cascading stylesheets
i first discovered HTML almost 6 years ago. before then, i thought the method for making web pages was similar to a WYSIWYG editor. needless to say, i was miffed, but i learned that quaint little mark up language. and for years i saw mystical acronyms like CSS and dHTML sprinkled across sites like Webmonkey. but i resisted. i had no desire and no need to learn them. and that's the way it was up until just a few days ago. i realized that i was old school. and i'm not even 17 yet! i was like those old people who use their egg timers even when the all the numbers are worn off. so i resolved myself to learn CSS, a more efficient way to do HTML. and i did, and now i feel empowered. enlightened, even. so if you're a geek and want to feel alive again, go to Webmonkey and learn CSS. you'll be glad you did.

some rebel i am
well, i finally broke down and decided to use the angelfire blogging tool. for those of you that just tuned in, when i heard that angelfire had a blogging tool, but one had to pay to use it, i was indignant. i don't know why, exactly. i just didn't think it was fair. i rebelled. i didn't need them anyway, so started my own make-shift blog. eventually i got tired of it and decided to use this because i'm lazy and would rather do things the easy way than try to change the world. have you ever noticed how the apathetic are far less stressed than the ambitious?
