Myspace. The word alone makes me shudder. Myspace.Myspace is like that old box of stale cream puffs sitting in your basement, which may look sickly to eat, but you feel almost forced to give in anyway. Now, I realize this is a poorly-written anology (can you think of a better one?), but in short, Myspace is certainly something revolting; something that I usually try to stay away from.Upon first

I remember finding this great video a few months back, and I thought I'd share it with you. It makes me feel great whenever I watch it. If I ever have disturbing thoughts in my mind, then I just watch this video, and bingo - I feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

I'm still trying to get over how amazing this movie was. What a perfect way to end my Fourth-of-July holiday.I was fortunate to be able to go see it last night, and I'm glad I did. Just about every aspect of this movie - the CGI, the action, and the additional humor - had me enthralled. (Shame on those who don't plan on going to this one! This is something you must experience on the big screen.)I

One thing I've learned about life is that if you worry about something bad happening, then it probably won't happen. (In other cases, it will happen, but you realize everything's alright anyway).As my summer biology class winds to a close, I look forward to days of being with friends and sleeping in. My bedroom window faces the East, and even though the sun blinds my eyes in the late morning,

School ended for me... like, last week. Really, it was nice. I had a jabillion people sign my yearbook, and then I went out to Arby's with some friends. Later that day was a pool party, with food, friends, music, that sort of deal. Gee, I'm grateful for all the friends I've been making and talking to lately. The last day of school was well-spent.What now? I'm actually taking summer biology,

Things have been going fine lately, except...I think my computer is going to crap. Seriously, it's making all these funny, loud noises...in fact, my computer is so loud now, that it's bugging me. I think the fans are about to die, which in turn will cause my whole computer to set on fire and blow up. (Remember, this is my best machine, folks.)Now I really wish I had a new computer.

This is a classic story that I just finished reading in English. If you haven't read it, take a look at the Wikipedia entry, which may convince you to:The novel follows a boy named Jonas through the twelfth year of his life. Jonas' society has eliminated pain and strife by converting to "Sameness", a plan which has also eradicated emotional depth from their lives. Jonas is selected to inherit the

Well, that's it. My experience in performing an all-out musical is over. And man - it was a blast.Seven performances throughout a whole week. Seats sold out at each one. Finally, we exceeded our expectations - many people left with their mouths still hanging open.In case I hadn't mentioned: Yes, we did do a production of High School Musical.

Today I won fifty dollars at the school assembly. It's kind of funny, because that's not something I normally expect to happen. But it did happen, and that's perfectly fine with me.I was getting a drink in the locker room, and as I was walking back to my seat in the gym, the principal had announced my name over the microphone to the assembly. I was already standing up. "Wah? Oh." As the whole

I've been stepping in and out of the world of Linux, but after getting to know the latest version of Ubuntu, I've pretty much ditched Windows for now. My windows XP activation number had expired, Vista doesn't appeal to me at all, and I don't want to blow hundreds of dollars on an operating system anyway.Does this sound like you? Tired of Windows? Then enter the world of Linux.Once upon a time,

Hahah.. err, no. I actually do not spank myself, but you know what? I have a low voice for my young age. A very low voice. Today at school, my friends were coming up with cheesy and immature sentences so I could say them in my movie-announcer voice, like I could make everything sound funny or something.Think I'm over-exaggerating?

Tonight there was a stake dance, just as there usually is from time to time.Keep in mind, I regularly don't go to these shindigs. Why? For the most part, we are required to wear crappy clothing (i.e. collar and tie), and secondly, they never play any cool music (Hah!). On this particular occasion, however, my friends were pressuring me to go, so I did. I must admit: It was worth it.It was a nice,

Today's weather was rather cruel. Fortunately, there were no tsunamis or hurricanes, but gym felt like torture. Of course we happened to be outside, all while there were small chunks of frost driving into my skin, as if the cold and wind chill wasn't bad enough. Nevertheless, I got a good score on the soccer skills test, and I headed back into the school building to avoid the hail.Every single

It's a shame to think about all the old toys stored away in my room - some of them fairly expensive - that were given to me for Christmas in years past. I just realized that one of my biggest ebaying possibilities is my old model train set, which now lies in my large wooden chest. This thing isn't even much of a toy. It's a pricey, to-scale model of a real, modern cargo train that also came with

Sure, I've had time for some Twilight Princess and Super Mario World here and there, but my blog has been neglected.Right off the top of my head, I can tell you that I'm feeling better in terms of social life.

