Well, there was a hard drive crash and a lot of the stuff on RedSweater was lost.
Forunately, I was able to recover a bunch of the site's data. Unfortunately, News Stories, Journals, and Forum Topics were not recovered, so I had to use a backup from 2007.
So, it's kinda weird... all the comments and messages were saved, but a lot of the stories that the comments were on were lost. Who knows what will happen now.....

Almost forgot to mention! Anyone who might have wanted to be included in the hike, a friend of mine from wallkill was coordinating. It's been rescheduled to THIS month. Boston isn't happening but we will be doing some other fun activities. Finally, due to MY health not really being that great this past year AND my ca **kaputzing**, I haven't been out in too large groups or gatherings but, kept in touch with mostly everyone I could through mass text.
Quite a few ppl I've lost numbers and added names totally wrong and am JUST finding out who's in my contacts again LOL! Thanks for your patience, sorry for MASS texting but, it's quick and efficient :o) Speaking of HI engladkid!
Thanks for the Tweet E see u guys soon I ((promise)) now that my "network" has expanded in that general direction ;o} lol! I was bummed about missing WILLIFEST though, Matt Dallas was supposed to be there 4 promo of a recent indie flick :o)
Ian, I can't believe you've been right across the water for nearly a year now, and we haven't got together. What's new?
Whew. VERY nervous my sis is going into the hospital (guess we like the food *nervous laugh*) But, she will be in Englewood Hospital and Medical Center for a pretty serious proceedure. As most of us are aware the hospital is known for The Institute for Patient Blood Management and Bloodless Medicine and Surgery. My sister is my best friend and more importantly a very loyal exemplary servant of Jehovah so she means the WORLD to me. My nerves are a little on edge, trembling a bit but, I glad it's now while she CAN'T see it because she told me she was scared and I was the only one to hold a brave face...cause she always does it for me :o/
Thanks in advance for well wishes please keep her in mind <3 you guys! TTYSN
Happy to report everything turned out fairly well :oD
PS I LOVE ie. am in absolute TOTALLY HEAD OVER my tiny heels LOVE with...GOOGLE INSTANT. I can't believe how my first impression (not feelin it) changed once I used it for a few days! It's funny searching for originalsnob 'cause I'm a Twit-a-holic and I actually turn up lol! #yay
Ok.... so EVRERYONE respond with their starcraft 2 RealID account info... eZabel LAN/WAN party is AGOGO GO GOGGOGOGGOGOGO
mine is my gmail. michael.schiano@gmail.com
you all fail... you are all a fail sunday with fail sauce drizzled all over with fail cherries on top.
wow this is still operational eh
Why am I addicted to Twitter? It ALWAYS happens when I get sick or am TRAPPED inside and left to my own device...PLUS the randomness starts to make sense O_0 I think.
Like THIS: The player always ends up played. When u attempt to play the 1 who actually cares about u, u're actually playing yourself. -MulahTruth
SUBURBAN TRANSLATION: Lol! (no that is still me laughing)
Don't miss out on someone who's awesome and right under your nose.
-- I think I got it right
this site needs a revamp.... and by revamp i mean pictures of my butt.
I think that would put some people into cardiac arrest.
hey buds! does anyone do graphic design or have a referral for me? my boss is looking for a new logo and some website changes. pm me if you can help me out. thanks!
Lauren does graphic design, she does a lot of logo work. Email her at lnphotoart@gmail.com
thank you thank you
Oh I'm late. If there's stuff in future, please give me a hollar if you still have my email or number.
I'm not working.. so I could use a project... or job
Hiking in wallkill this fall w/ a friend and a group of us ;o) If interested say hey!
So as adult as I realize I am, there are a few places I could 4def use some tweaking. I'm TOO innocent :o( I know that I am intelligent but, sometimes my good nature clouds my judgement. TODAY was an eyeopener. I generally ignore rude and inconsiderate ppl no matter who they maybe. On the other hand, It feels good to feel useful and st that point appreciated not just for what I can do for people but also, for being accepted for the kind and loving person that I am. TODAY I made the mistake of attending an open outpatient forum and
my phone ended up in someone else's hands (I was asking about memory).
I Genuinely saw no problem until the individual retrieved my number and IMMEDIATELY after outpatient, began texting me :o/
"I would treat you like a princess" "you're so kind" "you're a knock out" "I care about you" "I want to be there for you" "don't shut me out". YIKES I'm not responding but it made me REALLY nervous (as usually Ms. Bad nerves) suggestions? Unfortunately a lot of the general tactics may not be useful dealing with certain ppl in such "unique" states of mind. My fault I shouldn't have gone. :o(
:o( feedback I've gotten, approach administration on the unit, change my number, which I REALLY DON'T want to, or block the number. Unfortunately none of these solves the problem that it's inevitalbe to run into this other patient :o( My friend Jason wants this guys number to call him an tell him back off :o/
if u do see him, just act like u don't know what he's talking about and tell him your phone doesn't get texts. i guess it's lying, but in the case of dealing with a lunatic i don't see a problem with it.
HECK YEAH! I mean, I hope he gets help and all but, what can I say? It actually came in handy being tiny though. Two other patients, picked up on his obvious weird factor and literally body guarded me.
Nothing a drop kick to the throat won't fix. lol...
why hallo eZabel... i miss you.
hello to you!
HAY PPL SENT A MASS TEXT AND MADE A FEW CALLS LAST CALL MID TO LATE JULY BOSTON TRIPPIN' ME MY FRIEND COURT AND A FEW OTHERS :Op CONTACT IF IN**

