Hotlinking...
Hay guys thanks so much for continually hotlinking to my mp3s and my scans. That really helps out my bandwidth situation! If you like my files so much, just download them to your hard drive. There is NO REASON to hotlink my scans for your stupid myspace backgrounds, or to hotlink my mp3s to your stupid-fuck flash internet media players.
I will begin to take the offense on bandwidth leechers. First the subtle approach, then a forceful approach, and it will escalate like that, quite rapidly.
I provide these files to the masses FOR FREE, download them all you like (in fact tell your friends to download them, too) just DO NOT DO NOT DO NOT DO NOT DO NOT DO NOT directly link to a song or image or video file that I have hosted here. All my files are intended for downloading and enjoying, NOT for myspace faggotry (that goes for friendster, too).
Also I do realize its been forever since I have updated this place - for that I am sorry as usual, but working 40hr a week and going to school is a bit of a drain. (and fitting boozing and general retardation into that busy schedule is practically an art)

Merry Christmas, mofos!
So yes, it is precisely 11:45pm Mountain Standard Time or something like that, so somewhere it is December 25th, which means its Christmas somewhere, and it'll be christmas day here as soon as I finish this post.
Anyways, Im up spreading X-mas joy because Im building the rig of a lifetime here, DFI SLi-DR Expert mobo, opteron 165 CPU, and a bunch more goodies from my old rig, all inside a new Antec p180 case. Its so amazing, working with this mobo is great, but the case is HARD to build inside of. I love every minute of it though, and I hope to get some prelim. testing in before I fall asleep and then really delve into overclocking it all by tomorrow morning. Then maybe have a respectable clock come new years. (and have all cooling issues resolved.)
Well I'll see you all later, and don't despair - 'I wish god damn it, we'll make it if you believe'