You're in for a special treat, my friends.Last December, the advanced choir at my school sung a neat rendition of "You Raise Me Up" by Josh Groban. Now, it is up on the interwebs for all to see.Just keep in mind that we didn't use a lot of time for practicing, and it was actually recorded early in the morning.

I can't help but feel frustrated in life, simply because there are so many things I want to do.....and so little resources to make these things totally possible.To start off, I want to make a really stylized action-film about a tall brunette chick in a white trench coat who can pull off a bunch of sweet moves a la The Matrix. Additionally, a good fraction of the film would be in French (It would

My web-design skills are still very limited, so I'm still having a hard time getting a decent two-column layout to work in CSS.

As you can see, I have been slacking off. And as you can see, I still haven't added a sidebar to my journal page. Why? Because the fetching HTML "Table" tags won't work in my blogger template. I've tried, and I've tried, and the only thing that a table tag will do is misplace all the text and enlarge it unnecessarily. When I use the tag on a page in my code editor, it works just fine.However,

As you probably noticed, my website has been totally overhauled with a new design and more content (Well... there will be more content eventually).

I can think of a few excellent childhood authors; particularly Roald Dahl and Andrew Clements (although Clements was more of a writer for preteens/young-adults). When it comes to recent readings, notable authors such as Stephen King and even Nancy Farmer (Author of the excellent House of the Scorpion) come to mind.However, just of lately, I have been particularly fond of Dan Brown.

Ever since I bought that Linksys router for my Wii, I thought I'd might as well get a wireless network adapter for my bedroom computer. In the process, I also got rid of that old TV sitting on the table; It was taking up too much space, and I barely watch TV as it is.So there you have it, folks.

This may sound strange, but.. I wish I had a girlfriend. Then again, it probably shouldn't sound strange at all (Wanting a girlfriend is perfectly normal, right?) Either way, if I did happen to have a girlfriend, I would give her a big hug right now. That's how much I really want a hug from someone. Yes, a real person, not that wooden pole in my basement. It's cold and it gives me scratches.One

Today could have been another uneventful twelve hours of holiday break. However, having Kilroy over to hang out always makes things a bit more interesting.We were sitting at the computer (not surprising), and I randomly suggested that we bust out an old LDS video tape and remix it. The tape happened to be collecting dust on the desk, so I picked it up and shoved it into the VCR so I could

This has truly been the best Christmas evar. Do you want to know why?(Click for Larger)It's official. I now own a Wii, one of the sexiest gaming devices ever created.Of course, I could go on about all of the other items I received, but that doesn't matter. The only thing my mind can think about is the Wii.To be general, it was really a great Christmas - even though most of my family members

As I mentioned in my last update, I was gifted an excellent album by Godspeed You Black Emperor.This music... is amazing. Particularly the first track (the album only contains two tracks, although they range around fifteen minutes).How do I explain violently beautiful music such as this? To start off, this genre is usually referred to as post-rock. It largely consists of violins, cellos and

Yeah, that's right; birthday time for me.Actually, I lied. Yesterday (December 19th) was my birthday. But, it's not like I had time to log onto Blogger and share the awesome time and experience I had then, right?To begin, eating lasagna for dinner has pretty much become the de facto on my birthday. The same goes with ice cream cake. Having a variety of extended relatives and family friends over

Today I participated in a progressive dinner of major proportions with the good people from Choir. To explain what a progressive dinner is: We ate soup and salad at one house, went to another house for the main course, and finally another house for dessert.Today was also the day when I discovered that one of my good friends at school has parents with way more money than they need, therefore he

