Alrighty...here we go

Finals.  it's almost over.  Then I can come back with a sweet job, a sweet apartment, and some sweet education to make lots of money.

I freaking love music.  I freaking love playing music and all that.  I really hope that this crazy jazz band I'm in with Brad and Garrett ends up being as sweet as I think it will be.  It's going to be a lot of fun jamming everyday after work and all that.  I guess I should go on some dates this next semester.  I've been rather lazy in pursuing girls for lack of money/desire.  I'll be better I swear!  I'm really just saying this to myself.  

Here I am writing my random thoughts in a blog again and feeling stupid/gay for being a guy who writes a blog. 

Levitate me!

What a gorgeous girl you are.

What do I see!? Just you spilling juice all over me!

I'm about to go to bed.  BUT...the Atonement is real.  My friend Brittany wrote that in her blog and it made me appreciate it so much more.  It is real and the power of helping someone else is so powerful that it can change lives.  How often am I asked to sacrifice for someone else?  Very little...it kinda sucks how little.  I realized it after my teacher made the comment in my class that maybe that's part of the test.  We need to seek out ways to honor Christ's sacrifice for us by actively seeking out ways to feed his sheep.  I need to work on this.

I also realized how much I hate it when I let myself get held up in life by stupid things.  Things being people (me included), preconceived fears, my lazy nature, and whatever else.  Then later on I realize how much time I've wasted.

On another side note I need this accounting test to be over.

Ain't nobody dope as me I'm just so fresh so clean.

Also the song "Ms. Jackson", by Outcast makes me laugh.

If all is true then won't you please run over me.

I am tired today. I dislike accounting. On the verge of hating it.

so please just run over me!

I need to pluck my bass later today. I need a girlfriend to suck my free time away from me. I need an online business. I need to become more in tune with the spirit. I need to make some money. I need to stop hanging out with the same people.

But all I really wanna do is dance.

Levitate me!

Happiness in a four string and set pots and pans

Brad Pitt

First thought that comes to mind is how awesome the movie "Meet Joe Black", is.  There are a couple of movies that Brad Pitt are in (Fight Club, A River Runs Through It, etc...), that require more mental exertion than your normal blockbuster.  This one is freaking awesome.  It's about the spiritual manifestation of death taking a man's life for the purpose of using his body to experience life.  Right before Death kills this man he is in the course of having a conversation with a woman in a cafe during which the woman happens to fall in love with him.  Death chooses a guide, a mortal, to be his guide in life and the person he chooses just so happens to be this woman's Father... I KNOW RIGHT?!  awesome.  Super Original.  Well I thought it was original until I looked it up on Wikipedia and found out it was ripped off of an old Twilight Zone episode from the fifties.  Well whatever.  Still cool.

SEE IT!

Self Awareness

So this morning The Lords of Dogtown was on TV and I got to watch the tail end of it.  Tony Alva is freaking cool, along with all the other Z-boys.  It would've been cool to grow up in California where you could grow up as a surfer and through your skills be part of something that sparked and pushed the sport of skateboarding.  It's so cool learning about innovators and people that were the first to do something.  Not that I skateboard or anything but it's really inspiring to watch a movie like that even though they didn't really solve any of the world's problems.

So it was a bad month of car sales.  I think I may have two tomorrow (my day off) that I can sell to but we'll see what happens.  I think I'm unsure of myself and so when something doesn't go according to plan in the sales process I get lost and confused and I lose the sale.  My goal for next month is to just relax and go with the flow and be more direct in asking people to buy a car.  I've learned a lot about people and I'm sure I'll learn a lot more over the duration of this.  I really am enjoying it.

On a side note I'm watching the Knicks/Heat game...I hope the Heat lose.

I'm going to try and sell some stuff on Ebay to get some experience in selling stuff on the internet.  I know that it's not a major step but I think I need to start small if I'm going to have my own business some day.  I got this idea from an article written by a guy who's been an entrepreneur in various degrees since he was fourteen. 

I've also been reading a lot of books about business so that when I do take the venture of starting my own web business...maybe at the beginning of next year I'll have a better idea of where I want to go with it.

Hmmm that's all I got.



 

Awesomeness to partake of...

Is that how you spell Awesomness?  or is it Awesomeness?  Spell check is saying the former not the latter.  Don't I sound smart when talk like that.  No?  How about when I forget to put a question mark after a question?

So I'm selling cars in downtown Salt Lake City at Murdock Hyundai.  Come and buy a car from me so that I can pay for credits that don't transfer, useless religious classes and sub par housing next semester at BYUI :)

So far it's been good.  I've talked to a lot of people and sold a few cars...five to be exact.  Soon to be six.  We'll see if the guy's debit card goes through on Friday when he comes to pick up the car.  I got my Hyundai card in the mail today.  It works like a credit card I guess.  I wouldn't know but I will soon.  Whenever I sell a new car (not used) hyundai puts 50 bones onto the card for me to spend.  If I sell more than three the 50 turns into 100.  I like that idea.  It's good stuff. 

I've really like playing my bass and listening to music lately.  Here are some of the songs I've been listening to...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__OSyznVDOY&feature=related  this is Charles Mingus who is a famous Jazz player...he arranged this.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3rDzHxgM1Yo  This is a band called Death From Above 1979 ...freaking awesome.

Love...Ben

My first Brog...

So no one cares but I'm writing a blog to experiment and learn about this stuff.  Mostly so I can learn how to, in the future, take advantage of the marketing opportunities that blogging would offer.  I'm tired and I told myself that I would write my first one so that I could stop dragging my feet on this little goal of mine.

I'll probably write whats going on in life and you know all the crap that that entails.

Uhhhh I'm so tired...going to bed.
