We are up and running.
So after 4 days of the free hosting of my site, the guy decided that his "Server" tell him No to Free Hosting. What a fucktard.
So I'm looking for a new host for the site, it will probable be back in the same format as the last one, just without the old posts.
Thanks again Asshole.
Till then, the Saga continues here.....
After four months I'm calling it quits on The Eli Experience. This site will stay up as an achive of events only. No more updates will probably be coming to this site.
Why am I doing this? Server issues mainly. I'm tierd of the slowness and the downtime. Does this mean an end to Darien's blogging experience? No way. I'm just changing where you can access it.
I have been allowed to set up my blog on a new site with a new template, faster server (so far), 99% uptime, message boards and room to expand and to place downloads on with ease.
Where can you find this new beauty? Well I had the link posted in the "Warning section" where a couple of people noticed. But now the official link is:
http://elitehost.ath.cx/commoncold
Now that is a hard link to remember and I have addressed that issue. I'm looking into puchasing a domain name. Vote for your favourite on the new site. (Post should be up withen 10-15 minutes of this post.
So head over to the Eli Experience 3.0. My cure for the common cold ;)
Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes.....
Well Easter is over. Happy Easter to all (I know it's a little late but you know me and the time I get to update this P.O.S). I'm currently on a bus going back to the wonderful city of North Bay. I've come to realise a couple of things during this holiday.
1. Sudbury doesn't know how to party.
Now I know that an excuse can be that I live on residence and therefor have learned how to party but not in this case. I went to a house party in Garson and man did it blow. First off, when I entered the house with my friends, the hostess announced she 'didn't expect this many people' (there was maybe a total of 12 at most) and that we were to head downstairs. Naturally I followed the rule and me and my friend's went downstairs. Then the hostess went back upstairs to hang with the rest of the people there. She came down 15 minutes later to tell us not to break anything and we could 'watch TV if we wanted' Not a really kickass party to 'watch TV'. Anyways, after about half an hour of us being there, finally everyone came down and they put on some music. The first song or two were ok then they started playing some really bad crap. When you have a party, you want to put on music you want to dance to. Spice Girls, Aqua, Disney and other pop songs of the 90's doesn't make a good music set. Of course some people will play this kind of stuff out of good fun and everything but for every song that you play? No.
I also learned at this party that 'preppy' is in. The hostess was good looking. I'm not going to lie. She probably is the kind of girl who gets looks all the time walking down the street and she knows this. When you are at a 'house party' as she called it, you DO NOT wear a preppy/skimpy pink top with GLITTER on your back. Who, at the age of 18/19, still wears glitter on their back while going to a house party? I thought we lost that at the age of 14 people. Not cool at all.
So the party was a bust.
2. Retarded people, though nice and respectable, can be annoying.
Currently on the bus ride home right now, I have a mentaly handicapped person sitting in front of me. I don't hate the handicapped and I try not to be mean to them. This girl in front of me though keeps mumbling to herself and I think has eaten all of the food in her bag already and we haven't even left Sudbury yet. I have also watched her throw something at a poor women who is fast asleep in another seat. UPDATE: I have decyphered some of what she was saying and the words I made out were "Someone is going to get it. That person is going to get it". A little creepy if you ask me. I feel bad for this women for the sake that she is handicapped and everything but it's a little creepy what she is saying.
3. My girlfriend is irreplaceable
With the time I spent with my girlfriend over the weekend, I have realised that she is the most amazing women in my life. It's wierd having someone who does everything almost perfectly. A women who knows what you want or how to make you happy without you having to say anything. The time we spend together is some of the best time I have. She makes me smile constantly. I would love to talk more about how she makes me feel but I'm going to be honest here in saying that words simply cannot express how I feel about her.
4. New Site NEEDED
I think this site isn't getting enough traffic as it could for a couple of reasons. For one, I have very little flexability on managing it due to what the server allows me to do. I could update a lot more and provide more files and information also if the site ran fast enough. Sadly the server I am on is being bogged down and is slowly dieing in my eyes. So it is my goal to migrate this site to a new one with a much more colourful look and a much cleaner yet more informational look. The new server will also sport a message board if possible, a download database of files and possibly a 'shoutbox' (it's like a chat line with delay). Let's hope everyuthing goes to plan and I can get the new site up by May-ish at the latest.
