alright, i'll be blunt.

this site is just a ridiculous cover-up for all of my other sites. i was tired of my name being searched for in search engines and coming up with nonsense, so this is something for google to chew on and for sneaky employers and government spooks to gaze upon and think that this is my sole project. whatever.

i'm evil, i'll kill you with the same technicolor hotdog that's found in my valentine card to everyone at pancake.html

That's it. Finals are over. I got it done much earlier than many, got wished a merry christmas from my TA and walked down the snowy sidewalk with a grin on my face. Now I drink Nyquil and sleep forever. Bye bye.

I just took a break from the books and finished off my sleep requirements with an hour and a half nap. i woke up and remembered the tail end of a dream and tried to suck it out of my subconcious, so i remembered perhaps the last 4%, but don't worry, this is good enough. For some reason I had escaped whatever I was doing to a Super K store (i haven't been in one of these for a long time). Every customer is walking away from the clearance section with amazing deals. a complete pink futon for like $5, big huge palm trees for nothing at all. gigantic things at under 10 dollars. so naturally, i run right over to see what i can find. and what do i find? these big, deluxe, plastic guns in these barbie boxes. only the boxes don't say barbie. they say Microsoft. I look at the product name, and it's FTP Server! So I try to poke my finger through the cellofane to press the shiny red button that will play the sound of the gun like all the other kids, but it makes some generic musical note that's not really a gun noise. the bottom line here is that, not only does microsoft not know how to make toys or ftp servers, but k-mart clearance won't even sell them. ok that's it, then i got sucked out of the dream hole to reality where i have to go back to studying math. later.

so i wake up this morning at around 5. i stare straight ahead. i have these weird dreams that i'm running through an odd neighborhood of pseudo-expensive houses and me trying to go through all of them without anyone noticing. so i go through one and this alarm goes off "SECTOR 4|/_354:5! WARNING: TWO CANINE UNITS." and these two dogs run up to me, but i'm close enough to the door that i pretend to knock on it some and then openit and pretend i'm coming in instead of escaping. "uh, anyone, help? yes. would you be interested in investing $)F?E:::?" (this is the only thing i can come up with.) "No, sir!" the lady says, so i ask them for directions and they tell me about their house, which looks like odd combinations of wood. so the man takes the pipe out of his mouth and says "Yes, yes. The wood is composed of the wooden boxes of all of our ancestors, as you can see from the varying texture. Yes. Ages fine! Hah, built it myself." needless to say i'm not going to really ask, so i got the heck out of there.

and from there i realized it was around seven a.m. and i had a day of studying ahead for my final tomorrow. so i got up. i didn't want to face the brightness of the hallway lights, so i wore sunglasses and stumbled around. when i returned, i turned on the computer and spilled a cup of a & w creme soda rather sloppily in my tired sunglassed state. no problem. towels and such. so here i am. i refuse to study unless i get some decent breakfast this morning. i don't care where i have to walk.

mornings are so weird.

hi. my name is mark. a.k.a. markus, much like the /~directory/ implies.
i've been on 68k for a few years, and for a couple of them this site has remained stagnant, so i decided to feed through the archvies of it's almost lifeless body and pump some flash into its veigns to give it some life. and thus, here it is.

i've changed a lot since i've first been on 68k, as you can see if you look through all the ancient photos. i'm attending to purdue now, department of computer graphics in the school of technology. it was a nice move, believe me. if you know anything about me, you bundle the characteristics of entrepeneurism, computers, and music with my name, so i might as well ramble a bit about what's going on in each. well, for starters, i'm not really making any on-the-side cash with my tech skills. not right now. i am, however, using them more creatively than ever. i was browsing through purdue clubs, and somehow stumbled across pugg, and i'm now their proud webmaster. it's a very keen group with some interesting opportunities. i've also got some misc artsites up, but i'd like those to remain hidden. ;) there are no musical ventures aside from me making remixes of "big bad roy", and various Castlevania stuff (see nes heaven, which is old but useful). overall i'd say i'm having a decent experience here. it's all about odd hours, unusual workloads, and eating maruchan ramen.

if you're reading this, gimme a shout out.
until next time.
