Okay... so at this point and time you're wondering what this site is about, much less how the hell I came up with the name "Bluegoomba."
| Why does it take so long for the main page to load/why doesn't it load at all? |
I use Blogger to run the main page. Periodically the page doesn't load, although the main page banner and the other sections load perfectly well. There are bugs, I guess, in Blogger's programs. I don't know what the fuck is actually wrong with it or when it's going to be fixed.
| Why did you name your site "Bluegoomba?" Do blue Goombas™ even exist? |
I have no clue why I named my site Bluegoomba.com. It's origins and my intent in naming it escapes me. On a little side note, my site was originally called "The Guatemalan Insane Mediocrity" (aka GIM), but gim.anything was already taken.
And yes, there does exist Goombas™ of the blue variety. Check out "Paper Mario" for N64. Better yet, play the original "Mario Brothers" game. The Goombas™ in the underground levels are colored blue. You gotta kick it old skewl.
Yes, yes I do. I'm multi-talented as I am multi-jointed (ladies, you can't refuse a person like me in bed!).
Sure, but first you must embark in an arduous quest and decipher a series of clues... After you have completed these tasks, I will tell you no.
| What kind of site is this? |
Frankly, I'm as baffled as you are. I have no clue what category this site classifies under, or what demographic it's directed towards. All I can say is this site is just another tool I use to express myself creatively. Bluegoomba.com offers a happy mixture of art, writing, humor, and creativity...
Honestly, compared to college life, the internet can become a boring place. Nevertheless, this site allows me to express myself, a way for people to get to me and my friends better. It's a learning experience (albeit a perverted, drunken, sarcastic experience), and that is why I do this.
| How did you design this site? |
Well, I scripted this behemoth entirely with notepad/wordpad (yeah, no FrontPage or Dreamweaver for me). For the graphics, I've been using Adobe Photoshop 5.0 and its several filters/layer options. All the drawings, including circle/tech motif, were drawn by hand and scanned. I'm a fucking Renaissance man.
| When did you make this site? |
Not sure... time is fleeting. Actually I began designing web pages around 1997-1998, so go figure the math.
| Every time I look at your site, it appears fucked up. What the hell, dude? |
A good chunk of this page is meant to be looked at a certain way, and I'd appreciate it if you were to have the correct specifications. If you don't have the right settings, that's fine. It's not like the page is absolutely unmanageable, but your experience wouldn't be as cool... Still, here's a list of the system requirements:
A pretty fast modem... my page is psycho on graphics.
If you love me, PLEASE use a 1024x768 screen resolution. I work with a 1024x768 screen so if you have that, the better this site will look.
This is an art site (I think, at least a part of it is)... have as many colors as you can possibly have. Don't have many? Steal them.
Use IE 4.0 or higher when viewing this site. I hate Netscape (javascript or frames don't appear correctly) and AOL just makes my artwork look like someone vomited all over it.
You need javascript and frame-support. I abuse javascript and frames. Live with it.
If something is too dark to see or read, adjust the brightness/contrast.
Freaks, and a whole lot of them. Seriously, however, a large portion of this site deals with my personal life. Believe it or not, I do have friends. A few of them, those who I deemed worthy, write on the site. To learn more about me or the other writers, take a gander at the the profiles.
| Those drawings of those people on your banners are hot. Can I marry them? |
Nah, but feel free to post it as your wallpaper... Those drawings aren't modelled after specific people, but rather straight from my imagination. Furthermore, they are quick sketches I drew in 30 minutes or so. Not professional work or anything...
| I think you're hot. How can I contact you? |
Aw, thanks... just check out the "ego" menu on the bottom right. I'd really appreciate some feedback or just a "hello." I don't bite much, and even if I do it's because I love you.
| Can I leave a drunken voicemail message? |
Sure, if I know you well enough (read: "You are not a raving psychopathic stranger") and you ask, I'll email you my voicemail number. Of course, if you listen to a specific voicemail that my friend left, you can probably find my voicemail number. But remember, call after 9pm; I have free nights and weekends! Har har har...
| Can we trade links or cam images? |
Sure, why the hell not? Just e-mail me. I am extraordinarily slow when it comes to emails, so if I don't respond don't get offended. Instead, get persistent and email me again. Also keep in mind that I feel links are a lot easier to exchange than cam images...
| Can I write for the site? |
Shit man, you ask too much. The writers on my site are incredibly funny and witty people (or have pleaded with me to write for my site, and out of pity I let them), and I'm very selective. I intend to create a master race of sharp, humorous college students with a penchant for sex and alcohol consumption.
