School is not as good as hamburger helper

Yesterday was the last day of the beginning of my life. It officially starts ending today. Here lies Justin Betts, he was murdered by the cost of his textbooks. Our books are going to cost us $1,000 dollars! Really. I have six books for one class! Who the hamburger HELper has six books?! And one of them is Beowulf. Um, no thanks. I already watched the movie, and that was enough for me. The best part was when the monster guy ripped the one dude in half and then drank his blood from his body. If they would have just run that clip over and over for one and a half hours the movie would have been much better. I just want more summer. Like the bald bad guy says in TMNT when he bumps into the red head kid, "Go (makes walking motion with his fingers) play." Two of the greatest words in the english, and i suppose the japanese language as well. Having chris down for a day and half this weekend rocked my socks off. Playing and screeching rock band for hours on end, it was just like old times, if the old times would have had rock band. Ridiculous amounts of fun it was. Have fun, that's all i want to do. While playing rock band Chris and I had this genius idea to tape the microphone to our tripod (because there were only two members of our band "III" and we wanted to sing and play at the same time.) So we did, and it was fantastic. Especially playing the tamborine with our faces because we had no free hands. So yesterday, I continued to use taped microphone to the tripod guy. I have become pretty good at it. But a man as outrageously handsome as myself should not be given this much talent, it's not fair. So I have decided to relinquish one of my talents, and that is my talent to impress people. I will no longer be doing this. I will now be shooting for mediocrity. I will not go above, and I will not go beyond. I will set the bar low and barely meet expectations. Sometimes people need to be brought down to earth, even if it is by themselves. Why do I need a college degree? The ninja turtles didn't have college degree's, let alone high school degree's and they were four of the greatest turtles this planet has ever seen. Except for that turtle that beat the hare in the race, that was one determined turtle, and that's why he doesn't count. I love BYU football, i have a special connection with ding dongs, and school is not nearly as good as hamburger helper.
(Note: Jesse is amazing at playing the guitar and singing at the same time. It is quite astounding. She is also far too attractive for so much talent. But she is "the one", not Neo, or Luke, or Rambo, so she gets to keep it all.)

Funny, funny stuff.
Sometime in the future we will hang out and it will be awesome. (If we weren't moving this weekend we wanted to go down there). Stupid, crappy apartment/neighborhood that forces us to move.
I do agree that school sucks. I hate being forced to learn things that I will never use in my entire life. And paying the ridiculous amount of money for the books.

Long live III. Such a short-lived, brilliant band. Good freakin' times.

You are definitely right about school not being as good as hamburger helper, but isn't that obvious? What is as good as hamburger helper?

When I get Rock Band 2, y'all'll (fun contractions) have to come rock out and reunite III. We can cover "Psycho Killer" and "Float On" to start our comeback tour.