Till next time though. I'm currently entering Markstay and I need some form of entertainment other then writting for the next hour or so.
Talk to you guys when I get to North Bay.

Do I still want to skateboard?
Happy 2 Months for me and my girlfriend. Strong as ever.
I'm not a fan of scream-o music. I'm also not a fan of bands that my sister has recommended me. This song though in particular is one I personally enjoy.
If you get the chance, download (legally of course *coughcough* the song Jet Black New Year by Thursday).
Out of the top three songs that I "cannot get out of my freakin' head", this would have to be number 2 on the list.
Of course number one would have to sadly be "Prince Ali" from Alladin (now I know one of those words must be spelt wrong but I'm tierd).
Well it just so happens that my journal has been mentioned on one of Canadore's radio station student's "Show Page" (a toungue twister I'd say) as the "What I'm currently reading". Apon talking to this person she has said that she reads my page every day and she just can't get enough.
So I guess I'm getting free publicity on this one. That's kinda cool. So if you are coming here from there, send me an email at toofarnorth@gmail.com if you have any suggestions or want to know anything about me, just send me an email and I can explain everything.
This kind of changes a bit of what I'm allowed to do around here. If I want to keep this free publicity, I need to update more often and I need to cut down on the coarse language. *sigh*. The things I do for this country.
So thank you for mentioning me on your site. Post your link here so when I re-do my site design again (this time with GRAPHICS!), I will have a links page with your site linking back as an affiliate.
So I went to the bar tonight for a dinner and a slide show and as some of you might have seen, my nickname was "Supper by Myself". I put that there cause I was supposed to be picked up by my friends to head to the bar but they never came and got me.
Well I got to the bar and I tried to find where they were and anyone I knew. It seemed like almost every table had to call me over to say Hi to me. Now in general, I will call people over and just stand when I shake their hand or something like that but these people would stand up, walk halfway across the bar just to shake my hand and ask me how I was.
Then after dinner, I got to go up and try to win a PS2. Half the crowd was cheering me on to win it. Sadly I lost but it was a neat feeling to have. This isn't the first night that something like this has happened but it's interesting how almost everyone knows who I am and instead of 'finding an empty seat alone' that I used to do back in High School and shit, instead it's 'picking a seat with who I want'.
Tis a good night.
Well start off with the most important thing I have done in a while;
I said the "L" word.
The problem with this though is that it was so hard to say this time. Like I didn't want to fuck things up with saying it or anything. And when I said it, it felt good.
But on another topic that has a direct affect on everyone is the fact that, for the first time ever, I got in trouble with the police.
Thanks to some stupid idea on my end, I decided to steal some signs for a vote going on. All we did this time was take two of them down but we were caught by people watching for this kind of thing.
So ironically, they pulled us into security, called the cops, gave us shit but ended up dropping charges and everything because we were so compliant and we understood what we did was wrong. There was threats of jailtime and fines going around plus being kicked out of our courses and residence.
No more stupid pranks for me for a while.
SOrry for the lack of updates. I have been busy and this site is slow. Tonight I have the energy is full though.
You read it here first. There is a warrent out for Michael Jackson's arrest.

UPDATE: The judge is giving him one hour to get to the court room before it is issued.
Well after a false victory (the theme switching worked in Firefox, yet not Internet Explorer (which I rarely use)), I have finally fixed a small bug (I put Alternative instead of Alternate) and the theme changing should work.
I have a little bit more editing to the site to do and a couple of other bugs to fix but after that, it's going to be all editing on my other server for the themes. I won't have to touch the blog theme almost ever again to change the colour scheme.
What other colour scheme's would you like to see put in?
New theme is up and running. There is still some bugs that I am working on fixing but they are being worked out in a happy matter.
As you may notice, on the side there are alternative themes. You can click on them and change the colour of the site....when it works. I'm driving myself nuts figuring out and CSS and mingling them together like this.
