Hokay so, here’s Poison chilling. Damn, that is a sweet Poison you might say. Wraung!

I had just found an old hard drive case, which within was a long dead ancient laptop drive. It had died some time ago, and despite my best A+ hardware repair guide and WoW magic efforts, I could not bring this thing back to life. I had given up on it and put it on the shelf to rot for about a year or so.  That doesn’t sound so bad does it?

Well, the thing about this drive was that it WAS my life. I backed up EVERYTHING on this drive, from college papers, artwork and pictures to my blog and legacy www.poisonfire.com websites. (hopefully with WellNow’s help I can post up the old sites for your gawking) I mean, it pretty much killed me inside when I dropped this thing at my ex’s old apartment.

Heneway, I took the drive out and replaced it with a new one. Thinking nothing of it, I thought I would try one of our adapters here at work to see if the disk would even spin up. Turns out…it did! I was able to recover everything from the drive!! I was so excited I immediately made a backup onto my 320GB drive and made plans to FTP it to our unlimited HostMonster account.

I have a few comics to post up (FINALLY!!) So stay tuned as I hone my Adobe Illustrator skills…

Hey wellnow…you have CS9 right…?

Friday was really hard as it was the 4th aniversary of the passing of a close friend and lover.

I had been thinking a lot about what I should do in her memory. I thought that since most of us today have blogs, myspace pages, flickr and facebook pages, she should too. I tried to make an online presence for friends and family to come and share a thoughts, pictures and video. I’m starting with a static[ish] page but I have the funds to purchase a flash tempalte that I really think she would have loved. In making this site, I had one person in mind beside Aleisha. Her mom loved the site, and I’m sure she will love it even more when the flash site is up.

In four years I feel like I haven’t learned enough from this tradgedy. In retrospect of everything that I have done, seen and accomplished, nothing really means more than spending time with and loving your family and friends. Money, things and chemicals will make you feel better for a short while, but in the end it’s who you spend your time with in relation to “worldly” things that you will remember on your death day.

Take today and tell your mom, dad, best friend, whoever, that you love them and are glad to have them in your life. As we all know, and I have found out first hand: tomorrow is not promised.

Welcome to yet another attempt at a blog.

As always I will probably not update, or get tired of worrying about my site. But! At least this time I have my OWN website, my OWN blog and I can do whatever I want with it.

Awesome.

Why not just use myspace’s blog? Because I hate myspace. I like what it does for people [i.e social networking and finding old friends], but like many others I hate what it has become. A place for fat old nerdmen to workout their hand muscles and for young female princesses to give them the material to do this “workout”. The males posting mostly naked pictures of themselves to attract females, which I suppose isn’t far from real life. Actually it would take me all night to describe every type of person and activity I despise myspace for. This is because they correlate to the people and actions I despise in real life. So if you know me in person, you understand why I love and hate myspace.com.
