Some Thing to Ponder № 1

When the light angles just right during the morning as the sun rises over the mountains, it will filter through the peephole in our back door and make a circle of light on the back wall. If you stand and gaze into the light, it looks like a star.
Observe:

 
I’m not sure that the sun [...]

An English Freak, and Happy to Say So

 
My status was “250,000 words in as many divided by 35,710.4285714 days.” It sparked this conversation. As you can see, I’m not only a computer nerd, but perhaps an even bigger nerd when it comes to English and writing.

Gus: As many what?
 me: Days?
 Gus: that sentence doesn’t really make sense, but okay. :P
me: 250,000/35,710.4285714 days.
 Gus: Ah.
 me: *sigh* Must [...]

Moneys and Edification

Moneys are a curse upon mankind. They ruin more than just Jane Austen’s potential happy life (the potential died for the sake of money, and her life was depressing). They ruin my life, too.
Rather, the lack of them.
I’m doing well enough without them, but at the sacrifice of several common commodities, savings, and indulgences:

The use [...]

Revolution

I’ve decided that both Barack Obama and John McCain are dimwits, and choosing either is the worst decision for the United States of America. Therefore I propose that we as the people of Utah secede from the Union– or rather we kick the other 49 (or however many states don’t join us) states out of [...]

Need to Be

There is something I need to be. Now. Not in the future. I have plenty to be in the future.
But what am I now? Can I attain some of those future conquests now? Or is there something I am missing entirely?
I know what I want to be.
Is there something I need to be?
Is [...]

Soul Takes a Trip to the Beyond

Jordan: Welcome, Sid.
Gus: Thank you, Soul.
How was your trip?
To the beyond?
Jordan: It was a little chilly. I liked it, though. Aside from the crowds of moaning people who asked me for a ride on the way. Some people fall off of their transport units and therefore can’t go further. They just rot in the middle [...]

Enlightenment!

I feel to write… something! Something inside of me, something inspiring, something that causes music to be written and wars to be won– something– itching to get out. Yet I don’t know what it is. And so I can’t write it. Not in English, anyway. Oh, how I love English! I only wish there [...]

Busy & Tradition

My monitors looked like this just a few minutes ago– it made me really happy! And feel really special. :)

Humans are funny. I give you one reason out of many:
We go in hordes to special areas and exchange slips of paper for a traditional orange food, we cart the food to our dwellings sitting [...]

Monday in the Park With Julie

Today I decided to take Julie for a walk. Not just any old walk, mind you– a walk to take pictures of Fall. We went about snapping various photos, and hopefully some of them turned out at least half as well as the actual scene looked. You may see them at my Picasa picture spot [...]

Don’t Listen to Nobody

Nobody will usually come to talk to you when nobody else is around. He may seem friendly, especially because you’re alone, and especially if you’re not too happy with life at the moment, but really he’s just out to bring you down.
He’ll probably start the conversation out with, “Hey, Jordan. How are things?”
And you’ll [...]

Watch Pot

Ever heard the old adage “a watch pot never boils?” This means that when you want to boil water, if you watch it, it’ll never boil. The same goes for mail. If you are expecting a letter and are sitting on the front porch waiting for the post to arrive, it’ll never come. I have [...]

Testimony, 10/08

I remember reading in one of the LDS Church Magazines that if we happen to have a blog, we should publish our testimonies on them. I had thought of doing it half a dozen times before, but I finally took action by inspiration of my amazing Madrigal partner.
I know that Jesus Christ lived, died, and [...]

Musical Vacuum

I was just vacuuming my home, when I found myself singing the notes that the vacuum would make. I’ve done this for years since I worked at West Jordan Middle and spent hours upon hours vacuuming, but only now did I transfer the notes to the piano, and I have found out that my current [...]

What H.G. Wells the Spider Told Me

Today– this evening– several moments ago– a spider– a jumping spider– landed on my arm. He was small– no bigger than the opening of a clickable ballpoint pen, was covered in combed gray and black hair, and had a double-beard that was a slightly lighter tint of gray than his body and leg hair. He [...]
