I challenge all of you to create a YouTube account. After you create an account, proceed to go to every single beatles video, or at least hit the major ones. Then comment something like "These guys are almost as good as the Jonas Brothers."
Hah, I was just watching some Beatles on YouTube, and noticed that some musically hindered members were comparing the Jonas Brothers to the Beatles. The Jonas Brothers have some sort of look that inspires varied shrieks from young teenage girls, but they lack talent. I just think its funny how people say that. And someone I quote their comment said "almost as good as the jonas brothers."
I got a kick out of it because you can tell the Jonas Brothers emulate the Beatles and are definitely trying to surpass them in some way. Just because you have fans, doesn't mean you're good.

Some People Learn it in the Schools
Every year since the sixth grade has been the same. My grades start out somewhat poor, then decrease as the year goes on. I wish grades didn't exist, they are supremely indescriptive of any individual. Grades represent how well your robot mind has been programmed to submit to the squeemish authority of our society.
I do not like homework, it is consuming and not very worthwhile. I'd rather just study what I want to sudy, like Theology and Music and Writing. Learning would be much more successful if we could just choose what we want to study and focus in on it.
I guess that would be college. Although, highschool is supremely lame, how am I going to make it to college? I blame it all on homework. A cancer of the creative mind. The task that rots away my day with apprehension. I don't want to do it at all, but I know that I must to "succeed." So the result is a very poor grade average. For several weeks I may focus very finely on schoolwork, then I get very fed up and let a couple assignments go by. The result is a blemished letter stamped onto my report card. Although I am capable of doing quality work, the same mind crusing gear grinding day by day assignments that consume any and all free time is quite a terrible thing.
If I were to do every homework assignment to get good grades, I feel that I would be missing out on more important things and my life would be supremely stressful. It would just be school, homework, my job, and poor sleep. I would become a robot soon to meltdown under the pressure brought on by the fat rats at the head of our society.
I do not like homework, I do not like grades. Neither represent or enhance my individual mind.

Music Theory
Not everything that's good has to be fun right? I am really interested and greatly intrigued by the depth of music theory. It seems like such a puzzling, yet useful skill. Hopefully it will sometime prove rewarding as a musician. So far I am just brushing up on music theory using some recommended websites from my friend and guitar teacher. It's definitely something I think will keep me busy for the rest of my life as long as I'm willing to learn.
Sweater Vest
Last night I purchased a brown sweater vest accompanied by a plaid blue, brown and white long sleeve. I am very excited because I am going to try the sweater vest look for the first time this morning at church. Wish me luck.

Short Story
One small step for Ben, one giant leap for mankind. That would be one way to describe the creation of that which is my short story. It was really easy, being that I am great at everything. I'm going to name my publishing label "River" because I flow so naturally and the nearby villagers feed off of my generosity. The easiest parts of writing my story were the beginning, middle, and end. I know you'll enjoy my story so you don't need to comment this blog. Wouldn't want to crash the Blogger.com server with my imminent flood of fans.
Thank you, no really thank you reader, for selfishly indulging yourself in my amazing piece of work.
The One and Only,
