by yours truly, the Smalrus

Well, as you all know, a lot of my site is writing and expression of thoughts. I like the arts...i like writing, i like drawing, i like playing and writing music... So in continuation to get my thoughts out there, i've reserved this page for some of the stuff i write...be it graded or not...essays, notes on subjects, poems, or prose...i hope to start putting stuff on here, and you can agree or disagree, and i can agree or disagree (after all, my thoughts change as i age, no?)...and probably, i wouldn't be surprised if i referred to works on this site, or if i start elaborating on a work on this site in my reflections...such as i might use my first work listed here and talk about it relating to my life and my current situations...(All works are written by me, copyright me. Please do not use these and claim they're you're own. Remember, they're saved on my computer with the date on my computer. If you wanna take it to court, my computer has the original date...)Now with the legalities out of the way...without further ado...

What is love?- my english midterm presentation notes for 1/18/00...they're notes to improvise from
the song in the background is a crude midi of the song i talk about...

Used To- this is a song i wrote in the midst of my breakdown one night.
in light of my situation with sarah, i realized what's slipping away in my life...

Masada-Mountain of Individuality-i wrote this essay for the college common app

My Dream from 5/15/00-i had this dream and i think if freud knew what was going

Google Finance

I've become a big advocate of Google. I think they truly have managed to break the hold of Microsoft and if anything, have also demonstrated the sheer power of the cliched Web 2.0. This finance site is no small potatoes either. The graphs are so simple yet so lush in data, and the rest of the pages are no different. Perhaps the most appealing feature is the portfolio which, with a Google account, lets you enter in how many shares of a stock you own and track all of its vitals in one page. I entered in my 401k breakdown and at any given time, it lets me visualise my account better than my 401k planner does.



Gastroenteritis

The stomach flu got me at the end of the year, making for the worst sickness I've felt in probably 10-15 years. Every hour, I was either on or over the toilet and at times, had to keep a bag next to the bed for those times I couldn't make it to the toilet fast enough. From what I've heard, I wasn't the only one to catch this horrible disaster in the past 2-3 weeks. I was supposed to go to Andrew's for the opening of the 7 year old time capsule and video but the stomach flu sidelined my plans (I'm finally at about 85% recovery) and for that, you are the asshole of the week.
