new topics

16 December, 2003 (03:09) | Site Update

I have added 3 new Topics for new posts.

  • Life Goals – These will be things that i would like to accomplish in my life, just little things that pop into my head from time to time.
  • Thoughts & Ideas – Just the random stuff i think about, I will post them and you let me know what you think about them.
  • Top 10 lists – These won’t necessarily always be in 10s, but i will try. I have a few ideas for these already, look for them every once in a while too. Sometimes they will be serious, sometimes funny, always original, sometimes useful, and sometimes not.

I would also like to see contributions from you guys. Thanks!

insomniatic narcolepsy or narcoleptic insomnia

15 December, 2003 (18:09) | Personal Update

I just took a sleep test online, here are the results.

Your Sleep Test Results
You show symptoms of insomnia, which is defined 
as a persistent inability to fall asleep or stay asleep.

You show symptoms of narcolepsy, a life-long 
disorder characterized by uncontrollable sleep 
attacks during normal waking hours.

What the crap. I am just a freak of nature and a marvel of modern science.[shrug]

I am going to try and write some more over break. I haven’t written anything in a while. And since my guitar is broke, all the more reason, i need some sort of outlet for my creative juices. I have some old stuff i never finished, and would like to get some new stuff out there. be sure to check the download section every once in a while. More than likely though, i will be starving for web content (and attention) and will post some sort of announcement. 🙂

So i am working pretty much every weekday over break. from 4-midnight. Did i say that already sometime? i dunno. Anyway, i could use the extra money with retreats for cornerstone, and saving up to go to Florida this summer. And for school, and for bills, and for Christmas, and for emergency funds, and for a new computer…you get the idea. on that note, i added a “donation” block for unregistered users:) just cuz i am lame like that. not like i expect anything, just saw it and wanted one. If you register and are logged in though, you won’t see it. Registering is enough for me:) I seem to be getting a lot of traffic from google, maybe even more than traffic from people i know. It’s kinda weird seeing all this hits from turkey and stuff like that.

let it snow

14 December, 2003 (11:08) | Personal Update

holy cow! i had no idea that is was snowing so bad. There is like 6 inches of snow out, and it looks like PennDOT hasn’t even touched the roads. So needless to say, it was fun getting into work today. I love the snow though, i hope it never stops. But i also hope i can get home alright.

Yesterday, i never left my room. What a life. I just played on my computer, watched some movies, and that is about it. All day long. [sigh] if only i could do that every day. I work pretty much every weekday over break, 4-midnight.

Anyone Read the book “The Da Vinci Code”? It is supposed to be a pretty good book. It has a crazy website that sends you on a scavenger hunt around the internet. Apparently, the author plagarized a lot too:)

So if you weren’t impressed by someone beating Super Mario Brothers 3 in 11 minutes, then check out someone beating MegaMan in 30 minutes! Friggin MegaMan! I remember hanging out at Grandma Matthews’ house with Brady, Adam, and Micah, watching Brady play that game. I never beat it. Coincidently, i started playing it again last year sometime on an emulator, and didn’t even come close. I suck at games.

My room is a mess. I haven’t done any Christmas shopping yet. I have to get an oil change in the car. I am hungry. Tuesday, people are going to give me $50 to sit in a chair with electrodes hooked up to my brain for 4 hours. Can’t get anymore random than that! Have a good one! Stay warm!

News

videos, stats, forums quotes

13 December, 2003 (02:01) | News

I put up some videos in the download section. There are only 6 there, but maybe if you find some, you will be kind enough to add them there.

I am giving everyone who is registered access to the full blown stats on the left there, pretty useless, but good to look at if you are bored 🙂

There is an issue with single and double quotes in posts in the forums. i am working on a solution. so if you get some kind of a SQL error, remove any quotes you have. I am working on getting that fixed right away.

the ramblings of a crazy man

11 December, 2003 (01:18) | Personal Update

I just got done watching the movie Love, Actually. What a beautiful movie! It is about the agony of love, and the many faces it has. Wonderful.

and something i am really exited about. So now i have another title. Don’t ask me where that title came from though, i have no clue.:) Guess that is what they call people that carry around a cell phone. I am so glad to be a part of that. Great people at Touchtown.

I am wondering if i don’t provide enough “nitty gritty” of the “ins and outs” of Josh Hall in my updates. Do you guys find them at all interesting? I usually just say “this is what i did today, this is how i feel about it” but maybe i should let you get into my head more, and just write down anything and everything i am thinking. making this more of a blog.

So i am done with this semester. I really suck with college, i am going to change my major to something to do with business and see how that goes. I hate computer science with a passion.

I went to the last cornerstone of this semester, and had a great time, it was really relaxed. Afterwards, i went out and played pool with my new friend Chris:) he is really outgoing, and he is a leader, like i will be doing starting this coming semester. I am really looking forward to it. There are retreats and stuff we get to go on. The first one being Jan 2-4, where just the leaders go. And the best part of it is that it is FREE! I am really hoping to make some lasting friendships there.

Billy Talent is playing tomorrow at Nick’s Fat City, and i convinced Becky to go down with me. I am so pumped. And get this, Matchbook Romance is playing next tuesday! I am so there! What a time to be alive! and i feel like it too! My mood has been so great, i never want it to stop! but alas, i have to stop typing, this is becoming quite the novel! Talk to me people! and talk to everyone else here too! I want this to be a place where i can spend with all of you. register if you haven’t! And thank you all for making me feel so happy.

movies and weather

9 December, 2003 (00:44) | Site Update

I put up a fairly detailed weather block to the right. let me know what city you are in, and your city code, and i will add it there. I am looking for one that will default to each user’s location, but i haven’t found one yet.

I am working on getting the movie database up. Only registered users will have access to it. It is still under construction, but it is getting there.

Had to change the layout around a little bit, let me know what you think about it. I didn’t think surveys needed to be the first thing people see. Let me know if you have any suggestions or problems!