Long post, wow, so many things -- also Steven, here's the run down for RAZR modding/hacking :D
Okie dokie Im still a bit hung over, but I want to get most this out there before I pass out from all the delicious foodstuffs. Happy Turkey Day, BITCHES ^.^
Alright, first things first. Wow.. just wow. I remember now why Chris, Shea, and Wacker were some of the best friends I had. Me and Ryan actually went over to see them last night, and god damn it was good. In addition, Tommy, Steven, and Justine were all there... oh yea, and Phil too, as well as the girls. We all had some good drinks together (I have now realized the power of alcohol, the healer of wounds, mender of fences, deligator of commons, etc, etc and I could go on like this)
I dont remember a lot of specifics, that is how I knew it was a great time. However, I remember everyone has a RAZR, really gay shit, haha. Ive got the gunmetal Ver, as does Shea, then Justine has the metallic pink V3r (looks better than the poofy pearl pink new one, oh and guys DONT FORGET TO MAIL IN THOSE DAMN REBATES, YA SLACKERS), and Steven, being the omnipotent Canadian that he is, has one of the best Moto RAZRs, the black cingular V3/V3c (I still havent pinpointed which, but they are essentially the same when it comes to features and hacking.)
Its too bad Daerion and Hermanez had other plans (Daerion seeing his dad, and Hermanez had work early in the morning)
Alright, on to the good stuff. The technology. The XBOX360s they have are pretty cool, and no reported problems from Tommy OR Chris, so that is good. Chris still has that DELL desktop I set up for him (lol we need to upgrade that shit), Wacker's got what SOUNDS like the same, or a very similar-to-Laurens Toshiba lappy (powered by celeron M), justine has some busted up Compaq (hawhaw shes fucked like I am, Compaq/HP are shit), and Shea is still ballin' with the same laptop as Ryan (fags bought them at the same time, same place, with the same ASU cash)
Ok now, I thinking just 'upgrade' Justines lappy with my 'legal backup copy' of OEM WinXP, see how much that fixes, then clean up her registry, scan for malware/virii, then check out her porn stash. Next, uninstall any useless compaq/hp software, check for BIOS updates, check for new or better drivers (mainly for the video card and fucking crappy mainboard). That should fix everything, and if not, well then Ill have to bust out the big guns and start editing the registry my damn self to make it work. (it probably needs RAM, too - but Im sorry, I gave all my extra laptop RAM to Ryan to alleviate his bogging p4-mobile laptop (Im sure Shea could use a 512 stick, too), and I think I passed some laptop RAM to lauren as well, for her sister's Toshi.
NOW HERE IS THE PART STEVEN WANTS TO READ. (maybe Shea/Justine, too)
Motorola RAZR Modding starters:
Backup your phone
Make a flash/flex backup with Random's Flash Backup (doesnt work for V3r's, Ive already tried.
This will make a direct copy of your phones firmware/software/files - you need a very good amount of battery left for this, but for modding I always recommend 100% batt, or at least as close to that as possible. (which is easy enough since the RAZR can charge off any computer equipped with the USB powa)
Now this flash backup tool DOES NOT work for v3r, like I said before, due to bootloader incompatibility.
After the flash backup has been made, make a direct file system backup. What I mean by this is use a P2k software (I will list the softs I use for reference at the end) to directly copy all folders and files to a specific location on your computer's HDD so as to save all your files (this wont save anything you have stored to the SIM card, but as long as you never lose/break/put a magnet near your SIM card, its data will NEVER be lost (contacts, text messages, carrier/customer info)
Alrighty now that you have 2 effective all-purpose backups (or just one for poor v3r owners like myself) you want to upgrade the firmware. This CAN be tricky now that there are SO many versions of the V3 series phones out now. A lot of firmwares (v3, v3c, v3i, v3m, v3x, v3r, v3t) are not cross-phone compatible, even cingular v3r firmware is NOT compatible with t-mo's myfaves v3r phones due to the god damn bootloader no one seems to be able to find/make/edit/update.
Updating the firmware CAN very possibly brick your phone if you do it wrong. (I did it with my old v620, and v330 phones)
To avoid bricking the phone (either repairably or irrepairably) - I suggest reading a shit-ton of info, provided at http://motomodders.net (need to register w/ a valid email for downloads) and http://howardforums.com (probably needs registration for something, although I havent reg`d there yet) Here is a flex/flash guide if you are interested
Ok say you are too lazy (like me) to find a suitable firmware. Yea, fuck that shit, these phones are new enough anyways XD
Changing the outer LCD picture (cingular logo, or tmo logo) while the flip is open
This is simple enough, just make a pretty 96x80 pixel .gif file (no transparency, and as few colours as possible - I used under 64 colours and mine is badass) use a p2k soft to upload it to the phone (I dont remember when the file IS per-say, but if you can read, and have a good p2k soft, then it shouldnt be TOO hard, eh?)
Reboot the phone (either using the soft, or just doing it yourself with the phone's power button) to see the changes (this will apply to anything you change on your phone, and is MANDATORY for SEEM editing)
Oh wait, 'WTF is SEEM editing?' you ask, well let me pull some one else's guide since Im not going to type it all out.
Guide to SEEM editing
Now that you hopefully know what SEEM editing is, and how to perform such a modification, we can move on to more difficult things. This includes 'unbranding' a phone, changing the menu (from 9 icons to 12), adding the FEM(engineering menu), enabling weird features like airplane mode, adding custom carriers (mostly for use when you cant get a good signal from the cell you are connected to), and/or altering the 'GAIN TABLE' for volumes and what not.
Here is a FULL list of known SEEM edits as well as a full list of GAIN TABLE edits and descriptions, even includes known MENU edits (MMA files).
That is basically all I know. If have any further questions, call/text me, leave me an IM/email or just leave a comment here.

