| I'm back in NYC, my fourth year of college out of five. Earlier today I was thinking about when I posted on snowspot.net during the summer program at SVA. Looking back, I was pretty funny! Sadly, I've not gotten any funnier since. I remember being kind of chubby and walking around the city all by myself. I thought people were checking me out, I don't know why, I was actually pretty large. Makes me realize how self-conscious I've become after losing the weight. Now I get all paranoid if my hair looks fucked up, like people are watching from afar and thinking "look at that kids hair, wtf is he thinking?!". I know that's not actually happening... but that doesn't seem to change anything. I was a big loner those days.. I really didn't hang out with anyone. You could probably tell from how frequently I posted, for a while I was doing it every couple days. The year before the summer program I had started taking Aderol and that made me unable to talk to anyone really. I'd look at people with blank expressions because I didn't know what to say. Luckily I started realizing this and just stopped taking it all together, my mom didn't seem to notice. I went off of it when I went to the SVA summer program and that was when everything started to change, kind of. I made friends with the people in my group...and I didn't have friends in high school, so this was a really weird experience. I didn't understand why people didn't think I was a freak or a loser. I was surprised when attractive girls actually talked to me instead of giving me a strange look. That's when I started to lose weight too. I started walking around NYC everyday, mostly going to chinatown and buying vcd's. Chinatown is the best place to escape...although recently people from other boroughs are there in a much higher volume. Well I'm here again, so there you go. Go me. :-I |

| Future wii titles: Wii Doctor - Search a health database of symptoms any time you are sick. As default, any ailment is a warning sign of cancer. The revolutionary "ailment level" system will warn a wii owner when they are sick, it will do this by ringing after the wii has finished processing the players wii health exam, these are taken each day and uploaded to amazon.com for personalized advertising(SCORE!It's all about me!). Upon answering the phone (Pressing A and shaking in a circular motion for some reason) the player will hear some of the following phrases: "You probably have cancer" "Your leg is probably swollen because the cancer is cutting off it's blood supply" "A bloody nose is usually the final stage of cancer approaching" "You're going to die...wii health upgrade available on wiiware, possible cure information..free plastic pokeball with upgrade(pokeball comes in 8 months...if the cancer hasn't finished you off...)" Wii Water-Hose - An "enhanced" wii animation test. Only $19.99, spray a hose at various objects. A tree, a cute doll, a hidden pokeball(OMG secrets), and a host of unlockable random objects, some inserted for nostalgia value to make up for shallow gameplay(oops did we say that?LAAWLZ). Spray the hose as much as you want, unlimited playtime, online gameplay disabled. Wii-look at someone's feet - Be foot-doctor for a day, search for crack,abrasions, burns, someone might get an infection and you could prescribe them creams...if you were a real doctor...but you're not yet. So you just inspect the feet..it's only 8 bucks, I'll throw in a pikachu pencil..deal? Wii- laundry - IT's time for the spin cycle! The race is on to clean as many loads of laundry as possible! Wii laundry's realism is unmatched as a load of laundry will actually take 45 min to wash and 35 to dry. Unknown to the player, behind the scenes a whole lot of physics is happening in the laundry machine, trust us. Water Molecules...air...stuff is getting dry. All this happens with the wii's extremely powerful internal gecko processor, Shigeru Miyamoto says "it's the gift that keeps on giving, we might use it in wii 2" and finally Wii-wii - Play with an interactive 3d wii system using your own wii system... Through the online store you can buy furniture and clothes, and cute little duck things that squeak when you click on them (aww). These are all put in your own personal wii-room. You can buy tons of stuff! You should! OMG ITS CUTE! Seriously. You can even buy wii games for your 3d wii system and play them on a really tiny screen, if you squint it kind of looks like 480i. |

 Oh man, what has he gotten himself into :P On Saturday, last week, my friend Ryan Lambourn (MasterPigpen) submitted V-TECH RAMPAGE to newgrounds.com. Obviously a title like that is going to be noticed....and it's going to shock a few people. Well, that all happened and now he's on the news and all over the net. Here's a link to the game: V-Tech Rampage I'm not going to say anything about the game, since he is my friend. I will say that I wish he had gotten the same publicity for works that I felt had more merit than this. That's it :D |

| It's been a crazy few months as I switched back to SVA after going to Purchase for a semester. I love being at the school but I have like 3 friends here, so it kinda blows. Purchase was great because I had tons of friends there. It was weird, yesterday I was sitting at my computer watching a really funny show and I was thinking to myself: "I should show this to someone, they'd think it was hilarious" but then I realized I don't have anyone in the city to call. Wah-wahhhhhh. Hopefully it's worth it, Reboot 8 is almost done and it's going to surprise some people. Beyond that, I've been working on some scripts and reading a lot. Just a lot of boredom. There are people I could hang out with but I don't want to date anyone now...and if I hang out with them, I'm pretty sure they'll be under that impression. That sounds weird but I guess you'd have to be in that situation to understand it. I'll update more soon, when Reboot 8 is finished I expect a traffic boost to the site, hopefully I can do something to make that traffic worthwhile! See ya |

| New Wacom tablet! New LCD TV for duel-screen editing!(!) LASIK eye surgery so I can actually see! New noise-cancelling headphones Nintendo Wii(counted as an x-mas gift >:-o) It was a good year and a good haul. Hopefully this new tablet will kick Reboot up a notch, I'm doing a drug sequence in it and it's pretty damn weird so far. I'm excited to show of the new episode, it's 5 min along. Hope everyone had a good x-mas. Jan 1st is coming up, you know what that means! My birthday, hopefully this year it won't suck...well...every year it sucks so I don't see that happening. Woo. |

I was checking old stuff on the site today and I saw that I've been doing this site for around 6 years now. Don't believe me? Take a look at the archives, I remember I got hosting right before x-mas of 02'. It's strange looking back at old posts and reading stuff that I don't remember happening. It also makes me miss those days were I could spend all day trying to think of things to put on my website. Now I'm usually either in class...or doing REBOOT...so maybe things haven't changed THAT much. I did seem much more well-spoken back then though. Damnit. I need to read more. Maybe I should do an old-school update for old-times sake.  Gears of War Can you say, "best online console experience ever"? This is the best online videogame I have ever played. I've played probably over 100 hours since I bought it. If you have a 360, ignore the hype...just buy the game! And also like "old-times" I will end this post abruptly because I'm too lazy to type anymore.... PEACE |

Stuff is going ok these days but I'm becoming more and more unsure about Purchase as it wears on...check the meantime if you want to read more. |

T1 line connect intersect, riding brain waves like Silver Surfer, weightless, modem in hand. Perforating sounding source, I get metaphysical... Industrial toxic fumigation, symmetrical color resorts on the expressway serve you a skull piece. Rapid pattering of the Houston Astrodomes in the form of the cats and the dogs defogging the mind's eye's views in the never-ending quest for "chillin." Just call me Minnie. Out the bar eyes lace interwined, offer room service. Nervous inflections likes chips in the metaphysical landscape... Apocalyptic fusion equips secondary thought processes.

| Check this link out http://www.maxconsole.net/?mode=news&newsid=7586 I did that video on the left. To explain, the PS3 is going to cost $600 for the full version and $500 for the tard version. That's insane. You know how just tax is for that? $48! That's how much! Plus, then you have to buy games for $60, controllers for $40...by the time you get out of the store you've almost spent a grand. Anyway, each year there is a big press event in L.A. called the E3 conference. All three major console developers (Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo) have press conferences and allow the press to play many games and systems before they are released. Sony's press conference went really bad. They started the conference by showing off games that everyone had pretty much already seen. They revealed the "new" controller, which was basically the same one that has been around for the last decade. EXCEPT they took out the rumble. They explained that they added in gyroscopes into the controller. Nintendo's new console, called the "wii", is based on the fact the controller has gyroscopes in it. So Sony basically copied Nintendo AGAIN. First with the rumble pack-->dual shock 2 controller. Then Sony stole analog stick from the N64 controller and put two analog sticks on the Dualshock and PS2 controller. So,regardless it was really obvious they copied Nintendo again. I mean checkout the PS2 controller compared to the SNES controller.
So Sony's show was a bust and even hardcore Sony fans are considering not buying the PS3. I was planning on getting one but not after the price was announced, this video was just to illustrate my frustration. |

 Cello or in Korea - Chello hongmijoo ilga salinsagan. This one really surprised me, the story starts out pretty mundane. It centers around Mi-ju, a temporary Cello instructor. She lives with her sister, husband, and two children. Her sister's husband is away in Manhattan on business. Soon, Mi-ju's husband hires a new housekeeper, this is when things start to get weird. This is the set up. I really don't want to spoil any of it, as it's all more interesting to digest. The imagery is pretty crazy in the film, especially considering what was probably a very small budget. Although sometimes the story can be confusing, everything sort of adds up at the end of the film. What's funny is that the Cello isn't really evil or anything, that isn't really the story at all. Great ending though, I would say check it out just for the ending. I give it ****/***** |

| A List. Veronica Mars Downloaded the first season and have pretty much been hooked. Spoilers ahead. The first season all centered on the death of one girl, and was an ongoing mystery for the season. I love the storytelling path that the writers follow. Hints are given in earlier episodes, that end up paying off later in the season. Watching the season without commercials or any interruptions really enhanced the viewing I think. Check out the DVD. Lost This show had me scared the first three episodes. I really didn't think it could get out of it's slump. The episodes had gotten so slow, and really didn't reveal anything. We found out what was in the hatch but it isn't really explained. Thankfully, since the first spotting of the others, the story is finally picking up. I am, however, scared for Lost in the future. I feel like we are never getting answers, there are so many things we need to know, and I think it will be spread out over many seasons. 1. What are the numbers? 2. What happened to the back of the plane 3. What happened to Walt? 4. Who stole Walt? 5. What's the French Woman's story? 6. What's the deal with the Island? 7. What's with the monsters? 8. Why did a Polar Bear attack them? 9. What actually happened to the plane? 10. What exactly is Oceanic Air? I can think of a million more...and that's the problem. Can all these be answered by the end of the series? How many years do I have to wait to understand what exactly is going on? It feels like I'm watching a movie and this is still the first half an hour. I want to know more about the island than the characters back stories. When they go back to the past, it takes away all the tension, you are no longer in the moment with the character. Hopefully things will pick up a little more, I'm intrigued but they really have to surprise me if they want to keep me interested. The Office (US Version) What an awesome show. They really did an amazing job bringing this to America. It manages to come in to it's own, but still retain the feeling of the original UK series. One of the best shows on TV by far, hopefully it won't get cancelled. The OC As much as I hate to admit it. The OC is one of the most enjoyable shows on TV. Pretty much a guilty pleasure, but the plot concerning the parents helps elevate the series above other teen shows. Watching it back to back, you can see that a lot of things happen in a short period of time. It's pretty good, overcome the anti-hype and check it out. It's pretty good. Arrested Development This show was cancelled. If you don't know about it, stop reading my webpage. This show was the best thing on TV. If you didn't watch it...go buy both seasons on DVD. You won't regret it. Attack of the Show It's like they made this show just for me. Everything about the show, I like. It's like X-play without those annoying homemade video interludes. I don't have to watch a skit of Adam being an idiot. The show is great, the hosts are amazing, and it's the best show for a technerd or gamer. Check it out. G4TV. The Colbert Report Steven Colbert almost outdid Jon Stewart. This is the best show on Comedy Central, in my opinion. Not only is it consitently funny, I find myself hysterically laughing every episode. What more can you ask for. It's political humor, so you can't be stupid if you want to enjoy it. Basically Steven Colbert does his best O'Reilly impression and pulls it off better than I could have imagined. If you are against Bush, you'll love this show, it cuts through the bullshit. Colbert's character is a constant reminder of the close-mindedness of the Right, and most importantly Fox News. The Daily Show Consistently funny. Always has been, always will be. I remember I used to watch Craig Kilborn way back in the mid-90's. Back then this show was just as funny as it is today. Shows that used to be here: Desperate Housewives What the hell happened to this show? IT's so weird now, it's lost all it's character, it's all about situation. I find it so hard to root for characters I don't really like anymore. The Apprentice Donald Trump kicks off four contestants in one show. Is it a marketing ploy? Of course it is. The Martha Stewart Editing just got cancelled because of low rating. I'm going to go ahead and guess that Donald Trumps version isn't doing to well either. Maybe that's why so many people are getting kicked off. I think it was 7 people in three weeks. I'm predicting more people will be kicked out at the same time. Watching the Martha Stewart version, two people were kicked off at the same time. I think I see some sort of pattern going on. By the time this was filming, most likely, the episodes airing now were filmed when both series premiered. After premiering to low numbers (which they did), the show realized it's not going to last long. So both told Stewart and Trump to start booting people early. To cut down the episode count. That's my guess. Take it or leave it. X-play Skits...not funny....must...kill...self....please....start...reviews... That sums it up. _________________________________________________________________________ Check this shit out |

Jon is back for a while, time to rejoice, summon the midgets...woo. Haven't been buying much, I'm broke and I'm a film student, if that wasn't bad enough... I don't have a job either. I usually eat a lot of oatmeal cause it's cheap and fills me up. Not sure why I had a big exposition about my life and oatmeal but I will continue now. 
>I got a PSP a while ago. So here, I wanna make up for it by posting pictures of what I got. I got three games with it too. Mercury, Lumines, and the craptacular wipeout.  Mercury is awesome to look at, it's a puzzle-platformer. You play as a blob of mercury and you have to make it to the finish of each level. That sounds easy but there is a twist, you can split the blob apart. After the blob splits, you can change the color of it. This sounds pretty archaic but it gets complex really fast, pretty soon you've got four different blobs of mercury combining to form a new color, then using that new color to go over a switch, opening up the finish to the level.  Lumines is like crack...I think. It's so addictive, I can't stop playing. It's another puzzle game but more in the vein of tetris. It's got some crazy music and the music also changes depending on how well you are doing. It becomes very addictive trying to unlock new music and get a new high score.  Wipeout is so boring. I know everyone loves it but I really don't. The level's get fast, way to fast and the learning curve is too fast. On top of that it's really a chore to unlock stuff, I unlocked the first two levels of courses and they're just really boring. I guess that's why so many are downloading the level packs off sony's website. Not my cup of tea but I'm sure other's will like it, a lot of time investment however. LEARN HOW TO POWERSLIDE. In other videogame news, Nintendo released images of it's new Revolution console, finally!  That's the controller. It's sorta like a mouse, you use it to control things on screen, but you can do it from far away...like the couch. What's different about this console though, is that you can move the controller forward and back, you can move it anywhere and the console registers it. So you could swing it like a sword and the game could tell OR you could use it like a sniper rifle, wherever u point it, your sniper rifle points, you gotta keep it real steady to hit anyone. Cool huh, it comes with a base unit that looks like a regular controller, you can plug it in to play more traditional games like Super Smash Bros. It's launching when the Nintendo Revolution does, next year. |

| Blah Blah Blah I'm broke. The only things I bought recently were the first season of scrubs and the updated Twilight Zone series. Scrubs is amazing, I didn't realize it at first but what a smart show. I'm excited to go back to the city. Only a 10 days left until I move into the apartment. This whole apartment thing scares me. I've seen how much work my mom had to do, just to get the apartment for me and it makes me wonder if I'm ready for life. I had to do alllllll this stuff. Get my W2 forms and my parents credit, and then we had to get shit notarized. It is all so confusing to me, I would wanna do something like this by myself but I don't know how. I feel like a fuck up basicallly, why can't I do this shit? Probably another one of those damn "life" things. I'll get older and understand what to do, hopefully. I'm looking forward to life away from my parents, sorta away from them doing everything for me. I wanna take care of things on my own, when I want to do it. Finally I won't be woken up at 11 every morning though, that's something to look forward to also. Gunna miss my friends probably...but my new life is in the city...there's no way around it. I remember last year I was sad to leave....but now I don't really care. Everyone has sorta changed, not personality-wise...but friendship-wise. I think we are all a little less closer than we had expected. gotta shower. peace. |

| Updates to come + Nick Nostalgia section + More films for Aspiring Filmmaker + Semi-daily updates for Meantime + Empty house updates sorta regularly The Nick Nostalgia thing is taking me forever. It's basically going to be a new site with reviews of Are You Afraid of the Dark?, Salute your Shorts, and Pete and Pete. Each will have screencaps and an overall score. Let me tell you about Are you afraid of the dark. I didn't realize how hokey it was until I started watching it again. I freaking loved that show when I was young and yeah...it's still got that X-factor, that one thing that still makes some of the things in it scary but you have no idea why. Pete and Pete held up much better. The music and the cinematography and the stories are just great. These people really knew what they were doing. Salute your shorts is still downloading so that will be the last series that I review. That's all for now. |

| So much stuff. Yep. I haven't bought much lately. I'm psyched I finally finished Half-Life 2 though. Friggin masterpiece. The amount of details and just amazing shit that goes on in that game, it just blows my mind whenever I see it. Like when you're running to escape out of this house and suddenly you run into this room. There is this guy who quickly runs to close the door as you come in. The enemy army in the game starts trying to break the door down as this guy holds the door for you, telling you to escape. If you run that's fine, but if you look back you can see him holding it and looking at it and yelling at you to "get the hell out of here". I love that shit. I like when you're in the game and it's not some cutscene to tell the story. Anyway, I've been doing lots of creative things lately. I guess. Not really. I finshed my final film for school and I'm starting to storyboard this new thing I'm thinking about. I can't say anything, cause I don't want people to steal it...I think it could definetly get me into the business if I do it though. Really great idea. Anyway, I'm going to hopefully start work with this wedding video guy in the next few weeks. Then, later, I'll be helping him shoot his film after he finishes the script. I can't wait. |