Hi guys!!! Hope everyone's enjoying the three day weekend :)
I know some of us had convention this wknd so that was an added bonus!
Hard to believe it's already time to break out the two piece and hit the beach. Can't wait for beach volleyball (except NO imitations) and rockin out to the ipod in the sand and sun :D
Maybe some of us will catch up on @ Island Beach 'til then...
**Big Hugs*

"give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. don't teach a man to fish, and you feed yourself. he's a grown man. fishing isn't that hard."
has anyone ever rented a car in europe before? any suggestions or bad experiences?
dad has rented several times with Sixt and we have not had any bad experiences. do you need to know anything specifically?
well we're going to italy and we need to rent a car. i want to get a decent deal but i'm just afraid of getting ripped off. thanks for the recommendation
That's the country he used Sixt in. Pricing, quality, reliability all top notch.
thanks for the tip... i just booked it.
I just got called sir on the phone. ROAR!

I had surgery in my nose last week. I was so furious that I forgot that though. Darn my unisex name!

new video: 25 Hour Energy
a spoof of a commercial that can be found here:
http://www.5hourenergy.com/commercials.asp (the 2nd one)
funny! I especially like the speedy disclaimer at the end.
lol... that was good
haha, so funny. i thought the pulled faces at the end of each scene was funny, but that got ratcheted up to hilarious after i watched the original video.
lol
I saw the real commercial the other day for the first time. Very good acting Matt. You got the guys facial features down well.
Google is Topeka now? ghey!
Its an April Fools joke...
d'oh!
Wow... how I have missed eZa... err umm RedSweater. I cant believe how Facebook and Twitter seem to be off shoots of this site. I feel like I have been posting random comments on the net for over a decade now and just realized that most of the comments that I recall are all listed on here and not on Facebook or Twitter... Ian you could have retired already if you just patented this site.
some snowboarding vids from our recent trip to Whiteface Mountain in upstate NY.
cool! who all went up?
i went up, and im the most important EEEAANNN
If by important, you mean most important GAY man... then you are correct!
We had a pretty big group. I think this is everyone:
Jesse and Caitlyn Tamburri
Pat and Darcy Tamburri and their 2 sons
Nicole Tamburri
Roy and Dawn
Jordan Claughburg and his fiance
Roy's sister
Matt and Angela Kelly
Alex Kelly
Chase and Rachel Madison
Brandon and Jamie Zabel
Dan Dodd
Mikey Schiano
Josh Gilmour
Tim Meckes
me
Andrew and Janine met up with us later with their friend Ave
Wow! That's a huge group! Sounds like it was a lot of fun.
Hey, did you move yet?
didn't have to. Jehovah really came through for us on that one.
We had to move because we couldn't get Matt's former roommate to sign the lease papers....plus that wouldn't have been exactly honest. If I signed the lease papers with Matt, we'd have to renegotiate the lease, and Matt and his wife would have to renegotiate again once I left. Understandably too much of a pain to pursue. So, Matt checked out this place in Stanhope and signed the lease to the new place (that I didn't want to move to, because it was too pricey, and had a weird layout). He spoke to his wife on that friday. She expressed the same concerns as me, so they prayed about it, and he called King's Village. King's allowed him to sign the lease himself without renegotiating the price and without his former roommate's signature. Then the next day the land lord of the new place called and said he couldn't have the apartment anymore because the girls living there can't move out now. So he was out of the lease, and we're back to just living where we've been living. No move necessary! Thanks to Jehovah.
musings = the original tweets
dude, you're right! that's exactly what i originally envisioned.
i'm a horrible entrepreneur. :(
Never FULLY grasped or appreciated that accronym ICU, almost a month and three days later BOY DO I EVER! VERY INTENSIVE! First time hospital stay going from an evening consultation to being 20+ days= A BIG **YUCK** and i[hopefully]/i *NEVER AGAIN* Missed most of all: Meetings, service, friends+family, cell, internet!!!
whoa! what happened? are you ok?
I'm out so I'm good, thanks! I keep expecting to wake up back there. Only mildly traumatized. I went to the ER thinking "At least I'll sleep in my own bed tonight", ha! 20+ days and 4 roommates later, can't help but laugh.
Glad to be home. I just can't believe in all my 25 years IIIIII--had to be in the hospital, it was a wild ride. There truly are right and wrong words and phrases, say the wrong thing (even the truth) and doctors shift into overdrive.
