About Page / Photo Album Finished! on 01.19.2009

For months now the About section of the site has been empty, but not anymore! In the last couple of days I've done my best to fill in all sections of the page, including: What is Snubby Land?, Stevie, Isaiah, the Photo Album, Work Statistics, and Sponsors and Friends. Some sections still have 'Under Contruction' text in them, but that's just because there was something relevant that I wanted to mention that hasn't fully happened yet (like me getting Mono but not recovering yet). I'll fill in those sections ASAP. Also, the slick new Photo Album only has 1 picture so far, but I'll try to fill that up. It's just kind of hard since I have Mono and nobody can really be around me for too long.

In terms of other site progress, I upgraded the main navigation so that now you can almost open tabs like you'd be able to if it was done in HTML. When you middle-click a button it opens a new window. I wanted it to open a new tab, but that's not actually possible if it's done in Flash, so this is the next best thing. Also, I finally added the redesign into the Web Design page. Check it out here, but there's actually no point seeing as you're already on the redesign as you read this.

I'm still unbearably sick with Mono, however I've also made quite a bit of progress on Little Wing and a game I'm working on with Ansel (artist from SUPERTANK). I'll put a preview up on that game when we've got enough of it done, but if you're dying for progress on it there's a little note at the bottom of the the Work Statistics section on what percentage we have done (it is called Mysery Game-3). We are currently ~5% done the game, but we've been working fast since I have a lot of time to work and Ansel is naturally a good worker. Also, since we've worked together before we already have a chemistry there.

Like I mentioned earlier, I'm fucking sick. Since Monday, January 12 I've lost a little under 20 pounds, which is not good at all! I now only weight about 158 pounds, and to put that in perspective, the most I've weighed is 195 pounds. I guess the weight loss is due to the throwing up and the not eating; the soars in my throat make it unbearable to swollow anything, even spit. The only thing I can really drink without too much pain is water, anything else burns my throat. I am yet to find something that doesn't hurt to eat, and that's my predicament. I don't know if you've ever rapidly lost weight before, but starving doesn't feel so good, especially if your sick as well.

On a different note, one of my friends showed my a Geto Boys song the other day. I've never really been a fan of rap, and I don't even like many of their other songs, but Straight Gangsterism is a damn good rap song, the best in the world in my opinion. Check it out below! That's also the introduction to the YouTube video embedding feature of the new site, I should use it more often.