Well...wish me luck.
UPDATE: IT FUCKING WORKS! I will take out the {Down} Tag tomorrow and upload more themes. It's 1:30 now and I'm tierd.
Goodnight.
Everyone knows that occasionally I can be the kind of guy to 'pretend being gay' to get some laughs. I'm a humour guy. I'm pretty sure I'm straight. I have a girlfriend and I have only dated women. Of course I'm in college so there has been some thought about what I am and so forth but I'm straight. I know this.
My old friend Dave doesn't think so. He thinks I'm more gay then straight.
But putting the facts together, I have never ran around the house naked or close to it with other people in it (or without). Both him and his roommate have. These is more evidence that Dave and his new 'posse' are more gay then me.
To start off, his 'guild partner' (Dave is a frequent Worlds of Warcraft player. That is all he does) Derek comes into class with Dave and sits down in his usual seat. All of a sudden, Dave starts nudging him to tell everyone a story of his dream he had. So Derek starts off by saying he was taking a shower and getting all clean and the shower went 'nuts'. A usual wierd dream. Then he goes on to say "All of a sudden, a guy comes into the shower and starts to wash my hair. That guy is Darien".
Ok so let me get this straight. A guy....just had a dream....about me getting into the shower with him....and washing his hair. I quickly stated that the dream was 'pretty gay'. Dave then turns to me and says "You do SO much gayer stuff then that". Like what Dave? I joke about it? Maybe a joking touch or two? Nowhere really sexual. Maybe on the leg or the chest. A small jokingly touch outbeats a homoerotic dream about someone's hair getting washed by me?
Ok...I'll let that one slide. I'll move on with my day and just act like I'm gayer then that even though he keeps bringing it up every 10 minutes.
I go to English and me and my buddy Craig go back to our laptop lab to see if anyone is left there. There was Dave packing up from a good session of WoW (Worlds of Warcraft). Then I notice something wrong. The shirt he is wearing looks vagually familiar. Actually it looks like a shirt I was looking for.
Oh wait...that IS one of my shirts. I approached Dave with the fact that he is wearing my clothing and I would like it back. He responded with "Yeah you left it at my house so I decided to wear it".
He's wearing my fucking clothes. The guy who is claiming I'm gay, finds one of my shirts that I left at his house and instead of going "Darien you left one of your shirts here" or "Darien can I borrow/keep this shirt", instead says "This is Darien's shirt. I'm just going to wear it around. Fuck telling him."
I love asshole friends. Let's keep this trend up. Call me gay then wear my clothes. Call me gay cause I "flirt" with only you and the guys for fun yet someone has a shower fantasy about me. Fuck you too buddy.
Tuesday. Known for it's Tequila Tuesday's. Now I will never forget it as the day I almost beat the shit out of a girl.
Everyone knows I can't hit a girl. I have morals. I have decency.
Well this almost made me beat the shit out of someone. I was getting ready for bexd and the bitch decided to come to my door and knock for me. I let them know that I'm tierd and I want to go to sleep. I then hear some really bad news.
"Brandon is sick and he needs to go to the hospital. We need to use your phone."
Holy Shit. What do you do? Your roommate is sick and probably passed out without being able to wake him up. What the fuck do you do?
I naturally opened the door and said "K you can use the phone"
"Oh we were just joking".
JOKING?! What the fuck?! I know I have done some pretty mean jokes before but never about someone's health. Then they had the urge to ask "What's wrong? Why are you in a bad mood? Why are you being a grouch?"
I hate people sometimes.
There will be an update placed here tonight.
NgOs_WiLL: how many feminists does it take to change a lightbulb?
NgOs_WiLL: One to change it and fifteen to form a support group!
E30SupeR: it's a trick question - feminists can't change anything.
Proves that I still have some offending material in me.
Partying for 3 days straight.
Going to Sudbury for sister's b-day.
Message you guys again soon.