Lunch is the same routine, an everyday event. I shamelessly sit with a clique of guys and girls (who I am commonly around otherwise) at school. Today's routine in particular had a pretty sweet addition.My buddy Spencer handed me someone else's banana, and I think I knew what he wanted me to do with it. I held it up to myself with my hand, dialed a number, and got out of my seat so I could have a

People change. No, not when Aunt Martha says "Oh! Hasn't little Jimmy just grown so much!". I'm talking about people's minds and the way they do things.For me, it is interesting to see my friends evolve; but it is even more interesting to think about how I, myself, have evolved just over the past year or two. The way I write, the way I think, the way I speak, and the way I think before I speak

I hope everyone had an enjoyable Thanksgiving. Today I returned from Washington city, where I had a four-day party with my cousins, aunts, uncles, and immediate family members. Also, if you haven't already, I suggest you go see Deja Vu. It's a fairly brilliant movie with a combination of crime-solving, science fiction, and action.With that said, I'll leave you with a sweet music video from múm,

For the past few days, my mind has been in a deeply confuzzled state. Having so many large thoughts and anticipations in my brain makes me forget about the smaller, more regulated things, such as homework. Fortunately, however, homework hasn't been that much of a problem. Either way, I've been going through a strange series of emotions.One of them seems to be an odd type of depression. This is

In English, we are studying the stories of various gods and goddesses from the Greek and Roman myths, which is fine. I can honestly say that I find them interesting to some extent, perhaps more so than some other subjects.Then last week, the class was handed a large word search with - oh, I don't know - about fifty different names of deities related to mythology.Doing these things has been quite

Time - what is time?It's not a tangible object, nor is it something that we can really alter by any means. I'm not talking about the type of measuring within which we sequence events and quantify the duration of events and the intervals between them.I'm talking about the indefinite continued progress of existence and events in the past, present, and future, regarded as a whole.

My birthday is on December 19th - just six days before Christmas. Therefore, December is the only month when I really get gifts.My mom has already asked me to make a list of things I want, so finally I jumped to it and gladly typed one up.

Today, I finally recieved my Linksys WRT54G wireless router in the mail from Amazon.com. Of course, I immediately began to set it up.The main reason why I bought this is so I could have wireless internet access on my Wii (Nintendo's amazing new video game system) - that is, once I get my hands on one.I can honestly say it was a pain-in-the-butt to get working.

Recently, there's been a shirt from ThinkGeek.com that I've really wanted to get. Stating "I'm blogging this", it may obviously act as an advertisement that I have a blog. Which is good.....however, it would be even better if it stated the actual web address, A-Sauce.Blogspot.com. It got me thinking.. what if I had my blog advertised on my own T-Shirt? Then again, even if I wanted to advertise it

Today, I find myself browsing About.com for one reason or another.One of the first things I notice is a headline that says "Chocolate as Health Food?"From time to time, many of us will glance at a readable news source such as a web site or magazine, and notice a headline with a question mark (?) at the end of it. For example:"Is Alcohol Good for You?""UFO's at the White House?""Is Mr. Rodgers

I speak well, but I'm somewhat shy. I'm not antisocial at all, but I'm quiet most of the time. I'm quite personable/friendly, but I don't often engage in conversations with my friends at school.And for the record, I have completely more advanced/different interests than most other local people my age, yet no one really cares to even know or ask.I will happily talk about most subjects,

As you may have noticed, I have upgraded to Blogger's new beta blogging system.I must say - It is quite impressive.I can say I know quite a bit about ol' HTML over there. Then we have this thing called CSS.. which I know the very basics of, but I never really studied how to change CSS properties and the like.

For the past few days, I have been stressing out over multiple things. I performed at a choir concert last night, with an extensively patriotic theme. What really made me so nervous/hesitant was that I had to stand in front of a large crowd of people and enthusiastically recite the Gettysburg address in it's full form. After practicing and praying, I was able to perfectly give the full speech at

Dreams can be tough to recall. Dreams take up a dominating percentage of an average night's sleep, however we usually can only recall small bits and pieces of the dream after waking up.I cannot recall much of my dream the other night.

