I'm back!!!

Well, it's been a couple months since I've posted an entry on my blog.

The SPKML.com website is down for the time being. Soon I'll have it back online. I've been toying with the whole idea of the SPKML language thing for a little over a year but haven't really been able to get it off the ground. At this point it's pretty much a pipe-dream but it's the dreamers who seem to make the changes in this world and I'd be proud to say one day that I stood up to be counted among their ranks.

I'm interested in a girl right now. She's short and very pretty but we'll see what happens with that. I think I'd prefer to stay friends for a while before anything else but even there I'm getting ahead of myself. I'll keep you updated.

I am looking for new friends actually... Sober ones... meaning friends who don't use drugs or drink yet are fun. I know that seems like a tall order but I think those are the friends I'd enjoy most... I want to meet people who know what being a human is about though... I don't mind if you've made mistakes. Shit, so have I...

Anyway

I'll post another entry soon...  Promise.

CodeBase available as a Yahoo Widget Engine Widget

CodeBase has been uploaded to the Yahoo Widget Engine Gallery as a widget, not unlike the one available for Tiger's Dashboard...  As of this post, barely a day since it's been available, it's already been downloaded 600 times!!!  SIX HUNDRED TIMES IN LESS THAN 24 HOURS!!!

Needless to say, I'm stoked.

Back home in KCMO

Well, I'm in the basement, at home in Kansas City, Missouri, having safely made the 16 day, roundtrip journey to the Hawaiian island of Maui. I stayed with my brother, at his house in Kahalui, which is where most of the locals live. He lives so close to the Maui Arts Center (MAC) that we were able to pretty much experience the entire kokua festival from the living room. The main acts were Ben Harper, Willie Nelson and Jack Johnson. We went up to the MAC and showed up right as Jack Johnson was going on stage. We parked and hung out in the parking lot, drinking beer and such.

I recorded some stuff while I was there but I really took advantage of the concept that it was a vacation and just chilled out and relaxed most of the time. I still have to edit together the rest of the raw video footage that I took while I was there. I'd recorded a song with Garageband while I was there, utilizing some default loops but I also played my harmonica, which I'd brought with me. I used my iPod as an external hard-drive to save the session and have been trying to come up with the rest of the lyrics for the song, which is still untitled.

At any rate, I had a blast and would love to go back someday, perhaps even move there for a year or so, though I don't see that happening anytime soon.

Yay!!! I'm going to Hawaii... Yay!!!

That's right. It's official. I'm going to Maui, April 11th through April 25th: 2 weeks of fun in the sun.

My brother moved there last year and paid for me to come visit. While I'm there, I'll go snorkling, which I've never done. I'm also planning on doing some other things. I'll tell you guys about it later.

Right now, I'm working on my website. I'm really excited as 4 days ago I installed a hit counter that counts visitors, not hits and I've had 216 unique visitors view my site. That's perhaps more than I've ever had within a single week and the week's not over.

I've been getting quite a bit of traffic on SPKML.com the past couple days, now that I can tell, having installed a counter that only counts unique visitors and not just visits.

I'm pretty stoked about some of the recent events and have been trying to work out some things. Anyway, that's it for now.

Latest News

Well, I guess the latest news is that I'm planning a trip, possibly, to visit my brother in Maui.  I've begun working on writing my next book, which I actually started about ten years ago, which is why I mentioned it being the title of my 2nd book, in the song, "SPKML".
