Well it has been a while since I actually uploaded any pictures or art.... but I finally did. I went through and uploaded a bunch of pictures from one of my busiest picture days while I was in Europe. I just went picture crazy the day we went up Jungfrau. It should make sense why I did once you take a look at the pictures. I also uploaded one of my artworks from art class. My hard drive is full of stuff to put up on the site, so I thought I might just go a little crazy and upload pictures AND art. crazy.

I also fixed a few broken link issues that arose from that whole bot protection process I did on the site. Most things should work, but I have noticed some non-critical actions that don't work properly. Anyway, the bots are gone and the site is running fairly well, so I can't complain.

Hey. I have been trying to thwart off these comment bot attacks by banning IPs and disabling scripts... so if the gallery doesn't work for you... don't worry about it.. I will get some kinda update in there to allow me to keep it up eventually. I'm not sure what the hell the point is of attacking my site... but I assume it has to do with google ratings or something. so thanks GOOGLE... okay I don't blame them, but wtf? Anyway we will see what happens.

As for everything else... Things are pretty busy. Working lots. I'm all graduated now as all of you I'm sure know... and working in my field. So things are good. Just not a lot of time spent making art. About all the art I have done recently has been icons for an application at work.

Anyway, hopefully I didn't ban to many IPs and now I'm blocking friends... but if I did block you, then you can't read this so there is no point continuing to talk about it here. I'm out.

Oh man its been a long week. I sometimes hate reading break. If only because the week before reading break becomes the busiest week of the entire year. Which defeats the whole purpose of having the reading break in the first place...reducing stress! Oh well, I can handle it.

Anyways, It's over. But I'm still stressed because of everything else going on. I need to get a JOB for when I graduate. Not that I've gotten to the point where I am extremely worried, but just the whole job search situation stresses me out. Its definitely not the most comfortable activity for me. But, I know I'll pull through. I'm smart, and reliable, I'm loyal...people want me!

Well thanks for hanging around during my self pep-talk there. Anyway, I threw a work of art up on the site. I hope you like it... You probably wont see much more traditional art anytime soon since I wont be taking art classes anymore. I will probably go back to digital doodles or art for a while.

I'm out.

For the sake of actually making an update, I'm going to keep this short. I basically want to just mention that I added some art and photos to the site. Besides, if people that come to this site are anything like me, they don't read the blog anyway.

I added some pictures from my Euro trip quite a while ago from our first day in Interlaken. Well today I added the day after that. There are a lot of pictures there. Next up is our trip to the "Top of Europe" (Jungfraujoch). Hopefully it won't be that long from now.

And as you can probably see, I uploaded one of my drawings from art class. Hope you like it!

I'm out. (to play Wii)

Well, as most of you know, I am now home. I know I didn't make a post right away but what can you do... I was tired, and all i wanted to do was relax and spend time with Mel. Can you blame me? It hasn't passed yet, but I'm still making a post, so you cant complain too much. I'm still a pit jet lagged, but last night was my best night of sleep since I got back. I took this Melatonin stuff that is supposed to help you get over jet lag faster... and I have to say, it seems to work like a dream. Pun intended.

So I have lots of pictures. Too many pictures really. over 1200 pictures to be exact. So I have to go through them all and kinda pick out the good ones to upload. I have the webspace to hold all of them (about 2 gigs) but that would just take days straight to upload and also label and sort. So, I'm just going to upload the ones people actually will probably enjoy the most. Plus who wants to sit and look at 1200 pictures. It would be like one of those vacation slides from hell that your Aunt Sharon makes your family sit through.

Even though I am not uploading everything, it is still going to take a while to go through them all. Plus I am resizing all the ones I upload to manageable sizes. So over the next little while I will upload sets of them. So you can keep checking back to find new pictures.

It's good to be home. The trip was amazing, but it was time to get back. All the travelling and moving around starts to get to you after a bit. Plus I was running out of money heheh. It will actually be good to get back to work, if only for the check i get at the end of the month. Plus I am looking for a place to move into with Mel right now, so wish me luck on that search.

OH, and I ALMOST forgot... today is Chris' birthday. Happy Birthday Chris!

Jeeze, you would think I never left Germany. I'm in Berlin right now. Pretty awesome city. Seems that Germany has some of the nicest cities over here. We are only here for 2 nights though, so we had to try and see a lot in the one full day that we have here. As you can see, I am using my time wisely... sitting in an Internet cafe updating my site. Heheh, well its been a long day, and you can only walk around looking at stuff for so long until you have to take a break and sit. So here I am.

