Yeah I decided to take a small break from posting, what are you going to do about it?!?
So not much has been going on, mainly work and friend time. Saturday I went to a family party in Staten Island, it's nice to see everyone from time to time. Sunday I went to a insane cigar store and then to a tobacco shop to get some for my pipe. They had such a large collection of tobacco, I got two flavors Exotic Honey and Danish Viking, which is like a black raspberry flavor, it's amazing. A total of 4oz for 10.60$, which it great, it will last me quite sometime. I've been on IRC almost everyday now, it's a great past time, if you could call it that. You can join in, all the information is on my contact page. I plan on heading up to Bradfest in Bradford, CT, it should be fun. I'll be meeting up with some people from a forum I visit, oh boy what a time that will be. Not sure what else I have planned for this weekend, so we'll see what happens.
There is a quick little update, I'll have to work on my structure for the next entry.
[The Bash.org quote of the week] (8/24 - 8/30/2008)
Static as it seems
We break the surface tension with our wild kinetic dreams
Curves and lines of grand designs

Damn another entry, Im on a roll.
So I've been updating my site quite a bit with new entries, new pages, and better code. Just last night I added a works page containing a few projects I've done or have worked on. I plan to keep adding to the list as often as I can. This is my 3rd entry in 3 days since the re instatement of my site, which Im loving every minute of.
As for today, I have come up with a business card, more so an information card. You know just an easy way to give out my contact information to friends, family, and clients. Things seem to be going quite well for me, but still just about the usual things going on in my life. Im a little more active now and I've been starting to lose weight. Just a few weeks ago I was able to put on a pair of shorts that I haven't been able to wear for about 3 years. Well there is an idea, maybe I'll make a diet/food log page, I'll have to look into that.
So I've been good and things are great, that's about the gist of it. Maybe another entry tomorrow, be prepared for the Bash.org quote of the week to return on Sunday.
But never quite enough
Sometimes we are too tender
Sometimes we're too tough
If we get too much attention
It gets hard to overrule
So often fragile power turns
To scorn and ridicule
Sometimes our big splashes
Are just ripples in the pool
~Emotion Detector
So here we are, back again, hard coding, web designing, and so much more.
Today has been quite the day, first I found out my great aunt died at the age of 96. By that age it's bound to happen sooner or later, but I didn't let that bring my day down. I found out about a show called "The IT Crowd", which is a very funny british show. I believe I have watched all of the 2 seasons. After watching, it cheered me up, which then I went out to Lake Hopatcong to go boating with my Brother's family. Fun was had by all, tubing, skiing, wake boarding, great time. Then who do I get a message from? why none other than DSwain himself. Inviting me to run errands with him, a trip to Wal*Mart and CVS were in store for us. He just had to pick up some little things. He dropped me back off at home where I watched some more of "The IT Crowd" and happily smoked a pipe.
Another entry, a fun little one at that. Also, the Bash.org quote of the week will be making a triumphant return, soon.
You are a victim of a thing unknown
A mantle picture of a stolen soul
A fornication of your golden throne
~The Writ
Well here is a quick little update
I haven't had much interest in updating my site recently, 1 because I'm lazy and 2 because I couldn't log into SFTP. I also didn't like switching to a CMS, when I can just easily enter text into a text area and click submit, I get no sense of satisfaction out of posting. So I went back to hard coding my entries, which I like so much better.
As you can see I have gone back to my original design, which I love very much, and you may notice that I am located at jack.theswain.net. Don't worry I'm still being hosted by Dswain, he just switched to Bluehost, a much better host.
So hopefully I will start posting as much as I was and a much more in depth post will be coming soon.
When you see this world we live in, do you still believe in man?
If my songs become my freedom, and my freedom turns to gold
Then Ill ask the final question, if the answer could be sold