A General Update
So, to quickly recap somethings here...
I have a pearl grey RAZR, love it, but it needs work to make it perfect. I suggest a V3m or V3x, or just a regular V3 if you can find a shiny black. They are much easier and more fun to hack.
My Brother's Blood Machine was a bit disappointing, but overall I enjoyed the album enough to purchase it (and I got that sweet shirt as well, the one with the album art on it, the all-seeing eye.)
Ive modded the PS2slim to play games off of a run-of-the-mill Maxtor IDE hard drive. It isnt too hard, all you need is an external USB enclosure, the HDD, a copy of Swap Magic, a few handy apps, and some games to 'backup'. It works with NTSC/PAL/J-NTSC games, without the use of a modchip or soldering, how very convenient and safe :D
Firefox 2.0 is pretty good, Im noticing a bit less mem leak, and still a good amount of compatibility for plugins/etc, and a built-in spell checker, fucking saves my life sometimes!
The new releases of Azureus and Bitcomet torrent clients aren't all that handy, though. I reccomend using older versions if you can. Also, I recommend doanloading Peer Guardian 2 if you torrent, and maybe CCleaner if you browse the internet a lot. Also, TuneXP isnt too bad if you would like to optimize your WinXP install -- sorry I dont have any links for any of these great apps, but some clever Google usage may unearth good things. The devs for Peer Guardian are called 'Phoenix Labs' so only download Peer Guardian from the 'Phoenix Labs' webpage to ensure a virus/malware-less installer.
Soon enough the prices for AMD's Opteron (939 and 940 socket, dual or single core offerings for both) will come crashing down, reports tell me that we may be able to find Opteron 170s as low as 180USD, and 165s as low as 150USD. (both socket 939)
Both of these CPUs overclock very modestly and, In my opinion, are a much better buy than the Athlon X2 chips. They were made for serving, so multi-tasking is where their performance really shines, but running a FSB of 300mHz with a multiplier of x8, x8.5, x9, or even x9.5, I dont think much in that price range can even TOUCH the processing capabilities of that. However, to get these dual core units up about 2.9-3.0gHz, water cooling, and in some rare cases, even PHASE CHANGE cooling is necessary to keep core temps at a minimum (remember this new technology has one drawback, a low tolerance for temperature... Most techies will tell you to keep the dual core Athlon/Opteron CPUs under 65 degrees at full load torture, and then under 45 idle, based on an ambient temp of 32-35C.)
What else is their to quickly update upon... Well bejeweled is officially the MOST addicting flash/cellphone game Ive even played, Im playing it all the, when Im not playing PS2 games off my HDD (no load times woo woo)
I haven't heard much else of any real notability, so until my next update...

A New Layout, Once Again.
This time I enlisted the help of an esteemed co-worker, and best friend, Laurens. I started photoshopping up the basis for this layout, but could not get it exactly how I wanted it (I was also going about it half-assedly). After I asked her for help, in about 20 minutes she had made the original layout design look ten to fifteen times better than I had originally thought it could look. The end result is just stunning! She did most of the CSS for me as well, and chose the best combination of colours I have seen. The off-white/deep orange is awesome and complements the image map so perfectly :D
This has got to be my very favourite layout to date, and it'll be quite some time before I change it again since I've got it exactly how I want it now ^.^b
As you can see, its made from scans of the front and back covers of the new Armory Wars Sketchbook, blended together with some touches of a particular brush I happen to like a lot. Yea so, I use brushes; :P eff you.
Tell me what you think of it :D And if you like THIS layout, you'll love Lauren's other amazing creations, Kurai DOT nu, and Ivalice DOT nu (iNU).
Nothing new on the Coheed horizon yet, I'll let you guys know as soon as I get a leak from the very first Prize Fighter Inferno album, but still nothing, to my amazement.

