As it stands right now, these are the sites I visit the most. <br><br> <a href="http://maddox.xmission.com/">The Best Page in the Universe</a> This one deserves to not only be first but also seperated from the pack because it really is the best page in the universe. When it came to my thought-blurbs section, I'd written out maybe five or six (two were good, three were mediocre, the other I scrapped), but after a couple days of reading this guy's rants, I had an explosion of creativity and must have written at least 16 more pages of thought-blurbs. He helped me get back in touch with my ideas. And on top of all the inspiration, he's a funny SOB to boot. So here's to Maddox...I raise a toast to you by giving people a link to your site.<br><br> <A HREF="http://www.rpi.edu/~deselt/cwc/index.html">Cichon's Wing Chun Kung Fu</A> Capitol Region's only authentic Wing Chun school, and my home away from home. The site is still under construction but it's coming along good.<br> <A HREF="http://board.crumbs.net/cgi-bin/ikonboard.cgi">CRUMBS</A> Where Capitol Region musicians find each other. I've never started a band or even met people from this site myself, but I enjoy the message boards and band list.<br> <A HREF="http://www.darkdreams.org/darkdreams.html">Dark Dreams-the Films of Dario Argento</A> A very good website about the only Italian horror director that matters, Dario Argento. Also you can see nude pics of his smokin' hot daughter Asia (who, I believe, is in that upcoming Van Diesel movie).<br> <A HREF="http://www.ebay.com">eBay</A> Best place in the world to find all kinds of odd stuff for what (occasionally) amounts to a real steal of a price...I've found most of my Smashing Pumpkins bootlegs from this site.<br> <A HREF="http://www.fangoria.com">Fangoria</A> My favorite magazine for years...glad to see it online, and with a fiction section too!<br> <A HREF="http://www.hedwiginabox.com/main.html">Hedwig in a Box</A> A cool little site devoted to one of the greatest movies to come along in ages. Here's to hoping John Cameron Mitchel and company don't just disappear after this one! Check out the music too, it's some of the best ever written. Standout songs: "Origin of Love," "Wig in a Box", "Freaks", and "Wicked Little Town"...both versions (Hedwig version and Tommy Gnosis version) are wonderful.<br> <A HREF="http://www.altcountrytab.com/jayhawks/">Jayhawks Guitar Tab</A> If there's anyone out there who wanted to learn the Jayhawks songs (like me, a true fanatic), here you are. They have just about every song tabbed out except for most of the first album (and some B-sides are missing). But other than that, this is a Jayhawks fan's dream come true...especially if that fan also plays guitar.<br> <A HREF="http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Club/2471/">Mesmerizing: Another Liz Phair Page</A> Good site dedicated to one of the most innovative, hip, witty, and not to mention gorgeous woman in rock...my future bride, Liz Phair.<br> <A HREF="Http://www.blamo.org">Siva-the Smashing Pumpkins Website</A> Along with the Jayhawks this is/was my favorite band of all time. Not only was Billy a good hardworking prolific writer, but the Pumpkins rocked in a way that, to my ears, no other band ever has. There's something about when they crank the volume and play intense...wires right into my nervous system like caffeine no matter how many times I hear their songs.<br> <A HREF="http://www.wckfc.com">True Ip(Yip) Man Wing Chun Kung Fu</A> My school (see Cichon's link above) is affiliated with this wing chun family. My Sifu's teacher is Yip Ching, whose father was Yip Man...the last undisputed grandmaster of wing chun and also the one who taught Bruce Lee.<br><br> <!--EndFreetext--> <p> </body> </html>
