Hi I'm Bubs, welcome to my home on the web!

Thanks for stopping by! You have stumbled upon the personal website of Sidney Collins (aka Bubs). I'm a 24-year old student at the University of Alabama studying Computer Science and Mathematics. When I'm not busy programming you'll probably find me writing, drawing, reading, shopping, eating, or playing Monopoly.

My name is Bubs.  And I am a procrastinator.

~ Edit: (8/31/03) I’m not dead, just cleaning up some coding on my site and being lazy this weekend :D ~

Aww, my total comments have dropped dramatically :getsad: I guess the only reason many people were commenting was because of Provance… oh well, I will survive. I still have my beloved faithful commenters: anjana, Angelique, Karrie, Peter, Jenny, and Kristen.

Well, my bad habit of procrastination has already started again. I have so much homework that is due today, which I have yet to complete! I did finish one thing, however. For Creative Writing, I was supposed to write a poem that included a list of some sort. Now, I love to write, but I enjoy writing fiction/non-fiction. To be honest, I never liked poetry until recently. The reason I like it now is because I have studied it more in depth and I have come to respect some of it (I still think a lot of it is pointless and stupid :P) Anyways, I just finished writing my poem. It is so stupid and terrible that I decided to post it so that everyone can make fun of it hehe. I know that poetry doesn’t necessarily have to rhyme, but I wanted to give it a shot.

Distractions
By Bubs

I tell myself I will work on something early,
And I try to make that true.
Then why am I awake writing this poem
On the day that it is due?

(Not only a poem do I have to write,
But Spanish and English reading that I should have done last night.)

I shake my head, but it is clear –
Procrastination is a weakness, a troubled future do I fear!

I’m really a good student.
I feel I’ve a valid excuse.
Distractions, distractions, distractions…
To avoid them, there is no use.

Wednesday is my busiest day,
But Tuesdays are not that bad.
Then, you ask, why not Tuesday?
Well, a date with sleeping is what I had.

Let me not forget the distraction
That led me to the place;
The place where I played Xbox
To continue my procrastination pace.

The craving was unbearable
& doughnuts hit the spot.
However I was a bit disappointed
When the doughnuts weren’t fresh and hot.

Before my trek to the Krispy Kreme
(Which was later in the night),
I just had to have a manicure/pedicure –
To finish my work first didn’t seem right.

I finally sit down to write this poem.
But first, a topic I must decide.
Then I look over to my aquarium and realize
My beloved Dalmatian fish has died!

This poem is long and boring,
So I think it’s time to conclude.
Just wanted to tell of all the distractions,
And the homework they helped to elude.

:rofl: Hey, I gave it a shot! hehe

Anyways, I have terrible news! My dalmatian-spotted fish died this morning :cry: I don’t know why! I have an automatic feeder, but I’m wondering if it is working properly. Well, all my other fish seem pretty active and happy… maybe I just got an unhealthy fish? I hope that is the case because I don’t want any of the others to die so soon. In other, better news, I may be getting a new puppy! It’s a little Yorkie named Precious :love: I will tell the story behind that the next time I post, but right now I really need to finish my homework.

Not too much going on with my site. I have been brainstorming a new skin and a new layout of Oh My Cuteness. Also, I will be starting a new contest very soon… this next one will be a lot of fun ;) Before you go, please vote for me at Sugary-Sweet’s Top 50 Pixel Sites. Hope everyone has a good day… it’s almost Friday, thank goodness!!

    Poetry is so my thing! in fact, I might go to graduate school for creative writing and focus on poetry. i’m a poetry editor at wordriot.org too! but i know what you mean about poetry seeming sort of pointless. i’m the opposite from you. i wish i could write fiction. i have no structure though. :no:

    i’m sorry your fishy died. awwww and it was the dalmation one. i used ot have a nice fish tank and sometimes they would just randomly die. i guess that’s just fish. oh. and sometimes they’d eat each other…i think thats worse. ha haha.

    i’ll comment more from now on. i always felt kinda silly commenting hence the fact that i dont know you…well, except for your site….i know your blog so maybe that counts as knowing you. (:

    this is a very long comment:confused: ….i’ll go now. bye!

    Your poem is really good :). Your poor fish :(. I guess a puppy might make you feel better about it dying though. I know what you mean about leaving homework until the last minute (i am leaving my algebra h/w to the last minute right now :) )
