So, my name is Douglas Yancey Funny, but you can all just call me Doug. Currently I am still in Junior High. Though I have yet to get much of my posting online I do currently have a twitter account. http://twitter.com/DougFunny. Currently I am working on setting up a Flickr account and a facebook page, but very little has been done to them yet.

If your looking for some information about myself, there's really nothing to spectacular going on in life. I recently went nematode hunting, which was pointless. Other then that it's just the normal. I hang out with my friends Skeeter, Porkchop Patti, Beebee, and I try to avoid my sister Judy, her annoying cat, and Roger.

I hope to have more for you in the near future, but as for now I must go. I need to write down today's events in my journal.

Unfortunately once again i am still procrastinating. I feel that within the next few days I will have Doug up on several different social networks, and hopefully all required ones by the end of the week.

As to how to captivate people into joinging/reading/befriending, i am not sure yet. Hopefully, as catchy name/theme that most people from our generation remember will be enough. If not... the hell with it

So, to begin with i would first like to declair that i call dibs on Doug Funny, i believe that is who i am going to be for my project. Further then that i have no real idea as to what i am going to do... this will just have to be a fly by the seat of your pants kinda project.

3-6-08 - Project #3 Brainstorm

As of now I am not totally sure as to what i would like to do for this blog, nor do I know what sites I will choose to register my fictitious person in. I think that due to the creative nature of this assignment and my inability to really plan my creativity I think this will once again be an assignment which I will fly by the seat of my pants.

Here is a link to my project.

Project #1 Brainstorming #2 (1-29-08)

So, after the in-class discussion I cannot actually say i have any new or better ideas for my blog. As for pictures, last time i checked i still had an existing collection of about 300+ pictures that were taken during the trip. Hopefully i will find ones that are appropriate to what i decide to write about in my blog. As where they will be placed will have to wait untill my story has actually been written. Don't worry though, i'll fill you in as soon as i know more (or when the assignment is turned in).

Project #1 Brainstorming (1-29-08)

Though this is just a rough estimate of what I plan to write about for our first project I feel that it will help me sort out some of the ideas that are currently running though my mind. To begin with I am not sure where I would like to begin. Depending on how long the body of the story is I may go as far back as arriving at JFK international airport, but most likely I will start my story already in Israel. The finishing point for my story will end with getting back on an Air Plane to head home. Once again though depending on the length of the body I may include information about the flight back. After all, an 11 1/2 hour plane flight is an adventure in itself, a boring one, but an adventure none the less.

Though originally I was planning on telling a story of a single day of the trip, but having had time to give this further thought, I now believe i will segment the story into a couple days of the trip and highlight the better parts of it. I will either break things down day-by-day, or most likely by event.

Also, though there may be many characters within the story, the most prominent ones will be my friends Heidi, and Deva. Though as a couple they work together, they both are very distinct characters based on how I interact with them. For instance, Heidi seems to be a little more grounded and cautious, where as every now and then I can get Deva to go along with some of my not so great ideas. For instance, wandering off into the Arab Market in Jerusalem without any real security, and against our tour guides recommendation.

Finally, as we run out of time in class I am not sure that there will be much of any contest/puzzles in this story, but it is alwasy easy to add drama in one form or another.
