Someday you'll be sorry
Someday when you're free
Memories will remind you
That our love was meant to be
Late at night when you call my name
The only sound you'll hear
Is the sound of your voice calling
Calling after me.
This page is a history of my pages. I will discuss how the pages came to be, the people behind them, and probably some things certain people don't want me to discuss. So on with the history lesson.

Ken is giving my exact thoughts on those I don't like. L-R: Walling (The Reaper), Me (Thrown together shit), Benson (The Phantom), Ken (Was going to be a vampire), Jenny (Cat).
Oh mother, tell your children
Not to do as I have done
Don't spend your life in sin and misery
In the house of the rising sun
In the beginning, there was nothing. I watched an episode of Friends and they made a "list" of the 5 people they'd most like to get into bed. So Mike Benson, Mike Walling, Jason Haight, and myself decided to do the same. And I decided to put it on the internet. Now back then, I was a novice at the internet. But America Online offered free web space so I decided, what the hell, let's do it. So the first page was born on November 30, 1996. Soon after, Jason's use as a friend faded and he was phased out. This event also fueled my nickname of The FA or rather, The Fucking Asshole. After a while, the page got way too big, especially list wise, to keep all in one place, so I started to branch out. First came the Lists page, which was very similar to the home page. It had all the lists and more pictures of us partying. I'm sure many people came looking for naked women, since it was my most popular page with over 27,000 hits. There are none though.

You said we'd work it out
You said that you had no doubt
That deep down we were really in love
Oh, but I'm tired of holding on
To a feeling I know is gone
I do believe that I've had enough

I've had enough of the falseness
Of a worn out relation
Enough of the jealousy
In the entire duration
Oh I make you live
And you make me cry
I believe it's time for me to fly
My next page was taken in a different direction. I also have to give credit where credit is due here. I made the poetry and philosophy page for mostly two reasons. My love of sharing what I know with people and my friendship with Jamie who's poetry I fell in love with when I first read it. At first there were a couple of pictures, a poem from Jamie weekly, and a few quotes. It has since become ever slowly, more popular. It has seen poet's such as Jamie, Brandy, Rhyanna, Kristi, and other's pass through it's doors. Now I just house a poem of the week from either an unknown poet or a famous one. I have quotes from many different subjects as well as more pictures and lyrics.
What was it you wanted
I ain't keepin' score
Are you the same person
That was here before?
Is it something important?
Maybe not.
What was it you wanted?
Tell me again I forgot.

Damn we look Smooth!
I've been seeing Lisa now for a little over a year
She said she's never been so happy but Lisa lives in fear
That one day daddy's gonna find out she's in love
With a nigger from the streets
Oh how he would lose it then but she's still here with me
'Cause she believes that love will see it through
And one day he'll understand
And he'll see me as a person not just a black man

'Cause I believe that love is the answer
I believe that love will find the way
Then there was the beer page. I was watching all these shmoe's with their little reviews of things and I don't much buy into them. What makes these slob's experts on anything. If they can review shit, so can I. So, we started reviewing beer, movies, music, and things of that nature. Now this page has had the hardest time gathering a following since I have not been good about keeping up with the pages. Especially when I was running up here all the time to spend time with my ex lying whore Rachel.

Shadows are fallin', and I've been here all day.
It's too hot to sleep, 'n' time's runnin' away.
Feel like my soul has turned into steel.
I still got the scars, but they're starting to heal.
There's not even room enough to be anywhere.
It's not dark yet, but it - 's gettin' there.
In all honesty, it was the demise of my relationship with my ex lying whore that prompted me to start working on my pages again. You see, there were pictures of her up on the philosophy and poetry page talking about how proud of her I was. I just couldn't allow that to be up anymore. So I found a new domain, as AOL wouldn't allow me to update my pages, and away I went.

Well, were drivin' this car and the sun is comin up over the Rockies,
Now I know she ain't you but she's here and she's got that dark rhythm in her soul.
But I'm too over the edge and I ain't in the mood anymore to remember the times when I was your only man
And she don't want to remind me. She knows this car would go out of control.
That brings me to what has become my newest page. My friends page. I felt I needed to make a page dedicated to my friends. They know how I feel about them, but everyone should know. This was also prompted by my ex lying whore and her tainted thought of what friendship is. I put pictures up of many friends, but had to also leave many off. I just don't have the room to include everyone. But I love them all. Everyone of them helped me through the hell this summer was.

The last page to talk about is the tribute to the legend, Walter Payton. He was my boyhood hero. Someone I always admired, not only for his accomplishments on the football field, but also off. He was a wonderful humanitarian. One that will be truly missed, not only in Chicago.

I think the best thing about having a history page is being able to decide when it's updated. Let's see, when I last left you, the Walter Payton page was the newest. I since added the Y2K page which basically cronicled our last day of the 1900's and our passage into 4 new numbers. Following it was Brian's past beer page, which has his past review's posted on it. As far as my life goes, I went and saw family in LA that I haven't seen in ages and got to see Les Miserables again with a long time friend named Angela. I got to meet my sisters for the first time. Got to party for the Super Bowl with my cousin's, which was a blast. On a personal note to my family in LA, I know I don't write a lot or visit a lot. It doesn't mean I don't give a shit. I carry you all in my heart. And remember, it's always going to be a two way road. All of you are welcome to come see me at any time. You'll find out quickly just how much family you have out here.

I seemed to have dealt with a lot lately. My nephew's and niece have moved to Kentucky to live with their father. A move perpetuated by his mother because he doesn't have a set of testicles. First they belonged to his mother, and then to his ex girlfriend who just happened to be the wife of a man in the navy, and when her husband returned she passed his nuts back to his mother. Quite pathetic if you ask me. I have friends going through tough times. I've gone through my share, especially through 1999. The people who have been there, I may never be able to repay. Anyway, that's enough of the update for now.

I guess the last thing I have to add is another rant from the mouth of The FA. I've lived what seems like a long time. It truly has not been that long. I've seen many things. I've lived through many things. Been friends with many people. I think the most important lesson I ever learned was this. Work as hard as you can, live as full a life as possible, and love more than you ever imagined. I've loved and love a great many people. I've been in love with two, and they were fortunate to see what most never will. And yes, it's conceeded, but I know how much I love. A wise man once said, "what I give, I give myself."
How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?
