A Little About Me
I was born to Mom and Dad (who else?). They love me very much and I
love them, or at
least the fact that they feed me. My Mom leaves everyday
for along time but my Dad
stays home with me all day. When I see my
Mom come through the door, I get sooooo excited
that most of the time, I
fall down. I am elevin months old but I have been walking
since I
turned 9(months). I am not talking yet but somehow, technology allows me
to
have my own website. I will have a new picture everyday so keep on
coming back. If you
miss a day, don't cry. I have created an archive so you
can still watch me grow. My parents
keep trying to get their mugs on the
camera so you might catch a glimpse of them.

What is the deal with diaper wipes tasting soooo bad? They are meant to wipe
my bum but
half of the time they are being smeared all over my face and hands.
Why not just stick
a bar of soap in my mouth? Why wouldn't the company just
make a face wipe that tastes like
candy or strawberries? Don't they realize that
there is something wrong when I squirm all
over and try to hide when they wipe
my face? This is not fun for me! I just wish that
we could come together and get
a suitable solution for this. Until next time, take care
of yourself.........and each other.

What is the deal with nap times? I wake up and start to get into a groove
playing with
my toys and then, all of the sudden, I am back in bed again. I start
to cry and I
know that my parents can hear me but they don't come. I hate nap
times. I think that it
is about time for kids of the world to unite as one and
overthrow these powers that be.
DOWN WITH NAPS!!! Until next time,
take care of yourself.........and each other.
Special Holiday Comment
Well, for Mother's Day, I helped my Dad prepare and delicious meal for Mom.
I actually
had to hit the sack while they ate it but as you can see in the archive, I
had all of the
pots and pans to help with. Dad loves it when I get in the way, I
mean help out. "The
meal?" you ask. Well, it was tempura jumbo colossal
prawns, sweet potato, carrots and
broccoli. Dad cut up some super fresh
salmon and made sushi with a little too much
wasabe. We also made tea, miso
soup and rice. There was so much food, so they tell me,
that they gave a whole
plate full of tempura to the neighbors. Mom and Dad ate their
dinner in a nice
peaceful environment accompanied by candlelight. OHHH!!
Happy Mother's
Day!!

What is the deal with my parents sticking their fingers all up in my mouth? Here
is the
situation... I am playing, does not matter what time it is, minding my own
business and
I come across an interesting widget. You know what "widgets" are
don't you? If not, don't
ask me. Anyway, I pick it up and look at it for a little
bit. I look over to see if my
Dad or Mom can give me a clue but they are busy
watching Jerry Springer or working on the
computer or taking ill advise from
Oprah so what do I do? I stick it in my mouth, all kids
have that extra need to
see what
stuff tastes like. Well, it does not really matter what it tastes like, I
usually don't
spit it out. So here I am walking around with this look on my face
that I have not mastered
yet that tells them there is something in my mouth.
"Hey!" My parents usually yell and I
give chase. When they catch me(they are
lucky our apartment is not that big) the first thing
that they do is stick their finger
in my mouth and take away MY booty. I am tired of it. If
they want to share
then lets sharebut they usually take my goods, look closely at it and then
store it
behing that child safe door under the sink. They must have a huge pile of my
stuff
under there and when they try to cash in, I will be waiting. Isn't there some
sort of law
against this sort of action? Can I call someone?
Until next time, take care of yourself.........and each other.

What is the deal with this Seinfeld guy? My Dad watches that show
religously.
He never misses an episode and he has sounds all over my
computer. Last night
he had a bunch of his friends over, who are
normally here on Wednesday night,
to watch the final episode. I really
don't mind but why does the media have to
talk about the last episode
sooooo much. I mean, they really beat things to
death. I am glad that
it is finally over with. Just like my
Dad says about Charles
Barkley. Him and that other guy (who plays for the
Bulls and would be nothing
without Scottie Pippen) my Dad hates when
people talk about. He says that
that guy wont retire but wants the extra
publicity, as if he needs anymore. He is
going to be a player coach for
the Bulls next season. Oh well, I lost my train of
thought. Until next time, take care of yourself.........and each other.

