Westboro Baptist Church "Thanks God" for Sichuan Earthquake 2008-05-17 16:04:00 I believe most people have heard about the earthquake in Sichuan Province, China. The death toll is climbing higher and higher like an elevator in the Empire State Building. But you may not have heard that a group called the Westboro BaptistChurch
actually thanks God for this earthquake. They condemn China on "ancestor worship crap and other heathen religions", and they believe that God sent the

Glamorous Indie Rock & Roll: 2008-05-17 13:55:00 You remember that Olivia Ruiz post? Remember I said that The Killers would be another blog post? Well, this is that post, and there'll be many more to come about The Killers.
Well, the first time I heard The Killers was a few years ago. They had just come out with their second album, Sam's Town. Every song I listened to by them was amazing. The beat, the melody, everything about it. Even the

The Gorgeous Tiny Chicken Machine 2008-05-17 11:38:00 Why should I? What is it about? My dad and sister still urged me to watch the video on YouTube. I stared at the movie blankly, not knowing what to say after I watched it. I just said, "Wow." A perky Kiko starts the show saying that she wants to interview a paleontologist. She performs Pee-Wee Herman stunts and sings a quirky song during the Japanese game show-inspired film. I'm not sure if it

UPDATE 2008-05-16 20:39:00 Here's the new music video for Violet Hill, the song I wrote about a few days ago.
*SARCASM ALERT* I'm sure there's some hidden meaning from the magnifying glass or the snow he was walking on, but I'm not sure what it is.
Thank you for taking the time to read my blog. I hope you enjoyed it. If you have any feedback on my posts that you would like to share with me, please comment my blog. Also,
Serendipity: A Fortunate Accident 2008-05-16 17:44:00 "Come watch it," my mom said. I hesitantly agreed. Ughh... It's another romantic comedy, I thought. Where the perfect guy gets the perfect girl, romantically get married, and then live happily ever after. But how could I say no to my mom? I positioned myself on the sofa and waited for the tell-tale signs of a happy ending.
The movie starts in a busy shopping center in New York City. The camera
Quijote: Rock Out en Español 2008-05-15 11:20:00 A year ago, something caught my eye. I was browsing Yahoo! Music for some music videos, and a banner at the bottom of the page flashed The Killers and then Olivia Ruiz. I was perplexed. Was this Olivia being killed by the Killers? Or maybe Olivia was a killer.
I found out that Olivia Ruiz was a singer. (So were the Killers, but that's another blog entry.) I searched for her name on Wikipedia,
Blog Update 2008-05-14 16:09:00 I've been searching other people's blogs to get some ideas for my own. Since my blog is, I guess, classified as a personal blog, I decided to start there.
The first thing I realized is my layout's utter lack of personality. I picked my layout because it was the first on the list. With some tweaking of the colors, I arrived at my current layout. I guess I need to research on how to change my

Shaky Legs and Unfamiliar Faces 2008-05-12 21:36:00 My day started with an early awakening. My cellphone woke me up at 6:00am today because I was going on a school trip with Peer Leaders, some leadership group that I'm in that helps with school activities blah blah blah. (Everyone is in it because it goes great with valedictorian and Peace Corps volunteer on résumés.) The trip's itinerary includes a stop at Chik-fil-a and Niyélo activities.

UpDown: If Investors Controlled MySpace 2008-05-12 03:34:00 I don't know why UpDown isn't more popular. First of all, the world is obsessed with "social networking" sites that help people meet and interact with other people: a bar for people who don't want to get up from their desk. Sending messages. Joining groups. Editing your profile. All these things were added to the ever-growing dictionary of Computer English since social networking sites were

Violet Hill: A Rougher Coldplay 2008-05-11 20:31:00 I love this song. It's was two weeks ago when Violet Hill was free to download, and I'm still not over it.
It was April 27th. A mysterious bulletin was posted by Coldplay. A new song, Violet Hill, will be available to download at coldplay.com.
Already? I asked myself. I'm still mesmerized by the soothing and sweeping ballads of X&Y. Is it time for another Coldplay album?
Two days later, I was
Ode to MySpace 2008-05-11 12:02:00 Well, for my first real post, I decided to post a poem I wrote for my Language Arts class. I think that this is more of a comical look at the stereotypical MySpace
addict complete with really bad typos than a simple poem. I'm sure people who have a MySpace or know about MySpace will understand my poem. My classmates have given me positive review of my poem, and I'd like to see who else likes it.
First Post 2008-05-11 11:30:00 By the time you or anyone reads this, I will have probably already lost interest in writing my blog. But I'll start with the introduction anyways.
Hi. My name is Ethan Smith, and I've decided to write a blog. I don't know why I want a blog, but I guess I just need a place to share my ideas, complain about hardships, or write about life. Well, I guess that's it. If you have tips for a newbie

The Joy Luck Club: It's a Tearjerker! 2008-05-18 14:41:00 Hmmm... I said to myself. I looked at the bookshelf. Picking a book to read isn't easy, you know. The Joy Luck Club it read. The colorful spine caught my eye.
I wonder what this is about. I plucked the book off the shelf and started to read.
The book has eight main characters: four mothers and four daughters. The book is divided into four sections. Each of the four sections has four short
Chelsea Dagger: How to Pick up a Hooker 2008-05-19 20:04:00 Play it again! My friend exclaimed. I reluctantly agreed. Ever since the shuffle feature of my music player landed on ChelseaDagger
, he's been telling me to play it over and over again. But who could blame him? It's an awesome song, you know.
The song starts upbeat as a drum/bass combo chanting a beat together. An electric guitar cuts in and plays some of the melody. Voices come in and chant

Recapturing the Vibe: What's Australian Music? 2008-05-21 13:20:00 I was browsing the list on Google Music
Trends. It lists the songs that people listen to the most using Google Talk. (Google canceled it though.) I wonder what bands I haven't heard about yet. I thought. Then I saw a drop-down list in the top right-hand corner of the screen. United States, it read. I clicked the menu to see what other unknown things I could select. Australia. Hmmmm... How exotic.