The hostel we are staying in is pretty cool too... it sits on a lake way out in the burbs of Berlin. You wouldn't even know you were in Berlin. Very quiet and very relaxing. And the Facilities are really nice too. One of the comfier beds I've had on the trip so far. A huge leap from the last place. Yea, we were in Innsbruck, Austria for the last couple nights. Our plans to go to Czech bombed, so we stayed in Vienna longer and stopped in Innsbruck. Vienna was awesome, but Innsbruck was just plain weird. The Hostel there was more like a cement bomb shelter from the cold war than a hostel. All in all tho, Austria was pretty cool. We ended up being there for about a week starting in Salzburg.

So there is about a week left in the trip. We are off the Heidelberg tomorrow. Should be pretty nice. Then we are taking a cruise up the Rhine and stopping in cologne for the night. Then its Amsterdam. Then a night in Brussels on our way to London, then flying home on the 5th of June. So lots to do in a week actually. But its all good, and then it's home. I'm pretty much ready for home now. I just want to do nothing for a week when i get back. Sit on my computer, spend time with Mel, watch English TV, and sleep.

I suck at updating from here. I blame expensive Internet. I'm in Munich now, and it's probably the cheapest internet yet. Only 2.20€ an hour. We were just in interlaken (Switzerland) and Internet was about 12 dollars an hour. insane.

So the whole picture uploading thing is a bust. Even if i did have the equipment. it would take a little more time to upload them then i can afford to pay. I'm a starving student remember. So I was being a bit optimistic. Or just trying to get you guys to check back to the site anticipating exciting updates. shameless, sorry.

So like I said. we are in Munich. Pretty nice city actually. There have been some cities over the course of our trip that i haven't found particularly pleasant. Like Paris for instance. I mean i am glad i went.. cuzz its Paris, but it definitely hasn't been my favourite. I think my favourite so far has actually been interlaken. Surrounded by the Swiss alps. Amazing views, quiet relaxing town. Just plain awesome. Unfortunately, the most expensive place. So we couldn't really stay there long.

So main thing is I'm safe. And I have been taking tons of pictures. The trip is basically half way done, and I have taken over 600 pictures. So when i get back i will be posting some of the best ones. And YES i will actually upload them that time. Anyway, time is running out so I'll have to leave you at that. Thanks for anyone that has actually been checking here to see any updates. Cuzz i know most have not heheh. But i don't blame them, its been 2 weeks since an update.

Hello all. This is my first update from overseas. Unfortunately i haven't had any means of uploading my images yet, but I will hopefully solve that soon. I'm currently in london... sitting in an internet cafe just off of oxford street. It's pretty damn awesome. Unfortunately it's like 2pound for an hour. but, what can you do.

We've been doing all sorts of things in london. Doing all the touristy things, along with some less touristy things. We went down to Waterloo station yesterday morn and got our tickets to paris, then we went down to the parliment buildings. Saw the london eye and big ben and the like, then we walked around some more saw lots of stuff and stopped in at the National Gallery... And then Marie and I just kinda wondered the town while chris and erik went down to St. Pauls. Then last night we caught a show called "the woman in black" in an old tiny theater house. It was pretty awsome. Then today we hit the Empirial War Museum which was awesome...and like almost all museums here, it was free! We also hit the tower of london and now i'm here.

So far I would say I'm having an awesome time, and I think everyone else is too. I buggered up my neck a bit but other then that there have been very few bumps. I'm looking forward to Paris which we will be taking the train to first thing tomorrow. Hopfully I will make another update then and maybe even have some pictures! till then, cheers!

Holy crap i'm leaving for Europe in 2 days... mind blowing. I'm sure you are all excited for me and want me to have an amazing time and of course do not wish you were going instead. So what else could you need in life? To see how much fun i'm having AS I'm travelling. Great Idea.

So I know I haven't been updating recently, and in all honesty I have been very busy with classes and exams. But, but school is over and Europe is here. Sooo, and I want to make this clear:

I WILL BE POSTING PICTURES AND JOURNALS OF MY TRAVELS FROM EUROPE.

The main reason I upgraded this site was to allow me to do this. Of course, if this site completely fails me, I'll just get a livejournal account, and I will make a post about it on this site linking to that one. But, I'm sure it won't come to that.This will replace mass emailing on my part. And you guys can even shout and leave comments on stuff im posting so that makes it even better.

Wow, well aren't I a lazy ass. It's been like two weeks since st. patty's day so I guess I better make a new post. Oh, hey look at that, that's what I'm doing. In my defence though, there has been a lot of school work I should have been working on. Too bad I haven't been doing that either.

So what's new? that's neat, same here. There is one week left of school and I think everyone is probably swamped with work. Everyone in school these days anyway... oh to be free of schoolwork, I can't wait. Speaking of can't waiting, some of you might have noticed that I added a countdown to europe in the menu. It automatically updates with the number of days 'till we leave. And holy crap only 4 weeks away.

Also, I have a final project due before the end of term so look for that soon. I have no idea what to do it on thought, so if anyone has any suggestions feel free to share.