The other day I was feeling ill. I had a temperature of 101 degrees.
So after
some TLC from both of my parents, they decided to give me some
fever
reducing medicine. Being that it is child medicine, it is the kind
that is squirted
into my mouth with that little eye dropper. Well, I
guess that there are a few
different flavors to choose from. Orange,
cherry and bubblegum are a few
flavors. So my question is who are the
add wizards that came up with this one?
I mean, 80% of my diet so far
has been the flavor of sugar water and now you
want me to actually
drink this stuff? Of course I am going to squirm and spit it
out! Well,
I just wanted to get that off of my chest. Until next time,
take care of
yourself..........and each other.
May 20th, 1998
What is the deal with these child restraint leashes? It is like I am your
kid
but I am your pet too. I mean, who are the ad wizards that
came up with this
one. Somebody tell me cause, I want to know. I have
been walking around the
house for a while now but when we go out to the
park or to the mall, do I really
have to be degraded like this? What
about some child rights here? Instead of
the harness being on the kid,
why not make the parent wear it, I mean who
really is in control in this
relationship? Let us wear it around our wrist and yank
you back when
you try to run off into the third coffee shop of the day!
Until next
time, take care of yourself.........and each other.

Sorry, there will be no jokes in todays comments. Yesterday, my Grandma
Jensen's
dog passed away. Her name was Angie. Born in January of '82, which
makes her
115 years old. She was a cute little German Snouzer and will be
missed.
Rest in Peace Angie. Until next time, take care of yourself.........
and each other.

This is just a comment that I would like to get off of my chest. I don't
want to
take the above comment down yet but I am just a little ticked off.
Why you ask.
Well, if I didn't mention it before, I am from Portland Oregon.
That is not the
reason. It is because until yesterday it rained for like 10
days in a row and then
yesterday it was beautiful outside. My Dad and I
went over to Nana's house
and I got to play on the playground equipment and
play with the kids. My Nana
has her own Daycare. Anyway, today it is raining
again!!! This stinks. I enjoy
going outside and playing in the park and
eating the dirt and all of that fun stuff. I
am almost a year old now and
I have only made it outside to play in the park
about a dozen times! Well,
thank you for letting me vent. Until next time, take
care of yourselves.......and
each other.

Today is the anniversary of my second cousin's passing. Triffina DeAngelo and
her life long friend Tracy
Thompson were victims of a hit and run one year ago
today. We are going to the road side tonight for a
vigil. They liked soccer, rap
music and baggy clothes. They are be missed greatly.
June 4th, 1998
What is the deal with vacuum cleaners? I mean, who are the ad wizards that
came up with this one?
Somebody tell me cause I would like to know. It is like
I am trying to play and then all of the sudden, the
creature from the black lagoon
comes out of no where and charges, roaring like crazy. It is the most I can
do to
just scramble onto the couch to avoid this monstrosity. My Dad tries to wrestle
it down but he ends
up just chasing it all over the house. It is like the thing wont
stop until it has reached every corner of the
place. Spooky this thing. I don't
know how they do it. Well, I have changed the Picture Archive
to take up less
space and so if you would like to see the Best of May pictures, it is all the more
easier.
Until next time, take care of yourselves.......................and each other.

The new picture page has arrived!!! I just finished with the first batch of pictures
for my Family and Friends Pictures
area. So take some time out of that busy
schedule of yours and visit it. If you are one of my
thousands of regular visitors,
please don't be upset if your picture is not in the archive yet. I am only one
kid
and I do have other stuff I need to attend to. I can't think of any right now but
that does not mean that
I don't have things to do. If you send me your pictures,
I will post them in the appropriate catagory. When
I get a scanner again, I will
get the rest of my family and friends posted. So please take it easy on my
email,
sometimes I spend the whole day trying to get back to all of you. Until next
time,
take care of yourselves.......................and each other.

