11th While using a
friend's computer, I learned that
because your computer may not
recognize the
typefaces I've used on various pages
(including
the home page) of this website, you may not be
viewing it in the form it was created.
With
that in mind, I
apologize for any irregularities
in spacing or overall
appearance. And if you
are experiencing problems or
technical
difficulties of any kind with
the site, by all
means use the Contact Mil
page to let me know.

fantastic cover of Michael McDermott's
"Kung Fu Videos".

July 2001
8th I don't know
how many of you notice things like hit
counters on websites, but the one on
this site's
homepage indicates that
artistinsane.com has had
had over 700 visitors since it
debuted on the internet
in Feb. Thanks to all of you
for that, and I hope
it continues to be a place you want
to return again
and again!!!
That said, I would like to add that very few of you
have chosen to make it your own
by contributing
your thoughts on the site's
discussion board. So
let's make a positive addition
to the site together
by changing that today!
I've wiped out all the old
posts, leaving plenty of space
for you to voice your
opinions. So if there are
things you like about the
site, things you agree with, or
things that absolutely
drive you CRAZY...by all means
"Share The
Insanity" on the Discussion
Board now!!!
8th Congrats to
Dale Earnhardt, Jr. for turning
tragedy to triumph with his
commanding victory at
the Pepsi 400 in Daytona last
night!!!
(Yes, I am aware that it may seem crazy for one
who loves Shakespeare to also enjoy
Nascar
Winston Cup racing...but hey, this is
artistinsane!)
