Nearly two months without an update. I'll try and be better with this, but with life being a pain in the neck, I haven't had much time to do any work online. Whenever I do have free time, I've been trying to work at being a better goalie in Hockey Zone on Continuum. It's lame, but I've been trying to get into the league for a long time. Anyway, newsletter shouldn't be as neglected as it was, so no worries. Anyway, there is ONE reason and ONE reason only for this update. Layout preview. It isn't much, but let me tell you this: IT'S AWESOME! I love it, and every staffer seems to as well. o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o -o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o- Latest Starmen.Net News -o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o- o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o -------------------------------------------------- LAYOUT PREVIEW -------------------------------------------------- Here you are. I have been pushing reid for some sort of a preview, and you should be pleasently surprised. It's very small, but it should hold you off. Maybe if I can give reid proof that you care about the site ... (e-mail me!) he'll post a bigger preview! Without further ado, here it is! http://starmen.net/misc/tinyprev.png Like the Starman?

Thats a rockin place. I'm a fan of the big city. I'd probably dress up like a punk rocker from the 80's and try to hit people up for money. I would probably hang out in the north side of the city. And call people G. Carpainter - Happy Happy Village so I can hang out with my fellow Happy Happyists. MichaelTheEBGuru - I've always wondered that. But I think I'd get hitched and settle down in, Twoson. It just has the nicest suburban feel. Skulryk - I have no idea. Maybe Onett, since they have an arcade. PsychicKid - Fourside, because I LOVE the city. There's always so much to do in big cities. ROBJPUB - Fourside cause it's the closest to New york -- or twoson, cause it's pretty Or Threed, but only if I can CONTROL THE ZOMBIES WITH MY POWERS, MAKING THEM MY ETERNAL SLAVES OF (darn)NATION. BlueAntoid - Summers, I think. I'm all about the ladies, museums, and weird trippy cake. Jonk - Onett because there are woods to explore, mountains to go ontop of, and a ocean to look at. SaotomeRanma - Twoson, for its simplicity, and the Peaceful Rest Valley so close by. atticus - Onett, cause they seem to have the best places to live and i did buy that little house on the water after all. Jamie_M - Fourside for sure, cause its big and it has awesome music. o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o -o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o- Carpainter's Rant -o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o- o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o Here is a part of my last newsletter, that I thought was amusing: --- FLASHBACK --- This Tuesday is wonderful for a couple of reasons. 1.) First Basketball game. 2.) Getting stitches out. It's also sucky, for a few more reasons. 1.) Second day of school. 2.) Exams all day. 3.) Stitches removed could hurt. 4.) Portfolios due, yet to start. --- FLASHBACK --- Well, let's see. It is a Tuesday now, and tonight was our last Basketball game of the year. I had a huge night, as we won our 'Zone' final by a two-point margin. I went to the foul line with less than a minute left, and sunk both to give us a four point lead. In other words, we didn't have to play defense on the ensuing play. Because of my playing, I may get to represent my team at the upcoming 'AA' All-Star game, where all AA teams in Manitoba get to send a few players to play. It's going to be fun! (Assuming I get to go.) The stitches are gone, and I still have pain in the side of my head. Oh well. Can't win them all in the game of life, I say! Now, school has been awesome this semester. I changed a few classes, and now I'm in 'Physics'. It's challenging, requires a lot of homework, but I'm enjoying it. This class alone has almost made "Internet life" non-existant. We've had so much homework lately, that I've been doing nothing but. Oh well. School is always a good thing. The exams didn't go that badly. I passed every one, and I got every credit. Yes, even Chemistry. You have to love how I studied EVERY thing that WAS NOT on the exam, and still pulled off a 52. Best of All-Time, man! Stitches still hurt. Blah. And Portfolios? Well, I completed each one, and got every credit. Even though I didn't get too high marks, each teacher was proud of me for actually doing something, and actually said how much of a refreshing change it was to read my work. I loved the comments, and was proud of myself for staying on task. I actually have a portfolio due Wednesday, and have a lot of it done, so I don't have to do that much work on it. This is good, as with Basketball provincials being this weekend, and the drama production being next week, I don't have a lot of time for homework. Oh, did I mention drama production? Being the sarcastic idiot that I am, I was cast into the starring role in the school play. In other words, I'm an act-or. Yes. Have to recognize. I was also cast in another school play to be put on the same night, and I haven't given it as much attention as I should have. I have 117 lines in the main play, and maybe 11 in the second. Not a lot to learn, but the main play is so much more fun. For people who I _have_ been able to keep in touch with should know about the other 3 plays I'm in. Well, we performed the one play on Saturday and Sunday, and let's just say that I stole the show with my comments. The next play is in April, after the school drama next Monday. SO MUCH TIME! (Sarcasm.) Basketball went well this year, as I have really improved, and we go into provincials ranked 5th overall. We could do well. It all depends. Another thing that is consuming my life, is the only thing other than basketball that I am allowing myself to do. With all the homework, I have to allow some sort of 'fun-time', and that is Continuum. I play 'goalie' in SSCX Hockey Zone, and I want to win the 0ski Trophy someday for best Goalie in the RSHL. Someday ... maybe ... There you have it. School, drama, school, goalie, basketball, school, and the other things that have kept me off the Internet. Notice how work isn't up there? I should probably start making money again. How sweet it was. So when basketball is over, I'll have time for the Internet and work, and hopefully newsletter will ... well, not suck. Then again, I'm never really satisfied with my work. Oh well. I hope you enjoyed this long rant. A lot of work went into it, and I felt you guys deserved something. Anything at all. Stay tuned, folks. Starmen.Net is going to rock. The layout is SO worth the wait. -TRR :)
