I've only been on the Internet for less than a year but I've found a ton of really cool sites! Hopefully, these roads will reflect a part of me that will interest you! I'll try to put them in some kind of category so be patient in your search and I hope you'll enjoy these sites as much as I do =)

Concert info (lots of concerts in DC), loyal listener club, 101 songs, info on listening to Georgetown Basketball on the net (not that I'm a basketball fan...I'm an ORIOLES fan), station events, and much more!!
There's only one that can be my favorite so this section is a bit small but still great! If you're an O's fan, you've got to check out this site: Baltimore Orioles ! Even if you're not an O's fan (impossible!) still check it out for some cool stuff! 1998 spring training schedule, regular season schedule, O's merchandise, ticket info, and even a section where you can see the view from where your seats are!! Just click on a section and view Oriole Park at Camden Yards from your seats!!
"You gotta play to win"....yes, it's the Official Maryland Lottery site: Maryland State Lottery ! Now you don't have to be glued to the TV at 8pm for those lotto numbers anymore! You can check previous draws, find out about new scratch off tickets, learn how lottery benefits Marylanders =) , promos and specials, winners, and much more!
If you're looking for a job (what is that?), this page will give you a jumpstart on your search: Maryland's Job Bank ! Also check this page too for your Maryland job search needs: JobFactory Job Search For Maryland ! Yet another source for your MD job search is this page: Maryland Job Locator ! If you don't find it there, you're not destined for a job in Maryland (like me...hehehe ). Good luck on your "job" search!
Hey, read the Baltimore Sun newspaper right online at: SunSpot ! All of the sections just like a regular newspaper except for the coupons and you didn't have to fetch it from the bushes =)

I LOVE this site: The Official Peanuts Home Page !! The Peanuts are my all-time favorite cartoon =) I like their cartoon strips, books, movies, and tv half hour cartoons! My favorite character is Linus...'cause he's so intelligent, cute, lots of cool hair, compassionate, great talker, and I love that blue blanket! If I were to ever get a tattoo, I'd get him with his blanket on my body somewhere...but I won't tell you where =)
Ever wonder why you're so much more emotional during certains times of the month (and it's not PMS)? Or why you did so lousy on a test or presentation because you just didn't seem to be on the ball? Well...it's not because someone put a curse on you (although..hmmm..), it's because of your Biorhythm! Learn more about it and get a FREE chart for the day at: LifeSines ! I've also found a great shareware about Biorhythms too. You can download the program at Winbio for a 30 day trial! It's 655kb zipped!

Wanna find out about your favorite Rock star or group and read articles about them? Check out this site for all your Rock Music info needs: Rocktropolis !

Do you enter a ton of contests, sweepstakes, or anything else that offer CASH prizes? Ever wonder if you'd won but wasn't notified? Well I came across this site which may be helpful: Found Money Homepage ! You go there and enter your name and the computer searches for unclaimed CASH prizes for your name! They will tell you if your name comes up but that's all...you'll have to pay $10.00 to find out anything further. I have an unclaimed cash prize but come on, I'm sure there are other Jean Eng's (it could be possible!) out there and I didn't feel like forking over 10 bucks to find that out....besides, I haven't entered a sweepstake for years =)
Are you crazy about Celebrities (unlike me)? Well, here is an interesting site for looking up your favorite Celebrity home and email addresses: Chip's Celebrity Home and Email Addresses !
No need to wait for Valentine's Day to come around again, send your SWEETHEART a lovely virtual card at Be Mine Greetings ! It's FREE and they have a wonderful selection of cards available! "Awww...aren't your sweet for having thought of it", she'll say!
For all those diehard fans out there of rock music, here is a small list of the many fantastic sites I've visited out there! I'm still in search of them as time permits, so if you know a site that I would absolutely love, email me and let me know!
Alice In Chains Fans, hold on to your seats....this link will jumpstart your way to finding many other great AIC sites!!! It's been awhile since they've cut an album but they are still one of my all time favorites! I don't ever get tired of listening to their music. "Down In A Hole" and "Man In The Box" are two of my all time favorite songs! I absolutely love their music...their lyrics...their guitar sounds...It's like Love At First Sight =) Go check them out at Ultimate Artist: Alice In Chains !! Or you can choose to go straight to their official site !
Branching out a bit to do his own solo gig, Jerry Cantrell's album Boggy Depot is in stores today! I'm listening to it now. I must say...it's not Alice In Chains but it's very nice! Fantastic job, Jerry! "Cut You In" is excellent...but my favorite thus far would have to be "Settling Down" Very nice guitar sounds! Check out Jerry Cantrell's Boggy Depot for all the news on his solo album along with tour info with Metallica! By the way, I just got 4 tickets today for the Metallica concert on July 1 at Merriweather Post Pavillion! I'm coming to see ya Jerry!!
As new bands go, Creed lives up to the hard rock sounds we need more of these days! I saw them at a sold out concert at Bohagers in Baltimore on Monday April 6 and they totally rocked. Seeing them live is definately a difference experience than just listening to their CD: My Own Prison. They are so energetic and their music is so hard...you have to see them live to really know what I'm talking about! I like the song "In America" on that CD 'cause of the message in the song. To find out more about them including their tour dates, check out UBL: Artist Creed for tons of links to many other Creed sites including their official website!
Here's a band that's been around for a long while...and they are still going strong with their newest Album Reload ! YES! It's Metallica and their official site! Go check out some very cool stuff at The Official Metallica Site and learn a bit about them! Have I mentioned that I'm going to see them in July? =)) I'm a bit excited, in case you couldn't tell =)))))
When I was telling a friend of mine about the concert I went to on March 23 at Michael's 8th Avenue, he said to me, "I didn't know Megadeth was still together!" Whaaaaaaat? Come on now...it's MEGADETH! Long hair and all, their Newest Album Cryptic Writings has some very cool tunes....I must confess, I haven't bought their CD yet =( but I did walk around with it in my hands debating on whether to purchase it right there and then or wait a few more days...guess I'm growing out of my impulsiveness..hehe..hey, the stores ain't closed yet! Well...you can check out some awesome stuff at their website...it's worth the trip to Megadeth's Home On The Internet ! There is a link on their website about Ozzfest '98. That sounds like it's going to be an awesome show but my funds are a bit limited after the Metallica tickets...plus the closest show is either in New Jersey or in Pennsylvania. We'll see what happens!
I am starting to see a pattern here with me and these groups! I mean...look at their website and look at mine....I've always liked the dark...the night time. My website makes me feel like I'm hidden in a corner or something....maybe that's why hardly anyone comes here anymore since I've moved. I know...for someone nick-named "Happie", my website isn't all that cheerful...but it's me...and I'm happie being me =)
Okay, on to my next favorite! How unfortunate for our ears to have had one of the greatest bands split up last year....that's right, I'm talking about Soundgarden! Those musical talents contributed one of my all time favorite songs "Blow Up The Outside World"...pure soundgarden sounds..mmm... Still go and check out their website at Soundgarden: 1984-1997 and read stuff about them that you didn't know before!
Anyone love their local bands that hit it BIG??? Yeah? ME TOO!! Jimmie's Chicken Shack is coming to town for three shows in MAY!!!!! Yippie!!!!! I love this group...and their CD sounds great! Very catchy stuff...nice guitar sounds too! Some songs are a bit deeper than others but totally worth the money for the CD. Other songs are a bit fun! Quite thought provoking and fits in with my moods. Go check out their website Fowl Records Home for concert info and other stuff! Gotta support the local bands even after they've hit it big!! I'll be at the show(s) on saturday, May 23! See ya there!
Construction of more roads are on its way!