Update, finally
Yea, it has been some time since I updated this page.
Well I am attending MCC now, how incredibly easy it is. My calc teacher is a Gilbert High teacher though, so she always looks so tired and confused and run down when she finally gets to our class (starts at 7:30 pm on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday.) And in being a High School teacher, she teaches us like one, which is thoroughly annoying. At least at ASU the teachers were more professional about things, even though they did not give a damn about the material or the students.
However, I suppose it could be worse. I foresee that I will grow tired of this place before long, so Ill be needing to talk to the good guys over at ITT and see what they can do for me.
For those of you interested, I will be still going for that B.S.E. in Computer Systems Engineering, just not from that god damned, wretched ASU... Ill be cold and ignorant and dead in the ground before I hand them more of my hard-earned cash (or rather, easily earned government financial aid grant monies) for their pathetic instruction.
I am looking forward to being taught straight forward and in a hands-on approach so I can REALLY learn how to be an engineer. I don't need English, I do not need to be taught to think like an engineer, and I certainly do not need cultural awareness, for fuck's sake.
Ok enough of my pathetic ramblings about my life. About the site. Sorry for the confusion and poorly devised linking plans for the newest Coheed acoustic mp3s. I fucked that up royally D:
If there are any more things I have missed, broken links and otherwise, do not be shy to contact my VIA AIM - my screen name is DontPassTheFence.
I love it when anyone that has questions/comments/praise/helpful tips/information messages me in regards to anything Coheed related.
Or even if you just wanna shoot the breeze and bullshit, I can do that as well most of the time, however if I don't answer in like fifteen minutes, I might actually be doing some work at work, and for that I apologize in advance since I never remember to put up an away message when I am actually working.
Next subject: Cars.
To my dismay, I did NOT obtain that 2002 Mazda Miata that I was sooooo close to owning. It seems my credit is STILL not good enough to qualify me for a 13,000$ used car loan. Damn it :(
I'm keeping the Grand Am, and slowly fixing it up and selling some parts I do not need anymore.
However, the black headlights are staying, and I should someday update my Car page with new pics and what not.
I still have plans to obtain a 2002 Mazda Miata, but it will have to wait until February of next year, and at the latest, May of next year. (since I will NOT be fixing the Grand Am's broken a/c, I can drive it throughout the fall, winter, and most of spring, but summer will fucking kill me like it did this year :/
I think that is about it for now... I don't have much time lately to update as much as I'd like to, what with 35hr/wk at work, classes, fixing the stupid car, and playing Sacred: Underworld.
I gotta tell you, this game is effing amazing. Its much like Diablo 2, in that you are good, must fight evil, 8 character classes, set items, rare items, magical items, slotted items, awesome magic and combat arts... But it has some really cool shit Diablo didn't, like custom combos, more weapons, more D&D themed skills/attributes, more dragons, demons, dryads, nymphs, 4 or 5 different species of elves :D
If you don't know about the game, I suggest you at least try it, its only 20$ now, and runs flawlessly on even MY LAPTOP
If you want more info on the game, hacks, trainers, hex editing, copying the game disc (FOR BACKUP PURPOSES ONLY FFS!), feel free to contact me VIA AIM. And for those of you that DO play this amazing game, I have a level 28 Battle Mage and a level 25 Dark Elf as of now :D I'm so addicted, and I haven't had a good PC RPG to play since I got bored with Neverwinter Nights!
That is all for now, and as always...

Slight Alterations
Ah yes, it has been sometime since I updated this thing... First off, I'm sure someone has noticed that I moved the navigation links a bit, and now Internet Explorer users don't have to laugh at my poor layout. To the best of my knowledge my website now views correctly in FireFox and IE5+ (except that in IE it is not centered, but I can live with that. Also the re-design leaves a bit of extra space on the sides for those of you on smaller resolutions (even 800x600 users can view most of the content now.)
I am thinking of a new layout, but I am far too lazy to make another one so soon, and I have not found an image I like more than this one from the Good Apollo CD booklet.
Also, it has come to my attention that I have stirred a bit of controversy with my hosting of the highly rare and vastly coveted collection of Coheed/Shabutie/Prizefighter music files. I know it borders on the illegal or at least somewhat sneaky side of the law, but I want all of the die-hard fans to hear the amazing music that Coheed and Cambria made before they were actually Coheed and Cambria. However, if someone does contact me and relays to me the implied legality of having these files up for grabs (for instance if Claudio himself tells me to stop sharing these wonderous files) then I will honor the request, and take them down. All other
. legal actions aside, I would like NOT to be slapped with a lawsuit just for putting these few files on the internet, because the music is for the fans, and my website intends to do just that.
Well that is the end of my pseudo-rant today, if you have any questions/comments/requests/threats of legal action/etc you know where to contact me :D

Coheed and Cambria The Trooper cover
Here it is, sorry it took me so long to locate - this is the live version that Coheed and Cambria is known to play at most live shows they do (its a rough recording, however)
I still can not find the acoustic version I have (its so friggin' awesome) Im sure its somewhere, and Ill post it in a new blog once I find the damn thing.
For now, here is the link:

Checking my web-stats
Yes, upon a thorough look through of my domain's statistics I have found that this site is generating a fair amount of traffic these days. I have also noticed that most of you internet users out there are viewing my website with IE versions 4 through 6; I'm most sorry to all of you users since you cannot view my site properly due to my lazy coding! Hopefully by the time summer rolls around I will have a bunch of time to reform my poor code and make sure all browsers view my site nearly the same. Right now your best bet is to use any version of Firefox, Opera, Konquer, and some versions of Safari. However the formatting errors that occur in most if not all versions of IE do not make the site entirely unreadable, just a bit messy. Again, I am sorry - look for revised content soon.
One more note, I still have the .mp3 downloads up since there has only been 1gig of bandwidth used for those over 2 months, so I guess I am not worried about bandwidth usage.
Oh, and I almost forgot -- I have fixed most if not all of the archived and back linked blog posts, so you can now directly view each individual post instead of just staying at the indexes of each (this is especially helpful to the RSS users and mobile browser users, as well as most Blogging bots and webrings :D )
Thanks to everyone who visits the site, I love seeing all the pretty hits on my many various graphs and charts - it is a good feeling to know that my knowledge is reaching a great many people from all over.

