I finally got around to updating. I always sit on the main page and say to myself "I need to update" but then I realize there is so much I need to update with that I just say, "I don't have time to write all that" and put it off.

Recently this entire site was deleted, as some of you may have heard from my bantering on Facebook and AIM. Facebook by the way has sucked away all my internet time that I could have been using to update this site.

The site is back up now, I managed to recover about 80% of everything, but the Art section is still down. I managed to recover all the most important stuff, so that's what's important. I still have all the artwork backed up and uploaded on the server, just haven't had time to set up the art gallery software.

I took that as a message from the Ancients, that, I must continue to update once again.

Speaking of sites being shut down, Geocities is shutting down on October 26 2009. Yes that's right. Geocities is finally disappearing. I think they finally realized that offering only 15 mb of webspace and 4 mb of bandwidth per hour is a pretty retarded strategy in the year 2009. That means that our song "HTTPWWWDOTGEOCITIESDOTCOMSLASHRIAFUNK " will no longer reference an actual site because Geocities will be gone.

So, on October 26 2009, http://www.geocities.com/riafunk will no longer exist.

But you will still be able to see the site intact, by visiting http://www.riafunk.com/Classic/ or checking out our Links Section.

Until my next update, here is a message that Sorpaculips asked me to tell everyone after last year's Olympics in Beijing, where Sorpaculips challenged Yao Ming to a one-on-one basketball match:

"I slam dunked Yao Ming."

The game ended after 1 point because every time Sorpaculips scores a slam dunk, lightning bolts shoot from out of his brain, and every score he makes is a slam dunk. So this time, everyone including Yao Ming and excluding Mandangar, Sorpaculips's son, were stricken with 10th degree burns from the subsequent lightning bolts that came out of Sorpaculips's brain when he scored the slam dunk.

And I think that in Sorpaculips's message, he's referring to what happened after he scored the slam dunk. As Yao Ming lay severely burned and squirming on the floor, cursing in Chinese-American English, Sorpaculips picked him up and slam dunked him. After he slam dunked him, more lightning bolts came out of his brain.

What a match-up.