Yesteday was my birthday! That's right, today I am the big...........
ONE!!! I realize that you will all want to
see many pictures of me celebrating but
it is going to take us a couple of days to develope the film and
scan in the
pictures. Trust me, there are going to be some really great shots. Yesterday we
had a big
bash at my Nana's house. They bbq'ed some burgers and dogs and
had lots of cakes, fruits and
vegies. It was great. I got lots of great presents. I
love the toys but my parents seemed thrilled about the
clothes for some reason. I
don't understand that. I will get some pics of me with my new toys on here
soon
enough so just be patient. Tonight we are off to my Grandpa Jensen's house to
get more gifts and
eat more cake. I love haveing a big family!!! So tomorrow I
will tell you all how that goes. Until next time,
take care of
yourselves...................and each other.
June 18th, 1998
I have had one of the busiest weeks in my life! Ok, here goes the week in
review by Andre Jr. Sunday as
some of my loyal followers know, we
celebrated my birthday at my Nana's house. It was a blast and I got
to grub up
some cake. I still don't have the scanner working just (probably cause we don't
have a scanner)
so I can't let you see those pics just yet but we are working on
it. Monday night instead of venturing out
to my Grandma and Grandpa Jensen's
house, they came out here for a bbq. we had some delicious
burgers that my
Dad cooked up. So for two days in a row I grubbed up some cake. On
Tuesday we really
didn't do anything but my Dad's friend was in town from
Arizona and I don't remember him so I played that
cute little shy role while he
was here. I did get to break his new sunglasses so the day wasn't a total loss.
That brings us to Wednesday and we all know that Wednesday is South Park
day! For those who missed
the festivities on Sunday, we held yet another party
and bbqed some more beef. Unfortunately I missed
my second nap that day so
I didn't get to stay up and watch the episode but my Dad told me that it was
pretty good this time too. Well, now I have to take a moment out to tell you
about today's visit to the hospital.
I really don't like that place, the nurses, the
doctors and especially the needles. My Dad is standing there
talking about
"you're ok, you're ok". I wish he would realize that this lady just stuck a two
inch needle into
my quads! That is not fun and I am looking right at my Dad
screaming my head off but does he pick me
up? NO! I couldn't beleive it. Once
it was over I did not cry but I did manage to give the nurse a really
dirty look
before she left. My Dad got a kick out of that. Until next time, take care of
yourselves................
and each other.
June 22nd, 1998
Yes I realize that today is not Father's Day but yesterday I was busy having
good times with my Dad. Mom and I made
made Dad a delicious dinner here.
We made Sushi and Shiskabobs (sp?). It was delicious. Of course,
just like last
time (Mother's Day), they made me hit the hay while they ate. I hate when they
do that. Just
like when they hate when they had to eat at the kiddy table at
holidays. They still do at some parties.
Until next time, take care of
yourselves.................and each other.

