HTML - How To Masterbate Licentiously... what?

I got sick and tired of not knowing how to actually make a webpage. So yesterday I went to my local second-hand store and picked up some HTML tutorial from '95. I believe it was titled "A Guide to HTML 2". Wow... Anyways, it served its purpose. I want you all to check out the link and look at my beta (all made today and late late late last night) and let me know what you think. That's why I have this little comments thingy setup, USE IT!

Avoid Hangovers by Staying Drunk

So, last night I officially passed the 2 decade mile-marker on my eternal highway of shame... i mean, life. My father and his girlfriend helped me celebrate by throwing a little party. There were 10 people cramed into an area the size of volkswagen and that was before furniture. We ate, drank, and were marry. And then we drank some more... and maybe a bit more... and then a lot more... and then I decided I had to slow down, so I had a cigar... and then I drank some more... Ok, so last night was a little ridiculous. My dad's girlfriend decided to make me finish all the boozahol we had. So, I'm feeling a bit lethargic right now and I'm considering fixing myself a bloody marry... hmmm, that's alright.

Alright, so I'm joking at least a bit, the question is can you figure out the fact from the fiction? Didn't think so. I got a few more days in this place before I head back to civilization for at least a number of hours. I'm all bent up waiting to hear from a couple friends about their plans trying to figure out where I'll be and what I'll be doing for the next couple of weeks. But alas, no phone calls. We'll see what happens. Worse comes to worse I'll travel the world by myself, that would be awesome. No, I'm not being sarcastic. I would love to go to New Zealand by myself and just backpack across the country. Then head on over to Australia for a week or so. But I really want to go to Europe as well. Hmmm... decisions, decisions... You know what? I'll do it all! God I love having a year to myself...

Back in Business

I got into Telluride Monday at around 5pm. I had to drive up from Santa Fe where I was visiting a friend for the weekend. To continue tracking backwards a bit further I left for Santa Fe on Saturday morning at 11am on less than 30min of sleep. I then proceeded to drive 20hrs straight through the night to get into Santa Fe at a bright and early 7am. Basically, I got into Telluride at 5pm, stayed up until 12am and slept for a good, long, fulfilling 13 hours the next day. Haven't felt so good since the last time I slept more than 12 hours straight.. ok, so that was last week, sue me.

Anyways, Telluride is boring as ever. I'm currently getting paid to work on my website and chat online. Can't complain other than the fact that if I could have found a razor blade in the desk drawer yesterday I would have slit my wrists. And not in the "cry for help", horizontal pussy slashes across the artery way; I'm talking about full on Royal Tenenbaums style.

In an effort to completely ignore any chronology in my writing style, let me share with... myself... god forbid people actually read this, my weekend at the Santa Fe Opera. It was actually a very interesting place. I had the opportunity to see the Aprentice Scenes this last Sunday and with the exception of burning out my clutch because of the steep hill getting to the parking lot coupled with bumper to bumper traffic, the evening was great fun. The selection of excerpts ranged from Romeo and Juliet to Albert Hearing, and I am pleased to report the performances were fantastic. The voices emitting from these 23-35 year-olds were nothing short of incredible. And the costumes! Awesome.

To get back to the present, I believe I'll be in Telluride for a few weeks. I plan on driving back to Chicago early to mid September. From there I have possible trips to Europe as well as California and Toronto lined up. I will probably bumb around Europe for a few weeks in September until I have to be back in Telluride for my Father's wedding. They're working on it non-stop you know, they have to make it right because you only get married once. Of course, both him and Karla (his fiance) are divorced at least once each and I wonder if they thought the same thing the first time around. After their wedding I have a vague plan to go out to California to visit Taps, scout out some realestate as well as look into some loan options. From there I'll probably come back to Telluride for a few days, the Deerfield for a few more. Then it will be off to Toronto for a couple of weeks to visit my friend Carsey and make sure he's working on his disertation. That's right, I'll be cracking the whip until he finishes. Finally I'll be the one forcing him instead of the reverse. From there... WHO KNOWS?! I didn't know I'd be in Telluride right now, I don't know if any of these ideas will play out. But you know what? My plan is to get in my car, or on a plane and go where ever the wind takes me. Rest assured I'll keep... myself... up to date.

Where are we at?

So apprently I need to update this thing. Here's my update:
I've beenworking on my website all day. That and driving look to drop off his POS Rex. Just kidding Luke, you got a great deal... *cough* bs *cough*. Anyways, hopefully the dealer will realize that engine bogging at 5000rpms isn't supposed to happen. But who knows, they do sell Ford.

Went paintballing 2 days ago with the old crew: Wes, Mikie and Myself. We also had a new-comer and old friend Adam Morris join for the day's festivities. If there was anything more intense than paintball that day, it was the ride back and back in Morris' Porsche Turbo AWD. God damn thing makes my WRX look like a powerwheels. Let's just say I was clapping like a retarded kid without his meds. I'm sorry, that wasn't very P.C. Sue me.

In other news I may be leaving this weekend and head out for Colorado again. I'll probably stop over in New Mexico to visit a friend and then head up to Telluride the following Monday. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. But, good news. I've been working on my site, trying to figure out a more efficient photo gallery as well as finally linking it to an official domain name. The new site will be located at www.wandering-jew.org. I'll also work on a guest book (by popular demand) as soon as I can. Oh yeah, the care is FUCKING SWEET!
