3/31/2001 08:43:00 PMJOEL 2.0
Everything has been put into motion. I've uploaded the new page and emailed everyone I thought might want to see it, so now it's time to relax and move on to things like resumes and The Reduced Website. Not now though... Now it's time for a nice warm shower and a pat on the back. Let me know what you think of the new site though. If you got here without seeing it, try going to http://www.geocities.com/amigarad and reloading. I've got a new email address too, to help commemorate this day: virtualjoel@hotmail.com
Thanks for coming!
3/31/2001 02:11:00 AMThe only Difference is that I see
I just got a chance to check out some of the pictures from Brent and Amanda's visit up here and let me just say this, "I look like a total Pud". I have a damn poofy haircut (the real bedhead-do) and I'm wearing a headband and it looks real bad. Don't worry, I'll post the photos laater, but trust me when I say that I'm no Claudia Shiffer. Got that? Good. I'm telling you, drunken bloggin' is the only way to go.
Mix it up
We listened to mix-a-lot as we drove to get food tonight and he is one of those rappers who most people don't really know. Sure, if you've heard "Baby Got back" then you're familiar with his affinity for large -butted women, but did you also know that he doesn't promote violence unless someone provokes him? Songs like "Jack-Back" and "My Bad side" let you know that if someone tries to break into his house or gives him a "flip-off-sign" he'll be glad to shoot you with one of the many weapons he owns, but only if you instigate it. He also doesn't do drugs and he dislikes people who mistreat women. Hitting women is uncool in Mix's book. He'll use you for your body and call you a "Skeez" or a "Bremelo" but lord knows he won't hit you.

I just got done watching "The Complete Al" with Kevin and Erica and Allen. allen left halfway through it and kevin fell asleep 1/4 of the way through, but it was just as good as I remember it being when I first saw it back in 6th grade. It was epic. I thought that maybe I would have gotten too old for the jokes in it, but they were still funny and I even got new ones that I didn't understand when I was younger. I also realized that Al reminds me of Josh Feibus if he went that direction. Now, I know htat Josh wouldn't like that comparison, but I think it's mostly the moustache. I certainly mean no disrespect to Josh. Al was the first artist whose albums I bought. I had them all. I don't own all of Josh's albums, but I am on them, so that must count for something...
tonight, tonight, toniiiight... Whooa-oooaaa
TOnight was one of those nights where nothing really happened but it was still fun, for me anyways. We waited around for Gleen to show up but he never did so we finally got fed up and went out to dinner. We got pizza, then came home and drank beer (and shmirnoffICE) so it was basically the night reserved for party-dudes, minus the hordes of attractive people. Instead we talked about Genetically Modified foods and Pepe Lopez Tequila, which has been renamed "P-Lo". We've had the Pepe Lopez Tequila in this house for about 9 months now and it doesn't seem to have decreased at all. Kevin drank some tonight, and for that we are all thankful. SPeaking of that, I'm drunk too!
Dropping me drawers
I went ahead and showed Kevin the Virtual Joel that I've been working on, and he seemed impressed. Everyone who has seen it has liked itbut that still doesn't satisfy me. I really think there's o much more I could do to make it better, but who has the time? Instead, I've decided that I need to redirect the focus of my life to learning to become an actor so that I can be on Star Trek. Seriously, if I was on Star Trek I wouldn't have any regrets. I mean, a cameo would be nice, but I'm talking about a recurring role. I mean, I'm the main-character of my life, why not Star Trek? It only makes sense. I drank my fair share tonight, making that 3 nights in a row of drunken typing. You should be pleased because I do it all for you. Actually, noone has ever written me in responser to anything I've written. You can be the first. Live it up. Peace and I'm outta here.
3/30/2001 04:58:00 PMYou'll get your photos... IN ABUNDANCE!
I put in some time and made a generic-photo-viewing webpage that I intend to use everytime that I post photos for your viewing enjoyment. The only problem is that I'll have to save all my photos as "photo1.JPG" and "photo2.JPG" rather than "JoelDancing.JPG" or "XXXAsianTeenWatersports.JPG". It'll really take some of my creativity away, and it'll probably make it real tough to tell my Asian Teen Watersports photos from my pictures of me dancing, but in the end it'll keep things more organized and hopefully keep cluttler low for YOU!
