While cleaning out my “My Documents” folder in Windows today, I stumbled upon a poem. I don’t know when it was written as the date associated with the file properties is inaccurate. So without further ado here is my poem simple titled, “FuncoLand”:

“Funcoland”

There is a place I work
It is a place I play
Its name is in multi-colored letters
People come here for
Games
Pokémon Crap
And to bother me
I sit in a chair and
Run my fingers through my hair
And breathe artifical air
My boss Wooza is from the Bronx
And he’s lived a life of hard knocks
We sell cleaners and such
And get annoyed very much
I love this place
This place of employment
I would go there everyday cause
It gives me much enjoyment

Crystal made her first turkey yesterday for Thanksgiving. It came out really great!

I doubt any of you that read my blog still even recall what I am about to reminisce about. Shortly after I started SeanPiotrowski.net in its current form of a blog, two friends of mine, Greg Coleman & Ryan Christie embarked on their own blog journey. Their blog was called TheWard. It was a professionally coded, constantly updated, and it was the central hub of a blogging community that in my opinion has never been duplicated. The posts were hilarious, controversial, & they often featured the graphical talents of Greg Coleman. The height of this Universe was in the years 2002 and 2003. There were a lot of memories made and I always felt that TheWard deserved to be archived and preserved for its accomplishments. However TheWard never got its shrine and it all but faded into obscurity…

Today, Greg and I were chatting on Google Talk and he asked me if I ever heard of Archive.org. Of course I had! He just discovered it. During our conversation I went and plugged in the old URL: www.theward.net Greg had already beaten me to this idea as he had told me he spent a considerable amount of time with it yesterday. As I began clicking through I realized that they had captured a sizable chunk of what TheWard was all about, especially during its most important years. Like catching up with an old friend, I was reminded of things I had completely forgotten about. It was a wonderful experience for me.

Crystal & I went to Disneyland back in September. It was awesome. Here are some photos from that trip.