Man, if it isn't one thing, it is another. I do not really know what this means but I
have been running into
some bad luck. I have not been able to update this page
because my FTP program ran out of its trial
period. I finally found another FTP
program so here I am. Oh do I wish I actually thought out this comment
before I
started typing. Plus the Teletubbies are on and I am getting distracted. Well, I
am back and I am
going to be updating the site Monday through Friday so
please keep your emails that say "HEY, why has
the site not been updated" to
yourselves. I can only read a couple hundred emails a day you know. I do
have
stuff to break and juice to spill. That basically sums up my day. Until next time,
take care of yourselves...........................................
and each other.
July 1st, 1998
It is that time of the month again. Eewww!!! I am going to pretend that I didn't
hear you say that. I was
referring to the time where you, the visitor, gets to
choose your favorite pictures to be displayed in the
"Best of June Archive". We
had a great turn out last month so
I am expecting a few hundred emails on this
like usual so get your votes in quickly. Until next time, take
care of
yourselves........................and each other.
July 5th, 1998
Happy Forth of July!!! Ok so today is the fifth but still better late then never. For
my international friends, well,
Happy Forth of July I guess. But for all of you it is
probably just another day. I went to the beach with my
Mom and saw a ton of
fireworks. I got a little scared because there were a few idiots who were playing
with their fireworks in an unsafe manner. That stuff is not funny. My Mom tells
me that someone might
poke out their eye. Over all, we had a great time. My
Dad went off with Martin to visit my Cyber Uncles
Derrick and Marshall in
Central Oregon. They said that they had a good time also. What did you do for
the
Forth? Until next time, take care of yourselves.............and each other.
July 9th, 1998
Is that not the funniest picture you have ever seen. I have this perfect thing to do
to go with this picture.
Go to THIS SITE and set the dialect to jive and then
enter
my site back in. It honestly has to be the funniest thing I have seen in my
life. Granted I am only one year
old but still, it is very amusing. Until next time,
take care of yourselves.............and each other.
July 17th, 1998
Wow, that was the longest break I think that I have ever taken! I am going to
blame my Dad on this one.
He has been working on the computer all the time
and never lets me get on it. Plus all of my fans with
their email that takes forever
to get out. I have to take a moment to say What up to my Moms out in Cali
right about now. She is working hard to put bread on the table and Dad and I
are proud of her. I miss
you Mom! Until next time, take care of
yourselves..................and each other.
July 19th, 1998
Welcome all new comers that have found my site from the August issue of
Yahoo! Internet Life. For my
veteran visitors who do not know what I am
talking about, the magazine has mentioned me! Yeah, it is
exciting but I knew it
would happen soon enough. Sorry, I will try to refrain from being too vain. Any
how,
this super genious, Angela Gunn, who maintains her "Dot.Dot.Dot.Com"
column enjoys my site also.
She talks about some other stuff but that really is
not important. The best part is the last paragraph
where she talks about my
favorite subject, me! I have to be selfish, being only 13 months old, all I really
think about is myself. Well, if you missed it on the newstand shelves, there is
plenty of time to pick up a
copy for yourself and check it out on page 74. If you
are too cheap to fork over the three bucks, you can
see her column HERE.
Until
next time, take care of yourselves.............and each other.
July 24th, 1998
What is the deal with cottage cheese? I mean is it good, has it gone bad? I don't
think anyone knows but
if someone does could you tell me cause
I want to
know. My parents feed it to me all of the time and they don't have a clue. And
what is the deal
with large or small curd? What is a CURD!?!? Who are the ad
wizards that came up with this one and how
did they get my folks to buy it? This
is good stuff, I might just become one of the world smallest comedians.
Until
next time, take care of yourselves...............and each other.
August 1st, 1998
I have to get a little something off of my little chest. Andre's getting upset!!!
Here I am just surfing
(don't get me started on that parental supervision thing)
for my favorite TV show, Teletubbies, and I come
across quite a few articles
about how it is not good for me. I do not hear anyone my age complaining.
And
don't bring up the fact that most of them can not speak. I love the show. I do
not watch much TV but
when I do it is mostly on PBS and I fully support what
they air. Well aside from the other British show
Faulty Towers. They got half of
the name correct. It definetly is faulty. Back to the subject. It is the only
show
that I watch from beginning to the end. I want to know how these people get
jobs complaining about
other peoples work. I think I have what it takes. Until
next time, take care of yourselves..............and