It's either time travel, or morphing, or something stupid. I just wanna play some mario and stomp on some stuff. Better yet, some zelda, I miss zelda, stupid wind waker ruined it for me for a long time, I don't wanna play as a little boy in a videogame...I wanna play as a man. Nintendumb. |

| I just got Tekken 5...and I suck at it!!! I'm so bad almost everytime I play I wanna throw the control, and I did and the buttons came off...but sadly they worked when I put them back on...so now I have to keep playing. Tekken is almost getting me as mad as metal gear solid 3: snake eater. That game pisses me off, the boss fights are cool but the fact I don't have a radar really ruins my time. There is no way to know where people are and when you find out, you usually end up being seen, so I have to run around instead of fight. My favorite game of the year would have to be....probably burnout 3, that was the only game I'd never get pissed at, no matter how much I sucked at it. It was so fun that my frustration would just make me try harder. No, not tekken though, tekken makes me so angry I wanna hurt people, not just controllers. Fuckin tekken..BAH!  This is pretty much every five seconds in Metal Gear Solid 3.  |

| Well college sucks. I've finally come to that conclusion. I got the roommates that don't clean up after themselves, smoke weed all day, and basically just aren't respectful to me as someone they're living with. Dave is fine, he doesn't bother me. James is cool cause he just keeps everyone happy, Lance I think dislikes me but won't tell me. Joe is a nice guy though, I have lots of respect for him, even if he leaves huge bowls in the sink. I almost died that day cause I used to much ammonia cleaner, my face burned and it reminded me of one time where an old woman scolded me with hot water. That bitch. The stuff burned my nose too, again, like the old woman that scolded me with the hot water. She smelled, like cannabis and pee. Apparently, I'm the only one in my entire school that doesn't smoke. Whenever I go outside I'm accosted by hordes of "unique" art students. "Ohmigod, your name is Artifact? that is the most deep name I've ever heard, lets go draw dead things together." They gather and they swarm new students, praying on their normalness, raping them of their conformity. Job sucks almost as much as school, but more. Most of the people are OK, I don't mind them. The people that are buying stuff at Uno's though always give me a fucking problem when I don't have a booth to seat them at. Shut the fuck up about the booths!!! I got nothing against black people, but if I hear "Yo can I have a boof" I'm gunna go off on someone. On top of the asshole customers, the management thinks it's fun to schedule me for every single day I don't have school. Management: Yay, Jon works every day of the weekend! I woudln't mind if the managers were consistenly nice, or didn't treat me like I was a dumbass. One just tells me what to do whenever he sees me and the other just tells me what I'm doing wrong whenever he sees me. I've already been written up by the new manager because a professional con artist at the front stole some money. He'd done it three times to other people at Uno's but I, am the only one to be written up. It's a beauitful life. SVA sucks, the teachers don't teach. Don't come here. Evil....go to NYU, yeah you have to take stupid math and science courses but at least you don't have to deal with a german teacher talking about lighting in Gernglish. Ugh...this sounds like a rant, but I'm actually just really depressed. peace guys. |

Since I'm working the same amount of days I have school, I pretty much never get a day to myself, it's either school or work. It sucks, I never get to sit around and watch anime, or have a day where I watch movies....just hosting at UNO's and having asshole managers tell me what to do. I just wish my parents wouldn't hassel me about it,no one I know is working right now. I'm not having money problems. Yeah, it's nice to get a check every once in a while, but I'd rather have a memorable year for my first year of college. BLAHH.  PRAISE JEEZUSSSSSSS I've decided to become religious. I'm going to become a priest and say memorable things. Be it Salad or be it Soup, always serve bread. -Jon 4:31 ,...,.., I'm feeling pretty freakish right now. BYE. |

| Today was one of the worst days of my life. For the first time ever, I was hung over. This probably goes on the meantime page but I just updated it so screw that shit. It all started last night when I went to my parents hotel room. I had just finished burning my aunt's wedding video on to a dvd and I didn't shower and I was just pretty smelly. I threw on a polo shirt and Mike and me headed over to the Dumont. When we got there, my dad gave mike the dartboard he got him as a present and we had a few shots. During this time I got really drunk, kind of a bad idea considering I was going to head over to this bar one of my co-workers was bartending at. It was called Boss Tweads and it was on Rivington and Avenue A. When I got there all my co-workers were there and it was pretty fun. I was stupid though, cause I figured I'd get more drunk. So stupid. Leah, the bartender, gave me this drink called seven deadly sins, wasn't too bad. Then I went for a long island Iced tea and I don't remember anything after that point. Which sucks. Mike told me I kept kissing this girl kate I work with and that I had a group hug with her and some guy I hate. Fuckin' A. I can't believe it happened. After we left, Mike told me I got sick and threw up near M2M, and I did. I found the evidence on my pants and my shoes, it was on his shoes too. I woke up this morning and I felt horrible. I drank four cans of soda, one thing of orange juice and a gatorade. I still felt horrible, so I ate a chicken sandwich from lyrics diner. I threw up a little of it, I still felt bad. I watched some TV then I felt sicker so I pooped, I pooped two times for a very long time cause poop kept coming out and it stank, let me tell you. I almost barfed again after I looked at it. Imagine if I had barfed on my poop and then some splashed up at me, wouldn't that be gross? Chunks of poop and chicken flying towards my face and not by my choice. Afterwards my rents called and I had to leave for my relatives and I was still sick. I tried to nap in the car but my dad kept stopping and starting abruptly and I almost threw up. Then when we got to my relatives I went upstairs and slept. It was nice, but then I woke up and a cat was staring at me and I was freaked out. I'm also allergic to cats and since then I've kept getting huge rashes and had to keep scratching myself. I played cards and did really well, then I took a shot cause my dad said if you drink more when ur hungover you'll feel better. I almost threw up again after I took it, then I ate dinner, which I almost threw up at. The lesson I learned today was to never drink again unless you're ready to almost throw up a lot. |

Yeah, some film news going on in the Snowspot part of the site. Ya know, I should really get to updating empty house, cause that shit is getting old. See how I'm talking now? The city is getting to me. Yo, I betta update dat shit yo. Everytime I post I feel like I have to say something like, it's been a crazy week or I'm sorry for not updating. Well, it's been a boring week and suck my dick cause I'm happy I didn't update. I been working at Uno's!  Lots of fat people order shrimp. Sometimes I have to bring stuff to tables to help the waiters, since I just host, and it seems like the really fat ones all get shrimp and some sort of hamburger/mayonaise combo. You can literally hear them getting fatter at Uno's. What's worse is when I have to bring them dessert and there is a problem with it. Not only are they probably already past the 1,500 calorie mark, they have to complain cause there isn't enough chocolate sauce on their pail full of vanilla ice cream. Customer: Uhh yo, dis ain't what I ordered, where's the cool whip? I read it came with cool whip. Jon: I'm sorry, I don't think it does, we don't have cool whip. Customer: Muthafucka betta get me duh cool whip. Jon: Uhhh Customer: Cornbread. Jon: ... Jon walks away quickly zig-zagging. I actually like Uno's. The best part is probably the other waiters, I really get a kick out of them. There's this one really flamey guy named Chris that tells everyone that he's straight but then he goes and starts dancing and singing show tunes. Then there is Dan, who is this ugly bald virgin guy. He is ALWAYS at Uno's, it's sad cause they all make fun of him and he's weird looking. I mostly think it's sad cause he's so weird looking. My managers are all pretty cool, my favorite probably being Ted. Sal is O.K. but almost too friendly sometimes, he also forgets to change the schedule when I request days off. One time I was in the bathroom and Sal came in, he knocked on the stall three times then stuck his penis in a whole near the door. Just kidding. haha. Roger will read that and laugh, I hope. It was mad fun going to UB, getting high err drunk. Two really nasty chicks up there though. This one girl had a face like a dog, it looked like she'd been tanning since she was born and her face was all starting to mush together, sorta like she was a snake shedding it's outer layer. I think she should start peeling herself. Maybe her roommates will wake up one day and just find the shell of her. Just wanna remember this drink combination,, I wanna put down "A Loose drink" which is a shot of 151, a lot of powdered sugar, three pieces of KFC, and one ice cube. That's all, enjoy...stuff. |

| Here's a few things that I've purchased in the last few weeks. DVD's:  Dinner for Five This show is really interesting and funny. All the different stars that sit at the table and talk really creat an interesting show. I can't wait until season 2 comes out. Harry Potter and the Prizoner of Azkaban One of my favorite movie series. Not only is this one the best in the series, I feel it's also a very well-done movie in general. The way things are shot and the lighting is really really great.  Saved! Christians should watch this. Jesse Kotin.  Star Ocean Good game, kinda boring, good fighting.  Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas Great game but I'm only halfway or maybe even a third of the way through. There is quite a bit of swearing, and the N-word. N-word Please! N-word, you crazy! N-word go clean yo-self with a wash towel. Stuff like that. |

| It's been a long couple weeks here with a slim amount of updates, how it is when you're busy I guess. I've been partying and going to class and there hasn't been a whole lot of time to sit down and type a couple hundred words. Now that I have time to do it, I'm doing it, so be happy. First I'm going to list what pisses me off about this college, the follow-up will be what pisses me off about my classes, next what pisses me off in general, followed by what makes me want to piss. --College Anger-- Not many things piss me off as much as college rules. Ya know what? I'm fucking 18, I'm an adult, I can buy porn, so respect me. Yeah, maybe that doesn't mean much to you but when I can go to the shop down the street with black windows, and buy "In Through the Out Door", I feel pretty damn mature. 1. The security guards piss me off the most. Everytime I walk in the school they ask for ID. It makes me think of RIT and how easy it was to get in there, I didn't have to worry about anything since each students dorms were in seperate buildings. 2. Shitty cafeteria. The SVA cafeteria is the worst place I've ever eaten. I spend more than most people do to get in this school, and yet our food service is worse than the deli across the street. It's all fried food and hamburgers. SUCKS! 3. The kids sitting outside smoking at 3am. These fucks.*In my best effeminate man voice* "Randy, I think me and Debra are going to smoke outside, we're wicked drunk after our wine coolers and we just need to chillax and take a drag, ciao! OMG lets take our cellphones and call our friends from back home while we're there! Yeah, seriously, like, this college is awesome. I hope Stacy is there, we like listening to Bjork and Moby, I'm so happy I can be an individual at this school, Woot." Those were just a few complaints but they are bothering me the most. The kids outside having the most impact because I have to walk by their dumbasses everyday. --Class Asswipage-- 1. Teachers that don't teach. One of my teacher's doesn't actually teach anything, all he does is tell us what to do, then send us off with no direction. It really stinks, I'm not getting my money's worth in this area. So, I'm trying to finish assigments now and it's getting hard cause no one else knows what's going on either. 2. Busy work. Another thing I hate is when the teacher assigns us something that has no redeeming value. The other day in intro to film, we had to load the camera's all class. I knew how to, so I did it once then sat around for 2 hours. Well I didn't actually, I skipped out cause I was getting so angry. I asked my classmates what we did and they told me "nothing". Hmmph. --General Piss-off-age-- 1. NYC prices. 2.69 for a 2 liter bottle of soda? Suck my dick you faggoty deli prick. The prices suck here. $6 bucks a shot for vodka. Come on, it costs $20 bucks a glass. Groceries aren't too bad, but most everything else is overpriced. --Makes me want to piss-- 1.Lemonade 2.Water 3.Tennis |

 Weird movie from a weird director, pretty darn distburbing I might add. Nothing bad happens in it really, what is disturbing is the children's toys that are used for the characters.  Before people start making fun of me, I'd like to say this was one of the best scripts in 2004. I've never seen a teen movie where the writing is so smart and witty and the characters so well-developed in such a short amount of time.  Haven't watched it yet, I will tell you how it is when I have. Games:  This game is so weird an awesome, for only 20 bucks. You roll around a big ball sucking up everything you come into contact with. Everything sticks to your "katamari" as you roll around a large city somewhere in Asia. Really fun stuff. I recommend getting this before it goes out of print, and believe me, it will. |

| Here it goes. Movies:  Visitor Q Fucked up little movie from Takeshi Miike. In the opening scene a father has sex with his daughter, the scene is very graphic, I don't see why anyone would want to film this. I doubt in America this would ever make it past the script phase. Videogames:  Burnout 3 The most fun I've had with a videogame in a long long time. Crash mode is awesome. You get to pick a car and a road. When you're on this road you have to crash into as many cars as you can to rack up points. The great thing about this is how cinematic it is. Instead of focusing on your car the entire time, the camera pans to other crashes as they happen. The chaos and mayhem is so addicting, so is accumlating new points, cars, and courses. The online mode is a great addiction, although it was hard to break through the college's server's firewall.  Silent Hill 4: The Room So far this silent hill seems to be the accessible to the average game player. There aren't many puzzles and it's much more action-oriented. I'm really not that far into the game but I really enjoy the story. Of course, the voice-acting of the main character is pretty bad. Here's an example: *The phone rings and the main character picks it up* "Hello?" *disturbing noises* "Is someone there?" *the phone goes silent* "Hello?" There isn't much else the scriptwriter could put, I imagine, but it's still pretty stupid to hear. Look to the meantime to see my crazy bar antics. |

Here we go:  Really great film, the ending leaves a bit to be desired and the whole narrative is a little iffy but the cinematography and the music are incredibly redeeming. This film was written and directed by Roman Coppola, brother of Sophia Coppola(Lost in Translation, The Virgin Suicides) and son of Francis ford Coppola (duh).  I told you the music was great, and it really fucking was! All the music on the soundtrack was done by this little-known band called Mellow. It sounds a lot like french stuff from when the movie takes place and it really sets a mood of bitter-sweet happinness. This is all for now...I'm in college. Chinese Clothes Folding Video!

