April Rain Showers - About me...

Ok.... So like what's the deal?

Hey there.... Often times on a site list this pple get a little curious about it's creator. So, if curiosity
lead you to this page then I will tell ya a little about myself and this site..

What exactly is AprilRainShowers and where did it come from?

Well... In the interest of saving time (and not boring you to tears) I'll give ya the abbreviated
version.. I started teaching myself web building in 2003.. At the time, my skills were much to be
desired but I found it was something I really enjoyed so I continued to learn as much as I could.
Before long I found myself with an entire site built on free webspace. However, free space sometimes
isn't enough for a creative person like myself and so AprilRainShowers was born.. It took quite a long
time to build the original ARS site but when I reached a point of completion I went on to build many
other sites... I recently took a good look at my original creation and realized that it desperately
needed a make-over and voila! Here is the new AprilRainShowers... For those who knew the old one,
I hope you will come to love the new one even more.   I admit, it is quite different but change is the
one constant in life, ya know? ;-)   I have designed the site to ever be a work in progress, so who
knows what new goodies may be added in the future.

Why did you build this site?

I really have no clue.. LOL Call it boredom? Creativity? My inner "geek"? I would have to say a
combination of all three..

So, like um... Who are you?

As you probably could guess, my name is April... I'm a native Cali girl, born & raised in So. Califorinia..
A few words I would use to describe myself are... sarcastic, smart, funny, introspective, clever,
caring, gentle, kind, internally strong, complex, spiritual, feminine, dramatic & linguistic. How is that
for a few descriptive words? I also consider myself a child of the night.. Make of that what you will..
Some of my interests include: travel, fitness, music (mostly alternative), road trips, cooking, reading,
writing dark poetry, etc..   I could go on but after a while it all becomes "blah blah blah" If you want
to know anything else about lil' me, then feel free to ask... ;-)

Can I have your phone number or address?

Umm.. no

Why is this page raining pink stars?
Well... I would tell you but then I would have to seek you out and.....
um, no seriously coz I liked it, k?

What are some of your causes/beliefs?

I have very strong convictions in my life about several issues...
I am an animal lover.. I believe they are truly a gift from God and we must protect all animals and
their habitats. I am adamantly opposed to hunting of any type. This is simply barbaric and wrong. I
would personally question the mental state of any human being who would find "joy" in the "sport" of
murder under the guise of hunting.

I am very concerned about our planet's environment and global warming. I believe that
in recent years nature is sending us a real wake-up call to change the way we do things here on
planet earth.. Western societies in particular bear special responsibilities in learning and creating new
and innovative ways to help save our planet.

Gun Control.. Do I need to really say anything? Guns were created for killing, killing is wrong. Nuff
said.

I feel very strongly in reaching out to help those in need.   Be it large or small everyone can
use some kindness or caring in their lives. Sometimes a small gesture such as a smile or a kind word is
enough to change someone's entire day. You just never can tell.. Compassion for others needs to in
the center of more people's hearts. Sadly so many people live only for themselves never realizing that
the true gift of happiness lies not in what they can do for themselves but rather what good they can
do for others..

I believe in living positively and always in expectation of the very best.. There really is no
other way to be IMO.   I keep my feet on the ground but I'm always reaching to the stars..

Democrat or Republican? Duh! lol   Democrat baby ;-)

SN's? IM's?

Hey, Can you teach me some design skills? and/or Will you build me a page or
myspace page?

If I had a nickel for every time I have been asked this I would have quite a savings account by now..
lol It is really impossible to teach someone web design, html or javascripts via email or on IM Chat.
But I can direct you to some kick-ass "geek" sites where you can learn quite a bit on your own.. Sites
such as Dynamic Drive, JavaScript Kit or Page Resource (all of which I have linked). As far as
myspace profiles, there are literally zillions of self-help myspace building sites out there with codes to
pimp your entire profile. Yes, the drawback to that is you have their annoying little banner or link ads
on your page (not kewl). However, if you take a peek at the three sites above you can easily learn to
eliminate these links or banners from the html code or even to create a page of entirely your own
creation ;)   Wouldn't that be much better then asking me to do it for you? :P   hehe

Some kewl links I recommend:

ASPCA
Action for Animals
Green Peace
Save the Wolves
Sierra Club
American Democratic Party
The Secret
Cherokee Nation

This be me.....
