Hotelblues.com Opens! was the first post to this website of mine. That was five years ago today. My site is five years old. It’s been a pretty wild five years. Well not really, it’s been up and down as far as the fun goes. So five years have come and gone. I wonder if this site will make it another five? I hope it does.

NASA Emergency Notice – 02/01/2003, CNN.com – Seven astronauts killed as shuttle shatters – Feb. 1, 2003, Space shuttle breaks up on re-entry and for live video of the Nasa Press Conference going now try MSNBC – Live Video page. All I can say is what in the fuck is going on? I’m watching this press conference and just about shit when Chief Flight Director Milt Heflin says at the press conference:

“this is a bad day”

And all I can think is no shit Milt. But what about the bad day those seven Astronauts just had? George Junior said:

“journey into space will go on”

Well yeah I’m going to buy that George. We will throw money into the bottomless pit that is Nasa when we are getting already to warmonger? Nah I don’t buy that at all. This will be a good excuse for them to cut funding to Nasa.

And don’t get me wrong I’m all for space exploration. But don’t you think that between losing shuttles and all of those lost mars probes that Nasa is the most competent organization to handle our space program. I think the space program needs to be run by a private company. No government interference. Man this sucks.

I’ve been playing the piss out of Dungeon Siege again. It’s just a fun mindless kind of rpg. Hack and slash is it’s bread and butter. This one has even been eating into my Dark Age of Camelot time. The last time I showed shots of this game they were very boring. So here are six screens that are not so boring.

And I still love that packmule!

Have you seen the new poll? The question is Should I do a website for the Hotel that fired me? So here is the deal. I will make my decision to help the hotel based on the outcome of this poll. Democracy in action, isn’t it wonderful? Currently the results look like this:

Should I do a website for the Hotel that fired me?
Yes	0%	(0)
No	100%	(3)
Total votes: 3

So go and vote and help me decide if I will help the hotel.

It makes me wonder why I even run the damn thing. AIM is full of stupid fucks. Sorry that may be kind of harsh. But I just hate playing childish games.

This pinhead makes the last time I chatted with someone I didn’t know look like a genius.

Unreal 2 has been out for a couple of weeks and I finally picked it up. I was hesitant because I heard it needs a hefty system. But apparently my computer is still hefty enough to get around 30 fps at 1024×768 with almost all settings on high. Sure 30 fps isn’t the best, but it’s playable. Here are six shots showing off the amazing graphics of Unreal 2:

Yeah I’m a guy. Isn’t it amazing how advanced these games get, the more advanced boob computer generation gets. Look at those boobs man. Those are some high tech computer generated boobs. But really did you see them? What is it with computer games and women with big breasts? I’m not complaining. It’s just a thought.

So a long time ago in a galaxy far far away I wanted to be a comic book artist. Lots of time have passed and some of the dreams I had have been relinquished. But the product of that dream still survives.

I have put up my feeble attempt at a comic book here. It’s not pretty. It’s doesn’t have a great story. But it’s mine. The only good thing about these pages is that I look at them and remember the how I used to feel about art. Take them for what they are.