Something a bit different today. Recently I read about J.J. Abrahms doing a new TV series. The show was pitched to ABC and called "The Lost". It centers around about 45 people stranded on an island after their plane crash lands. I got my hands on the pilot episodes of the show and I gotta say, Wow.  Oh yeah, if you didn't realize this review will be somewhat SPOILER HEAVY. So if you wanna go in without knowing anything, and I would recommend that, don't read anymore. Spoiler's Ahead: The show starts with one of the main characters, Jack, waking up after the plane crash. He hears the ocean and screams and makes his way to the shore of the island.  The scenes on the beach are some of the best chaotic scenes I've seen on any kind of media. The screaming and the confusion and the horror is just so pristine. When I saw it, it really made me scared for these characters, you really feel what it might be like to be in that situation. We see most of the characters from the crash, but there are many, I think I read an article saying there are 45 survivors.  The first episode is very well done in fleshing out certain characters but also leaving them with a bit of mystery. A very big surprise comes about halfway through the episode, although it is eluded to in a certain way, you really won't see it coming when it does.  I'm posting all this in hopes that people that read it tune in to watch it. TV shows like this need to be applauded and watched, unless of course you want to just watch reality shows for the rest of your life. Show's like Alias, Boomtown, and 24 are all so well done, and the fucking idiotic American public don't watch them. They tune into Survivor and Who wants to marry my dog. It's bullshit. Support creativity, watch The Lost on ABC,September 22nd. Peace. |

| I was watching this show, Boomtown, I bought the DVD and I was wondering what the chances of dying were..since we see so much of it on television. The chances may be higher or lower than what you might think. I was kinda startled by how many people die a year and how likely it is. The Chances Vehicle Being hit and killed by a car: 1 in 608 Being hit and killed by a car while on a bike: 1 in 4,663 Dying in a car crash: 1 in 247 Dying as a passenger in a car crash: 1 in 988 Kind of amazing how we created this thing, the car, to get us places and it turns into one of the leading causes of death in America. Accidents Dying from a fall: 1 in 246 Being squished between two objects: 1 in 31,836 Being killed by a fireworks accident: 1 in 615,488 Drowning: 1 in 1,126 Burned alive: 1 in 1,116 Being killed by a venomous animal: 1 in 60,540 Death caused by forces of nature: 1 in 3,357 -Lightning: 1 in 83,930 -Earthquake: 1 in 131,890 -Storm: 1 in 68,388 Accidental posioning(alcohol,narcotics,sedatives, gases): 1 in 262 More drowning victims than I would have thought, lots of people die because of poisoning too I guess.... stupid kids. Suicide: Self-poisoning: 1 in 711 Suffocation: 1 in 596 Firearms: 1 in 219 I guess people want it fast and painless... Assault Firearms: 1 in 325 Sharp Object: 1 in 1,874 Other: 528 Legal Intervention Firearms: 1 in 11,433 Legal Execution: 1 in 58,618 So, I think that means that you're only five times more likely to be shot by a cop, than to be executed. I guess maybe the police don't shoot as many bad guys as we think. Or something, I don't know. I got all my data from The National Safety Council I think it's pretty accurate, at least I'm guessing. Those estimates are from someone's entire life, not a year, the yearly statistics make the chances much lower. You probably aren't going to get hit by a car if you read this. Since I get 200 unique hits a day, and only 608 people die in an entire lifetime from being hit by a car, chances are that whoever is reading this, will not get hit by in the car in the next year, and likely not in their entire life. In four days of visitors only 1 will be hit by a car and die. Just thought I'd make everyone's day :-d |

| ROUND-UP: I buy so much shit it's ridiculous. CHECK IT OUT! DVD's Purchased:  Curb Your Enthusiasm: Season 1 One of the best shows on television, the first season was great in setting up Larry and his wife, they have incredible chemistry. Fucking hilarious though. Larry: So we asked you to cater, and you took all our food home? Well we'd like it back. Caterer: I'm not sure if it made the trip. Larry: Where did you come from the Sudan? What do you mean it didn't make the trip?  Curb Your Enthusiasm: Season 2 The second season is just as good as the first. What was really cool was seeing the characters from Seinfeld again. Jason Alexander and Julia Louis-Dreyfuss are great as actors trying to get on with their lives after a hit show.  Grave of Fireflies Really sad and depressing movie. I'm getting more and more into Anime and I will probably earn the label "Otaku" which is a teenager obsessed with Anime. The ladies love the Otaku's I hear.  Ninja Scroll This movie is so gory and sexual, it was great. Not only was the animation really crisp but the story was great. There are eight different fighters that the wandering drifter must fight. If he doesn't fight them he will die. The people he fights are just awesome. There is one guy with a bee's nest on his back that can control bees, so during the film a horde of bee's suddenly descend on the fighter while he is recouperating. The music during this scene is so chatoic and got me so pumped, action done correctly.  All in the Family: Season 3 Ahhh, All in the family. I love this show, it's one of the best sitcoms ever created, it's up there with Seinfeld. Archie Bunker is one of the most hilarious characters ever created. If you haven't seen this show, you have to watch it, his liberal use of the words "fag" and "gook" should be enough. Remember, this was made in the 70's and aired on CBS.  Blood: The Last Vampire 45 minute movie chronicling a halloween party gone horrible wrong near a military base. Demons attack a school nurse and a mysterious female vampire warrior slays them. It's incredibly animated but incredibly short. The ending is left open, too open. I wouldn't recommend it for non-anime fans.  R.O.D.: Read or Die This was kind of an odd thing to see. It was an anime series that lasted only three episodes but it never actually aired on TV, so one has to ask himself, why is it split up? Why not just a movie? I have no idea, it's the crazy Japanese I guess. The characters are awesome. There is "The Paper" that can manipulate paper into whatever she wants, a sword, a spear, a giant shield. Mrs. Deep, who can move through any solid surface with ease. The fight scenes, as you can imagine from the superpowers, are pretty fucking cool. The character development is lacking though. Movies Seen:  Napoleon Dynamite This movie was hilarious. There is absolutely no story and really no development of the plot...but there doesn't need to be. It's basically a an hour and a half long skit. "GOSH!" "CAN I SEE YOUR PIN?" "I MADE LIKE INFINITY OF THOSE AT SUMMER CAMP"  Bourne Supremacy I didn't see the first one but the car chase is worth the price of admission. Matt Damon is defintely a badass in the flick. Worth admission price.  Farenheit 911 The controversy really annoys the fuck out of me but this movie is an incredibly movie. It's not just the fact it's shocking to see what the Bush Administration has done, but because of the film techniques used. There were times I would jump almost because something shocking would come on the screen out of nowhere. The first 5 minutes of the film is really disturbing but not because anything sick is on screen...it's just...I can't explain it. I don't agree with every point in the film but it's a great flick.  Anchorman This film was great go see it, that's all I have to say. "I ate a big red candle!" "I'm going to punch you in the ovaries!" CD's Purchased:  Franz Ferdinand Pretty great so far, what a sweet band. That was far too long a post. Peace. |

| I'm in NYC right now...but here are some things. Music: I found this while searching for music, it's a song from the upcoming and long-delayed Fiona Apple CD. It's pretty catchy but also really odd. You can tell Jon Brion produced it, it sounds like a movie. Extraordinary Machine Movies:  Ichi The Killer Takashi Miike is the king of violent cinema in Japan. He creates up to four movies a year. I have yet to see Citizen Q, which is supposed to be pretty disturbing, I saw Audition, you can check in the archives for what I thought about it.  Hero It's, supposedly, the crouching dragon of this century. Although, I didn't think Crouching Tiger was that great. I haven't watched it yet but when I do I'll let you know know.  Shattered Glass Supposed to be good, again, I haven't watched it yet.  Casshern I just finished downloading this. I haven't watched it cause I'm here being all busy and doing things. PEACE |

Purchasmo!!!!  Die Mommie Die! A parody of those old melodrama's.  Heathers A pitch-black comedy about a girl in a popular high school clique that decides to off all the other members. Pretty good.  City of God Haven't watched it yet, but Roger Ebert said it would be one of the best movies I will ever see.  El Mariachi  Desperado  Once upon a time in Mexico One of the best trilogies ever made, second only to Lord of the Rings.  Last Exile. Anime for aniME! The reason I bought Last Exile was because I was in Media Play and they have a Anime section. I was just walking around when I heard really bad voice acting and jumpy happy Japanese music. So I ran over and found something cause... I had to now. Gotta go PEACE |

| It's been one of those weekends, and now it's Monday and all returns to normal. I'll do a huge post on Meantime to explain how it all went and how, for the first time in my life, I was drunk 3 days out of 4. Yikes, I know, that's not like Jon, trust me, I know it and it won't happen again. Purchased:  N.E.R.D. - Fly or Die Great CD. These guys aren't rap, like I'd thought, they're great.  Klonoa 2 Classic game. It's going to be really expensive in, like, two years.  A Woman is Woman This movie is so messed up, not in the way where you try not to look at the screen, it's more like, you watch because it's such a trainwreck of a movie. It's different though, it's a good trainwreck, Godard dissects the musical genre and makes fun of a lot of things. The cues of music when one character talks and the cuts to characters in different positions than they were before. It's an interesting flick, expensive though, motherfuckers at FYE.  Dark City This movie was The Matrix. If you watch this, you realize the matrix took Dark City and put it in the future. Then again, Dark City could take place in the future, I guess. I've lost my point. The Matrix is the idea of Dark City.  Shenmue 2 This is a pretty good game so far, wow, fucking load times are nuts though.  Shenmue - The Movie !?!!11!? This is the best idea carried out the worst possibly. It could have been really interesting and fleshed out Shenmue's original story, but all it did was completely confuse me. I've already played the first and I had no idea what was going on. Considering I knew the story, that's not a good sign. There is complete disregard for pacing, suspense, and editing. Characters aren't given a background, talking about it's pissing me off. Trailers: The Grudge - Looks fucking awesome. September Tape - Blair Witch in Afghanistan Not too many things I'm excited about seeing. Peace. |

| Lots of changes coming up for the site, but really, what is this site about? It used to be where I'd spill my guts but I do that on the meantime part of it. So now this site is basically an outlet for my creativity. Ahhh, Jon's creativity, he contains so much and yet there are only a few orifices it can be dispersed from. Lots of site updates this Summer cause I'll have "crazy", "wacky", "mad", free time on my hands. I'll be updating shit I DONT EVEN NEED TO UPDATE! There'll be a new menu bar UNDER THE MENU BAR ALREADY THERE! THE NEW MENU BAR WILL TAKE YOU TO ANOTHER VERSION OF THAT SAME MENU BAR WITH SMALLER ICONS AND A DIFFERENT FONT! WHEN YOU CLICK ON THE SECOND MENU BAR, A PICTURE OF ME WILL POP UP AND MY HAIR WILL BE DIFFERENT AND WHEN YOU CLICK MY HAIR IT'LL MAKE PIANO SOUNDS, YOU CAN PLAY THE PIANO ON MY HAIR BASICALLY. Damn, this site is going downhill like no other. Anyway, I'm thinking of uploading part of my english portfolio, cause it's pretty friggin sweet. I'm also thinking of uploading some of my screenplay, that is now 63 pages long. Do you know how long that is? That's like how long the bible is divided by three. That's 300% the length of the bible. That means that I'm the equivalent of three gods. I'm jesus times six. I'm the devil divided by twelve and I'm the pope minus the spiffy hat. The screenplay is coming along OK but I seem to get side-tracked because I'm working at... A FUCKING GAS STATION. The constant annoyances. I'll be sitting there, minding my own business, when this fucking lady'll come in. "Do you know where Monroe street is? Cause I'm a fucking dumbass and I can't find it, so I thought I'd park in front of the gas station while you were taking a shit. Then while I waited, I'd yell "HELLO" very loudly while you sat in the bathroom. After you got out, I'd smile politely as if it makes a difference. Finally, as you tell me you don't know where Monroe street is, I'll stand there and flip through a map for ten minutes and sigh loudly." I'm sitting there trying to be creative and it doesn't work. I can't have interuptions like that directions wench. You need to fucking get OnStar or a clue. If you need to get somewhere find directions online BEFORE you go there. You don't get in your car and go "I shall go wherever the wind takes me, for I am a traveler of the asphalt, and only god can set my path." If I hear anyone say "god led me..." to somewhere, I'm going to flip out. Don't ever say that to me, I'll hate you forever... and when forever is over, I'll stab you in the eye with an oragami cross that I made between forever and whenever I see you again. Peace out. |

| Damn, someone died from NG. Newgrounds.com a site for digital cartoons and other crazy stuff. Just a few minutes ago, I read that a kid died, he was killed in a car accident, he was only 17. This makes me so sad and also...so scared. That could be me someday, I could be the one that suddenly stops updating because, well, I have died. I checked out the kids website....it's all still there, as if he was only gone temporarily. I know older people feel that teens and kids don't have a good concept of death or don't think of their actions, maybe I'm just not one of those people, but I completely disagree. I think young people understand the consequences of death and finality of it all, we just haven't had death shoved in our face like the baby boomers and their parents. All the death we see is on television, so maybe in a way it dulls it, that is, until we see it in our daily lives. It is not until the death of a close friend or an acquaintance that we realize how serious death really is. In our minds, we think, this can't happen to me, I'm me, my conscience can't just cease to exist suddenly. What's sad is...when we die, our conscience dissapears, along with our body. Slowly but surely we decay and all that is left is our bones. That's what makes the case of the kid from NG so sad. That kid leaves so much behind, he leaves a website filled with information, so much life is left over from when he was alive. His parents can read the site and find out things they never knew, they can see what he was thinking and how he felt. If this is my last post, so be it, I am happy that I left so much to be remembered by. |

When I show pictures of what I've purchased, this is supposed to entice you in to buying them yourself. SO if you see something up here and there is a picture, it's my patented "seal of fucking Cual-IT-AY", buy whatever you see here. If you can't buy it, watch it or listen to it. Here goes:  Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind Soundtrack  Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind SEE THIS MOVIE, BEST MOVIE OF THE YEAR, HANDS DOWN.  13 Going on 30 Good movie, don't listen to the haters.  Big Fish Mediocre...sorry guys. I'm sorry, I'm so tired. I submitted something to the NG portal but it was so stupid and bad I didn't want to put a link...catch you later. Interesting Concept |

| I can't stand Pro-Lifers. Can't fucking STAND them. They show such a lack of sympathy or empathy, as if they live in their own religious cacoon. They believe a 14 year old girl, who has sex for the first time with someone...should have the baby regardless. Now, who is the less responsible one here? The 14 year old that knows she is not prepared for a baby, and does not want to put the financial or emotional burden on her family, or the religious fuckwad that is trying to decide for her? America is based on freedom, and although it was created by religious zealots, RELIGION is seperated from GOVERNMENT. There is a reason for this. If you'd like to see an example, look at a country like Saudi Arabia or Jordan. Both are Islamic and both governments are backed by the Koran. Because of this there is no real governmening body but religious figures. If a man kills a woman in that country and does it in what is defined as "a fit of rage" it is completely OK. Since in the Koran it is stated that killing a woman for disobeying a man is acceptable. Yes, maybe they interpret it too Liberally, but still it happens, and it happens a lot. This whole situation reminds me of the book "The Handmaid's Tale", where women try to censor all of the media and it turns the women in to slaves. If you'd like to live in a country where abortion is banned and woman have little rights, there are countries out there, go find them and live there... America is supposed to stand for freedom, meaning others do not make your decisions. Fuck off Pro-lifers. |

I submitted a new video to NG, here's a link so you can give it fives and make me famous.  To be honest it only took me an hour to do it, but I was surprised it do decently(for me) on NG. I've been having writers block lately and haven't been able to think of anything to create in Flash. I've been writing a lot of my script, it's a horror script. I'll give a little summary for anyone that wants to know. It's about a couple, Sheryl and Will. Will is an archaelogist at a museum, Sheryl is a stay at home mom. One day some artifacts are delivered to the museum anonomously and on these artifacts there are instructions for a ritual. Will makes a bet with another employee that the ritual won't work, think it will be easy money. He tries the ritual in his bed room when his wife is out with the kids. By mistake, he opens a hole in his closet that leads to hell. Things start coming out of it. Will has to hide all these things from Sheryl while he scrambles to find a way to close it. He decides he will enter the hole because the artifacts say that is the only way to close it. The events of the movie take place before and very long after he enters the hole. Sound interesting? Well it is, and it's really fun writing this kind of stuff. It's nice to write about feelings and deep stuff but it's also nice to write about carnage sometimes too. Well, vote on the portal entry, you better, or else! 5 god damnit! I'm leaving for mexico tomorrow so snowspot probably won't be updated for a bit, at least not with any new content, I might put some comments on here. See ya later. |

| It's been a crazy week over in my neck of the woods, I bought two books to hopefully help me create some decent-looking flash. One is for animating and the other is for creating characters. I just want to learn to draw so the voters on NG will be a little less harsh on my work. I really think those guys are dicks though, they don't understand how hard some people try to get some of their work up there, only to get it shot down by some crappy flash that has tons of blood in it. I think I"m going to redesign the buttons on the frontpage, just somethind different I think. The buttons at the top definetly have to go and the buttons on the right are starting to piss me off a bit. I'm so fucking tired, why am I up posting on here at this time. I been trying to set up a blog on my server but for some fucking reason I don't know what to do. How do you run an SQL file, I have no fucking idea, I've been looking all arodun too. FUkc FUkC FUck.. FUCK FUKC FUCK I'm fucking tired. If you get a chance check out the meantime. See ya. |

