Blonde Rock.  Ya, it's a weird name.  No, it absolutely has nothing to do with geological items or rock and roll.  For that matter, it has nothing to do with blondes or the color yellow even.  In fact, Blonde Rock has nothing to do with anything, other than that blue guy with the fukt hat is, in fact, Blonde Rock.  So, now you know who Blonde Rock is, but what is Blonde Rock?  Why is Blonde Rock?  That my precious surfers, is exactly what you'll find out if you have the patience to actually use that misguided part of you called your brain and read.
 

History: How it all started

    All right, with a kick ass original like that, I know you're expecting a glorious story of the huge think tank and the ideology behind Blonde Rock and his issues.  Well, I'm sorry to disappoint you, but it wasn't quite like that.  You see, it was more like this.  One day me (Jesse) and Scott were sitting in my house, just talking.  We started bitching about taxes, the government in general, prisons, and everything else that sucks and is out of our control.  The more we talked, the more we wanted to do something with our ideas and opinions, and we thought, man, what better and more fun than a second civil war!
    Unfortunately, Scott had left his bazooka and grenade launcher in his Sherman tank, at his house, and my uzi alone wasn't going to do anything except scare a few postal workers, so we figured we'd do a web page instead.  We went and signed up for this space on Fortune City (100 MB FREE!) (k. that's the extent of my advertising) and thought great!  Now we've got some building space.  Then we looked at our address.  Hmm, we said.  http://www.fortunecity.com/victorian/kapoor/139/index.htm really isn't going to cut it.  Can you imagine?  "Hey man, check out my web site.  The address is http://www.fortunecity.com/victorian/kapoor/139/index.htm, don't forget!  Well, we decided to sign up for a wonderful V3 redirect address.  Course, that meant that we also had to come up with a cool catchy name for our site.  Now, you gotta keep in mind that we got around to doing this at about three in the morning, so we had pretty well slammed that slap happy silly stage of tiredness smack in the face.  Our first choice was http://come.to/butthead.  That idea cracked us up for a good half hour.  "Hey, check out my site! the address is come....to Butthead!  Finally, we went to submit our great new address, and guess what.  Some dork in California has it.  His site consists of his name and three entirely dead text links.  Great site, make sure you check it out.  Well, after that we tried gazillions of cool names, all of which were taken of course.  Finally, in a fit of frustration, we picked up the nearest magazine, which happened to be a Rolling Stone, flipped to a random page and pointed twice.  Blonde Rock was the result.  Thank you Rolling Stone.
    Well, that pretty much covers the history of the name, the image of Blonde Rock came a little later when we decide to make Blonde Rock a comic book character.  This drawing of Blonde is actually a construction paper and colored pencil creation by Scott, done way before we had ever thought of Blonde Rock.  This collage/drawing managed to fit the character we were thinking of perfectly, so we went with it.  And that's the history of the image.
 

The Future: Where it's all going

    Man, I'm just bristling with originality tonight.  Anyways, the future.  If all goes as planned (god knows it never does...) we're figuring on having a comic strip using Blonde Rock as the main character (of course) and updating it monthly, maybe weekly, with a new five frame strip.  Blonde will discuss issues of politics as seen by me and Scott, make fun of those cool people that wear Tommy and Abercrombie shit, dis SUV's, promote new taxation plans and bitch about TV programming.  We also plan on promoting discovery of self, meditation, self-hypnosis, and a few other terrible new age things.  However, everything I just said could be wrong, we'll just have to wait and see.   In the meantime, keep checking back, I'll try and work on this page as much as I can, but the fall semester just started so things could move a little slow.  If I really seem to be slacking and you're just dying for new material, email us at the link found below.
 


BLONDE ROCK UPDATE

    Ok.  Everything I just said (like three months ago) is wrong.  The entire mission statement of this site has just changed!  No longer will we be bitching and whining about things out of our control, as much as we like to do that.  What we will be doing is collecting and displaying amateur works of art.  This includes (but is not limited to) literature (short stories, poems, essays, novels, etc.) art (painting, mixed media, sculpture, pottery, drawing, and anything else along those lines) and music (uhm, Houston, we have a problem.) ok.  eventually music.  Blonde Rock will have music as soon as I figure out how (and have enough money) to stream Real Audio and/or post MP3 files.  that will probably be awhile.  as far as the other categories go though, I have a total of seven people bitching at me to get their stuff up, so you will definitely be seeing some bad ass artwork here soon.  In the meantime, I've implemented this handy little navigating tool below.  It will be on every page of the site and will always be the same.  So, if you get lost, just click on Blonde Rock's head to take you home. If you get pissed at us, click on email to send us some.  And so on and so forth.  Well, that's about what we have 'planned' so far, so check back often (if anyone even reads this that is...) and catch the changes.  later on.
 

Update Two.

    First and best of all, Blonde Rock is now a real web site!  No more uncool redirects for this site!  Our new (and extremely awesome) address is www.blonderock.com, paid for with money out of my own damn pocket, so you better enjoy typing that!  In fact, you better not even bookmark this page.  I expect you to type www.blonderock.com each and every time you visit this site!  I'm serious!!!  In other news, the official Blonde Rock Font has changed from the ever sexy variable width shit (seen above) to this very cool Arial.  And I think that's about it for now.  I was thinking there was something else.  Hmm.  Uh, I'm still looking for contributors to all categories, so if you're good at any kind of art and would like to display it on the wonderful world wide web, contact me ([email protected], [email protected], or [email protected]) and we'll work something out.  Things appear to be approximately on schedule, and if all keeps going well, mid June should definitely reveal a rough site.  Oh yea, I updated the nav bar too.  3 out of 4 college students say it's much cooler now.
