learn away! and leave me a comment, ok?

You know what? I live inside my head. I mean we all live inside our heads, but my skin is like a wall that holds me and keeps everyone else out. It’s as if I live in my own world and everything that happens in the outside world doesn’t really pertain to me at all. I don’t think anyone truly knows me really, the real me.

Does that make any sense? People are born and die every day, but I have no concept of it. The vastness of the world, the universe that I live in has no affect on me. Sometimes I can’t sleep at night if I start to think about it, so most of the time I don’t wanna think about it. All the stuff that I think about everyday. I never reach out to people to communicate that. I tend to keep everything inside.

Yes, I have a cold, I’m currently “not all here” if you catch my drift. Too hopped up on Robitussin and Classic Coke to know what’s going on. That’s prolly why I accidentally moved then deleted some files from the server here. Then this one girl hadda re-edit them cuz she worked off the server instead of making copies. Eh, whatever.

Anyhow, I’ve found code that allows you to create drop-down menus using minimal JavaScript and some CSS. It’s nice cuz it’s very minimal JavaScript, not like some drop-down monsters that have all this crazy code for testing browsers and whatnot. Enjoy!

I need to practice my driving more. See, I don’t like driving cuz there’s too many crazies on the street, plus I hate changing lanes. H A T E, I am using the word ‘hate’ to describe my feelings on changing lanes. I abhor it, I am reduced to a shriveling coward when it comes to changing lanes.

Most people don’t let you change lanes and you end up a bitter person that cuts everyone off and one day ends up causing a and accident cuz you cut off the wrong person. It happens, my sister was cut off once and ran off the road into a building my dad’s truck suffered minor damage but my sister was ok. They never caught the guy and the insurance paid for a lot of the damage cuz there were witnesses that attested to the fact that she was cut off and it wasn’t her fault during the police report. State Farm rocks, by the way.

The transition of my portfolio site from HTML to XHTML. Jeez, I just finished created JavaScript code to dynamically *document.write* the flash code into the html page to circumvent a new feature in the version of IE coming out early next year.

If you don’t know what the heck I’m talking about, you haven’t read this article. :p