 That would be another insanely demented thing created by yours truly. I think lately that for some reason I'm really making fun of religion, dunno why though. I showed the Jesus vs God flash movie I made, to a bunch of religious people, and they told me "May god have mercy on your soul". I think that's a little harsh to be honest, cause I think for religious people that's like a non-religious person saying, fuck off douch bag, I hope you die. Religious people are all about JC and the Crizzosss... and I say that with complete disregard for it's importance to anyone. HOLLA AT THE CRIZZOOSSSS. I don't believe in religion, any religion. Something is probably there, but I doubt it watches us, or knows it even created us. I'm hoping to make a ton of the small snowspot short clips, hopefully it won't turn in to another thing I forget to update. I already have a few ideas planned for the whole thing, so hopefully it'll all work it. I'm so psyched about making flash cartoons lately, it's so much fun looking for sound clips and creating and animating, such a rush when it all comes together. I gotta go though, I have a job interview at T.G.I. Fridays. Sorta confusing, I always just called it Friday's, but I guess people say T.G.I too. Like what, it's going to be some other restuarant called fridays? "NO, It's not Fridays!!" So when you discover it actually is friday's you're like "Thank God it's Fridays, the real friday's not the fake one, not chili's, not some other place, thank god it's fridays. I'm serious, THANK GOD, cause if it wasn't friday's I'd be cursing god, or thanking satan." It's stupid, freaking marketing. See ya later. |

| I am a centerist, which means I am between a democrat and a republican. I think most people in this coutry are centerists also. In these times, it's hard to be all the way conservative or all the way liberal, in fact I'd say it was impossible. Republican and Democrat are merely names given to people on television, because no one, is exclusive to one side. I believe that the invasion of Iraq was something that needed to happen, in fact, I've read many books on the subject of women in saudia arabian countries, and books on the plight of women in Iraq. The torture women went through in these countries is horrible. In Saudi Arabia, women are not allowed to drive, they are married against their will, women that are raped are considered useless, in many cases mother's prostitute their own daughters for money. I think there needed to be some sort of intervention by someone, because god knows the U.N. does absolutely nothing to stop this treatment of women. The United Nations is the biggest joke in international diplomacy if you ask me, they do absolutely nothing for any international affairs. For the most part, the UN did not want the United States to intervene in Iraq, but was powerless to stop us. Their lack of action just showed how little power they have and how they are a mere display rather than a working body. Althought I think the war needed to happen, I think the aftermath is troubling, in that Iraq is now in a state of chaos. The intern government is run by hillbillies and clerics that are not elected by the people. Bush screwed over the Iraqies by not setting up a government fast enough and he is now scrambling for credibility. Wow....I just pulled that out of my ass, isn't it amazing. That's all for now, if you read that, you're a smarter reader than I took you for. That's right, I'm talking to you. Yes... YOU. BYE |

| I haven't been in an updating mood lately, so not much updating has occurred. I'm going to update the Obsessions part of the site soon, but I just haven't gotten to it, I think I'm going to also add a Wishlist thing, so people can buy me shit. Well this is the smallest update I've ever done, catch ya laterrrr... **UPDATE** I was really bored so I decided to completely redo the whole archiving system. If you click on archives in the lower left hand of each new post, now you'll come to a menu where you can choose what year you want to look at. If you wanna look at 2001, YOU CAN DO IT! 2002, FUCKER ITS RIGHT THERE! Don't even get me started on 2003. Both 2002 and 2003 will take a shitload of time to load, cause I posted tons of stuff both those years, it's kinda weird to think I've had this site for more than two years, I remember when I first started it, all it had was a few simple pictures and some crappy flash. Now it has a lot of simple pictures and a ton of crappy flash. I will say though, I am proud of the short story section, and now that I think of it, I have to add some stuff to that. I'll see ya later. FUCKING ENJOY THE ARCHIVES GOD DAMNIT. I just watched this film the other day.  The film is called Dark Water and it's a Japanese film similiar in many ways to Ringu (The Ring.) It's a pretty good flick and the end is actually really sad, cause you really care about the characters. The only thing that deturred anything from the film was my own fault. I downloaded a version without subtitles so I didn't really know what anyone was say. While I was watching I made up what they were saying, and half the time I was correct (don't know if that's good or bad). It was pretty entertaining, but I was able to piece things together and it becomes more of a challenge. Well that's all for now. PEACE. |

**New Short Story Uploaded**  To view it, simply click on the short story icon to the right. It'll take you to the short story index, next click on the HUGE ASS icon. It's really simple. Tell me what you think through e-mail or on the message board. The internet wouldn't let me get on my site for the last few days but it turned out to just be a problem with my internet service provider. Stupidly I thought my hosting had run out so I updated it for another five years...so yeah I own snowspot for quite a while now. Not much has been going on lately, I was really freaking out about my site being down though. It's sort of like a depressing portfolio, because on top of all the work I've done, I also complain about my life ;). Oh yeah, my friend Emily got into FIT, so that means she'll only be a few blocks from me. Here's a diagram of where I am, and where she is.  As you can see from the diagram....our schools are close. This brings the tally of people I'll know in NYC to about six. Ashley from the first year I went to the SVA summer program, Keith from home, Ian my parents' friends' son, Demetria and Nicole from SVA this summer, and now Emily. I'm getting pretty psyched now that school is sort of winding down and senioritis is setting in. I'll be in NYC doing my own thing, it's going to be great. Well that's all for now, catch ya later. |

| The boy was from a town of winged people, he had traveled far and wide to find a friend. When he landed in a clearing his only intention was to find food but there was a tall man there. The boy asked the man his name but he did not reply, he walked up to the boy and pointed to his wing. The boy laughed and explained to the man he had been traveling day and night searching for friendship. The man turned the boy around and broke his wings. You will no longer need these, he said. The man said he would lead him to the man's village. The travel was long though, and the man was getting aggitated. Upon reaching a cliff, the man decided he had had enough of the boy following him and tried to push him off the edge. The boy cried out and suddenly the man stopped, saying he didn't mean it, and he didn't know what he was thinking. This happened several times until the boy did not resist. The man cried as the boy fell. |

| Today was quite a day, well, not really, but it sounds interesting if I say that. I woke up around 12:00 and was really lazy and just laid in my bed for a while. Soon I got up and started working on a flash movie I was making. http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view.php?id=147902 That's it, it's interestting and sort of funny, so check it out. I couldn't figure out how to do a preloader for the life of me. Turns out those tards at Macromedia decided to make Actionscript super intricate and change the easy way of doing things. It's not too bad thouhg, I got a loader for it. After finishing up that little job I met emily and we went out to workout, actually first we stopped at Wendy's so we were kinda cheating but who gives a fuck we're not really fat anyway. First thing we did when we got there was play a little racquetball, well we don't really play racquetball, we just sort of hit the ball at the wall and hope it doesn't hit us when it comes back. I hope no one watches us play cause it's really embarassing. After that we went to this abs and arms class that was freaking beyond hard. It was like my stomach was about to explode, I hated it so much. I didn't hate it it was just really intense and I wanted to die afterward, I wish I'd stayed for the class afterward. Ugh.... Well, I'm gunna go. see ya later. |

| Ahh, today was a really kickass day. I use the term kickass cause it sounds sorta cool and better than great or fun. I think saying fun sounds a little flamboyant honestly, sorta like when people say "you're so silly". Who the hell says silly? Anyway, today was pretty cool. First, I had to go to school at 8:00 am for my English 12 midterm, which was pretty much the easiest midterm I've ever taken. My teacher, Mrs. Hoffend, said that if we all do well enough we'll forego the final and just have a party that day. She is honestly the best teacher I've ever had in my entire life. Instead of treating all her students like little kids, she treats us like adults and lets us do what we want. The other day I turned in something that most of the class didn't and she let me leave early to go home with a friend. Other times she knows that me and my friends are just going out to lunch when we say we're going to the library, she just says "what a fun life a senior has" and lets us leave. It's kinda nice having such a cool person, makes me want to try harder for her and impress her. I think other teachers could learn some things from her. After the English midterm I went to the store and bought two cakes for my A.P Art final. Ok, so it was completely ridiculous and stupid to have a final for art. All we did was sit around and eat pizza and cake and look at all the stuff we'd done for the year. We exchanged compliments and it was a pretty fun time. After leaving I hung out with my friend emily while she went to this expensive clothing store. After that we went to RIT for dinner with Chris and Anne. It was pretty fun but Anne was being a sad-sack :-p. Aww well. After having some pizza me and Emily left for the gym to work out and hang out with our gym trainer Erin. She's pretty awesome I must say. We joke around with her the whole time basically. I'm so fucking sore right now I wanna just collapse, but I have to poop so I gotta wait a while. Later tonight I plan on watching American Idol and just chillin....exhausting but fun day. Woo. Yeah, I'll shut up. Hope you enjoy my post that isn't depressing for once. See ya. |

| Ugh, I can't express how depressed I've been the last couple weeks, simply cause it's never been this bad. It's the kind of depression where you just feel numb, there is no crying or pitying of yourself, just realization. What I realized is that I will never be part of a group where I am cared about. In every group I've tried to assimilate myself in my life, I've been pushed out for some reason. Whether is be my sex, my age, my place on the social ladder, I'm pushed away because I'm different. The differences are things I cannot change though, they're the way I am and I can't be ashamed really. Because I can't be ashamed, and I know this, I am left feeling like there is nothing I can do and therefore I am hopeless. I have one friend right now. Maybe that doesn't sound THAT bad, mainly because the average person would assume that one friend would mean one really good friend, it doesn't though. My one friend does not consider me their best friend, they don't even know my phone number. Every day it becomes more apparent to me that no matter what I do, in the end I'm just setting myself up for more unhappiness. I lost weight last year and new groups of people befriended me and wanted to hang out. But in the end they all turned out to be nothing more than temporary, they all found something new to cling on as time passed. All the people I invested myself with and I thought they were my friends...they let me down. And now at my most obvious and worst time, people read this and don't react at all, they don't care, it doesn't matter. And so I'll continue being like this, and you can keep reading and think to yourself how this is sad and all, but jesus why doesn't he stop crying about it online, tell the people. I've told all of them but they could care less, the ones that fain interest turn around later and make me feel bad because I said anything. Numb is the best way to describe it, I don't smile and I don't frown, I just sit here... **Also** If anyone knows of any jobs where I can get a decent amount of money (like more than 10 an hour) and it doesn't require me to take off my clothes(sadly I've had offers) please let me know....I really need a good job. Thanks. |

In the last couple days I was lucky enough to see two films that didn't have major releases in the United States. Lost in Translation is pretty well known because of Bill Murray and it's been getting a lot of praise, and deservedly so because it's a spectacular film. Sofia Coppola wrote and directed it as she did on The Virgin Suicides, another of my favorite films.  Like Virgin Suicides, the characters in this film form an unlikely bond that isn't sexual but emotional. It's a very slow movie and is not typically plotted, it's something you don't see too often but very effective. The other film I saw is called Elephant and is now one of my favorite films of all time. It's based on the Columbine shootings, in which two students reeked havoc on a small-town school. The film is really shocking and it's slow pace is what makes it so shocking till the horror unfolds.  All of the actors are no-names and are actually just high school students the director(Gus Van Sant) chose to the play the parts. The dialogue is all improvised and is incredibly realistic. I've never been so shocked while watching a movie since I saw Battle Royale. The sad part about the film is that it will probably not get as much attention as it deserves, this based solely on the fact it deals with very controversial material. It's sad because I guarantee that if the two behind Columbine had watched this film, they would feel differently about the acts they were committing. It's a really powerful film and I suggest anyone with an interest in well-made cinema seek it out online or at a local videostore when it is released. |

I've finally joined a gym, considering the amount of time I excercise each night, it's about time. It's at a place about twenty mintues from my house and 5 minutes from RIT, which is good so I can hang with my friends and eat, then work off everything later that night at the gym. The place is called Rochester Athletic Club .  First tonight, I went to RIT and got dinner with my friends, which was pretty shitty. Everything is really really incredibly expensive there. It cost $7 for a hot dog, fries and a large drink...that's more than most restaurants near me. Anyway,a enough of the bitching. So after I finished eating I left. I was lucky and my mom let me use the Escalade cause the roads where really bad. Well, not really, this whole story is just uninteresting so I thought I'd liven it up. While driving to the gym in the Escalade, I came to a train stop and it was just my luck that a train started crossing when I got there. As I apporached the track, the big bars came down so no one could pass. I looked in the rear view mirror, then at my dashboard, I put the car in park. I looked forward, a screw on the top of the dashboard was coming loose and making a small ticking sound. The sound was really bothering me, so I tried tighting the screw. It was turning but only slightly, I contorted my body and tried with all my might to turn the screw more. Suddenly I was thrust forward with incredible power, the Escalade's tires screeched and it took me only a split-second to see what was happening. A car had rear-ended me and I was heading straight for the train. The next few things seemed to happen in slow motion. The car was lurching forward, I turned the steering wheel hard to the left and the Escalade turned sideways, the car beyond me kept going forward. Both the Escalade and the other car broke threw the bars, I opened the door of the Escalade and jumped, not sure whether I was jumping into traffic or safety. When I landed the Escalade was gone, as was the other car, they had both been dragged several feet by the train. I brushed the glass out of my hair, and walked to the gym. See that was intense!!! Anyway, when I got to the gym I was pretty scared cause I didn't know what to do really. I just signed up earlier today so nothing was set up yet and I didn't know what most of the machines did. After some searching, I just used the bikes, the treadmill, and the stair machine. Lots of scary big people walked by and they smelled, some of those machines smelled like ass. Not much else going on, just hope I'm buff in a month. See ya |

| My site's traffic has gone way down in the last couple days, it's kind of weird, not sure why that happened. Maybe I should make more happy posts and less posts than the last one... Well I went to NYC from January 2nd till the 5th and I had a really amazing time there. Me and my friend Chris hung out there and basically went to all of my favorite places and I tried to show him that the city wasn't scary or anything. For some reason people think that the city is really dangerous or a bad place to be, but it's pretty harmless depending on where you are. Sure, the bronx isn't harmless but who the hell goes there when you're a tourist? We went to a shit-load of restaurants and I spent about three hundred of the money I'd gotten for X-mas, I still have $150 but I think I spent the money I did for good reason. I'll give you a list of what places I went to, not only to enlighten you but also to make my post look longer than it actually is. 1. Patsy's - Probably my family's favorite pizza place in NYC, there are a couple of them, almost like they're a chain, but damn it's some of the best pizza I've ever had. It's located on Lexington ave, between 34th and 35th street. 2. John's Pizza - This is way down in the village and it took forever to get to, definetly one of the best pizza places in NYC, but second to Patsy's only because it's so far away from everything. 3. Molly's Pub - This is down near SVA(School of Visual Arts), the school I want to go to for college. It's a great place to eat because of the atmosphere, which is mostly Irish, and the food is gigantic and cheap. 4. Jackson Hole - This place has horrible service but the burgers and fries were the best I ate in NYC. 5. Howard Johnson - This diner in Times Square was the worst place I'd ever been to. Don't ever go to this horrible piece-of-shit rip-off. 6. China Regency - My favorites Chinese place in NYC, though I haven't been to China town to eat much. That's all for now, I have to go to class, as I'm in school while typing all of this. I might add to it, heck, I probably will. See ya later. |

| A couple minutes ago I checked my post from last New Year's eve, I was so depressed and bored and what sucks is that nothing has really changed since last year. I'm still depressed and bored... I sorta have more friends and I sort of have more freedom of things to do. The only problem is even though I have friends and everything, I'm no one's best friend. I'm always a casual friend or just someone people hang out with. All my friends choose things over me, no matter how close they are to me. My friend Chris and Anne are going to Niagra falls to drink and party tonight, the drinking age there is 19, so they didn't invite me because I can't drink. Then Chris has the nerve to say to me "it's too bad you aren't 19" as he leaves. I think it's ridiculous that drinking is more important than your friends happiness, this is after, of course, I invite Chris to go to NYC with me from the 2nd to the 5th, hotel paid for...he can't spare a fucking night without drinking for me. Tommorow is my freaking birthday...what the fuck? ALl of this just makes me feel like such a useless piece of shit. My other friends, who go to school with me, all go out to other parties and stuff and don't let me know what they're doing. They go to parties and they don't call me, some don't answer my IM's, no one remembers it's my birthday or anything... Ugh... I'm just very sad right now.... Maybe I shouldn't be typing all this, oh well, I'm gunna go. |

| Yeah, so since me and my family are leaving early for christmas, we're celebrating it on christmas eve. It's pretty cool but seems to take away from the whole christmas "thing", it doesn't really seem like christmas anymore. I'm not sure if it's because of what day we're celebrating it on or because I'm just getting older. I remember how incredible and, dare I say, magical, it used to be. My family and I would all huddle around the christmas tree weeks before and decorate to christmas music. I would be so psyched, not just because of the presenst but just because it made me so happy to think of christmas. Everything is so different now and it's just a depressing holiday this year. My dad has hardly talked to me in the last week, if he does it's just to ask me to do something or complain about something. My mom seems to just try to find something to get mad at me about. The only person that hasn't been bothering me lately is my little brother, which is weird because he usually does. Maybe he's beginning to realize that my parents go overboard and that I'm so high-strung because I can't deal with them. It really makes me sad though, I used to be so damn excited about christmas. All the christmas specials would come on TV and even though they all ended the same way, and I knew that inevitably Santa or some other hero would save the day. *sigh* I guess it's not worth dwelling on. Odd though, you see people in their mid-life saying they wish they were younger, these days you have people my age saying it. I think it has to do with the fact that in this day and age everyone loses their innocence a lot earlier than 40 years ago. So everything is just sped up, people mature faster and settle into their work-filled life early. I'm just full of the Christmas spirit eh? Well I'll try to cheer everyone up a bit the next time I post. I did get a few videogames lately...everyone wants to hear about video games. Come to think of it, I got some DVD's too... So look at all these fucking pictures!!!  Phantom Planet DVD  X-men 2 Here are the CD's I got:  Phantom Planet - The Guest(re-release)  No Doubt - The Hits Here are the games I got:  Space Channel 5 - Special Edition(PS2)  Mario Kart: Double Dash (GC)  Eternal Darkness (GC) That's all for now. |

| Life has been so fucking crazy lately and also annoying. My job is going good, school is going OK-ish, and my friends are awesome as usual. I still got a lot of stuff to do though and with the holidays coming up I can't imagine it getting any easier to deal with. I have to do so much stuff before then, I just hope that my acceptance letter from college gets here soon. The second it gets here my parents will be happy and give me a break, maybe buy me some shit (insert smiley face with sunglasses), can't wait for that. Here's a list of the things I'm looking forward to. 1. Christmas I can't freaking wait for Christmas, it's the happiest goddamn time of the year. JESUS CHRIST! I love Christmas....Goddamn jesus christ! 2. Lord of the Rings: Return of the King The Lord of the Rings movies are some of the best movies ever made, and the fact that we got a sequel each year, for the last two years, was awesome. I'm sorta sad to see it end though, I remember seeing the first one in 2000, sitting in really crappy seats at this ugly theatre in New Jersey. Just so everyone knows, Jersey is quite the smelly place. Anyway, I was in the first row and we had to lean our heads to the side to see the whole screen... funny thing is, I still really fucking loved the movie. 3. New Year's Day (not the eve) Not only does it start a new year....but It's freaking my birthday. Hopefully I'll get some good stuff and maybe party a bit. I can't wait for it to come, woo..hoo. I guess I'm not actually looking forward to that much, either that or I have a pathetic life or some shit. This is from a night I barely remember.  Wow...yep...not sober. Well I gotta do shit, as I always do, no site updates lately but hopefully that'll change one of these days when I am not a loser. See ya |

