| November 1, 2004 Sorry it has been so long, y'all. It's just with all the work I've had lately and the election tomorrow.... whew! I'm sitting on pins and needles here, folks! Wow, don't ask where I've developed this scary online slang... I guess it's from being in Texas this long. Butt I'll tell you what: being in Texas has certainly not changed my political leanings. I think you can all figure out where I stand. Anyway, I actually uploaded my blog today and will hopefully get some work done on the site after I've had a week or so to recover from the election. Take care, all! October 6, 2004 Time for more stuff on the anime page! Episode summaries, character bios, and more! And it's still in progress, so don't think I'm done with just the Trigun page complete. September 24, 2004 I hope you like the new layout of the homepage. If not, please send me an e-mail and I'll see about changing it or fixing any problems. It's closer to what I eventually want it to be, anyway. Another bit of news: I have begun a long project I have named Jake's Poetry Archive. You should definately go visit it. September 14, 2004 Ok, the Rice page is turning out nicely. I hope you all enjoy the pics of my beautiful school! VOTE: do you like the way the Buddy Icons page is now? Or would you prefer to see it changed? Just email me. September 10, 2004 Renovations to the Buddy Icons page! And more icons for you! Huzzah! September 9, 2004 Yay for online quizzes! I have now made a page dedicated to the online quizzes that I have made (which comes to a grand total of 3 at this point, but they're mostly on anime characters so you should take them). Go visit! September 7, 2004 To show my deep affinity for the character of Sanosuke Sagara, I have made a wallpaper for him. Go check it out under Downloads. It's a beautiful thing. I guess. August 21, 2004 I have made an official College Page! Whoohoo! Go Rice Owls! Yes, so come see the extensive obsession I have with my school by clicking the link on the homepage. August 19, 2004 Wow, I feel like the world's worst person. Sorry it has been three full months since I've been on here. However, I was having comp trouble all summer; for some reason, my comp wouldn't let me access this site. So it has been stuck. However, I now have a new computer for college (GO RICE! by the way -- AND MARTEL, the best college ever! WAFA!) which is geocities-friendly. So I'm back for good, boys and girls! I hope you hadn't completely given up on the site. May 19, 2004 Thus begins my summer vacation! Though we are due to graduate from high school this Saturday, I am exempt from all exams. Which means that I don't have to go to school the rest of this week! Woot! My family is coming tomorrow so I have a lot of house cleaning to do. Off I go. What a way to start my summer. May 11, 2004 AP exams are now over, which means my summer has virtually begun! Just 11 more days until high school graduation, whahoo! And you should be excited about that too since it means I'll have more time to work on the website. Yay! April 28, 2004 AP exams! Ah! They're coming to eat me. So what do I do? I sit down and write a story, of course. Check it out under writing. It's the one about Jake and Elinore and the horseman and whatever. April 19, 2004 Hey, everyone, I have a BLOG!!!!!! Go check it out (click on the link on the homepage)!!!! Other happy news: HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ANNA!!!!! March 30, 2004 Ah! I never knew a quarter in school could feel this long!!! Just a month and half more until graduation. Check out the OOT Walkthrough and the great poem by Robert Wallace I found in doing a poetry response. March 17, 2004 Yay, spring break! It was about time, too. I'm not sure how much more school I could have taken. Anyway, I'll probably work a bit on the Ocarina of Time walk-through this week, so keep checking up on the site. February 16, 2004 I hope everyone is having a nice holiday. We're off of school for the eighth day this winter, so I haven't had much to do but work on the website and my FFR skills. So check out my improved Buddy Icon page. January 1, 2004 Check out my new comics page. The link is on the left column of the homepage. January 31, 2004 I've done a crazy amount of work on the anime page today -- check it out, I have not only pictures, but scans of manga pages, summaries of the series, episode listings, etc. Go me! I'm productive. January 29, 2004 This is the fourth school day in a row that we've been out for snow. So I've gotten a lot done on the walk-throughs (especially Ocarina