Seeing is Believing 2008-05-21 05:20:00 Ok, what you do is watch the video. Listen to what he is saying. "Da, da, da". Right? Ok, now listen to the video with your eyes closed. Hear anything different? "Ba, ba, ba".
Are you confused? So was I, so I'll explain to you what is happening. The guy is actually saying "ga, ga, ga", but is recorded over by the guy saying "ba, ba, ba". Since you see "ga, ga, ga" and hear "ba, ba, ba", your

China Celebrates Its Status as World's Number One Air Polluter 2008-05-20 15:56:00 The Onion News Network. Where else? The Onion has been making people laugh so hard they pee in their pants since it started. The news that they report seems so real, I almost believed them when I saw this title.
The video is a mock news report on a special UN report of the world's top air polluters. It was found that China
is the top air polluter in the world. The representative was interviewed

OMGZZ!~! ITS' TEH GUILD! 2008-05-20 06:37:00 Finally!! It's here! The new episode has finally come out!
For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, The Guild is a web video series about a Guild and their lives. (A guild is a video gaming word, mostly World of Warcraft, that is used to describe a group of people who join together to work on things that cannot be finished by yourself. Basically, if you don't play World of
Omniglot: All Languages 2008-05-22 20:20:00 Since I am mixed, I'm exposed to both of my parents cultures. Both of them are extremely different, the other sides of the world different. My mom is from China while my dad is from the US. And of course there are many differences: history, food, and especially languages. And because I am mixed, I'd like to learn both of my parents languages, or any language for that matter. I know English

São Paolo: Another Melting Pot 2008-05-22 16:29:00 I was watching Passport to Latin America yesterday on the Travel Channel. The city for today was São Paolo
. Samantha Brown artfully took me and other viewers around the largest city in the southern hemisphere. She explained the cuisine, the places to stay, how to get around, everything about the city, in that quirky way only a comedian can.
What I was interested most about São Paolo, and Brazi
Lake Lanier: Where Did It Go? 2008-05-24 09:12:00 The people around Lake Lanier check the news for the water levels everyday. It's almost a daily ritual for these Georgians. You go to the local news channel, check the Army Corps of Engineer's website for the levels, or just gossip about it with your neighbor. Record-low water levels have been listed as over twenty feet below a normal level last November and December. Only since February has the
School's Out! 2008-05-23 15:15:00 Finally! The moment has finally come for all students at my school. At 4:15, students will be pouring out of classrooms, flooding the hallways, rushing to the buses, and leaving school for the last time until next August when school starts again. And since I'm in 8th grade, it will be my last time forever in that middle school.
The last day of school is always the longest. The hour-long bus

My Alaskan Cruise 2008-05-26 05:27:00 I had to wake up so early this morning. My family and I are going to Alaska. The flight leaves at 11am, but my dad woke me up at 6am just to get ready.
I know I will take lots of pictures and put them on my blog. My personal blog will turn into a travel/photo blog for the time. I'm not sure if I'll be able to post any during the trip, but I'll post whenever I get the chance.

Anthem: How to Write a Song 2008-05-24 16:07:00 This song is so underrated. Shadowed by the famous California, Phantom Planet's Anthem should get more credit as a good song. Ever since the O.C. used California as its theme song, Anthem has been forgotten.
The song starts out strange to me, a violin/guitar/drum combo repeat a rhythm that make your head rock like a metronome. The singer, Alex Greenwald, smoothly starts the first verse. He

Arriving at Anchorage, Alaska 2008-05-26 23:13:00 Well, this is pretty good. My parents said. Instead of going on Sunday, we decided to go to Alaska
on Memorial Day. The airport is so empty. They said. The trip to Alaska includes a stop in Seattle, WA.
So we drove to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, waited for a while, and then boarded to plane. Since the flight was very last-minute, my family got split up into different rows,

Sabotage: Rap and Rock Rolled into One 2008-05-29 16:36:00 I went to my friend's house a few months ago. He had the latest Guitar Hero, Guitar Hero III. He googled Guitar Hero cheat codes and put in the code to unlock all the songs. I went through the list to see what songs I knew, the ones I could play on Easy. I tried playing Through the Fire and Flames, but my fingers got tangled in the mish-mash of the buttons on the conveyor belt. I then scrolled
Internet in Alaska 2008-05-30 15:39:00 Here I am, sitting in the Hilton Garden Inn in Anchorage. No internet. How depressing? I have to sit and make a Word document instead and post it when I get an internet connection. Since the hotel resets the code every so often, I have to call the front desk again and again so I don’t breakdown. When I was in Healy, in our rented cabin, there wasn’t a glimmer of wi-fi.

Denali National Park: The Big One 2008-05-30 11:00:00 This was a big one. Big size, big reputation, big experiences. This national park is on the top of my list of places to go. So my family and I went to Denali National
Park.
Ten minutes outside of Healy, south of a big resort stop for Princess Cruises, is Denali National Park. It's the closest thing to Alaskan wilderness that most people will ever get. Famous for its breathtaking views and