I wanted to thank everyone that sent me e-mails telling me to cheer up after my last post. It's really cool to see that people actually give a shit :-D It cheered me up and... well, yea, thanks. I haven't had much to do the last couple days because classes at RIT are coming to a close and I still get time off of school. My grades this quarter were actually pretty darn good and I'm happy I did well. I'm taking more classes next quarter - film language and digital animation. While working at the gas station, I bring along my tv/vcr....so far these are the films I've watched.  Death Becomes Her This is definetly one of the weirdest films I've ever seen. I rented it because I'd seen it when I was much younger, I was actually pretty obsessed with it then. It's dark and really funny. The story centers around two women, one of them steals the other's husband. Ten years later the married woman is getting old, thats when she decides to take a potion that restores youth and beauty and promises never-ending life. The potion does not heal who takes it though, so if someone is injured the potion doesn't do much except make their injuries non-life-threatening.... That's pretty complicated, just look at the cover of it.  Buffy: The Vampire Slayer I was surprised how well this held up over the years, it's still a pretty funny comedy. It's really campy and obviously really low-budget. Looking at it now, it deserved a sequel or a tv show.  Naked Gun This movie just plain kicks ass. It's pretty amazing how funny it is today, I can imagine how funny it must have been back when it came out. It's nice seeing OJ in a film that isn't police evidence.  That's all, I'm tired, g'night. |

| I'm bored My head hurts I have to urinate I hate this place I have homework and I'm writing an entry on my website. The last couple of days have been very exhausting and not very fun, nope, not one bit. Everyday I just feel like skipping my classes at school, I guess it's cause I'm depressed. Things haven't been going so well lately for me, not school or anything, just personally... I'm not the happiest guy. I just feel like I need something more, someone ...or something, I dunno. I'm sure it gets really boring hearing about my feelings and all that shit but I can't help it I have to vent somewhere. I'm not going to go in-depth because I never do that. I've just wanted to crawl in a little place and die. ANYWAY! I bought the new strokes CD and it's pretty great, I like it. The third song on the album I like the most but I'm just too lazy to look at that right now so please fuck off. I also bought the second family guy DVD which I watch when I work out each night. I like to keep my body in shape so I can be all modelish or something. I hope I look good, fuck who cares, it doesn't get you anywhere in the end. I bet ugly people read this and are like 'what a fucking asshole' but I realize what I'm like. Don't get me wrong, I know I'm not ugly but I also realize that vanity doesn't matter in life really... I just like to look good for my self-esteem, higher self-esteem helps me not be sad. Maybe a high self-esteem just shields misery -- yeah, that's it. I have like no drive to write anymore, I'm sorry, someone needs to cheer me up. |

| I'm broke and poor and I have no money. If anyone wants to send me cash that would be great. Just send it to me. My work at the gas station is so boring and I don't get paid anything. Some of my friends go to college for engineering and one of them got paid 40 bucks an hour on an internship. FORTY DOLLARS AN HOUR. That means that they get paid as much for 3 hours as I do for working 20. THAT IS NOT RIGHT. The only reason I like the gas station is because of the people. Some REALLY interesting people come in and it's really crazy. First, ya got the people I know from school acting like they don't know me cause we aren't in school(maybe I'm just a loser or something). Then you got the old people that insist on paying 25 cents in pennies. The middle-aged housewives that flirt with me for god knows why. The middle-aged men that don't say "you too" after I say "have a good one", which is the thing I say to make the customer feel more than a wallet or a gas tank. After that are the teens that come in to buy ciggarettes, these kids always smell really bad. That really confuses me how the kids who smoke are also the smell ones that are dirty. After that come the mom's that bring in their bastard children to buy candy. These kids are so fucking annoying: "mommy I want a tic-tac" "you can't buy just one tic-tac honey" "but I want just one" "Sir, can she buy just one tic tac?" "No, sorry" "Sir, please let her buy just one tic-tac" "Um...no?" "This is ridiculous, let me talk to your manager" "Mommy where the fuck is my fucking tic-tac" "...I just work at a gas station" After those people are the kind of weird group of people. Small people (dwarfs) come in often, which blows my mind cause I really didn't know many dwarfs lived in Rochester. One came in that looked like she was about 24 and she started hitting on me, all seductive. I asked her for the amount of money she pumped and she's like "thanks sweety" "just put my change right there" "ride me like I'm a small child" and I was like...what, hey....I'm not into that, stop it, Ughnnn UHHHHHHH... then we left the employees bathroom. A deaf guy came in and asked me for directions and I gave him the wrong directions, not cause I'm an asshole but just because I have no sense of direction. I think I sent him in the complete opposite direction, it makes me feel bad because in my head I'm like...he's just a poor deaf person, I know it's wrong to think that but being deaf is like having a huge wall in front of you. A huge soundproof...wall... Well that's my fun gas station stuff. |

| While surfing on amazon.com I clicked on a product and saw this girl's review of it. It has to be the most annoying girl I've ever seen, check out her other reviews... L8er!!!! K80-aka-Katie's reviews I bought this:  Best car chase scene ever. I fucking need money so bad. I've been working and hanging with friends and buying food and paying for gas and I've just about ran out. I've got six dollars to my name right now and it sucks beyond comprehension. BAh.. Send me money and shit, but not shit cause that's messed. Send me like...one of those new twenty dollar bills.  Send em in. This weekend me and my friends watched Kill Bill: Volume 1.  I must say, it totally kicked royal ass, pun intended. The pun of course being the fact that one of my favorite films is:  Battle Royale Quentin Tarantino was a huge fan of Battle Royale also and actually did some trailers in Japan for the film. There are a couple things in the film that seem as if they are winking at Battle Royale or just inspired. The first would have to be the amount of violence in the film and the way it is portrayed. In Battle Royale blood shoots out of victims as is the same for Kill Bill. Another similarity has to do directly with the cast. The casting of Chiaki Kuriyama as Go Go Yubari (The schoolgirl) was sort of a nod to Battle Royale also.  Battle Royale's Chigusa  Kill Bill's Go Go Chiaki plays Chigusa, a schoolgirl in a similiar uniform, in Battle Royale. In Battle Royale however, she is much more brutal and if you've seen it you know what I mean. During Chiaki's backstory scene she is shown having a conversation with a male her own age and doing to that male exactly what she did to the one in Battle Royale. The conversation the two have is also incredibly similar. The last coincidence with Chiaki is the fact that she bleeds from her eyes, a throwback to the death of Kuriyama in Battle Royale. The last thing I noticed between Kill Bill and Battle Royale was during one of the conversations between Uma Thurman when she is trying to find the swordmaker to find her steel[sword]. One of the men says "What'd ya want" which is a really bad way of translating something into english from Japanese. The exact same line is said by Kazuo in Battle Royale when he first meets Shuya and Noriko. **Oh, if you haven't seen Battle Royale you're probably like what the fuck is this retard talking about. Anyway, that was a fucking big update so be happy. See ya. |

| For some reason I can never come up with any ideas of what to post on here, I can't think of anything really interesting. I'm quite the loser I guess. It's probably because my life has been both busy and boring lately and it's hard to come up with an idea to write a couple hundred words on. One thing I do realize is my site is getting alot more traffic than I ever expected it to get, it's scary, I have friends that are majors in web development and they can't get any hits. I'm not sure why I get the hits, am I interesting? I hope so. One thing I think I'll talk about is my road rage, which has been growing over the few months I've had my license and car. Most times it's pretty funny when I look back at it but sometimes I just ask myself what I was thinking. Mostly I just get pissed at what the other drivers did when I look back at what happened. That's why I've taken a stand as a driver. I don't let people merge into traffic during a traffic jam because the fuckers never let me merge anyway. I hate when I'm going about 65 down the highway and some asshole sees me turn my blinker on so he speeds up. So the last guy that did that, I decided to follow him home and leave a dead rat on his doorstep. The next morning, as I watched from the bushes I saw him cower in fear. Who hasn't done that? God, I have to fucking go to work. I gotta cut this short, but here's a link to some funny shit. "Funny Shit" |

| Wow it's been one crazy boring-ass week. I've been sick so a few days I've slept in till 1 and 2 o'clock, obviously those days I missed school so I'm a little behind. Not much though, I'm a good student so I get my shit done early, my shit is completed on time, and when I make a shit it looks perfect. Things have been a little crazy with my relationships and friends, certain type of friend to be certain but that's as far as I go with that. I just feel that I'm not the only friend that that friend wants to be friends with in the way that we are friends with each other. Now I wouldn't have a problem with that if the person wanted to be friends as in friends that just hang out and don't do certain things friends don't do because you need to be a different type of friend to do those sort of "friendly" things with one and other. If you actually understood all that I just typed you understand my situation a little more clearly. It's not that I don't trust the person it's just that sometimes I'm not very confident or sure of myself. I don't like being fucked with or fucked around with so I get very paranoid when I think these things or maybe even know these things. ANYWAY. School is going pretty darn well in that I'm rarely there because I have a nice little block of study halls which allow me to leave the school for long periods of time. On Wednesdays I'm only at school till 9:30. NINE THIRTY! Yeah that's fucking hot as hell and it only gets better, or something...shit I was going to say something but I lost it. Eh, anyway, I've been downloading dreamcast games like crazy and burning them to CD. I've got about 50 dreamcast games that I didn't buy that work perfectly, it's great. Yeah, it's the nerd in me, deal with it. Besides all of this, I'm taking a class at RIT. Scriptwriting, duh, you knew that if you have ever talked to me or looked at this webpage. I'm taking the class and I'm actually doing pretty well, I've got a B+ Average which in my book is pretty damn good. Most of the students there are second or third years, so they were pretty annoyed when I told them I was in high school. After I said it the girl goes "Oh my god, are you seriously in high school?". No I'm making it up for fun cause I like to fuck with you. It's sort of weird, I thought the writing in the class would be much more advanced for people taking a scriptwriting class. It wasn't though, the short story I read seemed to be the best of the bunch that were read out loud. I don't mean to stroke my own ego, but they were actually pretty lame. I'll post it right here: A boy sits waiting in a small brightly lit room. He sits between his mother and father, his younger brother pacing in front of the teary-eyed trio. In the boy’s hand, he holds the rope he had fastened to the dog’s neck earlier that morning. The dog had whimpered lightly but eventually limped into the family station-wagon. Then and now the boys hands trembled. From a door opposite the family a man dressed in white emerges. The boy jumps to his feet only to be held back by his father who walks over to the man. The two exchange dialogue and the father looks back at the three, the smile on his face betraying the tears forming in his eyes. Gathering the family, the man in white leads them to a room of cages. The cage on the bottom left holds the boy’s dog. Sitting on it’s hind legs the dog barks and whines. The man in white, much to the boys surprise opens the cage door. The man in white ushers the family over to the dog, which besides the bandages on his lower abdomen seems fine. It is the father that is the first to greet the dog, a light tap on the back and a hug. Next is the younger brother, who gives the dog a hug that makes it whimper. The mother falls to her knees, running her hands along the dogs ears, she nuzzles up to the dog, who licks her already moistened face, she retracts from the dog quickly, leaving the rest of the family. Finally it is the boy’s turn, smiling he gives the dog a gentle hug, a kiss on his forehead, and a pat on the back. With his right hand he unrolls the leash he had brought the dog with. Almost cringing, the mother slowly shuffles the younger brother out of the room, leaving only the man in white, the father, and the boy. A mask of confusion covers the boys face as he stares at the dog’s neck. There is no collar. He looks back at his father, who quickly looks away; the man in white kneels down. Speaking to the boy, the man in white gently takes the leash out of the boy’s hand. He pats the dog on the head then puts his hand on the boys shoulder, he tells him more. Tears begin streaming down the boy’s face, he looks at his father, who is holding back his own tears, next at the man in white, who remains emotionless, then at his dog. The dog tilts it’s head slightly looking at the boy. The boy says something in his father’s direction but the father does not react. The dog raises its paw and places it on the boy’s knee. The boy turns back to his dog and he embraces it, sobbing into it’s fur. It nuzzles him back, the two sit still except for the motion of their breathing and the slight contortions of the boys sobs. On his shoulder the boy feels a familiar hand, it is his fathers. His father gently pulls him from the dog and turns him around, he looks right into his eyes, they are both silent. The boy wraps his arms around his father and cries. It is the man in white that interrupts them, he loudly closes the door to the cage, sealing the dog inside. The dog wearily peers out of the cage and whimpers; he continues whimpering as the man in white leads the boy and his father out of the room. Hope you liked it. I'm out of here. |

| Yeah, it's been sort of a boring/nerve-racking week. I've been at odds with a few friends and I've also been working at the gas station, meaning I've been bored as fuck for quite a few hours of the week. The only thing that saves me from complete boredom at the gas station is the little TV that I bought. It's a nice little thing to have especially when I'm stuck in a small room for almost 7 hours straight. It's such a boring job and the pay is so miniscule, ugh. It's so annoying having all these people come in and ask me the most retarded questions ever. People will come in and ask me what the price of gas is if they think it's too high. Like I'm fucking raising the price to benefit on my own, why don't you check the sign you fucking nimrod. Just a short update, I've got to do some work for the college course I"m taking at RIT. It's really great right now and I think some of the work I've produced for it is some of my best.I just hope I do well with my other stuff at regular school, my art stuff there is always in jeopardy because the art teacher is a huge dickhead. Yep. Peace. |

| This Kid is a dick. But yeah, anyway. Not much going on this past weekend besides almost being arrested. I won't go into details because I just don't need to. IT was quite the party weekend though. I start classes at RIT tommorow bright and early at 10 AM, yippie. Oh and I just want you guys to check out the Short story stuff to the right. It's worth looking at god damnit. I wrote it for creative writing awhile ago and I decided I'd change the story a bit and create and online feature. It's really coming along but the second part of it is quite long so it will be some time before I can get it online and functioning correctly. For people to lazy to read some of it, the story follows this guy named David. He wins a contest to spend the night in a bank vault to win $1000. Well, something happens while he is in there and when he leaves the bank vault the next day stuff is quite different. I'm nto going to divulge anything yet because part 2 of the story is a big part of it and it's better for it to be a surprise. Read it though, It took me a long time to write. See ya guys :) |

| Yep, school starts today and I'm pretty satisfied with my schedule. It almost seems as if I'm not in school it's so relaxed. Somedays I have only 2 classes and then the rest of the day I'm off :-D It's so freaking great. Here are some of my senior pics so people can look at me.  Sexy.  Oh yeah. I think these turned out sorta well and I'm not going to complain. I wish I had looked better the day they were taken cause I think I look better than that in real life. Here's a picture I like.  hehehehh |

