ornbuckle dot org has been a part of the internet since 1998, with a few earlier incarnations on various free hosting sites. shortly after i finally decided to use it as a place to keep a journal a few years later, it became a semi-popular destination for those with too much time on their hands. unfortunately, i got creeped out by the sudden popularity and everybody thinking they knew what was going on in my life. i took a break and then moved my words to livejournal, where i felt as if i could be a bit less serious. that is where i've stayed and will continue to be for the time being. i haven't been doing much with this domain in over a year. since january of 2003, it was holding yet another layout that i never fully finished. this design has been up since early 2004, so it's probably about time for a change again.

avid is my name, in case this is all new to you. here's what's up with me these days.. i finally graduated from college and relocated to los angeles with april and our daughter, emma. we came out here seeking a change, and we definitely found it. we have yet to explore the city as much as we would like to do, but we have only recently gotten back on our feet financially. i hope to start working on new music again, along with a new issue of forgotten albums best left forgotten. at the moment, i am guilty of listening to a bit too much pop music and eating a bit too much fast food (no meat, of course) while not doing a whole lot besides working. and as usual, i'm way behind on emails, phone calls, and other forms of communication with people i actually like.

am not sure what i'm going to do with this site anymore. it has probably already had its heyday but may make a surprising comeback at some point. i'll probably bring the pictures back soon with a long overdue update. at any rate, this domain will be here until the internet no longer exists or i no longer exist (whichever occurs first). so whenever you lose touch with me, you'll always be able to find out how to find me again here. please check out my other projects when you get a chance. thanks. (i'll bring back my links in some form soon.)