of Time). But I still have some European History homework left, which makes me wonder what I'm doing on the website. January 18, 2004 I have started work on a Majora's Mask Walk-Through and have been working on my Zelda stuff a lot lately, so all you gamers flock! January 17, 2004 I am slightly wierded out by the site statistics for this page and especially my SNES walkthrough. My site (as far as I know) is not listed under Yahoo or Google search engines, yet Dogpile, AskJeevesUK, some random German search site, websearch, and a few other random places. I looked on the AskJeevesUK "how do I get my site in the directory" thing and it said I had to have a British audience, etc, etc. I love Brits, but I am not catering only to a British audience. I am really not sure where all you people are coming from, but tell your friends and send more! Suddenly I'm not the only person raising the visitor count on my site (yes, I am -- or was -- a loser, in that respect, for a while . . . and probably several other respects as well). Just to add, I've added some stuff to my Zelda page other than just Walk-Throughs, so go to the bottom of the Walk-Through page to check it out. December 26, 2003 Merry Christmas, everyone (a bit late, I know). Be sure to go to Downloads to see my Lord of the Rings wallpapers! I hope you have all gotten a chace to see The Return of the King by now; if you definately need to! I swear it's medicinal! December 12, 2003 The Earl-Decision Doomsday is here. Though the technical day is the fifteenth, I can check online today. Click here to see my ramblings on college! December 8, 2003 Well, here's a week before exams and a week before I hear back from Rice. As you might imagine, I'm a bit of a nervous wreck right now. But, you know, I'll survive. And if the news on either of the topics is bad, I'll just wait two days then go see Return of the King to my heart's content. Have a good week, everyone! Novermber 1, 2003 I went trick-or-treating for UNICEF last night, which was quite fun. People feel sorry for you since you aren't getting anything edible, so they give you candy to make up for it. It's very nice. Anyway, I have been working on my Ocarina of Time walk-through today. So, all ye Zelda fans, have at it! October 26, 2003 Yes. I'm still alive. Barely. College is eating me up and I haven't even finished the first semester of my senior year of high school yet. I'm just really bogged down by applications (see the college link below for leverly details). So I am going to do something on the site. Eventually. Don't lose faith! October 4, 2003 Hey, guys, check out my quotes page. You can link from the main page. September 16, 2003 Hey, everyone. I created a cool buddy icon page of all your (or my) favorite anime people; check it out with the button on the left of the main page. September 8, 2003 While doing a poetry response today, I ran across this great poem by Anne Bradstreet. Check it out under writing. September 6, 2003 Hey, everyone. I'm now entering the 5th week of my SENIOR YEAR (yay!). And with the 5 APs I'm taking (I don't really recommend it, it's not much more than a euphemism for suicide), I anticipate that I really won't spend much time on the website this year. Lo siento. But I'll try to get on here at least once a month or so to add something cool. Have fun this school year! If you're interested, go to Dec. 12 post for my college update! August 7, 2003 Guess what!!!! I finally finished my SNES Walk-Through! Go, Jake! Whohoo! I am capable of finishing something (so long as it's not schoolwork, lol). I ALSO made a Rurouni Kenshin page, so check that out under Anime. Well, here's to the last week of freedom before school starts back. So depressing. But, on a lighter note, the counter on this page rolled over to 4 digits, which means that I dind't put all this work in for nothing. I just keep trying to forget that nearly half those visits were from me, testing this and that. I'm so pathetic. July 31, 2003 I'm back from my college tour and am working on my Walk-Through. Check out Terry Goodkind's new book, Naked Empire, and the soundtrack to Pirates of the Caribbean -- they are both great! July 9, 2003 Lately I have spent a lot of time hunched over in front of the TV with a game controller in my hands. Yes, it's true, I'm working hard on finishing my Zelad walk-through. Not only am I finishing up A Link to the Past, but also starting Ocarina of Time and eventually Majora's Mask. Keep checking up on the site. July 2, 2003 GUESS WHAT!!! I finally found a wonderful new, FREE