Truth be told
I did drink and type last night, but it didn't have the magic that the previous night had. I couldn't even post it until today either so that just detracted more from it. However, maybe I can keep the dream alive tonight, in preparation for the big Monday release of Virtual Joel 1.0! That's right! You heard it here first. In fact, I'll be launching a whole new webpage, one HTML and one Flash based, all for your PLEASURE. Get ready. Here's hoping I can get drunk tonight and let some more secrets out into the open! You're so lucky.
3/30/2001 04:42:00 PMWho wants to battle?
The title means nothing, but here's a treat... Uncle Joel, While you eat! Actually, that made no sense either, but I would like for you to feel free to eat while reading this, I promise not to get offended. THings have been going well since the last time I wrote. I put in even more time on Virtual Joel and he's about 99% done, so expect to see him up on the 'net real soon!
The best Laid Plans...
I had a plan to get drunk every night for a week to celebrate the release of Virtual Joel. I'd also write a comical drunken-blog each night to encourage people to come back often to see what hilarious hijinx this drunken character is up to. I still may do just that, but let's face it, being drunk won't solve all of my problems... Or will it?
April Showers does May Flowers
I need help. Specifically I need someone out there in this crazy world to start taping episodes of "Star Trek: The Next Generation" and send them to me. Don't get me wrong, I like the fact that Voyager comes on at 10pm followed immediately by DS9, but there's something about the classic Picard that I'm really missing in my life. I did call the TV network in Orlando when they took TNG off the air for a while when Brent and I lived together. I'm die-hard. So tape it and send it to me, dig? Whoever does this for me will receive $420 in camel cash. I don't smoke but believe me I have that camel cash. So, if you're lucky ewnough to live somewhere that has TNG on, tape it and send it to me. Tape it and send it to me. It's real easy.

Man, there's no greater feeling than having a few too many and heading to the cyber-realm. Typing when drunk is like a challenging puzzle and it makes it that much more rewarding when you come away with a coherent sentence. Tonight I had a few shots of Tequila with Kevin and Gleen in an attempt to get them both drunk enough to not buy overpriced drinks at the club they're going to to see Stevie Malkmus. I'm not going though, it's too rich a show for my blood ($16) and so I've got a good buzz going and I'm primed and ready to watch 3 hours of Star-Trek. Actually, thinking about it, I think I should reserve blogging for times when I am drunk. I think the general populous has had quite enough of "I'm still unemployed and happy" and is ready for stuff like "I'm totally messed up.asfksj...". I've extolled the virtues of drunk typing before, but allow me to reiterate, "It Rules".
What's hott, What's nott
Brent and Amanda (brent's new girlfriend and all-around righteous dude) are a great couple and I hope everything goes really well with them. I just wanted to let you guys know that because I was looking at my desktop wallpaper and they were on it. What's nott? Um... I shaved today after vowing (sortof) to not shave until I had a job-interview. I shaved because I had a dental check-up today and I didn't want the dentist to touch my hairy gross face. The worst part is I cut a huge gash out of my cheek as I wa shaving and I bled everywhere. That's totally lame, dudez.
Little known fax
Did you know I was once in a ska-band? It's true! Freshman year at FSU I played bass for a ska-band who lost their bassist. It was made-up of a bunch of smart kids in the Honors Dorm I was rooming in and it was fun. We even covered Rancid and Bad Religion. I bet you didn't know that! Actually, you probably did, because you're probably one of the 1-2 people who actually read this webpage and you already know everything about me. Bwah! Um, sorry for the unnecessary "Bwah!"...
All Apologies
It was pointless of me to apologize for the previous "Bwah!" and for that reason I'd like to rescind my apology. I hope you understand. See ya.
3/26/2001 09:52:00 AMPerfection Erection
I could say that the reason I haven't released Virtual Joel onto the world yet is because I'm a prefectionist and I don't want him to have any errors before I release him, but the sad truth is that I'll never achieve perfection with him. Sure, he's fun (for me) and I've put in some features to give him replay value, but there are ways I would make him differently if I was making him all oover again that would make him easier to program and I don't want to spend the time making him perfect, but certainly adequate. So, I've got one more big thing to wrap up with him, then I'll post him, people will come see my site for the first time in months, and I'll be a celebrated hero for an hour or two. It'll be great.
And then?
After his release into the wild, I'll have to shift gears and focus on working on a Reduced webpage, although "Job-Hunting" might be something worth putting time into as well. We shall see. UNtil then, it's "back to work" (on VJ that is!).
Want to see something old?
