Hey all I'm still here! - June 18th, 2012
No worries, this isn't the official website I'm as usual slowly working on it. I'm using Angelfire as my pit stop before unleashing the new website...which is a long ways away from being done. Really I wish I had all the time in the world to build a fun and super cool website, but unfortunately I'm caught up in a currently dead end job consisting of 12 hour night shifts to help me stay afloat for the moment in this portion of my life before I can make the next step towards success. After all, we all start from the bottom...or most of us do, right? But I digress.
By the way my name is Scott, I've been called BoWmEn since the 6th grade for basic uninteresting reasons just a nickname that stuck really. For the longest time I've wanted to recreate my personal website. Something professional looking, but not like corporate; I just want to make it presentable while envoking the fun portion of everything I like, and for those that know me, know I have an endless amount of fun hobbies. But before I dive into that, let me take everyone on a brief history of BoWmEn.cjb.net.
In 1998 I started building fun websites. The first being a Pokemon one I named PokePlanet on Homestead...when it was free. A bigger better website ended up literally stealing the name from my site and trademarking it as their own. Really i shrugged my shoulders and moved on rather then fight it. Homestead stopped becoming free anyway, and I felt it was time for me to explore new hosting. Sure I tride Tripod, Angelfire all the good old freebie sites, but the one that caught my eye most was Geocities. The place was perfect for a guy like me to make a simple website! My problem was, I devoted myself to way too many websites there. I had a Tenchi one, a Pokemon one, a Digimon, Dragon Ball, a Wrestling, you name it! I felt I needed to clean things up and create one massive site for everything I enjoy; hence BoWmEn.cjb.net. Although my Tenchi site was surprisingly popular, I felt my efforts should be more maintained into BoWmEn.cjb.net, I saw my self years down the road saying to people that ask me what my website is being BoWmEn.cjb.net, for everything I ever made I always gave this site the credit even if I never worked on the site because I felt one day I would. Anyway, the site has never really been completed...the closest it has been to being completed was around a year or so priror to Geocities shutting down. I would write lengthy blogs like this daily to entertain not only those who stopped by, but myself in essence. This is what keeps me motivated, even if no one ever sees the website I know I personally will enjoy the fruits of the labour put into it. But yeah Geocities shut down and dealt a fatal blow to me making websites. so much so it took until 2009 for me to make a cheesy blog most of you probably saw here on angelfire, then work got in the way of things. and the rest is history.
So I've been mainly planning opposed to executing what I want my new website to be. Unlike a lot of websites I cover a broad basis of things, I wish I could focus on one thing, but really I find I get bored of that since my moods change so consistently. I figure the main page I'll do what I do before, blog about current events and such on the main part and the rest, rather then build a shrine to teach people what is what, I'll focus more on my opinions and document my favorite stuff is rahter then focus on something you can find at a million other places. I'm pretty knowledgable in a lot of areas and can bring some interesting insights to a lot of things. Ideally after I finish the website I would love to Impliment a community like a forums with podcast or streams maybe I don't know yet. But like I said, this is just a pit stop for me to place my domain until I get the actual site up and running...Oh and to give you an insight on the topics I'm into? Video/Card Games, Comics, Anime, Movies, Television, Sports, Working Out, Wrestling, Music. Those brake down into categories obviously since there is so much, and I'm not 100% sure if I'll focus topics on all of them or am missing any, but I can tell you the main page itself will hold no bias to anything among life.
Until then, take care!