I've been bummed for the last few days because of a nasty cold, something awful. Schoolwork and having to prepare for a solo in choir doesn't really help either. Anyway, now that's over with, I thought I'd finally update and post on one of my thoughts.

I decided to go on a walk down to the store. As I sat in my bedroom, I heard my mom yell "I just did something stupid!" In her panicky voice. When something like this happens, I want no part in it, and since I was planning to leave anyway, I walked down to the Super Target.Whenever I go on walks, I think about my life and reflect on any major events that have happened to me in the past few days

Because summer really flies, I see it as that - a long weekend. I think ninth grade will fly by too, as I'm finding it very enjoyable. Oh, wait; did I tell you that I've been back to school since a couple of weeks ago?No, apparently not. I haven't written for a while.As I said, school is back.

Lately I have been playing a lot of Tetris (one of the greatest puzzle games ever) on my old Nintendo Entertainment System (one of the greatest video game systems ever). It doesn't matter whether you're really into puzzle games or not, Tetris is certainly an entertaining and addictive experience.

I recently purchased the Resident Evil Remake, exclusively on GameCube. To make the story simple, you are part of the Raccoon City police department who goes out to the Arclay Mountains - a site of several peoples' disappearances - to investigate. Soon, the team gets trapped in a large, decaying mansion. You play as Chris Redfield or Jill Valentine, and you are forced to fight several zombies and

The truth is, you've always had somewhat of an interest in movie-making. Unfortunately, you're probably never going to learn how to professionally edit those feature-length box office films, so for now you just bust out your deprecated home video camera and film a cheesy spoof with some other teenagers.

I've gotten so used to the drive from my grandpa's house up to my place, I have it pretty much memorized. As I've grown older, I can make time pass easier through the trip by sleeping, reading, or listening to music. It's like going down to St. George isn't even that big of a deal anymore. It's an interesting drive though.People come over to this part of the United States from England, and they

Yes, I decided to start numbering my rants which you probably don't care about. In fact, maybe you're going to send me an email or write a comment asking why anyone cares about my opinions. The thing is, if you don't like my blog, then you can just leave. I honestly have no problem with people ignoring my blog; if you don't want to read it, fine. If you're here because you're bored and have

I went to the library and checked out a book on philosophy, a book on feng shui, a book on extra-sensory-perception, a book on how to draw manga characters and a comic book. The beauty of the library is that you can check out a book even if you're the least bit curious, and end up not reading it without feeling bad. The price is right, so you'd might as well check out as many books as you

Lately I've been really thinking about making a full-length film. Making a movie is not just one of the many things I, err, fantasize about, but it is also something I need to actually start recording ideas on and put on my life's to-do list (which reminds me, I need to create my life's to-do list first).My future film will be of the psychological-horror genre, along with some science fiction and

Three - or I think four - people were hanging out in front of Brian's. A couple girls, a couple dudes. Of course, one of those dudes was Kevin. Dang Kev.. always hanging out with friends. Or girls. Girlfriends? I wish it would rain. He was probably even the only one that talked to me. Too bad it was so dark. But I love the dark... so don't turn on the porch light while I'm enjoying it.   "Hey...

I like my bedroom. I like to keep it tidy and clean.I also like to keep my bedroom window open for fresh air, you know why? Because my bedroom has a really strange smell to it. Most people who enter my room do not notice this, mainly because I have my window wide open all day. Even I eventually can't smell it. But then I'll shut my window at night, go to sleep, and when I wake up, it's there

"Going out" is an interesting phrase. "Going out" is the term that immature junior high students use when someone has a girlfriend or boyfriend. "Going out" doesn't really have much meaning anymore.I won't say that I am "going out" with someone. If I have a girlfriend, then that means I have a girlfriend. If I'm dating her, then I say "I am dating her". I won't say that I am "going out" with

A 14-year old girl and her mother have filed a $30 million lawsuit against the popular social networking site MySpace.com. The 14-year old claims she was abducted and sexually assaulted by a 19-year old man she met on MySpace.com.The suit alleges that because MySpace has no age or identity verification measures in place and does not prevent strangers from contacting users under the age of 16

It's true. We're all a slave to routine. So far, my summer has consisted ofa) Metroid Prime 2: Echoesb) Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Doorc) Sitting at the computer, and checking some of my favorite blogs and forumsd) Barely hanging out with friends.However, Kilroy was over at my house yesterday, which was pretty cool.