New Coheed Information
It has come to my attention that a string Quartet has redone all of the songs on IKSSE:3 in a classical mood, and it is delicious! Its a must have for any hardcore Co&Ca fan.
Also of interest, I have uploaded a few songs of my own Coheed and Cambria collection - 3 from Coheed and 3 supposedly performed by The Prizefighter Inferno. Have a blast and download them all -- if my bandwidth starts to wane then I will take them down, but for now all is green so download away! :D

Woo hoo, the new layout has been completed
Ah yes, 'tis so shiny. I started with a damn fine scan of a page from the Good Apollo CD booklet, and I went to town on that thing in Adobe Photoshop CS2 & CS1 on 3 different computers until I finally got it just the way I want it!
Any feedback on the new layout/etc would be appreciated, and definitely let me known ASAP if there are broken links or something similarly messed up.
Hope you enjoy the bigger and sexier layout (sorry Internet Explorer users and 800x600 screen resolution users,) both will not be able view the new site very well for it is designed for 1024x768 and Firefox (which are both the most commonly used as I type this) maybe someday Ill make it compatible in IE5+, but really, if you use IE you deserve to be shunned and beaten with a stick of some sort. IE5+ doesn't seem to like my CSS involving the navigation at the top left there, it messes with the vertical spacing creating chaos and black spaces everywhere between the core images of the layout, since I just sliced it, Im guessing the correct spacer gifs need to be implemented, but Im sooooo lazy. :P

Wooo!!!
I had no clue, but some people actually take a look at this site from time to time for information about my favorite Band, Coheed and Cambria!
So, in light of these wonderful people, I will verify my sources and start adding more storyline information to the Coheed section (which is located here.
Maybe I'll find a way to convert it to the same format as this page, what with the commenting back and the blog-styled layout for ease of reading and feedback. :D
Again, thanks to you girls and guys that love my interpretation of the tale of Coheed and Cambria, and a special thanks to Kat for contacting me and informing me that my information is of use. ^.^
Check back next week for (hopefully) a better layout in the Coheed section.

If you haven't heard yet, you may be educationally challenged.
The internet may become more restricted than it already is. I speak of big brother and huge corporations seeking to control every nook and cranny of the internet. We all know a bunch of the internet is shit, but come on, without the shit we wouldn't have all the spiffy and free things we get as kick backs as a result of the 'shit' on the internet. Like torrents. Everyone loves torrents, they are legal (for the most part, haha) and they are easy to get your hands on. With big brother controlling OUR internet, and controlling where WE can go, cool shit like Torrents would be non-existant. We need to rebel quickly to save our rights. As the internet is a virtual 'life' persay, it should hold the same laws and rights as the 'real' world.
To read more you can go here.
Go my friends, rise up and assure the we all get the freedom we deserve.

A Sad Day for Music
The band Juliana Theory has called it quits after 9 amazing years of making stellar music. They have said there are no hard feelings, all 5 of them thought this was the best idea, they have moved on I guess... To read the entire story head over here. I love The Juliana Theory's music. It is full of raw emotion and amazingly deep lyrics. I've gotta say this is a dark day for music, darker than usual. I'll leave you guys with a long quote that I liked from the blog post. ''Considering how rushed we were, we all think that "Love" turned out pretty well. Sure, it certainly could have been better, but songs like "White Days," "Jewel to Sparkle," and "Everything" are some of the best songs we've ever recorded. With this record, more than before, some fans complained that we changed our sound. We know we lost a part of our fan base when that record came out but that's just how it is now. Personally, as fans of music, if a band or artist that any of us loves puts out a record that we don't like, we still stay loyal to that artist and await the next record. Looking around now at the ADD society that we live in, things just are not that way any more. Many kids, especially in the "scene" that we ended up pigeonholed by, don't seem to have the patience or loyalty to stick with an artist if they make a record that is a bit different. Young music fans now are quick to dismiss and disown a band that changes their sound or their ideas. To see an example, just look at the posts on a website like Absolutepunk.net that will be inevitable when this news reaches websites like it. Many young music fans don't seem to believe in loyalty. You can't really blame the kids though. MTV and the fast food generation have made it all too easy to jump from one thing to another without ever looking back.''

