after a long bout with fortunecity, i have finally triumphed and begun to update this site.
it's been almost three years, i think, since alley and i started this site. september 21 seems to stick in my mind, for some reason. ah, no matter. the world of newsies has changed. many sites that i used to love browsing while in my newsies prime are now dead or in a state of no longer being updated. many of the people i loved are gone. all the things i knew in newsies, are now changed.

so why am i redoing the site?

you know, to be perfectly honest, i don't know. i really don't. maybe it's because i've come so far HTML-wise that i want to try something better than what the junk this site used to be. maybe it's because i still, and always will, love newsies.
and to be perfectly honest, there's no real guarentee that this site will make it. i've finished all of two sites in my whole career of HTML, out of...five? seven? i have no idea what the count is. but all i know is, this was my first website, and if i leave it for good, i want it to be good. i feel like... i feel like i owe it to newsies. newsies was such a big part of my life that left such a big impact, that i feel i need to leave some kind of a mark, no matter how small. i'm the kind of person that needs closure. and if this is how i get it, so be it.

when you came to this site, i bet you didn't expect to get an essay, did you? well, i'm sorry for that. but keep looking back. if nothing else, i'll try to keep updating this page somewhat regularly.

cheese, love, and goo,
