January 18, 2006 - Life is precious
You know, people take their lives for granted sometimes, as well as the
lives of others. My girlfriend's little sister attempted to kill herself
this weekend; thankfully it was unsuccessful. I mean, I'm not too close
to her, but I don't think she knows what an impact she has on other people
around her. Brooke would be devastated, as would most who know her. My
friend Carlos, whom I haven't kept in touch with until a few days ago,
just went through a breakup with his girlfriend today. This was at 10:52AM.
I read about it in his blog. He writes that he now is taking drugs like
cocaine and the sort, and that he wants to die. I've tried calling him,
but I haven't heard anything. He didn't know how his death would affect
other people around him. He says that he feels like no one loves him or
cares for him. Well you know what? They do. Carlos was my best friend
at Fairhill. I hope he's okay. And to anyone reading this, I wanted to
say that life's worth the struggle. I know this, I haven't had the ideal
life, and I know people who want their past completely erased, but to
be honest, life gives you second chances, and death dosen't. Please, to
anyone who feels like it's not worth it, it really is. I should know.
Carlos, wherever you are, I hope you're okay.

January 15, 2006 - Cumpu-flu season
Happy new year! Well, Unnatural Wave has had some updateless time for
a while, as I lost my C drive to viruses. Blasted buggers. Anyways, I'm
so swamped now that I've got my web authoring and image construction software
back. I've got signatures to make, sites to update, and yeah. It's also
3:15AM right now. Man, I'm tired. Anyways, I've done some minor updates
to the site, including the main page. I'm also uploading some new Halo
CE maps right now. After those get uploaded, I'm going to sleep. Anyways,
I am still alive. Keep visiting us. Laters.

December 20, 2005 - Xmas is coming soon
Wow, it's almost Christmas! I can't believe it. There's even a style on
the forums that matches
the season! (Yes, I added the snowflakes). Anyways, I overhauled the games
page today. I really haven't updated or changed anything much since I'm
working on another
site project. I did buy CAD premium, by the way, as well as ordered
a Winter-Een-Mas shirt. For more on Winter-Een-Mas, visit their website.
Again, another forum theme for that particular occasion. I will be leaving
town on Wednesgay, December 21, so I won't be around for a bit. Also,
as usual, the XBOX 360's are scarce. Microsoft decided to call my GameStop
store and say that our pre-order customers won't get their systems before
Christmas. Wow is that fun! Uhh, let's see.... what else is going on....
NOTHING! Alright, laters.

December 1, 2005 - It's the end of the year as
we know it.
Happy last-month-of-2005!!! December is here, meaning lots of cold, Christmas
lights, funny-looking pictures of reindeer, and maybe even a new theme
for the forums (check back later, lol). But one thing that isn't an every
December occurrence is the OMG CAD ANIMATION
PREVIEW!!! Yeah, my paycheck comes tomorrow, so you could guess what
the first transaction's going to be. Yeah, I'm excited. Anyways, I was
sick all day today, I slept through most of the day. I did, however, fit
in enough time for Need for Speed: Most Wanted. I was able to beat the
number 14 Blacklist racer, so now I'm a bit further in the game with my
Chevy (I hate GM Cars) Cobalt SS. It's pretty fast now, but I'm working
my way up the the '05 Mustang, and then to the GT. So yeah, there's a
trip to go visit ID Software tomorrow, the makers of Doom 3, for the Computer
Club at school. That's pretty exciting. Uh, I believe that's all I have
to say right now. Laters.

November 28, 2005 - Why do they always send the
poor?
Can you believe it?! I've actually started work on the Pole-Land Militia
(PLM) website v2.0!! Everyone who is a part of the Pole-Land online community
will know what I'm talking about. Now I'm pretty much looking for another
site to design. If you need a design, please contact me. Uh, that's all
I can think of right now.

November 23, 2005 - Updaytes
Okay, there've been some subtle changes to the site. First of all, all
of the footers not say "Xyro TR1". Second, you may have noticed
that the left Navigation Bar has undergone some facelifting, as well as
some title clarification. Also, a new Downloads page has been added, but
not yet completed. The "Music" page is now not only Music, but
videos too. Uh, yeah, now for my personal news. Brooke is coming over
tomorrow for Thanksgiving. I'm quite excited to actually be able to spend
a whole day with her. I haven't done that in a while. I'm hoping we can
go and hang out on Friday, spend the day together and stuff. So yeah.
I've been on DeviantArt alot lately, and I've submitted some more wallpapers.
Uh, yeah. THat's about it. I'll update some other time, maybe tomorrow.