There's some new content coming, something that's sorta big. You just wait, you'll be happy if you're intelligent.  Everyone needs to look at the sidebar and click on the icon that says Short Story . It's something new and it took me a while to design the stupid thing. I wanna hear some decent comments about it, so drop me an e-mail so I can feel important. Thanks. See ya. |

| No Updates cause I'm a bum. I know this and you might as well just accept it. I know people go to my site and they go to the frontpage and they're like "What a fucking moron, he hasn't updated in forever" these people that say this don't seem to understand that I have a life. Yeah, that's right. I have a life. Even though I don't believe what I just typed it has to mean something, even if it's just text. I sorta have a life but it's more like depressing scenes from a movie strung together loosely. There's the setting. Jon, living with his dysfuctional family in a big old house. Tonight there are guests. The mother and father anxiously prepare food, while the guests meander between rooms seeing with their hands. The younger of the two sons plays outside with his younger guest friends. The older son(Jon) sits on his computer. The mother puts on a smile until she enters the room her son(Jon) is in, upon entering her expression inverts, she is angry, but that is not new. The Rising Action. After the night with the guests and the incident that occured when the mother decided her son was not social enough, the son is banished to his room where he is told that he doesn't deserve what he has. He sighs then looks at what he has, what he has is not in balance with what he does not have. This is where this screenplay stops. I haven't finished it yet. There are a few scenes missing, the one where his parents go on his website and read his words, they think, our son is broadcasting to the world lies! LIES! that's a lie in itself. Completely switching modes here, I got some good stuff going on for me. I've gotten a job at the gas station in town, yeah I know, it's a gas station, but there isn't anything wrong with sitting around doing nothing for six hours and getting paid to do it. It's way more than I got paid at the supermarket and only a dollar less than at Red Lobster. It's great for me since I like just sitting and reading, the job could drive other people crazy though. School starts soon and I'm taking some classes at RIT. I'm so damn happy that my RIT friends are coming back, I can't wait to seem them and finally get back to some half-decent partying. That's all I feel like talking about right now, it's a decent sized update. There you go, I'm obliged. |

| Yeah so I was gone all this weekend at this wedding. It was my cousin Jared's, he was marrying his long-time girlfriend Justine. We left early Friday morning and arrived at my Aunt's house around 5 pm, it was a freaking long-ass trip. Though the trip down was boring, I was not bored. I read the new book I'd found in NYC. Ya know, Battle Royale.  battle royale! This is one gory book. It's roughly six-hundred pages and there are over forty gruesome deaths in it. There were actually points where I'd look away from my book and just cringe. If you're one of those kids like me that likes to read messed-up stuff purely for the sake knowledge, this is a book to buy. The thing about it is, yes there is alot of bloodshed, but some of the passages'll make you teary. Behind all the killing you see that these characters are really still kids and have no idea what they're doing. It's sad. We were going early to go to my aunt Pam's sub party. She basically bought subs for fifty people. The good thing about the party was that since all the old people were gathering outside on the deck, I was left to attend the alcohol in the kitchen. DOn't get me wrong, I'm not some messed-up drunk person, I just was having a horrible time and figured I'd loosen up with a couple drinks.  Then I was loosened. I was laughing like an idiot at anything anyone said. It was nice but at the same time I felt like a complete idiot. I was just being so dumb. I drank way too much and by the end of the night I was ready to throw up. I didn't however. I will continue with what happened tommorow. I don't feel like talking anymore.... HA.... |

Not much going on lately, that's why I haven't been updating the page as much. It's not that I'm lazy, I just don't have anything that interesting to say. I haven't done that much. I did buy some stuff though, some good stuff. I bought some new videogames. Pssht yeah, I know, loser.  Gitaro Man! This game kicks so much ass. You play this kid named U-1 and you have to save the world from something? I really don't know, there isn't much of a story. All I know is that it has some of the best music I've heard in a videogame. Shit, another short update, I'm sorry guys, I have to go. I promise one of these days I'll get around to a much bigger update. PROMISE. See ya. My brother is so annoying...blah~! |

| I'm back from NYC and the bitching has already begun. My parents have already started to bother me about anything possible. Jon do this, Jon do that, Jon make brownies from a hat. Well maybe they don't rhyme about it and maybe they didn't ask me to make brownies out of a hat, but they are sure bothering the hell out of me. Mowing the lawn is the only job I can do for money these days since I can't get a job. I can't get a job because I'm going to play school soccer. Here is the problem, they say I HAVE to play soccer or they get really pissed but on the other hand, if I don't get a job they make me feel bad all day. It's so fucking shitty. I was just sitting around today and remembering stuff and thinking about how this summer has been pretty odd. I haven't done a hell of a lot, but I already want to go back to school I miss the teachers, even though most of them I think are complete idiots. Every student with an ego think that though. The thing I'm looking most forward to is my friends coming back to RIT. I had so much fun their last year and lots of partying, too much partying. Those kids made me do alot of very bad things. It's great though, some of the best memories of my life I had there, as weird as that sounds. I got my senior pics on Monday and my mom and friends think I should use them as headshots, for modeling or something. I don't think I could be a model or whatever but it's nice to have people say I could be. Yea, I'm kicking the ego into OVERDRIVE right about now!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO A hyper Jon says, Peace |

| Sorry for the lack of updates, personal reasons I don't wish to delve into. Blah blah blah. Yeah, so anyway, the film class is finally over, and the film that my group created is quite the embarassment. It's really horrible and it really sucks. On a lighter note, I bought two books yesterday. I bought Battle Royale, the book that spawned the film hit in Japan. I love the film, it's my favorites foreign film and I can't wait to start reading. The premise is pretty simple. Battle Royale takes place in the not too distant future, supposedly if Japan had won World War II. The youth loses their respect for elders and begins to revolt. Their are countrywide school strikes and the government decides to put it all to an end. A program called the BR act is passed. The BR act takes the worst ninth grade class in the country, each year, and puts them on a deserted island. The students have three days to kill each other. The survivor is the only one allowed to leave the island. The problem is there can be only one survivor. Attached to the students necks are collars, if there is not only one survivor after three days, the necklaces explode. As you can imagine, things get pretty intense and quite gory. It's incredibly violent considering that the principle actors are teenagers. It's an incredibly powerful thing however, and the violence is there to prove a point.  The instructional video the students are shown when they find out they're going to fight in the Battle Royale. Dark Humor.  Last years winner, yikes. The film is pretty hard to find in the United States because of the whole Columbine thing. I really recommend seeing it though. You can find it on ebay and amazon.co.uk . Well, I have to go shop with my friend cause apparently you do that in New York? See ya. |

| Well, the last couple days have sort of sucked and I haven't really been having too much fun. I really miss being home and being with my family and friends. I'm used to having fun and doing stuff I want to, but here it's like I'm just back at school. If I could go back and decide whether to go or not, I'd definetly not have come here. First of all, I have a curfew and it's bullshit. Besides that, the people here are just not what I expected. I had so much fun last year and this year has turned into such a waste. The teacher I talked about earlier, I told him I was here last year. He goes "why the heck did you come back"? That's the sort of encouragement I'm getting. The whole social situation doesn't help either. The people here already seperated into their little groups the first day. The girl I was hanging out with, Demetrea, she is now clinging onto this other guy. I have no friends here. It sucks!  That was an image I was going to put on the splash page to the site(when you go to just snowspot.net) but I thought it'd be a bit too morbid. I was also thinking of putting this:  But I didn't necessarily create that. It's fillerbunny from the JTHM comics. I get into Jhonen Vasquez and his comics when I get depressed. I really get into pitch-black humor. Lately I've been VERY into it. That's all I'm going to say right now. Things are sucking extremely. *sigh* See ya. |

| It's been a tiring couple days, so I'm sorry that I haven't been able to update as much. I usually don't update a hell-of-a-lot but lately I really haven't had anything else to do, that's mainly because of the lame curfew we have. All the pre-college students have to be in their rooms by ten o'clock on weekdays, and twelve o'clock on weekends. It's so goddamn annoying, I mean, I'm in fucking New York City and I have to be in bed before anything fun starts to happen. It's not like I could do much, I'm only seventeen but I still think we should be able to do what we want. If they had the parents just sign a release saying the college wasn't responsible for the students whereabouts it'd make things alot easier. The first week of classes is over and I'd be lying if I said it was even close to as good as last year. It's been horrible, well, not horrible but not as good as last year. The screenwriting teacher loathes me I think because I was reading a book in his class. The class is so damn boring and he didn't seem to care at first. Then he stops the whole fucking class and points out I'm reading. Yeah thanks you dick, I'm reading because you can't keep my interests. Later in the class I asked him to look over my short script. It's about a supermarket and I want to hopefully produce it next year. The guy looks at me and goes "Yeah, you do that doing class then ask me a favor, you're going to do really well in the business!" I understand he'd be mad, but the tone in his voice made me want to sock the guy. It was the most fucking sarcastic thing I'd ever heard and he kept repeating it over and over again. Luckily, he liked the script and gave me some pointers. Our filmmaking group seems so misguided, their story idea is absolutely horrible. I'm trying to tell them that this isn't going to work and these shots cannot be pulled off in the time alotted but they just won't listen. They go through this whole tyrade about how we MUST shoot this scene on the subway. YOU CAN'T SHOOT ON THE SUBWAY, IT ISN'T ALLOWED. I kept telling them that, I knew because last year we had wanted to shoot a portion of ours down there. They kept arguing with me, so I get pissed and ask to go to the bathroom just to get away from them. I come back, low and behold, the teacher told them they aren't allowed to teach on the subway. HA! New York is a pretty interesting city. Everything is overpriced but you can find anything you need. It's a weird trade-off. I found some DVD's that you can't really find anywhere around me but they were like forty bucks! Who the fuck pays forty dollars for a DVD that was probably produced for around seven? Gah! It's so annoying when you're a film student and you can't buy films. I don't know what Criterion is thinking, they're the only place you can buy classic films and they charge exhorbited amounts of money for them. They charge fucking forty dollars for a ninty minute movie. God I want to break off one of their arms and then mess with it. Like, smack a girls ass...I dunno, what the hell would I do with a severed arm? I think what's got me annoyed up here is that no one remembers me. I was here last year and none of the teachers recall me, I actually had to tell them I was here last year. They don't catch on, it makes me aware of how invisible you are when you're a loser. Only when someone is attractive are they noticed, if not you're pushed to the back of someone's memory. It's sad but it's true, people only like me now because I'm not fat anymore and I care how I look. I'm a tool, I'll readily admit that, but if becoming a tool helps me to enjoy life more then I'm all for it. It's funny, these days everyone tries to be so "unique" and different. When all that's different about them, whether is be clothes, music, or their attitude, is basically something that was copied from someone else. There are no longer unique people, just creative people. They find ideas and they change them or alter them a bit, but there is nothing made up, there is nothing original. Well, I think I'm going to go catch a movie cause I'm a loser. I'll update once again tonight if I find the time (is he kidding?). Catch you later. |

| Today was a long and incredibly boring day. Today was the first day of classes at SVA. SVA, if you didn't already know from my previous posts, stands for The School Of Visual Arts. It's located in NYC, and that's where I'm spending three weeks over the summmer. Good, now that that is all straightened out I can explain how today sucked royal ass. I"m not saying all this to be one of those "I hate life" people. I just really had a bad time since I knew everything they were going to say. The day started out on the wrong foot. I woke up at eight and went to shower, I turn the shower on and brown water starts pouring out of the faucets. Well, I hope it was water. Anyway, I ended up just washing my hair. I get dressed in- what the fuck do you care what I dress in you freak? Instead of starting classes, today we had a big meeting where we all learned about the program we are enrolled in. It was long and drawn out and I almost fell asleep twice. If it wasn't for this kid next to me that sorta smelled like beefy jerky, I don't know if I could have stayed awake. The kid smelled so good, and I hand't really had breakfast. I really wanted to bite him but I thought, hey that might be a weird thing to do during orientation, if I bit him later people would know me and not make that big a deal. So if that kid is reading this, I want him to know that he is going to be bitten by me. After the long orientation, we all went to our selected classrooms and began "learning". Well, ha, we didn't really learn. It was more like ... assisted suicide. Except I didn't want to commit suicide and no one was helping me do it. I guess it's not really like assisted suicide at all. But I felt like I wanted to kill myself by the end. Well, that was at least until we got to watch a video. Visual Stimulation, WOO FuCKING HOO! We watched this old film, so old it was on a reel, called "War Games". It was basically a simulation of what would happen during a nuclear war. Very graphic, in fact, it was insanely graphic for the time it was made. I'd recommend it if you ever get a chance to view it. After that we had a lunch break, me and this girl named Demetrea hung out and went to this small place called Molly's Pub. It was on 22nd street and it's this really nice looking old place. There was saw-dust on the floor and all the waiters and waitresses had Irish accents. It makes me wonder if anyone has ever faked something like that to get a job. Maybe at a Chinese restaurant? After eating, the second class began. It's so painful I don't even want to talk about it. Just remember these two words: Underpants Cucumber. I won't tell you how they're important now, but trust me you will need to remember those words. That's all for now I'm sooo fucking tired. Fuck u people I'm going to sleep! |

| Well I'm here and I'm all settled in. I got the labtop hooked up, the TV pluged in, the broadband connection, the food, the air conditioner and everything else. I'm currently sitting here and enjoying my freedom. I can't tell you what a relief it is to be away from their constant...parenting. I don't even know if it could be considered parenting, it's just annoying me or yelling at me. There is no in between, just a constant barrage of words. It's ok though, I take this time off each year so I can come back and deal with it. Then by this time next year I'll be ready for college and ready to go :-D I'm really enjoing the Family Guy boxed set I got. What a freaking amazing show, can't believe people didn't watch it and it got canned. What are people, fucking retarded? Here's a screenshot I'm taking with the screenshot taker thing, cause I feel all cool. Yeah, here it is...WOO.  Yeah, look at that shit. I took that right off the DVD. Yep, all me, no one else. FUCK YEAH! God I'm bored... All the other little bastards staying during these three weeks are making friends already. What the hell? How do you meet someone and hang out in the course of about six hours? I'm either I'm a social reject, or they're just very needy people. I'm such a loser, I actually hung up a sign that said "need to go on the internet? ask me". Maybe I'm the needy person. I've decided I'm going to use the time down here to work on all aspects of my creativity. Ya know, like, I'm going to work on my graphic design shit, my short story stuff, and of course my web design. I'm going to hopefully add my big thirty page short story to the site. I might even add a script after I get it critiqued by the guy who runs the whole program. He's a film major and he's worked in the industry and all of that. It's pretty nice to be able to get that done considering all the teachers near me are teaching inept. This is a logo of a place located near my dorm. I thought it was cool enough to snap a picture of and upload. So you better damn well appreciate it.  I'm going to be updating a lot more often because I'll probably be in my room quite a bit. The internet here doesn't even work during the day, so it's pointless to stay online at night. It's really a damn let down too. My parents paid all this cash and the internet only works at certain times. Isn't it weird how something so good always seems to have a catch. It's odd, whenever something really great happens to people, there has to be some sort of problem that stops it from being perfect. Ah well, just me whining I guess. I'm out for the night, not sure what I'll do. I'm bored already. Heh. bye all. |

| Well, I'm here and things are great so far. I've eaten alot of crap that I shouldn't have, I've gotten a new dvd, and I'm almost about to get away from my parents. Woo! It's such an awesome place down here, you have no idea till you've actually been here. The people are the greatest part, just watching them and meeting them is half the experience here. Already I've been extremely pissed off at people and on the other hand, happy they're there. I was walking to the movie theatre and enjoying being away from the barrage of insults my little brother throws at me. It was definetly the most ghetto part of the city I've been in, even though it isn't really ghetto. There's a rundown CVS market and some other things that make the street look a little sketchy. I was walking by a phonebooth when this woman just stares at me, she's walking straight at me so I dodge her. She walks by and sort of molests my hand, for who knows what reason. This wasn't too bad and I was sorta flattered some woman wanted to touch me. So I pushed on and arrived at the theatre, as I got there I went to open the door and this young african-american girl comes up and just walks right into me. She walks right the fuck into me, I was really pissed but I just walked by her. Then her whole family just stand in front of the door as I try to get in, like I was opening the door for them and not myself. They just stand there staring at me. Ya see, that shit pisses me off. If you stand in front of me, I will swear at you in my head. Inversely, there are also people in the city that're quite helpful. I was walking across the street and I happened to go a little late, right as the light was turning. A car was on route to hit me but didn't because a guy on a bike turned in front of him. The guy was staring at me as he peddled away, so either he was saying "your welcome" or "I'm a homosexual". Either way, he helped me out. Well my mom has come to bitch at me. I'm off. |

| It's here, it's finally here. I'm packing, I'm getting ready to go. All my stuff is pretty much packed and my stomach is getting that tingly feeling. That feeling where you aren't sure if you're going to throw up or you just need to eat a hamburger. I'm freaking out though, three weeks in NYC, that's alot of time! Only hitch right now is that I can't find my goddamn glasses. I actually had a dream that I found my glasses, how retarded is that? That's pretty retarded! Tonight'll be fun though, the whole family is going to watch fireworks in NYC. Apparently it's a huge deal there because they're shutting down an entire street for them. I never understood the whole big deal with fireworks, loud shiny things I guess. It'll be nice if my family can actually get along for the night. We're so messed it's crazy, all we do is fight all day. Then at night sometimes we argue in our sleep. On Sunday, I'm home free. No family to worry about, I'm only focused on the filmmaking stuff. It's a nice feeling, having no worries except having a good time. Cause that's what filmmaking is for me, a really good time. I'm already writing the script that's due the second week of class. I'm doing it now because I figure that my group will be too lazy to do it. Shit, I probably shouldn't have written that, they might read this. I'm going to be handing out my website URL like a fat kid hands out...wait that doesn't make sense. Here's a kitty. Wait, scratch that, kitty pictures are overdone. Here's a...um...Dingo!  Dingo! I thought it'd be really funny to have the dingo eating a baby. Cause of the whole "a dingo ate your baby"...yeah, you know the joke. I was thinking about that stuff yesterday. The dead baby jokes. It was right before a soccer game and we were all standing on the sidelines "chatting", this kid Mike starts talking about his car. He's like "Guess what I have stuck in my tire". Most kids said a nail or something, one kid said a monkeywrench...I think he was trying to be funny. I was sitting there laughing to myself, cause I thought, how funny would it have been if I'd said dead baby. These kids are all uptight bastards, so I think I would have just gotten weird looks Wooo, I found my glasses. I'm happy, all is well. Now I have to take a shower and I'm off. I actually found the glasses where I had left them in my dream (about my glasses). Funny eh? I bet you're laughing, it's hysterical. I'm off for the day, update Saturday? Possibly... Update Sunday? Definetly. That's all for now, enjoy my wealth of updates, for they come less often than most people would hope. See ya! |