A Video Gaming Revolution for me
Ye,s as the title suggests. this morning was a rather epic period in my life where I can say, it gets no better than this. Ever since 1992, I have been a video game nerd. I got my SNES and played the shit out of games like Super Soccer, Super Mario World, Mario All Stars, Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, and etc etc etc. Now, nearly 15 years later it has happened, I have acheived a bit of greatness myself.
I finally hooked up the 8 system switch I got from Pelican, and plugged in my new slim PS2, XBox, GameCube, Dreamcast, Saturn, Genesis, and SNES at the same time. (I of course had my Gamegear and GBSP sitting off to the side like good little handhelds) I had GT4 in the PS2, NFSU2 in XBox, Super Smash Bros Melee in the GC, Marvel v Capcom in the DC, Nights into Dreams in Saturn, Samurai Shodown in Genesis, and of course LoZ: A Link to the Past in SNES. I watched in joy as I flipped though the switches on the box as the title screen of each game appeared on my TV, now of course I am not good enough to play all 7 at the same time, so I turned them all off and played some LoZ to pass the time. Now that everyone knows Im a nerd of the highest class, Ill close this update with a quote showing how much a nerd I really am.

My first update with my new blog-enhanced index page :D
.\\ After a bit of convincing from the Laurels, I decided to integrate "The Blogger" into my index.html (this page!)
It did not take very long, and now I can update my page from any computer connected to the internet, fancy that, technology at its finest. My one gripe with this system is that I am heavily tied to 'the man' now, since my website is now entered into the internet VIA Blogger, and as we all know Blogger is heavily associated with "The Google."
Hopefully the man won't bring me down to his level. Watch back for more spiffy blog-enhanced updates.
PS: The word of the week is 'blog-enhanced'; write that down. tl;dr

.\\ Finally! my desktop did have an older version of my index page, so I got my content back! Score one for me, and take that 'ya fucking internet. Not much else to write about ehre, so I'll leave it at that. Maybe some day I'll get those forums back up, abnd get a blog for this page; then fix the film blog as well...
12.08.05
.\\ Aha an update before the end of the month, INSANITY I TELL YOU! PURE SHENANIGANS! Anyways, not much to report, Im lazy and bored right now, although I SHOULD be studying for that calc Final on Saturday... Either way, meh! The car is doing well, except for the squealing noise when driving in the cold. Hellsing is out tomorrow! I can not wait! As of now I have watched more anime than I ever thought possible. 162 eps of Naruto (patiently awaiting the 163rd), 3 seasons of Initial D (plus one movie and one OAV), 6 eps of Samurai Champloo, and about 60 eps of Rurouni Kenshin. All of that in the past couple of months. I guess watching free fan subbed anime on my 19'' monitor is better than watching pathetic American tv on my television. :D - Well that is all for now, until next time, have a Merry X-mas, a KraZy KawanZa, a Happy Chanukah, and a solemn and dignified Ramadan; and say no to RICE. Also: Fuck ASU, Fuck their parking and transit Department, Fuck Discount Tire Co., and Fuck pronouncing AeonFlux right. (its actually 'E-on', rather than my preferred way of saying 'AY-on')