i'm glad you're doing better, i'm sorry that happened to you!
Thanks Matt! Outpatient treatment I find slightly intimidating too but, I'm going at my own pace so things should be better soon :D
Now if only the sun would send us some warmer rays...:)
Cowboy Keith from Jersey Shore is on my softball team.
I miss the good ole days of drama on this site. Alas... Those days are over. My days are incomplete now. lol
don't start nothin won't be nothin
No one cares anymore. Everyone is old and into knitting now.
rush has to be the worst band i have ever heard. seriously, they have no musical skills or talent and that singer SUCKS!!!!
First of all... YOU SUCK!! Second of all, punk is junk!! hahaha
so this year i actually finished the rpm challenge!!!
Basically the challenge is to write and record 10 songs in the month of February. I've tried a few times since 2007 but never finished. This year I did! Here is my work:
http://www.rpmchallenge.com/component/option,com_comprofiler/task,userProfile/user,2124/Itemid,296/
Most of the songs are short because it is hard to write that many songs in just one month!! I don't like all of them, and I think a lot of them have potential to be better, but it really was awesome and opens you up creatively. I encourage any musicians to try it, you will definitely improve your musical ability. (my favorite songs are My Generation and Tripping Up)
this is how i picture former ezabeler brother:
Wow... that was painful. Couldn't watch the whole thing... A 400 pounder with a Daffy Duck lisp.... This guy must get tormented all the time.
anyone have an old verizon phone they want to get rid of? mikayla needs a new one. people are making fun of hers!
anyone good with Microsoft Access? I'm trying to build a database and I'm way outta practice.
This is like the first post in a week. LOL... Sorry, don't know Access well. I only do basic stuff on it.
It's pretty pathetic!
i'm not! sorry
YO! Ian! Are you into Caprica?!?! I have never seen Battlestar Galactica but i want to now. This show is awesome.
ughhhhhhh i am just giving into the nerdery
oh snap! i haven't watched it yet. i saw that it was on but i totally forgot to set it up to record.
it's good??
you should watch the BSG Mini series that kicked off the series. Amazing!
Well, they are playing the first 3 episodes like every 3 hours, so I got my TiVo all set.
Will report back!
BSG is totally worth the rental, Kammers. the end was kind of a let down for me. I wanted it to keep going.
Ice Skating in the city... into it?
ian i'm interested, but I want to know if I can bring anyone
yeah, def dude! it's a public place. bring a full car if you want!
Fix this site....
i have some ideas brewing. as soon as I get settled and actually have a computer at my new apartment, I'm planning on doing some programming
Nice!
we are trying to figure out if we're gonna be able to make it. thanks for the invite!
Just reading this now. OUCH.. missed it ..and I could've walked to it
oh well. it was fun! we had 7 people come. i'm pretty bad at ice skating.
I haven't done it in ages, & never in NYC! Always wanted to in NYC! Live here now, and still haven't! I need to make it a point to in March. Have you seen the Tim Burton MoMA exhibit? I need to get to that as well.
oh, neat, i hadn't heard about that exhibit. we also want to check out the Da Vinci exhibit at the Discovery place near Times Square.
i took lauren to see the titanic exhibit there and she LOVED it. tons of brownie points for that one :)
Burton exhibit I recently heard is only staying til April 20th. Titanic is still around? Haven't heard of the Da Vinci. I'll have to see all 3 of these.
Ian, now that you have a 30 second commute... Fix this site! You have plenty of time now! LOL!
+1
now that I live in the Bible belt, I see a lot more church signs such as: "this church has prayer conditioning" or "vitamin for Christians - B1"
There's one in Hackettstown that uses movies in their sign slogans.
wow that is literally advertising! one town over from me they "advertise" a kanye west singer.
I miss you eZabel....
ezabel/redsweater is officially dead...

Time to retire this site. It's like an old man that's had a stroke and can no longer function properly.
If anyone is interested there's a group of us heading to ice skating and dinner in Philly Sat. evening. Msg me for more info and if you'd like to meet up with us email lima84@cutey.com :o)
UPDATE: There will also be a bonfire afterwards, should be nice!
Morning dudes and dudettes!
It's freezing!

Sounds nice! Where are you guys? I'll be heading for sun+surf next month :)