While I've been talking about some rather boring crap on my blog earlier, I thought it's time to write something somewhat meaningful and interesting. So before I show you a hilarious Google Video of some guy trying to eat a watermelon as fast as he can, I'm going to write a good few paragraphs in this update. Notice how I use the word "update" instead of "post". I simply hate the word post, don't

We've all probably heard of it by now. You drop a whole roll of mentos into a bottle of diet coke, and you get a considerably tall geyser of soda spurting out of the bottle for a few seconds, as this dude simply demonstrates: These two scientists make it more interesting by creating an incredible multi-fountain entirely of diet coke bottles and mentos.

At some point in our lives, I'm sure all of us have been asked at least once "Who is your hero/idol?". I have a tendancy to jokingly respond with a fictional character such as Mario, Homer Simpson, or Samus Aran. I suppose if I seriously had to pick, it would be Ken Silverman.In fact, there are many things I admire about this person. First of all, he started getting into computers and programming

Oh, wait; how can it be new and improved? If it's new, then there must have been nothing before it. But if it's been improved, then there has to have been something before it.Before I confuse you anymore, let me point out that I have beefed up my blog design (in case you haven't noticed).

Your friends see you as painstaking and fussy. They see you as very cautious, extremely careful, a slow and steady plodder. It'd really surprise them if you ever did something impulsively or on the spur of the moment. They expect you to examine everything carefully from every angle and then usually decide against it.How do People See You?I found this test on Tigerblade's blog, and I'd say it's

Occasionally I see those commercials for old people (especially during "The Price is Right") that advertise for a button that can be worn on a necklace or belt, that when pressed, calls an ambulance or some type of people for assistance. Why would you need this? In case you fell down, of course. I chuckled when I saw old people in the commercial lying face-down on the floor with their hand

I recently returned from my trip to my grandpa's house in St. George. I originally didn't want to, because there is barely anything to do down there and it makes me feel isolated from my friends. But then I guessed I'd might as well go, because beginning this Friday I will be isolated from most of my friends for three months.I did have fun, though. I used to think golf was a boring sport for old

Chris Cunningham is a very inspirational movie director to me. My all-time favorite music videos were made by him with Aphex Twin's Music: Rubber Johnny, and Come to Daddy. Windowlicker is a neat Aphex Twin song, and I don't care for the video that much, but I'll put it on here anyway to show Cunningham's weird style.Warning: Do not watch these videos if you areA goody-goodyA sensitive little

I got back from my grandpa's house yesterday. I enjoy going there for easter, and having easter egg hunts with my little cousin. Anyway, spring break has been nice, and it's back to school tomorrow.

I have some very crazy dreams sometimes; but I believe that almost everyone's dreams are a bit weird. The other night, however, I dreamed that I had a girlfriend. We were in my basement watching a movie.. particularly, we were watching "Splinter Cell", which is funny because Splinter Cell is not actually a movie, but a video game ("Is this Pandora Tomorrow?

Rarely do people comment on this blog, and that is OK too. I've known people who've really tried to get as many comments as they can or complain that their blogs do not have a lot of commentors.

Today I did the unthinkable... perhaps. Every year my school has a contest almost exactlyl like American Idol, where you audition acapella in front of judges, then the semi-finalists sing at lunch, then the finalists sing at the assembly next month. After some hesitation I decided to apply. Whoever gets first place gets the grand prize of fifty dollars. To me, fifty bucks isn't a whole lot, but

One of the presents I recieved for my last birthday was the Friday Night Lights soundtrack. I wanted it just because my favorite band, Explosions in the Sky, played most of the songs for it. Last night I opened up the CD case and took out the slip of folded paper in the front of it (not for the first time). I instantly adored the photography I saw on the inside (click for a larger version).
