Well, nothing new to say today, except some exciting news: I have no idea why, but this site is getting hits from all over the world, sort of. If you go to the bottom of the page and click on the counter, (which was recently reset and no longer includes when I go to it), and then click on "Last Guests," you'll see that there have been visits from some unfamiliar hosts and IP addresses. Usually, they're just adelphia and gloucester hosts (I wonder why?), but I looked up
the locations of some of the IP addresses, and I'm excited to announce that I've had several hits from Amsterdam; Mechelen, Flanders; and some from Manassas, Virginia. Here's the most exciting part (hold onto your pee): one from ATLANTA, GEORGIA!!!! Who would believe it?
I guess this isn't as exciting for everyone else as it is for me. Probably those were just from search-bots, caching my page. I'd seriously bet the Manassas hits were, with "cache" in their host name. Anyway, if more people are interested in this site, it might mean I'll have to contribute actual material more often. So that's a good thing for you to get excited about too.

Well I've been really busy packing stuff for moving. But check out the future, in very Terminator-like manifestations, today. That's it. You can make up your own conspiracy theory.

Christmas has come and gone, and almost chanukah, and i guess kwanzaa is just starting. And what else... there are some attled cattle in seattle. Saddam got caught too, and he doesn't seem to have any cavities.
I hope everyone has had, and is having an enjoyable "season" for lack of a more politically correct term. I'm just wondering, at what point does it become acceptable to let your parents know that you want to return your At A Glance Planner Folio? Obviously, you're supposed to pretend that you're delighted when you first open the gift. The next day is probably taboo, too. But maybe it's a third-day rule? The giver probably
has lost any emotional connection with the gift at that point, so it can be safely done.
You know what sucks? Being stuck at home over the two-week break and not even being able to do stuff, just stay and help get ready to move. That reminds me, I'm moving the day after new Year's. So I'll be wicked discombobulated and probably won't be able to post anything for a while.
One cool thing about this x-mas (Does that stand for cross-mas like in LAX or does the x mean a cross as in jesus dying, even though he was supposedly born on the 25th?) was that I got one of them new-fangled phones. That takes pictures. Expect to see some badly taken, low resolution pictures up here in the (hardly) near future.
I'm tired from a long day of entertaining and being enthusiastic around (not to mention driving perfectly with) my grandparents. Seems like a lot of work to justify getting a present from them. So au revoir.

Check this out.
What the fork, it did it again and ruined the bottom of my page. I think my days on this site are numbered. I'd ask for suggestions in the guestbook but the friggin guestbook links keep getting chewed up for some reason. Well i'm pissed and tired. And I'll fix it again.

Well I'm just too lazy to start my homework yet. So I went to update this and found that for some reason 250free is breaking up the code at the bottom. It's completely different stuff down there (all the attributes were removed from the code, if that means anything to you) and I think it's because of the ads they put there.
If anyone could recommend a better place for me to host this site for free, and maybe without ads, that would be awesome. Maybe comcast lets me do something. It would be harder to type in my url though.
I'll fix the stuff down there. bye.

Hey, whats up folks. For those of you not from around here (or as Mainers would say, "from away"), let me tell you. It has snowed a lot. I don't know if I've made myself clear: Imagine God sitting up there, inviting all his friends over and having a dandruff party. Well, that's what I thought of at least. So we got hit with almost three feet here in Beverly.
Of course, I wasn't here when it happened. I was (surprise!!!!) on a debate trip in Princeton. It snowed maybe eight inches there. That's a lot for New Jersey in the beginning of december. So naturally, everything kind of closed down, especially the record store whose reputation was the reason I went on this trip. By the way, I went 2 and 3, which sucks. On the way home, we had to stop in Connecticut because it was "a blizzard" at home.
But it was cool because we went to Bertuccis and then went cosmic big-ball bowling. I know everyone thinks bowling shoes are cool, but stealing them? I wouldn't stoop that low . And we stayed in a hotel again. Also, there was no school on Monday, so when I got home I went to the County Club and skied on the 18th/17th hole.
This morning I was wicked sore (hadn't skied in a while, not to mention doing a 3). The worst part is that all the other schools had snow days. But MERSH didnt. Dammit.
What else happened today.... Oh yeah. Sorry folks, I got some hairs cut. Most of them, actually. But it wasn't too much, so i'll look sort of the same.
Also, I got a blood test for pertussis is I believe what it's called. I pulled up my sleeve and the guy took a needle and.... I know several people who would faint if i got more graphic. So I'll stop.
At princeton during the free time that makes those college debates awesome I watched Candyman which was freaky. I guess I'd recommend it if you want a good scary movie.
But somehow this has reminded me of the Patriots. How aBOUT that! We can beat anyone when it snows.
Almost done for today. But first, my two-cents on Nomar/A-Rod. I'd like to have Arod as much as anyone else. But I think you have to keep nomar when he shows commitment like buying a house in Boston and tells you he wants to stay. So ditch A-Rod, try to trade manny for someone else maybe, but I think it's more important to be loyal to nomar than to get a high-money A-Rod to mix things up in the clubhouse.
I was thinking. I don't think I could ever marry anyone. I'd run out of jokes.

Well this week has blown. blows. is blowing. blowed. blew. has blowed. Dammit I can't even figure that out.
Anyway, it has. Except that my parents closed on the new house, and i get to move in january. And I get my license next friday. But I have very little time. I've been sinking in a pool of quicksand of homework I didn't see coming, and my teachers are dumping quick-set cement on me. I have a debate at Princeton this weekend, and we leave on the bus at 5:30 friday morning, get back 10:00 sunday night. Suckage.
But you don't read this to hear me complain. You read it because ... uhhh.... you pity me?
Well that's about all the time we have for today folks. I'm looking for a new place to host this because well no one wants to hear about how my DOCTYPE declarations get subsumed. But that's why the style changing link doesnt work. hasta luego.
