Okay so I just threw some Shakespherian crap at you there. Deal with it. I’m not perfect, your not perfect, none of us are perfect. But, sometimes we try to be. Perfection is a goal out of our reach, they say ‘Practice makes PERFECT!!!’, I say that’s a load of cruddy breadcrumbs scattered across the kitchen floor. Everybody practices to some extent, some more than others, yet we are nowhere near what we would consider as perfect. So, congratulations your mediocre! 
And there are other people who are perfectionists, people so absolutely aesthetic about how they live their lives they are more consumed with every tiny winy detail they fail to the see the big picture – Mr. B tends to think I’m one of them.
You see when I approach these videos and filming for that matter, I try to engage the audience – by being funny and making my video visually appealing. The reason I’ve taken so much time on these videos is because I am not simply not happy with them. They are just not funny. Another minor reason is because I look so fat in front of the camera, they say the camera adds ten pounds when it actually adds 20. Back to reasons. I need to have at least one funny moment, because examining how YouTube videos work, that’s what they’re really centered around. So I like what I did in the IT room the other day, so with that clip I want to edit it b
y the end of the week (no guarantees it’ll be up on YouTube, I always get in trouble when I guarantee something).
Okay before I get to far I have to tell Mr. B something. GET READY TO DO A INTERVIEW NEXT WEEK (with me that is). I want to get this video done before the end of the school year. This video is going to be almost spontaneous, playing around a little bit, with the exception of my questions. Mr. B, dress semi – formally (by which I mean dress in what you always wear) and be prepared for anything, and I mean anything because you never know what I might cook up. And when the interview is done your hair is going to turn white, just an advance warning. So that’s basically it…………
Being in this class really taught me about interacting through electronic means. I entered this class thinking that
I was to be handed the textbook and taught to write conventional essays, it turns out that we were to enter the class with a goal and exit achieving it. I haven’t done that yet. In retrospect, I haven’t even come close but I tried. I have never gotten an ‘F’ in my life, to me it stands for ‘Forbidden’, Failed’, and another word I’m not aloud to say, but I’m not crying (not yet anyway). This is because I learned something. I think if school was like this way I would actually be smarter. A testament to this are two great geniuses: Abraham Lincoln and Albert Einstein. Lincoln never had a formal education yet is today considered the greatest orator that ever lived (with regards to Dr. King). Einstein never finished standard education (school for those of you airheads out there), failed math, and obviously failed with his hair. Yet, he came up with a single formula (I could of thought of it too) that baffled all the book smart nerds. And one more example that popped into my dead: Will Hunting (from a movie, but what the heck). Will Hunting (played by Matt Damon, who according to Wikipedia went to Harvard) was a janitor at MIT, whose mathematical genius blew everyone away, including his dumbass professor and mentor. What I’m saying is that this class teaches us street smarts (not as bad as it sounds), something we will never obtain from textbooks, books, audiobooks, or e-books – book smart. I’ll trade my textbook for my MacBook any day.