So, yesterday I helped Brooke's family move into their new house.
That was interesting. I know they're having a hard time with it, it's
difficult to move to a new house. It's like you're leaving every good
thing behind in that old house. But the thing is, you're leaving the bad,
taking the good. Well, hmm. OH! Paul just said "GAH.
YOU WANKER". Lols. Anyways, I am slightly tired. I worked
21.75 hours this week. So yeah. Oh, I forgot to mention this earlier.
I am in the process of editting all of the footers on these pages, and
they should all say "Xyro TR1" instead of "The Rift 101"
by the end of Wednesday. In turn, if you see any of them I missed, please
let me know. Thanks.

I know it's been forever since my last update. There have been some slight
technical difficulties with some explosions and the sort. Now, Unnatural
Wave is back to being updated, and the world is now a better place. EXCEPT
THAT MY WINDOWS THING SAYS I ONLY HAVE 8 MORE DAYS UNTIL I DIE!!!1!!1!1!!!
Grr, I hate not having enough money to buy a new copy of XP! Anyways,
I was running out of fitting shirts, so I decided to order some new ones
off of ZeStuff. I ordered CAD's "Ethan" T-Shirt, and I also
ordered "Rat-Flail" form VGCats. They should be here in 2-4
weeks. So yeah. Um, I also needed to say that "Xyro TR1" is
the new username for "The Rift 101", the site's administrator.
That is all.

Well, since my last post, my life has gotten almost back on track. Some
things are, I feel, a little bit shaky, but in general I'm feeling better.
I'm working on maybe putting Google Ads into the site so I can get some
money, because this hosting is expensive as hell. I need some feedback
on that. And damn it all if I didn't get those games put in. Grr, I've
had a busy day. Actually, the date listed for this post is actually not
the date I'm posting from. It's 2:00am on Sept. 19, lol. I had a SoBe
at lunch, and not much food, so I'm awake for the moment. Yeah, time for
sleep. Enjoy the stuff!

Meh, life hasn't been all that great lately. Stuff I don't want to make
available on the internet. Guh. Oh, guys, I need games. I really, really
need games. I'm in the process of putting some up from the games request
topic in the forum, but I still need more. C'Mon guys! That's it from
today.

First of all, I'd like to apologize for the long update-less time period.
I'll try not to let that happen again. I've put a link in the Games section
of the site for game recommendations. That should help make the site better.
I'm getting ready to update the Random section with some more random shizz,
and yeah. It's just a content update day. More to come. Oh, and I got
an XBOX!!!
It's a Halo Special Edition, too!!!

Okay, so the site is up, completely. The forums are working, I've got
some good flash games, and I've got an active proxy list for bypassing
web filters. And you can access this site from PISD's computers! That's
always good. Not like I cant get around the block anyways, but yay still!
And hell, I still have to do my CCNA (Cisco Networking Academy Prog.)
homework. And it's 2:33AM! Damn. Anyways, just a bit of FYI, the site's
done now. I'm still looking for affiliates, though, so let
me know.

I've decided that the news page here will do not only normal news, but
also provide a place for my occasional blog. So I guess I will start that
now.
Today was a strange day. I was tired all day, so my performance at work
sucked beyond belief. I got no reservations and no subscriptions. Shit.
Anyways, I was exhausted and had a stomach ache when I got home, so I
went to bed, but woke up later to answer the door because Bob had come
by to give me some music. My stomach was better then, so I decided to
read my new Harry Potter book. I finished it. It was a really good book.
Now, I'm not one to show emotions such as sadness, but hell if I didn't
get all worked up at the end of that book. I'm still upset. Anyways, I'm
going to sleep now. Goodnight.

A new GameStop, that I'm currently employed at, has just opened up at
the southwest corner of State Highway 121 and Ohio. Opening is between
12:00noon and 1:00pm. It is a concept store for GameStop since a large
percentage of the store will be comprised of used DVD's. The DVD's are
now following the same rules as console games: you can sell us your used
games/movies, and you can either buy new or used copies of the game. Oh,
and be sure to buy the GameStop card for $15.00. You get a discount on
all used games/movies you buy,and the savings start with whatever you
are buying that day. It's really cool. Hope to see you there.