The day just did get worse. Blink-182, one of my favourite bands and the band to write the song me and my girlfriend had our first kiss too (Miss You) has broken up. Ironically, they just recently released a CD that was self-titled in an act to 'start fresh' and break off from the 'comedy punk' we were starting to get used too. This band has always been in the top 5 bands I have enjoyed. Every album that I could have bought, I did. I ended up finding a lot of unreleased songs and live songs on the internet also. They had the most space in my playlist.
There was an official notice on the website which read as follows:
Hiatus
2/22/2005 11:39:00 AM - by cgeorggin
"For over a decade, Blink-182 has toured, recorded and done non-stop promotion all while trying to balance relationships with family and friends.
To that end, the band has decided to go on an indefinite hiatus to spend some time enjoying the fruits of their labors with their loved ones. While there is no set plan for the band to begin working together again, no one knows what tomorrow may bring."
The one band who single handedly brought me and Tamara together has just split up. So at this moment, the one thing I can listen to which brought happiness to me is now gone. I would be holding my girlfriend at this moment but she is also not here. Today has turned into one of those 'Really Bad Days'.
Tomorrow has to be a good day. Please be a good day.
Well isn't this a way to end the night. I have been a little bit in a bad mood from today in general, then coming home to find no one in my house for another night. Which of course doesn't get on my good side because I miss my girlfriend dearly and I have had to cancel plans and hold off plans all week for them to come down 'unexpectedly'.
But that's not what I'm here to bitch about. I'm here to bitch about someone who decided to bitch at me tonight. It's not the first time either. This is the second time this person had started off our conversation with "I hope you are happy you have people coming to visit you". How the fuck am I supposed to feel now? After this I get "No one comes to see me". Both times. It was like "Whoa there....deja fucking vu here".
I'm sorry that this person doesn't have people coming to see them but why take it out on me. What can I do? "Ok no one come visit me cause this person is feeling lonely". That's what I feel like I need to do. This person makes me feel like I'm El Capitan Asshole of the GoFuckYourself Seas. Arrrr Matie! Join me on my quest to FUCK you over. Being persuasive is asking people to come visit me while you walk the plank into loneliness.
Seriously. I'm sorry I have to pick on this person but saying that they "Hope I'm happy" and not to "take granted for them coming to see me" isn't really my Cup O' Happiness. Then this person decides to tell ME that I'm wrong in taking offence. Oh I'm sorry. Offence not taken. Guiltiness aside here but I think you were right.
So in conclusion, today hasn't really turned out to be a good day and if everything continues like the stars have decided (HAHAHAH You actually I thought I was like that. Idiots), tomorrow probably won't be too much better. So expect another big FUCK YOU going out to someone tomorrow. That is of course if everything continues in the way it is going.
This is Eli saying "Gigadee Gigadee Gigadee DOO!"
Nope, day was not made.
Well some good news, from the sound of an email I recieved last night and the fact that Tamara is deciding not to go onto MSN (a ploy she was going to use to trick me into being confused about when she was coming), I would say the trip is still on.
Let's hope it's tonight. It would make my day.
...
w00t! I cna doo itt!11!
They made a movie about me? WITHOUT ASKING FOR THE RIGHTS! Time to sue.
This MUST explain why I haven't been laid
Now I can smell like I'm 'Cumming'(No Porn/Nudity or anything of that sort)
My First Car :D
If I was single, me and her would be doing it right now. Right in the play section(Rolls eyes in sarcastic matter)
It is now a waiting game till Tamara shows up at my house. I just want her....need her here to be with. No matter how good the day went, I'm still in a bad mood for some reason.
Maybe it was the un-expected wake up call and the demand that I come "now for dinner" and to "screw my afternoon sleep because [she] did not get [hers]". As much as I like dinner and all, demands that I have to come over NOW and that I'm not allowed to sleep because someone else didn't doesn't exactly make my day better.
But I should probably get dressed and attend this dinner so that I can come home afterwars, throw on some music and just play guitar.
Happy Valentine's Day everyone.
This post goes to the women of my dreams.
I miss you Tamara.
Eli Experience Version 2.01 is being tested right now. I'm looking at a new theme and I'm testing this out right now.
There is a couple of neat little things I'm doing with this one.
