Yes, the title of this post easily defines the substance of this website.

As much as I longed for an opportunity to have a voice online, to communicate and exchange ideas with my readers – it just wasn’t happening. Many of you abhor the fact that I’ve been absent, and for that I apologize.

The reality of the situation is that I’ve got better things to tend to. The web is still important to me…but this website – not so much. I contemplated on what I’d do with this site and the best thing for me to do is to let it go. It expires in early July anyway, thus if I put anymore time into this site it would be for nothing because I don’t have the means to re-new the domain, plus the person who purchased the domain has disappeared off of the face of the Earth. How this website is still online, I have no clue. I don’t know where Jenn went and she hasn’t replied to my e-mails.

I’ll be back…somewhere. New name, new place, new ideas. Blogging is inevitable for me, just at this point in time it’s not so “me.” The good bloggers have fled the scene or leaving just as I am. I kind have no point here….

But like I said, I’ll be back. Maybe sooner than you think. You just need to keep an open eye for the name Jay. I miss you all already!

“It was meant to be” — “Everything happens for a reason”

The two above quotes are two statements that I hear quite often. Sometimes, even I say them unknowingly, or at least I draw several conclusions and use those statements to justify certain actions or outcomes. But are they true?

Honestly, I think not. After having a brief conversation with a friend of mine, the conversation ended with him saying something about his life story and how the way he was feeling was “already planned” – or something along those lines. No, I’m in no way a religious person, but I am aware that some religions suggests that your life and the things that occur in it were pre-planned.

I can’t seem to find the logic in such statements. Hearing them, I immediately began to ask myself several questions like the ones below:

If a person kills someone, why do we punish him or her? – If such an event was “meant to be” then is the person who committed the brutal crime really responsible? Should he/she be punished?

Often times when you end a relationship with a loved one, when someone dies, or even when you fail a test. Does you really believe that the outcome of the situations happened for a reason? Continue Reading»

It’s been a long time since I’ve had to sit down and write to my hearts desire. Over a month actually. My twitter gang would be the first to know that I’ve been no stranger to the web – only to my website. While I had planned to come back sooner – my motivation and creativity would not agree with that notion. I had coded and implemented two layouts versus this one, but wasn’t satisfied. Truth be told, they were probably better than the one you’re viewing – but I wanted something simple..and this does the job.

Thisfiasco is not the same. There are no more resources, wordpress themes, or any other tangible visitor content. So many websites offer them, so me getting rid of them isn’t the end of anyone’s life. Besides, before tossing them, they haven’t been updated since 2008. Not like you’re missing anything that you couldn’t have gotten by now.

But anyway, what’s in store for the new and possibly improved TF? Continue Reading»

New Poem – Running Scared

It’s finally over! Semester number one went by fast, but the last few days were so long and sluggish. I worked super hard the past few days and my final exams I rate like a 6.5/10. Hopefully I come out with all A’s this semester. I won’t find those grades out until January. I don’t really want to talk about school anymore. Break has begun and I will use all this time to catch up on a social life, SLEEP and of course my baby ThisFiasco.

I began drafting designs for the new layout. I don’t want to have this Christmas theme up when January comes because Christmas will be done and over with. I consider next month MY month due to my birthday being January 21st. So for the new layout it’ll probably feature me~ In addition to a new layout, some stuff will no longer exist. I’m minimizing the site down a great deal because I realized that I haven’t really done anything since 2008 besides wordpress themes. So when 2010 comes, Thisfiasco will not be the same.

Christmas is in..6 days? I swear to you just yesterday was the beginning of 2009, and yet now it’s almost over. I’m about to be a senior and 17 years old. Life is just rushing by and coming so quick, it’s kind of scary. Continue Reading»
