Okay.... Just so everyone's clear... 
This video was a test to see if I could post video directly onto my blog. Turns out I can.  End of experiment.  
Next time I'll actually have news... or something...

Well shucks.

Kryn just "noticed" that I hadn't updated my blog in a couple weeks, and what I had updated was virtually meaningless. I agree. In fact, for the longest time, I couldn't even think of a clever enough name for my blog. Kryn has VonGrinner for obvious reasons, Gregan's name is partly built from little geese, which sounds about right for him, I don't understand Jaron's, which is appropriate, and everyone else seems to have very well chosen blog titles. I don't even know who Phineas Jalyper is or where he came from, but I imagine he looks something like the above picture.

This is also kind of bad timing to update a blog, because blogs usually coincide with exciting things in people's lives - what with Panda polls, prestigious university acceptances, and the like. The most recent thing is probably my finishing my first semester at UVU, and more than likely my last. Everything I have accomplished in the time I have studied at UVU spells "do-over". I have discovered that school requires more than just being enrolled. And I think that discovery has really been worth it all.

I did manage to hang on to my major, which has been piano performance. I performed in the recital... and that's about all. There are certain things about the piano I certainly love, but majoring in it is a little too arduous for me. At the end of all your practicing, what have you gained? A couple more songs that you couldn't play before.

So the plan is a film scoring internship. I've already made friends with the film scoring "department" at UVU. (because there isn't really a department. Just a guy that goes cool places and meets cool people who score film.) Also, the LDS Motion Picture Studio has a few things I've written for a film my roommate made and they really liked it. So I'm keeping my fingers crossed there.

Well. In accordance with the latest fad in blogging, I shall now conclude with a ZANY picture and a link to a special preview.

A bit of explanation...

Well everyone...
I completely forgot about the fact that I made this blog a very long time ago, originally to post songs. Phineas Jalyper, as it seems, has attracted some visitors, for which I am flattered. However, this blog is under construction and probably won't focus around film scoring... Nonetheless, I'm very grateful for the two comments I have, irregardless of the fact I have posted nothing. Props to VonGrinner and Gancito. More to come! In the meantime, enjoy the endangered animal of the day to your immediate right.
