Working On The Site

February 28th, 2008

Hey everyone, I didn’t think that the site would be this popular this quickly. Wow, thanks to everyone who’s read a post or two. I even have 3 comments already, in only 3 days. Now, I’m trying to work out a few things. Here’s what’s keeping me busy, after the post is up for the day.

  • There’s a problem with the calender system, Wordpress is saying that I posted only yesterday and today, when I started before then. Nothing big, maybe because Leap Year fooled it?
  • My regular website isn’t supporting my own HTML, so I might have to switch hosts. This wouldn’t be that bad, since there’s a 90 day guarantee, though converting all of my posts could be hard.
  • There’s no one that I really could fall back on if I don’t have the time to post something. I do have one friend who might be able to help, but the best thing would probably be for me to just have some back-up topics.

Well, as you can see, I have a lot to keep me busy, so I’ll keep on trying to keep you entertained!

Just A Quick Question

February 28th, 2008

Hey, wow, it’s my second post of the day. A new record. What I just wanted to ask quickly if the people viewing this like my writing style. I was told that my entries had too many “forced” jokes and was somewhat stupid at times. I know that at the time that I’m writing this, only 4 people have viewed my blog, but that’s how I would become more popular, by getting the stuff out that the people want. This isn’t my only style of writing, I can be more serious and… things. I want to do things that would interest everyone. I’m not trying to be hilarious, just entertaining. So, if you would have the time, please post your opinion about how I’m doing so far by writing a comment. I would like to hear what people think.

Hey everyone, I’ve already been flooded with 1 comment! Wow, it’s already becoming popular. I’ll try to add a little humor, since my last post with so serious. Grrr, I’m a… serious tiger…

So maybe you’re thinking that my life might just be all bland, just because I know more than you about computer technology than some. Well, that’s untrue! Gosh, how could you be so rude. I am deeply offended by that, how could you say such a thing? Let me tell you something, would you call Speed Racer stupid for talking to another bland villain… who looks the same as the rest? No, you wouldn’t think he was stupid for doing that, you would cheer for another episode. It’s the same with me, when I seem nice and mature, my life is wild and crazy. But, as my old, now nursing-home aged teachers used to say, “You kids better show, not tell, or I’ll haunt you from my grave.” Seriously, so let me try to show you, with words, as I normally would.

I do like to say that I am self-conscious. So, when puberty hit, I was hit with a creature growing on my face. In between my eyebrows. It did become pretty noticable, and after a year or so, I was finally able to get my hands on some… over-the-counter products. Oh yeah, scary.

Once I took it out of the bag, I knew it should do the trick. Man, this stuff was heavy duty, defiantly able to fix my extra hair problem. Larger than my palm, and stickier than a sticky dingleberry (something I heard one day when walking from school). Though, maybe it worked too well. It felt like ripping off tape from your little fuzz mustache (I also did shave off that the same day, just for the ladies.) At the most, I got about 50 hairs yanked off in 1 pull with that bad boy. I should enter that in “The Worlds Strongest Man” contest, I’d win undoubtedly.

Anyway, it was the aftermath that hurt the most. For at least a day, I felt a little burning “sensation” on my unibrow section. Then, it became bright red and cracked. Finally, after about a week, and after explaining what happened about 5 times, it became normal again, along with about 10 hairs spurting out.

Maybe this all happened because I used the body wax instead of the facial?

There, I proved it, my life isn’t all that boring. And I’ll tell you more, later. This is the Gaudyspuds Blog, saying good “5:28 Eve” everybody!

I Never Dreamed I’d Make It

February 27th, 2008

Hello to all the first timers who are visiting my site, if you aren’t, you are now. Well, you seem to have found me. First off, hey, if you don’t always want to view the site, Wordpress has a nifty feature that allows my posts to be in a RSS Feed, so you can subscribe at the bottom of the page. Time to begin.

All that has happened in the past week has always just been a fantasy. I’m finally living my dream. I used to wonder for hours how my website would look. Well… there would be a little clock widget at the top, a clock counting down to large events like the ending of school or holidays, and of course, a nice blog for me to post all of my great stories to keep you informed (well, so far I’ve been able to have one of those). But, I just always thought that it would be a dream. Never did I think that I would be able to actually do the beautiful web design that some such as Matt Mullenweg (ma.tt), who uses and helps code Wordpress. Maybe I still can’t live up to what hey does, but I still have beauty within simplicity. Never did I suspect I would able have my own little spot on the web, even if I would have to pay an extra $10 a month to actually post my own code for my regular website (Which I haven’t done yet. Maybe I should switch from this host… 1&1…). So, before I go on, I just want to take the time to say thank you to everyone who was able to help in some way either with helping me code my yet-to-be-seen website, or my blog. The list would be too long, so it would be better if I would just thank them all personally. Anyway, time to talk.

So, a lot has happened. Much has happened with my website and coding, but I wanted to come up with something else to say. This whole experience is so mind blowing, so I don’t really have time to do much yet. I’m really hoping that I’ll be able to update every day, but for now I’ll have to squeeze in posts one by one. Aside from that, I thought to keep you coming, I’d give you a taste of what’s coming up. Here are the topics (These aren’t in any order, they’ll just be sprinkled around. Oh, and some with be series, since they are just so important.);

#1 Synesthesia - I did a whole science fair project (A boring, large project every student is forced to do, though I made mine interesting. Oh, and great, it involves science… Yay?) on this. I don’t want to give anything away, because I worked really hard on it, but if you can’t wait, check out http://wikipedia.com/synesthesia/ for a little extra. All I can say is that it’s a Neurological phenomenon.

#2 My School Life - How things are going at the place I spend over 1/4 of my life at, or about 1,260 hours a year at. Some juicy gossip (Ohmigosh!) and stuff going on with me. Don’t expect me to say I’m going on any dates with any hot babes yet, though I can hope.

#3 Random - I can’t really think of anything else, so the rest is random for now.

Only three tastes, this must have been an expensive meal. Thanks to you for reading, and remember… I’ll later I’ll come up with a catchphrase…
