Rants from 2000:

12/29/00
It's all in my notes, every last word you need. I'm way over this...way, way over this. I'd type more but my mind is racing and I can't keep it still. Call it a day and put it to bed.

12/27/00
I've become obsessed with dreams lately. Or maybe they've become obsessed with me. No matter when or where I fall asleep, I'm harassed by visions from my fevered frontal lobe.

12/22/00
Still having those weird dreams like I wrote about in my last entry. (And thanks to everyone who e-mailed me about what they mean) I'm usually a sound sleeper but these night visions have been waking me up lately. Maybe it has something to do with my birthday coming up or something. I dunno, maybe it's just from eating too many taco's before I go to bed.

12/20/00
I had this strange dream last night. In my dream I find myself in some huge underground amusement park. There's all kinds of rides and food stands stretching out before me in this huge cave system but somehow I know there's something wrong with it.

12/15/00
I'm just sitting here being real diligent, trying to act all mature and stuff. I'm answering e-mails like a good webmaster should. It's amazing how many people like to send me stuff in the mail.

12/08/00
Just got back from another road trip to the buckle of the bible belt (that's Alabama in case you were wondering) and it's nice to be back at home with nothing to worry about except where my next double espresso is coming from.

12/06/00
Hi guys, Lan here, Derek decided Monday to go up to Alabama to investigate a story. He's not back yet but has assured me that he will show up sometime before the end of the week.

12/01/00
Hey, Party at ground zero! You guys all doing ok? I'm fine but things do seem a little slow around here. Must just be a normal paranormal winter slow down (say that 3 times fast). I suspect that things will pick up after the first of the January.

11/28/00
I thought I would cheer you northerners up by offering some footage of me out enjoying the sweet Florida sunshine. For the past coupla days the weather here has been just perfect. It makes you forget that in the summer you have to peel your shirt off from the humidity.

11/22/00
I sit here in the underground Freakylinks bunker, while the rest of Florida explodes into conflict above me. Above my head I can hear the rattle of small arms fire pinging off voting machines, I can smell the odor of burning ballots wafting down into my shelter.

11/17/00
I tell ya it's been a banner week for conspiracies over here at Freakylinks. Strange thoughts and ideas keep whirling in here faster than you can crash a UFO in Roswell. Let's see if I can sort 'em all out for ya.

11/15/00
Got an interesting conundrum that I'm hoping you can help me figure out. A coupla days ago I received this e-mail and yes, it was from a hotmail account.

11/10/00
Contrary to what a lot of e-mailers think, I had nothing to do with the current election mumbo jumbo going on in this great state. So all you guys should quit e-mailing me and saying that I'm somehow connected.

11/08/00
Other people get chain letters for phony pyramid schemes, I get pictures of secret super weapons. This little image came my way with a rather peculiar note attached. I'll leave it up to you to decide it's worth.

11/03/00
I'm back from a visit to Spano Texas, a little dusty, a little bruised up, but mostly OK. No one ever said digging into the paranormal was an easy gig and this one was a little more trouble than it's worth.

11/01/00
When last we heard from the little weasel Stu Carmichael he was busy getting things off the top shelf for our favorite little Oompa Lompa, Gunter Mahlberg. These days it looks like he's branching out into plagiarism by shamelessly ripping off my website.

10/27/00
I ain't got no scruples when it comes to chasing down the truth. I got the snake drive. I am 50 feet tall. When I walk the woods tremble, the dark gods quiver in fear.

10/25/00
Georgia Paranormal Sing Along... what more do you need to know???

10/20/00
I ain't got no scruples when it comes to chasing down the truth. I got the snake drive. I am 50 feet tall. When I walk the woods tremble, the dark gods quiver in fear.

10/18/00
A really good source threw me a video of something strange going on in the New York sewers. I don't wanna give too much away in case it all turns out to be nothing but let's just say that the urban legend you've heard about may have a kernel of truth to it.

10/13/00
It's the middle of the night and I'm too worked up to sleep and I'm too tired to sort it all out so I thought I would sit and talk to you guys.

10/11/00

10/06/00
Talking about Adam always makes me miss him and it's hard to be the stupid and goofy guy when I keep thinking about him. He'd laugh his butt off if he saw me like this. I was never the one to shed a tear or reminisce about old times.

10/04/00
Me and Jason are currently holed up in a Motel 6 in Pigeon Forge Tennessee. Dolly Parton's theme park is just down the road but it wasn't those twin peaks that brought up us here. Instead we're just back from another run in with that vertically challenged, paranormally obsessed all around fun guy, Gunter Mahlberg.

09/29/00
Well I faced up to my fears and gave up my secrets of Seattle. I still don't like talking about it. (Trust me, it wasn't my finest hour.) But I do feel better about letting it out. I never was one good at keeping a secret.

09/25/00
Got a big new story outta of the deepest, depths of Africa with all kinds of exciting footage for you to give the once over.

09/20/00
Well I'm busier than a sea serpent at a boat show what with all this moving things from Orlando to my ultra deluxe, super-swank, home on the beach.

09/15/00
This week's story is one that Jason and I researched while out there in the city of angels...and just goes to show what madness is to be expected when I meet people who post on the discussion boards.

09/13/00
Busy days here at Freak Central.... I thought I'd do a few house cleaning duties here before the next update comes out on Friday. I'm just sitting here enjoying take out from my favorite high quality restaurant.

09/11/00
I'm thankful for the favor you've done me. You made me realize I was hiding from my true nature. If I want to run a website that explores the paranormal then I should be man enough to let the world know who I am. From now on you won't see me hiding behind HTML code.

09/05/00
How could I have missed hearing about Gunter Mahlberg? Oh sure I had his link on my enemy page for quite some time but I just assumed (what's that old saying about assuming?) that he was a nobody. Just a freak with a website and a want list of the strange.

08/29/00
Yeah, that's right, I've hit the big time, I'm in a tabloid! Now this article, coupled with that new and mysterious thunderbird photo I received makes me wonder if 2000 is gonna be the year of the Thunderbird.

08/28/00
Newsflash, Someone sent me this pic from a hotmail account (but of course) What do you think?

08/25/00
Breaking news off the paranormal presses, boys and girls. Pretty exciting stuff ifin you ask me. They're bringing "In Search Of" back to TV. (And if you're too young to remember this show then you should go ask your dad about it)

08/24/00
I'm all for road trips but when you ain't seen home in nearly a month you get mighty lonesome for all the petty little things that make up your life.

Rants from 2001:

01/19/01
Oh yeah I'm a little whirlwind of cleanliness and I'm straightening up left and right (not personally, I'm talking about putting objects back where they belong.) I even got enough gumption in me to attend to a little carpentry.

01/17/01
Got a cool present in the mail from a Freaky reader named Sam from up there in New Orleans. Sam said he's a big fan of the website and urges me to come back up to the Big Easy so he can show me around.

01/12/01
... certain events over the past few days have made me look into the deeper aspects of life transference and the power to make the inanimate, animate.

01/05/01
Looking back at my notes last week it seems that maybe my subconscious mind was trying to tell me something I didn't want to know. The visions I had in my sleep all relate in some way to the strange goings on I encountered in Casadaga.

01/03/01
The Dreams are tapering off.... I don't know if it had something to do with finding that book at Adam's. Maybe it was the fact that I had all this built up anxiety over my birthday on the first.

I DO NOT, NOR DO I CLAIM TO OWN FREAKY LINKS OR ANY THING RELATED TO IT!