message board service! Overall, I'm even happier with it than I was with the old one. The only downside is the popups, but you can survive, I'm sure. Just click on the "Message Board" link to access it. I'm not sure if you need to register or what, but you can figure it out. If you want to visit the old board, there's a link on the bottom left part of the home page, but you can't post anything on it anymore. It broke :( July 1, 2003 Happy summer, everyone! I'm just now finishing a Greek & Roman Mythology course offered by a local college, which was very interesting. Also, I read HPV the 21-23, and I was surprised how different it was from the others (but just as good, I'd say). Well, thought I'd check in, seeing as I haven't really in the past month and a half. May 17, 2003 I have more fanart for you! I hope you enjoy it! I went to see Matrix Reloaded last night; I didn't find it anywhere near as good as the first one. This won't stop me from going to see the third, of course, but I will be expecting the movie to redeem its predecessor. May 11, 2003 Sorry I haven't been on in nearly three months; school (and AP exams and SAT IIs) has been killing me. Well, check out my new bit of fanart. February 14, 2003 I have nothing of note to say here, just happy Valentine's Day and I hope you don't get the sickness I just got over. I plan on doing something exciting on the site soon, just let me do my make-up work from school first. January 23, 2003 For those of you who have not heard, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is due to come out in June of this year and will have 781 pages! Whohoo! January 5, 2003 You need to check out my Aragorn fanart! I'm very proud of myself, lol. Have fun going back to school. December 25, 2002 Merry Christmas, all! I got some awesome stuff (Complete works of Poe, lots of candy, three N. Hawthrne novels, a bunch of blank tapes for my anime, and Leaves of Grass), and didn't get a few things I wanted (a PS2 and full-length The Fellowship of the Ring DVD). But that's ok. With all the gift cards I got, I figure I can just get them with the money I would have been spending at Barnes & Noble and Best Buy. Speaking of LOTR, I thought the second installment was excellent. Though some serious plot deviations were present, I thought the movie's humor and character development was worth it all. I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday! Have fun playing with new toys! December 7, 2002 I am in the middle of a 5-day weekend, thanks to a convenient snowstorm that just blew through. Having actually finished my homework *gasp* I guessed I should mess with the site. Just a little housecleaning, nothing big. Have a nice exam week. November 19, 2002 Well, today was a kinda bad day, but it was my birthday. So I guess that makes up for it. Yay, I'm 17 now. Go see Harry Potter, it's wonderful! I want to go again this weekend, so if any of you who know me personally want to get together to revisit the theater, let me know! I can just feel my money being sucked away . . . . November 15, 2002 Well, I just got back from Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. I was over-all pleased, and found it to be much better than Philospher's Stone. It's also much darker, which might deter the younger ones (thus ensuring a much less hyper-active audience). Happy birthday to me (in 4 days, anyway)! November 1, 2002 I changed that thingy, Joe. You know what I'm talking about. 14 days til HPII, everyone! October 18, 2002 Hi, I'm really alive, guys. Um... this is the first time I've been on the internet in about a month. Anyway, check out the cool new Star Wars short story under Writing! Obi-Wan kicks butt! Also, go see my Bebop page under Anime! September 19, 2002 School is eating away my life. I guess that's my justification for basically ignoring the site for the past 16 days. Anyway, I'm going to work on making all this a little easier to download, since I know it takes up a lot of memory and such. Also, I haven't really been looking for a chatroom or message board, but let me know if you are aware of a good one for me to use. Preferably FREE. Oh, and I'm also thinking about putting my own little manga on here. How does that sound? August 3, 2002 Hope everyone had a nice Labor Day off school. Still no luck with the message board. Let me know if you are aware of a good server. Also, you can forget all those red "here" 's because now you can just click "downloads" on the main page. August 26, 2002 Two announcements: A Vash wallpaper is up (get to it by clicking the red "here" below) and my message board is down. For some reason the server is having issues, so I'm not sure if it's permanent or not. In any case, you are free to read old entries above, but you cannot make any new ones. Please be patient until I can find a new FREE message board service. August 25, 2002 What do you guys think of the new layout for this page? Let me know! August 24, 2002 I have created another wallpaper, this time of Cowboy Bebop. Check it out on my downloads page. August 12, 2002 Today was the first day of school; poor me. Sorry I haven't updated in so long. I have been out of town nearly every week since my mission trip this summer. I have a heavy workload with many challenging classes this year, so I'm not sure how much work will be accomplished on the site. Please bear with me. Have fun going back to school. Yes, that was sarcasm. July 6, 2002 I'm back from my mission trip. It was wonderful, by the way. Also, check out MIB II. It's pretty funny (of course). Well, my biggest site news today is that, under Writing, I have finally put up a novel-want-to-be called Wessley. Enjoy its three pages. I'll put up more of it when I get around to writing it. Also, go to downloads to see my Zelda Wallpaper I created. June 20, 2002 I figured I should add something before I go on my big mission trip. If you go to downloads, you can download a Harry Potter bookmark I made myslelf. Enjoy! June 9, 2002 My fanart page is still being updated; don't give up on my artistic skills yet! June 8, 2002 Well, my DBZ page has, at last, been put up. I know it's not much, but it's something. I'll see about adding more to it in the future. Also, I finally have some original artwork up. You guys were beginning to think I had no independent ideas, eh? Well, go check it out, as well as one added to my fanart. That's all for now. Over and out. June 1, 2002 Finally out of school, whoohooo! Well, I have given the site a make-over; hope everyone likes black! Thanks to everyone who has supported my site in the past 4 months. Have a great summer! May 11, 2002 Don't miss my new Writing section, not to mention a new fanart of my own up. Zelda fans unite! ^_^ April 17, 2002 Well, now I have a Links page as well, so be sure to check that out. Some of you have asked the titles of the books on the right. Well, here they are: Canterbury Tales, Emerson, Works of Longfellow, Kafka, Beowulf, Works of Shakespeare, Victor Hugo's Les Miserables, The Tempest, T.S. Eliot, Camus, Webster's, Othello, Steinbeck, and Crime and Punishment. So there you have it! March 29, 2002 HEY! I HAVE A MESSAGE BOARD! Please visit it!!! But be sure to read my post at the bottom first. Thanks to all the signers of the guest book; it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside! Or not. But anyway, your support is appreciated. Signing out. March 25, 2002 Books are getting a nice kick-off. Douglas Adams, K. A. Applegate, Terry Brooks, Orson Scott Card, Terry Goodkind, and J. K. Rowling are up and running. I also have a new guestbook -- please feel free to sign! And, as always, I await your submissions of whatever. Hey Ryan, want to send some short stories in??? Please??? March 14, 2002 Tenshi, I did it (took long enough)! Every-one go admire her work, now that I finally put it up. I'm also working on more of the Walk-Through now. Don't forget to send me your stuff! March 7, 2002 Werll, hello, everyone. The site had been put on hold for a while as the end of the quarter was sorted out. All you students understand the craziness that occurs each time we get near report card time. Anyway, I've started putting up Kazuki's and Tenshi's (don't worry; I had to modify the pic a bit, but I'll get it up soon, Tenshi!) artwork. Please send in some of your own, all you artists! I would love to boast a wide variety of artwork and artists. February 10, 2002 Update: Home, Anime, most of Artwork, and a tiny bit of the Walk-Through are up and running. And PLEASE contact me with submissions of any kind!!! February 5, 2002 Well, here it is: Jake's first webpage. You'll never believe how much sweat and blood went into this thing, so I'm a bit over-proud of it. Anyway, this site is dedicated mostly to anime, my art, and my writing. I am a sophomore in high school in North Carolina who loves music, literature, and art. Please feel free to browse what little of the site is now existent. I'll be working on adding more. Also, please contact me if you have any suggestions of problems with the site; I am more than willing to hear all complaints and praises. Well, enjoy! |
