january 98 - my parents got the internet on their pentium 1 computer. i surfed a lot in my spare time as i had never been online before. within a few months that got boring so i decided to make my own site. i started off making a music site, that didn't make any money but it was fun and nice to hear feedback about it.

then i got an email from one of my free webhosts about how he was making so much money off adult check with porn sites. i didn't think too much of it but after i quit my shitty factory job i decided to give it a try. celeb sites were some of my favorite sites to check out back then so i decided to start one of my own that summer. it flopped because i didn't know what the hell was doing (making thumbs out of full sized pics by using the width, height shit) ect. well i didn't give up and tried again on better hosting after gaining some more know how. well this time it succeeded and even tho all i intended to do was make enough money to pay my car insurance i ended up making more than my parents combinded in 1999.

i moved out that year and have been doing it full time ever since. 6 years this month.
