YEAH... so.. it's been a while, huh? Sorry about that holmeses... but it's not like you guys ever actually COME HERE. Anyway... things have happened since last time I updated, but none are worthy of your attention. I have made a few changes - well - ONE - I have added a wav link down there on the right. It's Union's show from this year - their musical performance - recorded at BOA Regionals in TEXAS earlier this year. GO THEM! YAY FOR BAND! ... I'm sleepy... NIGHT!

Righto... I solved a few issues last time, but created many, many more. There is a new 3D work down in the Noviceness section, it was me playing with the Bryce 4 program trying to get back into it, seeing as how I haven't done any since school started and I dearly miss it. ALSO - there will be more of these 3D pictures in the future seeing as how my jasc photoshop free trial has ended and has ceased to work - crap. Which also means, that until I get a new photoshop program on here, there will be no more thumbnails - so, temporarily, that reconstruction has been put to a halt.
I don't think the world likes me very much - every thing that can - will, and DOES happen to me... crappola.
Well - that's it for now. Updates: have added a few items to left column, rearranged the order of the recommendations, added a non-thumbnail link to the bryce image under the Noviceness head, ... that's it for today! THANKS FOR COMING BY!!!

You are all in deep trouble.
SERIOUSLY deep.
Why is it that absolutely NONE of you told me you couldn't see my background image before? I COULD SEE IT--why didn't you tell me? You LET this site look like butt for WEEKS and you say nothing to me? Why? - No. I don't want your petty excuses now, it's not worth it. Point is- i fixed it anyway... there are a few OTHER issues now, but that's to be expected when I rock and you don't... Okay I'm sorry, you rock, too.
But seriously, why didn't you tell me? I thought it rocked ALL this time - and you all remained SILENT... It hurts... a lot...
Okay, so a few changes are in the works - I am making separate gallery pages for now, links with THUMBNAILS cause i'm just that good. It might take me a bit to get them all right and working, so just bare with me and tell me lies - tell me sweet little lies.
My brother has also brought to my attention some formatting issues - I am beginning to think he's the only one who ever comes to my site... now I know who my real friends are... or brother is... err...
I don't know if it bothers you, but the fact that the "tab" and the "space" are inconsistent on this page is driving me bonkers. That's just a little summat I noticed. HAVE YOU ANY COMMENTS? PLEASE, TELL ME-I NEED TO KNOW! I NEED TO FEEL NEEDED! ...(pout)...

"ALL --- THAT --- JAaaAAZZ!"
Yes, the rumors are true. I AM listening to Chicago right now. Aaaah... muuUUUuuusic! You know, when I first saw Chicago in the theater, I was a bit skeptical about how the show was going to go - - that is, until the room went dark, the screen went black, and that lovely, lovely trumpet broke in to initiate the mood. I sat there, mesmerized in the first second, and said out loud "Now THAT is an OPENING!" That trumpet just kills me every time - and not just that, I truly enjoy the soundtrack, all of the jazz, GOTTA' LOVE IT! Oh yah, the movie is pretty good, too...
So today is a day. Wow. Mindblowing, I know. It's Wednesday and I actually woke up and got dressed this morning before heading to class(!?!). Go figure! No, seriously, I woke up two and a half hours before class, took a shower, DID MY HAIR, MAKEUP, and DRESSED UP? My class is at 8:30 in the morning, right - I usually wake up at about 8:10 and run to class in my pajamas or whatever is within arms reach (my room is pretty small - so that's actually a wide selection of attire). This morning, however, was MONOLOGUE MORNING! WOOO! I hadn't actually done a monologue for a class before - it was an experience, for serious! Well, actually it was a duet - but either way - it was an experience! My friend and I were probably the most dressed up act there, but that's okay - it was fuuuuuuUUn! We were also the only group that didn't once refer to their scripts> BUWAH! Oh yah - nice.
Remember that fire I told you about? RIGHT - because someone out there is trying to kill us, we cannot enter our dorms without our keys or I.D. on hand! I mean, not just at night, but ALL THE TIME! No other dorm has that sort of lockdown situation going on right now! IT ANNOYS THE POONTANG OUT OF ME... WHATEVER THAT IS! IF YOU ARE OUT THERE ARSONIST - know this: I WILL DESTROY YOU! that's all i have to say on that matter.
WEIRDNESS- I ran into an old friend of mine today - or we were friends throughout elementary school until 8th grade - that summer he moved far, far away. Anyway, I had seen him twice on campus before, but he was a ways away - like...10 feet...okay that's not a lot - but enough to be far enough away for me to remain in my position and argue with myself whether or not that's the guy I remember or not. Today, however, there was no doubt: it was one and the same. Isn't that strange how people you never thought you would meet or see again just pop in when you least expect it?
Which reminds me of the time... you all know what I'm talking about... Santa Monica Pier... oh lordy... that was sad... and pathetic...
I'm not going to deliver this tale to you just yet - for I have to return a movie and a game to Hastings - - but maybe... one ... day...
20 OCTOBER, 2003
Hello all! I have added a few pictures to the gallery under the heading "DAY WITH THE LOUNGE." I must explain, for I feel the need to do so. The day of the fire (there was a fire in my building - apparently someone thinks it funny to burn the honors students... most recent news: arson), I spent a few hours hanging out at a friends dorm trying to get ahold of my gramma to come pick me up so I could take a shower and so on. It was a terrible day, but apart from that, the most interesting part of it was the three hours I spent alone in my friends' lounge (they were tired and I didn't want to disturb them with my phone calling and things). I did get bored after a while... but that's to be expected... So after a while of trying to entertain myself with building a fort with the couch cushions I decided that every great day out people usually take pictures to remember the amazing fun of the day. So that in the future they can look back on a cloudy day to a time when they were happy, a single day of simplistic joy. That's why I have taken the aforementioned photos: to remember what a wonderful time I spent with the lounge of fifth floor Drummond. Good times... Good times...

