this was my 1st layout. it's freakin horrible.. lol i don't even wanna talk about where i was going with this..

um my 2nd layout featuring Eve. that song let me blow your mind was out. i got a lot of compliments on this one about the way i tapered the edges of the main image.

hmm.. i used this fire filter and this is what i came up with. the image has the lyrics from one of my favorite Lauryn Hill songs. it says, "everytime i try to be what someone else thinks of me, so caught up i wasn't able to achieve, but deep in my heart, the answer it was in me."

this is really ugly.. i know. ugh i don't even know what i was thinking. it was only up for like a day though lol..

went for a clean, simple look. i used a braille font and kept to a color scheme. that's about it..

my 1st attempt at horizontal scrolling. this was before everybody else started doing it though. then everybody was trying t copy me so i felt cool. i had a lot of different sections on this layout. it got frustrating after awhile though because my tables kept un-aligning, so i took it down after a week.

i was chillin with my friend.. listenin to j. lo's CD. play came on and i started designing. it didn't come out right though and my little page graphics kept messing up (see how site ish is all big). yea, i got mad and took it down lol.

my scrollbars didn't work so i couldn't use this layout. when i typed more, it just ran down onto the background. it sucked anyways..

blah. some stars, some diamonds.. it was all one big image w/text on top so it took a long time to load.

when my cousin got arrested i took my page down and this was just a temp layout/hiatus thangy.

my 1st attempt at 3D. it was horrible i don't wanna talk about it lol.

lil kim.. mmm. lol. wasn't really anything too special. once again i made one big image so it took entirely too long to load. i didn't know how to slice my images yet.

random dingbats. i was goin for a hiphop feel. um a lot of ppl liked the colors i used. peaches and cream played in the background.

splash page then the blog page. it was pink. i tried to make my 1st image map by using those pictures in the top bar, but that idea didn't come out too well..

yea i like blue.. not really to much to say about it though.. but um. yeah i liked this a lot.

after aaliyah died i took my page down for a couple of months.. took a little internet break. this image might not look all that great but it took me forever becuz i couldn't get the right colors to go along with it.

i put my page back up in october. bubba sparxxx had just come out with that song "ugly" and me and my girl were obsessed with it lol. so yea.. i made this. it was basically just a lot of simple lines. it was real neat and clean lookin.

the model in this picture looks like this girl i know named sarah tysoe! hahaa but yeah. i liked this a lot! i dunno why.. i just did lol.

um it was getting cold outside and i had my previous layout up for a long time... so i made this. nothing special.

um i liked this layout. it was my 1st time using layers to create an image. and i learned how to use i-frames so i was excited about that. i actually made my next layout (the pink one) before i made this one, but i had a few things to work out so i went ahead and put this one up.

i pink is the shit, and i thought this layout was the shit too. the people in the background danced around! and it was my 1st time using i-frames, so when u clicked the sublinks underneath my cam image, the pages loaded in the blog window. i thought i was sooo cool lol.

i tag a lot. yeah.. this was simple stuff. i liked it.. i just scanned this drawing i did in my sketchbook and added an inline frame.

i liked this layout a lot and i spent a lot of time on it but after i put it up i only kept it up for a day.. i'm weird like that lol.

"pimpin yo grampa since 1947." that just proves how dumb i am lol. wow i suck, but i had to make something new because i wasn't really feeling my previous layout after i put it up. this was also up only a day.

3rd layout in 3 days. it only took me one night. it features lyrics to lil kim's song "hold on" feat. mary j blidge. it says, "oh how it hurts, like child birth, the wounds heal slow, you just don't know, at times i don't know what to say, and i pray day to day, but i still feel my strength might die, like right now i'm trying not to cry. don't give up, be strong, hold on, hold on. things are gonna get better. tough times they last so long, hold on, hold on, if you believe they will get better. so i guess you see, how the story ends, depressed stressed, don't know who my real friends..."

this layout was the bomb man! it was really simple, but i loved it. it had links at the top above the blog and they opened in the i-frame.