.\\ Ok so I was not going to do a full news update, but its seems in the 3 days I slacked off on doing
a half-assed update, I accumulated enough going-ons to necessitate a 'real' update. First, I got the
lowering springs on the Grand Am. About a week ago I had totally given up hope on this damn car since
everything seems to be falling apart lately, and I constantly bitch about how much money it is costing
me. However, I did not stop to think that I can just replace each thing that is broken, one part at
a time, slowly but surely and all that jazz. Besides, my car is basically my only hobby, so why not
spend a large percent of my income on the damn thing. So next up is a new set of tires, I'm thinking
225/45R17 Kumho Ecstas. However, I may go with the 215/50R17 since I had a 215mm wide tire on the
stock rims, and looking at those, they are quite wide enough.
Anyways, I'm willing to bet most people don't care about my little Pontiac shitbox, so onto some other
news-y stuffs.
I have come to realize, just now, that people with one hand must really be pissed off. Why? Simply
because one hand washes the other. If you think about it, that lame little cliche is quite correct;
you rub your one hand with your other one, it is nearly impossible to wash one hand by itself.
I know that is horrendously random, but bare with me here, it gets better...
Have you ever wondered why Necrophilia is usually associated with having sex with the dead? Well, necrophilia actually means more broadly 'to have a fondness for corpses or the dead', but today it is always used in reference to raping a corpse.
But if you think about it, since there are necrophiliacs out there, they just LOVE the dead, they are fascinated with corpses for some sick reason. However, if you just chill with a dead person, it isn't that fun; they cant do much, since they are dead. (see where I'm going with this?) -- You can't play chess with a dead person, they cant play chess! They have a physical inability to play a game of chess due to their death.
The only thing a dead person can do is get raped... however, it isn't rape, since they cant say no. See? Its all good...
Now that you most likely think I'm one sick individual, I bid you ado. And don't forget, 12.19.05 the
new Hellsing OVA is released in Japan, so expect those DVDrip torrents to follow close behind :D
10.30.05
.\\ Ah yes, nearly a month later. I may make a habit of this, monthly updates seem to be working out well XD
Anyways, I have been doing a bit of cleaning up around the site, the forums are dead, for some reason the MySQL database shit the bed... I may attempt
to fix that in the near future. My blogs are left half finished since I'm extremely lazy, and b2evo sucks ass.
The car still has 2 different sets of rims on it, lol ricer lol
Uhmm... Also I should have the full tale of the dreaded camping trip up here soon, I just need to resize the pics so I don't get yelled at by slow DSL
users or those few 56kers left out there. So many pics, nearly 100 from one digi cam, not to mention the other sources. So keep your fingers crossed for
that.
That is all for now, happy halloween and don't do drugs. Unless its crack in a can XD
psst, that's an inside joke, psst.

.\\ So that is my bad for not updating in nearly a month, but things are always busy over here and my poor domain gets neglected. I am revamping a few areas of the site, namely the forums, links, and contact info areas. Links are now up, and anyone can link to me, or ask that I like to them, link exchanges are fun :D
In other news, recently I have been working on a few pages that are not my own, a few for work, a few for friends. Etc, etc.
The first of which is ascent-tec.com, as you can clearly see these guys need some major help, yeesh! Not to mention websterperformance.com, these guys have yahoo web hosting, oh noes!!!1!1!11!11!!2
Keep checking those sites as well for updates, since I have some new content and new layouts for each web site, that I hope will go public by the end of this week.
I would like to end this update with some hope for the future, since I am taking nothing but night courses during my next semester at ASU, that will hopefully give me more time during the day to maintain this site.

.\\ Ok, the transfer has not gone smoothly, as some may have noticed, but it is near completion. Also, the forums are beginning to take shape, as well as my blog and php-nuke tools. A lot of spiffy content and shit is on the horizon! And I'm slowly learning how to port forward and use php and mysql. This is nuts.
Also, I just got Neverwinter Nights Platinum, so that will indefinitely slow down my progress. And a big thanks to Laurels for helping me transfer the domain, as well as teaching me so much along the way. Laurels = (Best)^infinity.
09.07.05
.\\ I am currently under going a domain transfer since Name Secure is a subpar service, and Lauren has enlightened my ignorant ways. She has shown me the shiny path to salvation, and it leads right to Influx Web Hosting. These guys kick ass, and I've already partially set up a forum, as well as some other bitchin' new features. Stay tuned for more info. :D
08.28.05
.\\ I have added a bunch of new stuff to the Coheed page, and I have begun putting the various theories and interpretations together, email me or aim me if I left anything out or something... Also, I have begun work on the section of my site for my car. I know there is a great need for pictures on this site, and I shall be getting some soon.
08.27.05
.\\ I finally broke down and got my own domain like all the cool kids... Keep checking back for my awesome random updates and the such...
