing that happened was me and my ex got back together...or a week. it was great while it lasted, now if only it'd lasted longer. Its ok though, it hurt for a while (which is part of the reason I havent been on much if at all these past few months) but I'm over it and we're friends and i'd rather be her friend then not be in her life at all. The past week has been really nice, we spent basically every night together since last sunday night and we spend a good portion of today together texting and talkin on the phone. Thats one of the smaller things that happened, she got a new cell phone finally so its easier for us to keep in touch. I got a new cell phone too. I dropped my Nokia 3200 (which i loved) down a sewer drain on accident (you think i'd do that on purpose?!?) and it was only $100 for me to get the Nokia 6820. It's so cool, you should check it out. I used to send maybe 100 text messages a month now i send like 4-500. 3 weeks into my billing cycle i've already sent about 400. Oh and I got a webcam finally. I got it last wednesday. I havent gotten to use it much to see my friends though yet cuz i havent been on the computer all week (working all day) but it'll be cool to be able to let my friends out of state see me. Hopefully it inspires them to get one so we can see each other. Well I'm gonna go now. Hopefully I'll do a little more work on this tomorrow and do a little more cleanin up on my website. Speakin of which I added some stuff to the "About Me" page, put a newer pic of my ex up, added some music and movie listings, and on this page i flipped the Update Menu so it has the newest at the top and the oldest at the bottom so its a little easier to get to the new updates. Later