each other.
August 4 th, 1998
Well I found a new toy! Instead of playing with all of my toys, I have decided to
play with my parents television. I figure that if I push the little buttons, stuff
happens. I like to turn it on and off. Dad doesn't. I love it but I can tell that my
parents don't like it too much. Maybe it is the way they scramble for the remote
control everytime I do it. Personally I think they need to get there old bones off
the couch instead of watching the news or Sienfeld. What is the deal with that
guy? Could one person whine just a little bit more? Someone tell me cause I
want to know. Until next time, take care of yourselves............and each other.
August 8 th, 1998
What is the deal with my parents persistent pressure to blow my nose? If it was
meant for me to use
tissue, I wouldn't have sleeves on my shirts. I have two of
them, that should keep my nose clean for the
day. I mean look at the pictures in
the archive for Aug. 7th and tell me, is this the face of a child that
enjoys you
plugging my nose so I can't even breath? I would say no. So anyway, I hope
that everyone
has a great weekend!! I myself plan on going see both sets of my
Grandparents on my father's side. I
love seeing them cause I get plenty of eats
and attention. It is great to be a kid!!! Until next time, take
care of
yourselves.................and each other.
August 12 th, 1998
Well I figured out why my parents do not want me to mess with the fan. I had
their keys and was just
playing around with the hole in the side. I know that the
keys do not go into it because I have watched my
parents put the keys into the
doorknob but I can't quite reach those yet so I go ahead and try to get it in the
fan.
Man was I shocked by the noise. It scared me so good that my Dad didn't
even hollar at me or anything.
I havent messed with it yet but I am devising a
plan. Oh well just live and learn I guess. Something tells
me that I have many
life lessons to come. Until next time, take care of yourselves..................
and each other.
August 16 th, 1998
I love to mess with my Dad. I accidentally turned the stereo on and then when
my Dad goes to turn it
off, I was watching. I now know the exact button to
push. Oh that does not make him happy at all. He is
in the kitchen cooking or
doing the dishes and I just happen to turn on the stereo (which sometimes
scares the dickens out of me) he has to scramble on out and quickly turn it off.
Laugh oh do I laugh. Anyway
I hope to keep that guy on his toes. Hahahaha.
Until next time, take care of yourselves..................
and each other.
August 25 th, 1998
This was not my fault at all. My Dad decided to sell off our (my) computer and
build a new one. So it
has been about six days now and I have a ton of email. I
will get back to everyone asap. I hope that
each and everyone of you can find it
in your hearts to forgive me. I got to see my Uncle Cam and Aunt
Channy over
the weekend. I love their dog Mia!!! My Grandparents brought over a cool
dresser for me
and my Uncle Mike brought me a cool new truck!! I have had
fun these past few days. I hope to get back
on my routine to keep all of my
faithful visitors happy. Until next time, take care of yourselves.................
and each other.
August 30 th, 1998
Well now that I am back online and everything, I figure it only right to thank
those that helped me out to get back. First I would like to thank my friends in
the Corporate division of CompUSA. Especially the Corporate Operations
something or rather. I would also like to thank the technical support help of
Mark. That kid is a wizard I tell you. Finally I would like to thank the generosity
of SP Precision. Thank you everyone!!! I hope you all enjoy a great
weekend!!! Until next time, take care of yourselves.............and each other.
September 4 th, 1998
WOW!! This is the birthday season. Let us think about this for a second. This is that ninth month so that means that about nine months ago was New Years. So for all of you birthday kids coming up, your parents were probably partiers!!! Now that is a scary thought. I know my parents do not do anything like that. They are here to take care of me the way it should be. Well, let me go ahead and throw out some shout outs to my peeps. Happy Birthday to my Mom, Grandpa Petillo, Uncle Mike, and Aunt Chandoline! I hope all of you enjoy your birthdays!! Until next time, take care of yourselves.................and each other.
September 8 th, 1998
Happy Birthday Mommy!!! My oh my have we had a fun weekend! Let me tell
you about it. Well on Saturday we went to my Mom's friend's 40th birthday
party and they had a Hawaiian band playing. That was incredible. They had
dancers and everything. Then on Sunday we used our new backpack and hiked
all over the residential neighborhoods here. Much fun to get out and play in the
near by parks and stuff. Then yesterday (it was a three day weekend) we
watched McGwire crank homerun # 61 while hanging out at my Grandpa
Petillo's house. It was his birthday yesterday. And now it is my Mom's birthday
as well as my Aunt Chandoline's. Man all of these "New Years" babies!!! Until
next time, take care of yourselves...............and each other.
