Just Breathe..
Jan 3rd
Jeebus, it has been a busy, busy last two weeks! Work has been absolutely hell-acious with the Holidays (Gotta love Retail during the Holiday season) — I am hoping it will finally start to calm down now that the major Holidays are over. (And not a moment too soon!) I’ve been working 55, almost 60-hour weeks lately — so I am more than ready to resume “calm” days.
Happy New Year Everyone! – Welcome to 2010 – I hope everyone has a great 2010!
Now, onto Life – I am absolutely in LOVE with Lady GaGa and her new video, Bad Romance. If you have not checked it out yet; you had better do so because i said so! I will even be so nice to add the video to this post! See below:
I am so mad that we missed her tour to Dallas when the whole Kanye thing went down and caused cancellations. ”Lady Gaga, next time you come to Dallas; Aaron and I are coming to see you — we love you!!” -Love Aaron&Austin Monsters
I will try to update again this week now that things should have finally calmed down. (Let’s hope – cross your fingers!)
P.S. Anyone looked at the Links page lately? I’ve removed the obviously bad links, but am now left with few – if anyone would like to exchange links; please let me know! 
Time for some updates about ME! :)
Dec 13th
Well it’s been a while since I have posted any “personal” updates. Let’s give this one another shot.
On November 23rd, I finally got promoted to the position I had been trying for so long to reach. I’m now the Store Manager of a ‘Rock the Block’ BLOCKBUSTER Media store. (A goal I had been trying to reach for at least 5 years!) And coincidentally enough, my store is located in the city where I grew up. Also, while I’m blabbing about my store – I will even say that my store looks better than most BLOCKBUSTER stores–even the new ones! The previous Store Manager at my store ran a very organized, clean and trained staff and store. (I love her! Our management techniques are so similar that the transition was very smooth) So needless to say; that will occupy a lot of my time..
Sliding in second for taking my time is my Internet Relay Chat (IRC) network, IRC4Fun. I’m still actively using it and maintaining it. There have been a few improvements and wins for the network lately; such as new features, a Win in the Spam Fight for our network, a Win in the Drone Fight for our network, etc. I have updated Defender (our network protection/abuse prevention service) to handle many more situations and battles for our staff/network. I will continue to update Defender to combat network annoyances as I just fucking LOVE it. I am still a nerd at heart – I love to code.
I hope everyone likes the updates to this site! I’m still making tweaks here and there and fixing things that were broken during the update. If you see any bugs/etc that linger for a while (as if I am just not noticing them) please contact me. You can also contact me if you have any ideas for the site (or just want to). :)

Site Update
Dec 12th
And as you can see I am still here. I’ve updated the site — it’s been way too long with the same stale look. I hope you all enjoy the fresh new look!
I’m looking into adding more functionality to the site as well in the coming weeks. Stay tuned!
I’m still here!
Jan 22nd
Wow! It’s been a while! Does anybody still read this? Anywho – where do I start this time?
Things have been pretty good lately. I still love my job at BLOCKBUSTER (maybe too much.) We’re a new (remodeled) BLOCKBUSTER – and the store is just awesome! I got promoted to Assistant Store Manager a while back (and forgot to post about it). I couldn’t be happier.
Outside of BLOCKBUSTER, my life has been relatively quiet. I suppose that in some instances I keep it that way (subconsciously?)..
Anyways; as I think about the past issues/thing’s I’ve gone through that made me who I am — I will begin posting more entries and more content. (I know, I know: I’ve been saying this for a while now. Rest assured that you can check back periodically and see the updates for yourself and know I’m serious this time.)
TTFN.

Updates: Hot-Linkers, siniStar7.COM and Life
May 17th
Let’s start with some updates…
First; as I have asked since I began putting my media online – PLEASE DO NOT HOTLINK TO IT! Until now; I’ve only been asking. Now you have no choice. This has become too big of an issue for me — I woke up this morning and found the site had been taken offline due to Bandwith consumption. So I have activated a server-side HotLink protection system. If you have hotlinked to any of my content; it will show up as non-existant. It’s quite upsetting that I’ve had to activate HotLink protection — as I used my images on other websites (that was authorized) which can no longer be done. It’s such a shame when a few people ruin things for everyone.
Secondly; I’m still here. I realize that I’ve not posted much since I began working again.. This isnt intentional, but must be fixed none the less. I will begin posting on here more often. I’m contemplating and playing with new ideas for the site; maybe some new media. Stay tuned! In the meantime; don’t forget about my newest project: IRC4Fun (You can usually always find me online there)
Lastly; life is over-all going well. I’m feeling happier than I’ve been in a while – even with people trying to bring me down. I will post more about life probably later this evening or tomorrow. (Stay tuned for that too!)
That is all for now

What is new with me? Let’s go!
Jan 10th
So first, got my job back at BLOCKBUSTER. Thank god for that, but I (shamefully) had to start at the very bottom all over again. After leaving BLOCKBUSTER for my previous job that was supposedly better, it turned out to be worse and I lost all I had with BLOCKBUSTER and my Management title/status. However, I have been given the 4-Star CSR position, that is essentially a CSR (Bottom rank employee) that can morph into a Manager when necessary (and it bumps my pay $0.60 while I am “Manager’d”).
So, am going to try to work my way back up to where I was — but admittedly, that will take a long time (if it happends at all). In the meantime; is time to scrimp and save and live uncomfortably poor. God life is fun. Still, I am glad to be back there.. I am so good at my job there – and even after being gone about 10 months; everything came back to me instantly upon coming back. I didnt even really need training. I love the feeling of being able to do the job with my eyes closed & hands tied behind my back. So I am just overly thrilled to be back (though i never thought I would say those words).
Next, I rented some movies at work; one being “Killer Drag Queens on Dope” which was quite amusing. It stars Alexis Arquette (from Surreal Life, etc). I really find it quite amusing and am tempted to buy it. Not sure if its the BLOCKBUSTER employee purchasing addiction, or if the movie just gives me satisfaction with my current life situations. (Being dumped for the 3rd or 4th time now by the same person — that is next)
And finally; was dumped again by the same guy for the 3rd or 4th time. Apparently this time because “I get attached too quickly”. This after he sends me an e-mail saying that he realized he ran off on me several occasions before but says he really wants to make it work because I’m a great guy.” Then he also proceeds to tell me that we have nothing in common (excuse me? WTF?!! BULLSHIT, but if YOU believe it – GREAT!) and that I’m slutty. HELL-FUCKING-O; I have only been with 5 guys in my life. Most of the people I know cant count on one fucking hand how many people they’ve fucked! I hadnt dated anyone for over a year before you and you call ME a slut?! FUCK YOU.
Sorry, obviously some of those words are meant for him. I doubt he will read this; but still — I need to vent it before I go on a rampage.
All of this bullshit has inspired me to write down some of the things in life that have always left a mark on me and shaped me into who i am and therefor explain my oddities. People dont understand me, and they likely never will; but at least I can vent and possibly help others that have (or are) going through some of these good/bad/tramatic things..
Anyways, that is all for now – I hope everyone is having a great night.
Marilyn Manson wallpaper ready for downloads!
Dec 27th
Hey everyone! I’m still actively here and working on my newest project: IRC4Fun
However, its not right to ignore my other projects; so I have added a new wallpaper to the collection for download. This wallpaper features Marilyn Manson from the “Mechanical Animals” era and the music video ‘I Don’t Like the Drugs [But the Drugs like Me]‘. I actually made this wallpaper like 2 years ago, but never posted it for some reason. So here goes!