| Ahhh, I can't believe I'm going to be in New York City soon. Time is bearing down on me and soon I'll be on the road. Today will be spent packing and saying goodbye to my friends. Today will also be spent listening to the rantings and ravings of my mother who apparently cannot hear me from the next room. Anyway, I hope you guys are enjoying the new look to the site, I spent a bit of time and got some help from someone and it turned out pretty decently. I'm not a grammerolergerist, so excuse the abuse of English. While I'm in NYC I'm going to be uploading pictures and writing stories of my "crazy" adventures. You can read those on the right under "NYC". It's pretty self-explanitory and if you can't understand it I will find some way to injure you. I keep thinking about how this is going to be a long three weeks. I won't get to see my friends or Chris and it's going to freaking suck. Laura and Chris are supposed to come up and see me, hopefully we can get in some trouble or something. I want to bring them up and show them the best places for pizza and stuff like that. The pizza in NYC is by far the best in the country(I almost typed "by fart" *laughs hysterically* ). I remember when I went last year I probably gained about five pounds because I was living on pizza. Well back then I was just plain fat so maybe I just moved my elbow a certain way and gained five pounds. It's really odd how I've changed in the last year. The first year I went I was so unsocial. I was terrified of going to New York City and meeting new people and trying to make friends. I totally sucked at making friends. I got there and I met Ashley and it was really the best Summer of my life. I was totally unsocial and I only really hung with Ashley and this dorky kid named Matt, but it was more social than I had been the entire school year. I have a feeling that this year will be a lot more fun. As you've probably discerned from my post, I've changed quite a bit. Lots more friends, doing better in school, more attractive(I hope), and I care less about what others think about me. It's crazy to think all this happened in one year. It'a really crazy to think that at the same time last year I weighed 180 pounds and now I weigh 130. Yay for soccer keeping me in the best shape I've ever been in. Hmmm, this sorta sounds like an entire entry praising myself... well fuck you people I'm happy for once. The laptop I'm bringing to NYC will help nicely, so each day I can post something before I go to bed. Fuck, I probably won't even get to sleep. I'll be up all night Iming people(tool) and downloading movies(tool) and listing to britney spears(...)(j/k). I have to wake up at eight for classes and I'm thinking I have to be in bed by at least one. That gives me a good seven hours of sleep. Whatever happens in NYC, I can't wait for it to happen. My next post will be from NYC most likely, or it'll be the flash DVD thing I've been working on to upload. -Peace! |

Cause I know some ass is going to e-mail me and say "hey retard there are better songs than "Wolf at the Door", you freaking newbie". I hate those e-mails. Anyway, check out those bands and check out their websites. Check the songs too, I think I'll upload the ex-girlfriend song so everyone can hear it, since most likely you won't find it anywhere else.

| IT's almost time for me to leave and I'm very excited. I'm also a bit sad about the whole thing. I really won't get to see my "significant other" for a while and I'm definetly going to miss my friends. Luckily I rented a laptop from Rent-a-center and I'll be able to talk with everyone online. It's so great...I'm on it right now!!! I'm looking forward to the fast T3 connections at SVA. At RIT they had connections that went about 10 megs per second, it was freaking great. I just wanna get up there and be able to download shit really fast. I'll probably get bored with it in the first few days, but hey..why the hell not. Today was pretty fun. I picked up the laptop, went and got a credit card for the trip, had my cellphone fixed, then went to Olive Garden for some great Italian food. God that shit is great, if you don't like Olive Garden you're a communist. A FRIGGIN Communist! I'll be posting some flash stuff up for when I'm gone and I'm working on it quite feverishly, trying to get it finished. It'll be up though and it's pretty darn good. That's all for now. |

| Ahhh, today was pretty darn relaxing. It's my official first day of summer and I spent it doing absolutely nothing. It was just me and my copy of Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire and the hot summer sun. I was out there tanning and reading it so I could look hot for tommorow. I'm going to Darien Lake with Chris, I bought some all-day passes for us and we're going to the water park there. Besides tanning today, me and my friends Roger and Laura hung out and drove my families four-wheelers. It was great, like it always is, Laura rode on mine and whenever we'd go off a jump she's almost fly off the damn thing. Roger on the other hand, was flying by in the other four-wheeler trying to race against me. Bastard tried to brake and turn at the same time and ended up flipping on his side. After we rode on the four-wheelers we went to Rogers house, then to Target. When I was there, Roger bought me some Sugar Babies. THOSE THINGS ARE MY FAVORITE CANDY!  Sugar Babies! I can't explain how much I enjoy these things. Little caramel balls that I put and my mouth and I suck on them. Yup, that's what I said. Roger liked them alot, but I fucking left them in his car, which I shouldn't have because I wanted them. It's better though, they're the most unhealthy food I've ever eaten, maybe that's why I like them so much. After that we hopped on over to the Eastview mall, well we didn't hop, but I sorta skipped over. Fuck it, I just said that to sound funny, we drove. We drove over and I ate at Sbarro's pizza. That place is the biggest rip-off in the mall. All I bought was once slice of pizza and a large Diet Coke and it cost me $4.44! Can you believe that? It's ridiculous! Roger and Laura got good food from Tom Wahl's, I pretty much just ate their food since the pizza I got was rancid anyway. We all left the mall and they dropped me off at my house, I took my shirt off and went to mow the lawn again. My parents gave me alot of cash to do it and basically it's my only source of income over the summer. My lawn is huge though, so alot of cash isn't unfair. I have to mow ten acres and it ends up taking about three hours if I do it correctly. I finished that up then came back here and napped. And what a beautiful nap it was, I have an air-conditioned room so it's pretty damn nice up there. And here I am now. Having updated the news page and put in some new graphics. The news page is pretty darn spiffy now and I think it helps the site look more professional(whatever that means). I have to go since it's pretty late, I'll be updating this more as my trip to NYC edges nearer. Have fun. See ya. |

| Yeah, I'm so freaking exhausted right now. IT's not even over either! I have so much stuff to do in the next week and a half. Things are definetly getting stressful. I have to do all these projects for school. Really stupid shit to like a final project for photo, who does that stuff? Can't we just give u the photos we did during the year? Is a final project necessary to see how well I take pictures? Here's a little list of the shit I have to do in the next few days: 1.) Finish English Portfolio 2.) Finish Photo Final Project 3.) Finish Creative Writing Final Project 4.) Finish US History Final Project 5.) Finish Math Regents Review Book 6.) Study for Math Regents 7.) Study for Chemistry Regents 8.) Study for English Regents 9.) Study for History Regents All that on top of homework that I'm still getting for most subjects. I'm so worried about failing any of this, I can't since I want to get in a decent college. I either want to get into NYU, St John's or SVA.  I went here last summer and I'm going here this Summer too. This is my first choice for the teaching and the learning. I really like the atmosphere and it doesn't seem like many assholes live there ;) Anyway, I can't wait to go again this Summer. |

| Just wanted to pop in and let everyone know I'm not dead yet. Well not much anyway, I'm still sorta sore from my soccer game last night but I think I'll recover. Damn those soccer kids like to kick me, I got kicked in my achilles heal or tendon or whatever and someone kicked me right in the thigh. Most teams aren't this bad but we were playing this team from a town near us called Brighton and we have a sort of rivalry against them. It all started when one kid on my team punched a kid's throat from the other team. Then it continued into the indoor season. Many penalties later and now we're outdoors again and I'm getting kicked in my freaking thigh. Yeah this is all really interesting to you I bet. I have to make this short since I'm going to school in a couple moments. In my new car! Yeah! I can drive now so I'm like the hot shit that gets to drive people home. Funny thing about getting my license, I spend more time driving other people than driving myself. Well that's about all I have time to write up here, I'm going to be able to post more often now cause I have more free time(yippie). See ya. |

Pictures For you!!!!  My parents getting intoxicated.  During the cruise we went to mexico and we swam with stingrays, this was during the boatride to the stingrays. I don't know who that guy on the right is, but apparently he thought my dad was taking a picture of him.  This is a picture my dad took. Yeah, he thought this was hilarious. And I'm spent, I just took like 20 minutes writing a full entry on here only to have it be deleted by my browser. I hate my browser and I hate it's assface. I'll be adding more pictures as this week progresses. Enjoy these since.. they're so cool and stuff. If you want to see a full picture of them you'll have to do some work, and travel to the pictures section. If you don't know how to get there...you're retarded. But it's down at the bottom of the screen in case you are, if you really are I'm sorry I didn't mean to offend you. Well... I can't say that in all honesty, I've dug my hole, I'm gone. |

| It's been a long couple weeks and things haven't been panning out as well as I had hoped. I'm getting tired, really tired. I'm getting stressed out by everything. My parents seem to believe that since they had me they are entitled to make me miserable. Every second of my life with them is miserable, every fucking second. I can't be with my mother without her complaining about something. If I ask my mom to go out somewhere for lunch or dinner she gets this smartass smirk and asks "you got the money?". I wouldn't mind all this if my life was incredibly easy right now, but it's not. I'm juggling alot of things right now. Yesterday I was so so stressed I almost passed out. First my parents complained I didn't have a job, wanting to get them off my back I recieved an internship through my school. Now they complain I don't have a "real" job. All I hear is these comparisons to my peers and how I look like this horrible loser. There's never been a time in my life where I've been carefree, even on my cruise to the caribbean I was constantly reminded of how I wasn't allowed to have money. What the fuck? Why can't they just give me a break, I could understand if my family was poor...but they aren't they pull in much more than most families. It's as if they're testing the boundaries of my sanity, seeing how much I can handle. I'm nearing my breaking point I'm doing well in other things but this one factor of my life is really pulling me down. It makes it seem like life isn't worth living, or maybe that there is nothing for me to live for. It's already begun, my mother and father saying that I won't be able to get in the college I want. Also, they're telling me that they won't help me pay for college. Ugh...alas, I am gone. |

| Wow, I'm really sorry you guys, I've been totally ignoring this site! I guess it's been other stuff in my life right now. I've been hanging out with my friends, trying to get decent grades, and I just went on a cruise. The cruise was great and I got five rolls of film from it, which I'm going to upload to this website, they're black and white so they'll come slowly. I've been really bored and really busy, sorta sounds like a paradox or something right? Well it's not because I've been bored of being busy. I'm sooo busy and yet so bored. Yeah ok, I'll shut up now. Right now I'm working on a creative writing short story, in it I'm writing about this guy who wins a contest to stay in a bank vault for the night and win $1000. When he leaves the vault the next day the city is gone and there's been some nuclear disaster. It's crazy mad reading fun and I think when it's all done, I'm going to post it on here, it'll be neato..yes neato. How gay is saying neato? I have no idea, but I went there and wow was it gay. I'll update some more later, see ya later...TEAM. |

| I haven't posted in forever, I'm sorry you guys. I've just been super busy, with life and crap. I really have no drive to type anything right now, I'm sure I will later during one of my spurts of...something something. I'm going to probably change the layout of the site :-0. So look for that :-p see ya. |

| Yeah, I haven't updated in quite a bit, I'm getting around to it, stuff has just been either really boring or really hectic. I'm actually going to try to do well in school this quarter so my parents don't bitch at me 24/7, it should be a nice little experiment. With all this going on I haven't really had a chance to sit down and write a noteworthy update. I had on going on last night until my little brother (who is a bastard it so happens) unplugged the computer erasing all my writing. I hate little brothers, I hate my own and I hate others. They, for some reason, feel the need to latch on to whatever I like. Whatever I'm into at the current moment, whether it be clothes or electronics, my little brother has to have a better version of it. That "he looks up to you" shit is nice but it still doesn't help the fact he buys the same T-shirts as me. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with the site right now, there isn't much time to do updates lately so I feel weird. I definetly want to keep it up an running but I don't know why people would visit unless there was new content. I'm thinking about scanning all of my photo's and creating an album or archive of my stuff. Supposedly my stuff is pretty dark even though I'm described as a happy, cheery person by people. Well maybe people don't say that but my photos are dark and somewhat empty. Maybe it's some subconcious thing where I'm not really happy but I think I am, so I am, but I'm really not. If you can understand that last sentence you can have my website, I will give it to you. Now that I think about it, I'm a pretty happy guy lately. I've got a 'significant other' and I'm doing well in soccer and school. I have more friends now and I'm not nearly as exhausted as I used to be. My body is also really good compared to what it used to be, I've been running on my treadmill. Oh and I'm writing that script or... I wrote it and I'm still waiting for it to be critiqued. I'm just whining actually, the guy said that he has to look at about 3 classes worth of scripts before he gets to mine. Hmm, I need some filler. Here are a couple random links to "spark" your interest, have fun with these cause... I have no idea. |

| Updates Updates Updates. Have not been a part of my site lately. I'm really sorry that I'm never here, it's pretty aggrivating I bet. Maybe you long on every once in a while and u get here and there isn't any content. I'm really sorry about that,I'm trying, it's just that thing have been incredibly hectic lately and I haven't had a chance to sit down and write a 500+ word update for the site. I'm going to try though, I really want to improve the site and turn it into something that I could possibly brag about. It's something that I could definetly put on a resume, that's of course if I get rid of the employment journal. Oh, while we're on the topic of employment, I'm quite possibly becoming employed in the near future(Monday). I started going into Red Lobster to begin the application process. This includes: 1.Filling Out the Application 2.Taking a Standardized Test 3.Completing a Job Interview It sounds like a lot of work right? It is! But I think it'll end up being worth it, everyone there seems to be happy they're working there and they enjoy their job. The manager doesn't seem like he's a complete dick either, at least not like Scott my last manager. That guy was such a dick and I could tell when I first met him too. He walked up to me with this smug little expression on his face and began saying things I don't care about. Besides being at a secure job and enjoying it, I'd get tips, since I'm the busboy. There's all this and a lot of added benefits, they want decent employess that will stay and be happy and all that BS. Oh, I finally took my 5-hour driving course, it only took a year. My road test is set for March 10, at 1:00pm. IT's great! I love driving and I can't wait to take MY car out using MY money that I earned from MY job at RED Lobster. I don't know why I underlined lobster it just sounded better. The only thing I don't like is paralell-parking, I hate that stuff I'm so horrible at it. Oh well, I'll learn and my friend Chris lets me practice on his car so that's nice :-D Things are going so great right now in my personal life and my school life and that's why I haven't been here constantly updating things. I promise I will and I promise I'll have some more content for you as soon as possible. I'm just busy. Busy with friends and busy with school, basically busy with life. I finished my first screenplay recently and I sent to one of the professors I had for my New York City trip. I'll post here what the e-mails said in an effort to take up space: Jon, Good morning, hope this e-mail finds you well. Sorry for not getting back to you sooner, but with three classes, fifty-five students all submitting story ideas and papers at the same time, it has been a bit crazed. I have your script and my plan is to read it within the next few days. Thank you for your trust in submitting it to me. I am looking forward to reading it and e-mailing you back my thoughts. Jon, Good morning, hope this e-mail finds you well.