Welcome back my homies.... homies of homies... and stuff. I have changed the background, solved the formatting issues, and added some pictures to the gallery. I'm thinking about splitting them up in the future - we shall see.
This weekend is the weekend of my university's football Homecoming, which should excite me, but it doesn't really. I mean, I am excited about the floats and the crazy stuff out on the lawns of the frat houses, but I have no feeling for our football team as of yet. I'm sorry, I just haven't progressed from my previous football experience (never losing a game and having to go to all of them) to my present football situation... Not necessaily the most exciting of games. BUT -- I don't expect that to last. One day, while I'm sitting here, I may realize that I DO have school spirit. However, that day may be oh so far away...
Stuff is still stuff - things change, as they always do. Do you ever get the distinct feeling that something is just SUCKING AWAY YOUR SOUL? Okay, I know a specific holmes who understands that - but if you are out there I HAVE JUST REALIZED MY IDENTITY AND ALL MY PERSONALITY IS BEING SLOWLY DRAWN FROM ME LIKE ONE WOULE DRAW BLOOD, and I FEEL FOR YOU MAN! Is there any cure for that? I don't think there is, but if there were I am sure it would involve dancing and playing Rummikub with a living tamborine... Chances are, in my case, the tambourine would win. WELL - that's enough for now, I'll probably be feeling better tomorrow, or by the next time I post. Sorry if I'm being annoying or... whatever... Just remember this is MY site...

Okay, I must explain something, here. The picture above, unless you are familiar with my prior professional art tutelage, you probably will have no idea why that castle is in the picture...or the...uhh.. hamster.. or smilie face... and then monty python... err.. right.. Back to the castle - I recently found several photographs of this particular one, Eilean Donan on Loch Duich in Scotland, that blew my mind when I saw them. I wasn't looking for them, I just happened onto a site that had several professional photographs of different locations around the world. It is the very same castle that I created in my last landscape many years ago. Soon after completing it, I may have started another project, but it did not last long as I ended up not returning to the school for the next season. That piece had meant a lot to me at the time, and since then it has been somewhat messed up (it was in pastels and had not been framed or even well protected), but not to such an extent that I couldn't sit down and do some serious fixing and salvaging and bring it back to a state of semi-healthiness..as far as a pastel landscape will go...
Anywho - I just wanted to explain that little bit, or else it might have come off as a tad bit odd...wait a second... this is me... of course it's going to be odd.. that's all I am and do.. shucks..
Unfortunately, I did get some feedback from a few people.. two... two of the three (apart from myself) who know this place exists.. Okay - so I haven't received any bad feedback...and let's not start...Although I did get a response from my cousin, who happens to be colorblind, along the lines of not being able to see certain text on the page - and the fact that while I have a super wide screened laptop - most people have a smaller resolution therefore making the page that appears perfectly fitted on my screen comes off all over your screen and you guys have to scroll around and stuff.. right. That just sucks. ... . ... okay okay - - I AM SORRY ABOUT THAT- really, I am. As I said before - this site is a work in progress and I will try in the future to aid requests like that of my cousin... unfortunately the remark was made after 9:15 in the morning, therefore his request is denied. The regular site comment hours are between whenever I say so, and when I say not (mind you, that can vary from day to day - or mood to mood - so WATCH YO'SELVES!).
Thankyou for your business and so on and such. La da dee. La da die.

Welcome all to the newly arrived (and still under construction) site of the Skunnerpish. I will be adding many more features in the near future, but for now, what you see will just have to do! I apologize if there is anything on the page that is difficult to read, I would like your feedback on this and any other issues you have with the page: it's actually a test of your loyalty - SO DON'T MESS IT UP! - Is it possible to reply without being shamelessly torn down? ... We shall just have to find out, won't we...
I plan to add more links in the future, perhaps a place where you, my visitors, can take a wee gander at things that I have created here on my handy-dandy computer, and maybe elsewhere ... if I ever acquire the technology... Anyway, just so you know, there are plans in development for this here fella', and any comments you all may have will be appreciated. Chances are, if you are visiting here you already know me, so you know how to reach me. - - If not, I will soon be providing those means as well.
