Old School Photoblog: LoopMonkey.com

So this is going to be hard to explain,  When I went to college in 1999 at Penn State I never really found anything to do.  I into punk rock and I dressed like some weird raver/punk/rockabilly mix.  There was almost no punk scene at PSU.  I had only a few friends and I didn’t and still don’t drink.  All there was at school was frat parties.  I hated that shit.  Anyway, one day it was freezing out and my friend Dave and I got on the drunk bus that takes people around the campus late at night so they don’t have to drive home or walk around in the snow.  We just drove it around all night and for some reason we had this stuffed monkey with us.  Cute girls kept talking to us about the monkey and I kept thinking about how I wish I had my camera on me cause so many weird things kept happening.  The next weekend I did it again, and then again and again.  I started this website which is the worse designed and organized website of all time.  I was taking all the photos with my roommates APX camera which no one uses anymore.  It was this really tiny film thing and took horrible pictures.  It was before digital cameras so every week I was developing the film and having the negatives scanned which cost a fortune at the time so I only took one roll a day.  After a few weeks doing it a girl wrote an article on me for the school newspaper.  The Penn State Daily Collegian is not your normal school newspaper.  It is the only local newspaper for all of State College, PA and it has a circulation of about 50k.  Every single student reads this… and the put a HUGE picture of me on the cover.  After that I had people talking to me about my site every single day five times a day.  It was so fucking annoying so I quit.  Some girls even made a documentary film about me which I would kill to get a YouTube version online.  I had my 15 minutes of fame and I hated it.  So that’s that.  But let it be known that I had a photo blog before you did so I win… blah.  Loopmonkey.com is a fucking mess so I uploaded all the photos to DBB.  You can see them here.