You can also reach me at my office at: (212) 592-2194. Speak with you soon. Sal ------------ See what a nice little letter, I love it when people actually help me with shit, unlike teachers :) My script takes place in a supermarket(go figure) and there are three main characters; Jake, Scott, and Jenn. I really think I wrote something good here, and when it's completely finished(meaning all the kinks are worked out) I'll post it up here and you can read my masterpiece. Well I have to go now, I'll be working on updating things behind the scenes. You keep coming, I'll keep updating. See ya soon. |

| Damn, I really seem to be neglecting my website shit. I haven't been around and when I'm around I'm usually doing school work or talking to my friends. Jon has friends! Yeah I know, holy shit right? I'm really sorry if you actually come here to read stuff because I know I'd stop coming back if these updates were so infrequent. On the interenet everyone expects everything to be instantaneous and they get impatient. I've actually asked other people to post updates on here but I always end up just cutting them off, this is my little site and I want it to be all original(except for the news script-Brendyn). The last couple weeks I've been looking at the site I realized that there is actually a hell-of-a-lot to do on here. You got cartoons to look at, reviews to read, and all the other stuff that doesn't really feel like typing itself. My next goal for this site is adding more multimedia, more video, and more poo-tang. Well scratch that last addition but you understand what I mean. It needs to be more interactive and I need to make it more personal. That's why I'm going to start taking my DV camera to places I go to. Don't be suprised if you log on this site and see a video of me bowling, yes I bowl. Right now, I'm planning on taking the camera to RIT. Rochester Institute of Technology. I have some friends there and we usually hang out on the weekends, if I take it you can see these people! Isn't that fucking amazing? It's like...I'm taking the party to you! Shit. Fuck. That is amazing. After I do that I'm going to edit stuff together to show what I did on the weekend. I'll make fake bloopers so I look like a funny person. Why would I have bloopers on a video where no one is acting? I have no idea. It'd just be something fun to do. I'll do stuff like fall down and make farting noises. Farting noises are fucking funny aren't they? Like one time when I was in Idaho on a trip with my parents, there was this disabled kid and he was just sorta sitting there. I went up next to him and I made a farting noise and everyone laughed. It was truly hysterical and I knew that when that child wheeled himself home he'd be laughing too. But enough about that, I want to get into the real meat of this plan. This plan for videos and stuff. Eventually video is going to play an integral part of my website. You'll log on, you'll laugh, you'll cry, then you'll watch a video. It'll make the site more entertaining and it'll give my shallow life a purpose. My purpose is to entertain, to enrich with technology, to shun society! Yeah! It'll be mad, crazy, and whack. All this starts on friday, when I bring my camera to RIT. I will get some really great stuff on video! I'll tape us eating, eating is hilarious right? Well I'll definetly get us eating, then maybe I'll move on to watching TV. Everyone loves watching people that are watching tv right? I could hook up the camera so that we are watching ourselves watching TV, watching ourselves, watching TV! The possibilites are endless, endless I freaking tell you! You just wait. By Saturday night I'll have something for you to watch and when I do, you'll be fucking amazed with me. You'll be like "Jon, I'm fuckin' amazed by you, and your large member." And I'll be like "Dude, thank you, please stop calling me in the middle of the night." I'm psyched, I'm stoked, I'm happy, I'm leaving. See ya! |

| Hey, it's me and I'm back again. Sorry if my updates have been a bit sparse but my life has been hectic the last couple days/weeks. School is finally going decently, I just need to keep focused on it, in fact, right now I should be doing US History homework. Oh Well. It's nice, school is actually becoming more of a fun thing than something depleting my free time. Last week I purchased another dreamcast. You see, I had a dreamcast during the height of it's popularity, I was obsessed with the little thing. I had saved up months before the release date because I wanted to be the first person in my town to get one. I was, on 9/9/99, their gimmicky release date, I purchased the DC and Sonic Adventure. I got home in the car and was so psyched, I giddily opened the box and looked at the Sonic Adventure instruction book. The ride home was very tedious, I just wanted to get home fast but the ride just wouldn't end. Well, we finally did get home and I raced up to my room. Ripping the Dreamcast from it's cardboard womb I pulled my tv out of the wall and went to connect the correct cords. Then it hit me, there were no Audio/Video inputs on my TV. The little thing was shit! I had gone through all this trouble of saving up the last couple months for nothing, it wasn't even possible to hook it up to my television. I started flipping out, this was bullshit, the stupid assholes at Sega had fucked me over. I looked in the instruction manual after throwing most of the box and it's contents around my room. There was something called an RF adapter that let me hook it up to my tv through the cable input, ya know, the thing that you hook cable up to. Next, downstairs, in an act of desperation I threw myself upon our kitchen table and began crying. I became a messy heap of tears and fat, blubbering to my parents of the months I'd done chores. It worked perfect, my dad volunteered to go out to Electronic Boutique(EB) and pick up the DC. He told me to take the initiative though and call EB to see if they had it. I did this and they did have one, they had ONLY ONE. So I had my dad drive out there really fast and pick it up, those fucks at EB wouldn't let me reserve because they're self-righteous dickheads. Well my dad got there in time and picked them up and brough them back. It was great, I was finally playing. The DC came with a demo disc and I popped that in first, knowing full well I wanted to play Sonic Adventure first. I guess I liked to do this to myself so it was more rewarding when I played. The demo disc was great, I got to play Powerstone, which turned out to be my favorite game of all time. Well anyway, this story is getting long. I bought a DC for $30 bucks last week and I'm getting all nostalgic while playing.  Dreamcast Power!!!!! YEAH!!!!! Recently I've noticed that I've been swearing way too much, it's been in the last couple days. Maybe it's just cause I'm not getting any lovin' or one of my best friends is ignoring me to hang out with this total loser of a kid. It's ok I guess, she's like that sometimes, I'm sort of not like that ever, but we're different people. Oh I have another thing to complain about, no one ever comes to my site. What the heck? Where are all the people, I have content! Lots and lots of content! You could stay on here for 2 hours pretty much, I mean that's impressive for someone like me with no drive. If you come to my site please tell people, tell them in school, at work, or just write my site name all over message boards. I need the hits, I need to be loved, I need to go now. This was my update. See ya later guys. |

| Yes! Today my widescreen tv gets fixed! Meaning... I can watch stuff on it and I can play videogames on it. This is sooooo fucking great, it's been broken for weeks. I'll be creating another video shortly, for all you people that rabidly check my website for updates. FREAKS... I'm just kidding, it's great. My last post was really depressing, I'm sorry about that, I just needed to get that all out of my head. And what better wat to do that but online in front of a couple hundred people that visit. Yes, today is going to have a normal boring post and I can show you some of the stuff I bought and what I've been up to. Here goes. Movies:  Chicago I loved this film, the choreography and the singing was spectacular. Catherine Zeta-Jones was great and so was Richard Gere. I really want to see this movie again because I loved it so much. For some reason it's not in wide release, oh well.  Catch Me If You Can This movie suprised me. It's a Leonardo Dicaprio flick and if anyone has seen 'The Beach' or 'Celebrity' they know that his last string of films sucked the royal ass. This film however was very entertaining and Leo actually does a great job. The ending is a bit of a letdown but besides that it's a great popcorn flick. I'm sorry, that's all for now, the freaking TV people will be here soon and I have to help them for some reason. I'll make a new vid about my TV working....isn't that exciting!??! See ya (insert name of vistor here) PS: Ya know (insert name of vistor here), you're my best friend. |

| It's been a hard week friends. There have been break-ups and there have been friends letting me down, there have been a great amount of unhappinesses. It's getting better though, and that's all I can hope for, I mean what else could I hope for? The breaking up thing, I'm not sure it's final, it's on hiatus, and in my situation I'm not sure what that means or exactly how to deal with it. I'm sure it means there's a chance of persuing it further but in reality I really don't think so. The ditching of me by my friends happened on two seperate occassions, yet in the same night. I know I need friends, but whenever I reach out my hand gets slapped away. I make so many attempts to talk to them, to be with them, but there seems to be a reason I'm secluded from these people. I don't know what it is though. I talk to them in school and converse online, but it's like this friend that's good to use then ignore. Ahh I don't know, I'm not going to worry about it, it's been like this, it will be like this. The break-up, ahh. This is hard for me, I liked this person quite a bit, I still do actually. As much as I try the situation can't change, it won't work and it can't. I guess it's one of those things that I just can't change no matter how hard I try. Jeez that sounded like an eminem lyric, I'm getting sketchy. Sorry about that. It's hard, I've never cared about someone that I've dated so much. It's actually affecting me, it's not like I expected. You know when you watch a movie, and someone breaks up with someone else, and you're like "dude, stop being a retard and get on with your life"? I would think that but it's not easy like that. It's like there's me, and there's this other person and we're connected. Now that it's over, I think of the way we would talk to each other and how that won't ever go back to the way it was. This person brought out the best in me and that's all I could ask for. I don't think I'm whining here, I hope I'm not. I need to get this off my chest. I need some way to express myself, since bottling it up didn't work out well. All those happy little posts during the beginning of this site, they're shit. I wasn't happy at all. I'm more happy than I've ever been, except for a few minor complaints and a bit of sadness. This Christmas leading up to my birthday was hellish. All this happened either on my birthday or right after it. Doesn't it suck not being able to control things and not knowing what to do? I think it is and I think that life is much harder than it needs to be. I just wish everything could work out well and maybe things could get easier for me, I just want to be happy and I just want to be able to do things that make other people happy. It's not like I'm asking for perfection, just stability, that's never been a part of my life. In my boredom and on my birthday's eve(new year's eve), I made this video. I'm very pissed in it. Ya see, my parents had a big party downstairs. While they get to enjoy their friends I get to sit in my room and listen to music, since my TV is broken. It ruins my birthday, all these people that aren't really that fond of me, acting nice to me, acting like they give a shit. They don't give a shit, I can tell. They walk around and eat my parents food and say hi every once in a while. Then I go to my room or I go on the computer and they walk in and look at me, then walk away, like I'm some kind of freak. I wouldn't mind it if at least someone else was miserable, but no one is. My little brother has his own friends to hang out with, my parents are busy. The night before my birthday, that night that used to mean something that was a precursor for my happiness...it all dissapears because my parents want to hangout and drink. Well, I'm ranting and raving. I sound like some gothic fuckhead that feels sorry for himself. I'm sorry but this is my website and I bought it so I could express myself. There should be a picture below, click on it to watch what I did during New Year's Eve.  That's about it for now, take it easy. If you're reading this I like you. You can be sure of that, even if you don't like me. |

Well I finished two different video segments, the beginning of a long line of boring little video thingies. I know they're kind of queer but I'm kind of queer so it sorta makes sense right.  -------------------- That's about it, I'm sorry about the lighting if you can't see me well. I really didn't have time to fix everything up. But there will be more, so don't worry. See ya. |

| Yea, so Christmas is almost here and I can't wait to get all my gifts and stuff. This year I was actually able to contribute since I had a job. I HAD a job. I quit, it's over, I'm done, I'm happy, it's Christmas. That's basically how it's going right now. I saw lots of stuff over the last couple weeks. I didn't write about all of it on here and I feel like updating you guys on my purchases. IT's not so you're jealous, just so I can impress you with my wealth of crap. Movies I saw:  Spirited Away Ahh, this is one of my favorite movies. It follows the story of Chichiro and her adventure through a strange world she encounters when her and her family stumbles into an old amusement park. Not only is the animation amazing but the characters and story are incredibly. It's really an emotional journey because you actually care about Chichiro. It's funny, it's sad and it's worth seeing. Yeah it's a cartoon but it's not just for kids.  Frida Frida is about the Mexican artist and her struggles through life after her legs are paralyzed. It's a pretty interesting film and artistically it's spectacular. There are scenes in the film that are composed like Frida's paintings and they are just incredible. The only real problem I have with the film is the clichéd dialogue. The cinematography and the style of the film outweigh it's negatives. CD's I bought:  Punch-Drunk Love I have mixed feelings about this CD. The movie was great, definitely on my top ten of the year but the CD doesn't even come close to the Magnolia soundtracks. The main problem I have with it is that it plays the same song over and over with different versions. You basically listen to the overture seven times. There are some worthwhile tracks though, "Tabla" and "Hands and Feet" are both incredibly dynamic arrangements and "Here we go" soft and almost Beatles-like. Still worth a purchase but don't expect it to sound like either of the Magnolia soundtracks. That's about all the stuff I bought this week, excluding those Christmas gifts I paid for. Yeah I'm feeling pretty psyched about Christmas, lots of stuff that I could get and I'm ready to be surprised. I think these little news updates are losing their flare, so I'm going to think of something to complain about. Hmmmm, I could complain about work but that's getting a little trite about now isn't it?  Yeah, I'm bringing out the $5 words here, you better be ready. But what to complain about. I can think of a couple things but not without making enemies of friends. Oh I know something I can tell you guys about, it isn't a complaint though it's more like a uhhh.... good thing? Well it depends on your definition of good. I got my PSAT's back today, which are practice SAT's. I got a 1170, which I'm told is pretty decent. It was really weird though, the people that get better grades than me and like to brag ended up doing really bad. It's like this is something I can shove in their face when they laugh when I say something stupid. The truth is that school is more about being a little drone than actually being intelligent and learning. I consider myself and intelligent person but I'm not acknowledged for that, people think that I'm dumb because I don't get straight A's. Haha, yeah I guess I did complain. I think I've already discussed this though, so I'm going to leave you here. I'm getting tired right now and I need to go not write stuff on my website. Catch ya later. |

| Yeah, here I am. It's almost christmas time, ahhh. My little brother is swearing in the other room, My dad put a sad x-mas light display, and my mom won't tell us what she wants. MMMM I love this Christmas spirit! I'm quitting my job on thursday, it's going to be great. I'm going in, getting my check, then telling the boss I quit. I'm expecting him to say something like "you know you have to finish the week" and I'm going to say "nope, sorry" and then he's gunna be like "YOU CAN'T DO THAT". Then we'll probably break into song and dance, like last time. I have been giving my firing some thought though. I have to make a scene, or make everything complete chaos. I'm thinking of stocking things in the wrong places tonight, just to completely screw up everyone. Just a going away present. If I'm lucky my manager that calls me chief, he'll come up to me and say it again. I'll have some fun words for him. Don't get me wrong, most of the people I work with are pretty nice people but I can't stand them. They don't talk to me and when they do it's with this condescending attitude, like how dare I ask for them help. And sure, it's not hard to stock products, but I don't know where everything is. If I do ask for something is, they sigh, then they go, "it's right over there!". I still thank them, I still give them my (fake)respect but they don't do the same for me. Maybe it's because they've worked there so long, one kid has worked there four years! FOUR YEARS! I'm sorry but that's just sad, stocking at a grocery store is an after school job. Not a job you come to at nine in the morning and leave at five in the afternoon. Even though I think it's pathetic and a bit sad they work there so long, I still act as though I like them because I'm a nice person. That's one thing I don't understand about people these days, where did all the nice people go. There are so many people complaining(haha) and whining and just being mean that all the nice people are ignored. Whenever I see an old lady, I smile at her. Not because I'm on a pedestal, but because maybe if I smile at her she'll be happy. People I know will go up to elderly woman and swear at them, for no reason. You think it's funny, but when some little prick comes up to you when you're 70 and asks to see your dick you won't be thinking the same thing. But that's enough for now, don't you want to hear about the crap I do? Not my stupid personal thoughts. Pffft, who comes to a personal webpage to read personal stuff, that's like an online diary, how cliched. But I don't have time right now, I have to go to the bathroom and my little brother is crying in the other room. Why is life this hectic? Why does it have to be? WHy can't we all just sit home, or go out with friends? Why do I have to know about trigonometry? *sigh* Why? |

| Well I'm sorry for my absence from my webpage, I haven't had much time lately. School, work, and friends have taken up a lot of time but I'm happy, which makes all that stuff ok. I've finally gotten back into reading too, I'm about halfway through the new book I bought called House of Leaves It's an incredible and frustrating book. For my site, I'm working on updating the reviews section so that it's easier for me to update it. The reviews will be really short from now on, they'll just contain a synopsis and a paragraph with my opinion. It's nice because I won't have to spend two hours writing the review and creating the graphics for the page. I'm not sure what to talk about, nothing that interesting has happened in the last couple days. Like I said, I've been hanging out with friends alot and my parents don't complain I'm anti-social anymore, which is nice. I still wish I had some extra time to just sit at home and watch TV though, but that's life I guess. Personally, I think the average teenagers life is way too hectic. Bu i have to go bitchy teacher is kicking me off the computer. BYE |

| I'm feeling like a different guy today, definetly a different guy but I can't go into why because my Mom might read this website, I'm not sure. I think she snoopes around on here and reads stuff and doesn't tell me, which is a little low. Jon's Weekend Friday Night -On friday night I worked from 5pm to 8pm at the grocery store, I think I've complained enough about my work so I'll spare you. After work my friends Sean and Emily picked me up to go to the movies. We skipped the movies. We went to Sean's house first and I met his Mom and Emily's brother came over and ate ice cream. After that we rode over to this pool place in Canandaigua. After only one game and all of us really doing horrible we decided to get something to eat. We went to Denny's.  Denny's Denny's is a great place for low cost, high quality good. Yep, it sure is. After Denny's we decided to go back to Sean's and I slept over. It was the best night of my life, we watched movies and went on his computer and just had a lot of fun. Saturday Afternoon - After Sean's Mom drove me home I got back on my computer and checked movie times. I've wanted to see Harry Potter for the longest while because I liked the first so much.  Harry Potter My parents and I picked up my little brother from his friends house and then drove to Regal Cinemas in Victor(a town). Of course they made this huge fuss about seating and selling tickets there and we had to wait in this long hallway for absolutely no reason. It was worth it though, the movie was similiar to the first in it's pacing and storytelling and I really liked it. My family did not and my little brother bitched about it because he's stupid. After the movies we crossed the street and went to the mall, where I purchased The Lord of the Rings and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.  Lord of the Rings  Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Great stuff here folks. Sunday -I worked, it sucked...that's all. I'm adding an employment journal to the bottom navigation menu soon, it will detail each day I have work and how that day sucked. It'd be nice if they actually paid me decent and if this kid that smells so bad would stop smelling and discover deodorant and toilet paper...but then life would be too easy, right? Well this is all for now I think it's a pretty damn long post so enjoy that. I'll write one later or update this one with more stuff. I'll see ya later. |
